Corazon Salvaje, Tuesday, July 13: Ep 102--All she Juants is Juan, get it through your thick skull already!
Juan sits in jail, remembering his conversation with Reggie at the clambake. Despite her hearfelt declaration of loyalty to him, he still thinks she's lying…no, wait, he has doubts, I think! Yay! He says she couldn't have been lying!
Regina remembers that she was sick in this very cabin, and Juan saved her. It's not a sad place for her, it's full of beautiful memories. Renato thinks she's lying and defending Juan, but he's sure she suffered. He disses Juan's upbringing and manners. He digs the new look, though, which she doesn't like him liking. He tries to get her to confess what a bad, bad man Juan has been. She just wants to be left alone. He asks again, if Juan is really her husband, if she slept with him. Regina admits they didn't, but she loves him anyway and belongs to him anyway. So there.
Juan declares to God that she's not a hideous lying cow like her sister! Yay! He's convinced she couldn't have lied! Keep the dream alive, Juan! We're counting on you!
Aimee lies to Leo that she was nauseous all night and can't go to the port with her. Leo gives up and says she'll go alone, but Aimee needs to stay there. Aimee coughs pitifully until Leo leaves. She struts around, thinking she's got her own plans now that Juan is back. Cow.
Santos goes running into Jacinta's hut, but she's not there. Pedro says they should be worried about Juan right now. Remi can't believe they're still going to put him on trail. None of them know where Regina is.
The hired captain annouces they're ready to leave and Reggie is so excited she looks like she'd get out and push if it got them there any faster. The guy gives Renato a cablegram, which he reads to Reggie. Now they both know that Juan is alive, that he's gotten to Veracruz, and that the Coast Guard captain is asking for Juan's actions in saving the ship to be taken into account. Reggie is thrilled. And then the ship starts moving and she gets even more excited. It sucks all the life out of Renato. But he says he won't lose her again, now that he's found her. Oh, shut up, Renato! We need the Greek Mariachi Chorus from Soy tu Dueña to wander in and just keep up a running "Que te callas" every time he comes on screen. Don't get me wrong, I luuuuuuurve Cristian de la Fuente, but I will jump up and down and cheer if someone kicks Renato overboard before they get to Veracruz. Te lo juro!
Doc Miranda says MdR fainted from her years of malnutrition. She needs rest. Jimena goes to town to see if Juan has arrived yet.
Salma and her fake family are all packed and ready to go. Mariela still looks doubtful. The grandparents are grateful to Raul for everything. He's sorry to see them go, but he hopes they'll see each other soon. Grandpa invites him to Puebla. Raul advises Salma to be good to her Mami after everything she's suffered. Mariela thanks Raul and then they all head for the front door.
Jimena runs down the beach and hears the Coast Guard captain talking about Juan. He tells her that Juan is prisoner when she asks, but that the crew are all free. Jimena hesitates and then goes running back the way she came.
Mariela is hesitating inRaul's house. Everyone else has left, except Raul. She touches her palm, presumably remembering Jimena, and then tearfully says they should leave.
Jimena sees the family leaving and gives Salma a dirty look. She calls to Mariela, but there's a drunk guy and a couple of soldiers in her way. She busts through and calls again, but they're gone. She realizes they believed everything Salma said.
The sheriff tells Leonarda they're out of options for keeping things quiet. He can't tie people's tongues or shut off their imaginations. Everybody knows what's going on and they're all on Juan's side. The captain says they ought to reward Juan instead of locking him up, and unfortunately, the public sees him as practically a saint. Juan himself has refused to speak other than at his trial. The sheriff says they can't avoid a trial now. He tried to stop Renato for this very reason, but Renato wouldn't be stopped. Leo asks to speak alone to Juan. The sheriff doesn't think she can bribe him, but Leo isn't convinced. He tries to warn her off, but she insists.
Jimena finds the crew, tells them Jacinta is at Doc Miranda's and insists they all come with her. She says a lot has been happening, Jacinta is fine, and she has life-changing news for Juan.
Regina is looking out the window. She gives Renato a hard time for coming in without knocking. He tells her they'll be in Veracruz tonight. She's happy, but Renato begs her to come back to the finca with him. We all know what the answer to that will be!
Jimena brings them all into Doc Miranda's office and says this is her surprise. Remigio says it's Arcadio's wife, but Pedro says it's a miracle…this isn't Arcadio's wife, of course not! He gets teary and finally tells the guys that this is Maria del Rosario! She's Juan's mother!
Noel remembers the scene between Salma and Branko when Branko said that she and Griselda were cheating that family out of money. What if the accusation is true? What if Salma really isn't Mariela's daughter? Noel goes to find Gabriel and talk it over with him.
Yes, she's really Juan's mother, and yes, she's really alive. Remigio says finally Juan will have some hope in his life. And maybe a little peace and happiness in his soul. MdR sleeps on.
Juan is going crazy being cooped up. He starts using a torch to bust himself out, but hears the guard coming to escort Leo. He hides behind the door with his improvised club, but unfortunately doesn't attack her. He does give her a scare, though. He asks what she wants.
Santos now realizes why Juan had those feelings for this woman. They all agree to go find Juan and tell him his Mami is alive. They see Clemencia on the way out and tell her that Juan is in jail. She came to see the doc and ask about Rosenda. Pedro brings her to see MdR. She looks a little confused, but realizes it's MdR. And she's aliiiiiiive! Clemencia tells them not to tell anyone about this! They'd be putting MdR's life in danger. If she's alive and everyone said she was dead, this is the evildoing of the Montes de Oca's! They'd do anything to kill her for realz if they hear that she's alive. Gabe agrees with her. Jimena points out she's in danger in the port. Jacinta wants to take care of her back at her hut. Clemencia agrees and says they'll take turns taking care of her and hide her away until they're sure she's not in any danger. Clemencia keeps crying over her and calling her "mi güerita."
Juan shoos Leonarda away, but she says she's there to ask him to be a gentleman during his trial. That it will hurt Renato, who was only a victim of Aimee. Leo reminds him that Renato drove them all nuts insisting on treating Juan fairly. Juan and Aimee betrayed Renato and now he's in danger of being exposed as having married a ho. Juan says that's what Renato gets for chasing him down and making him come home, so too bad! He tells Leo someone else can save Renato, because he's planning to tell the whole truth. Leo calls him "soberbio." Well, he says, I am a Montes de Loca! Leo says he's cursed because MdR gave herself to his father. He threatens to choke her to death with his chains. She tells him to go for it. She'll do anything to save her precious Renato. He tells her to beg.
The carriage with Mariela, et al, drives down the road. Mariela says she can't do it. She can't explain it, but there's something…. Some powerful force telling her to go back. She starts crying and it freaks her parents out, but Salma shakes her head "no."
Juan backs off and says he won't fall into her trap. On the day of the trial he'll tell the whole truth and the family will be a laughingstock. Leo tries to threaten him. He says he's living proof of how far she'll go. He accuses her of hating everyone because she was never happy. She can't handle the truth! If he decides to behave as a gentleman, it will be to save the one person who deserves it--Regina! He tells her to get out and take her money elsewhere. Leo gets let out by the guard.
Reggie refuses to go back to the finca. She wants to be near Juan. She begs him to take her to see Juan as soon as they get there.
Noel tells Gabriel he wants to talk to him. He's sure Gabe was right to suspect Salma of not being Mariela's daughter. He tells him that Branko accused Salma of deceiving the family to get money, but they don't have proof. Gabe tells Noel that Branko has left and they have no way of proving their suspicions. Noel is confident they'll find some kind of proof, but for now he thinks they shouldn't say anything.
Grandpa apologizes to Raul for their return. Mariela says she knows she seems crazy, but she was feeling lost again, like when Angela was first taken. Grandma says she's hurting Angela with her words and Mariela apologizes to Salma. Salma whines about being rejected. She says she never should have come there. She thought she'd finally found a home, but now she's without her gypsies or her family. Mariela tries to go after her, but Grandpa tells her to get a grip. Mariela can't deny the invisible force insisting to her that she's still waiting for the miracle. She can't explain it, but she knows she has to stay and wait. She apologizes to Raul, but he's ok with it. He says they can stay as long as they like. He backs her up on listening to her heart. Salma thought bubbles that she's got to get them out of there before she gets found out and loses everything.
Celia knocks on Aimee's door. Aimee is ready to go sneaking out. On the way, she asks Celia to get undressed and switch clothes with her. She gives her a tug on her braid to encourage her.
Fully meets up with Servando on the cliff. He says he likes this place and enjoys being there, because it's like his private cemetery. He tosses people who betray him off this cliff for the sharks to eat. Like he did Griselda.
Celia hates how Aimee's clothes don't let her breathe. Aimee hates the smell of Celia's clothes. She wants Celia to let herself be seen going to Rodrigo's house, but keep her face covered with the veil. Meanwhile, Aimee will make it look like Celia is a skank ho who likes to get it on with men in jail. Celia needs to let herself be seen around town, but not talk to anyone. Aimee calls to the coachman that "Celia" will be getting out now. Aimee gets out and starts walking.
Fully threatens Servando to see if he can find out who wants to kill him.
Aimee is freaked out by a rat at the prison. No, not her own reflection, an actual rat. A couple of soldiers stop her, but she claims to have the sheriff's permission to see Juan. She gives the guys some coins and they let her pass.
Reggie finally makes it to Veracruz.
Juan eats his dinner and thinks of Reggie. He has to see her! She couldn't have betrayed him! It wasn't her! He has to talk to her! A soldier calls to him and says a woman came to see him. He hopes it's Reggie, but he gets Aimee instead. She keeps enough of her face hidden for it to be ambiguous. Except we all know Reggie doesn't wear that much eye makeup.
Que te callas=shut up already, Renato
Te lo juro=I swear!
mi güerita=my little blonde girl
Soberbio=arrogant

Go, Juan, go! Get those two brain cells talking and keep it going!
Other excellent lines were: "We need the Greek Mariachi Chorus from Soy tu Dueña" and "He hides behind the door with his improvised club, but unfortunately doesn't attack her". Wouldn't that have been great if he did???
Wishing you the best in your weight loss. Also, how is Mr. 5 ft? We always enjoy his comments.
Of all the hideous crimes committed, I think what Leo did to MdR might be the worst. Leo robbed MdR of the love of her life, her son, and kept her as a prisoner suffering years of mental and physical abuse. Seeing her in bed, looking so small and fragile was unbearably sad. She seems so weak -am fervently hoping she will have a reunion and time together with Juan before she dies. Blech.
Now that Branko is gone, Salma isn't likely to give up her newfound, illegitimate fortune. Not sure how Noel will get any evidence either relating to the fact Salma isn't and Jimena is Mariela's daughter.
Aimee is totally deluded. Whatever does she think visiting Juan will accomplish? She just keeps digging herself in deeper and deeper.
Hope the trial doesn't drag out endlessly. We have heirs to legitimize, families to reunite and romances to sort out and savor.

I agree with you --- where is that greek mariachi chorus hiding? they would definitely be a fun addition to this novela.
Aimee is definitely acting more and more like a skank ho with every episode. Wonder what she's trying to do? get Juan to get her pregnant? if that doesn't work she can always use the 'fake miscarriage' to cover up for her 'fake pregnancy'. well, if it works in the english soaps why not here as well.
Of course, Ren is acting more and more like Rod with every episode. I would really like Reggie to get angry and tell Renato that if Juan dies, she will hate Ren for the rest of his life.
Jody :)
"Juan declares to God that she's not a hideous lying cow like her sister!" and "She struts around, thinking she's got her own plans now that Juan is back. Cow." made me laugh out loud! :)
Renato is making me S-I-C-K with his crap! I kept yelling "don't you touch her" at the screen every time he went near Regina; I will be cheering right along with you Kat if Renato gets booted off that ship! Ojala!
How many more times is Celia going to let Aimee yank on her braids like that? She should get a clue like the dressmaker at Fulgencio's and figure out how to extort Aimee in some way :)
I also like how Fully has cornered Servando up on that cliff; it sure looks like he'll be joining Griselda shortly, and good riddance!
I appreciate so much that Noel insists on having proof before making any accusations. Again, what an honorable man. He is an excellent notario, and so yummy!
Marisol
Diana - Your thoughts on Leo's crimes mirror mine exactly!! When I think of all that MdR has lost b/c of Leo's insane jealousy, it makes me very upset. Leo's actions toward MdR in this instance rival Carlota from EDNA. Since the doc said MdR was simply malnourished, I'm hoping she and Juan will have many happy years together and she'll see his children.
If Fully kills Servando, what pressure can be applied to Salma to tell the truth? If Branko hadn't left, he and Gabe could trick her in some way. Perhaps Grizzy's death might scare Salma straight (though I'm not holding my breathe there).
The Juan-Leo confrontation and the MdR-fishermen pals were my favourite scenes in this episode.
Summary:
link another cryfest
He asks again, if Juan is really her husband, if she slept with him. Regina admits they didn't, but she loves him anyway and belongs to him anyway.
Regina, honey. I know that you're a honest, decent girl, but you should learn how to lie. An example:
Renato: Did you sleep with your husband?
Good answer 1:
Regina: It's not your frakking business, and now get the hell out of my room before I, Regina del Diablo, the Coolest Nun of the Seven Seas kick your whiny, curious little arse!
*Renato runs away crying*
Good answer 2:
Regina: Oooooooh, yesssss, I did, and it was magnificent! Do you want to hear the details? Well, Juan's so passionate, and his body... Hey, where are you running now?
*Renato runs away crying*
Bad answer:
Regina: Errr, no, we didn't. Unfortunately he respects me *too* much.
Renato: LOL! You've been living on a ship together and nothing has happened? LAME! Is he gay or what? I smell annulation in the air!
*Renato walks away with a huge, irritating smile on his face*
May I please ask a favor for future recaps? If the recappers (or someone else) could please add the episode number of this TN to each of the recaps somewhere, this would be very helpful to those who can't stay awake until midnight, and can only sporadically check in via YouTube. Just a thought...
Gracias!

Aimee wants it to look AS IF she's a ho who likes to get it on with prisoners. AS IF, right.
I've been thinking that in order for Noel to be able to remarry, Leonarda might need to die. What do you all think? I'm open to suggestions about who kills her or what hideous accident might befall her.
"Going peacefully in her sleep" need not apply. Of course, attorney Noel could always just give himself a divorce.
I found this different sort of cover picture of Sebastián Zurita. He looks beautiful.
Also, he's supposed to be starring in a Spanish-language CGI production on the order of LOTR (so it's said), called "Ángel Caida" (Fallen Angel).
It's in post production now, but I can't find any other info about it. If someone knows something, please spill.
Apologies if I duplicated someone else's posts; I'm writing this offline.
I rarely get to sit in front of the comfy TV and watch the episodes of this anymore, unfortunately.
I'm looking forward to watching a show at a decent hour again.
I was really hoping Juan would play a good game of 'whack-a-mole' with Leo. Maybe he'll get his chance with Aimless. What can she possibly hope to achieve by going to see Juan? Does she think he won't say anything to Renato? All that perfume has affected her brain. That girl ain't right.
I loved it when Pedro recognized MdR. He was probably one of the last people to see her before she disappeared. I hope she recognizes him when she wakes up.
I think Servando may be on the verge of outing Fed and Eloisa. Of course Fulgencio will kill him anyway...
Maybe Renato and Regina will arrive at Juan's cell in time to see one of Aimee's performances. That would be good!
I can't believe Renato asked about that in the first place. What kind of a "gentleman" asks that??
He wants to annul the marriage, as he stated in a previous episode.
It's a little bit easier and maybe less humiliating than a divorce. If two people didn't/couldn't sleep together and therefore couldn't produce children, then their marriage was considered being "pointless".
In Amor real/Bodas de odio on the wedding night the angry Manuel/Alejandro slept with the rather unwilling Matilde/Magdalena in order to prelude the possibility of annulment.
(I wrote annulation in a previous comment of mine - sorry, I always confound the Spanish "anulación", the Hungarian "annuláció" and the English "annulment". :))
Diana
That's exactly what I was thinking! I am worried Aimee is going to pretend she is Regina and say or do something to provoke the already paranoid Juan into once again thinking Regina is lying to him and going back to Aimee- NOOOOOOOOO!!
Also, the many posters that have pointed out that with Servando dead there will be even less of a chance for Salma to be discovered- you are so right! I didn't even think of that- it appears he is the only gypsy left in the Puerto de Veracruz besides Jimena, correct? So who else knows something related to this secret??
I can't wait for tonight!
Marisol
Renato is a toad; there is no doubt about it. But somehow, someway, Regina will make sure she and Juan do the horizontal tussle in order to legitimize the marriage. Aimee is going to interfere until she can't do it anymore. Time for her to go. Actually, a joint burial of Aimee, Renato, Leo, Feddy, Fully, and Rod wouldn't be a bad idea. Writers, are you listening?
