Salvaje, 04/ 30/10: Who Does Juan Think He’s Kissing?
Capítulo 51:
[“What lies lurk in kisses.” --Heinrich Heine]
As we return to deal with the family affairs (and I do mean that loosely) at Finca del Mar, Renato is telling his mama the changes in workloads and duties for the workers that he is going to make. The idea is to keep the people strong, well-fed, and productive rather than overworked beasts of burden who can barely manage to carry their load. He will have Regi oversee an artisan workshop for the women that will also bring in additional profits on the side, something muy advanced for the age, and the kids then will have more time for schooling. Leonarda is truly scandalized and worries that Ren and Juan’s new-fangled ideas will take them to the poorhouse. Ren says he isn’t asking her permission; he’s simply letting her know what’s up. He’s already approved them. Needless to say, Mama is muy disturbed that somebody actually has a bigger pair than hers now.
As Ren leaves the office, Arcadio slinks in. Ren eyes him suspiciously and asks if he wants him or his mother. The Orca slavishly says he’s there to speak with Leona. After Ren leaves, Arcadio informs Leona that Regina been in the basement passage ways again to develop more of her photographs. Leona is upset that Regi isn’t using the place she set up for her in the attic. “Regi’s intelligent enough that sooner or later she could figure things out and get suspicious.” She asks what he did with Maria del Rosario. Orca tells her he did the usual: tied MdR up and gagged her, threatening to kill both Mirta and MdR if either of them made any noise. Leona moans and groans at the trouble it causes her keeping on top of things with him. Dunno. Maybe this kvetching turns the Orca on, because he immediately whispers in Leona's ear that he wants her to visit him later for another nighttime nookie-fest. Leona refuses, saying she’s gotten his job back for him and so nookie nights with him are now a thing of the past. He says no way and not so fast! Their little goosing get-togethers are forever and always. If she doesn’t believe him, well he’s got a letter that will be more of a threat than just parading MdR around for everyone to see. She wonders what letter he means. Orca shows her the letter he found in Constanza’s trunk which accuses Leonarda of having poisoned her. So now Leonarda is at his mercy and will have to do whatever he orders her to –and that means givin’ him more of what he’s lookin’ for.
Aimee is back upstairs in her room remembering tackily trying to kiss Juan in the tack room and him rejecting her. Clemencia comes in to check on Aimee. Aimee says she wants to rest a bit. Clem asks why, since she hasn’t done anything today to make her so tuckered. Aimee says she just would rather not see people when so much chaos abounds throughout the house. Just then Regi races in to tell them that she just found their mother’s trunk full of interesting things and wants to look through them. Aimee has no interest in useless old pieces of junk [cachivaches= knickknacks/ junk], so Regi and Clem head down to the basement to check things out without her highnass.
In the basement, Orca returns to find Jimena waiting on Regi to return with Clem. He suspects her of trying to steal something out of the trunk, but Regi and Clemencia show up and she’s off the hook. Clem mentions that the lock’s been broken on the trunk so the key Sra. Constanza gave her years ago is no longer necessary. Regi and Mena say the trunk was already opened when they found it. Clem starts poking through the stuff to find the letter that was to be given to her daughters. Clem looks suspiciously over at Orca. “Who could have taken it?” Orca looks a little sheepish and asks what use a letter would be to him. Clem looks accusingly at him and is definitely not convinced.
Back at the manse in Veracruz, Rod sends Rosenda home with a few gold coins for her special sheet turn-down service. He says he’ll send for her the next time he’s in the mood. For now, she’s got to leave before the servants show up. Rosenda obeys and kisses him sensually on the cheek, adding she’s hoping he’ll be sending for her again ve-r-r-ry soon. Rod’s face turns to stone.
Back in the finca’s basement, Leona has come to see about the opened trunk. Clem tells her the trunk’s lock was broken and Constanza’s letter to her daughters is missing. Leona, acting cool as a cuke in cold storage, asks if Clem knew what was in the letter. Clemencia says she hasn’t the slightest idea. Leona “orders” Orca to look for it everywhere and says she’s sure it will turn up soon. Regi introduces Mena to her. Leona pretends not to mind their friendship and gives it her blessing. She wants Regi to promise not to go anywhere else down there. She is to use only this room because it would be too dangerous to go traipsing through the rest of the basement. Regi promises enthusiastically. Leona’s played her cards right and her secrets are safe for now.
Meanwhile, Renato comes upstairs and finds Aimee in their room. After a little turtledove chitchat he asks her why she doesn’t seem to like Juan. Aimee tells Renato that there is just something about the man that makes her uneasy and mistrustful of him. Ren says it seems Regi doesn’t like the guy either. Aimee tells him she thinks Regi is simply pretending to throw off their suspicions, but she is certain that Regi and Juan have been seeing each other all along. Ren insists they have no proof of that unless perhaps Regi’s said something to her. Aimee insists that she knows her sister and therefore what she says is true. Regi is involved with Juan. She can see it in her eyes. Ren thinks she’s possibly making false accusations and Aimee pretends to be greatly offended. When Ren defends Regi and her good works for the people of Paradise, she lets her jealousy show. “You seem to be enchanted with her! --Well, anyway, for her own good she should go back to the convent to avoid temptation and sin.” (Aimee knows all about this kind of sin.) The aforementioned accused walks in on the two of them unexpectedly. Regi excuses herself for interrupting them. She’s there to speak to her sister. Ren kisses Aimee good-bye and kisses Regi’s hand politely before excusing himself so the two women can chat alone.
Once Ren is gone, Aimee continues to lord her control of him over Regi. She cruelly teases her sister about feeling “heavenly” when Ren kissed her hand. Regi accuses Aimee of being jealous of her but says not to complain. After all, Ren loves Aimee, and she has no intention of betraying her. “Enjoy your perfumes, your oils, your lace, and your silks. Leave me to my misery and misfortune. We won’t cross paths again because we are going our very different and separate ways.” (Methinks she’s just politely told Aimee to stuff it.) Aimee sniggers condescendingly as Regi leaves in tears --no sisterly love loss there on Aimee’s part.
That night at Juan’s, Gabriel comes in with news that the price of wood continues to fall and that the company has lost thousands of pesos. Gabe asks if he shouldn’t tell his business partners about this. Juan doesn’t want them told yet. “Just keep buying their shares and investing in wood.” “—But your lawyers in Spain are very upset.” He tells Gabe to calm them down and tell them he has a strategy in mind. Juan is, in fact, very happy to see that the price of wood continues to go down because Rodrigo Montes de Oca is at the point of going broke. Gabe is worried about how angry MdO will be when he realizes it was Juan who took him to ruin. Juan doesn’t care and says he wants MdO to suffer so much that he can’t eat or sleep. “It should consume him slowly, just like my father’s pain consumed him—or have you forgotten that I am a man without a country or a family thanks to him? I don’t understand you who always search for your ties to family and love. Ties that I have never had!”
Samuel comes looking for Servando in his tent. Fulgencio wants a meet with him. The only thing Samuel will tell Servando up front is that there’s a lot of money for him in it.
Aimee is still in her bedroom staring lovingly at herself in the mirror. “Juan will never leave me because he will never find another woman like me!”
Juan asks Gabe if he thinks there’s something his enemies can do to hurt him. Gabe says he’s simply thinking of something unexpected, something like love. Is he sneering at love also, asks Gabe? Juan doesn’t want to talk about love right now.
Eloisa and Feddie are finishing up in bed at her seamstress’s house. Feddie wants to leave and head to the casino before Fulgencio gets back and realizes she’s been gone. Eloisa tells him Fully’s no threat. “The old fart couldn’t kill a fly.” Feddie thinks to himself, “If she only knew how vengeful and vile her husband really is.”
Servando and Samuel arrive at the gunrunners’ cave and Fulgencio makes his dramatic appearance. Fully offers Servando a job working for him if he can prove his ability with a knife. He needs a strong man who doesn’t ask questions. In exchange he offers his protection and a boat-load of money. Fully puts him to the test. He has Servando and one of his gargantuan goons go at it in the cave. If Servando wins the knife fight the job is his. If he loses, he’ll be thrown to the sharks. Servando wins by throwing knives into the goon’s stomach and heart, killing him almost instantly.
At the casino, two of the three hookers do another version of their strip-tease which is very “warmly” received by the politely panting male patrons.
Meanwhile, our fourth little hooker, Rosenda, returns to the finca and comes into the kitchen. Clemencia is waiting for her. She asks if Rosenda has been fooling around with Don Rod. Rosenda tells her to mind her own business and threatens to tell everything she knows about Aimee and the others if Clem meddles any further regarding her doings with Don RamRod. Rosenda then leaves the kitchen and runs into Leonarda by the stairs. Leona wants to know where she’s been all this time. Rosenda lies, saying that she’s suddenly got religion and has been at church in town. Leonarda tells her she doesn’t mind her going as long as she takes care of her household duties first. She sends her upstairs to tell Aimee that dinner will be ready in a few moments.
Aimee is still admiring herself in the mirror when Rosenda comes in. Aimee reminds her of the time Rosenda offered her assistance. She asks if Rosenda can get hold of one of Regina’s old habits. She offers Rosenda any jewel of hers she chooses if she can find a habit for her. She wants it that same night. If Rosenda passes her “test” then fine, otherwise she’ll kick her out on her ass-ets. Rosenda assures her she can stay mum and will be able to help.
Fully’s next “test” for Servando is to rob Feddie’s house. He gives Servando a makeshift plan of the mansion’s layout and tells him where Feddie hides his cash. Servando agrees and leaves on his mission. Once Servando’s gone, Fully tells Samuel that he wants to make sure Feddie remains peso-less and dependent on him.
Eloisa comes home with her cover story ready. She complains to the housekeeper that she has a migraine after spending the whole day at the seamstress’s house. She refuses dinner and goes upstairs to bed.
Feddie has lost all his cash tonight playing poker at the casino. The horn toad has been eyeing Fifi on stage and decides to ease the pain with the kind of evening “intervention” Fifi is best known for. They arrange to meet at his place in a few minutes.
Back at the finca after dinner Rosenda appears and signals Aimee “mission accomplished”. Noel suggests a game of chess with Renato. He wants to beg off to spend time with Aimee, but Aimee, having plans of her own, tells him tonight she’ll let him and his father enjoy themselves because she’s not feeling too well. Aimee, Regi and Leonarda say good-night to the men and go their own way.
Aimee is ecstatic to find the novice’s habit ready and waiting for her on her bed. Rosenda comes in and says she has kept her word. Aimee has her choose something out of her jewelry box and Rosenda chooses the locket that Ren (I think) gave her years ago. She starts to object, but when Rosenda gets snippy, she figures what the hey.
Regi is in her bedroom, suspecting that something’s up with Aimee. She doesn’t want to believe that her sister would actually to try to see Juan again. “She wouldn’t be that foolish or careless! Besides, Renato would surely realize!” In the end she figures the only thing she can do it try to relax and go to bed.
Back in town, Feddie and Fifi start to get frisky in the bedroom. A badly timed and muy intrusive ring at the front door from Rodrigo, who’s bored and eager to chat, interrupts them. Feddie tells her to stay put and not to step foot outside the bedroom.
Rodrigo mentions he was interested in seeing the house Feddy and Regi would be living in. He asks to see some of the handcrafted furniture from Italy that his parents accumulated and displayed in their bedroom. Feddie gulps hard but manages to think on his feet. He replies that unfortunately the furniture was too moth-eaten [estragos del polilla] and so he sold it off. Feddie offers to take him on a tour of the house (minus the bedroom) instead, and Rod accepts.
While Feddie’s in the living room, Fifi starts rummaging through his drawers looking for some sort of document but she doesn’t seem to find what she is looking for. She stops to check her watch and realizes how late it is. She tells herself that she has to leave and get back to the casino immediately or Mme. Marlene will realize she’s been gone. She puts on her cape and races out through the back hallway.
After the house tour Rod compliments Feddie on the way he’s restored the house to its earlier beauty and advises him to continue being subtle and persistent with Regi until she finally comes to accept him. Feddie agrees to and says he is certain she will eventually realize he loves her sincerely. (Viewerville offers a major eye-roll here.) Rod reminds Federico that the wedding with Regi will bring together two fortunes: his and his daughter’s inheritance from her mother which she will receive on her wedding day. It’s much more than whatever Rod is going to give him as a dowry. The dowry, he adds, will consist of half his shares in the wood enterprise. (Viewerville enjoys the last laugh on that one!) Feddie’s eyes are big as saucers impactados.
Out back of Feddie’s manse, Servando grabs Fifi from behind and holds a knife to her throat.
Back at the finca Noel takes a break from the chess game. He looks out the window and sniffs in the sea breeze, but then has a start when he thinks he sees a shadow of someone in the garden. Ren comes over to look with him.
Juan, meanwhile, is going stir crazy at home. Gabe’s little talk has left him antsy. He leaves the house.
Ren is starting to have negative thoughts after Noel’s mention of the shadow passing through the garden.
Servando warns Fifi not to look at him and says she’ll be fine as long as she doesn’t raise a ruckus. He asks if there’s anyone in the house. She nods that there is. He says he thought he might have made a mistake about the house. He then covers her eyes and gives her one of those disgusting, signature kisses of his before climbing over the wall and disappearing. After a few minutes the frightened Fifi climbs over the wall herself, in a hurry to return to the casino before being found out.
The Fopster, meanwhile, points out to Rod that it should be evident that he has no economic problems and thus will not care in the least to touch a centavo of Regi’s fortune. “She herself is the most valuable of all.” (The smell from the sh!t he's slinging here is so strong it's suffocating!) Rod says he realizes that to be the case and once Regi is married off he will cease to fret over her. He talks Feddie, then, into joining him at the casino a while. Feddie goes to his bedroom supposedly to get his cane and hat. He looks for Fifi In the bedroom, but eventually decides that she must have already left. Feddie races out through the back hallway with his cane and coat.
Back at the finca Renato can no longer concentrate on the chess game and tells his daddy that there are many things about Regi that are now beginning to worry him. He reminds Noel about the time she snuck off to the caves. They don’t know why she would have gone there in particular, but several things he’s “discovered” about Regi’s actions are beginning to frighten Ren. Noel asks him to clarify. Ren says he cannot be sure but he thinks Regina and Juan have something going on together and he thinks she went to the caves that time to meet Juan. Noel asks if he can prove it. Ren admits that he can’t. Noel tells him not to mention the business to anyone unless he can.
Juan enters the love cave and hears someone rustling around in it. He turns around and sees “Regina” standing there. “Santa Regina! This is the last thing I needed right now! What are you doing here?” “Regina” tells him meekly that she put on the habit again because of her impending “great sacrifice”. He’s totally confused. She explains that she is ready to sacrifice herself by “surrendering” herself to him [entregarse = polite euphemism for sexual intercourse] in exchange for him leaving her sister Aimee alone. Juan spouts jibberish as “Regi” inches towards him. He doesn’t understand a word she’s saying, he tells her, though it seems Juan’s actually struggling to keep his knees from turning to jelly as the heat from her simply being near him continues to melt his resistance. He tries valiantly to resist her upturned face and gentle kisses for all of about a second or three.
An old Chinese saying states that “kissing is like drinking salted water: you drink and your thirst increases.” Juan’s definitely been thirsting in the desert for quite a while now and eventually he lets his lower half convince his upper half to go with the proverbial oasis-like flow. --Someone else has also said that “a kiss that speaks volumes is seldom a first edition.” It remains to be seen if Juan recognizes which volume he’s currently reading.

What clever quotes, Jardinera. You've really elevated the art of the recap with this one. I salute you, amiga.
On a more down to earth level, nightmare nookie-fest, goosing get-together and "the Fopster" (love that) were just a hoot.
Also appreciate the embedded vocabulary. Always good to pick up some new words, along with those interesting proverbs.
Bien hecho, as always, but lots of extras this time. Thanks.

Thanks for the recap Jardinera. I am trying to catch up on the recaps so I can chat and commiserate with you all about Univision idiotic vision to put this novela on at midnight.
Is Renato's "concern" for Regina just brotherly or does he just not realize he should be with her not her ho sister?

Love your recaps, Jardinera. They just flow with ease and humor..."Mama is muy disturbed that somebody actually has a pair bigger than her hers now, yes, nookie nights and goosing get-togethers, Aimee is tackily trying to kiss Juan in the tack room" and many more...LOL
Aimee is soo in love with herself. It seemed she primped and peered at herself in the mirror for the entire day. Clemencia commenting why should Aimee be so tired since she hasn't done anything all day reminds me of what my husband says to me sometimes. He doesn't know that Caray, Caray is a full time occupation. Anyway, by the looks on their faces, the boyz (Juan and Ren) seem to be finding Regina a little more intriguing and dimensional.
Is Fifi a spy or secret agent for the FBI or into blackmail? Wonder why she is going thru the Fopster's (LOL) things?
Finally, that was some kiss Juan gave to the nun.

Jardinera can i say you are the best i just love and adore your recaps, thank you so much for making me LOL always on the weekends.
Best lines, Mama is muy disturbed that somebody has actually a bigger pair than hers now.
So Regi and Clem head down to the basement again to check thins out without her highnass.
Meanwhile our fourth little hooker, Rosenda, returns to the finca and goes to the kitchen.
The smell from the sh!t he's slinging here is so strong it's suffocating!
OMG you are too funny thanks once again amiga.

Hi, guys! I'm glad if it managed to lighten the day's load for you! I'm popping in and out in between housecleaning and getting ready for a teeny tiny b-day party for the daughter. 33 yrs. ago yesterday I had one heck of a belly-ache. Seems a universe away now.

Vario and Aribeth: thanks for the terrific photo links!

JudyB: What can I say? Sometimes I get carried away with the on-target thoughts around things others much more adept at original thinking than I come up with in describing the common place. I had to share them with you all because they just put the cherry on top for last night's episodio.

Karen: Welcome back, amiga! Hurry back after the boat-load of reading you'll probably be doing, provided your eyesight is still functioning properly. LOL! ITA
that Renato really has fallen in love with Regina and hasn't exactly realized it yet. His lust for Aimee is still too much for him to fight with himself over. Well, he picked his bed and made it, so now he can sleep in it a while longer.
========
GinCa: Thanks and glad you got a giggle or two from it!
I was totally blindsided by Fifi's snooping last night. She says she comes from a wealthy family so I wonder if there's a history with Foppy Feddie's family and hers.

Anon.1:59 PM --Thanks! I am always amazed that anyone else gets a laugh out of my schmaltz, so I appreciate the good wishes, amiga!

Jeri: Hurry back and give us a few more insights into the miserable human condition our characters continually suffer through. LOL!

I guess I can say I'm sleeping with EY 5 nights a week, since I put it on & 10 min later, I'm sleeping & he's still bellowing & vergüenzaing.
Thank you Jardinera, I don't even know where to begin, your recap was stellar and others have already noted the highlights, so I won't insert my own list—well, Fopster was pretty good. And it's always nice to know how to say moth-eaten. I knew something was wrong with the furniture, but couldn't tell exactly what. I actually managed to stay awake for this episode and realized how I have fallen for this day-glo, synthetic, bonbon of a show. Your recap is my weekend treat
Can we take a count of how many TNs feature an artisan workshop where the peasants can regain their dignity? It seems to be a very common plot point. I think it stems from a feeling of noblesse oblige in which the landed gentry can assuage their guilt for being so filthy rich. The girl usually gets involved and so wins points with the galan for her civic-minded virtue.
Oh, and Connie, I didn't get a chance to comment on your recap yesterday: it was fabulous and I cracked up over your asides about the men in your life.

I think Renato is in love with Regina and always has been but Aimee's milkshake brought the boys to the yard and he's going to soon realize he picked the wrong sister.

Thanks for a great recap, Jardinera! My fave line was "The smell from the sh!t he's slinging here is so strong it's suffocating." lol! The end quotes were very wisely selected as well. :)
Jardinera, another superb recap. What can I praise that someone else didn't already mention? I truly appreciate your devotion to the art of the snarky recap, since my body was already in bed during this broadcast.
Lady Xoc, you're right--the heroine usually has time to begin a local artisan workshop in so many TNs. It shows her nobility as well as reminding viewers to patronize their local artisan collective.

Okay. So the Fopster has himself a nice roll with Eloisa, and then he turns straight around and goes for another with Fifi? Is he trying to out-ho Don Ramrodo, here?
I was wondering why Fifi was pawing through his drawers myself - the ones in the desk, I mean, though I could question why she'd want to paw through the others, too. It's not like having a peek in the man's medicine cabinet just to see what he's got!
So, em... Has it not even occurred to Aimee that if she and I-Juan-Another-Round get down to business, that wimple is probably coming off? Does she think he'll fall for the idea that 'Regina' is so modest she can't bear to uncover her head in front of him regardless of what the rest of her clothes are doing, or is she hoping it'll turn into some kind of costumed fetish porn? "I've always wanted to do a nun! Leave it on!" (She probably thinks he'll either be so into it he won't care, or realize how much he missed her and won't care. -snort- She's gonna be in a real good position to get choked again, too.)

Haha rotfl! Good one. :)

MEGADITTO!. You are one talented writer, Jardinera and I join the others in thanking you profusely . Reading your recaps are one of the most fun parts of my day :)
I DO wish someone had connections to the POWERS THAT BE over in Univision land. This 12 am slot is INSANE. It has to go. I have a terrible problem of needing to see these shows live on the day of presentation and it is royallyy messing up my circadian rhythm.
Is this change of horario permanent? Does anyone know?
Renato is not looking as good as he was at the beginning of show...can't figure out why?Is it the hair. weight gain--what?

Thanks, Jardinera. I join those for whom your recaps are a delicious weekend treat. I've been so busy lately that I've had trouble finding time to read the recaps and watch the recording of CS. Does Univision know or care that they have toyed with our collective affections !!! I feel betrayed. This novela is heating up, and I am struggling to feel the heat because I have to record it and then find the time to watch it. [...Yesterday a trip to the outlets ...my annual birthday treat from Hub] As for that kiss in the cave. I kept hearing Katie Perry's lyrics in my head...''I kissed a girl, and I liked it''...''I kissed a nun, and I liked it.....BUT....'' Hmmm...Can't you usually recognize someone's kiss...especially someone you've been kissing for awhile ??? Juan planted a long, slow, soulful kiss on the None Nun , and I'll bet that on Monday's episode, he'll suddenly draw back in horror when he realizes that's no nun he's kissing...that's horny Aimee. Renato is starting to look suspicious. Is Rosenda going to end up with all of Aimee's bubbles, bangles, and beads ???? She is one conniving , cunning mujer. And what was Fifi looking for in Foppy's drawers ? Was she checking his credit rating ? Did Marlene ask her to investigate Foppy's assests ?

Mornin' all and thanks again for the terrific comments and response. Honestly, I don't know what's more schmaltzy, the recap or the actual script from Friday. If it weren't for Aimee's private masked ball with I-Really-Juan-a at the end of it, this would have been another boozer-snoozer.

Vario/La Paloma: I'm sleepin' with Juan myself, & had to watch online whatever I was lucky enough to miss the night before. Hubby records Friday nights especially for y'all, though, so I don't get to miss a single word or move before recapping. Je, Je!!!!

LadyXoc: AgnesNJ, yes. Have to admit "moth-eaten" was a new one on me, too, and most linguistically edifying. (Insert 1major eye-roll here.) LOL!
========
Connie: Since I was out of town, I didn't get to add a comment to your fire-storm of a recap for Thursday's episodio. You were merciless and I was ROTFLOL.
=====================
MadMarley/Cielo: Hey, think of it as a porno play (pre-porno flick) The Nun With a Nasty Habit, another version of the strip-tease. // Aimee thinks she'll get the last laugh with this, but I bet that just like Renato, Juan is falling for the sweet 'n sappy sister, too which means that she's just gotten herself into a very sticky situation. (Inserting "raspberries" here.)

Jardinera, I thought it was a really good episode! I loved the focus on Federico and his plot line getting something to do, for example. I'm interested in what Fulgencio is going to do, too. The twist with Juan kissing "Regina" was a nice bonus.
I'm still a little behind; weekend stuff. :-/ I am enjoying the comments and will listen to your excellent recap with my news articles...

Madlostcranky Bess/susanlynn: So, happy b-day, I think?
My solution to you , me, and all others who are going crazy from this "midnight madness" is to watch online with the link Ibarramedia gave us last week. I've been keeping the evening schedule by watching that at my usual timeslot, just in case I forget to record or don't have time to watch the DVR version. I miss 10-15% of the conversation, but the gist of it is there and it's better than nothing........

Jeri: Don't get me wrong, cuz I don't disagree that last night's had it's satisfying moments, but for whatever reason, I got bored with the excessive conversation, especially Aimee's whining, Leona's after-dinner search for compliments, Juan's repetitious woe is me & griping to Gabe about his need for venganza, and the umpteenth version of a strip-tease at the casino. I just must be in the mood for non-stop action or something. I want to get the Regina/Juan/Aimee triangle thing started for real!!
Jardinera, do you think it might have something to do with your switch to the online version; i.e., less to do during the ep, without captions. Just curious.
"off with the wimple" I say. The less I see of that preposterous costume the better.
I'm miserable over the time change, because my TV set is down in the basement with the rowing machine and 9'oclock is my time to do both. It's very refreshing. The TN takes the curse off an hour of boring exercise and the exercise helps smooth over any major beanie adjustments and ¿QtH? moments. Midnight is not ideal!
And furthermore, this CS team of recappers: Jody, Gloria, 5-ft Kat, Cheryl, Connie, Jardinera, is far and away the best (IMHO) since Melinama (single-handedly, mind you) set the bar back in '07.

I agree, they're great, and don't forget add Jeri to the list. :-)

Jardinera:
"How long till you are a bonifide lawyer? Will you practice international law?"
Only a few more exams next month and I'll be free. At last.
As for international law - no way. :-) In the first months every second young freshman was enthusiastic about it and wanted to become an international lawyer - "Oh, that must be COOL!" Yep... After four semesters of studying of the United Nations and its functioning, the treaties, space, humanitarian and international civil law, and another four semesters of the European Union and its zillion policies most of us got fed up with it. :-)
Administrative and environmental law are my favourites, I wrote my dissertation about global warming, and I'm very interested in copyrights as well. But to be honest, I'm not a die hard law fan anymore. My university (which is supposedly the best law school of the country) and the whole higher educational system became crappy in the last decade.

Lady Xoc, I always rode my exercise bike during the telenovela, too. I'm doing the similar thing as Jardinera by just taking my iPod upstairs and watching it that way at the regular time. That hour was just the right fit, and I'm happier watching it then.
Jeri: Yes, you've got a point. I do have to listen harder without captions, so it seems those conversations don't fly by as quickly! LOL! That's when I seem to have less respect for the writing. Also, I do realize that for those who come late to "the party" the filler scenes of memories of the characters are necessary, but they slow down the plot soooooo much I just want to scream ¡BASTA!

Aribeth: Interesting and wise choices, IMHO. Let us know when graduation day comes and we'll share a communal online toast of the best tequila. We telenovela afficionados didn't watch Destilando Amor for nothing, you know!

Great recap!
As to the locket that Rosenda took from Aimee...Isn't that the one that Renato had given to Regina and she wore all the time, until Aimee became engaged to Renato, and Regina gave it to Aimee as part of the "be good to Renato program"?
I am intrigued by Fifi looking through Federico's stuff. I hope she has an ulterior motive. Previously I thought that she just liked the scumbag but now I'm not so sure.
Surely Juan will not fall for the "I'm Santa Regina" ploy...
Renato is overly concerning himself with Regina and he seems like a guy who actually reflects from time to time. Regina is certainly obsessed with keeping Aimee in line.
By the way, did anyone ever discover the photos that Regina first developed in the dungeon and she tore into pieces and threw on the ground?

...and Jeri!! I knew i'd get in trouble if I listed people by name, but I just had to because everybody's style is so distinctive; I have no favorites but I look forward to each day's recap for it's unique personality.
Jardinera, thanks again for the recap. "...a bigger pair" LOL -- isn't it great seeing Renato show some.
Clemencia advises Aimee that it's always better to confront your difficulties, so I guess viewers can thank her for the idea to steal the habit and appear to Juan as Aimee.
Since Arcadio already braced her with the damning letter, Leonarda was able to be remarkably calm and reasonable when Regina found Constanza's chest. She hadn't known about the letter, but if someone besides Arcadio would have found it, Leonarda would have been up the creek. So once again she's indebted to Arcadio.
Rosenda's "Sheet turn-down service.." LOL, good one! She's probably still thinking the goody basket was from Rodrigo and didn't notice how dismissive he acted. "Don Ramrod..." I like it.
Aimee is really pressing Renato that Regina should leave the farm and return to the nunnery; Renato is indeed getting more suspicious, Mad Bess. He doesn't see what she's talking about, and she just keeps pouring it on.
Renato's defense of Regina is just making Aimee despise her sister more. It's war, and I think the habit-wearing is part of that. Aimee told Regina the other day in the cave that she was going to fight for what was hers.
Renato is going to fall in love finally with Regina, I think; he's like his dad, though -- loved blindly and unwisely at first. And regrets it later; even good guys have their shortcomings and failures, thank goodness.
In Britain, they called what Regina and her rich-lady ilk do (such as setting up the artisan venture) as "playing Lady Bountiful." It's a common malady of the class system, apparently.
Woo, it was nice to see Federico with his shirt off. I do like Lisandro Guardinos; I hope to see more of him, literally and figuratively.
I was a little surprised Fulgencio actually had Servando kill one of his men; seems like kind of a waste, unless the guy was a problem. Obviously, Fulgencio considered him useful at least as a physical threat. I wonder how Fulgencio knew where Federico keeps his cash; he must have bribed a servant or something.
Federico and Fifi are fun to watch together; Federico laughs unguarded and is truly delighted and comfortable with her. But I had a feeling like they cut out a scene or something when she started rifling through his furniture drawers. That was a little off the wall, but interesting nonetheless. I am curious how that will develop.
Fulgencio doesn't want Federico getting too well off; that's too bad. If Fulgencio is successful in robbing him and keeping him poor, Federico will have to keep pressuring Regina for marriage.
Oh, well; I was hoping Federico could distance himself from that. That's why they have that saying in Minnesota: "Do well, but not too well." But Servando and Fulgencio didn't succeed that night.
And now Servando knows that Fifi goes to Federico's house. I hope that doesn't mean problems for Fifi; gawd, she was terrified to tears, though. She shouldn't have to endure a knife at their throat. And one the "disgusting, signature kisses..." indeed. Fifi looked repulsed, not easy in her line of work.
Renato tells his dad his suspicions about Regina and Juan, and I hope Noel doesn't start believing them. I'm thinking they might have Noel see another shadow in the garden of Aimee in the habit when she returns from the caves.
Aimee is really stupid with the habit trick. If she wants to keep Juan, teaching him to enjoy kissing Regina wouldn't be the way. It could be habit forming. he he

Thanks Jardinera, wonderful as usual - makes for great weekend entertainment. Aribeth, my dream has always been to do some type of translation. Last year, I visited the United Nations in New York. That changed my mind completely. The tour director was trying to tell us about the great work they did. There was a special escalator for the important people! As I was born in South Africa, I have contempt for many of the dictators who enrich themselves and their relatives and have their millions saved in Swiss banks. I could not work in that environment.

Jeri/Anon.12:47PM: "If she wants to keep Juan, teaching him to enjoy kissing Regina wouldn't be the way. It could be habit forming." Exactly! Aimee's gambling with fate as well as faith here, and I think her real penance is about to begin! Can't wait!
==============
As for Feddie, IMHO he deserves to be Fully's "puppet on a string." He may be a fox, but foxy he's not. //That family ring of his may have been recognized somewhere along the line by Fifi. It's supposed to be worth a bundle for some reason, yet he never cashed in on it.
=========
Lynne: Nice to see you're still among us. Thought you'd be traveling again for some reason. OT - TM still hasn't posted Friday's El Clon video and all the comments on their site are clammoring for it. Me too! In fact, some are getting pretty nasty about the delay. I can't imagine what they're waiting for. Maybe the webtechs are on strike?

Teresita: Don't remember exactly about that darned locket. I thought Ren gave each of them a locket right before they left for Spain. I thought Aimee chucked hers once she got involved with Juan, but too much water's gone under that damn by now to remember.
LOL!

Jeri: "If Fulgencio is successful in robbing him and keeping him poor, Federico will have to keep pressuring Regina for marriage."
Yes, and Fed will have to keep up the pretense of wealth for Don Ramród particularly since I suspect the don will be having to keep up the same pretense before long. Pobre de Regi! she's the pawn in the middle whom they will both desperately maneuver because she's got a fortune of her own.

Lady Xoc, exactly. I'm mostly concerned that Federico do well to take the pressure off Regina. But that is a great point about Rodrigo, too.
In this episode, Gabriel brings it up to Juan about how Rodrigo will react when he is ruined -- so you are anticipating that, which is an interesting point.
Jardinera, I notice Federico's ring, but I don't remember any conversation about it; remind me, would you? And how did your daughter's birthday party go? Congratulations on 33 years of recovering from your stomach ache. ;-)

Jeri, it's purely speculation on my part, but I just can't imagine donRod allowing himself to lose face or look weak. We'll just have to see how it plays out. Too many people will know the truth for him to keep it up for long and there's also that weak ticker, so anything could happen. But I doubt they're going to write him out of the story this soon. There's a lotta venganza waiting to be wreaked on the likes of him.
LadyXoc/Jeri: Speaking of venganza, I am wondering if Regina won't be getting a little of her own in the long run.
I don't remember much about the ring except that in one of his soliloquies Feddie looked down at that ring and I thought mentioned it was all he had left of his family's fortuna.
Jeri - the party was nice. Of course I couldn't avoid making a birthday wish of my own for a couple of nietos. ; > )

I'm so far behind the pack in adding my compliments to Jardinera that there's nothing left to say but BRAVO!!!! Very VERY funny. Gracias!
The nun porn got me thinking about the subtle pornish sex angles that keep recurring in CS: high class/low class, old man/young girl, twins (need I say any more?), forbidden/hidden love in a cave/cellar/ship, mistaken/false identities...what fantasy haven't we had??
Case of the Mondays yet again. It's only 8:15 & the overseer is in overdrive. OMG.

Morning everyone. Loved the recap Jardinera. I finally had time this morning to watch the episode and only got half way through it at that. So many comments--so little time. I haven't seen the part where Fifi is rummaging through his drawers but it came to my mind that perhaps Juan asked Marlene to find out more info on Fed and Fifi is a double naught spy. But I'n not even sure anyone knows about Fifi and Fed.
Rosenda is more of a ho than the ho's.
Fed didn't look to pleased to have Fifi on the stage doing the weird little act.
More comments to read so be back later.

"what fantasy haven't we had"
S&M*, handcuffs & whips, leather dresses and high heels... I think Aimee would enjoy whipping her tied up hunky slaves. Oh yes, I can imagine the scene in the Finca catacombs:
Aimee: Bad boys! Very... very... bad... boysssss!
*smack*
Renato, Juan: Ayyyyyyyy!
Aimee: Quien soy yo?
R: Errrr... Mi esposa?
J: Oh, you're seriously mistaken, little boy, she's mi mujer!
R: You're an obsessed idiot.
J: That's the pot calling the kettle back, Mr. "If you leave me I'll strangle you, mi amor"!
R: Hahh! You're pathetic, and your hair extensions are ridiculous.
J: And you have false sideburns!
A: Shut up!
*smack*
R, J: Ayyyyyyy!
A: So, let's start this again. Quien soy yo?!
*smack*
R, J: Ayyyy! La duena!
A: That's it. Soy la duena. Gooood boys.**
* Though the relationships between Reni & Aimee/Regi & Reni/Juan & Aimee are quite masochistic.
** Sorry for the crossover, but the whip in the Soy tu duena entrada always make me smile. :-)

The mistery of the locked. Renato gave one to each of the sisters. The locked is the exact same one. Regina wore her all the time while she thought Renato was going to be hers. Aimee never did. Once they got back and Renato fell for Aimee she took hers off and told Aimee to wear hers because she was now Renatos Prometida. Aimee put it on and Renato saw her with and she told him she always wore it. I don’t understand what’s with Leo and Aimee giving away jewelry to the servants?
What's more -- these were given to Rosenda.
It's what made me think she was Rodrigo's illegitimate child. There does seem as though there could be some symbolism or significance.
Rosenda has been in love with Renato forever, and now she has a locket originally from him.
And Rosenda is involved with Rodrigo, and now she has a ring originally from him.
Thanks for the reminder, Sue.

Connie, your Thursday night recap was masterful. You were on fire - I laughed all the way through! Gracias for a wonderful read.
Jardinera, thank you for this wonderful, thoughtful recap. So many excellent phrases, most of which have already been noted. Witty and great fun.
Enjoyed everyone's comments.
I'm curious too - what on earth could Fifi have been searching for?
I suspect (and fervently hope) Juan rips the wimple (or "off with the wimple" as Agnes said)...When he kisses Regina, I want it to be because he knows it is her...
Aimee is proving hard for Juan to forget...

Jeri: "It's what made me think she was Rodrigo's illegitimate child." Me too, but—and it's a big but—this is a telenovela and incest is t-a-b-o-o! I don't believe they've ever crossed that line. Aribeth?
Lady Xoc: That's a good question.
First of all, I haven't seen Yo compro esa mujer for a long time, and I thought that Rodrigo was Ursula's (Rosenda's) father. But I'm not sure about it anymore. I own the Hungarian version of the telenovela, I'll rewatch it soon.
In La Otra the character of Alejandro Ávila (our "Pablo Doctorcito Miranda") slept with his own half-sister on purpose and he impregnated her. This was part of his revenge plan.
I think the Brazilian telenovelas are braver in this regard.
Here's a good topic on telenovela-world about this question:
http://foro.telenovela-world.com/n4/read-t.php?f=21&i=144807&t=144807
I can't recall more incest storylines in which parent/child or brother/sister had sex, but there are dozens of telenovelas in which the family members developed unhealthy affection towards each other. Especially the mothers loved their sons too much. For example in La cuna de lobos or Alborada (Daniela Romo and Luis Roberto Guzmán).

I started to watch Destilando amor a few weeks ago, and the character James falls in love with a troubled country girl. She definitely sleeps with her dad. Or is he her stepfather? Uncle? I dunno, I admit I usually fastforward their scenes.
Lady Xoc, yes, past tense. That's why I kept waiting to see if they were actually going to kiss. But then they did; so it would be the most offbeat plot line if she was.
The only thing I know of in the same magnitude was where the protagonist raped the protagonista and they still continued the story in "Leonela."
The original was made in 1983 (Venezuela), and a remake in 1997 (Peru) starred Marianna Levy.
I loved Marianna Levy, but the Leonela story (by Delia Fiallo) was very controversial.

"Pueblo Chico, Infierno Grande" doesn't count, because it was in fact a litany of perversion, and so was surreal. Quite an interesting novela, LOL.

Aribeth~~In Destilando Amor, James's girlfriend was living with her creepy uncle [her aunt's husband] who abused her. In Alborada, Luis posing as Hippolita's husband, slept with her at her mother-in-law's command because Hip's husband is ''incapacitado'' , and she becomes pregnant. When Melinama recapped this novela, she used to refer to Luis as ''The Mystery Boinker of Santa Rits.'' That remains one of my alltime favorite telenovela titles. I also loved her reference to Diego's ''swelling in the humid zones.'' CS is starting to bubble....so many interesting plotlines. I can't wait to see what happens.

Bess, thanks for the informations!
"The Mystery Boinker of Santa Rits."
LOL, LOL and LOL!
"CS is starting to bubble....so many interesting plotlines."
Yep, and it'll become more interesting. It's a shame that the story was unbearably slow in the first months, this is one of the main reasons of why the show lost so many viewers in both countries.

Excuse my typo...That should have been ''The Mystery Boinker of Santa RITA.'' I really must proofread my posts.
