Eva Luna #40 Thu 12/30/10 Gun-ho BimButt hunts Tall ridinghood through the woods

We see Gunho-BimButt driving Eva to a very secluded/out of the way but painting-worthy nature place (lugar muy pintoresco).

Leo enters Gunho-BimButt’s bedroom, he is shocked at what he sees, he spots the bullets box, realizes Gunho-BimButt took his dad’s gun.. ‘It Can’t be!’, he runs out…

Dano keeps on trying to get info from Renata about Gunho-BimButt, but all she can tell him is Gunho-BimButt and Eva left together, and that Gunho-BimButt was in a hurry.. This all worries Dano…

Leo enters Jolly-O’s bedroom, he is sound asleep (must be a heavy sleeper), Leo confirms Gunho-BimButt took his gun.

Renata tells Marcela about Daniel’s calls asking for Eva. Marce says it is the pits. Renata nags that Dan was offended when she would not put Gunho-BimButt on phone or give him info, and she even offered to take a message for Gunho-BimButt.

Leo comes over, says Gunho-BimButt is not in her room, Renata tells Marce Gunho-BimButt left with Eva.

Dano keeps calling Eva’s cel (since when does she have a cell?) but it is in her room night table.

Gunho-BimButt and Eva arrive at a place which seems very out of the way. Eva insists that the place is empty and she would rather wait for the production staff. Gunho-BimButt convinces Eva to get out of the car and look for the other staff people for the photo session.

Back at Misery manor, Renata and Marce keep crossing notes with Leo about Gunho-BimButt …

Dano calls Gunho-BimButt, Gunho-BimButt says she is working. Dano acts curious and hides his anxiety as much he can but he is not doing such a good job at it. He asks her why is it such a mystery about her location. Gunho-BimButt replies we all have our mysteries, things we don’t want others to find out. He says he heard she took Eva with her. Gunho-BimButt asks if he wanted to contact her or Eva. Dano insists he just wanted to know where they are. Gunho-BimButt ends up putting Eva on the phone with Dano. Eva is surprised at Gunho-BimButt giving her the phone…

Back at Misery Manor, Marcela is mad that Gunho-BimButt did not want to wait for her to take action. Leo says she took dad’s gun.. Leo tells Marce Vicky is out of control! Marce asks why he says that, he says Gunho-BimButt trashed her room and took his dad’s gun with her.

Dano asks Eva where they are, but she says only Gunho-BimButt knows… Said Gunho-BimButt insists in not giving Dano their whereabouts and acting very casual about it being a regular photo shoot. Then Gunho-BimButt fakes that the connection broke and she cant hear him. Dano is worried sick.

Back at Misery Manor, Marcela tells Leo that if Gunho-BimButt is planning on going through with killing Eva, she hopes Gunho-BimButt chose a secluded place with no witnesses. Leo has a flashback of their childhood and realizes Gunho-BimButt took Eva to a house/property that belongs to them out in the countryside. ‘the woods, where we have our house’. Marce is very worried that if Gunho-BimButt does it in a property that belongs to them, the police will investigate. Leo agrees with her. Marcela hurries Leo to go there to find her.

In the car Gunho-BimButt insists in it all being alright, wants to talk about her life, Eva’s life and Daniel. Isn’t Daniel handsome? (well, do we need to answer that?? LOL) Eva does not feel like engaging in a conversation about Daniel. Eva asks if maybe they postponed the photo shoot, since she does not see anyone else around. Gunho-BimButt again sends Eva walking on her own, stays behind to get her things and purse and will catch up with her.

At Villanueva manor, Dano talks to Fran about Gunho-BimButt’s dissappearance with Eva, Fran wants Dano to calm down. He does not understand Dano’s anxiety. It is not the first time Gunho-BimButt takes Eva as her assistant. But Dano is concerned this job came suddenly, he has a gut feeling something is wrong. Fran asks if Gunho-BimButt already suspects about Eva and him, Dano says no, but still he feels very uneasy, something tells him he has to go find Eva… Fran is not able to hold him back.

Marisol and Alicia exchange stories about their big adventures and announcements. Alicia says she met a spectacular man who might even have more millions than Marisol’s man… the possible problem is… he is Tony’s boss. He gave her his phone, she called him… Marisol asks if she is sure of what she is doing. Alicia says she thought about it and he is the only one that can get her out of the poor ranks.

At Villanueva manor, Fran is doing same with Jackie. Jackie is surprised he proposed to her. Jackie is trying to build some sense into Fran, he keeps insisting his girl will forgive his ‘white lies’. Fran tells Jackie that she will need to get a nice dress and a makeover because he is going to invite her to his wedding, and then his pockets will be full of money. Jackie is so upset she shrieks when he leaves and takes it on the onions she was cutting up… Fran peeks back and she claims the onions are making her mad/upset.

Back at pension, Marisol says be careful, Tony will get angry when he finds out. Alicia says she doesn’t care. What about you? Marisol tells her he declared his love and proposed to her. They both get jumping for joy in the couch. She is getting married!

Dano has made it to Misery Manor, He anxiously sends Renata to let Marcela know he has to talk to her. Marcela tells Renata not now… But when Renata comes back and tells Dano Marcela won’t see him, he tells Renata she has to oblige to Marcela’s orders but he doesn’t so he barges toward Marcela’s room.

Meanwhile Eva is out in the woods getting lost (doesn’t this woman know she should stay close to where the car is to not get lost?) Gunho-BimButt is pointing the gun at Eva and saying ‘it is your time, Eva’. Just as she is about to pull the trigger, Leo arrives to prevent it and they wrestle for the control of the gun. Leo tells Gunho-BimButt she must be thankful to him for arriving in time to prevent her from doing something crazy.

GBB: She would never notice what I was about to do!!

Leo: Maybe not her, but perhaps the police would! This land is ours! And if you commit a crime they would be investigating us!!

Gunho-BimButt won’t bulge, she still wrestles him for the gun to kill Eva.

Eva is still lost, there is noone here, she thinks Gunho-BimButt took them to the wrong location.

Dano finally gets to Marcela’s room… Immediately asks her where did Gunho-BimButt go. Marcela asks him if he is suddenly interested in her daughter again. Dano is in no mood for games, he needs to find out where Gunho-BimButt went.

Leo is driving Gunho-BimButt back but all she can think of is jumping out of his car to go kill Eva, She really looks like she lost some marbles… Leo is having a hard time controlling her and driving at the same time… (I guess he decided to leave Eva behind and send for her later) Gunho-BimButt is mad at him for getting in her way. He won’t allow her to commit a crazy thing. If she kills Eva, her life is over. Gunho-BimButt replies she doesn’t care, all he cares is that she doesn’t kill Eva because he too is crazy about Eva. But sooner or later, she will kill her!

Eva finally makes it back to Gunho-BimButt’s car and now Gunho-BimButt is nowhere to be found either, she is undecided as to where to find her. She decides to go look for Gunho-BimButt around.

Marcela is telling Dano she is confused about his sudden interest in Gunho-BimButt again.. first he breaks the engagement, tells Gunho-BimButt he does not love her, never loved her, and now he is back looking frantically for Gunho-BimButt. Doesn’t it sound weird? Dano insists that whatever happens between her daughter and him is only of their own concern and is not willing to give her any explanations. Marcela keeps asking why he is so interested and Dano insists he simply needs to find her. Marcela keeps trying to confuse him with guilt trips, asking him if he is not looking for Gunho-BimButt to take her with him to choose his tux for the wedding. Dano says No!! HE did not change his mind!! He will not marry Gunho-BimButt, he will never marry her. Marcela says who knows, Dano… who knows. Then she tries to offer him a whiskey or cognac. Dano stares at her wondering if she herself has a loose screw.

Leo and Gunho-BimButt arrive at the driveway, she is shouting loud enough that if the house walls are not sound-proof, everyone inside should hear them. Leo keeps asking her why do something so dirty, they would wind up dead and Gunho-BimButt in jail. Gunho-BimButt insists she wants to see Eva dead. Leo says if she really wants to see Eva dead, then fine! but hire someone to do it for her, don’t dirty her own hands.

Inside, Marcela keeps insisting all she is after is her daughter’s wellbeing, and Dano says that was never his intention. Marcela claims that her daughter was a happy, positive, successful woman until Dano finished her off, he caused her a lot of harm in the last few days. Marcela insists that Gunho-BimButt is desperate and needs his love to get out of this hole. Dano says no, you are wrong! she is ill (esta mal) and you (Marce) are unwilling to understand that!! Gunho-BimButt tried to kill herself and noone in their sane judgement would try to end their own life! Only someone who is totally out of control goes to that extreme! And he will not keep making her believe they will get married and be happy!!

Leo asks Gunho-BimButt if Eva or Dano know that she has evidence of their betrayal. Gunho-BimButt says no, they don’t know. Leo says it has to stay that way, she cannot let them know it. Be patient. Gunho-BimButt is not willing to be patient. Leo insists that they will fall for their own betrayal. They need to find a way to get Eva to hate Daniel and for Daniel to hate Eva. But Gunho-BimButt is not willing to wait for long and have to withstand what she is feeling. Leo asks her to trust him. HE will take care of it. Neither of us like to be betrayed, right?… but we won’t risk ourselves either. Gunho-BimButt asks him if he will really come through for her. He assures her. Gunho-BimButt threatens him that if he does not come through for her he will pay, and he already saw how far she can go.

Inside, Marce keeps insisting in the guilt trip for Dano telling him she never expected his treating Gunho-BimButt like this, and nags about how much they have done for him and how much they love him. Dano says he loves them too, he has always done right by Gunho-BimButt but lately she has dissappointed him and has gone to such extremes that… Marce keeps on twisting the knife that if Gunho-BimButt has changed and is now crazy it is his fault. Gunho-BimButt was a perfect girl, normal! And he changed her. If she changed it was his fault! He cannot abandon her now. Marcela says she is afraid Gunho-BimButt will try to commit suicide again. Marcela claims that Gunho-BimButt asks him for help and he comes up with excuses to not be at her side. Dano says no way, the only help she needs is proffessional. IT is out of his hands. Marce insists it is, … at that moment Gunho-BimButt comes in. Dano asks Gunho-BimButt where she was. But Gunho-BimButt just gives him a huge slap and huffs away to her room.

Meahwhile Leo has summoned Armando the driver to go to the house in the country/mountain to find Eva. Leo asks Armando not to tell anyone about it, least of all Daniel. But Aurelia heard it all, apparently.

Marce digs more into Dano asking him if he can see that her daughter is begging for his help by her shouting (a gritos)… He rebutes rather by her pounding him. (a golpes)… Marce claims her daughter would be incapable of that unless he provokes her… Dano loses his cool and shouts back at her that her daughter needs psychiatric help. Leo comes to them and tells Dano the story that Gunho-BimButt’s car broke and Eva stayed in the car waiting for the towtruck. Marce makes a smart-ass remark saying it is logical, since Eva is house help (it would be her place to be the one left behind). But he sent Armando for Eva already, so don’t worry. Dano is angry, asks Leo where the car broke. Leo insists that they are already on the way to get the car and Eva. Dano leaves in a huff.

In the happy woods, Eva is still lost…


Aurelia catches Dano at the Misery Manor driveway (she was about to run to his house to see him). Dano notices she is anxious and she tells him she heard something that worries her and she knows where Eva is.

Marce asks Leo to explain to her what happened. Leo tells her the truth, that when he arrived Gunho-BimButt was about to shoot Eva. Marce insists Gunho-BimButt was just defending her love. Leo says what love? His sister is crazy, only a crazy person behaves that way. We already lost her. If he did not get there in time she would have killed Eva. Marce says Eva asked for it. This surprises even Leo (why?). How can she say that?? HE can’t believe she would say something like that. Marce insists she would never allow his sister to sink herself for someone like hungry-nobody Eva. Leo insists Marce do something to stop Gunho-BimButt. Gunho-BimButt is really in trouble and only Marce can end her crazyness.


Armando has arrived at Gunho-BimButt’s car, calls for Eva but no answer.


Marce is with Gunho-BimButt in her room, after the storm comes the calm. During the calm is when we get what we want. She won’t reprieve Gunho-BimButt anything, she understands her. Gunho-BimButt says she wants Eva dead. Marce agrees. But there are many ways to kill someone. You can annull her, hurt her, take her out of the way and watch her suffer, without the need to get your own hands dirty. Less for some ho__ like her. Gunho-BimButt cries, What can she do to get Eva out of Dano’s heart? Gunho-BimButt knows Dano fell in love with her and that is why she wants to kill her. Marce will help her. Marce asks her if she told Eva anything about the photos. Gunho-BimButt says no. Good, says Marce. Remember the enemy should be kept nearby. Eva will be received as if nothing happened. Meanwhile, she will think of something to sink her in Dano’s eyes. Just give me some time. You will see that Dano will come back to beg Gunho-BimButt to go back with him.


Jolly-O is with Max, just woke up from a nap. He is curious that Eva has not arrived with his dinner. Renata comes with dinner, tells Jolly-O Eva left with Gunho-BimButt for a job. Renata serves him his dinner and goes to fetch him his medicine. Jolly-O is mad that they took Eva away again without first consulting with him. Renata repeats that Eva must have been in a hurry and that is why she did not tell him. Renata insists that she can do everything and there is no need for Eva in this house. Jolly-O says, oh yeah? You can do it all?? Then take Max out for his walk. Renata obliges, Jolly-O laughs watching Renata haul Max away.

Armando arrives to the house and tells Leo he could not find Eva. Leo asks him how he expects Eva to make it back alone. Armando says maybe she will with Mr Daniel. Leo is not happy to hear that. Armando cannot assure him it was Daniel but he thinks so.

In the not-so-happy woods, Eva begins to see some wild dogs run around and gets really scared. Then she grabs a long wood pole and tries to defend herself with it. But she falls down and begins to yell ‘My God!! Help!!’

As if feeling that Eva is in danger, Jolly-O is about to dump his coffee in the plant but does not make it, seems to have a breathing issue and yells for Renata. When an alarmed Renata rushes to him, he asks her for water. She insists to call the doctor but he says it passed already, don’t bother. Meanwhile Max is slurping the spilled coffee…

In the woods, someone approaches Eva by shoulder and she turns and screams… After commercial break we see its DANO to the rescue!! She is super scared… she hurt her ankle. He is very conforting for her. She is so glad that he is there.

E: How did you get here?

D: Aurelia told me where you were.

E: Aurelia?

D: I will tell you later. But I could barely find you! Why did you get deep in the woods? Why did you not stay close to Gunho-BimButt’s car waiting for the tow truck?

E: What tow truck? What are you talking about?

D: What do you mean what tow truck? According to Leo, Gunho-BimButt called him because her car broke. He came for her! You had stayed in the car waiting for the tow truck!

E: That is not true! Gunho-BimButt sent me to the forest to look for the production staff and she went back to her car to get some things! And then I could not find her and got lost! Then something terrible happened! (leans on his shoulder) I feel so bad… I am really scared! (Visibly worried about her, he holds her tight to make her feel safe)

Renata is checking on Jolly-O, he says it is good now. No need to call the doctor. IT was just a scare. Or a temporary muscle spasm. Renata insists in calling doc. He gets more loud saying NO!! he tells Max not to lick any more of that stuff.


D: Take it easy. My love, I can’t believe that all this was just coincidence! There is something very strange behind all this!

E: Why are you saying that?

D: I don’t know why I am saying it. But you have had enough happening for one day. Let’s go. I will take you to the car. Can you stand up?

E: No… it hurts too much… ay… I can’t.

D: Hug me. (put your arms around me)… That’s it. Come… (he carries her to the car)

Jolly-O insists he will take his medicine with water. Renata insists it tastes too bad to take it with water. Jolly-0 yells at her to just go and come back later to clean up the mess. Once she leaves he tells himself he will never again take that nasty medicine.


At the car… Dano drops Eva right at the door.

D: Does it hurt much?

E: No, it is much better now.

D: (he is caressing her hair and back) When we get back I will take you to the doctor to look you up.

E: That won’t be necessary.

D: Shall we go? (he holds her door for her)



Armando tells Leo he saw Dano drive over to the road that leads to the country house. Leo gets mad at Armando… and then after Armando leaves he talks to himself calling Dano stupid and calling himself an embezzle for not having gone to get Eva himself. He thinks correctly that at this moment Eva and Dano must be together alone.

At the car, Dano goes to turn the car on and realizes he is out of gas. Eva is worried.

Gunho-BimButt is with Claudia asking her if she remembers when Gunho-BimButt said she was suspicious of Eva being Dano’s woman and Claw thought she was crazy. Claw says yes, I remember. Gunho-BimButt says I was right, and shows her the pictures. Claudia is shocked.


At the car…

E: What are we going to do.?

D: I don’t know. Can you walk to the main road?.

E: No. Why don’t you go on your own and get someone to help us and I will wait here?

D: NO! I would be crazy to leave you here alone again! (she smiles) I think … we have no option but wait until daylight to go get some help.

E: Alone you and me all night?

D: Yes… you and me… alone… You trust me, right?

E: Yes…

D: Good. (holds her hands) Don’t worry. Everything will be fine. I will stay here with you all night.

E: You promise?

D: I swear it to you.


At pension, Alicia catches Marisol on her way to work. Alicia asks why she is going. Marisol says as long as she is not a millionaire, she has to keep on going after the pork chops (seguir yendo a perseguir la chuleta, meaning she has to keep on making her living) Alicia again insists in Marisol taking her to work. Marisol gives the same excuse as always, long night, many drunks, loud music, she would not be comfortable there…

Claw is in disbelief… Gunho-BimButt tells her she was half a second away from killing her. Claw says her revenge would have cost her years of jail. Gunho-BimButt says that would have spent all her life locked as long as that couple traitors were not together.

At car, Dano has built a bonfire. He goes back to the car and embraces Eva and they hear some wild dogs…

E: A coyote!! IT is dangerous if it is close, no?

D: Hey, hey,… I can protect you, no?..(she smiles and he embraces her) Take it easy.



Claw tells Gunho-BimButt it is curious that when Gunho-BimButt was telling her that Leo was interested in Eva, it was Daniel who was involved with her. Gunho-BimButt rebutes that for her information, Leo is also drooling for Eva the ‘naca’. Or why do you think he dumped you? Claw says it doesn’t matter, I got what I wanted. Gunho-BimButt asks what that is. Having his child. Yes, my friend, you will be an aunt soon.This does not seem to go down easy on Gunho-BimButt.



At car, Dano has turned it up a notch, this is major smooching and foreplay at its best… Eva is visibly out of breath and uncomfortable.

D: What is the matter?

E: Nothing…. Why don’t we rather rest so we will be fine tomorrow?
D: No, no,no! Forget about tomorrow… are you afraid?

E: Afraid of what?

D: OF letting yourself go with this we are feeling?

(more foreplay and necking… she stops him again..)

E: Stop it, please, Daniel.

D: Why? Eva, if you and I love each other… and we will love each other forever… for the rest of our lives… (more smooching) … Eva, my love… do you want to spend the rest of your life with me? Eh? … eh? (this opens up Eva’s eyes, she is shocked)

Previews:

[after living a hell, Eva was rescued by Daniel… and this coming Monday…]

D: I want you to be mine forever…

E: Swear to me you are not playing with me.

[The declaration that will change the direction of the story]

D: I need you at my side!...

[the question everyone was waiting for]

D: Do you want to spend the rest of your life with me?

[This is the moment!]

D: Tell me yes (that you will)… (she has deer in the headlights shock stare)

Thanks for the recap Martivett. I posted it for you.
 

Great recap, thank you! I always love when you do the translations of key discussions.

I am still baffled by the old "We ran out of gas" trick. I am assuming that Daniel is supposedly sincere (not just using it as an excuse to . . .*wink wink nudge nudge*), but . . . seriously? He's super rich, but has no cell phone, no Auto Club of S. Calif. membership? The Auto Club would be happy to come out and give him some gas. So . . . seriously? And what about everyone at home, wondering where he is? This totally does not add up at all.

I suppose we can think that they're out of cell phone range, but no. I don't think that there is anywhere within an hour or two of L.A. that is out of cell phone range. So I'm not buying it.

This story is going in a different direction than I anticipated, and it's getting pretty good! I guess I expected (like a lot of us did) that Icky would do the "I'm pregnant" routine (well, Claw is the one doing that) or some other such thing. But this is going straight for the Crazy right off! Should be interesting.

I wonder what the effects on the special telenovela poison drops will be on Max. I hope he's okay. He's a nice dog.

Thank you again for such a great and thorough recap!
 

I am so mad at myself cuz I didn't think it was on last night and the official site doesn't have last night's episodio up yet. So, I will wait a day to comment since I guess there's nothing tonight and it will give me a chance to view it first. I suppose they'll have it up by the weekend? Anybody know how long it takes them?
 

Brava Martavett - some episode last night! Man, Marci/Icky are two crazy brauds. They talk about offing people like it's just a regular every day occurrence. well, for Marci, if we're all right, she's had plenty of experience.

I have to give it to Leo in trying to get Mama to realize Icky has gone in LaLaLand permenantly. He's no saint, but if he's even worried...so I guess we get to watch as Icky works with Mama to try new and various tricks to kill Eva. Meanwhile Leo will be working to get Dana and Eva to hate each other. Fun times.

As for that ending...man the windows in my place were steaming up. I'm thinking Eva won't cave, either that or someone is going to find them "in the nic of time"...which Dano is going to hate.

Happy New Year everyone!!
 

Martaivett--I said at the end of yesterday's comments column that you ought to try recapping and HERE YOU ARE! Great work. Thank you.

The tension is building---gotta wait almost four days for the next chapter. I'm going to read your dialog a few more times before lunes.
Una Norteamericana
 

Great recap, accurate and so funny.

embezzle = imbecile
I thought I was the only one who does things like that. It's hard being multilingual, though definitely worth it.

These telenovelas are supposed to show that it is right to be the good girl or woman, but actually they are like manuals on how to trap, manipulate, even murder. Luckily, they are so unreal that no one would be successful in following their directions.
 

Oh, and Sweeny, love your comment, about the lack of electronic devices for staying in touch 24/.

Shouldn't that monster suv have had OnStar? Dan had his cell phone in his hand when he dashed over to Misery Manor. What did he do with it--he didn't go home again. Be funny if it rang in the middle of an intimate moment.

Leo knows where they are. I wonder if he will be the one to interrupt. Looking at the big picture, Eva, unless she stops things from going too far herself, will probably be glad for an outside interruption. She's had a hard time denying anything to Dan. Her virginity is at stake (not that we care, but she probably does).

About the gas, Martaivett, at the end of yesterday's comments (it's cute), reminded us that Dano had given Francisco money to buy gas and he probably used it for his fun day with Marisol.

The minute I saw Max lapping up the coffee, spelled doom for him or an emergency trip to the vet's. Maybe that's how DonJ will find out that it really is poison. (BTW-OT--I read on Heridas de Amor CarayCaray that the dog, Lucas was really Guy Ecker's dog. Max seems to be the same breed.)
Una NteAm
 

I LOVE the interaction between Don Julio and Dano and also between Don Julio and Max the dog... It is so funny how DonJ treats the dog as if he was a teenage son 'no lo hagas, muchacho!!'. I bet he would use that phrase with Dano as well.
Did I mention that I am totally loving Jorge Lavat in this one?
 

Daisy, I was thinking the same thing about the steamy windows... like in Titanic... wonder if they will go through with it, he can close that suv and they will go at it in there... steamy falls short of what can happen in there...
Mercy!!

regarding the lack of resourcefulness of Dano for not using the cel phone or calling for help using OnStar or some other way, I agree that is a miss on the realism of the situation.
I seriously doubt Dano is doing that intentionally since he knows Eva is super scared and he should be taking her out of there, he could have always run out of gas closer to the city and they could end up in a hotel somewhere... but not all alone in the middle of woods, (granted, that is so romantic a setting but IMO not the right time for it).
 

Thanks, Marta, for the very helpful recap. Your discussion of the scenes with Don Julio and the medicine cleared up some questions I had. When I saw the episode, I didn't understand why Don J. suddenly was taken ill, since I was pretty sure he hadn't yet drunk the coffee. It never occurred to me that he might be sensing that Eva was in danger.

For weeks, now, I've been expecting the death of the plant where Don J. spills his "medicine"-laced coffee every day. I sure hope that Max doesn't get done in by it. But even if Max just becomes sick, that would be a strong sign to Don Julio that the medicine is not just not helpful but is actually deadly.

Sweeney, I too was mystified by the "out of gas" scene. I don't think Dan is pretending to be out of gas, but, as you've said, whatever happened to his cell phone? Indeed, a fancy car like that would probably have OnStar. Oh well....

As for Dan and Eva, my guess is that Leo will arrive in the midst of all their heavy breathing and will try to convince Eva that Dan is still trying to win the bet about who will get her to bed first.

¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
 

Martivett,

Thanks for the great recap, ITA about Dano and running out of gas (?), along with the car having ONStar, it doesn't make since. Oh Well

I don't think Dano and Eva will get to make love, b/c he's not the type of guy. but those kissing scenes sure did get to her LOL. but back to the subject of Dano making love to Eva in the back of a car, REALLY????. the question is who will find them Leo or Franc, since Franc knows he didn't re-fill the gas tank. IMO the little maid will call Jacky and tell her where they are and Jacky will tell Franc, and he will find them. Michele in Pa
 

Great recap Martivett!!!

Which part did Jorge Lavatt play???

Is it just me or is Guy a noisy smoocher???

Ann-NYC
 

Could someone have syphoned the gas out of Daniel´s car...Leo maybe?. Maybe he is lurking behind a tree and ready to pounce.

I also think Max might get poisoned. As a matter of fact, I thought the camera would switch to him lying on the floor unconscious at the end of the scene.

Leo is really slimey, and so is Tony. Can´t wait for the scene when Leo finds out Alicia and Eva are sisters. Why would he suggest Victoria hire someone to kill Eva? Is that just a smoke screen so she wouldn´t be suspicious of his intentions toward Eva?

Also, wouldn´t Laurita, Jackie, and Fran wonder were Daniel was when he stayed in the car with Eva all night? Did they know where he was when he stayed the night with Eva in the hospital?

Alot of loopholes, IMO (In My Opinion)
Anonagainhere.
 

Thanks for the recap. I didn't pay close attention last night, so I'm grateful for the translations. If something happens to the dog I will be very unhappy viewer. I can handle the dog getting sick. Just not dying. :(
 

Jorge Lavat plays Don Jolly-O... I remember him from my childhood yrs watching novelas in his role in Hermanos Coraje... and he is just as wonderful now... good to see him so healthy and active...
 

Martivett, that was a great recap. Thanks for clarifying how to bring home the bacon in Spanish!
I have to keep reminding myself that this TN takes place in Los Angeles. I know that area. You go driving in "the boonies" as we called it, you see sand, not swamps with pampas grass. Sigh. I suppose those scruffy german shepherds are supposed to be coyotes.
I'm with you, Sara, I will be upset if they kill off Max. Never mind some of these other characters, but not the dog!
 

Emarie,
I had the same thought "Why are there German Shepherds in the woods?" Then I realized they were supposed to be coyotes.
 

Yay! I finally got to see the show!

Thanks Martai! You kept the suspense going! Especially liked the conversations --especially the smoochy parts. ; ? ))

Loved the ending there. Is this a true proposal or is Dano getting carried away? Tricky sistuation for our very mistrusting Eva.
 

I am interested in Michele's comment that Fran will find them. Carrying it a bit further would he use the red car to get there and Eva connects with the car as the one that hit her father?
 

Previous comment re red car posted by Kalum
 

Martivett: Thank you!

Hallo, all. I've been watching this TN here and there. As Jar said over on the STuD blog, the TNs can get off to a slow start.

The main story between Daniel and Eva is finally getting interesting. The secondary stories have little to no interest for me which is why I think it has been so hard for this TN to capture my attention.

For me, the Maricela woman has really done the most to keep me away. I don't know...the gloved hand...the lipstick painted outside the lip line...her ugly clothes...ack!

As I am in STuD withdrawal, I've got to watch something, so here I am.

Thank you again, Martivett!

It is interesting about the two subplots of the scheemer running into another scheemer..
here we have three such subplots... first, fran and Marisol... both pretending to be millionaires trying to catch a millionaire to carry them for the rest of their lives...
then we have Alicia trying to get Leonardo interested in her... granted, he is indeed a millionaire... but here the insteresting twist is that she is Tony's girlfriend and Leo is suddenly interested in her too, of course Leo could care less that she is with Tony, he has targetted her and that is all that matters.
But it will be interesting to see what Tony does when he confirms that Leo is trying to sweep his girlfriend...
will Alicia ever even think about Carlos again now that she has Leonardo in her shallow brain? poor Carlos...
 

Happy Twenty-Eleven (fewer syllables and we did nineteen for 100 years)!

I just had to check in today even though I'm in the middle of baking, cleaning and getting ready for guests.

Leo is in a quandry. He's promised Vick he will get rid of Eva for her (suggesting she hire an assassin to keep her hands clean) and give her a clear path back to Dan. Leo wants Eva, so obviously he doesn't want anything to happen to her.

Now that he knows Eva and Dan are involved, he has to figure out how to separate them. I wondered when he told Armando to go get Eva and bring her back to him without telling anyone that he had an idea for kidnapping her. It wouldn't be out of the question in a tn, but it's got to be the red car, once he makes the connection.

Susanita--Marcela, as done up is a piece of work, no doubt. And the wig?? Why do the producers-directors feel it mandatory to put wigs on their older actresses--and if they have to, why such ridiculous ones.

Granted that Marcela is on the heavy side, there are far better outfits she could be wearing--I ought to know. The pants suit she wore to her tryst with Bruno was better. I don't fault her, I fault the wardrobe dept. Her looks must be for shock value--no one else here looks as ridiculous as she does (although I wish DonJ would lose his satin pjs and robes).

Marcela does have a great part--sinister, scheming, ruthless and is a self-professed, cold-blooded killer--really evil--but manages to maintain a powerful social and business position.

My vote for displaying the widest range of emotions right now, goes to poor Victoria, self-obsessed, insecure, spoiled, malicious and now unhinged. She's great to watch.

about the red car, it's in the shop still getting fixed, so if franc comes to get them with gas it will have to be with the orange or bronze car. Michele in Pa
 

question for anyone out there in caray caray land.

Did the private Detective email those pic's of Eva and Daniel to her mother in Paris. b/c I remember that she had hired a private detective to track the girls down. Michele in Pa
 

Una Norteamericana: ITA about those wigs!!! I am baffled sometimes by the choices that the wardrobe department makes...especially for mature actresses.

Marcela could probably be just as evil in some better looking clothes!

Speaking of clothes...how in the world does Victoria manage to make it through an entire day with the high heels from hell and the dresses that barely cover the behind?! How does a person sit down gracefully in a dress so short?! LOL!

Susanita
 

Michele , thanks.

I have a fleeting recollection that Eva saw the red car some episodes back but saw it driving off and did not see who was driving it (I think Dano) However, that recollection is admittedly dim. Pls clear it up for me

Forgot to add...I surely hope nothing happens to Max.

kalum,

Your right the red car did show up when Eva was working in the restaurant, I 'd forgotten about that. But it hasn't shown up yet, and Daniel is always driving the bronze organey one. hum Now I'm wondering is it in the shop b/c looking back at the video of the restaurant scene it didn't look like it needed anything fixed on it.
Kalum, maybe franc will come in the red car. but IMO it would be Leo who tells Eva about the red car b/c it would be something he would do? Michele in PA
 

Michele, ITA, it has to be Leo who tells Eva about the fact that Dan owns the red car. That's clearly Leo's best hope for separating Eva and Dan.

Marta, rather than saying "poor Carlos," I'd say "lucky Carlos." He deserves someone a lot better than airhead Alicia, even if he doesn't realize it. Perhaps either Marisol or Jackie (i.e., whoever doesn't wind up with Francisco).
 

Great recap and thanks.

When in the purple blazes are novela writers going to wake up to the fact that it's the 21st century? Virginity has always been highly overrated and Eva isn't 16 years old.

Ditto about Max. I can handle human characters being murdered but not animals. Unless I missed something during ENDA it looked like Paloma never figured out that Carlota murdered her dog.
 

Good morning. I'm starved for Eva, sorry. I wasn't going to comment--again, but can't help myself. This is an addiction I don't mind having.

About the love nest in the bosque. We all saw the agony Dan experienced not knowing where his daughter was overnight. Now we see Dan and Eva completely unconcerned (via the writers) talking about how worried their families are going to be not knowing where they are.

Dan's household would be worried if he didn't show up overnight, now that they know he's not with Miss Vicky.

And Alicia is going to wonder where she is, too. I wonder if Ali even has her work phone number. I remember Eva called her from the house the day of her "big exam." Maybe she still has the number.

Well, we know that Armando and Leo are the only ones who know where they might be. My bet is on Leo showing up rather than Francisco.

We'd have to have Jarocha clue us in on whether virginity--or the appearance of virginity among apple pickers daughters who come to LA is passe or not. Eva is supposed to be about 20-22 and so far has only had admirers (the young man in the orchard on her birthday), so I imagine she's had a certain cultural attitude against pre-marital sex inculcated as part of her upbringing.

I'm not saying she won't have sex before marriage, I'mJS that for Eva it will have to be for LOVE.

Does she completely trust Dano yet (we got a hint in the avances)--even though she said yes when he asked her if she confias en mi. At that moment, however, they were still upright in bucket seats with a console between them.

Yep, I think she's going to give it up for luhhhv. Then Leo will show up looking for them since Francisco will probably call the manse at Jackie and Laurita's request and let them know they've not gotten back. Just a thought.....
 

did anyone catch the wardrobe malfunction on V=ICKY last night? one side of the chest looked much fuller than the other, the design of the dress with the zipper going diagonally through the chest made it malfunction on her! LOL! i was so distracted by that I could barely pay attention to what Fran and Jackie were saying...
