Llena de Amor #39 Thu 9/30/10 I love you but you're my cousin, I'm engaged to someone else, her dad is doing my mom, your aunt loves my dad, I'm confused.
I'm using my laptop and it's kind of a pain to put in accents and all that other stuff. It makes me crazy not to use correct punctuation but I'm lazier than crazy so there you have it.
Ricardo reminds us that he believes Eva’s helicopter accident was premeditated murder.
Tia Carlota yells at Emiliano and I have a sudden craving for waffles. She says she’ll clear everything up tonight with Marianela at dinner and raises her eyebrow in a threatening manner. Ruh roh.
Netty weeps that ever since Eva’s death it’s been one blow after another. Ricardo tells Mari and Netty he hasn’t given up and intends to continue the investigation. Call him for any reason. Mari cries to Netty that she has to know the truth.
Fedra gathers the staff and orders perfection for Tia Carlota. The meal must be superb, the room perfectly comfortable, and Benigno is to carry the suitcases up to porky’s old room. (Her words, not mine.)
Nereida hangs back for a short confab with her mistress, things went well at the police station. Thank goodness, gushes Fedra, if Bernardo hadn’t been released she would die! Bernardo/Spiderus enters and is rewarded by a big double-dip hug from Fedra. Nereida scowls and Spiderus gloats.
Gladiola’s kid Javier is playing ball in the street and the ball gets jammed on a ledge that is extremely suspicious according to the background music and the gawks of the kids.
The doll and the begonia visit the director of the orphanage. She tells them they barely have enough money to cover their expenses and she doesn’t know what will become of the kids if they have to close down. The doll says she doesn’t know how but she promises the kids are going to stay put.
Ilitia tells Flora about Agent O’s attempt to wipe sunless tanning lotion all over her body with his own, well not in those exact words. She had to fight the imbecile off! Flora tells her good job, in fact the same thing happened to her one time in a microbus. Ilitia is perturbed at Flora changing the subject to herself and she kicks the maid out, then begs her to come back becuase she needs her advice. Should she tell Kristel? The phone rings and guess who? Ilitia was just thinking of her sis-in-law. Kristel wants Ilitia to come over right away, she has huge news.
The boys climb a ladder to retrieve their ball and investigate the mysterious fabric. It’s a bag! What’s inside it? They’re millionnaires! It’s filled with money!
Mari cries to Doris about her fear that her mother was murdered. Christian the magnificent infant sympathy cries. They both wonder if Fedra Curiel is behind Eva’s death and the attempts on Netty’s life. Doris advises Mari to be very strong if she wants to win the battle against Fedra. You go girls...and baby.
Muneca and Begona watch the orphans play and decide they are BFFs.
The perpetually full moon rises over Mexico City.
Oliver gazes out the window and wonders how his little sour lemon candy is doing tonight. He knows he should get back to work but he can’t stop thinking of her. What to do what to do? He leaps up with an idea. He pulls out Axel’s arrest record and gleefully dials the phone. His little candy answers and makes a face like a sour lemon who just needs to be squeezed a bit.
Over at Hell House Kristel tells Ilitia that her news is an atomic bomb! It’s a pink bomb in the form of a diary. Ilitia is not amused to read that the love of Mari’s life is Emanuel. WHAT!? she yells in English.
Tia Carlota sits Fedra down and tells her that Mari must have her house. Fedra tells Tia she’s powerless (ha!), the law is the law and Eva owed her a lot of money. She has to think of her own children, she whines. Tia says she and Fedra are going to fix things right now. She’ll pay Eva’s debts but Fedra is to touch nothing of Marianela’s.
Predictably, Gretel snaps at Oliver and instructs him to never call her again. Then she promptly faints into a chair. Normally this would mean she’s pregnant, but since Gretel hasn’t boinked anyone that we know of it must have some other dire meaning.
It turns out that Tia is a bit of a blabbermouth. She tells Fedra she’ll loan the money to Mari because when she turns 21 and gets Luis-Felipe’s inheritence she’ll be able to buy 100 houses. It clearly takes all of Fedra’s will to not drool all over the table. Tia keeps it up, Mari’s fortune has been multiplying all these years blah blah blah. Just hand her head over on a platter why dontcha?
Fedra recovers from her greedgasm, sniffles pathetically, and says Tia doesn’t have to loan her the money. The only one who will sacrifice will be herself, she’s willing to wait until Mari collects LF’s money. Dang she’s good. She almost had me convinced...NOT. Tia smiles like a sap.
Eman sits on his bed and like everyone else in the house expresses his feelings out loud. In summary, “Poor Marianela.” But he’s got an ace up his sleeve, the Lirio de Plata, which he waves around instead of keeping locked up. I’ll be he does something stupid like leave it on the table.
Ilitia reads the diary out loud in the bitchiest manner possible. Kristel laughs it will be the perfect blackmail. Luckily Delicia overhears and demands they turn it over to her. Unluckily Fedra arrives and tosses Delicious out when Kristel pouts that this brown trash is bothering them.
Oliver explains to Brandon that Gretel’s rejection is just a wall she’s put up. Brandon makes some joke that I didn’t completely understand, that the girl is a VIP, viene i pide, comes and asks. Whatever, if Oliver plays with fire he’s going to get burned.
Gretel comes out of her faint, drops a glass on the floor, and announces to the three concerned maids that the only one who can make her feel better is Axel and he’s no longer in the house.
Speaking of which, Axel and his pal with moussed hair go nightclubbing. His friend tells him he’s taking him to a place where there are a lot of people like them and where he can feel free.
Brandon tells Netty, Mari et al that Spiderus is out of jail. They are about to erupt when Emiliano interrupts, he’s come to get Mari and he won’t take no for an answer. The next scene consists entirely of all of them saying no, but when Mari hears Tia C is in town she acquiesces.
Kristel and Agent O are sitting in the busiest spot in the house laughing over Mari’s diary. Of course Eman strolls by and asks what fun are the poking at Mari now? They hide the diary but he keeps pressing and tells them if they do anything to Mari they’ll pay dearly.
Javier tells Gladiola that Mama Dolores answered his prayers for money to help her out. He whips out the money bag and Gladi gasps gladly.
Team Netty pisses and moans about Fedra, Emi taking Mari and everything else that’s bugging them. Then they all stomp off in different directions except Doris who accuses Brandon of loving Mari.
Emanuel is suspicious of his mother’s motives. Tia enters the room and wants Fedra’s agreement on paper. Fedra feigns affront but Tia stands firm, make it legit.
Mari arrives and everyone is thrilled except Fedra who sniffles over her snifter. Oh wait, here comes Kristel clapping at the close clinch of her brother and cousin, “hooray the lovers” she chirps. “If they weren’t cousins they would be the perfect couple” she slyly lets slip.
Tia is annoyed and they all comment on Kristel’s bad taste. Kristel gloats and let’s just an inch of the diary peek out of her magazine for Mari’s eyes only.
Javier tells Gladi where he found the bag and she figures it’s the mafioso renter’s money. It’s dishonest and they cannot keep it.
Eman and Mari test the water by talking about each others’ novios. They try to find out how serious the other is without giving too much away.
Fedra proposes a toast but Tia points out the group is not complete. Where is Axel? (I was wondering when she would notice!)
He’s playing pool with his bud and thinking the place isn’t so bad afer all. Another guy with very moussed hair shows up and hands over a baggie of herbal substance so that Axel can let loose. Axel, not so happy about this.
Back at the house everyone beats around the bush except Mari and Gretel. Axel was kicked out onto the street. For some reason the family separates into small discussion groups.
Ilitia (with family) shows up and Eman looks annoyed and then licks his lips. Talk about a mixed message.
Over at the pool bar the police in full SWAT gear arrive for the inevitable bust. Oliver leads the barrage while the stupid mousse head shoves drugs in Axel’s pocket. Ay mierda and it’s up against the wall.
Tia, who clearly cannot see through manipulative women, is thrilled to meet Eman’s enchanting fiancee. Blech.
Gretel gripes to Mari that she doesn’t understand what her bro sees in that air-head. Kristel interrupts that they are super happy because Eman loves ‘em skinny. Mari mocks her fresa-speak and rolls her magnified eyes.
Mari interrupts a conversation between Emiliano and Lowrenzo to ask Emi for a job. Weird timing if you ask me. He hugs her and hires her on the spot.
Axel waits for the cops to get near and then he pulls the drugs from his pocket and throws them on the ground. Oliver is shocked, “You again Ruiz y Teresa?”.
Brandon tries to give Netty money, it’s for Mari's sake. Wow, what a coincidence, Gladi runs downstairs with her bag of dough (or wool as they say in Mexico) demanding that Brandon take it away. Javier’s not on board with this program but the big people pull rank.
Axel tries to tell Oliver the truth, that the drugs aren’t his. Oliver handcuffs Axel and advises him to call his lawyer. At least Oliver will have an excuse to see Gretel again. For the two seconds prior to her ripping his head off.
Mari helps Delicia in the kitchen by sampling the hors d’oeuvres. Delicia thinks Mari is loca for working for her uncle, Eman works there too and she’ll see him every day. Hurricane Ilitia storms in and blows Delicia out of the room. “How dare you be in love with my boyfriend?!”
I was waiting for this...tucked away in another room Lowrenzo’s got Fedra pressed up against a desk in a most compromising position. They swap venom and he gazes down her cleavage. He tells her she’s jealous but not to worry, he’s sleeping in the spare room. Blah blah blah how I hate them both. Suddenly he loudly states “You know perfectly well who the woman is that I want.”
Naturally Muneca bursts in and demands to know who that might be. Fedra is highly amused.
Manana: Mari gets to see a work hottie hit on Eman.

When I saw the title for this recap, I laughed out loud. It is classic. LOVED IT. I think I am enjoying watching this TN just so I can follow the recaps!
Maureen, thank you so much! Usually I have no problem with titles but tonight I really had to think about it. I asked myself "what would Emanual say"?
A lot of "setting up" happened in tonight's episode. Nothing much got resolved but many things were set in motion.

Masterful recap, Cap'n Sylvia. My favorite bits:
"Tia Carlota yells at Emiliano and I have a sudden craving for waffles." Odd how Emiliano inspires this, yes? Does he ever stick to his guns? How does he run a business?
"Agent O’s attempt to wipe sunless tanning lotion all over her body with his own." I don't know how Kristel hasn't gotten cancer from the radioactivity of his orange glow.
"His little candy answers and makes a face like a sour lemon who just needs to be squeezed a bit." Fortunately I think he's the right guy to make lemonade.
"They swap venom..." ugh, it's like some Halloween episode on Animal Planet. So gross.
Yeah, Emanuel's lip-licking when Ilitia walked in was strange. What is their constant are-they-or-aren't-they engaged game? It's getting annoying. Even they don't seem to know ever.
So what's Gretel's issue? Just emotional stress over talking with Oliver or cumulative effects of all the drugs they've been pumping into her for years?
We're probably supposed to feel bad for Marianela, but this whole diary thing is utterly her own fault. I mean, would you have left such an embarrassing item so unguarded in that house?

Hi Sylvia. Add me to the fan club for your title. Just absolutely love it!
And like Julia, savoured the "makes a face like a sour lemon that just needs to be squeezed a bit". Guess we're in for a looong and rocky courtship between Oliver and Gretel.
Always enjoy your vocabulary and "chirusa" especially. I've heard variations of it in Dinero as well and wasn't sure of the meaning.
TGIF everybody.

You never cease to amaze me Julia. That title was just the best...and so true! I just loved your " Tia Carlota yells at Emiliano and I have a sudden craving for waffles." And now so do I....Hmmmm.
I was getting frustrated with Tia..but she has no idea at this point she's dealing with a pathelogical liar and criminal in Fedra.Interesting to know Mari still has major bucks coming her way - but does the poor girl even know that? She's got a nice big target on her back now...hopefully Tia fills her in.
still trying to figure out why the big deal on finding the money - or will they get some type of reward for finding and that will help Mari with school - maybe the bills are traceable? confused on this one.
And why does Lowrenzo always have to sniff Fedra? Gees...they are nauseating enough to watch.
Judy, right back at you, TGIF!and to everyone else too. Get to visit my son at college tomorrow for a Parent's Day. Woohoo! Hope those dealing with the rains are making out ok.

Yes, TGIF! Whew, it's been a long week.
Julia, about the diary, too bad the toxic trio has their hands on it, but if they hadn't found it then maybe Tia Carlota would have since she will have Mari's room. That would have been even worse. But yeah, a very tiresom story line, yawn.
Daisy, oh my you are so right about the target on Mari's back. Hope you have a great weekend visiting your son.
Judy, I've heard the term chirusa igualada before so I finally decided to invest the time to look up what it really means. I couldn't think of a really good English equivalent. Those two words sum up a lot.

So many things to applaud about this recap, starting with the title. LOL. Brilliance! I am so looking forward to every day with a new recap! You guys are amazing.
Tia Carlotta showing up is a good thing, but it's a bad thing that she's fooled by Nedra.
I kept on hoping that Gretel or someone would snatch that darn diary out of Kristel's hand when she was taunting Mari with it in front of Tia Carlotta. Let's hope that someone just grabs it out of spite at some point. Would solve a lot of problems and put a fork in this tired storyline of the stupid pink diary! LOL.
I keep on hoping that Mari will see the light and go for Brandon, because he is a such a sweetie. But I know it is not to be. And yeah, I love Emanuel too, who is of course a chip off the old block and completely CLUELESS, just like his father. (But I cut Eman some slack because he's still into full denial mode about his "cousin.")

Sylvia, your recap is hilarious and your clever title not only is wonderfully appropriate for the episode, but effectively captures the spirit of telenovelas in general. Ever try to briefly describe a particular TN to a friend?
Fedra very nimbly handled Carlota. She is so good at what she does.
I was tempted to cheer when Muñeca walked in on Fedra and Low, but he'll take care of that without breaking a sweat, making Muñeca feel guilty in the process.
My favorite line:
"At least Oliver will have an excuse to see Gretel again. For the two seconds prior to her ripping his head off."
No doubt.

Sylvia – you hit it out of the park with this recap. I was laughing when I read the title, and kept it up all the way through. Waaay too many great lines to cite, but I do have to mention “greedgasm.” Awesome. And thank you for the terrific vocab too.
So is Tia Carlotta next on Fedra’s hit list?
So is Tia Carlotta next on Fedra’s hit list?
I want Muñeca to now cut off Lowrenzo's access to her money and tell him she needs it to buy the orphanage a new building.
So Lowrenzo and Mauricio turn out to be involved in a crime ring. I wonder if El Dandy and the guy who briefly lived at Netty's are part of the same group. Lowrenzo and the thugs mentioned there being some boss; I wonder who that is. Who would Lorenzo take orders from, and why would he get involved with this crowd in the first place? It doesn't seem like there's THAT much money involved.

mari,mari, please open a couple of buttons on those blouses and ditch the nceckerchiefs. A little bling wouldn't't hurt either. There's nothing wrong with a big girl looking as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside.Come on producers. Beautiful plus size clothes are sold worldwide.
Phillylady - Are you new, or is my memory old? Anyway, welcome!!
I'm guessing Marianela has those scarves on because the actress has a thick neck that has to be disguised. I mean, everyone else is running around sleeveless, so it must be warm weather..

I was thinking she was wearing those scarves and high collars to disguise the fact that she's actually slim and wearing a fat suit. I don't know how high up the suit goes but it wouldn't look right to have a skinny neck and prominent collarbones on a girl who's supposed to be heavy.
What Julia said...they have to hide the actresses' naturally skinny neck. Her fat suit is so awkward and unconvincing anyway. I remember a movie where Gyneth Paltrow played a heavy-weight and her fatsuit looked a lot more convincing. This one is clearly downmarket. A truly heavy actress could indeed be voluptuous and dress enticingly but a fat suit, particularly a poorly made one, necessitates coverup.
Maggie: I've been lurking here since Fuego en la Sangre and only comment once in blue moon.I and the other commentors usually think alike regarding the characters and plot, but they can type faster.
