La Verdad Oculta EP72 12/28/2010 – Technologically illiterate guys play James Bond and Q


* In Yolanda’s flat Yolanda and Adolfo try to get out of Carlos why the police is so interested in him. He. Doesn’t. Know! Did he do or say anything suspicious? Carlos’s fed up with the conversation and he’s about to leave when Adolfo notices his trefoil ring. He tries to take it away from Carlos but the boy prefers keeping both the ring and his finger. After he leaves Adolfo gives another stupid task to Yolanda: ask Carlos to give her the ring but he refuses to give her an explanation.



* David asks for Dora and when she enters the room acting like a kind and obedient servant, he says only one word: MOM. Dora and Viewerville burst into tears. She begs for his forgiveness, she didn’t know what to do but she loves him completely, that’s why she returned. This time David isn’t mad at the world, on the contrary, he reaches his hand to his mother. Dora gratefully thanks to him and swears nothing will separate them again.



* In Juan José’s villa Asunción worriedly watches as his angry and determined friend leave the house with a camera, a backpack and the intention of cathing the hijo de puta (son of a b****) who blackmails him. At the neighbouring house Roberto shows up looking for Susana but Abelardo and the security guys kick him out of Edoras. Rob has no choice but leave swearing and rubbing his aching arse. Back to JJ’s home: Caramelo, Chicles and Asunción spend the day with painting and talking about Limón’s extraordinary beach stories.



* In the hospital David learns from Gabriela that the two goons died and although Leo got shot, he’ll get better.

* Juan José arrives at Garnica’s most favourite place on Earth, he hides the camera in a nearby tree and then digs the backpack.



* Garnica’s goon (aka one of Juan del Diablo’s best friends from CS) called Valentín delivers JJ’s rucksack to Mr. Slimebag… but they discover JJ gave them a pile of simple paper instead of millions of delicious pesos. Que the hell?! Garnica rages with anger.

* At home Juan José and Asunción try to figure out how to connect Ale’s camera with the TV. They finally manage to watch the tape and they see two men and a helicopter (of course offscreen). JJ uses his rusty brain cells for the fifth time in this show and figures that every plane have registration number, therefore they may find out who sat in the helicopter. But no, he doesn’t want to call the police. He must find that damned letter.



* Asunción and Caramelo watch the TV and talk about the beach trip. Caramelo’d like to invite Chicles, too.

* After being shot, half dead, shocked by a defibrillator and the revelation about his mother, poor David learns another shocking news from the doctor: there may be problems with his spine and he can’t tell David when he’ll be able to walk again. But don’t panic, first he’d like to do some medical tests.

* A literally and figuratively fuming Carlos storms into Yolanda’s flat and says he’s just learned that he has no access to their bank accounts anymore! And he can’t find a job because the Genovéses are too influential in the sector and everyone knows about his problems with his dad. Maybe he should look for his friends in the US. Yolanda objects, no, don’t leave the country! She tries to calm down her impulsive muñeco who is desperate and has no idea what to do. She thinks he should reconcile with his father, please let her talk with him.



* Now that his “useless” son doesn’t manage Sagitario anymore Adolfo has to work for real. He’s about to be suffocated by papers and files when Garnica shows up and restarts his “you owe me much” speech. If he accepts Garnica as his business partner then he’ll give him a very important document. (See, Adolfo? This is how Mario felt 20 years ago.) He tells Adolfo about his cool seaside project which piques Dolphie’s interest – though he’s less than enthusiastic about JJ’s participation. But come on, Garnica thinks they could get rid of that man.



* In the hospital Gaby and Julieta talk about Paulita. Julieta doesn’t mind babysitting her since she’s such an adorable child! She’s like Leonardo. Gaby has a feeling her little sister is falling in love and Juli agrees. Inside the infirmary David tells Dora about his fears and worries. He’s afraid that he won’t be able to do his job but Dora has a good idea: David has an intelligent and wonderful wife who loves him much. But the video… No, they must hope she’ll forgive him. Outside Gabriela continues wondering about Marta Sardíval. Since she was murdered the press must’ve written about her death.



* In the Ávila condo Yolanda tells lazy, spoiled Bertha who the boss is and gives her some advice about dignity and intellect. Btw, she should leave Adolfo’s home before she gets into trouble. Bertha explodes: Yolanda did the same, she was living with Adolfo’s money, how dare she lecture her now?! When Adolfo shows up Bertha complains about “this woman”, but que sorpresa, Adolfo acts like a gentleman for the first time and defends Yolanda. (Which means he won’t get sex soon.) Yolanda tells him Carlos regrets his behaviour and… he can’t find a new job. Okay. Tell Carlos to give him the ring and then he may return to Sagitario.



* Alejandra and Juan José watch TV in bed. JJ’s worried about the letter and Ale thinks maybe they should cancel the seaside trip. No, no, no, no. He wants to be with her, far away from their problems.



* In the tunnel house Fausto is anxious like hell, he has a feeling that something bad will happen. And… and he misses his daughters! What about Abelardo, does he have children? No, and his ex-wife has died. Did he love her? Yes, he did. Fausto also loved Marta, and he swears if they can’t send Adolfo to prison he’ll kill that bastard!

* Gabriela visits a library and looks for informations about Marta. She finds an article about an “actor who fled with his two daughters after strangling his wife”. Boom.

Part 5
 

Haven't watched yet, but just wanted to say I just loved the title Jeri and the screenshots of "James Bond and Q". Cannot wait to watch.

Margaret
 

Wait, sorry, should be, thank you Aribeth for the great title and screenshots. Please corrent if I am wrong, I confuse myself sometimes, lol.

Margaret
 

Aribeth- I love these pics. LOL! Can't wait for the recap.

Last episode David was left impactado at the end, but last night was Gabi's turn to be left open mouth and heartsick impactada. She found out about Faustiago in the worse possible way. They should have told her long ago since they knew she wan't letting this go. And once she saw that even Leo was hiding info from her, she took matters into her own hands.

David took the news of Dora really well. He also took the uncertain news about his ability to walk well. But you could see how much he needed Dora's care and support, as well as her assurance and advice about Gabi. He must know that given how attentive she's been to him at the hospital that she's not thinking of divorcing him. But maybe he thinks she's just being kind. I also like that Dora suggested Gabi could take on some of the business management while he's healing.
 

Aribeth: I burst out laughing - I couldn't decide what was funnier, the pictures or the title. Of course, I am in their league technologically which made me enjoy it all the more! Awesome.

Jeri, thank you for the links.

Vivi: "open mouth and heartsick impactada" - truly. My heart went out to Gabi - what a gruesome way to make such a painful discovery. Her entire world is crumbling...Ack.

I have to say, when David looked at Dora and said mother, I completely lost it. I was crying right along with him. David made it crystal clear he was accepting his mother unconditionally and with complete love. Gabriel Soto has been a revelation.

As 2010 comes to a close, I would like to say how much Caray, Caray has meant to me. I thank all of the recappers that keep this site going and here, our wonderful Jeri, Aribeth and Vivi for their wisdom, insight, time and great care with this amazing story. The commenters bring zest and spark and reading the recaps and comments has truly been the highlight of my day.

If I don't get to read the recap before I leave work today, I will "see" you all next week.

I wish all of you a happy and healthy 2011.

Diana
 

Funny title and pics. You could put my photo up there and I would have the same expression. LOL.

We weren't allowed to see the video, but it seems J J successfully managed to capture a photo of a man and the helicopter picking up the ransom. It was, most likely, Garnica's henchman he saw but, hopefully, he can trace the helicopter's id #. Hope J J listens to Ale and Asuncion's advice and gets a professional involved, either Leo or if not, at least a private detective. That might be a better use of his milliones. But at least he wised up and didn't leave another diez milliones without receiving the letter in return. Good for J J.

I had some problems understanding what spoiled lazy Bertha was yelling at Yolanda. Adolfo defended Yolanda so Bertha needs to be cautious or sugar daddy will boot her out the door.

Add me to the Gabe Soto fan club. He's doing a great job in portraying an evolving David. He comes across as so sincere and finally now, level headed, as David.

Looking forward to your recap, Aribeth. Adding to what Barbara so beautifully stated, I appreciate all your, Jeri and Vivi's time, effort and talent to create so much fun for us.

GinCA
 

Jeri,
I don't watch this, but your screen shot was halarious!!! So had to just comment on that.
 

Looking forward to the recap Aribeth. What a way for Gabi for find out about Fausto. Now she may think her father is a murderer. Tonight's show should be really good.

Loved JJ packing the bag with paper instead of giving Garnica money when he won't give him the letter. It looks as though Garnica is joining up with Adolfo against JJ.

The claws certainly came out when Yolanda confronted Bertha lazily lounging around with her feet on the sofa.

I too want to thank our marvelous recappers Jeri, Aribeth, and Vivi. I look forward to your recaps everyday and you all have a knack of pulling me in with your descriptions that it's like I'm watching the episode all over again. Great job.
 

Yes, I'd love to take credit for that hilarious photo duo, but it's from our dear Aribeth. :-)
 

GinCA- It was an interesting conversation between Yolanda and Bertha. Yolanda basically told Bertha to handle herself with more dignity and smarts and to get out while she still can, before she gets in over her head. Bertha countered that Yolanda's not one to give her advice about dignity since she's living off of Adolfo's riches, while doing NOTHING. I think we got another hint that there is something huge that ties Yolanda to Adolfo (aside from the ocassional smuggling she does for him and the secret about Marta's murder and Carlos' origns) because Yolanda just smirked at that accusation. I loved that Adolfo put Bertha in her place for insulting Yolanda. LOL!
 

About the ring/cufflink:
The way that Adolfo reacted to seeing the ring on Carlos' finger leads me to believe that he thought the ring they found on Roberto was Carlos' ring, just in a new setting. So now that he knows there are two rings, he is closer to finding out where the 2nd one came from, and that it is the clue that was left behind from Marta's murder. He will once again know that David is bluffing (first the photo that is now in the wind along with the shoes and Susana), and won't break the contract. Arrgg!
 

Vivi, thank you so much for the details of the conversation. I listened to the video but couldn't catch it and my midnight tv has no captions but at least it has great HD reception. Love your insights.

GinCA
 

Just loved watching Roberto being thrown out on his backside by the security guards. Then he walked off rubbing his bottom without his dignity, lol. So funny.

So Asuncion cleans the house. Does he do the cooking as well. I was thinking why doesn't JJ hire staff to do the cleaning and cooking in the house.

Bertha was right at home just lying about and reading her magazine acting like the queen of the house.

Margaret
 

Count me in as one who is cracking up over those screenshots! The expression on JJ's face is priceless!

Does Adolfo know about the second ring? As I understood it, we still weren't clear whether Felix gave it to Dracula or not. Felix ripped it off Roberto's hand, but I was under the impression he was keeping it for himself.

Bertha really thinks she's moving up in the world doesn't she? She's gone from sitting on Mario's couch reading magazines to sitting on Adolfo's couch reading magazines. I guess we all need goals in life...

Poor Gabi. The only person who hasn't lied to her is Juli. I think the Stupendous Six are going to have to come clean with her now.

Many thanks to our wonderful recappers and all my fellow commentors. It's fun to snark at a bad show but even better to discuss a terrific one. LVO and the Insomniacs Club rock!
 

Diana, I'd like to echo your thanks to our three LVO recappers, the commenters and to Caray Caray in general. This blog, filled with insightful, kind people has become a favorite stopping point in my day. It is unbelievable that improving my Spanish has become such a joyful experience and I've made so many "online" friends.....thanks to everyone in our Caray Caray ensemble cast of wonderful contributers.

As others have said, that was so very painful to see our kind Gaby find out about her father in such a terrible way, from a newspaper. She must even have doubts about him, at least for the time....Selfishly, I was hoping that she and David would get back together immediately, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards yet.

I hope that whatever has happened in Yolanda's past, it is forgivable, I really like her. I felt that she was being kind to Bertha, she was sarcastic, but motherly in a way, warning her like she did for Gabi and Juli.

Some confusion for me, surely Carlos knows that Adolfo was protecting him by accusing JJ, why doesn't he just tell Carlos that the ring will incriminate them both? My swiss cheese brain has forgotten some details!

More later....(I hope!)
 

Ok, recap is up! Thank you, Aribeth!
 

xln- Adolfo confronts Roberto about the ring in episode 51. See minute 2:29 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbdHd9TfSZ4&feature=related

It was the same episode that Ale and JJ had their hot encounter at the hotel, David and Gabi had their romantic date, the pictures were stolen and burned, Ale learns Mario is dead and Fausto has taken his place, and Roberto gets the stuffing beat out of him. So a lot went on and it is easy to forget the ring thing. :) I think Adolfo just refused to believe at the time that Roberto somehow came in contact with his long missing cufflink at the Guillen apt. He just filed it away until now when it struck him that if Carlos is wearing the ring, then Roberto really must have found the other cufflink. Now he has to figure out the hows and whys.

Sandy- The ring/cufflink has nothing to do with the murder of the maid Isabela (in which Carlos is implicated). It's a clue in the murder of Marta, which Carlos does not really know about (has only overheard the name). So he has no idea why his father wants the ring and what it has to do with anything.
 

Thanks, Jeri!

Margaret: no problem. :)
Our schedule is:
Monday/Wednesday - Jeri
Tuesday/Thursday - me
Friday - Vivi
But when we were pre-empted every second day the schedule was a mess.

You should've seen me a week ago. I bought a media player and I was doing exactly the same as JJ: trying to figure out where how to use the red, white and yellow plugs of that damned composite cable.
 

Aribeth, love the pic you used when King Théoden kicked Wormtongue out of the Golden Hall. I thought of that scene when the guards kicked Roberto out of Mario's house.
 

Thank you for the compliments! To be honest, without Jeri we wouldn't be here. She asked Melinama to let us have the discussion threads, she posts my recaps and writes hers - and she does it after recapping Corazón salvaje for months.
Without Vivi we would've gone mad, it's enough to deal with two recaps per week.
And without the great comments we wouldn't write anything.

By the way, rumor says Destilando amor will replace LVO in March. I was hoping for Para volver a amar but c'est la vie.
 

Thanks so much for your recap Aribeth. Like others, your title and pic cracked me up and I'm about as tech savvy as our friends.

David's reaction to Dora is probably the calmest I've seen in a TN but considering as Aribeth said he's been shot, dead, revived, etc he can probably put things in perspective in ways that most protagonists cannot.

I feel horribly for Gabi. The team is going to have to come clean with her but this may be really difficult. Who will she trust? Will she tell someone evil?
 

Thanks Vivi, I confused the murders for a moment!
 

Thanks Jeri, Aribeth and Vivi for all your hard work.

I somehow have been having difficulty staying awake for Verdad and so I appreciate your recaps, tube links and comments.

I was especially puzzled about Yolanda's conversation with Bertha.

I knew Fausto was accused of Marta's murder but was glad to read about Gabi's trip and what she found out at the news library.
What a shock for her.

Ann-NYC
 

Thank you Aribeth for the great recap.

Santiago/Fausto seems to be the one 'assigned' to reveal all the truths and secrets. From a person who was always on the run, and didn't trust anyone, he sure has come a long way. Although he may well wish that he had been more honest with his daughters now that Gabi is slowly discovering his past.

Poor Carlos finally made the break from his father but he can't find a job to be independant. But why is Yolanda wanting him to reconcile with Adolfo. She should be telling him to leave instead of stay.

Margaret
 

Aribeth, thanks for the recap and the succinct photos that really hit the high points. They were doing a little of the Sorti thing with background noises in this episode, I needed clarifications.

One thing that helped David accept Dora so quickly I think is that when the subject of his mother was broached, he said that his she had abandoned him. It was music to his ears that she really hadn't, she had been there all along.

Margaret, on Yolanda and Carlos, "She should be telling him to leave instead of stay." I agree. I wish Carlos had been able to find a job, his idea of friends in the US was better than returning to the restaurant. Nothing good can posssibly happen there.
 

Aribeth- I love the recap and all the wonderful pics. I especially like the pics of JJ and Ale in bed watching tv. They looked so relaxed and normal (as normal as two extremely good looking people can look). I think their relationship is really growing and in a good place. I hope that Gabi and David get a chance to clear the air soon too. However, she may now have too much on her mind to worry about their marital troubles.
 

Thanks for the recap and the pics Aribeth.

I've fallen behind witht this telenovela again. I'm a little dissapointed that Yolanda asked Carlos to stay. I agree that his idea to go to the US was better but I guess she didn't want to stop seeing him.

I liked the scenes between Dora and David. I imagine that she must have spent all her time at the Genovés house helping him and nurturing him in any way she could. I think everything that has been going on made David much more open to her, since he needs to feel well loved right now and he fears Gabi won't stay with him after he leaves the hospital.

Aribeth: I don't think Para Volver A Amar fits Univision's style. I've noticed that certain novelas are not picked and those usually are the ones that stray the most from the typical formula. I don't think La Verdad Oculta would have been shown if EY wasn't in it. I figure the choice in Destilando has to do with him too.

Jarocha
 

Aribeth, just adding that I really enjoyed your humorous recap and the perfect photos to enhance your recap. Jeri, thanks for the links.

A literally and figuratively fuming Carlos... that's right, he has a bad habit but he does have stress (Daddy) in his life. Margaret, I think Muneco is Yolanda's reason for being besides expensive clothes, lots of jewelry and the green beverage she drinks. She loves him like a mother and needs him close.

Oh, and I loved how Bertha stomped up the stairs in her high heels like a petulant teenager. Does Adolfo want to raise a teenager again? We all know how well that turned out last time.

Will we see an enraged Gabi tonight if she finds she's been out of the loop? They can't let her believe her dad is a murderer. Can't wait to find out.

GinCA
 

Aribeth:

"My problem with Colunga isn't the characters he plays, or his acting skills but the telenovelas he participates in"

I agree that he has been in less novelas atractive novelas than real good ones. Although I do have a bigger problem with his characteres than with the novela itself. Especially in Esmeralda (which I used to watch solely for the Adrián/Graciela romance). I hated how he rejected his pregnant wife because she had been supposedly raped and he feared the child would be from the rapist. I just couldn't root for Esmeralda and Jose Armando anymore and hated how the story forced them together.

I sort of love the stupid mess of María la del Barrio. It's so campy and ridiculous and fun that I can't help but watch it every time it's on. Those weren't the best years of Colunga acting wise though. He wasn't as campy as most of the rest and he wasn't good enough to be the straight character in the midst of the crazies (like Ricardo Blumé and Irán Eory were).

Jarocha
 

I'm considering they might play Para Volver a Amar on Telefutura, like they did Alma de Hierro.

Some of the same cast and from what I've seen, a similar flavor. They both seem realistic.
 

I think that the green drink is Crème de menthe,
it was popular years ago.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crème_de_menthe
 

Hello Aribeth, thanks for the recap. There is something about being at death's door that puts everything in perceptive. David's lack of anger at Dora and his unconditional acceptance of her is nice to see. Fausto could have saved himself a boat load of trouble by telling his girls about their mother.Imagine finding out that your daddy is the only suspect in your mom's murder.True or not,she didn't find out about it from him. Poor girl..

Hanna
 

Sandy, it is creme de menthe. She's asked for menta several times in various episodes, and it's in tonight's recap as well. :-)
 

Thanks, Sandy, for the info. It looks delicious and I think I've tried it but mint makes me sneeze.

GinCA
 

Thank you Aribeth, Thank you Jeri, I miss you all as I only have Willa here in Oaxaca who shares telenovela time with me. Well, at least she will sit in the room where the tv is if I am there. I think I will join in the fun again when i return to NM in March. I enjoy recapping and it jsut makes me all the more grateful to the recappers, linkers, commenters, link adders. Think about all we learned from our time here on Caray Caray. It has been a very good year and I wish you all a splendid year next year full of dreams come true.
 

Aribeth, Jeri, and Vivi, I just want to chime in with how much your recaps rock. They've been a daily bright spot for me in 2010. Muchisimas gracias.

Jeri, that title is lol perfection. I too relate to JJ's and Asuncion's techno skills. If it wasn't for a patient 12-year-old's training, I'd be video-hookup clueless.
 

Oops. Aribeth, loved the title and the whole rolicking recap.
 

Aribeth, Thanks once again; I too needed assistance with the Yolanda/Bertha talk. And I thought exactly like you that Adolfo acted like a gentleman for the first time. It was very surprising.
