Eva Luna #6 Mon 11/8/10 A Night for Faux Pas
Eva refuses to consider that Daniel might be in love with her. She tells Alicia that he’s still trying to have a good time at her expense.
Daniel though, can’t get Eva out of his head; he’s wondering if she read the note yet and why he even sent it to begin with. He tells himself he can’t understand what’s happened to him or why her forgiving him should matter so much.
Alicia asks Eva why the guy who sent her the flowers can’t be in love with her? Eva says because they’ve only met and spoken a couple of times and each time it was one disaster after another. No way has it She tells her kid sis that this man is the last one on earth she’d ever fall in love with. Discussion over.
At Los Arimendi, old Don Julio is rolling around his room and moping. He tells Max that he is the only one he knows that still cares about him or loves him. Marcella even made sure that his two children deserted him and neither of them ever comes to see him any longer. In another part of the house, Renata is getting ready for bed. She takes out and fingers the packet of love letters she wrote over the years but never sent to Don Julio. And, in a third section of the manse, mean Murderous Marcy picks up a picture of her and Don Julio and says that while he’s dying more and more each day her desire to live life increases.
Back in Dano’s bedroom, he’s still pacing and wondering why he’s fallen in love with Eva. He remember’s Francisco’s mentioning that it wouldn’t be the first time a man fell in love with his protégé.
Alicia is now asleep, but Eva is awake and thinking about Dan and why he would make the effort to write her let alone send flowers and his driver over. She thinks about what Alicia told her and remembers his asking her to smile for him the next time they saw each other. She decides the best thing is to forget him and avoid running into him again. (Good luck with that, girlfriend! Not only is he close friends with Leo, but he dates Leo’s sister and lives in the neighborhood. No way you’re not gonna be tripping over him daily!) She turns out the light.
The next afternoon/early evening? Eva is in Victoria’s room helping her to look for a special bra for the dress she’s modeling during the fashion show. She makes lots of points for finding it and Vicky takes a minute to thank her for sewing the dress she needed for her interview earlier. Eva tells her her aunt taught her to sew and always said she had a knack for it. Vicky decides to give her one of her expensive bracelets as a sign of appreciation and she names her as her personal assistant. (Ok. One more reason she’ll be bumping into Dan continually.)
Anyway, Dano comes by to take Vicky to the auditorium for dress rehearsal before going back home to get ready himself. He looks around the kitchen like he’s looking for somebody and Renata asks if he is looking for Leo. “Nope. Can you get me a glass of water, please though?” He sneaks out on Ren and heads into see Vicky. He’s surprised to see Eva there helping her and Vicky explains what’s up. He reminds her they need to get rolling. Vicky walks into another room for a moment and Dan grumbles mockingly tp Eva in a low voice about people who receive cards and flowers and don’t have the courtesy of mentioning them. Eva ignores him and hurries out of the bedroom. Vicky rushes back out and asks Dan what he did to Eva to make her race off like that.
Downstairs in the kitchen Eva’s cleaning up when Leo walks in and begins to tell her she’s pretty enough to be a model. He kicks into seduction mode, complimenting her eyes, hair and body. He’s close enough so that their bodies nearly touch.
Back in Vicky’s room, she tells Dan she was only joking about Eva. She tells him about the bracelet she gave her. She lays a beso on him. Lovey Dovey. FF>>
In the kitchen Eva excuses herself and nervously starts cleaning up again. He apologizes and smoothly changes the subject to her mother and father. She explains her situation and he milks her daddy’s death for all it’s worth. In a minute he’s got her weeping on his shoulder and hugging him. What a compassionate kind of guy! (Gag me!) A few seconds later Daniel walks back through the kitchen and spies the two of them. She’s got her back to Dan and doesn’t see him or Leo’s smug grin. Dan is saucer-eyed impactado, not to mention all shades of Jealousy Green.
Vicky stops in to say adios to Mama and starts to go to see her father before leaving. Mad Marcy stops her from seeing him by lying and saying he’s taking a nap and to let it wait till tomorrow.
Dano gets snippy and asks if he’s interrupting. Leo says actually he is. “Well, I’ll let you alone so you can continue “chatting”! Eva knows what it looks like and offers to leave but Leo stops her. Dan says no, but it seems your little boss-man here is about to “take advantage” of you. Eva takes offense and defends Leo actions by going off on Dan. “--And if you think that by sending me letters and flowers with your chauffeur you’re going to get anything from me, you’re mistaken!” She storms out. Leo laughs afterwards. “--You sent her notes and flowers? What a genious!” He says he prefers something more dirct: “action” to . “Dan warns him off her. “—Leave her in peace!” “—No, YOU leave her in peace. Come on. What do you say to doubling the bet since I’m going to win anyway?” Vicky walks through and Dan and she leave.
Back at the boarding house, Doña Justa notices that little Adrian’s been moping around the place all day. It seems that his father didn’t come home the night before and he still hasn’t heard from him. Her boxing trainer boyfriend tries looking for him but comes up with goose-eggs.
Downtown during rehearsal, designer Diego needs an extra seamstress to help out with alterations since one called in sick. Vicki says she knows just the right person and calls the house to Renata to have Eva sent over. Renata gives Eva the word. She goes for her things and leaves the kitchen. The cook mentions to Renata that it seems Eva has won over everyone in the house, including Don Julio. Renata frowns. Anyway, she calls Dan about Eva needing to be sent down to the fashion show to help out Vicky. She thinks better of it and says she’ll send her in a taxi instead, but Dan insists on taking her and hangs up. He smiles to himself at this additional chance to be with her.
Renata rushes Eva out of the house and tells herself she can’t understand why Sr. Daniel would insist on taking Eva to the fashion show. “Has to be something strange going on.”
The old boxer takes Tony outside and explains the situation. Tony has connections and says he will go around and try finding out where Adrian’s daddy might have gone.
When Eva sees it’s Dano standing there to take her she gets grumpy again. Dan asks her what’s the problem? Not only did he send her notes and flowers and his driver to ask her to forgive him, now she’s even gotten him to become her chauffeur! What’s it going to take, anyway? She gripes and grouses a bit more but eventually gets into the car and they leave.
Tony enters El Gallo’s gambling den of iniquity and starts asking the dealers for news of Tomas, Adrian’s daddy. He gets taken to El Gallo’s office right away. El Gallo tells him that he’s put a hit out on the guy. (I guess that means Thomas has taken a powder.) He warns Tony to keep out of his business. Tony says he isn’t really interested in what’s going on, but his little boy is involved. One of El Gallo’s goons reminds El Gallo that they didn’t take Thomas’s kid into consideration.
During the drive to the show, Eva asks why he specifically happens to be the one taking her there and why he always is after her and bumping into her. He keeps asking her about having read the note. She ignores him and says flowers and a card aren’t going to win her trust (I think). He asks if she’s going to keep scolding him all night. It’s getting old and she’s being unfair; he’s done everything he could think of to show her he’s sorry! Finally Eva is shamed into recanting and says, well since that was your intention, then you’re forgiven. Dan wants to know if she read the letter or not. She gives in and says yes, but if… Dan interrupts and says that was NOT my intention. They both end up trying to fight back a smile and when they pull up to a stop light Eva remembers the car show and Daniel and her staring at each other after he saved her from falling to the floor when she tripped.
People are driving up outside the fashion show. Some 30 something stud gets out at the same time Marcy does and notices her. Dan drives up a couple cars back and lets Eva out, but only after she asks him why he wrote the letter. He assures her it was only to make sure she didn’t think he was some kind of boorish lout who was just out to have a bit of fun at her expense. She smiles and says she believes him. He smiles back, relieved and happy.
Inside the building, Vicky calls home to find out how long till Eva arrives. Renata tells her that Sr. Daniel left a half hour earlier with Eva. Vicky is a bit surprised to learn that Daniel insisted on taking Eva rather than letting her take a cab. Outside again, Marcy meets up with Dano and Eva and wants to know what gives. Dan explains and after she gives Eva her blessing, so to speak, she asks Dan why he brought her. Dan explains it just made sense since he was on his way anyway. Marcy asks if it was out of kindness or self-interest. He sidesteps an answer and gives her his arm.
Back inside the building, Marcy and Dan meet up with Leo. Leo finds out that Dan brought Eva. Dan’s grins like the Cheshire Cat. “—Don’t worry! We talked about everything in the world, except you!” He offers to get Leo a drink, smiles and pats his shoulder, then heads for the bar. Leo is not a happy camper.
Eva rushes around in back and Marcy has dinner with a buddy of her husband’s. When asked she says D.Julio is really bad off and may not make it for very much longer.
During the dinner chat Thirty-Something Stud Guy keeps staring at Marcy from across the room and vice versa. Turns out Stud Guy’s name is Bruno and he and Leo are old pals.
Back in the dressing room, Eva is introduced to Diego. He makes a big deal about Eva’s skill and says he’s even more impressed by her looks. She could be a “Miss Universe.” Vicky overhears this and moves in to squelch the competition from The Help by taking another opportunity to thank Diego for the chance to close the show.
At the boarding house Alicia is bored and wants to go to work with Marisol. She actually becomes a pest and since Marisol can’t exactly take her to the strip joint (the real place she works at), she tricks Alicia into changing while she sneaks out and races off.
Leo introduces Bruno to Mama Marcy and they exchange double-entendres for greetings which apparently go over Leo’s head. After Mama leaves, Leo says it was a good thing he told Bruno she was his mother or knowing him, Bruno would have asked her to go out with him.
A few minutes later the fashion show begins. Eva is watching by the lighting technicians in the back of the room.
Marisol’s old squeeze/pimp, the strip-joint owner, tells him to put on a sexy dress and dance especially for him tonight. That’s the last thing she wants to do but of course, she hasn’t got a choice.
Dona Justa and Boxer Guy put Adrian to bed and wonder what to do with him if his daddy doesn’t come back for some reason.
During the fashion show Leo starts looking around the room and he sees Eva in back. He gets up and surprises her. Dano watches Leo walk towards her and flirt. Now Dano’s not the happy camper. For some reason she doesn’t suspect Leo of a thing even though the first thing out of his mouth is another flirtatious compliment: “It’s incredible, but even at a distance I can see your pretty eyes.” (Dunno. Maybe the music’s just too loud for her to make it all out.) Eva giggles and tells Leo he startled her. Leo mentions that if he’d known she was here he would have had her sit with them. She says no, she couldn’t have; she’s not even supposed to be there.
Dan keeps giving Leo the evil eye from across the room. Leo says of course it’s alright, and he’s rather glad she’s there so close to him. This finally puts her on guard and she hints at being uncomfortable. “Señor!” “—What’s with the Señor? It’s about time you forget the Sr. stuff and just call me Leonardo.” Now his voice turns seductive again. “—or maybe just… Leo.” He starts playing with her hair. Eva reminds him to behave himself. Leo invites her for a drink to make her relax. She angrily asks him if he’s crazy or what and tells him it would be better if he goes back to his seat.
Okay! Vicky and the wedding dress she’s modeling to close the show has just been announced and she begins to walk onto the stage. Across the room, though, Eva has just told off Leo.”—Back off! You don’t know what I’m capable of if you don’t!.” She storms away from him and-- Ooopss! Suddenly all the music, lights and sound go dead as Eva accidentally kicks the wires on the floor and disconnects the main wire. For an extremely embarrassing moment all seems to be lost. Eva apologizes to the crew. Leo taps her arm and tells her to just leave them alone so they can do their job and get it all working again. She hisses at him to leave her alone and not to touch her again!
Once the strobes come back on, Vicky saves the day by calmly explaining that this is exactly how they planned getting the audience’s attention for the best outfit of the evening. Everyone applauds and no one but Mama seems to notice it wasn’t. Eva thanks the Diosito that everything turned out alright despite her screw up.
Tony comes back home and he and Alicia go together to a disco for a little dancing. She can’t understand why Marisol dumped on her this way. Tony reminds her that Mari has her…”boyfriend problems.”
Back at the manse, Renata brings Julio his medicine and Juliio asks where Eva is. Renata says she’s taking care of him because Eva had something else to do. He whines to her about everyone abandoning him. She insists that she still is there for him and cares about him. (She tiptoes on eggshells when she says it. Viewerville gets a creepy feeling but we still don’t know the whole history here between the two of them.) Don Julio smiles at her and relaxes.
Daniel finds Leo during the reception. Leo smirks and hints that Vicky’s calling for him. Dan tells him he saw Eva with him during the show and how she nearly fell trying to run away from his harassing her. Leo says he’s taking his roll as “protector” a bit far. Daniel gets in Leo’s face and warns him to lay off or he will smash his face in and accuses him of sexual harassment. Leo dares him to just try putting a hand on him. Dan explodes and gives him a right hook to the jaw. In come the bouncer types. Bruno helps break up the fight. Dan reminds Leo in front of everyone that he dislikes threats. He repeats to Leo that he’d better lay off Eva and then struts off.
Bruno asks Leo what the dust up was all about and who this “Eva” is. Leo wipes the blood from his mouth and explains she’s a new conquest he’s got a bet over with the guy who just cuffed him.
After the show is over Mad Marcy goes back and threatens to have the production crew hounded out of the business for unprofessionalism. The head tech tells her that it was an accident cause by the model on the other side of the room. Mad Marcy looks as he points to Eva at the other side of the back. She explains she’s not a model. The tech says she should be because she’s really beautiful. Marcy suddenly decides to forget and forgive. She grumbles to herself: “—Ah! So she’s the guilty one.”
Marcy is smiling once again as she watches Vicky and the Univision interview/announcer give her publicity for saving the show with her remarks. Marcy tells Diego it was a good choice using Vicky to close the show with. Diego says her generous “donation” helped him make his choice.
Bruno flirts with Marcy while she watches Vicky and the press. He compliments her on her beauty and says it’s obviously inherited. Marcy says thanks, but it’s definitely not a question of being inherited. Bruno keeps bull-dozing with Marcy and says he thinks Marcy’s actually more beautiful than her daughter. They toast.
In another part of the reception, Vicky asks Dan if he knows what happened with the lighting and sound. He sidesteps and tells her to enjoy her well-deserved success and star of the show. Vicky smiles and says she wants to be his shining star for your nights as well. They toast and kiss again as Eva watches and sighs.

Thanks, Jardinera, for a great recap. Two things surprised me about this episode. One is that Vicki, whom I keep thinking of as Bimbo1, had the presence of mind to say what she did about the momentary power outage being planned to call more attention to the dress. Hmmm...nothing else she has done or said has given me any indication that there's even half a brain in her head.
The other surprising thing is that Eva hasn't noticed Dan's bright red convertible and made the connection with the car that killed her father. I mean, the car isn't exactly ordinary. I would think she'd notice. Also, what happened to the blue car that Dan said he wanted to buy? I had thought that he'd buy it, thus giving the telenovela more time before Eva makes the connection between his red car and her father's death.
Oh well...I guess one further thing that surprised me was Tony's concern for Adrian. I've been sure that Tony is a dishonest sleazeball, but last night I wasn't so sure. Geez, don't tell me this TN will actually have some complexity in its characterization. ¡No puede ser!

Thanks Jardinera. You cleared a couple things up for me with your complete recap. I wasn't paying the closest of attention, and totaly missed the fact that it was Renata who was looking at the love letters.
I agree with you Juanita about Tony. He is hard to read. He seems like such a creep one minute than the next is really sweet. I wonder if Adrian's father will ne back soon.
And the Stud with Marcella. That was a bit wierd.
I was surprised that Vicky gave Eva the jewelery. She actually seemed very sincere. Maybe she will be more complex as well.
I like watching Eva and Dan together. They have a nice chemistry starting. I cringe when Leo gets close to her.

Jardinera- Thanks so much for the recap. You filled in a few scenes for me that I missed while flipping back and forth to Aurora, although I did watch most of Eva Luna. I hope this now shows Eva just who is the lout she can't trust, and it's not Dan.
Juanita- Dan has not driven the red car since that day. It's being repaired I believe. Last night he was in an orange car. The last few episodes he's been in every color car, but red. The car he bought is probably being personalized like most expensive cars like that are- not a walk out of the showroom same day kind of thing.
Yes, I also like that they are giving Vicky and Tony some complexity. Vicky was really genuine in her thanks to Eva for helping her out. If not for the fact that she senses (and will soon know) that Eva is competition for Dan (and possibly modelling), she seems like she would be really kind to Eva. Haven't figured Tony out yet, but I do know he will cause Alicia trouble (either intentionally or unintentionally). I think the little boy is better off without his horrible father. I hope the mobsters find him and succeed in bumping him off. I know that's awful of me.
Now for the modelling thing. If I was ANY photographer or agent at that fashion show, I would be clamoring for Eva to sign her up. Not only is she a natural beauty, with great cheekbones and beautiful striking eyes, she is also super tall! Taller than all of the models in the show who were wearing towering heels while she was in flats, and as tall as the guys in her flats. Hello! It was funny when the fashion designer told her she could be Miss Universe since Blanca Soto is a former Mis Mexico and represented Mexico in Miss Universe 13 years ago.

As always Jardinera, you have everything covered.Like Pata, I was half watching some scenes while finishing up some work at home. Your recap was much appreciated.
I did catch the left hook - that was sweet. Leo is a true skuzz, but thankfully Eva seems to be on to him.
I do think some of the characters are turning out to be a bit more complex than the usual stereotypical characters we sometimes get. I even have moments of liking Vicki and feeling rather sorry for her with that mother she has. She is a definite Altair J. type character - somewhat bratty/spoiled little rich girl but who just may get redeemed and awaken to what is important by the end?
The only aspect of the show last night that made my head hurt - what the heck was with Bruno and Mercy-Me? She looks old enough to be his mother, and he has to be either extremely farsighted or the biggest BS'er this side of the Atlantic to say she's more beautiful than her daughter. who is this guy??? the thought of the two of them just is---ICK!

Thanks, Vivi, for setting me straight. I would have sworn that that was the same color as the car that hit her father, but I looked again at last night's tape, and yes, the car is orange. Good grief, so he has an orange car, and I think a yellow car, and he has ordered a blue car, in addition to the red car? I really thought I liked him, but that turns me off big time.
I am not so sure Renata was saying she sent the letters. What I heard her say was that he would not read them ever, but not that she sent them, maybe they are from some woman that renata helped separate from Don Julio, the one Julio seemed to be wondering and crying about last night.
Jardinera *** (those are your gold stars for this episode--even though I haven't finished reading it).
About Dano being surprised to see Eva in the house--and cierto he was looking for her as he stood in the foyer. Remember he thought Marcella was going to fire her and the matter was not resolved until later on.
Vicky was telling him that her mother changed her mind and that's why she was still there.
I guess Adrian's papito is gone for good. Who's the lucky person going to be who gets him. I don't think the folks at the B&B are going to let the estado take him.
Martaivette--you caught it right. Renata is fingering letters she says Julio did not receive and would never receive. They don't look as though they had a proper address or stamps on the envelopes, so they could have been in-house. Hmmm could they have been from Eva's mother who may have worked there and been in love with Julio? And...could that be Renata? Perish the thought.
Why oh why can't they do sound better in open corvettes? I couldn't understand half of what Dano and Eva said to each other. I don't use CC, so I'm happy Jardinera caught it.
There are not enough words in the English language to describe Leon and his little game. A complete lecher, a reprobate, libertine, debaucher.
There may be other comments to make, but I need to finish reading the recap.

Jardinera, thanks so so so much. Our cable went out last night and I only saw the first half, so I really appreciate the detailed recount. Can anyone tell me, did Eva actually say "no me toques" when she was trying to get rid of Leo? That's on my Bingo and I've been waiting AGES (okay, a week) for someone to say it. I'd hate to miss out just because of a stupid cable outage!
I love the complexity of the characters. The only ones I really hate so far are Marcela and Leo, which is fine because they've both killed people so it's highly unlikely they can be redeemed. Vicky actually seems okay, although I'm sure there's a lot of ugly desperate jealousy to come. She's a vapid bimbo, but she can also be sweet. She was genuinely appreciative of Eva's help and rewarded her, she was upset when she found out that she didn't get the modeling job based only on her own merits, she's quick enough to smooth out the glitch at the show. The only truly ghastly thing I've seen in her so far is that she wants to marry Dan and send Laurita off to boarding school.
I kind of like Tony so far, even if he is a thieving cad. He's a cutie, and the actor is doing a great job. The character is not all bad. I'll hope he will be reformed.

Vivi in DC: en serio??? 13years ago?? to me, Blanca Soto looks like she's only in her early 20s. she truly is beautiful.

Thanks for the recap Jardinera. Your title captures the travails of poor Dan.
Leo is icky and he's going to cause a lot of complications for Dan & Eva. Both the death of her dad (in Dan's car) and their stupid bet will be milked for all they're worth.
Yes Julia Eva did say "no me toques" so you can take that off your bingo card.

Jardinera, thank you once again. Yes, Leo is really bad and I am so glad that Eva doesn't fall for his BS.
I cannot figure Renata out but I am sure they will parse her story out over many, many weeks. One one thread in this tangled mess.
I sure that Adrian's good for nothing father never shows up and Dona Justa takes him under her wing. He is a sweetheart.
I also feel sorry for Don Julio with only Max to keep him company. And all the while Marcy, black glove and all, is out having a really good time flirting with a much younger man.

Woo-hoo! Another square checked off.
Did anyone else think it was strange that Daniel and Eva left the house in broad daylight, but it was completely dark when they arrived at the fashion show? I mean, I know Los Angeles traffic is bad, but...
Or maybe he took the loooooooong scenic route to spend more time with her.

Hi all! Thanks for taking time to read and comment. Nice that Eva forgave Dan and that finally Leo showed his true colors. Speaking of colors, I don't remember the yellow car, but either way, the red one is so unique looking that she is certain to recognize it and then all Hell should break loose if there's any romance started between her and Dan by then. --I did love the fisty cuffin' between Dano and Leo. --I don't know what to make of Victoria's recent kindness towards Eva. Sort of hard to think of her as a bimbutt when she acts decent towards her personal staff, you know? -- As for the Adrian's drunken slob of a father, I hopw El Gallo runs into him before I do! Adrian has not worries cuz I think D. Justa is a natural mothering type.
Shallowgal- Yep, that long ago. Blanca Soto is not as young as she looks. Which is why seeing her with middle aged Guy (Dan) doesn't creep me out a ton- only bugs me a bit. :)
Thank you for the fantastic recap! So much detail. I really appreciated it!
I can't make up my mind now—is Tony the Lollypop boy a scumbag or what?
Yeah, I looked up Blanca Soto's age a while ago, and while I couldn't get an exact age, I found out about her being a beauty queen in 1997. I suspect she's in her early 30s. So that makes Guy Ecker's 50-something-but-often-looks-40-something not so bothersome to me.

Thanks so much for the recap! I've just started watching Eva Luna this week and I only catch about 50% of the dialogue while watching, the recaps fill in the blanks for me a lot!
While I think Leo is a cad, I think he's muy guapo and I wish he was the galán instead of Daniel!
