Eva Luna #17 Wed 11/24/10 Happy Birthday Mom
Eva is leaving the mansion. As she looks back we see Daniel coming out the door. There are exchanged sorrowful looks and then Eva turns and starts running away leaving Daniel to look on as if in torture.
Marcia has a little talk with Vicky. She wants to know if she is happy with the way things are with Daniel. She gives her some wonderful “motherly advise” She tells her she is pretty enough but in today’s world a girls got to be more than pretty to get her man. She needs to be a little bit wicked (maldad) as well. (This coming from the wicked witch of the north.) . They talk more and Marcia tells Vicky she thinks something is going on. Vicky agrees with her. She tells her she needs to be resourceful to make sure that Daniel doesn’t look at anyone else.
Marisol and Fran are still at the restaurant. She comes up with a big whopper about Damian. She tells him he is a crazy person who has been following her and is obsessed with her (I think) and that he was put away in a mental institute but has escaped (or was released/ it is lie so does it matter?) Fran being the galan, promises her that he will make sure no one bothers her again.
Somewhere in all this wonderful editing is a little part where Eva shows up at the pension and tells Alicia it is over. She tells her about the conversation with Daniel and it was horrible. She also tells her Marcia warned her to stay away from Daniel. Alicia wants to know if Marcia fired her. Eva tells her it was her choice to leave. She was an idiot to fall for Daniel and she is really hurting now. We have a sisterly supportive hug.
I think it is the next day. Julio is in bed and Max is barking away. (Must be his alarm clock) He finds Eva’s note and starts reading it. Then he starts screaming like crazy for Renata. She comes running in. He demands to know where Eva is. He orders her to go get her and bring her to his room. Renata searches Eva’s room. Nope no Eva there. Then she asks one of the other servants if they have seen Eva. She tells her Eva hasn’t arrived yet. A very disheartened Julio now realizes it is a certainty. She has left and won’t be returning.
Alicia and Eva are chatting. Eva feels she did the right thing but feels badly because she knows Julio will miss her. Alicia encourages her to think about going back. Eva assures her there is no going back. In the meantime our maidenly troll is giving the wicked witch the news that Julio is really upset because she left her card of resignation.
We are now at the ad Agency (or wherever it is that Dan work’s at.) He is talking shop with his pretty assistant Maritza. They are talking about an important presentation they are about to give. Marti gets very close to Daniel and as she is caressing his face, guess who walks in? Vicky. She does not look pleased. Marti excuses herself. Vicky still has her “charms” about her and sweetly tells Daniel she will not be able to have breakfast with him and leaves. Next think we know she is in Marti’s office wearing a very sinister look.
She chews Marti out for getting to close to Daniel and touching his face. Marti tells her for her “tranquility” that there is nothing going on between them, she also says something I didn’t catch. I think she told her that Daniel isn’t interested in neither of them.
Julio is still quite upset and talking with Marcia. She has nothing good to say about Eva. Julio defends her and Marcia barks “look at the way she just up and left. Without any thought about you.” Julio tells her he doesn’t believe that and orders her to go look for her. He needs her back in the house right now!!! Marcia tells him she will get him a new assistant.
Eva is doing a little soul searching on the beach as she talks to herself about the mess she is in. She says she didn’t even know Daniel had a girlfriend. She looks upward pleading for help from her dad.
Our next scene is of Vicky putting to use some of her mother’s advice as she is sitting at Marti’s desk and messing with her computer.
So now we are at the presentation and guess what? It isn’t going well for poor Marti. All the numbers are wrong. The clients are miffed and wants to end the meeting and Daniel seems to be a bit in the fog. Marcia apologizes to the clients for the mediocre work of Daniel’s assistant.
Marti approaches Marcia to apologize and our Wicked witch isn’t having any of it. Leo pipes in that they will loose millions of dollars. Daniel tries to take some of the blame and Marcia says it isn’t his fault it is all that stupid girls and fires her on the spot.
Daniel asks her about what happened and why the numbers were all wrong and when did they change. Marti swears they were right and has no idea what went wrong. He tells her when things settle down he will talk to Marcia.
Vicky has returned to the office and tells Dan she came back for her phone. She says it was a shame that they lost the big deal. Daniel can’t believe that Marti would mess up like that. Vicky remarks what a day it’s been with two people out of work. Daniel inquires who else is out of work and Vicky tells him that Eva quit her job. Daniel looks shocked.
More sisterly chat with Alicia telling Eva she will get a job and Eva once again telling her she needs to finish her education.
There is a knock on the pension door and it is Daniel. He tells Justa he came to see Eva. She sends Adrian in to tell her. Adrian tells Eva her boyfriend is in the living room waiting to see her. She asks “what boyfriend?” He tells her the one that was at the party. Alicia has been sent to tell Daniel that Eva does not want to see him. She is tired of all his words and his letters. He gets all crazy and Alicia becomes concerned. He tells her that Eva has made him crazy.
Eva walks into the living room. Daniel tells her she can’t quit her job because of him. She pleads with him to forget about her. He says “if it was just that easy.” She now has the letter in her hand and rips it up while Daniel continues his begging. She firmly tells him to leave her alone and walks away. We see a heartbroken Daniel bending down to retrieve the torn letter.
We have another person not exactly pleased that Eva has quit her job. He is talking with Renata. She tells him she did everyone a favor by leaving. Leo wants to know if she had anything to do with her leaving. Renata tells him no but she would have been pleased if it would have been her fault. He starts off to go after her and Renata tries to stop him. He is outside now with her insisting he shouldn’t go after her. Marcia shows up and tells him that women will not step a foot inside this house again no matter what Julio wants.
Back at the office, Clara is asking Marti if she thinks Vicky changed the numbers. She tells Clara she is sure she did it. She had warned her earlier to stay away from Daniel. Clara encourages her to fight for her job. Marti replies “who do you think Marcia would believe? Me or her daughter?”
Said daughter is lounging on the beach with her buddy Claudia telling her all about the deed. Claudia is concerned that Maybe Mommy dearest won’t be so pleased.
Alicia has returned to Eva telling her she can’t imagine the sad face Daniel had. Eva reminds her that Daniel has a girlfriend. Alicia tells her he is not in love with his girlfriend. Eva isn’t buying this. She tells Alicia all he wants to do is make fun of her.
Leo is at Daniel’s house. Dan wants to know what he is doing there. Leo accuses him setting all this up just to get Eva out of the house so he could win the game. Daniel tells him to forget about his stupid strategies. Daniels tells Leo he is in no mood for this. Leo now wonders if Dan has fallen in love with Eva. We see little Laurita hiding away but listening intently in. (Bingo anyone?)
Daniel tells Leo the best thing is for Eva to leave. Leo tells Daniel he will look for her. I am not certain about this but I think Daniel tells Leo that Marcia suspects something and Leo tells him that Marcia knows everything. He asks Daniel again if he has fallen in love with Eva then says “What a shame because I want her for myself.” Leo also reminds Daniel that Vicky is his girlfriend and warns him not to hurt his sister.
This was an interesting turn of events. Justa has taken Adrian shopping and runs into an old friend. It turns out they use to work together at Julio’s business. They haven’t seen each other for a very long time. The friend causally inquires “ What has been happening in your life? Did you have a boy or a girl?” Oh oh! Justa gets quite unnerved and hurries off to pay for her purchase telling Beatrice it was good to see her again and leaves. Beatrice is now paying her bill and notices that Justa has forgotten her drivers license behind and rushes off after her. Justa is nowhere to be found.
Laurita and Jacky are talking. Laurita tells her all about the conversation she overheard. She knows that her dad likes Eva because they are always fighting. Jacky wonders if she is pulling for Eva because she wants her in her life. She confesses to Laurita that she agrees with her but they need to keep this as their little secret.
And out of nowhere we see Bruno lying shirtless in some bed talking on the phone. He is lying to Marcia telling her he is at the airport now. There was more talk about what he is supposedly doing and I hear my turkey gobbling so I really got to wrap this up. Anyway she tells him she will see him in his office and he suggests a more intimate meeting at dinner. She ponders this slyly and tells him she could do that. She suddenly gets freaked as she sees Julio scooting around the corner in his “Hover around.”
She tells Bruno she has to hang up. Something inconvenient has just come up. Julio wants to know if she is now referring to him as her inconvenience. She accuses him of playing the role of a victim. He quips back “I suppose the inconvenience is that I am sole owner of the Arismante (?) fortune.
Now Julio has wheeled into Marcia’s bedroom. She can’t believe he would leave his sanctuary to enter her room. He asks her who she was talking to. She tells him it was business. She then asks him why he is in her bedroom. He starts shouting at her and tells her he gave her an order and she will do it. Marcia tells him she will not have that woman back in her house. He tells her it is his house and she will go find her!!
Daniel and Laurita are having supper. Laurita eats everything but Daniel has no appetite and leaves the table. We skip over to the pension and see that Eva doesn’t have much of an appetite either. Now we are back and forth with our star crossed lovers both looking longingly off to the distance. We get flashbacks of all the kisses. Dan wonders what he should do and Eva thinks to herself that she just won’t see him any more.
New day. New plan. Dan is on the phone to the florist. What should he send? Roses? No maybe tulips. Maybe orchids. Light bulb moment!!!! Why not just buy out the whole store and send her everything. Our clerk seems a bit distressed as she has no one who can deliver that much. No problem. He will send his Chauffer over to help. He tells her what to write on the card. I think it said something like this “What you see are not flowers, they are actually apologies. Because of me you decided to leave the house and quit your job.”
We see Francisco carting a truckload of flowers into the pension. The living room is full of flowers. Goofy Marisol assumes they are for her. She muses that if Francisco realizes she lives in the pension and not a mansion and has sent all the flowers that he really does care for her. Ricky states anyone that would send this many flowers really has to be in love. Marisol’s little bubble is sadly busted when Alicia spots the card and tells her they are not for her they are for Eva and they are from Daniel. Eva is left speechless and that is where we end.
Had to leave you with at least one picture. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy birthday Mom!!!

I love Laurita. She and Jacky are my favorite characters. Daniel's easy on the eyes but he's just frustrating me. Can't wait to see what Laurita does with her new information.
Sending tons of flowers? Not very original. The house looked like someone had died.
Thanksgiving everyone. That little Laurita and Jacky have the key to Daniel and Eva getting together. And the Don Julio, Dona Justa, thing is coming together b/c IMO Eva was the baby. and Reneta had something to do with said baby disappearing. (Yeah)Way to go Daniel on the flowers. He might just get Eva to accept him, now all he needs to do is make a clean break with Vicky.
Thanks again for the recap

Julie, I love Laurita too. She really isn't one of those overly hammy little kids. Her scene with Daniel and Jackie at the supper table was cute. I forgot to mention that she scolded Daniel for playing with his food.
Michele in PA, Never thought about the daughter being Eva. I was thinking maybe it was Vicky since Renata and witch lady were once talking about Vicky.
Again this editing gets a little tricky. My notes were all one line paragraphs so I tried to string things together more to make sense. I am sure I left stuff out because I was jumping all over the place with my notes.
LOVE THE TITLE. As a mom, I can't think of a cuter way to be wished a Happy Birthday.
Liked your "maidenly troll" and "wicked witch". Just from seeing the previews I know who both are. Perfect descriptions.
"New day. New plan." Like that too.
And my favorite? "And out of nowhere...."
That phrase could be used for almost every scene change in these telenovelas. All of us recappers get whiplash trying to follow the crazy quilt transitions.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ONE AND ALL BUT ESPECIALLY TO YOU, PATA, FOR BLASTING THIS OUT WHILE YOUR TURKEY WAS CALLING.
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR SWEET MAMA.
Mot much in plot developement, except for the weird encounter with justa and the firing at the agency. Evil little spawn is beginning her web of deceit. (Interesting that Daniel doesn't seem to have much clout at this agency??)
Have to say watching Daniel bothering to pick up the pieces of his letter was a teary moment. So sad...
The tie between Justa and Julio's business is indeed intriguing. I can't wait to see how that develops.
I was surprised at the end of the episode to see that the trailers talked about "lunes." Is there no episode either tonight or tomorrow night?
Oh well, thanks again, Pata, and Happy Thanksgiving to all.
IMHO Maritza? deserved getting skunked by Icky Vicky. Have to admire the way she purposely left her cell right on Maritza's desk and twisted the knife. Icky V is a quick learner, huh? I wonder whose daughter she is? We've got 3gals whose real mother is in question now. That's a good plot development. It could be Marisol, Vicky, or Eva. Yeah, I can see Eva turning out to be D. Julio's daughter by Justa and possibly Justa but then how does Eva's dead adoptive daddy fit in??? I don't have the extra brain cells today to figure that part out.
Eva Luna isn't on Thursday or Friday...I think Friday there is two hours of Soy Tu Dueña, and my DVR says it isn't going to record it which makes me think it will be repeats of STuD.
Interesting episode! I wonder what is going to develop with Justa. Things are starting to develop, indeed!
I agree, that scene with Daniel picking up the pieces of the notes was sad . . . he looked so striken.
Yeah, I just checked my DVR schedule, and STuD is for TWO HOURS on Friday! No Eva Luna! *sob* I have become quite attached to this show. Well, I'll survive until Monday!
Pata, I'm watching STuD right now and one telenovela is all I decided I could handle. But, I miss you, your recaps and Dinero!
The flowers were just so hokey on Daniel's part. After rejecting him the way Eva did, how did he think flowers would change her mind. Maybe he knows she's hiding her true feelings and isn't going to give up.
According to her upbringing, Eva's right to reject him openly. As long as V-ick is in the picture, he's not free.
About Justa--that was quite a revelation to put into the picture. I had assumed after Renata's few scenes with Julio and then fingering the letters that V-ick was Renata's spawn.
Jardinera, you say Eva had an adoptive father--I thought the manzana collector daddy was Eva's and Alicia's real daddy. Justa knows there was something he hadn't told them. He came to LA to tell Eva the secret. Now I can't remember to what it alluded. Maybe you are right, it's her birthright. How nice to think that Julio had his own child. I hope he lives long enough to find out.
This is all getting very intriguing.
