Corazon Salvaje, Tuesday, June 29: Ep 92--No smoochies tonight.
Aimee comes to see Daddy Dearest in the office. He refuses to talk to her and says she's no longer his daughter. Aimee begs him to hear what actually happened. He agrees. Aimee says they never had a mother's guidance and grew up in a strict school where they never got to see the world. So when she met Juan, she felt trapped because he's very seductive. He snuck up on her like a snake. Rod asks why she never told him. Well, she didn't think things would turn out this way, but she's been a victim of Juan and his hate. Rodrigo can't disagree with her. That "canalla" wanted to destroy them, repeating his father's history--that man who took away the woman Rod loved! He dishonored Rod's "favorite" daughter…and now he's got his hands on Reggie. They need revenge. And Renato's the one to get it. He doesn't care what Leo thinks. Leo comes shrieking for Rod…"Are you happy now! Renato went after Juan del Diablo! If anything happens to him, I'll destroy you! This is all your fault, the two of you!" She refuses Aimee's attempt at consolation. Rod asks Aimee to leave them alone. Leo weeps piteously. Rod tells her to chill. He's always wanted what's best for her, that's why he came back to the finca. He offers to serve her a drink and then they can talk.
At the gypsy encampment, Griselda works on her Tarot skills. Branko wants to talk. He doesn't believe that she doesn't know where Jimena is. The sooner she fesses up, the better. Branko has a feeling she needs his protection, so Grizzy needs to hurry up and talk. She denies knowing anything. Branko grabs her and demands to know where she's hiding Jimena. Grizzy says she wishes she knew where that "rapazuela" was. Doesn't Branko realize Jime was her only family? And her sustenance? How's she gonna live now? Branko says Servando was right. Griselda only saw Jimena as a "talega de monedas." He doesn’t even believe that Jimena is really her neice. She probably just stole her from somewhere. Grizzy says she's offended and orders him out of her sight. Branko says he'll find Jimena "a como de lugar" and Grizzy better not have had anything to do with her disappearance. He leaves and Griselda calls him stupid and says of course Jimena's nothing of hers. She did steal her as a kid, but no one will ever know. Oh, except for Salma, who heard her talking to herself.
At the bar, Jimena serves drinks and fends off drunks. A guy in a hat asks the bartender how much for Jimena for a few hours. Matias takes the bag of money and tells Jimena to go to town with the man and buy some "viveres."
Mariela and her family pray to the Virgen to find Angela soon.
The guy leads Jimena into the woods and starts going the wrong way. He laughs at her for being so innocent as to think they're actually going to town. Doesn't she realize that her aunt sold her to Matias? He's her owner now, and he lent her to hat guy. She throws dirt in his face and runs away from him.
Gabe and Branko, both on horseback, meet up during their endless search for Jimena. They remark that they will put their differences aside until they find her. Branko proposes something "sagrado." Words are taken by the wind, but he proposes they gypsy swear--if they break it, they'll both have bad luck. Each guy cuts his wrist and they press them together. Branko says now they're blood brothers and no one can break their union. Gabe says he's cool with that, but what happens if she picks him? Branko says there's no way of knowing what hasn't happened, so they have to wait and see what fate decides. Gabe says they'll search separately; they can cover more ground that way.
Jimena cries in the woods. Grizzy, out for a walk, contemplating how to turn a profit as usual, thought bubbles that she could probably make a lot of money selling "Angela" back to her family. She hears Jimena crying. Jimena hears her and runs away. Griselda accuses her of having run away and demands she come back. Jimena keeps running. Good girl. Grizzy barely even tries to catch her.
Rod thinks it's silly for Leo to think something bad will happen to Renato. He's a big boy and she ought to trust him. It's not him; it's that she's afraid of what Juan del Diablo will do to him. Rod, with his usual hubris, says Renato's got the sheriff's men and Juan just has some hungry sailors--no problem! He offers to go to the sheriff immediately and get an update if it will put her mind at ease. Leo doesn't know what she'd do without him. Rod reminds her he agreed not to marry again, and now he'll make her another promise--that he'll love only her and never go looking for another woman. Yeah. Right.
Jacinta takes Maria del Rosario to town again. This time with a red "rebozo" to disguise her.
Rod says this promise is proof of the love he has for her. They kiss. Grossness. He goes off to see the sheriff and says he'll come back when he has news. Leo tells him in the middle of this tragedy, she's the happiest woman in the world. Sucker!
MdR picks up a watermelon in the market and starts eating it. Clemencia comes up and starts her shopping. She bumps into MdR and knocks her shawl off. They get a look at each other before Jacinta hustles MdR off. Clemencia thinks she knows her.
Rehearsals at the casino aren't going well. Madame is worried. Everybody gathers around. Madame is worried about Rosenda and what Rod will do now that he's got his money back.
At the café, Rod enjoys a coffee and restored social standing. He thought bubbles that the guys greeting him are hypocrites who deserve his "desprecio." The doctor finds him and says they need to talk about his attitude. "You've behaved like a coward!" Rod says he'll make him eat his words. Doc says he has every right to say it and demands that Rod do right by Rosenda. Rod says she's a slut who slept with everyone, including Arcadio. Doc warns him not to insult Rosenda again. Rod threatens him with "you don't know what I'm capable of" but Doc's got his number. He says not everyone can be bought and he's not scared of Rod. Also, there's some pending business between their two families. And when it comes to crime, there's no difference in social status. He wonders about the strange death of his uncle. But for now, he just wants Rod to do right by Rosenda or he'll rat him out to the town and they'll all find out what a bastard Rod is. Nah, I'm pretty sure they already got that memo.
Noel meets with the detective who's looking for Angela. He asks the guy to review everything he's found so far. Well, there were some other events that happened around the same time of her disappearance. There was a fire at a hospital where several children died. Also there was a circus in town…. They're interrupted by a knock on the door. It's Mariela and her parents. They're already anxious to hear that Angela's been found. Mariela wants Noel's opinion on whether Angela is alive. He asks them to give him more time. Mariela gets upset about how much time it's already been. Her parents calm her down.
Rod tells Leo what happened with Doc Miranda. Leo is shocked to hear that he's curious about the death of his uncle. She suggests they try to get rid of Rosenda again. And the doctor, if it's necessary. Rod says it's too bad Arcadio's not around anymore. Leo says she's heard that Servando will do anything for money, including killing without guilt.
Rod goes to interview Servando. He asks for a special favor, for which he'll be well paid.
Jimena makes it to one of the shacks on the beach. Maybe Jacinta's. She hears MdR muttering about the sea and hides behind a table that's way too small. They're all frightened to see each other. Jimena reminds her she's seen her before, with Gabriel. Jimena says she's looking for work. Jacinta "hires" her to watch over MdR in exchange for room and board. Jimena is grateful. Jacinta says she's got to go to work. Jimena sits MdR down. She calls her beautiful and asks if she can read her hand. Jimena sees a strong sailor. MdR says Juan de Dios said he'd come back to her. She says her son died after he was born. Jimena says her son isn't dead. He's alive and soon he'll come for her.
Renato, on the boat, thought bubbles about what a dumbass he was, not realizing Reggie was in love with him. He knows the medal was proof of her love for him. He assumes she must be suffering even now.
Doc Miranda and Rosenda take a walk. They both like spending time together. Servando comes up on a horse, riding straight for them, but Gabriel sees him and tries to intercept. He grabs the horse's reins, and then grabs the horse around the neck. Servando insists the horse got out of his control and he's grateful to Gabe for helping. He says he's got somewhere to be and rides off in the opposite direction. Doc Miranda is also grateful to Gabe. Gabe tells him to watch out for Servando. He doesn't think it was an accident. Rosenda is a little shook up, but otherwise fine. Servando curses Gabriel. He's disappointed he won't get paid now.
Noel paces the downstairs. He sees Celia on her way upstairs and stops her. He insists she must know the whole truth and asks her to tell him. "You know what I'm talking about! Please, I want to know the truth." Celia says everyone wants to know, but the only one who can tell him is Aimee. Noel says he doesn't think she told the whole truth to Renato, the truth he's guessing Celia is hiding now. He wants to know if Aimee has been honest with Renato. Celia says that she hasn't been. She's only lied and has never told him the truth. Just lies to save her self and "enlodar" her sister Regina.
Aimee sits in her room playing with her fan. She remembers what Clemencia told her about Reggie's letter. She can’t' understand how Juan can be friendly to her when he hated her so much. She fantasizes about Juan carrying Regina into his cabin on the boat in her wedding dress. Reggie laughs happily as Juan says he loves her like he's never loved any other woman, not even Aimee. Regina says she loves him too, with her whole heart. They play under her veil. He takes off her dress and says tonight will be unforgettable. Reggie tells him she loves him with her whole heart and soul. Aimee says it can't be true. It's not true! Because Juan will never find the same passion in her that she gave him. He'll never find other lips like hers. Regina isn't as much of a woman as she is and Juan must be mistreating her in revenge, because he hates her. Yes, he hates her as much as "you" do…"You, Aimee, you're the best! Don't forget it! The best." She adjusts her wig. Girl, I think you've got that thing on too tight! Delusional!

I don't think Aimless is the only mujer whose wig is too tight. Leo actually fell for Rod's line of crap??? What, did her brain fall out and slide under the rug? One minute she's screaming at Rod about her "poor hijo Renato" and the next minute she's giggling like a little girl. I don't think Juan's the only MdO who is bi-polar.
Renato has Reggie's medallion. If he tries to give it back to her I hope she drops it overboard ala Titanic. And she can drop him overboard right after it.
Somehow I don't think the scenes of Jimena bathing naked at the commercial break were quite appropriate following her escape from near rape... sheesh, doesn't anyone plan this stuff?
I will forgive Doctorcito and Rosenda for not hearing the horse galloping toward them, as they were deep in conversation. However - I won't forgive the writers for having Servando try to run them down with a horse. Horses will not run over anything if they can help it. It's part of their nature as a prey animal. They will jump, swerve, spin or stop before they will trample over something. Trampling is a last resort. Their instinct is to save their legs at all costs because well, the horse needs them to get away. Besides, how dumb is it to trample two people with one horse? I mean really...
My favorite lines were: "At the café, Rod enjoys a coffee and restored social standing and "Girl, I think you've got that thing on too tight! Delusional!". Simply great...
I agree that the fantasy was the best scene of the night. While not exactly a bodice ripper, it was warm and tender. Seeing Aimee seething in jealousy was an added plus.
Aimee doesn't seem aware that her husband and family have nothing but contempt for her. The little tolerance Rod and Leo have for her will vanish once it's discovered she's not pregant. She'd be wise to concentrate on what little future is available to her and act on it muy pronto.
Several pivotal events were Jimena and Clemencia running into MdR, and Salma overhearing that Gris abducted Jimena. Both point toward an eventual Juan and MdR reunion and corroboration of Jimena's past.
Is Renato actually in command of a ship or is he merely a passenger? What does he intend to do? Commandeer and board Juan's ship alone and fight an entire crew? Really?
xinteperuvian, I couldn't figure out if Servando was going to try and run down Rosenda and the good doctor or ride up and start throwing his knives. Thank you for your comments and explanation. It appears Servando's plot was ill conveived from the get go.

plus:
Yeah. Right.
pretty sure they got that memo
Renato thoughtbubbles about what a dumbass he was.
You only need a few words to make me laugh, Kat. Still wish I were in the next cubicle to you at the office. Of course, I would NEVER get any work done.
Thanks.
If Clemencia had given Renato the note before he saw the sheriff, it might have taken the wind out of his sails, so to speak.
But since he's got the wind up and all the plans made with the sheriff, now Renato has no choice but to cop a case of denial about the letter.
I think he just feels stupid about Regina; he seems to enjoy wallowing in it so much. But it wouldn't have done him any good if he had known how she felt. He still would not have been attracted to her, IMO.
He's got that fatal choice syndrome inherited from Noel. Hopefully, Noel will be able to break out of that soon; however, Mariela wasn't very intrigued with him last night.
Gawd, it is so easy for Aimee to play Rodrigo; I guess it's because they are so similar. Rodrigo wants to be played. Whatever is easiest.
Rodrigo has really promised Leonarda a lot now; I guess it's in direct proportion to how angry she was he let Renato go off into danger. But it sure worked. "Sucker," indeed!
Wow, Griselda didn't take Jimena very far from the camp to sell her; and now Salma knows the secret of Jimena's abduction.
With the scenes later with the investigator, I could see Salma spilling the beans to him as a last-ditch effort to get Jimena away from Branko.
Just when the investigator was going to clue Noel in about the circus-gypsy connection, they had the Villareals all burst into his office and start wailing. Oh, well; for another day.
If Jimena is a white girl, then Branko's main argument thrust would be in tatters. That's if Griselda doesn't ransom her back to the family first.
Mateo's bar patrons are woeful fighters if Jimena can best them; I liked the dirt thrown at the camera angle.
Interesting that Jimena saw in María del Rosario's future that she will meet Juan soon. That would be cool; maybe she can come visit him in jail as she did his father. :-(
I can't help thinking jail is in Juan's future again. It's too early for Juan and Regina to find untrammeled joy.
Whoa, now Rodrigo and Leonarda as planning to kill Dr. Pablo and Rosenda. The price of those two's survival is just too high.
Yeah, you'd think everybody "got that memo," by now. At least Pablo and Rosenda are warned, with Gabriel's timely rescue.
Now, what is Noel going to do with the information from Cecilia that Aimee is lying to Renato. Aimee's going to torture herself into complete insanity with her morbid fantasies.
Also thanks a lot for the vocabulary.
Yeah, this episode was interesting. I don't like the last scene (at first hated it), since I'd rather watch the development of the real relationship instead of a cheap fantasy of Aimee, but on the other hand it was fun to watch her jealousy and frustration. :)
And so many the pivotal things happened. Jime and MdR are safe now, the bromance of Gabe and Branko, the (little bit lame) attempt of assasination against Rosenda and Pablo, Renato continues being a jerk (in his defense: he truly believes that Reggie is in danger), Doctorcito continues being a hero, and so on. :)

Not much, but the rest of the week'll be better.
I have one question. Does Mariela know that Jimena is Angela? The recap says that Mariela was hoping they would find angela soon?
Diana
Aimee has very vivid daydreams. The vivid images are going to drag her over the edge.
I do wish that they would do something about MdR's hair.

Tuesday seems to have been a dud night with all the tns that I watched after pretty exciting Friday and Monday episodes. I channeled surfed through a lot of Dinero. I enjoyed the kisses in Aimee's fantasy even though they were pretty real for Aimee. She's not going to be getting any smoochies from anyone from now on. LOL.
Thanks again, Kat, for the funny recap which generates so many fun comments.

I see Aimee definitely got her share of the Montes de Loca loca. That house is like a big unravelling basket of knitting. Evil knitting. (I've also come to the conclusion that Renato's been playing the CS drinking game himself. Explains a lot, doesn't it?)
I'd be banging my head against the wall over everyone's lack of facial recognition skills if I didn't lack them so badly myself - I'm constantly having people come up to me that I haven't seen in years who recognize me instantly, and I have no idea who they are. None. Even after they tell me. So it's not implausible; there's just a whooole lot of it going around in Veracruz.
Jeri, you had the same reaction I did - "Boy, Gris sure didn't sell Jimena very far away, did she?" You'd think it'd be worth the extra trouble to get her well out of town and make sure she wouldn't find her way back (or be found; I was half expecting her to be in Juan and Reggie's next port of call). And I was so hoping she'd catch on about MdR and Juan, and then I remembered she probably didn't know him as J.D. Dios... Sigh.
Mad Bess, what say we string Fed up ourselves and play a game of pinata?
Baby steps, baby steps, but slow movement is better than no movement. Just when I think ol' Rod can't be any more of an a-hole than he already is, he goes a step further.
Rosemary, they did do something about MdR's hair--chopped it off! :) Sorry, that wasn't nice. A deep conditioner would help, but I'm betting she's stuck with that style until she's restored to her rightful place. Maybe Jimena will have a gypsy remedy she can use on it? Some facial treatment would be good as well.
La Paloma
I've also come to the conclusion that Renato's been playing the CS drinking game himself.
LOL!!!
