Corazon Salvaje, Tuesday, August 17: Ep 126--Reunited, and it feels so good….

There's not a dry eye in the house as Jimena and Mariela are officially reunited as mother and daughter. Even Salma's getting a little misty-eyed.

At Casa Fully, he threatens Eloisa with the bloody knife as she screams "forgive me" through her gag. Fully gives her a shalow cut on the neck and un-gags her. She keeps begging forgiveness and admits she did plot to kill him, but, umm….it was all Fed's fault! Fully says if she really loved him, nothing would have convinced her to turn against him. She had it all, but now she's lost it. Eloisa swears she'll make it up to him. She'll be the bestest wife ever if he just forgives her!

At Captain Breton's office, Phillipe and Lulu confront Leonarda and Rod. Breton wanted a private hearing so that there won't be any further scandal. Rod says it's all a waste of time, since neither he nor Leo did anything. They begin with the accusation that Rod unfairly had Juan DD Sr. locked up. The old Aguacil says Rod had him accused of stealing the family jewels. Breton points out that it's his understanding that Rod did this to keep Juan from marrying Maria del Rosario. He lays into Rod and Leo for objecting to MdR and Juan getting married just because Juan was a fisherman. Despite the claims of the old Aguacil and his assistant, Rod insists that he only wanted Juan locked up, not tortured, and certainly not locked up for life. Oh, well, when you put it that way. *roll eyes*

Fully wants Eloisa to suffer a painful death. Eloisa offers eternal slavery. Fully will give her one more chance, because he "loves" her. She can only leave the house with him. Eloisa is so grateful, she agrees. Servando comes in and Fully gives the order to release Eloisa. She shivers with fear. Serves her right! Fully tells her to go take a nap and they'll talk later. Eloisa can't get gone fast enough. Servando shuts the door and asks if he thinks Eloisa has learned her lesson. Fully says only time will tell. He tells Servando to clean up Fed's blood, then leaves his study. Servando finally breathes.

Breton tells Rod to sit down. He asks the old Aguacil what the truth is. "Mr. Montes de Oca is the one who's lying. Don Rodrigo wanted him locked up and dead…and a painful death, too." It's a case of he said/he said. Breton has to tell Rod to sit down again. Rod did bribe an officer of the law, which is bad enough in itself. Breton has the secretary put that in the record.

Dr. Miranda now accuses them of killing his uncle. Leo says it's all too much, they're going to blame them for every death! Doc Miranda says the night his uncle died, they commited several crimes: leaving MdR for dead; abandoning JDD Jr. to his fate. He's sure his uncle tried to stop it and/or was coming to town to turn them in. He figures they did him in to keep that for happening. Rod says the old Aguacil investigated and found nothing to implicate him. The old Aguacil says there was no investigation and he always suspected Rod and Leo did it. Miranda asks if it isn't a crime to leave a newborn out to die. Leo says she was sending the kid to an orphanage, but the coachman, Celestino, left him out there and never told anyone. Breton now asks if Leo never realized that MdR wasn't dead. Leo says Arcadio told her that MdR was dead and she believed him. How could she have imagined that Arca kept her locked up at the finca? "Do you really think I could do something like that to my own sister?" Oh, lady, we're not even going to dignify that with an answer. "Who do you think I am?" Rod tells her to calm down.

Renato is looking for Reggie at her house, but she's not there. He has no intention of getting in the way of her and Juan. He just wants to apologize for kissing her by force. Clemencia is shocked that he dared. She tells him to leave Reggie alone. "You're acting just like Aimee! She always wanted what wasn't hers and look what happened to her!" Renato says he really does love Regina. Clem reminds him that Reggie doesn't love him back. She loves Juan and that's what counts. Renato claims he'll leave her alone when he's sure that Reggie doesn't love him anymore. He's convinced there's a part of her that still does and he won't rest until she realizes that he can make her happy. Pobre de Clemencia. You just can't argue with those Montes de Locas. Regina may be the only one who's never lost touch with reality.

The fishermen play around at catching Santos with their nets. They tell Juan that Regina was there looking for him, and she said she had a big surprise for him. Juan doesn't want to see her right now and says he'll stay and help them. He tells them that he got a letter from Aimee saying that Regina asked for an anulment. Pedro has just about had it with him. No, on second though, he has had it! Juan is whining that at first Regina thought he was "poca cosa". "Then you know what? You're absolutely right. If you think you're not good enough, then you're not. She needs someone who loves her, trusts her, supports her…and if you're not that guy, then you don't deserve her!" Pedro goes off, angry.

Gabe thanks his bro, Branko for getting Salma to tell the truth. Aw, shucks, it was nothing. And now he knows his love for Jimena was impossible, because she's not a gypsy. Gabe asks if blood is really the most important thing. Branko says no, love is more important, but he made an oath to his parents and he can't break it. So, what about Salma? Branko doesn't answer.

Salma apologizes to Jimena for making up crap and hurting her. She swears she's sorry and Branko made her understand that greed would drive her to "perdicion." Jimena wants to know why Salma did it. She says she thought she didn't have another way of getting Branko's attention. She tried to tell the truth once, but she was tempted by fake grandpa's wanting to make her his sole heir. Jimena says she did a lot of harm to Señora…"No, to MY MOTHER!" Salma can't be at peace unless Jimena forgives her. Jimena's lips say "te perdono" but her tone of voice says "pudrete en el infierno!" Salma asks for a hug and Jimena obliges. She tells Salma she forgives her for giving back her mother. Jimena remembers her mother singing the nursery rhyme to her. The grandparents come in and now they have no more doubt that Jimena is their granddaughter. Grandma taught the song to Mariela, and Mariela taught it to her. Grandpa joins in on the love-fest. Grandpa asks forgiveness, which Jimena gives much more convincingly than she did to Salma.

Branko says he and Salma need to get going. Grandpa tells Salma they don't hold anything against her. She says she's grateful for everything they did for her. They really made her feel like part of the family. Salma isn't sure if the gypsies will take her back. She looks to Branko. Grandma offers to take her to Puebla if she doesn't have anywhere else to go. Branko says Salma will come back with him and explain her bad behavior and how everyone has forgiven her. He doesn't think they'll reject her. He's been thinking, and he realizes she was influenced by Grizelda, who's disappeared. After seeing her repentance, he realizes she's a decent person and he could maybe learn to love her. She asks him to forgive her for all the stupid crap she pulled to try to get his attention. Dude, make an honest woman out of her and keep her out of trouble. Branko says when they get back to the camp, they'll get married. Salma is thrilled and finally gets to plant a big ol kiss on his scruffy face.

Eloisa looks in the mirror at her scratch and curses Fed for intending to betray her. She looks around her bedroom, paranoid, and says she has to be careful from now on. He might be intending to kill her after all and she'll need to escape as soon as possible.

Breton moves on to the next accusation of bribing the old Aguacil to capture and torture Juan del Diablo. Rod says he didn't know who Juan was and he only wanted Juan locked up for interrupting his daughter's wedding reception, as was proper. What happened after that wasn't his fault. The artist formerly known as the Aguacil says his orders were to apprehend and kill Juan. Rod says "Well, you didn't have any obligation to obey me." Breton is sick of hearing Rod's crap. He's tired of hearing about what respectable people they are.

Remigio tries to talk to Juan about how his fears will drive him to make dumbass mistakes. "Be careful and don't get carried away by your impulses." Juan finally says Pedro's right, but that letter is getting to him. He's afraid of losing Reggie, of course. He begs God for help. He tells Remi he promises he'll go tell Reggie how much he loves her, but they've all taken off. Santos, still stuck in the net ignores him. Juan walks off.

Breton now brings up Brigitte's murder. Lulu explains they had financial troubles at the casino and went to offer Rod a partnership, but she never returned. Rod says he never saw her and his staff can confirm that he was with Leo at the finca until late. Lulu demands they reopen the case. They're convinced Rod had something to do with her death. Leo is incensed that Rod's being accused of killing that slut. Breton tells her to quit making comments like that. Rod looks around at his accusers, but he has nothing more to say.

While the older generations have sherry, Gabe and Jimena suck face. He mentions getting married. Mariela is thrilled! Love shouldn't wait! Jimena wants to go thank the Virgen right away. Noel comes over and Mariela gives him the good news that Jimena is Angela. Mariela is shocked to hear that Gabe and Noel had suspicions. Noel hugs Mariela in congratulations and the grandparents realize something is up. Oh, I didn't mean that in a dirty way, but hey, Noel's still a fairly young guy.

Juan and Remi stand looking at the ocean. Remi tells him to go find Reggi already and find out what the surprise is. I thought we did this already? Juan says he's going. Again.

Breton asks Doc Miranda about the attempt on Rosenda's life. Rod says he had nothing to do with that slut. Miranda loses his temper and gets chastised by Breton. Breton says he's heard it all, and they're all dismissed, but they can't leave town. He'll be calling them back to hear his verdict. The guards take the old Aguacil and his buddy back to jail. Before leaving, Leo and Rod stop to give everyone dirty looks.

Renato finds Reggie in the woods and apologizes for kissing her. Reggie tells him to leave her alone. He refuses. Just as Juan rides up, Renato hugs her. Juan sees her and tells Renato to let her go. He grabs Reggie up on the back of his horse and tells Renato to leave his wife alone. How many times do we have to tell you, Renato?

Poca cosa=a small thing; not good enough
perdicion=perdition, ruin, hell
Te perdono=I forgive you
Pudrete en el infierno=rot in hell

Time for the final big drop, so we've got to climb slowly to the top of that last hill before we get there. And then...pie carts away!
 

Thanks Kat! This was great!

Honest. To. God. Renato is like skunk odor - he NEVER goes away. I think all the doctored cognac he drank fried his brain. Regina seriously needs to carry a taser. Juan - when you say you're going to go talk to Regina why do you insist on talking to everyone else first(including the dead)! Take a hint man, when people start throwing their hands in the air and leaving it means you've worn out your welcome. And if you'd go be with your wife she wouldn't need that taser...

Leo says it's all too much, they're going to blame them for every death! No lady. Just the ones you're responsible for. Hey wait, that is every death mentioned and some the Captain doesn't even know about... yet.

Yep. Those pie carts are almost at the top...
 

Kat, great song, great title. Your recap was wonderful, well detailed and had me smiling from beginning to end.

I enjoyed your insightful "Regina may be the only one who's never lost touch with reality". Very true. Some of my other favorite lines include: Jimena's lips say "te perdono" but her tone of voice says "pudrete en el infierno!" and "The artist formerly known as the Aguacil".

It's difficult to determine who is being the biggest ass right now: Renato or Juan. Renato needs to realize not only is she just not into you but she's in love with her husband and Juan needs to get his act together and trust his wife who's never given him cause not to trust her.

Eloisa is going to live a life of fear and terror. Is Fully purposely trying to drive her mad?

Captain Breton knows Rod and Leo are guilty but as in real life, pitting a criminal's word against an "upstanding" citizen without hard evidence is difficult.

xint, I laughed at "Renato is like skunk odor - he NEVER goes away". Excellent.

Where's Arcadio???

Diana
 

Woo Hoo! Thank you so much, Kat. You are always so awesome. Excellent title; this scene was purely fantastic.

FOR EY FANS:

I've seen a post saying that LA VERDAD OCULTA will start playing in our time slot immediately after CS finishes.

This is the show that marked EY's return to telenovelas -- and the one that people loved him in so much that they gave him the best actor award that year.

So, if this news is true, there will be more EY! :-D
 

I can always tell it's Tuesday when Kat starts pulling out the vocabulary! I may need to remember 'pudrete en el infierno'. Never know when something like that's going to come in handy.

So Salma's redeemed and she's getting Branko? I, for one, am terribly jealous and would like her to trip over a flight of stairs at her earliest convenience.

I'm just sayin'.

Jimena's display of emotion at finding her mom was evey bit as believeable as Aimee's last wild ride (which I mean as a sincere compliment, of course). When she started crying, "Mama, Mama!" I absolutely lost it.

Good to see some real accusations finally being laid on Rod and Leo. Wonder how the Capitan's going to come to a conviction, though, when so much of it is speculation and heresay?

I was pleased to see that Regina was already reaching for a hand up to the horse when Juan got there, too. If only he'd managed to catch sight of her shoving Renato around for it. Oh well. If we didn't have two more weeks of stupid, what would we do? Be happy? Obviously, we can't have that.

By the way (and hopefully this won't count as a spoiler itself, since I'm not giving any details!) - I don't know what's going on with Univision and previews these days, but some of us that are watching elsewhere have started getting them again, and I am WRIGGLING WITH ANTICIPATORY GLEE. (Seriously, last night's was full of said spoilers, so don't go looking it up unless you want that! But there is fun ahoy kids.)
 

Thanks, Kat. Lots pf loose ends are getting tied up. Will Rosenda or Arcadio appear on the scene to finally drop those matching anvils on Leo and Rod ? Will Clem testify to what she knows ? Jeri~~Thanks for the heads up about Occulta. I didn't realize that it was EY's return to novelas. When I first saw him in Destilando, he looked familiar to me. I had seen him in American movies and an episode of Dr. Quinn. I'll have to record the midnight show since the fall semester starts next week , and I'll be getting up early again.
 

Oh Jeri. Just when I thought I would be able to start getting more than 4 hours of sleep a night, you tell us EY is coming back and in a telenova I've not yet seen.

Which will be harder: to watch or not to watch? :)

Diana
 

bess and diana, LVO was too HOT for prime time, which is probably why they decided to put it on at the Cinemax After Dark hour.

Otherwise, it would have been shown before Destilando Amor, as it was made in 2007, and DA was made in 2008.

(Diana or anyone -- if you need downloads, we can find you some.)
 

Kat, thanks for recap! Renato is absolutely loco, wish he would just look at what Rodrigo's obsession with MDR and the ruined lives that resulted from it. Even if Leo blames Arcadia for the kidnapping and imprisonment of MDR, how does she explain the fake funeral ceremony? Wouldn't she of noticed that MDR was not in the casket? I wished Rosario would remember what had happened to her so Leo and Rodrigo could be charged with her assault. I hope Juan doesn't go off on Regina for what he thought he saw. Hopefully she can tell him the good news of her pregnancy. Jeri, so good to hear that EY will be back on in La Verdad Oculta. Just wished it was on primetime instead of graveyard shift. Maybe if enough people watch the show it will get moved to either 8 or 9 P.M. when the other novelas end?
 

P.S. In a way, maybe we can thank CS's time-slot move for this. I think it must have done well in the midnight slot, and they decided LVO would work there. They'd probably been trying to find a place for it...
 

terrylee, some people have said it has a soft-porn reputation. I don't know if Univision can play it in prime time.
 

Thanks for your recap Kat. I loved your read of Jimena's apology (and thanks for the vocab).

So glad Jimena/Mariela know the truth. MMGrey - I was getting misty during their scene but the Mama, Mama made me loss it.

I'm with those of you want Arcadio to return. Rod and Leo will be quaking in their shoes when he does.

Ren remains an idiot. Since he's acting like the dumb part of the family, I don't think he'll survive the TN unless he changes.

Thanks for your recap also Sue.
 

Thank you Kat. I just love reading your take on things. Hope your ankle is better.

Loved watching the reunion of Mariela and Jimena again. They were so wonderful together. I just knew Salma would end up with Branko after this but at least she does love him and hopefully has learned her lesson. She did seem genuinely sorry.

Absolutely loved how Juan swept Regina up on that horse at the end and rode off away from Renato. I have big hopes that Juan will not go off the deep end again and trust and listen to Regina this time.

I just know Arcadio is going to come back and put the nail in the coffin, so to speak, at the trail or lack there of. He will be the witness that puts old Leo and Rod away for good. Can't wait.

If Eloisa tries to escape old Fully might just kill her, but he deserves to die as much as she does. He has actually killed people. I think she has only plotted to kill someone. Doesn't make her any better but both of them need a pie cart.
 

I meant to say trial not trail.
 

Thank you for the great recap and the vocabulary, Kat! :)

***

I'm glad that Uni will finally broadcast LVO, even if in this awful timeslot. I detest the Larrosa telenovelas since Amigas y rivales and Las vías del amor, and didn't want to watch it, not even for the sake of EY. Then half a year ago I decided to give it a try, and I had to admit that... it was... well, you know... good. Surprisingly good. Interesting characters, good story, and yes, mucho sex and naked butts. :) It's a circus, and alas it wasn't very successful (though the critics liked it) but many people say that this is one of the best works of Larrosa.

If you need demonstration how hotttttttt it was:
link
The crazy cave scenes with Aimee look like a prudish Victorian romance book compared to the ones of LVO.
 

Aribeth: Thanks for the link. You're absolutely right - it is hot, hot, hot. EY looks quite a bit younger. Still handsome but I think he's improved with age. He just keeps getting better looking.

Diana
 

Thanks Kat for the recap. I was disappointed that there was no pie cart for Salma. She gets Branko and a welcome back to the gypsy camp. I guess she was sincere in her apology. LOL at Juan's friends getting quite tired of his constantly questioning Regina's love for him. Pedro is right. If Juan can't trust in Regina's love for him than he doesn't deserve her. With him coming upon Regina and Renato's in a subtle embrace again, he won't be in best of moods to hear Regina's pregnancy announcement. I thought for sure Fully would kill Eloisa. He just nicked her neck with the blade instead. It sounds as though he's got another plan in motion to test her loyalty. Leo and Rod's lies are catching up with them. Can't wait for that pie cart to get them finally. Looking forward to tonight's show.
 

Jeri, thanks for the heads up. Since Uni has given me insomnia with having to stay up late to watch CS, I'll definitely watch this too. I love me some EY.
 

Kat, thanks for another super recap. Lots of funny lines, including Jimena's forgiveness of Salma. I'm not sure Salma deserves Branko, but it's his choice. Hope things work out for them. If the length of their kiss is any indication, maybe so.

I loved the part of Jimena's and Mariela's reunion where they sing the song and put their fingers together. I've been so impressed with Angelique Boyer in this TN, look forward to seeing her again.

Fully had a great crazy eye going on last night. He has been impressive in his role. I think Phillipe should get a prize for taking a very small role and getting the most mileage from it.

Leo--"what kind of a woman do you think I am?" We all know, honey, we all know. Seems like she should end up locked up somewhere, totally deranged, rambling on about the MdO and the family honor.

Renato just won't give up, in spite of the most informed advice. (Thanks for trying, Clemencia.) What a thrill when Juan thunders in on his horse, dressed all in black, and sweeps up Regina, dressed all in black, and tells Ren to leave HIS WIFE alone. Now that's a romantic image and a great visual, left me cheering and happy.
The next midnight TN sounds tempting, but I think I'll have to vote for sleep instead. I saw Alejandra Barros in Mariana de la Noche, didn't realize she'd been in anything else. EY looked good.

I forgot to post the summary:
link

I pray to all the gods for a better timeslot, this TN deserves many viewers and recaps - many funny and informative recaps. Llena de amor at 7 pm has worse ratings than Mi pecado which wasn't successful either. Hmm, maybe?
I don't care about the whining about the sex scenes, LVO can't beat the steaminess of Pornilegio, and Sorti was a primetime telenovela on Uni. It had low ratings in Mexico (23,2), but again, Pasión (19,8) and Mundo de fieras (20,2) sucked harder but they were broadcasted at 9 pm. Plus it's a Larrosa production, and right now Master Emilio and his circonovelas are quite popular in the US.

But as far as I know Uni hasn't promoted LVO yet. Maybe this means that they won't show it either at midnight or at another timeslot, and my whole campaigne speech is pointless. :))

Diana:
Still handsome but I think he's improved with age. He just keeps getting better looking.

In my opinion EY's best phase was between 2003 and 2007. By that time he had finally lost the baby face that he had had in the '80s and '90s and he was in very good shape (that. body. wow.). He's still charming and I like him in CS, but in one scene he's gorgeous and boyish, in another he's crumpled and puffy.
 

Kat, thank you for this recap, it was great as usual.

The anvils should start to fall at a steady pace from now on. There are still a lot of really bad guys that need to meet their maker.

I loved when Juan swooped Regina up and they rode off - I just wish they would ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after. But we have a few more days before that can happen.

Rosemary
 

Jeri, that's good news! Hopefully they will show LVO. I don't know what I will watch once CS is over. I've tried watching STuD, but I just can't get into it. There is NO chemistry between Lucero and FC at all. And the rest of the female cast is like watching "Plastic Surgery Nightmares". Not even FC's abs can make up for that.

If they don't show LVO I may watch Passion on YouTube. I never did see the first few months.

Are there any type of story recaps or synopsis for LVO?
 

Aribeth~~YOWSA. Thanks for that sizzzzzling link. Wow. You sold me. EY looks yummy delicious. If they show LVO at midnight, I will either watch it or record it.
 

Being a fan of EY if it is shown I may watch it. Not sure what I'm going to watch once CS is over. I want to finish HQDNS, but after that only be watching 1 TN. If LVO is on at midnight I may get it at 9:00 like I do CS, I get Univision both in Portland and an east coast version, which is the one that has CS at 9:00. Thanks for the info.

And thanks Kat for the recap - not really time to comment today!
 

Thank you for the recap. I love EY novelas I hope he does come back I would watch that novela cause he is so hot.
