Eva Luna #16 Tue 11/23/10 B.S. and hiding in the closet looking like an idiot.
Eva Luna, episode 16. November 23, 2010.
We start with a rewind of Marcela trying to "delicately" extract info from Eva about Daniel and any other women. When that doesn't work, Marcela just asks point-blank—what's going on between you and Daniel? Eva hems and haws and doesn't say anything. Even when she tries, Marcela interrupts and warns Eva that Daniel is "private property" and no one messes with her family. She doesn't want Eva near Daniel ever again. She's quite threatening and Eva is freaked.

Daniel is having a heart-to-heart with Francisco the chauffeur. It boils down to this: He likes Eva, but after some of the stuff Leonardo told him, he's not sure he can trust her. He saw her on that cozy "date" with Leonardo, after all. Francisco advises that Daniel forget her. Woops, it's not so easy. Daniel looks down, sheepishly, as Francisco says, "Oh, it's too late. You're already in love with her!"
Eva returns to her room after being "warned" by Marcela and freaks out big time. Who knows? What do they know about her and Daniel?
Back to Daniel and Francisco. Daniel thinks he's not in love with Eva, but then Francisco asks him some questions about his "symptoms." Thinking about her a lot? Jealousy? Oh yeah, dude, you're in love, Francisco says. He advises that Daniel do something radical—talk to her. Wow, who would have come up with that genius plan? Daniel agrees that it's much better than some of the games he's been playing. Just get it out in the open and ask what's up between Eva and Leonardo.
Tony has given Alicia a ride to college. He slings some of his unique brand of smarmy B.S. in the parking lot and then Carlos comes walking up (this time with a cast on his arm—I guess he didn't need the sling for long). Alicia tells Carlos that she got accepted into the college, which leaves Carlos musing later, wondering how that happened, since he knows she got caught cheating on the entrance exam?
Eva's still in freakout mode in her room. Better leave now, before things get worse, she thinks. But she wants to leave without telling anyone. She's interrupted by Renata who tells her that Don Julio's asking for her.
Don Julio is standing up, with the help of his cane! (He's also wearing this rather tacky-looking silver shirt that looks like it's made with some sort of synthetic fabric that won't breathe. But I digress. . . ) He's thrilled. He tells Eva that she's the one that helped give him the strength to do this. Her sincerity, blah blah blah. He's really feeling great! Then Eva pulls the rug out from under him by telling him that she's going to leave tomorrow. The old guy's face falls.
Leonardo is hard at work in his office, playing Solitaire on his computer. (This isn't the first time I've noticed this. Funny little detail.) Marcela walks in, has some questions about some checks, and also asks him if he knows anything about Eva. Leo looks impactado.
Don Julio freaks out, no no, Eva can't go. He'll pay her more. She assures him that it's not the money, and she'll call him every day, it's not that she didn't like working for him. But her assurances don't help. He suspects Marcela is behind this.The Don Julio Freakout escalates. Escalates. Escalates. Just when you think he can't freak out any more, he does. Wow, the poor guy really was miserable before Eva came along. He ends up collapsing on the floor as Eva screams for Renata for help. (I would have called 911 by that time. Or just told him I was going to stay, but whatever.)
Back and forth editing of Don Julio Freakout and Marcela and Leonardo. Basically Marcela wants Leonardo to keep an eye on Daniel and Eva, and do anything (ANYTHING) to keep them apart. Do whatever you want to the girl, she says. Leonardo gives his best sleazy fishy eye look and says it'll be a pleasure.
The Doctor has come to see Don Julio, who is now sleeping in his bed. The doctor says Don Julio is okay, but his heart is weak and he needs a lot of rest. Renata and the Doctor leave the room, and Eva cries over the sleeping Don Julio and asks why can't she get out of this trap (at the house)?
Alicia sees the teacher (who caught her cheating) and tries to thank her, but the teacher looks scared and scoots away. Alicia is befuddled, but since she possesses no apparent curiosity, shrugs it off.
Carlos sees all of this and laments to himself, "Ah Alicia, I really like you. I can't let this criminal take you away from me."
Speaking of this criminal, Mob Boss guy tells Tony he's got an important job for him and he's going to meet an important person.
Next scene we're in the kitchen of the pension with Tony the Criminal smooching all over Alicia. She tells him about the weird behavior of the teacher. He blows it off as the teacher being rude. Non-curious Alicia accepts this. More smooching and passes from Tony, which Alicia accepts and then half-heartedly wards off. Tony starts to get a little more insistent and frisky and Adrian walks in. That puts a damper to Tony's plans. After Tony walks off, Alicia makes Adrian promise to never tell Eva that he saw her kissing Tony.
Eva sits on a sleeping Don Julio's bed and thought-bubbles that even though she cares for Don Julio, she's got to get out of this house.
At the dinner table, Victoria and Marcela are talking about Don Julio's condition as Renata serves them. Renata tries to complain about Eva and blame her. Marcela isn't much interested in talking about Eva. Victoria wonders about the doctor's treatment—it doesn't seem to be working very well. Marcela assures her that the treatment is slow, but sure. (Yeah right!)
Eva returns to her room to discover . . . dun dun dun . . . Daniel is waiting for her there!
Back and forth editing again. Victoria and Marcela talking about Daniel. Marcela wants to encourage Victoria to keep close to Daniel and remember that he's her boyfriend. Victoria's ears perk up in paranoia at this.
Daniel tells Eva that he snuck in through the kitchen to get to her room. He wants to ask her about Leonardo.
The mob boss has a lot of faith in Tony. He's skilled, blah de blah. They're offering him 5% of each job. Tony then meets the important guy he's been told about. Turns out it's . . . Leonardo!
Leonardo tells Tony that he's going to trust him with this job, but if Tony lets him down, it'll be bad. Leonardo doesn't tolerate betrayal. Tony gets the hint.
Victoria calls Daniel's home, trying to find out where he is.
Daniel and Eva talk it out about Leonardo.
Jackie, at Daniel's house, says Daniel is out for a walk. Victoria is suspicious.
Daniel asks Eva about being with Leonardo when they got coffee and Leonardo read her palm. Eva tells him that it wasn't what he thought it looked like. Daniel just wants her to tell him more about Leo—I think to basically reassure him that Leo means nothing to her, but instead Eva gets annoyed and tells him it's none of his business. She reminds him that he's got a girlfriend. And if that's the kind of woman he thinks she is, he should get out. He says that she has no idea how jealous he is thinking of her and Leonardo. She just wants him out of her room.
Knock knock, Victoria wants to talk to Eva! Daniel and Eva look impactado.
Francisco is meeting Marisol at a restaurant. They have this awkward moment where he kisses her on the cheek after several aborted tries.
Victoria wants to unburden herself on Eva and talk about Daniel. She trusts Eva, she says. All the while Daniel is hiding in Eva's closet. Cut to Daniel looking like an idiot hiding in Eva's closet.
Victoria senses that Eva is uncomfortable about something. It's about a man! Victoria says. Cut to Daniel, still hiding in the closet and looking like an idiot, shaking his head.
Heaps of manure being shoveled by both Marisol and Francisco at the bar. She loves opera, he loves ballet. Blah blah blah.
Victoria wants to talk about men. Is Eva in love? Meanwhile Eva gets more agitated and it's escalating a bit like it was for poor Don Julio. She's breathing hard, says it's hot. Daniel still listening in while looking like an idiot hiding in her closet.
Here's a video clip of Eva, Victoria, and Daniel looking like an idiot hiding in the closet. I cut out the Marisol/Francisco B.S.
B.S. about opera in Italy from Marisol. Francisco is slinging more B.S. My B.S. meter is working overtime here.
Eva continues to breathe heavily in preparation for a freakout as Victoria says the unbelievable: Eva is so beautiful that if she were not a lower life form. . . errr . . . if she were not a servant in her house, but instead was a woman of education and a higher social status (DID SHE JUST SAY THAT TO EVA'S FACE?!?!) that "Daniel might notice that you exist and you'd be real competition for me!" Daniel, still hiding in the closet looking like an idiot, also looks muy impactado at this statement. And who can blame him. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
Victoria ends her little speech by telling Eva that she can tell her anything, that she's a real friend. Yeah, we got that.
Victoria leaves, Daniel finally gets out of the darn closet. Eva sits on her bed looking sad and guilty.
B.S. with Claudia and Leonardo drinking drinks and smooching.
Eva still feeling really low and guilty. Daniel says that it's he who is guilty. But he goes on to say that there's something serious going on between them. She doesn't want to hear it; she wants him to go. He leaves reluctantly.
Daniel sneaks out of Eva's room like some 16-year-old. He tiptoes out and tries to sneak past the kitchen, but Renata catches sight of him and is puzzled.
Clip of this scene.
Daniel is still in sneaky mode as Marcela eyes him from behind the aquarium and says that he looks like a thief. Sputter sputter from Daniel. Marcela starts a friendly chat with Daniel.
Eva goes into Don Julio's room, leaves a note for him and tucks him into bed, looking sadly and fondly at him. She scratches Max the Dog's chin.
Video clip of these scenes.
Marcela asks Daniel how Eva was taking care of him and Laurita when he was sick. Frozen look from Daniel as he says fine. More fishing from Marcela as she comments on Eva's beauty. Daniel has that deer-in-the-headlights look but is saved by Victoria coming in and gushing over him.
Tony's giving Alicia some money and sweet talking her. I'm not sure here but is she saying that she's not going to give him more (if you know what I mean)? He says he is not asking for more. Kiss kiss.
Claudia and Leonardo are in bed and I really couldn't care less. Okay, I'll tell you what they said. She says it's great that he's so good in business. He says she shouldn't expect to marry him and get part of his fortune. She says she already knows that.
Marisol and Francisco are eating dinner and spreading the B.S. Francisco is talking about some telenovela work. Marisol sees creepy white hat guy and he approaches.
Adrian asks Doña Justa about love. He (meaning Ricardo) loves her, she loves him . . . but nothing goes on. Doña Justa wants to avoid the whole subject by putting Adrian to bed. Adrian, being a kid and therefore having far more common sense than the adults around him, persists by saying that hey, if you love each other you should be together. Doña Justa says maybe, some day, if she can leave her memories behind.
Damien (white hat guy) chats with Marisol and Francisco at the restaurant. He wants to sit and have a drink with them, but is told that they're having a private conversation. Damien presents himself as some sort of producer and says in a suggestive way to Francisco that Marisol is "marvelous" (wink wink nudge nudge). Francisco thinks that this Damien guy is a strange one. Yeah, I'll say.
Victoria is happy to see Daniel. She tries to browbeat him into meeting her for lunch the next day. Eva is leaving the house as Daniel exits via the front door. Meaningful looks are exchanged. End of episode.

Elvira, Thank you for your funny commentary on the recap. It was too funny with Daniel hidding in the closet,and then Icky-Vicky wanting to be friends with Eva (Girl Talk) I'm with you on the Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot. When is Alicia going to catch a clue with Tony. If I were Carlos I would forget that girl. Leo,Tony, & bad man in some kind of "business deal". Don Julio and his attack of the heart b/c Eva was leaving, I feel bad for this old gentlemen, I think he know's there is some kind of bond (father--Daughter).
Why is Daniel taking advice from Francisco (even though it was good advice). They should have just left Marisol & Francisco's seen out, it was a waste of time IMO.

Elvira, thanks for the recap and the clips.
Oh Alicia is frighteningly stupid. And now we know that Tony will probably graduate to murder too (with Leo's orders).
ITA - Michele, Carlos should forget her. Where in PA are you from? My folks live in close to Villanova.
Poor Eva. She should get out of that house though Don Julio is a sweetie.

Elvira,your recap has everything; pictures, videos and a great read.
Marcella is scary and I don't blame Eva for wanting to get the heck out of that crazy house.
And now Tony is going to be Leo's right hand man. I wonder who Leo is planning on having roughed up.
Is this our plotline to get Leo better acquainted with Alicia?
The Daniel in the closet scene. What? Your title was so right on there.
Thanks again, for this complete recap. I wasn't paying close attention so did miss a few key points and your recap filled in the blanks.

Elvira, thanks for the great recap! Even though I watched the episode last night, your recap helped me see how much I missed. It also confirmed for me things I couldn't believe, like Leonardo telling Claudia that she shouldn't expect to share his money when they marry. Geez, what a loving conversation!
Speaking of Leonardo, I was surprised that the Important Person Tony meets was Leonardo. Since I was complaining yesterday that this telenovela was so predictable, I was delighted at this unanticipated (at least by me) turn of events.
Michele, I agree with you about Carlos: he should forget about Alicia, though I suspect the Telenovela Rules dictate that he can't and won't, and that they'll wind up Together at the End. What he sees in this airhead is a total mystery to me.
Though I'm usually bored with the scenes between Marisol and Francisco, I enjoyed the restaurant scene, especially when Damien came along with all his insinuations that Francisco didn't understand (but Marisol certainly did).

Elvira, great recap. I laughed re-reading your description of how silly Daniel looked last night (loved the sneaky tip-toe down the hall), but he's so darn cute, I'll forgive him anything.
Icky Vicky and her ego - I'm going to insult you but please be my friend. If I was Eva, I would have slapped her. I do hope Eva leaves the manse for good and finds some other job that will show her smarts. Then she can give a massive nose-thumb to her new BFF.
And so help me if they are setting up Alicia to get the worst of Tony's violent attitude, I will not be happy. She may be as dense as a doornail, but please let Carlos in to save the day. I hate this need by TN writers to always throw in a severe act of violence on one of the female characters. Grrrr.

Pata's question about who Leo is planning to have roughed up made me think that perhaps that's how Leo plans to deal with Bruno. Though I wonder whether Lollypop Boy is really up to the job. It's one thing to terrorize Carlos and the teacher, quite another to overpower someone like Bruno.
loved your fun recap, Elvira!
I am beginning to think El gallo (the bad guy teaming up with Tony and Leo) could be the mystery guy behind Bruno?
what a moving scene with Daniel and Eva after icky-vicky's nasty bombarding... at least that gives Daniel a good feel for the real attitude and values of V-icky...
LOVED LOVED Jorge Lavat's performance in last night's episode. Someone as old as him and as dependent on others clings very much to someone who suddenly brings him a new reason to live, so I can understand his extreme reaction when he was just as happy as he probably does not remember being in a long time... like you said, Elvira, Eva came in to pull the rug from under him and he tries to hold on to it ...

Sweeney32: Great read, amiga! LOL! Loved the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! May I borrow that? Lots of chuckles in this one. Daniel should just make the honest break with Vicky. He should be honest with Eva and tell her he's sick of Icky Vicky and lay it on the line. He's in so deep having made that bet with Leo he's going to have dig six foot up to get out! ITA, he's acting like an idiotic dope. Ugh! It hurt to watch those scenes, including the one with mugging Marcy! Felt sorry for ol' D. J. too.
that sure was a boat load of insults...
... you are so beautiful that if you were more educated and/or of a higher social class I would not speak to you... (Eva: why?)
... if you were an executive, had money and were not just a house help I would consider you a real competition... Daniel would notice you and that would be fatal...
YIKES!!!

Guy and his characters...here he lost his memory... in Cafe Guy's character lost his mind...

SV: ... se me cruzan los cables, se me sube la sangre al cerebro... LOL!!

Well, on the plus side, hiding in a closet is on my Bingo card, and now I'm just one square away from completing a row! It's a little childish, but at least Daniel went over there to talk to Eva directly. It's better than a lot of galáns manage. I wish he could have overheard Marcela's and Leo's conversation instead.
Thanks for the excellent recap. I love your snarking about Tony & Alicia and Francisco & Marisol.

Elvira. It was a great read.
I couldn't care less about Frank's and Marisol's conversation either, but I got a kick out of Damian insisting out loud that Ms was "working." I don't think that passed Francisco completely unnoticed.
My take on the Casino Guy/Leo/Tony arrangement is that Leo owes Casino Guy a lot of money. On the other hand, didn't Marcy ask Leo to keep tabs on Daniel and Eva? What could be easier than getting low-life Tony to watch the two of them constantly? Wonder if that might give Tony a moral dilemma if he has to hurt Eva? Hmmm, probably not.
So, Dano still can't figure out his feelings for Eva and needs Francisco's sage advice? Give me a break. Well, maybe the poor guy is confused. He was happily married, lost his wife and currently saddled with V-icky-me-me-me. This looks more like a "business" arrangement than true love, so this is the first time in years that those feelings have been stirred.
Thanks for pointing out what an insult to Eva were Vickie's comments. I was worring too much about closet-guy to listen very carefully.

SORRY to post this here, but I don't know how to e-mail anyone.
I can't seem to find Friday's recap on Delicious. There are duplicates of Thursday, Nov. 18. Then it skips to Monday, Nov. 22.
Fri. Nov. 19 was the episode where Eva reads the note in the purse to Alicia; Dano gets sniffed by Vick when he gets home and he gets miffed; Dano sneaks into Eva's cuarto de servicio the next day and is caught by Leo; and then the No Hay Boda bedroom scene, etc. etc. (I guess you can tell which characters I'm focusing on.)
I know I read the recap and there were some good comments to go with it.

Thanks, everyone, I'm glad the recap was okay. And thanks for filling in some of the blanks I left!
I'm glad it wasn't only me who thought the whole closet-hiding thing was ridiculous, but I suspect that the writers and actors knew that too! LOL.
I agree, Don Julio is a sweetie. I wasn't sure about him at the beginning and now I'm really liking him.
Ooh, I hadn't thought of that, perhaps Tony will end up "overseeing" Eva and Daniel. Wow, this could get complicated!
Uh oh, did something go amiss? I'm glad you caught the missing recap listing on delicious. I was focusing on putting up my own and didn't check the dates of the others. Sorry about that!

I looked at 11/18 side-by-side again. The recaps are identical, the comments are NOT. One probably belongs with the missing 11/19.
