Llena de Amor #37 Tue 9/28/10 More mama drama, but who cares? Oliver and Gretel finally make contact!
From yesterday: Netty’s doing laundry, but it’s not the clothes Gladiola wants to come clean. Netty says she’s going to look for acting work again because she needs the money, and the promise she made to San Antonio years ago to not act is null and void because she didn’t get the miracle she asked for. Gladiola needles her about the subject of the ungranted plea, but this is unnecessary because she knows what it’s all about: Netty is in love with Emiliano. Netty fans herself furiously. Baby Cristian looks on, taking in every bit of this gossip to reveal later at the most dramatic or strategically advantageous moment. Seriously, that kid looks like he doesn’t miss a thing. He should give Brandon some lessons.
Over at the police station, Brandon and Emanuel are tangling antlers once again. Emanuel demands to be let in to see his mother, Brandon says no. Brandon threatens to fight but Emanuel wins this round of King of the Mountain and pushes past him. All this bluster is most pointless, as Emiliano and Fedra the Felon walk out right then. Emanuel hugs his mom, and she is all pouty and rude.
Gladiola gleefully gloats. She has hit the mark! “Look how nervous and embarrassed you are, Netty!” Netty denies it and says that’s crazy. “Hee hee, you’re blushing, too!” Cristian agrees. Netty gets all worked up, raving that she could never be in love with a man who is already owned by a witch, especially one who has brought such pain and suffering into her life. Gladiola grins, unfooled.
Oliver and Marianela hustle across the lawn at the Viper Pit, worrying about Brandon finding out they were there. Mari notices that the menfolks’ cars are not there. Axel and Gretel come outside and Mari asks why he has a suitcase and Axel says his father threw him out.
Emanuel tells his mommy those big bad meanies will never take her away from the house again. “We will see about that,” says Brandon. The lawyer officiously announces that if she is arrested again they will demand that she be interrogated by another officer. I’m sure Brandon is really disappointed by that. Fedra wants to see Bernardo before they go, so she flounces off, still in her marabou robe and slippers. Emiliano then tries to demand that ol’ Spiderus be released ASAP, but Brandon says they’ll look into his alibi, and if it doesn’t check out he will be in the hoosegow a good long while.
Axel has briefed Marianela and she wonders why that Lorena would do such an obnoxious thing. Axel says he’ll talk to her about it later; he wants to scram before his parents come home. He leaves and Gretel says she’s going to miss him so much. He is her only support. Mari assures her that she will still have Axel, and she can count on Mari, too. Marianela asks Gretel how she is and tells her Oliver said she had a spell. Gretel glares at Oliver (who has been standing there gazing at Gretel and looking like he might cry), but doesn’t really mind too much. Mari wants to go talk to Tio Máximo, and Oliver agrees that he’d love to wait out here with the lovely Gretel, in fact for his whole life would be fine, so take your time.
Bernardo and Fedra lean together in a dramatically black-painted room, whispering like the guilty parties they are. Bernie says he’s using Nereida as his alibi and claiming they were in the garden together, so Fedra’s in charge of making sure she gets the lie straight.
Nereida is dusting Marianela’s old bedroom. She wonders if Mari might have left some good chocolates behind and starts looking through the drawers. No candy, but Marianela’s somehow left her diary in the nightstand. The one that’s not really a diary but a shrine to Emanuel. Nereida has struck gold. Hilarious, hilarious gold.
Oliver sits next to Gretel on the front steps, grinning hopefully. She tells him to wait somewhere else because she wants to be alone. He thinks she should give him a chance. It’s such a beautiful spring day! They should enjoy the scenery and chat a bit like friends! Gretel tells him to talk to the plants. She starts to walk away but he stops her and says she’s more bitter than lime without salt. What happened to make her so bitter? She says she just doesn’t feel well. Oliver offers to make her feel better; maybe he could even get her to smile a little. She’s starting to weaken but tells him he’s a pain and she doesn’t need help. Lárgate! He says he can’t. Leaning in very very close, he says nothing could drag him away. She needs resuscitating, and what better method than mouth-to-mouth? He goes for it.
Kristel is inside, so engrossed in scanning Marie Claire magazine for the perfect outfit for prison visits that she must not have noticed Marianela passing through. Nereida gets her attention, though, with some smug prancing. Kristel is the smug prancer around here and she won’t have her role usurped. Nereida says she has Marianela’s diary, which could become Kristel’s for a price. Kristel takes off a bracelet and says it could buy food for a year. They make the swap and each seem delighted with their loot. Kristel runs upstairs to avoid Marianela. Mari admires Nereida’s bracelet. Nereida says it was a bargain (ganga).
Gretel is into the kiss, but ReGretel takes over and slaps Oliver. “How dare you kiss me?!” “I am super in love with you, sweetums!” he pants, clutching her once more. “Don’t you dare kiss me again,” she tempts him, leaning in so their faces are millimeters apart and edging toward him a little more with her lips. He tries to connect, but she pulls away again. A master of mixed messages, Gretel clings to Oliver and holds him close as she orders him to let her go, or she’ll yell! “Yell as much as you want! Tell everyone, because I will tell them I love you even more than mole de olla!” {Now that’s love.} He kisses her again, but she pushes him away faster this time and says she never wants to see him again. He doesn’t believe her. “I know you like me, mi chamón en almíbar!” “I don’t like you at all, you uppity jerk! I hate you!” Gretel runs inside, and Oliver grins from ear to ear and says, “You are not going to escape from me, venenito (little poison)!”
Benigno visits Netty. My recording goes spazzy for a bit but I think he tells her that Fedra’s playing dirty (chueca, twisted).
Marianela asks Delicia about the household goings-on. How did Axel get thrown out? Delicia says what she suspected was true. Mari doesn’t seem to remember, so Delicia reminds her in an oblique fashion: que se le cae la mano, sube las escaleritas al lado, brinca los charcos de puntitas. Mari looks more and more clueless. In other words, Delicia finally says, he is homosexual. Marianela is irate and cannot believe that his own parents threw him out. He’s never hurt anyone, while they have mistreated him horribly, and he must be feeling so alone. Delicia agrees he’s a great kid and didn’t deserve this.
Netty wonders what she can do about keeping Don Máximo’s money away from Fedra. Surely Fedra has better lawyers than Netty’s. {I suspect I’d make a better lawyer than Netty’s.} Benigno thinks they’re buying legal favor with a tajada (slice) of the jackpot. Fedra already had a psychiatrist come and declare Máximo loco, and so Emiliano will be left in charge of his money. Netty is irate that he’s part of the plot to take the inheritance from Mari and surrender it to Fedra’s greedy gullet.
Emanuel, Emiliano, and feathery Fedra trudge back into the house and settle in for some quality family bickering. Fedra says she won’t move until Spiderus is once again in her web. Emanuel says he went to talk to Marianela, which provokes the same old screechy lines. Emanuel wonders about Axel, ditto. Fedra bellows for Nereida and asks for news. Nereida says Axel came by. Emanuel is happy about that; the others not so much.
Netty is still mad. Máximo is perfectly sane! How could Emiliano agree that he isn’t? Benigno says Emil believes anything Fedra says. Netty wails that this has always been his weakness. Benigno thinks she’s taking it a bit personally, and she claims it’s just so disappointing when you believe a person is decent and it turns out to be a lie. {Probably even more disappointing when you’ve given up your profession for years and channeled all those dramatics into pining over that person.}
“I can’t BELIEVE that Axel dared to set one foot in this house!” growls Emiliano. “Not just one. Both of them!” Nereida chimes in helpfully. Emanuel thinks Bad Dad is being harsh. Emiliano says Axel betrayed them and doesn’t deserve to carry the family name. Fedra tells Emanuel he has to understand; Daddy’s orders are law. “What the hell?!” says Emanuel. He doesn’t understand at all. Nereida tells them Axel just got his clothes and left. “How can you two sleep, knowing you’ve ruined the life of one of your children?” Emanuel asks his parents. {Easy. More Sleepytime Soufflé, anyone?}
Begoña and Gladiola meet up outside the pensión. The creepy thug sits in his car and watches them go inside with the baby.
Lowrenzo meets in his office with some stuffed suit who is surprised that he’s willing to pay twice the value for some land. Low says he is going to construct a shopping center and he’s in a hurry. Clearly, the people must have their Gap and Starbucks and they will not wait. The guy says he’s in luck; the contrato de arrendamiento (rental agreement, lease) expires this month for the civil association currently occupying the space, and he won’t renew it. He’ll take care of everything to sell to Lowrenzo.
The guy leaves and the sketchy stalker calls to report that he knows where the lady and baby are living.
Over at the pensión, Begoña takes her baby upstairs for a nap, and Gladiola eagerly snatches up that most exciting of all page-turners, the Historia de México book.
Down in the foxhole, Tio Máximo tells Marianela he doesn’t like her living elsewhere. She says she didn’t have any peace in this house. He says a woman was murdered in the other house, so obviously she isn’t safe there either! He’s going to solve things by giving her all his money. She protests, but he insists that he gives the orders. Delicia comes down and frantically tells Mari that the evil overlords and Emanuel have returned.
Nereida doesn’t care to get involved, but Fedra reminds her how absolutely gracious and tolerant she has been, forgiving the laundry room fire and everything. Nereida carefully asserts that Fedra is absolutely a very good person. But Nereida does all her chores very well; isn’t that enough? Not hardly, says Fedra. You have to go to the police and tell them exactly what I tell you to say.
Begoña gives Netty several months’ rent. Netty says it’s too much and she knows Begoña needs it more. Begoña says she has a modeling job again now, and she knows Netty needs the money even more. Netty agrees to take one month of rent for now.
Marianela gets Delicia to help her sneak out unseen. This plan utterly fails when they stop in the kitchen for a goodbye, and Emanuel comes in, still mad about Axel. His mood swings 180 degrees and then kicks up a notch from there when he sees Marianela.
Fedra tells Nereida over and over that she MUST follow orders. Nereida wonders what this is all about and is shocked to find that she’s providing an alibi for the time some old lady was murdered. She starts wondering what that must mean, and Fedra shuts her down and tells her not to fuss her little neurons about it, just get down to the station and tell the story or she’s fired!
Down at the station, Brandon is sure Fedra wasn’t telling the whole truth. The comisario says Fedra and Spiderus are tightly allied, so it will be hard to get information out of either of them. With their history, they have a strong loyalty. “Loyalty, or complicity?” asks Brandon. He thinks it’s awfully coincidental that the three times Netty narrowly escaped being killed were right after she had arguments with Fedra about Marianela’s inheritance. Tejeda thinks the three attempts must have been by the same asesino. Brandon says he’s a bloodhound, and his nose tells him that Bernardo is the sicario (hired assassin) of Fedra Curiel.
Marianela says she’s just on her way out. “Yep, she’s just ahuecándole el ala (spreading her wings) and flying off,” says Delicia. “Nope, Delicia, you’re the one flying off. Buh-bye,” says Emanuel, ushering her out and closing the door behind her. Marianela says she heard Gretel had a breakdown and Axel was thrown out. What is going on here? “It’s all a disaster,” says Emanuel. Marianela wonders if she can help and says she wants to know all about all of them. “No, no, you don’t want to know anything about me,” Emanuel reminds her, using his best swatted-puppy say-it-ain’t-so expression.
Kristel reads Marianela’s illustrated ode to Emiliano. Aha, the street whale is in love with my brother! But, then what is she doing dating the guapo gorilla? “Ah, Marianela. With this, I’m going to destroy your life, my precious!”
Marianela tells Emanuel that she doesn’t have to come over to inquire as to his well-being, because she knows that he’s fine. {Mighty fine, according to that diary.} He says she doesn’t know anything. His life is chaos. “Well, it’ll be okay. Nothing I can do,” Mari says breezily. “Yes, there is something you can do,” he says. He misses her terribly and wishes she wasn’t so far away, especially with everything going on now that’s turning them into enemies. “We are not enemies,” she says. He tells her they kind of are, since Brandon arrested his mother for murder.
Fedra, still in red satin and marabou, is plying Nereida with gifts of designer clothes. “Each of those dresses is worth a year of your salary,” says Fedra. Not if they’re the ugly crap Fedra wears, they’re not, regardless of what she paid for them. Nereida loves them, though, and thinks she looks like a movie star. Fedra tells her to pick one. Then she gets annoyed when Nereida rejects one as “kinda vulgar.” Fedra tells her to keep all of them, just wear something nice and go provide Bernardo’s alibi.
Begoña might never get her baby back. Gladiola is reveling in her role as stand-in grandmother. Begoña goes to answer the door and is yanked outside by Lowly. He accuses her of trying to hide from him.
Marianela doesn’t want to get involved in all this scandal. Emanuel begs her to understand, this is his mother and this is all painful to him! “I do understand! I had a mother once, too, remember? And YOUR mother accused her of being a drunk swindler!” Emanuel says he knows his mother is horrible and difficult, but accusing her of killing someone is just too much! “Well, I hope you will never discover anything about your mother that will make you suffer,” says Mari. “Like what?” “Nothing. Never mind.” Marianela says she isn’t the one accusing anyone of murder, but she’s taken as much abuse as she is going to take from Fedra. She will defend herself, but she would never seek vengeance, much less enlist Brandon to do it for her! Emanuel hugs her and calls her “mi amor” and says whatever happens, he’ll be here waiting for her until she decides to return. He edges closer, his lips homing in on hers as her eyes widen.
After the break, Marianela jumps back at the last moment and runs away. “Emanuel! What the heck were you doing? You were about to kiss your cousin!” Emanuel says to himself, shocked.
Marianela runs across the yard and sits on a bench and tells herself he wasn’t really about to kiss her; she was just imagining things again. Kristel comes along and pretends they are the best of friends.
Lowrenzo and Begoña fight on the sidewalk. He says the game she’s playing is very risky, making friends with his wife and working in the agency. Well, she might have tricked him into giving her the job, but he’ll make sure she can’t volunteer at the orphanage! {Oooh, Lowrenzo, you show her!} Brandon drives up and does a terrible job of parking, like three feet from the curb. I guess you can do that when you’re the police. “What are you doing at my house?” Brandon asks Lowrenzo. “Your house? Oh, of course.”
Kristel claims she’s been super lonely since Marianela left. She also thinks Mari shouldn’t be skipping the beauty contest practices, since she needs them more than anyone. “I am not doing that stupid contest!” Kristel says that’s fine. Then she will tell Emanuel that Mari is in love with him. “Tell him whatever you want! I’m not into him! I have a novio and we’re very happy!” “Well, I have a little notebook that says you’ve got the hots for my brother! Maybe that will convince him!” Mari tries to make her give it back but obviously that doesn’t work. Kristel tells her she’d better do the beauty contest. She turns to leave and walks right into Oliver. “Is she bothering you?” he asks Marianela, arms all folded like a stern bodyguard. “It’s the only thing she knows how to do,” says Mari. Marianela turns the sprinklers on and soaks Kristel, which Oliver finds hysterical, especially when Kristel falls and slides all over the grass.
Gretel is up in her room, wondering why she can’t stop thinking about Oliver. She tells herself she never thought any man would ever kiss her, but she shouldn’t get excited, because love is not for her. She will never be happy with anyone.
Emanuel comes in and wonders why Gretel is crying. He tells her she deserves to be happy. She refuses to speak to him.
Lorenzo claims he just came to thank Brandon for not pressing charges against Ilitia. “Great. Now leave, and don’t come back,” Brandon says. Lowrenzo leaves. Brandon asks Begoña how she knows that guy, and she only admits to working with him at the agency. Brandon says he seems to destroy people’s lives for sport.
Evening. The Ruiz y de Teresa family members who haven’t been banished whine and dine. Fedra is excited about the hearing that will grant her the moolah the next day. She insults Gretel some more.
Marianela frets to Doris about the album that could fall into Emanuel’s hands. What should she do? Doris thinks she should do the contest. Not because of the diary, but to prove to those brats that she isn’t afraid.
Recording cuts off there.

Any guesses on the land Lorenzo is so eager to buy? Is he going to evict the orphanage? That's what I'm thinking.
GREAT recap! I was laughing out loud several times!
I wonder about the land Lorenzo is going to buy as well. I was worried that maybe it is Aunt Netty's pension, but that seems to be a weird location. (But hey, this is novela-land, so whatever.) The orphanage does make more sense.
I could not believe that Emanuel was actually going to kiss Mari (okay I guess I can believe it) but I can't believe that Mari ran off! After all her daydreaming that he's going to kiss her, when he finally tries to, she runs off? Oh well, this is novela-land! LOL.

A Julia recap and coffee, great way to start a morning. Heading off to work, but had to say what a great job you did. I'll get on later at work.
And I love love love Oliver!!
And I love love love Oliver!!
Great recap Julia!! Full of great dichos and humor...just the way I like it.
I won't be able to recap tonight's episode. Is there anyone who can pinch-hit for me? I'm willing to trade a day.
I never thought about the orphanage as Lorenzo's future purchase. That would definitely create a lot of conflict.
Kristel is insipid. Novela-land karma better get her at the end.

Good morning all. Julia, thank you for the superb and delightfully alliterative recap. I was thinking that Lowrenzo was probably going after the orphanage land, although I don't imagine that particular neighborhood would make the best shopping center location. I guess we'll find out soon.
Oliver and Gretel at last! Those two are just adorable.
Why on earth would Mari have left her diary at Hell House? Wouldn't she have taken it with her when she moved out? That doesn't make any sense at all.
Cathy, if you can do Thursday night's recap instead of tonight then I'll swap with you. Let me know.
Julia, thanks for the numerous guffaws and helping me start my day of right. You are a terrific recapper!

Oh, and thanks so much for the vocabulary words. They are great.
I was just thinking (about pork products as I often do), could Oliver have said "mi jamón en almíbar", that is to say "glazed ham"?

Thanks for the great vocab, Julia. There seem to be an infinite number of dichos for "gay". I remember there were a slew of them in Gancho, and you have a whole new set here. Amazing.
Julia- I loved all the dichos you managed to catch in this episode. Wonderful recap as usual.
I loved Gretel and Oliver's kisses and interaction. Come on Gretel! You're worthy of love. She couldn't even keep a straight face under the force of Oliver's adulation. It's got to be love.
I also loved, loved Mari in this episode. There's the backbone we knew was there. Setting Delicia straight about supporting Axel; telling Eman off; and turning on the sprinklers on Krestel. :) Go girl! And yeah, she should do the pageant and hold her head high. Why be so afraid of it? But it was really stupid to leave that Eman devotion book in that Pit of Vipers.

Horrid morning at work...need the comfort of my Caray site and a warm lunch...
Sylvia, I so agreed about the diary when I saw that last night. But then I remembered that Netty actually packed her up and if Mari wasn't the type to write it in every day, then she probably blanked out that she didn't have it.
I do love her stronger attitude and when she switched on those sprinklers, I was cheering "you go girl!!". I do believe our little girl is growing up... Woohoo.
Julia, a great idea on the land deal. That would be about the level our resident scumbag we love to hate would stoop to. And he's probably using Muneca's money to do the deal.
So Mari walks away from "the kiss" and Eman is thinking "agh-she's my cousin". I would say first, they are moving these two to get closer at a good clip which is good, but second, we need and will probably be seeing Eman soon finding out that he isn't Emi's son. Clears the way to move these two forward...and much more heartache, as we know every TN throws at their main squeezes.

Sylvia, you might be right about the glazed ham (if anyone ever called me a glazed ham, I'm not sure I'd take it as a compliment, but Oliver has special skills). I rewound a few times trying to hear but couldn't be really sure so I went by the captions.
And FINALLY we get some progress with Oliver and Gretel! Yay! He won't give up, so I'm fairly confident she'll cave soon. She did seem to enjoy his attentions.
Daisynjay, I hope your day is improving.

Julia, this was outstanding! Lots of funny observations and turns of phrase. I loved feathered Fedra, the foxhole, and the swatted-puppy look. Speaking of feathers, I’m so glad you used the word marabou. For the life of me I couldn’t think of it Monday night.
Also, looking up all those dichos for us – excellent!
I can’t do next Monday’s recap, but I could do Tuesday if you’d be willing to switch. Let me know!
Do police really let two people whose stories are being evaluated get together in a room all by themselves? It would give those people a chance to concoct an alibi, which is exactly what Fedra and Bernardo did.
I really appreciate your detailing Lorenzo’s land deal. I didn’t get it at all and didn’t want to replay to figure it out. Interesting idea today that it might be the orphanage. It makes sense, since he doesn’t want Begoña working there..

Sure, Maggie, I can switch with you next week.
No, I don't think any police who were on top of their game would let the suspects communicate. They'd probably also check out the alibi while they still had Fedra there. Interrogation 101 is basically seeing if independent stories agree, right?
So now Nereida will go and provide an alibi for Bernardo, but if the police have any brains at all they'll check out HER alibi. I'm guessing Delicia knows that Nereida was already in bed in the room they share when Bernardo came in with the mask. I wonder if the General's surveillance equipment records. Shouldn't he have tapes of the late-night comings and goings?

Thank you Julia for switching with me next week. I really appreciate it!
I hadn’t thought about somebody checking out Nereida’s alibi. Good thinking! Also, I was surprised that Nereida was reluctant to lie at first. She hardly seems the ethical type.

thanks Julia. It got quieter anyway. Just people on the west coast messing with my offices in the MW, and just general ineptitude to deal with. As one of my staff said " seems people took stupid pills today".
Julia, I loved this episode and your recap even more. I especially enjoyed your focus on Baby Cristian and his participation in the proceedings at the pension. Very cute.
My favorite scenes were:
Of course Gretel and Oliver. I really like them together. She is precious and he is so sweet and patient with her. The chemistry is palpable.
The scene between Nereida and Fedra. Their negotiation was hilarious. Fedra is awful, but she can be so funny. I think her best lines were her um hmms. She slays me and is just downright nasty-sexy.

I didn't hear from Cathy so I guess I'll do tomorrow's recap as scheduled. If we want to discuss tonight's episode we can piggy-back onto Julia's post.
Carlos, one of my favorite things about you (and there are many) is that you love to stick up for the bad girls.

Sylvia, I'll put up a skeleton recap for tonight's episode, so it will have its own discussion post.
Awesome! Thanks Julia.
Hey, I like your photo. Is it new or is it just that my laptop hasn't been loading?

Professora Julia, thanks again for including the Spanish vocab! Your recaps are muy entertaining, and I especially liked your quip about Fedra and her clan settling in for some quality family bickering!
