Review/Preview: Juan and Aimee tryst with passion, Regina and Aimee fight with even more passion. Regina tells Renato she loves him???
What they didn’t know: Juan still doesn’t know who he is seducing and Gabriel doesn’t know who he is trying to seduce,
Regina wants Aimee to reflect, ha, proof that she is halucinating. We have a pact that you swore to make Renato happy. Aimee counters with, I realize (doy cuenta) you are jealous because Renato prefers me. I will never realize my dreams, cries Regina while Aim smirks.

Clemencia comes down muttering, dios mio dios mio Renato cannot believe that his mother is asleep and not up wringing her hands in anguish for the missing Aimee, where ever has she gone. Rosenda finds Leonarda’s bedroom is empty just as Leo slips in down below saying she was in the office (despacho) while fixing her love-tangled hair. Feigning hot passion can be hard work, guys!

Santos is found hanging upside down from a tree.
Aimee declares in front of Leonarda that she cannot stand Regina and blames her for everything.

Rod and Noel fight over the bastardo (aka Juan) and Noel declares his intention to follow through with his promise to make things right.
Santo tells Juan who beat him and Juan swears revenge, sheesh, he always swears revenge.
Aimee says she is worried that Regina is a nervous mess and Renato says she is admirable and strong. Aimee, offended that the attention is wandering from her, Why didn't you pick her then ? Well event thought she is enchanting and perfect, my heart rests with you. You are tender, sensible, exuberant as only a girl of this earth can be.
Regina and the heavenly voice she writes of her paint and destiny and her pain in her diary . He heart will cry out that I love him. She loves him with all her soul.
Aimee draws words of love out of Renato. He will lover until one day if she betrays him and his anger breaks out that he would kill whoever caused her to betray him. She tells him to be tranquil and hugs looking pensive of what is to come.
Juan accosts “Price Gouger Guy” (Thanks 5 ft Latina, I can’t figure out his name either) in his office
Renato sees Juan’s adopted brother that Arcadio is always menacing, telling him that he is grateful that he came to Aimee’s rescue. and from now on he will have more responsibility. Arcadio with his best Johnny Cash disheveled pout looks sullen from behind the corn husks.
Aimee confides to Leonarda that Renato is so good and so noble She tells Leo she needs more time and doesn’t want to hurt Renato but she wants to get away from the finca by the sea and the mostly the unrelenting pressure. Feigning closeness, Aimee says she wishes Leo had been her mother. Just as Leonarda is breaking into a smile at this flattery, Rodrigo come up to tell Leo that Aimee will return to the port with him, to give her time to get prepared for wedding And to slow down her nightly maurauding, no doubt. Leo gripes, you always find reasons to get far form me, errr I mean, US. Don’t say that, don’t exaggerate . They decide that Regina is the real problem and he give Leo permission to discipline and punish her however she sees fit. Leo looks placated with the thought of inflicting punishment... HE is sure Regina will come to her senses and agree to marry Federico that fine and proper young man. He goes off and Leo cries that he is abandoning her again.
Aimee packs. and says she has no resentment (rencor) for Regina and you know why? because I feel sad (pena) for you. Pain sweeps across Regina face.
***
Regina only wants her to keep her promise and make him happy. She tells her of leaving with their father to return to the port and Regina wants to know if she will actually take herself away from Juan de Diablo. [Ed. note, my spell checker just inserted Juan Doable here, isn’t it fun when spellchecker shows such irony.] Rodrigo enters the room asking to speak to Regina alone, When the smirking Aimee retires, He avers that of course he loves her, a father always loves his kids. End of sweet nothings that took him days to come up with, he goes on: He is not going to put up with her stubborn refusal. She will have to stay at the finca to recuperate and reflect on being obedient He is doing his fatherly duty.
Madelena and Felipe plan or Felipe presents his plans of entertainments, Madelena hesitates, ..And my daughter. and Felipe encourages her to stay and put on a show, When she capitulates, Felipe is all ballet toes across the room and out the door. She wonders what her daughter will really think when she realizes Madelena is her mother.
Rosenda plays a dangerous game with Arcadio she knows of his trysts with Leo and other secrets he keeps He tells her she is playing with fire. and throw her on the hay but doesn't jump on her. She says knowingly that she has the upper hand.
Regina tells Clemencia that she is suffering to obey her father and still doesn’t want to marry when Federico doesn’t love her and she certainly does not love him. It is so hard to be close to Renato. Clemencia unwisely tells her to arm herself with valor and tell him how she really feels. Regina, who actually has good sense, says, No, he is engaged to her sister so she wants to leave the finca in order to not fall into temptation. Clem says she knows that Renato is not going to be happy at the side of Aimee. Rosenda ushers in the handsome young doctor. To his query about how she is coming along, she sighs that, she is mortified and her heart suffers. She says too much mortifies her. He listens to her suffering heart with tender use of his stethoscope. He doesn’t like her so, and says she should go out in the sun to enjoy life. Happiness is the best medicine for the soul. Angels sing (well really the church choir) and Clem and Doc smile.
Renato comes to tell Regina that they will follow doctor’s orders and he will take her out in the sun on a photo shoot.
Juan strings up the Price Gouger with a rope. Juan and fisher friend fight over whether to kick out the chair or not. His fisher friend doesn’t want to kill gouger guy, no way.
Renato drives out to the field chirping cheerfully about spring planting and her getting better, impulsively Regina confesses her love to Renato’s surprised look. Oh Clemencia what false hopes you gave the girl.
****
Renato I love you... like a friend, like the sister you never had. I love that you worry for my happiness like I worry for yours. Great save when she saw the shocked reaction of Renato to her confession.
Juan’s fisher friend cuts through the rope and gouger guy barely breaths as he lies on the floor. Juan tells GG, he has his fisher friend to thank for his life and he better be clear that he himself could change his mind.
Renato looks a little relieved and says always Regina has been his best, best friend and such an enchanted but elevated lady that he was a bit intimidated by her. Do you actually want a worldly love? She says more than you can imagine. You have always been more spiritual than I, he points out, but I cannot pretend this, can you accept it. When the one who loves you is not the right one to love. I will look out for and help you. He promises to always be her best friend, no her brother She repeats my brother my best friend. Sheesh, pitiful consolation prize, says her face...
Noel gets the best lineof the night. Leonarda and Noel argue about the struggles of the young people. He supports their right to find love and happiness, She sneeringly, says what do you know of love?. He counters with, Thanks to you I know nothing. He tells her that she has a love for Renato that is more about her and expects that his love choice will keep her near who she really wants to be near while he will fight to help his son find real love, no matter what she says. She reflects that she doesn't much care if Renato ends up staying at her side and much less Aimee.
***
Back at Puerto de Alvarado again, Aimee dances in front of the mirror holding her new aqua velvet gown. She feels free, free and especially free of Regina. Now she can see Juan without the observation and most important the interference of anyone.
Juan and his fisher friend argue over whether they are murderers like price gouger guy. Fisher friend recalls that Juan’s father wouldn't like these tactics. Juan takes issue, saying his father died from being a good man. But, he is full of revenge!
Rodrigo talks at young handsome Doc that Regina is only pretending to be sick for the drama and attention. YH Doc couldn't agree less that her melancholy comes from something very real. Rodrigo, ever the mean man, recalls that her mother, Constanza was weak and always imagined dreadful things in her lethargy as she slipped away from them. Unfortunately, YH Doc thinks she is just like her Mama. Cruel faced Rod really doesn’t like this Are we seeing a glimpse of why Rod is so mean to Regina, she does so resemble her lovely mother. YH Doc continues, She need protection and care and if she doesn’t get it, she won’t get well and he will lose his daughter. Are wee seeing a medical crush develop here? Rod is not moved to compassion as far as we can see.
Clemencia and Regina discuss the “confession that wasn’t” to Renato and Regina says she needs to get away. When the camera pans, we see that Regina is back in the huge nun habit packing her tiny bag, muttering that she needs to be as far form Renato as possible.
***
On the beach, Santo cries out as the villager fisher friends dab his wounds with rags as he yells. The kid goes off to search for a promised super herb. The fisher friend can’t believe how bitter Juan is.
Rodrigo replays the doctor’s warning about needing love, care and compassion for his daughter.
The scampy Aimee comes to the parlor assuring her father she is going off to meet old school friends from her infancy. She needs to reestablish contact with them.
Juan talks to his father’s grave and tells him he has to stay bitter and strong (like great coffee?) when he finally meet up with the Montes de Ocas.
Aimee saunters on the beach with her friends. While Juan sails on his ship, steering then swimming as he replays his father's dying words that he must revenge his mother’s death and ill-treatment against the Montes de Ocas. There will be now exceptions, he will hate all of them. Thus foreshadowing a great discovery soon.
Regina fights off the deprecating interference of Leonarda as Regina insists that she is owner of her own acts as of today. Don’t try to interfere with my path. Nasty aunty Leonarda snaps back, NO wonder your father prefers Aimee, she is so much more agreeable. Regina retorts, He always pardons her excesses for sure. What does that mean says Leo?
Next back to the Estrella/ gypsy Jimena taunting Gabriel where she gives him more veiled kisses even though he thinks Estrella has betrayed him and broken his heart, oh yes. and Juan has found his way off the ship and into Aimee's bedroom where he clutches her and then threatens that he is ready to declare his love to her father. Oh no....
What they didn’t know: Juan still doesn’t know who he is seducing and Gabriel doesn’t know who he is trying to seduce,

Thanks a bunch for another fun trip through la la land. Loved the "Doable Juan". Your spellchecker must have a nifty sense of humor, huh! I totally deflated when Regi amended her declaration of love to the sisterly definition. Blech! Renato's jealousy regarding Aimee seemed to border on insanity, tho' can't say as I blame him telling her he wouldn't put up with being two-timed. Anvils are just waiting to crash down on this poor chump.
It would appear that Renato didn't fall far from the tree. We know where he gets the insane jealously from: his mama! I enjoy seeing CdlF in this role as a conflicted good guy turned not so good. Compared to other TNs I have seen, this one isn't that crazy - yet. I definitely enjoy Juan del Diablo scantily clad! The Ayme/Regina actress is terrific in the way she keeps her characters separated. And she is pretty, too!

Well here I am up in the pre-dawn morning with circadian sleeplessness, the time change is still wreaking havoc inside my head.
I think Renato is a nuanced character too that is giving the pretty faced Cristian de la Fuente some deeper definition. I think there will be a good range of emotions that Aimee will put him through as well as Regina has made him think with his head and heart, in contrast to tarty Aimee.
Teresita, I am pleasantly surprised the Aracely Arambula's abilities too. I did not expect much after reading an unflattering comment about her characterization of Regina being wooden. Clearly that person liked the more flamboyant Aimee. I think the controlled Regina who has only occasional outbursts of feeling is well done. And boyo boyo did I love that initial slap in the face felt good (to watch).

Thanks, Cheryl! Awesome job & now, Juan Doable will forever be stuck in my brain.
Teresita, I too think the actress playing Regina/Aimee (Aracely??) is doing a great job. She's portraying 2 very different personalities & I think that if they had chosen to use similar hair coloring, we'd still be able to tell them apart. Perhaps a bit over the top at times but she's doing one heckuva job with the 2 sisters.
I hope we don't get too FELSian & have an overabundance of evil that doesn't get resolved until the gran finale.
How come Renato never takes his shirt off? We get 1/2 nekkid I-Juan-A-Brain all of the time but personally, I can't wait to see Renato a little less buttoned up. He's got a nice bum, which looks scrumptious in those riding britches. [ogle, ogle, ogle]
And QTH was Noel wearing around his neck last night? A wee bit too feminine, IMHO.
Maggarita
:-P

Thanks for the recap Cheryl. Fabulous as always. I'm so far behind it isn't funny. I took 2 days of vacation to do work outside and it rained and was cold the whole time. Ack! Haven't had time to read recaps or comments for the last two days. I'll check back later but just wanted to say "Hey" to everybody.
Cheryl, you always make me laugh with your recaps. I think you are the queen of one-liners. Hard to pick a favorite but the one that made me laugh the most, not sure why: "Arcadio with his best Johnny Cash disheveled pout looks sullen from behind the corn husks."
Aimee has always been capricious to be sure but in the past seemed kinder to Regina. Has she been getting more mean, cruel and spiteful?
Joan Doable, heh, I love it.

Thank you for the recap, Cheryl; I will go and read it right away. I'd just like to say it's nice to see people appreciating Aracely; I have always liked her since "Rencor Apasionado" (her favorite show is The Simpsons -- how can she be bad, LOL), and I think she's doing a great job in demanding roles. Plus, she is always beautiful. BBL...
Aimee has always been capricious to be sure but in the past seemed kinder to Regina. Has she been getting more mean, cruel and spiteful?
Regina (and Clemencia and Rosenda) is the only one who can see through Aimee and she's the only one who can credibly bust Aimee. If Clemencia or Rosenda busted Aimee, they'd be dismissed as mere criadas making trouble. If Aimee were busted, she'd lose her daddy's love, the money and social position and Renato. So Aimee's got to discredit Regina as being just a jealous loser who can't get a man.
Now what I don't understand is why Leonarda can't see that Aimee is playing with Renato or that Aimee's constant absenses = having a secret lover. She should be able to see the signs, since Rosario did it.
But it's more to Leonarda's (and Rodrigo's) benefit if Aimee married Renato instead of Regina, because Regina would appeal to Renato's good side and would encourage Renato to look for Juan, which would then reveal Leonarda/Rodrigo's involvement in the "death" of Rosario/disappearance of Rosario's baby...

Thanks, Cheryl. I still have a problem with the same actress playing two different "twin" roles with all the camera tricks and wig-clad doubles. I get the feeling that when Aimee is talking to Regina, she is talking into the air. And, that spills over to scenes when she is talking to someone, and not really looking at them.
I just get a notion that her scenes are just tricks and that the rest was added in later.
Anybody get this vibe?

Cheryl, this was a fabulous recap! Soo funny. Can't stop lol at Juan Doable! Really, your writing was marvelous. :)
Excellent recap, Cheryl. I was laughing out loud at several points.
Pasofino, I also sometimes get distracted with the camera tricks they do to make it look as if Regina and Aimee are in the same room. But many times I forget about all that. I think overall, the actress is doing a pretty good job of making us see the two different sisters.
Juan's adopted brother is Remigio.
The fisher friend is Pedro.
Felipe (with a funny French accent to his Spanish) was happy that the girls could finally take on (prostitution) clients. Madeleine/Magda had previously wanted to keep up the farce that they were high society ladies, so her daughter Rosenda wouldn't think badly of her. But Rosenda already met her, professed that she hates her (won't forgive Magda for abandoning her years ago), so they might as well get some money in. Madeleine/Magda has agreed to allow the girls to ply their wares, although Rosenda will now think even less of her.
I loved how Regina just happens to have that full nun's habit ready to wear, didn't leave it at the convent.

Madeleine/Magda had previously wanted to keep up the farce that they were high society ladies, so her daughter Rosenda wouldn't think badly of her. But Rosenda already met her, professed that she hates her (won't forgive Magda for abandoning her years ago), so they might as well get some money in. Madeleine/Magda has agreed to allow the girls to ply their wares, although Rosenda will now think even less of her.
I loved how Regina just happens to have that full nun's habit ready to wear, didn't leave it at the convent.
Great Recap, Cheryl! Love your detail, humor, and spell checker!
Hombre, thanks for the explanation of the Magda/Filipe/Rosenda situation. I wasn't too clear about that.
BTW, Regini wore the nun's habit home when she was sent back.

Thanks Cheryl! Juan Doable! Don't you just love spell check that tells the truth? Too funny!
Thanks Hombre, I wondered why Filipe "toe-danced" across the room. Now I know - more big, hunky men in the casino! Whoo Hoo!
Yeah, Aimee seems more nasty as time goes by. And I can't look at Leo anymore without thinking "she's got cooties under that dress."

Hi Cap'nSS,I sure see the Aimee side of twindom has suddenly become much meaner where before they showed the child merely self-absorbed and more vacuous while Regina devleoped likeable skills (for me at least) as a photographer that help show her more altruistic nature.
Hi Connie, It's springing into beautiful here in NM, hope you enjoyed the rainy day, sometimes I miss Boston like weather (but not often).
Jeri and anon at 9:52, Aracely is fantastic in my book and good point that Leonarda isn't catching on to Aimee's slipping away but part of the time she is absent on her own tawdry twrysts with CashMan.
Maggarita, I vote for more scanty costumes for Renato too. Don't you think that while Leonarda is somewhat motherly to Renato, she like Aimee is so self-absorbed and Renato is merely a tool to keep her nearer to Rodrigo via his relationship to his daughter.
Rodrigo is also showing a preference to the selfish Aimee who is more like him and a decided dislike of the Constanza like nicer Regina. I am so glad Clemencia and Noel are there to give support and comfort to Regina.

Pasofino, I haven't paid that much attention to the camera angles in the stand in problem for the twins. Especially on Wednesdays when I am try to keep one eye on the computer as I type and still look at the screen to see what subtle or obvious visual clues we are getting thrown at us.
Ahh, HombredeM. thanks for expanding the brothel plans. I missed the exact words and decided not to go back to check it out. Does Rosenda yet know that Madelena/Madam is really Mama? Or does she only suspect that this woman has a weird vibe.
I like the tippy toeing Felipe and his French accented Spanish. I also like that he is really kind to Madam (I guess we can call her the real thing now) even if his brothel plans are basically immoral. It will be done iwth artistic flair at least.

Xintperuvian, egad, now I am thinking cooties under the silk dresses too, Yow!
Thanks for the appreciation Cielo and all. I am so enjoying being back. The speed is coming back while the hiatus has solidified some of my comprehension, in that I now type in English as I am watching and I no longer use the subtitles which I was still relying on in Spansih up to last summer. Needing to use spellchecker in the edit process is producing some unexpected fun when my typing gets off.

Cheryl, I am amazed! Your recaps are so thorough, yet they move right along. You do this as you watch...and without captions? Spellcheckers are a necessary evil, but you gotta watchout for the little buggers. Doable, indeed!
I've become an Aracely Arambula fan, too; not expecting subtlety from her (not in these roles, anyway) But as a sort of comic-book character, it's owrking for me. She's really hamming up the Aimee role. I think the Regina role will start to flesh out as the plot progresses.

I think Leo is a mother to Renato in name only. She couldn't care less who Renato marries because he is Noel's (or Arcadio's). Now, if he were Rodrigo's son, there wouldn't be a woman in the world good enough.
Hang in there amigos, we only have about 100 episodes to go before-----

Looks like the name is Soy tu dueña instead of La dueña de tu amor.

With all this talk of revenge and all of I-Juan-A-Brain's screaming I keep expecting Oscar and Franco Reyes to come running out! I like the novela without Juan.
Aimee is not a nice person; but I think her turn for the worse lately was prompted by Renato's declaration of love. After all the years Aimee had to endure everyone -- especially Regina -- criticizing her behavior, it turns out she was absolutely right!
At least Aimee thinks so. The proof is in the marriage proposal. So, I think that although she is naturally not nice, what's going on now is payback.
And they had Renato seal the deal and tell Aimee just why he loves her in the same episode: he loves her vivacity, her frankness, her earthiness.
All the things she promotes so ardently in herself; perhaps she thinks her sister would have done better to follow her instead of criticize her -- and then she would have had the man she loves.
Leonarda going berserk over the gardenias just reminded me of a small saving grace she may have: she was supposed to have killed her sister, but she couldn't.
She kept her alive, whereas she did kill the twins' mother. When Leonarda goes berserk over the gardenias, I wonder if it's both jealousy and guilt powering her reaction.
Also, they had Renato repeat what Noel said about the strange argument around the doctor's death: that it could have been avoided with a little understanding and sympathy.
But there's a lot of jealousy in the Montes de Ocas preventing it, since both Leonarda and Rodrigo were too jealous to tolerate Rosario's choice -- so Renato's unreasoning jealousy is honestly come by.
His outburst to Aimee last night reminded me again that he might not be Noel's son. He's got a crazy streak that makes him a good candidate for son of Leonarda and Arcadio, but raised by a good guy like Noel.

Lady Xocm Thanks for the comment on my recapping. I turned off the Spanish captions on all programs last summer although I was doing the simultaneous typing/watching by then. When I came back last month, I realized I don't need the subtitles any more, and the ads are much more annoying since I understand them without trying. I kind of miss when I could tune them out.
The Arecely characterizations are partly fun because of her over the top exaggeration of Aimee. I just wonder how many hours she needs daily to get on all the extra make-up and the Uber-bustiers. Maybe they film all the Regina pieces first then add the Aimee "enhancers". All part of the great fun from my point of view.
Variopinta, Thanks for the pictures of Colunga and Lucero, they certainly can vie for some of the cutest people on the planet awards. Meanwhile, I intend to enjoy this telenovela and the fun characters in it.
Xintperuvian, it is fun to see Helena Rojo be so bad when she is usually such a noble lovely character. You can't imagine her being altruistic in the slightest in this role. I agree that she doesn't seem to care what Renato does as long as it helps her move along toward her goals of conquering Rodrigo. But, eewww, I hope Renato is Noel's and not ArCASHio's child. Noel deserves so much better.

Melissa, I don't much care for Juan's screaming either but I sure like when he slides in or out of the water in silence... I also liked him in well fitting suits in Destilando Amor where he played more of an intellectual role but given to passion and outbursts just occasionally.
Jeri, I am intrigued with your observations on the characters. Much food for thought as always. Aimee isn't very nice and much more Rodrigo's child than Constanza's but she does spite really well. Nice catch on Leonarda not quite being able to kill her own sister. Small reprieve but not big. She still has made her live in squalor all these years. However, I think Rosario is lucky that Arcadio doesn't fancy her but waits for Leo to show up for moments of passion.

I became an Aracely fan, too. I don't like her Aimée interpretation (the dresses, the make-up, her gestures), but she performs the two roles completely different way. When I see the twins I forget that they are played by the same actress.
On the other hand, I adore the Regina character. Imho she's gentle, sweet, and doesn't cry much, gracias por Dios (remember Sufría from FELS?). Maybe she's overly goody-goody but she's got a strong and passionate personality, she's stood up against Juan, daddy and Aimee.
Plus when Aracely wears the Regina-accessories (the wig, the decent make-up, the innocent expressions), she looks angelic. Even in those awful cupcake dresses and the nun habit.

Thanks, Cheryl~~I am finally able to get here after a crazy day starring in my own novela. [I'm still thinking of a good title.] Juan is doable. Is anyone watching Zorro ? I have a feeling it's nearing the end. I'll have to check out the recaps. I have the closed captions on, but I only understand some of the dialogue [but more than I did 3 years ago when I started watching my first novela -Alborada]. I think that they are showing ''Heridas de Amor'' in the afternoon on either telefuturo or Telemundo. I'm still watching El Clon at 8 pm.

Hi Mad Bess, Glad to hear from you. I have been watching the rerun of Amor Real which is so good. I haven't had time to check in on Zorro this time. It is one of the best ever too in my opinion.
Once I do the brain = pear floating in jello thing, I am enjoying Corazon and all the other crazy telenovelas we are surrounded by now. It is all great practice and always, always better than grammar drills.

Cheryl, your lament over the commercial breaks made me chuckle. :-D
And I don't know how we'd be able to find out who's the father of Renato -- in novelas de epoca, the only way to find out is birthmarks or inherited ailments, etc., unless some character knows for sure.
Leonarda does care what Renato does, though. She said in dialog that Renato will always be happiest with her rather than anybody else, including Aimee.
And I trust pretty much anything Noel says; he said Leonarda has a sick attachment to Renato and that no woman is good enough for him by her.

Cheryl, Rosenda definitely recognized her mother. Here's a bit from Jardinera's recap of last week.
"Magda sits down and thinks to herself that she's finally going to see her daughter after all this time apart from her. Rosenda walks in. She takes one look at Magda and realizes immediately who is sitting there and expectantly staring her in the face. It might be "the call of the blood" but Rosenda is anything but pleased that it has beckoned her. "Sour puss" doesn't quite capture it."
And then "Mme. Marlene politely agrees and then asks Rosenda how long she's been working there in the house. Rosenda says ever since her mother abandoned her. "It's something I will never forgive! If it hadn't been for Sra. Leonarda, I don't know what would have happened to me." Magda gets all weepy-eyed."

Thanks Hombre, once again I am grateful that you are following the plot with all episodes and/or all recaps. I haven't been able to do that and the price is that I miss some important info like that altogether. But that is the joy of this site that someone is there to help us to fill in the blanks or the mistakes. Caray2 is a treasure for sure and all of you.
