Eva Luna #30 Wed 12/15/10 Daniel cancels the wedding/ and Eva “sticks it” to Victoria

We start out tonight with Marcella, Daniel and Leo in the den. Marcella demands to know what the fight was all about. Leo tells her it was between him and Daniel. Marcella insists on knowing what went on. Daniel reiterates it is between him and Leo. Marcella says it took place in public and she has a right to know. Daniel stands his ground and says he has nothing to tell her. “The interrogation is over. This afternoon the notes for tomorrows meeting will be on your desk.” and leaves Marcella turning in disbelieve to Leo.



Jacky is getting the mail when Tony approaches, taking the lollypop out of his mouth long enough to say “listen, destiny must want us together.” Jacky seems confused and says “Do I know you?” He reminds her about the other day when he drove by and starts to pour on the charm. He asks her if her husband is around. She tells him Fran isn’t her husband, although at times he watches over her as is he were. At this instant Fran drives by and sees the two talking. Tony says “well than you are single?” Jacky tells him she is single. Tony quick with the math says “One plus one is two” as they both giggle. Again we see Fran in the background looking a bit concerned.



Julio is giving Eva some good advise. He tells her Leo is terrible with the women. He is crazy for them one moment than leaves them. He tells her “Don’t fall in love with him. I know what I am talking about. Don’t fall in his clutches. (garras/claw or talon)

Marcella is still nagging Leo about the fight. She says if no one is going to tell me I will go find out for myself. Leo finally says “If you insist, the fight was to keep Daniel from breaking his engagement off with Victoria. Marcela says what? Leo tells her Daniel has had his doubts but he is certain he straightened Dan out. He tells her he has everything under control.

Fran is chewing out Jacky for talking to a stranger off the street. Jacky tells him he is no stranger and she will talk to who ever she wants to. She dismisses him and begins to vacuum. Fran yelling now tells her not to come looking to him for help when she discovers this guy is a big liar. She stops vacuuming to yell back “You’re the biggest fraud ever. The millionaire.” and starts on about him and the “professor ” and starts the vacuum once again. This gets Fran all riled as he struggles to shut off the vacuum cleaner. He yells that this is different. Jacky wants to know how and tells him to leave her alone so she can get to work. Fran is left with a puzzled look on his face.

Marcella has entered Victoria’s bedroom. Victoria is all glee and joy as she tells Marcella things worked out for the best because now she will have Daniel all to herself tonight at diner. She goes on to say she wants Eva to help her with getting ready for the night. Marcella tells her she should perhaps bring a special little gift tonight as she senses a little distance between them. Victoria thinks about this for a moment and agrees with Marcella, then asks what type of little gift was she thinking about?

We have some Alicia /Marisol time. Marisol wants to know if she told Eva why she isn’t going to school. Alicia tells her no she hasn’t had time. Marisol wisely tells her she should tell her. It is better coming from her than someone else. She tells Marisol that she asked Tony to get Carlos out of jail for her. Marisol does not seem impressed. Then she asks her about her millionaire. She wants to know if she found a house. Marisol tells her she asked her friend from work to help her.

Back at the mansion we have Victoria on the phone with a friend (I imagine it is Claudia because I don’t know who else would want to be her friend) while Eva is busy pinning up her dress. Victoria is droning on her honeymoon and how it doesn‘t matter where they go as long as she is with the man she loves. Poor Eva having to listen to all this has found a new pin cushion as she accidentally sticks Vicky in the butt with one of her pins.



Victoria screams a bit startled, then continues on the phone saying “It was nothing it was just an employee.” She continues on saying that organizing a wedding isn’t very easy but she is so happy she is just going to enjoy every moment. Eva looks on sadly.


I have some bad news. My disk stopped working. I think it was the picture of Victoria’s butt that broke it. No actually it quit recording after the first commercial as I must have pushed the wrong button. So from here on due to technical difficulties I am going to have to rely on my notes and no more pictures. I apologize and please feel free to add and or correct what I have missed or gotten wrong. At least you all get to see Eva sticking it to Victoria.

Eva has put the finished dress on the bed while Victoria is in the shower. The phone rings and Eva answers it. It is Dan. He tells Eva he is going to break off the engagement tonight at diner. Victoria has finished her shower and sees Eva on the phone and wants to know who it is. Eva hands the phone to her. Daniel tells Vicky he called to confirm their appointment tonight.

Victoria asks Eva to stay and help her get ready. She tells her that Daniel has invited her out to tell her something important but she doesn’t know what it is. She asks Eva how things are going with her boyfriend. Eva tells her she prefers not to tell her about it.

Marisol is at work and we find out that Damien did make her friend tell him about Marisols house hunt. He tells her not to worry he will help her out. He found a house for her to use. It belongs to a friend of his who will be out of town. It is a penthouse. Marisol seems surprised at his offer to help. He tells her he knows she is going out with a rich man and it would be in his best interest to help her so she can pay him back what she owes him.

The big diner has arrived. Victoria is certain this will be a special night. Daniel tells her they need to talk. Victoria says “not before I give you a little gift” and pulls out a set of engagement rings. “I hope you like them?”

The waiter has arrived and ready to take their order and just when I am about to think he is going to back out, he tells Victoria she has to take the rings back. He tells her this is hard for him but he can’t continue with this charade. “There will be no wedding. I don’t want to marry you.” Victoria looks like she was just hit by a bus as Daniel continues on saying “I know you may be feeling like killing me right now and I deserve it.”

At the same time as this is all going down, we have a nervous Eva pacing about telling Alicia that Daniel is with Victoria to break off the engagement. Alicia wonders if he will really go through with it.

He’s going through with it all right as he continues telling Victoria he didn’t want to hurt her. He says it would be a mistake to marry her. Victoria wants to know if there is another woman. Dan tells her that isn’t important. They don’t love each other. Victoria is all worked up about how this will all look to her friends and family. Daniel tells her this isn’t a “social event.” It is important to be in love. She tells him she is in love and he confesses to her that “I don’t love you.”

The pacing continues at the pension. Eva is very nervous and Alicia seems surprised and asks her if this isn’t what she wants. Eva tells her it is but she has mixed emotions about it. Alicia suggests they go do something to take her mind off things and they head off to the movies.

Victoria is still having a hard time wrapping her head around the fact that Daniel is breaking off the engagement. She tells him she can’t believe he is serious. She even goes so far to ask where the hidden cameras are and starts looking around as if she were in some “reality spoof.” She angrily tells him he can’t do this. Every one will laugh at her. Daniel stands fast and tells her there can not be a wedding.

Victoria tells him everything is ready. What will her mother say. (Anyone else out there more worried about what she will do rather than what she will say?) She gets up to leave and Daniel reaches to her to sit her back down. She tells him she is going to leave and take a taxi. He tells her there is no going back now. It is over.

Marisol is talking with her friend and wants to know why she told Damian about the house. She tells her he threatened to fire her and she needs the work. Marisol tells her that it doesn’t matter because Damian decided to help her out and is letting her use his friends penthouse. Marisol is ecstatic that she will finally land her millionaire. At the same time we see Jacky and Fran giving high fives as he tells her the news about Daniel breaking it off with Victoria . Jacky asks if this means to say the “rice is cooked” (arroz ya se cocio’ ). More high fives and fist bumps as they relish the thought of Daniel not marrying the witch.

The celebration is interrupted as Marisol calls Fran to invite him to supper at her penthouse. Jacky’s gleeful smile has left as she listens in. Marisol apologizes that it took so long to get back to him, something about the penthouse not being ready but now it is. He hangs up a happy man. Jacky leaves heart broken and clueless Fran wants to know what happened.

Victoria has arrived home and is furious. She is talking to herself and says “So now it seems like you don’t love me Daniel. When did you figure out you don’t love me?” She has quickly downed a glass of wine and throws it across the room. She calls herself an idiot for planning their wedding. She is in a fine rant as she continues to drink and says something about she will not permit herself to be the village bride wearing a broken gown. (Or something like that.) She continues ranting and roaring and says “I am going to marry you. Or better said You are going to marry me!!! I am not going to let you make fun of me. As of tonight I will have my sweet revenge.” While the rant has been going on we see Renata has been listening in to the entire one-sided conversation.

Daniel has gone over to Eva’s house but is informed by Justa that she has gone to the movies with Alicia. She tells him she doesn’t know when she will be back. He wants her to tell Eva he was there and has something very important to talk to her about.

Daniel has arrived home and his good buddy Fran wants to know how things went. They have a drink together as Daniel tells him about the evening. Fran has a thousand questions. He wants to know what she said and what she did when he told her. Daniel tells him she got Furious. Fran wisely asks if he was afraid.
Daniel tells him the worse part was she was more concerned about how bad she will look to the public. Daniel confesses to Fran that for the first time since his wife died he feels alive. Fran adds and in love. Daniel tells him he went to Eva’s house looking for her but she wasn’t there. Fran seems quite impressed with this. Daniel tells him he can’t imagine how much he wanted to go see her and tell her so that she will no longer doubt him.

Alicia and Eva have returned from their movie. Alicia thought it was a great flick. Eva says there was so much going on in her head she could really enjoy it. Justa informs Eva that Daniel was there looking for her to tell her something very important.

We have a sleazy little moment when some guy has gone over to talk with Damien. He seems surprised that Damian would be willing to help out Marisol. Damien tells him that Marisol has her little appointment at night in the penthouse but it is also at the same time that the owner will be returning. Smiling sinisterly and looking at Marisol while she dances he says “Marisol’s little acting game will fall apart in front of her galan.”

It is finally the next day and Renata asks Marcella if she has seen Vicky. Marcella tells her no. Renata tells her she is a little worried about her. Marcella wants to know if it is for any particular reason. Renata tells her that last night when she returned from her supper she went right to the bar and took a bottle with her to the room. She tells her this morning she went to her room and knocked on the door but there was no answer. She goes on to tell her that the person designing the wedding invitations is on his way. She tells Marcella that she thinks something bad has happened.


A “concerned” Marcella goes to Vicky’s room and notices it to be a mess and sees Vicky sprawled across her bed. She asks her whats wrong. Victoria lies and tells her nothing. She goes on to tell her supper was great. Daniel told her how much he loves her. Vicky seemed just a bit freaky as she continued talking to Marcella telling her how much he cares for her. Marcella wants to know if he liked the rings and Victoria tells her he loved them. Marcella asks her if that’s the case why so much drinking last night? Continuing with her little fantasy lie she tells Marcella she just wanted to keep on celebrating. Marcella chews her out and reminding her how many times she has told her that women shouldn’t drink. It lacks class. She is a famous model after all. She says at least you did it here.

Marcella tells her she is glad everything went okay. She says she was a little worried about what might happen at the supper. Victoria complains about a headache and Marcella chides that’s what happens when you drink. She then tells her the invitation guy is on his way over but she will have Renata call and cancel it. A glassy eyed Victoria tells her not to cancel the designer guy. The invitations have to be ready for the wedding. Marcella seems surprised at this but Victoria assures her she is fine to meet with the designer. Marcella tells her okay and that now she believes her about everything going just fine last night. After Marcella leaves Crazy Vicky thought bubbles “for now everything will go as planned. Until I dump you. And later I will kill you.” as she glares with malice at the photo of Daniel.

Leo is trying to cozy up to Eva. She isn’t none to friendly. He continues to tell her how bad he feels about the whole bet. She tells him she doesn’t want to talk to him.

Claudia has arrived for her two minutes of screen time and Victoria tells her all about her lousy supper. How Daniel broke off the engagement. She makes her promise not to tell anyone about it. We see Eva overhearing the entire conversation.

Victoria tells Claudia that Daniel told her he didn’t love her. She sarcastically says “Me. He just discovered he doesn’t love me.” As they are talking Victoria hears a noise and wants to know whose there.
Eva meekly enters telling her she has her aspirin she had asked for. Victoria takes the aspirin and shoos her away. Victoria is still concerned how “her public” will react to the news. She tells Claudia that for now the wedding is still on. She also tells Claudia in a most menacing voice that Daniel won’t be forgetting about her soon.

We have a brief moment where Eva is alone in her room all smiles. She is saying “It is certain he isn’t going to get married.

Bruno has sent Marcella flowers. Marcella looking at the flowers says to herself “Very good Bruno. Just like a gentlemen.” I had a little taste of bile in my mouth during that scene.

Marisol is telling Alicia that she found a house. Alicia is surprised to hear it was Damian who found the house for her. She seems a little leery. Marisol tells her she was a little leery at first too until he told her why he was helping her. She tells Alicia she has a favor to ask. She needs someone to be the servant.

Julio is up and about with Max all smiles and energy as Eva takes the tray away noting he drank his tea with the medicine in it. She tells him the medicine is making him better. Julio smiles and looks towards the plant telling her he feels better already. (sly little codger)

Daniel is also all smiles at work and everyone notes it. He is getting ready for the big meeting. The meeting with the clients and Marcella in attendance turns out to be a big success and they have the green light to go ahead with the project. Again everyone notes how content Daniel is and Marcella chimes in “Of course he is happy. After all he is going to marry my daughter.” Daniel has a fleeting look of panic.

Julio hands Eva a book on Public Relations. She thanks him profusely. He tells her (I think) that when he reincorporates his business he wants to bring her with him. He has big plans for her.

Fran sneaks into the Arismante house and tells Eva she has to find a way to sneak out for a bit. Eva tells him she can’t do that. He urges her to invent something. But her and Daniel have to talk today.

Jacky tells Laurita she has something great to tell her but she can’t tell anyone. She tells her Daniel is not going to marry Victoria. Laurita all smiles says “Are you sure? Poppi isn’t going to marry that witch?” In that instant we get a scene of Eva dressed in a long blue dress walking towards Daniel on the beach. And we go back to an overjoyed Laurita who is hugging her puppy. Jacky tells her the best part is he isn’t going to marry Victoria because the person he truly loves is Eva. Laurita is squealing with Joy as she pumps her fist in the air.

There was a quick little scene thrown in towards the end but I am going to add it now so I don’t have to cut into our lovely last scene. Fran has arrived at the penthouse. We see Alicia in a scant little maids outfit telling him to come in. Fran looks at her and asks if they have met before. We get a little flashback from the night Fran was waiting outside the pension and Alicia was out there. She tells Fran he has her confused with someone else.

Daniel and Eva are on the beach. He tells Eva he went to look for her last night at her house. He tells her he talked to Victoria and there isn’t going to be a wedding. Eva tells him she knows. Daniel seems surprised that she would know and asks if Fran told her. Eva tells him no, she overheard Victoria telling her friend. Daniel says “well fine at least it confirms that everything I have been telling you is true.”
Eva is concerned about how they are going to do this. Daniel assures her that all they have to do is talk truthfully. Eva is still not convinced and calls Daniel Crazy. He smiles and asks her if she is afraid of men who are in love. He confesses that he is completely in love with her Eva is still leery and warns Daniel not to play with her. He tells her this is not a bet. It is not a lie. It is the most serious moment in his life. She tells him this is crazy.

He tells her yes “craziness of love” He tells her he couldn’t sleep last night because he was thinking about her. He tells her (I think) that if he had never met her he would have made the worse mistake of his life. He was about to marry a woman he did not love. A women he never loved. Eva tells him this feels like a dream and she does not want to wake up. Daniel tells her to open her eyes and believe it because it is the truth.

Now walking hand in hand on the beech Daniel is telling Eva that they knew it from the first time they saw each other. From the first kiss they had. They knew they were in love. They were just afraid to tell each other. Than he says “that’s how it was right?” And we fade away with music and hesitation at first and then a very long kiss.

You must have a memory like a steel trap! This was great! You captured all the romance, amiga!

I had "a little taste of bile in my mouth" throughout! I have visions of a fake pregnancy in Ick-toria's and Dano's future.

I'm also wondering if Francisco took Eva to a dress shop in between cuz how else did she think to get such a glam dress for the beach walk?
 

Thanks Pata, I had to miss bits and pieces of Eva because of a phone call - pesky friends... haha.
You filled everything in for me, so appreciate it.

So crazy Icky, who already crossed the line with Sabine, has both feet into the world of crazy bitch. Perish the thought what she's going to come up with - plus continue with the charade of wedding prep. Thank goodness Eva overheard that conversation with Claws, otherwise whe would have immediately assumed Dano was lying.

This whole fran/Marisol thing has got to implode real soon. It's just getting stupider all the time. I'm sort of at a loss at how these two think this can keep stretching out without it back-firing big time.
 

Good morning. My memory is horrid. I jsut type really fast while I am watching. My notes are always such a mess though that it is nice to go back and watch on my disk and refine my notes. However while I was watching and typing last night I inadvertanly hit the off button istead of the pause button on my DVD writer. Didn't realize it till it was to late and thought I could just finish up with my notes. When I got to the romance part I realized there was some good stuff I had missed I went downstairs and wrote up notes from my Direct TV recording. (I record to DVR player downstairs but didn't record to disk.)

Kalum, it looks like you got your CC3 to work. I have given up on mine working. That's another reason I don't write to disk down stairs.

Victoria was just scary crazy last night. Her eyes were just blazing with evil and lunacy. We could have called last nights episode "Evil Lunacy" last night instead of Eva Luna.
 

great recap, pata! I can't wait to get started on my recap tonight, given the previews we got... Dano and Eva have a great day together into the night, he takes her for a fashion show makeover... while Marce and Vicky figure out a 'plan' that seems to have to do with a fake suicidal overdose by Vicky from what we get to see. meanwhile Eva can only think of Vicky... (Come on woman! so what if you are dreaming!?? Enjoy it while it lasts!!)
 

Thanks so much, Pata. My recording apparently missed the first five minutes or so, so your recap was all the more needed. Loved your "At least you all get to see Eva sticking it to Victoria." Your sense of humor didn't desert you even in the midst of your finding you pushed the wrong button.

Jardinera, I hope you're wrong about the false pregnancy. Have you been watching STuD for too long? Can Univision really run two novelas with that same plot element at the same time?
 

btw, Eva asked Dano how HE did it and he said the only way he knew how, by being truthful and coming out with the whole truth (well, except the little detail that the 'other woman has a name' jeje)

Also, when Fran came to get Eva at the end of that kitchen conversation he told her that she should change, she nodded in agreement and they looked at each other, so I bet they had a quick dress pickup stop along the way to the beach.
 

The fake pregnancy possibility is such a novela staple I can't decide whether Univision will fall into that trap or try to avoid it some other way. How about a compromising situation?

I dearly hope Icky Vicky doesn't get it into her head to murder the puppy. She's crazy, but is she that vicious?

Daniel better start forming his own company because he's going to be collecting unemployment soon.

Marcela will definitely get payback for that, though. Bruno is going to have that honor. I guess it will be worth his efforts.
 

Thanks for the recap Pata. Sorry about your tech mishap but you covered everything well.

I was surprised Dan actually went through with the break up; I just knew there would be delays. Seeing Icky go to more crazy seems to seal her fate and block the possibility of redemption. If she takes out the puppy, well I prefer not to think about that.

Marisol, even air for brains Alicia was leery of Damien's offer. How can you be so blind?
 

Re a false pregnancy. I doubt they have had sex recently as Dano hasnt been able to make cositas with Icky lately

Puleeze, will las policia arrive soon to arrest Icky.

Great recap. We got to really enjoy an episode for a welcome change.

Kalum
 

WOW Pata

you got all that from notes and memory great job on this recap. I do like the pic's you were able to include. The CC's where horrible last night. ITA with Jardinera I too see a fake pregnancy in Icky-Vicky future, to trap Daniel into the marriage. I was glad to see that Daniel took her to a public resturant for his talk, b/c I feel sure that the way Icky-toria was acting last night he was a goner. SO SO SO glad he followed through with call off the wedding.
What the heck is wrong with Marisol taking or even believeing anything Damion says. (stupid girl) Michele in PA
 

Good point about Daniel's inability to get it on with Vicki. I guess his johnson listens to his conscience.
 

But between Marcela,and Vicky you can bet you fake butt,that the writers have something that's going to piss everyone off, to seperate these two people. besides it's to early in TN land for anything nice to be resolved yet. Michele in Pa
 

Goodness just a thought here, but wouldn't it be grand if Daniel got someone else with child tonite. after all as Urban Anthropologist said he hasn't been with Vicky in a while, So he's ripe (HUM) Michele in Pa
 

Brilliant recap and from memory, too, Pata. Great admiration for the detail--especially the scenes between Dan and Eva and V-icky's meltdown at the restaurant and later at home.

The Marisol/Alicia juego. I've seen a similar story line in a movie and can't remember what or where. I hope it's hilarious--just to relieve the tension that will hit the fan when Leo, Marci and V-icky find out Eva and Dan are going to be an item.

I'm very concerned that Jacky is going to find herself drawn into Tony's math game. More stuff will hit the fan if (or when) she finds out Alicia is also in Tony's math calculations, now 1 + 2 = 3. At least Jacky has Fran--although he's threatened not to come to her rescue, should she need it.

Leo is sure to figure in all this, if he sets his eyes on Alicia, not knowing who she is.

Over on STuD, someone (an anonymous) called Ivana a malignant narcissist. I think it also fits V-icky perfectly. Both have a one-track mind when it comes to their love object and subscribe to the "if I can't have you nobody will" school of love.
Una Norteamericana
 

Love your funny asides, Pata. Like when you imagined that the friend Vicky must be talking to on the phone was Claudia..."because who else would want to be her friend?".

And later, "Claudia has arrived for her two minutes of screen time".

As for Victoria getting speared in the butt, even without watching this, I noticed she has an impressive "trasero"....whether natural or implants, don't know, but it would be easy to hit with a pin I'm sure!

Sorry for your technical problems. I stopped taking notes on the computer when I hit the wrong button and somehow erased all my notes completely one night. After that, went back to hand-scribbling.
 

Wonder if all TN are like this; where the wardrobe department and Set director matches Eva's blue dress( which just materialized out of know where) to match Daniels blue shirt ( which he must have went home to change into, I didn't even know he'd left the office last night), with the blue water. Bruno sure does like purple or lavender, b/c I notice when he was getting ready for his hot nite with Marcela, his bedroom blanket and shirts we're all tones of lavender or was it my TV ( It really looked like a ladys bedroom not a mans) Although I did like his bed alot, the set up reminded me of something very feminine.Michele in PA
 

Thanks for the fun recap of last night's Evil Lunacy.

I was impressed Daniel went through with the breakup in a direct and firm manner. I hope Eva tells him what she overheard...he's got to be prepared for the backlash. Now would be an excellent time for him to resign and start his own agency. Maybe under a fake name and wearing a disguise.
 

GREAT recap! Wow, you got everything perfect! Loved the lines about sticking it to Victoria!

Yeah, I was shocked, shocked, SHOCKED that Danny actually went through with it. I was yelling at the screen a few times, cheering him on or urging him to cough it up. I was preparing for days and days of dithering and delays. How refreshing to see him decisively follow through. But I think if he hadn't, Viewerville would have really started to get very disgusted with him. We've already been screaming at the screen at him several times too many due to his cluelessness with Icky.

Oh yeah, Vicky is going to do something to mess everything up. This is telenovela-land! That is why I'm glad we're getting our kissing in water scene (another box checked on TN bingo!) and a little happiness first.

No, Danny and Icky haven't been horizontal for a while (funny observation from Urban Anthropologist about Daniel's other part of the anatomy having a conscience! LOL). Though I don't put it past Icky to play the pregnancy card. I think that we have been reminded that they haven't gotten it on for a while because how wrong would it be for Dan to be sleeping with his GF while simultaneously mooning over Eva. So I don't know how long it's been in Telenovela-time, but I'm guessing at least a month or something?

I wondered if the scene with the work meeting, showing how impressed the clients were with Danny, was meant to remind us of how important he is to that business. He just sealed an important deal. Will Marcella be willing to give him the sack? He seems valuable to them.

Amusing bit with Tony (who seems to be hitting the lollypops again) and Jacky. I sense that Jacky could take or leave Tony, but just wants to rile Francisco. Good for her and I hope she knows to not take Tony too seriously.

Oh yeah, when even ALICIA is sensing something is wrong, then you know something is wrong. Marisol, get a clue! Damien's offer is not legit!

Looking forward to tonight's episode!
 

I was biting my nails wondering if Daniel would actually wimp out again. I did a little victory dance when he told Icky she was toast.
 

I too would have sworn Dano would NOT go through with it and was VERY HAPPILY surprised... (happy dance) regardless what happens next I am looking forward to tonight's ep
 

Wow, great comments today. Thanks everyone for all the kind words.
So was anyone else blown away by the kiss at the end last night? They are going to need to get a room fast!! especially since Marcella and Vicky will be teaming up to make sure the happiness does not last long.

I really loved Laurita and Jacky's reaction as well to the news that Daniel broke it off with the "witch".
 

I thought fake pregnancy was an absolutely required TN plot element and written into all contracts! LOL!

Audrey
 

Oh - I forgot to add that I was VERY, VERY impressed with the break-up scene. I'm glad I didn't miss it. Very well written and well done - not clichéd in any way. I kept expecting the Daniel character to back down. (Well, he's been so blind and wimpy up until now I didn't really believe he'd finally grown a pair - LOL!). But, no, he was so patient and so firm and didn't fall for any ick-vicky ploys that for a moment there I thought maybe I wasn't even watching a telenovela! LOL!

Audrey
 

Oh - and I expect full assault on foiling any of Daniel's happiness by Vicky et. al. You better believe it! What else is this novela about?

Not sure how much Marcela/Victoria/Leo villainy I can handle watching though. They are each particularly loathsome - especially Vicky thinking nothing about defacing another woman and afterwards - so what if she got the wrong one - that was SOOOO evil!

Audrey
 

Pata, thanks for the great recap. The comments have been priceless.

It is interesting that Julio is going to reorganize the company and that Eva will be a part of that reorganization. I guess he thinks she is more than a pretty face.

Rosemary
 

Audrey: "I thought fake pregnancy was an absolutely required TN plot element and written into all contracts!" /"...he was so patient and so firm and didn't fall for any ick-vicky ploys that for a moment there I thought maybe I wasn't even watching a telenovela!" --Spoken like a true telenovela addict! You get an ITSA today!
 

An observation on the de rigeur fake pregnancies. It seemed so easy for Francisco to think quick and use that about himself to save Dano from an uncomortable situation. Pregnancies do seem to be used frequently to meter good folks in trampas. How many tns have we watched where there hasn't been one. (Well, Sortie's were real.)

I don't think Eva will do any horizontal cositas with Dano until they are either just days away from the altar or just despues.

If things get difficult with V-icky, wouldn't it be clever for Eva, Dano and Francisco to cook up a fake pregnancy together so Dano will have to marry Eva sooner rather than later.

On the other hand, these days we have savvy villains (especially Marcie) that will demand a pregnancy and DNA test at the same time.

Thanks Michele for the image of the blue. I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it.

About that kiss on the beach. It was about as real as it could get--I even thought I caught Daniel's tongue doing a little dance.

Too bad it seems that tonight's episode will spoil their pure joy after a few more moments on the beach. Yay for the kissing in the water scene.
Una Nte-Am
 

Una Nte-Am. I sort of thought the same thing about the tongue action last night but I didn't say anything in case I was wrong. If they replay that scene tonight I will definelty pay closer attention.
 

Si, per no cascadas?

Icky wouldn't want to actually be preggers and wreck her figure, but faking it sounds like a stretch unless she goes into hiding and plants a spy.
 

I definitely thought there was some tongue action! I was surprised because they usually don't do that for television shows. Maybe they're just better at faking it than most actors. Either way, they certainly don't hold back. Every time they kiss, they go for the gusto.
 

Vicky's the sort who wouldn't get pregnant, but would fake a pregnancy as long as possible, insist on getting married while she was "still thin" to look good in a wedding dress and trap her groom, then at the point she would have to be showing, she'd fake a miscarriage, then she would fake being so absolutely distraught and brokenhearted that her prey could never be so callous as to abandon her in that state.

I'd like to think Dano would never believe her, but weren't they actually bumping little cars (Ganchoism) in the very first episodes? He just might fall for such a thing.

Surprise us, Looneyvision, and go a different direction.
 

Timeframe: It would take 4 months for a skinny broad like Icky to "show" so, saying they hadn't fooled around together for a couple months or so, she could still fake a pregnancy for a while --and get "her man" to the altar in time and never skip a beat.
 

Eva, Eva! you missed the spot! you should have aimed that pin at the center of each buttock to pop the Butter-Ball silicone balloons Bimbutt has had in there for so long... just wear a full size face mask in case you do hit the spot next time and it splatters right back in your direction.
 

Since my recap is not up yet, I will post here the Dano/Eva parts.
Repeat scenes of last night:
VEEkEE: Now it turns out you don’t love me Daniel. You suddenly realized you don’t love me. (GULP!) You just made a huge mistake. You will not leave me as a stood up towns bride.(vestida y alborotada como novia del pueblo)! I will marry you!! … (GULP GULP) or rather… You will marry me!
Fran: The only woman you deserve… with all due respect… is Srta Eva. (Dano smiles ear to ear)
VEEkEE: For now everything must stay as it was… until I leave you… and then I will kill you.
Dano: I spoke to VEEkEE! I told her! There will be no wedding!
Eva: I think you are crazy.
Dano: Totally. I am in love…

Dano: Since the first time we kissed… we realized we were in love… just that we were afraid to say it… it was like that, right? (SMOOCH!!... wet and looooong!)


(and tonight)… (I am going to keep Fran/Marisol/Ali scenes together, and Dano/Eva scenes together for sake of not making you all dizzy because the swapping back and forth was very annoying)


Back to the lovebirds by the edge of the water…
Dano: This is love, Eva.
Eva: Are you sure?
Dano: Completely. But know what?
Eva: What?
Dano: There’s something missing. We have to baptize this love and there is nothing like sea water to do it. Come! (she is more than willing to comply, they laugh as they race into the water holding hands… once in the water, Dano turns it up a notch to include her neck… she keeps going back and forth between giggling like a kid and getting delirious)

… now laying in the sand totally wet, he is looking down at her, caressing her.
Eva: I am afraid this is a dream and soon will pass.
Dano: I am sorry to dissapoint you… it is really happening…
Eva: I am afraid, Daniel…
Dano: Shhh shhh… no need to feel fear.
Eva: What will happen now?
Dano: The logical thing… a kiss… another kiss… (more smooching/hugging laying on sand)

Eva: The day I met the sea you came to me…
Dano: I remember perfectly…. I have an idea.
Eva: What?
Dano: we are going to keep this going… just follow me.
(she again is happy to oblige holding his hand)

At a boutique, the employee wants to send them away since they are wet but Dano uses a credit card to ‘skip the rules’ and promises he will make their exception worthwhile. The employee is more than happy as if the credit card said ‘no charges under $10,000 allowed’. Dano asks the employee to fetch a makeup artist and hair stylist for Eva.

Eva is getting the red carpet makeover treatment at the boutique…

Eva is modeling some of the store’s exclusive gowns to dano, he does not seem to feel great about the ones we get to see, but then there is one more we don’t get to see that he seems to like very much, she is elated that he is so excited about that one.

Dano is picking out a suit to go along with Eva for the dinner date…
 

At a very pretty outdoor restaurant setting, Dano and Eva order drinks, of course Dano orders the best champagne of the house…
Dano: You look gorgeous.
Eva: You too… (preciosa) … (she laughs and corrects herself) you look handsome. … this restaurant is beautiful… like a fairy tale…
Dano: A fairy tale that has just begun. IT is our love story.
Eva: I am afraid I will wake up and realize it was just a dream… and I am afraid you will wake up and realize that I am not the woman you deserve…
Dano: Noooo… the issue is to figure out if I am the man YOU deserve. (they just stare at each other lovingly)

Dano: I want to know more about you.
Eva: My life is so simple, I would doubt it is interesting.
Dano: Don’t say that. I am interested in anything about you. And I want to get to know you better… and that you get to know me.
Eva: Lets do this… you ask and I will answer.

Dano: Why don’t you tell me about your parents?
Eva: That is not a happy story. My dad got run over by a car a few days after we got to L.A. and the jerk ran away.
Dano: I am so sorry… My parents too died in a car accident, and up to now, they have not been able to find out who is responsible.
Eva: But I will find the man who ran him over. And I will demand justice.
Dano: I hope so… And your mother?
Eva: She abandoned us a few months after my sister was born. I was very little.
Dano: And you have not seen her since?
Eva: No. My dad told us that she had left for the U.S. with another man. So for me it is like she were dead.
Dano: I am so sorry.
Eva: Why don’t we change the subject?... how is Laurita?
Dano: Laurita is great. She wants you to come by the house again.
Eva: She is a very lovely girl… And the puppy?
Dano: Aaay, that puppy has me going around very jealous… Since you gave it to her.. .she pays no attention to me!...
 

Eva: Daniel.. I really don’t want to think the worst, but… I am very fearful.
Dano: (holds her hand) You insist in that fear… why?
Eva: Because of what is to come… and the consequences… what will happen with VEEkEE? (Dano looks down sighing since he does not have a good answer for that)

Dano: You have no idea how difficult it was to talk to VEEkEE last night.
Eva: Did you tell her that you and I…
Dano: No, no.. I told her what I had to tell her. That I don’t love her and that we can’t go on like this, even less get married. Did you see her today?
Eva: Yes. She asked me for a couple aspirin and then I heard her talk to her friend. But as much as I think about it… I feel very guilty, I feel very bad!...
Dano: You don’t have a reason why you should feel bad. My breaking up with VEEkEE was going to happen sooner or later! Before or after the wedding, with or without you around!
Eva: Yes, but you and her were engaged for a long time.
Dano: Well, yes. IT was an engagement we got used to. With time, it became an agreement. With time, everyone got the expectation we would get married. And that is why she asked me for a few days to tell her family. And then I will talk to her.
Eva: And I with Don Julio. You don’t know the fear I get about that. What will he think about me?
Dano: No, no. I will be there to support you. I will assume all responsibility.
Eva: Are we doing the right thing?
Dano: Yes, Eva… YES!... From my side, I am glad I armed myself with valour to confront myself,… and look at me! I am without mask.. in front of the woman I really love (she smiles lovingly)… Eva, you should not go back to work at that house.

Eva: No, I cannot quit my job. I want to keep working for myself and for my sister.
Dano: I was not referring to that. (holds her chin) I knew you would never accept that. But meanwhile, you could care for Laurita. (she smiles) That would give you two a chance to get to know each other better. And while she is at school, you could register in college and complete your studies. I would like to support you in all your dreams.
Eva: Well right about now I am living one of them.
Dano: Ay, Eva… I love you… God brought us this moment to be together and that is all that matters. Don’t get yourself all worked out anymore… this is our night.

(at a very pretty low light gazebo)
Dano: I want you to only think in our love. All you have to do is let yourself go. (they dance slowly and hug and caress a lot…)

Fran is desperate to hear Mari say she feels something for him, he is even massagging her shoulders and caressing her face… Mari says she too is in love with him. Another kiss.

Back to gazebo lovebirds… he hugs her from behind… swooning her…
Dano: Let yourself be guided by my arms forever…

Mari tells Fran when her parents left she was left all alone in the world.

Now lovebirds are walking by edge of small lake
Dano: Know what? There was once a man…
Eva: And who was him?
Dano: A man who was desperate to tell everyone that at this moment he was very happy.
Eva: Why?
Dano: Because he had beside him the woman he had always dreamed of.
Eva: Who was she?
Dano: She was a woman with an undescribable beauty… He would tell everyone who walked by: ‘see this beautiful woman? One day she will love me as I love her already. I will not let her leave my side ever. I want her by my side forever.
 

sorry, a little bit of a correction on the first section there...
Eva: I am afraid this is a dream and is not really happening at all.
Dano: I am sorry to dissapoint you… it is really happening…
Eva: I am afraid, Daniel…
Dano: Shhh shhh… no need to feel fear.
Eva: What will happen now?
Dano: The logical thing… a kiss… another kiss… (more smooching/hugging laying on sand)

Eva: The day I met the sea you came to me…
Dano: I remember perfectly…. I have an idea.
Eva: What?
Dano: and we are going to do that this very moment.
(she again is happy to oblige holding his hand)
 

Martaivett,

Did Marcella Kill Vicky?

and thank you for the conversations of Eva & Daniel.Michele in PA
 

Michelle, it sure looks like Death-row Madame truly believes she added VEEkEE to her list of bodies... not sure if she is actually dead, but certainly it looks like her intention was to kill VEEkEE to blame it on Daniel and avoid the social scandal pointed at her household.
 

Martaivette, thank you. I was swept away by the sea scenes and couldn't get all the dialog. Loved it.

Has anyone else noticed, or did I miss it--Eva has never once actually told Dan she loves him--either Te Quiero or Te Amo. He's been doing all the amor talking.
Una Norteamericana
 

Michele--Although I think Mama wouldn't stop at killing anyone in her way; I think she would stop at doing in Vicky.

I think her strategy is the Juliet poison potion--seems dead but isn't. Then she can be rescued in time to be saved--and blame DanDear.

Remember she specifically asked Renata to check on V-icky before retiring, knowing observant Renata would see the pill bottle.

The scene between Marcie and Vicky when Marcie got the real story of the break-up almost made me feel sorry for Vicky. Her mother made her what she is.

Marcie doesn't know that Vicky has her own strategy for vengeance which is different from the one Marcie is going to orchestrate.
Same Norteamericana
 

Thanks Martaivett and Norteamericana, for giving me other idea's on Marcela b/c I was going to stop watching this TN, if she killed Vicky( I don't like vicky but at least she needs a chance to find out who her real parents are). I mean Vicky's a stage 1 or stage 2 bad girl, where Marcela is Stage 10+ on a scale of 1-10. Michele in PA
