Eva Luna #4 Thu 11/4/10 Bimbo Tantrums, Marriage jeepers, adoption stories (did I hear BINGO!?) and Promotion Promises

Daniel runs out of car and comes to where Eva fell.D: What happened?? Are you alright?E: I think I twisted my ankle.. It was nothing…D: That was scary.E: I thought you were going to run me over.D: I swear I didn’t even see you!! You came out running from the house!E: Its because the dog came after me! I got really scared!D: Take it easy… take it easy… (caress her face) can you stand up? I will help you… hey you won’t be able to walk.E: No, it was nothing. I am alright.D: Where are you going?E: To the bus stop. I just got out of work.D: I will take you in the car so you don’t have to walk.E: No, no, no.D: Please! It’s the least I can do!E: No, I thank you really, but its not necessary. I can walk. Good night… ay!...D: See? It shows you are hurting… come on, don’t make me beg. Get in the car.E: I told you no, don’t insist. I won’t get in the car. It is not right.D: But why? There is nothing wrong with it! E: I am not used to get in strangers cars.D: For Gods sake. I am not a stranger to you… well, not completely. Or am I?E: No.D: Then?E: But I will hold you back and you just got here.D: Please, that is not important. Now I feel guilty for your fall. And I can’t watch you walking all hurting out there. Besides, at this pace, you will get to the bus station the day after tomorrow! E: That’s true.D: Give me your hand. I will help you.E: Alright.D: You scared me so much! Are you sure you are alright? E: I am sorry..D: No, no…
==============
Bimbo no 1 is crying desperate calling Dan’s cel frantically…
=============
Sister and stud burglar are still at the bar, she is nervous, what are we going to do now? He tries to explain he had to switch pants and left his money in the other ones. He asks her if she brought money. She brought $60. He says that’s perfect, that will pay the account and we have $1 leftover for the guy’s tip (LOL). She chugs the rest of her drink and nags about the check being so much. As they left the waiter tells a buddy waiter that he can’t understand how a pretty girl like her goes out with a jerk like that. The buddy says forget about it, don’t get into it and get to work.
====================
D: Eva, can I ask you a question?E: Sure.D: Why are you so distrusting of people? OR… are you like that just with men?E: Life has taught me not to trust anyone. And unfortunately, even less trust men.D: Why’s that?E: As much as men try to hide it, they only have one thing in their minds.D: (surprised) ah yeah? And what’s that?E: To trick and abuse of decent women every chance they get. (she sighs, he looks down discouraged) that’s why I don’t let anyone get too close to me. … well.. thank you, I will stay here to wait for the bus. Good night, Mr…D: Daniel… Daniel Villanueva… but you can call me Daniel.E: I would prefer to call you Mr Villanueva. There is no need for so much familiarity among us.D: Alright. You are right… E: Thank you.(she turns to get out of the car) D: Eva! I only wanted you to know that not all of us men want to mock/trick women. Especially women who are pretty and decent like you.E: (smiles) thank you. (gets out of car and walks away)

==============

One-glove Mrs witch talks to herself, cursing her husband saying his end is near… she is destroying the divorce papers Julio gave her… she keeps cursing him. In comes Bimbo no. 1 she nags to her mother that Dan is not here yet and won’t answer his cel. Witchywoman yells at her to calm down, Bimbo tells her she fells like Dan is slipping from her hands. One-glove witch tells her that this has always been her issue, men need to have a woman who is sure of herself beside them, that is the only way you will be able to control him! Bimbo keeps nagging, months and months go by and he won’t talk about marriage. She has been thinking that she needs to move on with her life without Dan. Mother says no way… she would be ridiculed by her friends, she would be the target of mockery of all press and society. IS that what you want? For everyone to make fun of you and me? Bimbo says of course not. One-glove cruella assures he Dan will end up marrying her. Bimbo asks her to help her make that happen. One-glove cruella says sure, but you also have to do your part.
===============
Adriancito brings his dinner to his dad… his dad is whinning about all the expenses to maintain Adrian. Adrian promises his dad he will not lose any books or get sick to make him spend more money. Adriancito is excited about the food he brought his dad, even Dona Justa says it is the best meal. But dad only yells at him asking when will Adriancito take care of him right. Adriancito gets upset and cries. His dad keeps on yelling at him and accusing him of being a chicken/cluts. Dad serves himself a drink instead while he watches Adriancito cry.
====================
Dan has finally arrived with Bimbo… he is ready to explain what happened but she won’t let him. She is just happy that they are going out tonight.. love you.
==============
Eva is alone in bus stop remembering her first encounter with Dan, then the scene at the car dealer… then when he walked into the kitchen ‘otra vez ud’… ‘que haces tu aqui’? … Eva reprimends herself for thinking about him, she has to forget him. Bus arrives.
===============
Bimbo and Dan arrive at the restaurant. Eva gets home and does not find Alicia. Bimbo no 2 announces that she and Leo have reconciled. Leo is in celebrating mode and he will treat everyone tonight.
======================
Eva gets ot kitchen and greets Justa (fairlady). Fairlady asks Eva how did it go in her job. Eva says well. Eva asks for Alicia, Fairlady says surely she is just taking a walk. Alicia and stud burglar arrive at the house. He is sweet talking her again. Eva arrives and is mad at Alicia for being with him.
=====================
Back at restaurant… Leo feels great.. the boys are left alone… Dan comments he sees Leo particularly happy. Leo says because Eva is officially working at my house. That means the race to win her over has started. Dan is not pleased. Leo wants to toast to that.
==========
Stud burglar defends himself with Eva, he won’t stand her insults. Eva says then go on! Eva reprimends Alicia for going out with a felon. Alicia defends him as tender, gentle… Alicia tells her about her day tour around Hollywood… then she nags Eva for treating her like a little girl. She wants to live life, not like Eva.
======================
Back at Restaurant, Leo keeps trying to push Dan into accepting the bet. Says he and Dan used to bet on women all the time… Could it be that in reality you want Eva for yourself? (he has Dan’s attention now, but Dan is still not pleased) In the ladies room the bimbo girls are talking about the same thing, the possibility that Dan is being unfaithful to Bimbo no 1.
=================

At the boardhouse Alicia won’t take any more nagging from Eva. Eva says ok, but I want to tell you something. Eva appologizes. She admits she protects Alicia too much, but she just does not want Alicia to go through a heartbreak like she did. Alicia is surprised, Eva had never told her about it. Eva says that is why I worry about you so much. Alicia promises to Eva she will be careful. Alicia asks is that why you have not fallen in love again? Alicia says that is not right, Eva being so pretty and nice needs to give true love another chance. Eva says she would like that.
=====================
Back at rest, Dan wants Leo to stop talking silly. I Don’t want you to play with Eva or with any woman. Leo returns Dan’s words back to him, if you are not interested in her as a woman and she is as decent as you think… why don’t you want to accept the bet which has just gone up to $1K. Besides if I lose it would be a great lesson in humility for me. Dan says alright. With one condition. Don’t force yourself on her or I will be the first one to accuse you to the police. Leo agrees to the clauses.
=================
At the house, Renata and Witchwoman are talking. Renata wonders why Dona Ma accepted Eva to stay to care for Don Julio and without the corresponding references. She says it was to please my son, you know he is my weakness. Renata rebutes yes, you always love more your natural children. Witchwoman reprieves her for saying that. Renata says don’t worry. She is clear that Victoria (Bimbo 1) should never find out that she was adopted. (could Bimbo be Fairlady’s daughter then?) If she finds out, we will both be in trouble. Witchwoman replies not both of us, just you, since you were the one that stole her. Renata suddenly realizes she is still handtied.
======================
At restaurant, Bimbo does not feel like dancing. She would rather talk.
================
Back at boardhouse… Alicia keeps defending Tony (stud burglar)… admits she is beginning to feel special when she is with him, her heart says he is a good man. Next second we see Tony hugging a girl and another lady, quite older, comes to accuse him of something… He plays clueless… the first girl runs out of the scene, the older one tells him she came to collect on what you did to me.
==================
Alicia tells Eva she knows Tony is no saint, and she won’t let herself be swept so easy. Eva says that does not mean she will let go her watching her. Alicia says ok. Wants to know how it went for Eva at work. The money is good, enough to pay the room and expenses. Eva is hurting on her ankle still… But that is the kicker for her to tell Alicia what happened when the dog followed her and she fell… the guy from the massage and auto show… turned out to be a friend of the family that hired her.
====================
The older woman is still nagging at stud burglar… she curses him and pulls a gun on him… he is ready to p___ on his pants. Alicia asks Eva if maybe this means Daniel is the man of her life and she has not noticed it.
=======================

Victoria, Bimbo 1, is trying to convince Daniel to set a date for their marriage. He is very reluctant… he is not backing up, she is lying her nose into the next block saying she can’t wait to become Laurita’s new mother… She keeps trying to get Dan to agree on a date of marriage. But the best she can get him to say is ‘soon’… so she puts on a date, his lucky number, 7, as the date and tries to seal it with a kiss.
================
Back from commercial… nice try… Dan says he is still not feeling ready to marry again. Bimbo reminds him he suffered greatly with the sudden death of Laurita’s mom. She ‘knows how he feels’ but wants to help him move forward. He thanks her… but… (she keeps insisting in marriage)
===================
The woman is still pointing the gun at Stud burglar… he will pay everything she says he owes her… He humiliated and betrayed her. She says he has to pay. They struggle for the gun.
===============
Dan is sorry but he would rather not set a date for marriage… Childish bimbo says she is feeling like he does not love her enough… no its not that… then what do I need to do?... you are everything to me… if I lose you I will die… yada yada… (he hugs her but is serious)
==============
Woman is still in control of gun at boardhouse… she has a very devilish look on her face… he finally realizes the gun was not loaded.. she says I just wanted to teach you a lesson so you will think about it twice before trying to take advantage of another woman… you excuse of a man…
====================
Alicia and Eva in twin beds… Alicia tells her what happened with Don Ricardo and the pimp Marisol’s ex… at the boardhouse earlier… then he got into Marisol’s room. Alicia wanted to call police but Marisol did not let her. Tony told her Marisol has her ‘rollos’ (runs with law) .. .but would not say anything…
===============
At some nightclub/lapdance club…Marisol is dancing at the tube… pimp is watching over a brawl that just started.
=================
Leo and Bimbo 2 Claudia are in bed.. he is having a nightmare about running over Eva’s dad. He repeats ‘if I ran you over it was your fault!’ Bimbo 2 wakes him up and asks him what was that about… its over, calm down… Leo is defensive and leaves her alone. He does not want her to remind him of it or talk about it.
================
At club, Marisol and a friend of hers are talking (Carolina DaFonseca?) The friend says this is our lifestyle… we have no options to change… Marisol says her dream was to be a singer, be famous, have money, be able to help her family… she did not want to end up like this…
===================

Next day Eva is at work bringing Don Julio his breakfast… Mad Max is giving her a hard time but Don Julio calls him a couple times and the dog stays put. At first Don Julio does not want to eat or let her pull shades out… Julio wonders if she will last longer than the others (other ladies who cared for him). Julio asks if she is his assistant or sitter. She says she needs him to take his medicine. Julio asks if she prepared the breakfast herself, she says yes. In that case, he will try some. (she seems to be winning him over by the smile he gives her back at the end of the scene)
=============
At the V household, Dan is trying to get Laurita to eat some cereal… He asks the maid if Laurita is upset… Maid tells him Laurita is sad because she believes he loves his girlfriend more than her.
=================
Bimbo tells Witchmother she was not able to get Dan to commit to a wedding date. Mom says be nice to him and try to get close to his daughter. Whoever wins over the girl will win over the dad.
==============
Chauffer is at Laurita’s school, meets a girl who is bringing her sister. He introduces himself to her, stressing about his surnames, which happen to match surname of a tv celebrity Fernando Conti … she won’t have any.. he says we look alike by the nose… still she won’t have any of it. She makes her exit.
=====================
At the office Witchwoman is reviewing some ad campaign strategy proposal by Maritza, Dan’s assistant. Dan helps Maritza pitch for the campaign to Marcela. Marcela agrees that if we win this account, Maritza could very soon become the creative VP at the office. Maritza is thanking Dan for his support and right at that moment Bimbo 1 makes her entrance… Witchwoman repeats her offer that if the client approves, Maritza is guaranteed the promotion…(wanna bet?)
==============
Bimbo came with great news, she will close the fashion show for this famous designer… Witchwoman and Dan congratulate her. Bimbo wants to go on a diet (I wish there were diets that focus on losing some of your rear end, that’s what she needs).
==============
Tony stud burglar meets up with Alicia in the patio of boardhouse… she asks him for her money back. He claims he has a $100 bill and as soon as he breaks it he will pay her. She says fine.
=================
At school, Dan is there to surprise Laurita by picking her up himself.
===========
Don Julio ate his lunch… Eva proudly announces to Renata. Renata tells Eva she has another task she wants Eva’s help. Eva shows more than willing.
============
Alicia is at school finding out requirements to register. She says Why did I have to promise Eva I would register in school? Now I will have to get studying… She runs into the waiter from the bar the other night… he says he knew he would run into her again. She does not recognize him. We see that Stud Burglar Tony is right behind her observing them.
==============
Bimbos are meeting at gym. Bimbo 2 Claudia tells Bimbo 1 Vicky about Leo’s nightmare and has built a movie in her head.. Remember the day he ran into a tree, the day he had Daniel’s car? Yes… And could it be that instead of a tree, he ran over a person? Rita’s brother came to the office to make a scene for WitchWoman Marcela. She at first believes he came to thank her for paying for the funeral, nope, he is there to accuse her of his sister’s death… Leo comes in and the scene gets real loud…
============
Dan and Laurita arrive at the house… Laurita sees Eva, who is just coming in, and begins to yell at her dad that it is HER!! … she is the woman from her drawing… Dan and Eva exchange smiles… end of ep…
========
Next ep seems Leo is either threatening or daring Dan… Dan says he does not like threats, I rather take them as challenges… Leo replies that little doll will be mine.Voiceover: And another rivalry takes off…Bimbo comes out of shower, tells Eva ‘what I have you will never have…’ and voiceover says ‘Never say never! Victoria!’Dan: I want to protect her, I don’t’ want anyone to harm her.’Voiceover: And as if fallen from the sky, Eva Luna will arrive for Daniel!

Martaivett: Fabulous first recap! Loved your snarky asides! More later. (Sorry for all the divider lines but it was the only way I could get the thing to post this time. I didn't see your info on Pata's site till late this morning so I have put it up here and will post it to the side board for you also. I will also repost your added comments up here for you. Great to have you recapping, amiga!!
 

for those playing the bingo: we got: 'let me take you home', 'I bet you I can have her in bed in 4 notes' (in the tradition of name that tune?),'i don't trust/believe in men', 'i gotta get him out of my mind/heart', adoption stories, baby stealing, the poor newcomer girl winning the heart of the rich old dying man, 'left my wallet back in yesterday's pants', I am a h___ but my dream was to be a famous celebrity...
Eva has guts!! I LIKE HER!!
Bimbo is already getting me tired of her tantrums and its only been 4 episodes!! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

=====================
sorry, a little more detail that escaped me last night... Mother witch said 'do you want the 'prensa amarillista' to have a field day with us?' (I think prensa amarillista means tabloid press).
When adriancito was getting bashed by his dad, he shouted back to him that all he did was take care of him and all his dad did was yell at him, that it wasn't fair.
And Tony did not leave his wallet in other pants, he left them at a table back in his room.

Raul Xiques(don Ricardo, the former boxer in love with Justa)... boy, that is another actor from the days of Venevision Lupita Ferrer (Justa) and Jose Bardina dominance as leading couple (Esmeralda, La zulianita, etc)... some flashbacks back to my childhood days I am getting right about now.

guys, you are all in for a roller coaster ride... I have read synopsis at another forum and this is a huge spider web story... just wait and see...

Don't know about you guys but I can't stand Victoria... spoiled, insecure, aggressive, possessive to the point of being blind and insensitive to other people's feelings...
'I can't stand not knowing where he is!!'
gmab! do I see a teenage version of Marcela Valencia (YSBLF) here?

Wow, martaivett, what a wonderfully detailed recap! You really cleared up a number of points I missed when I watched the episode last night. Thanks very much!!

I didn't realize that the recap was up, since it wasn't in the usual place. I came to yesterday's recap thinking that perhaps there was a comment about why today's had been delayed, but to my surprise and delight, your recap was there in the comments. I hope one of the more experienced recappers can tell you how to post your recap as a recap rather than as comments. But regardless of where it is, the recap was terrific!

Fri Nov 05, 12:38:00 PM EDT
 

Jardinera, thanks so much for posting it as a separate recap. Since next week we won't have a thursday episode (the latin grammys) I will try to figure out these instructions for posting my recaps after that.
And thanks Juanita for the support.
 

I am liking Harry Geithner very much here... he works well as a comical side character... I remember recognizing him in his small role (a few eps) in Cafe (also with Guy Ecker but they did not share screen, can't wait to see them interact in this one)
 

OMG! that Vicky looked like a yellow duck in that dress with her bee-hind sticking out. yes, she is annoyingly insecure.
 

Martaivett: Eva is definitely my kind of heroine! She doesn't take crap off anyone and she doesn't seem to suffer from The Stupids. AS for a spider web of intertwining mysteries --hey, I'm all for it! "rare bimbo smart moment for bimbo no 2 (could he have ran over someone instead?)" LOL! Bimbo 2 wins the DUH! award in last night's episodio!!
 

mrsgallego: "Vicky looked like a yellow duck in that dress"!!LOLOL! She's a real Bimbutt all right!
 

Thank you so much for such a detailed recap, Martaivett! This is wonderful and greatly appreciated. I was wondering what "rollo" referred to specifically in this show and you helped with that, and so many other things.

Also I'm totally with you about Victoria's butt. Way too big for the rest of her. I can't get over that they are making the actress wear a fake butt! LOL.

I am liking Eva more and more. She's very spunky!

Oh, I was so wrong about Tony (stud burglar—I like that). I thought he was just going to be a bit "cheeky" (full of bravado and a braggart, but basically harmless) but he's obviously a genuine scumbag. Well, we have been introduced to Hottie Waiter instead, who is obviously so much better for Alicia (and more of a hottie too, if you ask me! LOL).
 

Martaivett: What a terrific recap. I cannot believe it is your first. Wow, this is one tangled TN, I hope I can keep everyone and everything straight. There are a lot of mysteries to solve.

Rosemary
 

'Bimbutt' - te gusta el palabra, Jardinera!
 

Thanks for the recap Martaivett. It was very detailed and your commentary was classic. One would like you've been recapping for years.

I also am enjoying the fact that Eva isn't a push over. I hope we get to learn who broke her heart.
 

martaivett, wonderful! I didn't watch last night opting for my guilty pleasure of Vamp Diaires, but reading your detail, with exact dialog to boot, caught me up with the whole episode.

and count me in for loving "bimbutt". She must have come out of the same silicone factory as Ivanna on STUD.
 

Marta, just got home from work and read your recap. Nicely done. You have such a great command of the Spanish language. I am in awe of that!!

I guess I was really wrong about Tony. I thought at first he might be a sweet guy, but what a scum indeed.

Thanks again Marta.
 

Thanks for wonderful recap. I loved it.

While we're waiting for Friday's recap, how about more Bingo situations?

The ones in play are great. Here are my additions:
1. Te necesito (as in physically, usually said just before the consensual congress begins)
2. The villain says, Muy Pronto va a ser Mio (i.e. Rosendo--and now Leon)
3. Dead mothers (Valentina, Elsa, Maria Jose-although she was deluded--and now Eva)
4. Gratuitous shower scenes (got one Friday night)
5. Bad Wigs on Men and Women
6. Fake weddings (not the same as Derailed weddings)
7. Galan sends flowers (Alejandro Lombardo, Horacio and now Daniel)
8. Hospital scenes where the machines make so much noise viewerville can't hear the conversations.
9. A priest with a past.
10. Police are competent.
11. Judge convicts an innocent galan or heroine.

We can't add murder--it would be like having a free square.
Una Norteamericana
 

I'm adding those to my list for when I make more Bingo cards.

I didn't get any new squares on mine last night! Just the same ones over and over! Why didn't I pick a card with poisoning and dramatic thunderstorm?

Did anyone else notice that when Eva shoved Daniel into the pool, he nearly hit his head on the wall on the opposite side? That pool is very narrow.

Los Angeles is just such an amazingly small town. You run into the same people everywhere, even if they're super rich and you're a newly arrived former orchard worker.

I'm hoping Marcela's long chat with the officer at the accident scene will come back to bite her somehow. Maybe trigger a few suspicions if they find out how she was linked to the victim.
 

Marta, this is your first recap? Unbelievable! I'm glad you are putting your excellent dialogue translating skills to good use here. This plot seems unbelievably complex and you say it gets more so?

Julia, apparently Los Angeles is as small a town as Mexico City. One hospital, one bar, one hotel, running into everyone you know.


Marta, I'm not watching this one but I wanted to stop by and say great job and I'm very glad you are recapping!
 

Is Victoria's butt real or one of those infomercial push up cheeks? Enquiring minds want to know.
 

julia, I too noticed Guy coming close to bumping his head on the far edge of the pool... He fell at what looks like the narrowest point of the pool... that was close!
 

Pool fall--they probably wanted to do it in one take (or it would be a burden on the wardrobe department to keep re-outfitting him for each shot). Luckily he didn't hit his head and came up wet (yumm) and laughing.

GE does have a winning smile and his eyes twinkle.
Una Norteamericana
 

back in Salome he had to dive into a pool to save the leading lady (Edith Gonzalez) and we were rating his dive as in the olympics.
 

just in case you think i am kidding, check this out...
