Eva Luna #26 Thu 12/9/10 The (nervous) young and the restless... and the jealous... and the evil...

This post is from Marta

We get a repeat of Leo teasing Eva asking her if she came because of Laurita or because of Dano… Eva replies very firmly ‘honestly, I came for her, only for her.’ And walks away, leaving Leo with a concerned smirk whispering to himself ‘I hope so’.

Fran on phone with Marisol… what happened the other day? Left me waiting. She comes up with nonesense excuses. Did you have a problem? Well, not exactly but will tell you about it later. Justa comes over and calls her Marisol, Marisol tells him Justa is her aunt, to Justa’s amazement… Marisol makes up an excuse about her aunt having a crisis. Fran is confused hearing her referred to as Marisol. After hanging up Marisol is jumping for joy because Fran did not dump her. Justa confronts her and tells her she has a visitor… none other than Damian the pimp. Justa is not happy with him not waiting outside as she had asked him. Marisol has to agree to see him alone. (at a later scene) Damian demands that Marisol come back to the club. She is fed up with the drunk men there, he says you have no choice. She says you are wrong, soon my dreams will come true, I will pay you out and get out of your way forever. He says be careful, there are dreams that become nightmares. He will wait for her tonight (at the club)

Marcela on her own drinking wine and remembering Bruno. (at a later scene Bruno arrives) Bruno asks if she is alone, yup, she teases him asking if he intends to get intimate with her. He says no, he is reserving that phase for some other time. Says smart women are afrodisiac (whatever!)… he came to ask her for money… she rebutes ‘evil money … always tied to everything else’. He asks what she means. She says don’t worry about it. (later scene)

Marce: Know what, Bruno? This ‘caprichito’ is costing me dearly by now. And really I hope it will be worth it in every sense.

Bru: I guarantee that. Remember we both have a key in our future.

Marce: (signs) well… and you please remember that I am lethal. Whoever betrays me will remember it for their lifetime, and many times they could even die prematurely.

At b-day party, Eva is with Laurita by cake, Dano comes by along with V-icky. At that moment the photographer sets up to take a picture and in the picture Eva, Laurita and Dano are standing beside each other very cutely. The photographer says ‘what a pretty family!’ which gets Dano nervous looking at Eva and then turns around to look at Vicky who apparently did not notice or just came in and did not hear. They all sing the mananitas to Laurita.

At Misery manor, Julio is considering drinking his coffee… (ends up shoving it on the plant)

In Villanueva manor kitchen, Jackie begins to cut the cake and Fran and her plot to get Dano and Eva together… he got a plan, which he hopes Vicky has never seen before lol

(later) Jackie and fran bring cake to Vicky, Leo and Claw. At first Vicky refuses to take a piece of cake, but they end up convincing her that it is back luck to not have some. While Jackie was distracting Vicky, Fran put a piece of cake on the sofa right behind Vicky. Vicky is being herself asking Jackie rudely to bring them drinks to wash the cake with, Jackie says no problem I will bring the drinks and you sit down and enjoy the cake, Vicky sits down backwards and lands exactly where Fran put the piece of cake, obviously messing up her dress right at her bottie…She makes a huff smirk…

Outside in the backyard, Eva, Laurita and Adrian are playing with ‘Chico’ and the kids ask Eva why they named him Chico. She says at the animal shelter they said he would not grow anymore so they decided to call him Chico. Laurita says if it was a girl dog she would name her Victoria. Eva asks why, Laurita says because everytime Victoria were to visit there she would scream at the dog ‘Victoria, you pig! You messed the living room again!!’ Eva looks around nervously, afraid someone might have heard Laurita, and then reprimends Laurita gently (good mom sign) about it, saying (Vicky) is your dad’s girlfriend. Laurita replies exactly, if she were not I would not mind.

Back in living room Dano comes in to a Vicky who is still mad huffing and puffing… Dano asks what is wrong, and Vicky says some ‘escuincla’ silly kid who left the cake and now my dress is ruined. Jackie appologizes and says maybe you should go home and change (There is the plan!). Vicky leaves with Claw… Dano looks at them nodding, not approving the exaggerated reaction/scandal about the cake stain on the dress. Leo stops Daniel and says Daniel owes him one. (Fran and Jackie in kitchen are jumping for joy because step one of the plan worked perfectly… time for step 2… Jackie knows what to do) Leo tells Dano yesterday Vicky was asking him if Dano was interested in Eva. .. Leo says he saved Dano’s life… but tell me.. why would she suspect that? .. Dano says not the time or place to talk about that… Leo insists Dano has to leave Eva alone… yesterday I saved you but perhaps tomorrow I won’t feel the same way. It would be fatal if Vicky found out the whole story, no? Dano leaves not a happy camper but not wanting to hear any more threats…

(Jackie fetches Eva at backyard to wait for her at the study, Fran catches Dano and does same, with the excuse there are kids in the study messing with his computer (LOL! Have to say I like Dano’s mild reaction, does not seem angry and says don’t worry, I will take care of it, totally in control of his emotions… good dad sign)

In the study, Eva is running out of patience waiting for Jackie but Dano walks in instead. He asks what she is doing there, waiting for Jackie. (he seems to put two and two together in his mind, we see a slight smirk) Eva tries to take her leave but he stops her

Dano: Do you think we can continue on this way for much longer?

Eva: I am not sure I am following you.

Dano: You and I running into each other… you avoiding me… me following you… (by now Eva is very close to him, staring at his eyes and mouth alternatively and getting ansy)… both thinking about each other …

Eva: And who told you that I think about you?

Dano: Noone has to tell me… just look at both of us! (approaching her more closely) … tense.. nervous… it shows too much already, Eva (it is evident to others) … (she nods no) … your eyes don’t lie…

Eva: (still resisting nervously) No, I did not notice anything… I better leave…(again tries to make her leave)

Dano: No!... stay!...(now they are a few inches from each other’s faces…)

(we get interrupted by marisol and alicia but I will keep this scene together)

Eva: let me go… Jackie will come!

Dano: Who cares? Let her come! Whoever! I can’t take it anymore!

Eva: Let me go, please!

Dano: NO! Don’t you realize all this is making me crazy?? That I don’t do any other darn thing all day long besides thinking about you?? Just yesterday my daughter asked me if I was happy and… know what? … I did not know what to say to her! And since then I have been asking myself that question… Daniel.. are you happy? Are you living the life you want? And Eva? What about Eva?

Eva: (nervous, hardly breathing as he caresses her face, closes her eyes) .. please don’t tell me any more…

Dano: Finally I realized what you have become in my life… (SMOOCH!!)

Leo comes by in time to see the kiss… turns around and takes a few steps away then thinks about what he will do and comes back calling for Daniel from the hallway… Daniel and Eva pull away when they hear Leo calling… Leo comes in, appologizing if he interrupted anything…Dano is quiet… Eva takes her leave quickly… saying she is going home. Leo offers her a ride, she says that’s not necessary.

Daniel plays ignorant about why Eva is leaving and tries to take his leave, but Leo grabs him and repeats the threat to be careful what he does. Dano leaves in a huff. Leo punches the bookcase, he is really angry.

At Justa’s, Alicia is concerned about Carlos, wants to go to restaurant to ask about him. If he has not come then he must not have been able to steal my record, then she gets scared the police will come get her. Marisol tries to calm her down saying she will find out what is going on.

A while later, Marisol has made it back home and does not have good news for Alicia… Carlos is in jail because of her. (later) Alicia and Marisol are in Eva/Ali’s room, Alicia is upset. Was he caught because of me? Marisol says she (Ali) has to go to the police to find out. Alicia is refusing, scared they will grab her and lock her up instead.

Mari: (sarcastically) I had not thought of that… yeah you better leave that guy locked up on your account and meanwhile you stay here very comfortable, suffering a lot, eating your chocolates and reading your magazines, munequita! How easy!... (Alicia is not appreciating the remark, but keeps playing the magdalene and refuses to go to the police, sends Marisol instead to find out… Marisol says think about what you can do for him who is locked up for your fault… Alicia nods yes)

Back at Villanueva livingroom, Vicky is now wearing a tweety-bird yellow dress, still whining about the ‘escuincle’ kid who ruined her drerss. Dano considers her reaction too out there for a dress… at Vicky’s insistence that the dress was very expensive and exclusive, he even offers to pay for the dress.. Leo comments that the guests are looking toward them and must think instead of a happy couple they look like a married couple who can’t stand each other anymore. Claw proposes they forget all about it. Vicky says alright… BUT I have the right to be angry, don’t you think? (hugging Dano as if demanding he console her, he is looking back toward study perhaps wishing it were someone else leaning on him)

At kitchen, Eva reprimends Jackie (for the setup), but has to postpone the ‘conversation’ when Laurita comes in…

Eva and Adrian make it home, they had a good time at the party, Adrian is excited saying he became very fond of Laurita since the first they they met (OOPSIE!) Eva questions ‘the first day” wasn’t that today?’.. Adrian has to backstep and say yeah, but Both Justa and Ricardo seems to have caught up and help Adrian get out of the hole.

Claw and Leo are in bed…Leo can’t help but remember the kiss he saw with Dano and Eva… questions himself why he is so angry to see them kissing. Claw also notices ‘nothing is happening here’… of course Leo blames it on her not doing enough to seduce him… Claw even offers him a drink to get him in the mood… Leo thinks to himself he was angry because he likes Eva too… it is not just a bet… she has to be yours Leo… for now he won’t tell Vicky about the kiss, it is not convenient for Vicky to get mad at Dano.. .and he knows what he will do to make Eva not want to see Daniel ever again. (Leo takes his leave leaving Claw calling for him)

Ricky asks Adrian if Laurita is the girl he saved. Why hasn’t he told Eva… but Adrian says he and Laurita agreed to keep it a secret.

At their bedroom Alicia pokes Eva why she is so anxious.. it is about Dano, right? Eva asks if it shows… Alicia says of course! (later) Eva admits Dano kissed her again after another argument, Alicia insists Dano loves her! Eva admits Dano told her today he loves her. Alicia asks why worry then? Eva is scared of loving him so when he is about to marry another, that is why she cannot believe that he does love her, but he is driving me crazy, don’t do anything else but thinking about him and that makes me feel like it is the worst that could happen to me, because I know I will suffer a lot. Alicia wonders if Dano will leave Vicky for her… Eva: Diosito… I hope so… (we get a T-mobile commercial where the girl is telling her aunt exactly what just happened in the novela…)

At Villanueva manor, Vicky and Dano… Vicky is glad the darn party is over, so many kids together make a lot of noise… that is why we won’t have any children in a good while.. can you imagine? So much time that I spend taking care of my looks to end up having a horrible looking belly, right? (Dano seems distracted or dissapointed, repeating ‘yeah, horrible!’) … V-icky ends up complimenting herself ‘you should say: you would never look horrible, my love’ (LOL!) Dano excuses himself as too tired to be charming. Vicky keeps elating herself saying outside the cake stain incident, everything went very well. Then changes the subject saying she has arranged for them to get married at the church she got christened, even with the same priest… the church is spectacular (that’s all she can think of… Dano is distracted but denies sharing his thoughts with her)

At breakfast next day at Villanueva manor, Dano is telling Laurita not to let Chico eat at the table with them, they will need to find a spot for his food and water in the kitchen.

Jackie comes and comments that Laurita got lots of presents at her party. Laurita says yeah but even though Victoria gave me a trip to Paris (WOW!) I still can’t swallow her. (Dano reprimends her) In walks Fran all smiles and jolly… Dano greets ‘Mr Conti’ and reminds him they have a pending conversation, summons him to the study. Fran plays the innocent naïve and then tries to bail out saying he has to take Laurita to school, to no avail


At Misery manor Marcela is asking Vicky how did your dear step daughter’s party go?

Vicky replies FUTURE daughter in law, and not ‘dear’ at all. Marce replies that has always been her mistake. Vicky says she can stand Laurita less and less each day, she even invited Eva to the party. Vicky is not happy Marce did know and did not tell her. Marce says she did not think Eva would go and did not want to worry her. Later Vicky whines that Eva brought Laurita a miserable shelter dog and Laurita went crazy about the dog and ignored the laptop she gave her. Marce fakes ‘Noooo!..’ Renata tells marce Leo is up but is not feeling well, asked that Eva would bring him his breakfast. Vicky happily htells her mom Leo finally is making his move with Eva, and that makes her at ease.


At the Villanueva study, Dano wants to know since when he is the driver and Fran the boss. Fran plays dumb but Dano won’t buy the script. Dano wants to know how come Marisol has the phone number of their house. Fran ‘confesses’ to that saying he called her from the house number so she called it back from her cel. Dano will forgive him for this one but only because of their setting up his wonderful surprise at the studio last night.


Eva brings Dano his breakfast, he plays sick (he is not really at all). HE asks her to have breakfast with him (or at least be there with him while he does). Eva does not believe that he can’t even move his arms. He keeps playing the victim, saying noone cares about him. Noone knows the lonely sad side of Leo. There is something else, that has to do with you… Eva says she will always be thankful to him for getting the job for her. Eva wants to take her leave, but Leo says he might be getting fever again. Leo convinces Eva to sit down and talk longer. Leo questions Eva if she has a boyfriend. Eva says no. Have you ever been in love? Why so much questioning? Are you in love now? (Eva gets scared and leaves without really answering anything, saying she has to take meds to Jolly0) Eva takes the tray away, Leo thanks her for all her attention. Leo tells himself he is doing well, next step he will knock her out, or better said, will knock Daniel out)


Alicia has asked Tony to try to help get Carlos out of jail… Tony won’t have any of it. Reminds her that they had agreed that what he did for her, he did it for love. Alicia says if you love me that much, go get Carlos out of jail. Tony rebutes I am no lawyer. Alicia says if you ever want me to talk to you again, get your rich friends to help you get him out, otherwise forget about me.

Vicky has come to pick up Claw to go see Sabrina… Claw can’t even believe Vicky wants to go see her. The only reason she is going is because Vicky begged her to come along. Vicky is dying to see how Sabrina’s face ended up.

Julio convinces Eva to take him out on a walk down the backyard again. Eva tells him Marce forbid that she take him outside again. Julio says if she tells you something you send her to me… it is my house and my money.

At hospital Vicky tells Claw she is confused again about who was it that spent the night with Dano, if Sabrina or Eva. Wants to ask Sabrina for her story.

At misery manor poolside, Renata sees Eva and Julio together happy and goes back inside in a huff. In fact, Eva is telling Julio she has not been able to win over Renata, she seems to be bittered with life, is mad at her from the day she came, and she has not done anything to Renata. Julio says Eva is pretty, young and you are my assistant. Three very good reasons for her not to like you, you displaced/replaced her. Eva asks why, Julio will tell her some other time. He wants to talk about something else… (later)

Eva thanks Julio for worrying about her future, but she has no money to pay an english teacher. Julio says he will pay for it. Knowing english will open a lot of doors for better jobs, and he will love helping her progress. He reminds her he wants to be a father to her. Max begins to bark and Julio and Eva smile when they realize it is Dano [all smiles], who gets along perfectly with Max.

At hospital, Sabrina’s face is totally covered in gauze, Doctor tells Vicky and Claw that the acid destroyed half of Sabrina’s face, and when she wakes up she freaks out and has to be kept under tranquilizers. Later Claw wants to leave, Vicky wants to stay until Sabrina wakes up, she wants them to confront her and get her story. Claw bails out (‘vamos me suena a mucha gente’: ‘we are going to’ sounds to me like a crowd, c’iao!)

Dano greets Julio very nicely and says he is there to see Leo, but his smile smirk dissappears when Julio says Leo has asked Eva to spoon feed him his breakfast in his room, Julio thinks Leo is imitating him to try to get this young woman to take care of him. (Eva laughs uncomfortably, Dano is not a happy camper, then Julio changes the subject) Julio asks Dano about the wedding plans, confesses that the news took him by surprise (seems more curious than happy). Dano appologizes saying he should have been there to ask him together (with Vicky). Julio is curious why the rush. Dano says no rush but… Dano excuses himself to go see Leo. Julio sends Eva to get him a hat to cover him from the sun. Dano catches up with Eva in living room.

Dano: Eva, don’t leave so quickly, wait! (grabs her by arm to turn her around) I love to look at you.

Eva: Stop it already! Go ahead first.

Dano: Can’t we walk together?

Eva: Do you think we are in a park or what?

Dano: It is not a bad idea. Do you want to go to a park?

Eva: Have you gone crazy or what? What is up with you?

Dano: That I love you (te quiero). That I need you. That is what is up with me.



(end of ep)

Previews:

Eva: What did you say?... I want you to repeat it!...

Leo: Daniel bet $500 with me to see which one of the two would get you in bed first.

Eva: That can’t be… (upset)

Leo:.. I understand how you feel…

Eva: You don’t understand anything… (angry lioness face)

(we see Eva angry in her room throwing pillows around)

Eva: How could you do something like that to me?? (fighting with Leo)

At Villanueva dining room Eva asks Fran…

Eva: Where is Don Daniel?

Jackie: What happened??

Eva: It is not what happened, but what will happen!

(we see Daniel’s face of anguish as if Eva just came to bash him and then just left him there with no explanation as to her attitude)

Comments:
Marts, thanks for the great recap. I am gald you included the preview dialouge because I missed what she was so mad about. Tonight should be really good.

As much as I don't care for the Alicia/Tony plotline, I am glad Alicia demanded Tony to help her get Carlos out of jail. Not certain if it is a smart move or not but we will see what happens.
 

Great recap and I love the dialog breakdown! Some fun stuff last night, watching Fran & Jacqui carry out their "plan", Laurita's dig about Icky V, and Dan and Eva in the study.

I keep wondering when Dan's light bulb is going to switch on? I mean, every member of that family uses threats of death or harm to make their point. Buddy, isn't that just a little strange to you?

Tony better get Carlos out of jail. I can't stand Alicia or him as it is. If she's supposed to be the younger, naive, confused sister the writers have blown it. She's just plain stupid, selfish and annoying. love that Marisol called her out.

So when do we get the romance between Chico and Max?
 

Marta,

What a Great recap, I to am also glad that you included the preview dialouge b/c I was not going to watch it tonight. b/c I can't take the stress of knowing all weekend that Leo, told Eva about the red car.
You know Alicia needs to just GO AWAY. A normal person would have went to Carlos work place to see if he was there. No not Alicia she send Marisol to find out about him. Carlos should spill the beans on her and Tony. They (tony & alicia) belong together.(USERS)
Also I like that you put in when Laurita was being disrespectful Eva did the MOM THING of correcting her.
Pata ITA about Alicia going to Tony to get Carlos out of jail. Not sure that's such a good thing, Carlos might find himself going away for a long time. b/c as we have seen in this TN whatever Tony touch turns to sh*t!!!
Michele in PA
 

Meant to say Marta, not Marts. My finger slipped.
 

that was SOME LOUD SLAP Eva gave Leo in the previews. I can imagine Dano will get same if not worse... btw, I went back to yesterday's cap and Julio sent the letters to Justa with Renata, but Renata never delivered them to Justa.
 

I believe Guy used to have two rot-weilers himself so he gets along great with animals.. and it shows.
 

Thank you, thank you, thank you for that fantastic recap and you always know which conversations to give us line-by-line! Thank you again, you are awesome.

I thought it was cute how Danny gave Francisco a "free pass" on the chofer thing because of the "surprise" that Francisco gave him in the study (namely, Eva!). This will encourage Jackie and Francisco to keep on doing what they're doing (throwing Eva in the path of Danny).

Am I making too much of this, or does the fact that Tony was fastening his belt (like he was putting on his pants) in his room while Alicia was sitting on his bed signify anything? (Like Alicia and Tony were up to something before, and now he's clothes back on?) I don't know what to think of that. If we're meant to think that Tony and Alicia have progressed to that point in their relationship, it was certainly very subtle. On the other hand, it seems very intimate of Alicia to sit there watching Tony change his wardrobe. Not sure what to think. (Or it could just be that Tony was always dressed and was just putting on a belt before he went out . . .) Ah well, I'm probably overthinking!

Thanks for pointing out the T-mobile ad! Hilarious! I reviewed my recording of the episode and sure enough, the girl in the ad was telling her aunt about what Alicia said to Eva . . . etc etc. Very clever!

I'm also fascinated with the use of English in this telenovela, so hearing how Don Julio is encouraging Eva to learn English to help her future in this country is an interesting thing. I hope they follow through with this storyline and have Eva learn English and maybe we can hear a bit of Blanca Soto speaking English.

Very nice scene with Eva and Daniel in the study . . . too bad it is short lived!

Thanks for the recap of the avances. I suspected that Leo was telling about the bet (telling his own self-serving "version" of the bet), but I couldn't understand them, really.
 

I think Don Julio knows that something is going on between Daniel & Eva, b/c when max starts barking and runs over to Daniel by the pool Dano has the goofey smile that says (Ah my love). And then Eva turns and looks at him and her smile says (I love this man), and Don Julio is looking between the both of them, with a look of understanding. Which is why when Dano took off inside the house, Don Julio all of a sudden sent her to get a hat for him. Also I think he was testing the water sorta speak to see how uncomfortable he could make them with all the questions about Leo and Icky Vicky (jealousy). And they failed the test b/c Dano lost his smile, and Eva start to get antsy on the chair :(. IMO I wouldn't put it past Don Julio to have a little spy( the cook) in misery Mason who lets him know what going on. Remember the cook heard Laurita tell Eva that she knows Eva loves her Dad, and her Dad loves Eva. Hum interesting plots Michele in PA
 

Muy fabuloso recap. Thanks for dwelling so much on the good conversations and glossing over the tedious stuff.

I love the dynamic between Francisco and Daniel. They're so snarky, but not in a mean way. Daniel is pretty indulgent but he makes sure Fran knows that he isn't fooled.

It's funny watching Dan get so irritated and jealous whenever Eva has the slightest interaction with Leo. How do you think Eva feels, Dano? You are actually ENGAGED to someone else.

I wish Dan would just once even casually say to Marcy, "why would I want to join a family that threatens me with death or injury?"
 

Marta: This was terrific! I also appreciated the preview dialogue since half the time I only hear part of it. Good title!
 

Oh, I loved Francisco's and Jackie's little victory dance in the kitchen after they got rid of IckyV. Keep going down this road, kids.
 

Thanks so much, Marta, for another great recap. It helped me understand much that I missed. And, like several others, I also was happy you included the advances, since I almost always find them even harder to understand than the novela itself.

One question: did Icky really offer Laurita a trip to Paris? If so, I missed it completely.

I was delighted when Don Julio poured the medicine-laced coffee on the plants. I was half expecting them to wither and die almost instantly. They didn't, but I wouldn't be all that surprised if they do pretty soon. That would be a pretty powerful confirmation of his suspicions.

And thanks for mentioning that the girl in the T-mobile commercial was talking about what was happening just then on "Eva Luna." I was fast-forwarding through the commercials and got very confused!

So I guess Leo will have two strategies to separate Dan and Eva. First, telling her about the bet, and then telling her that Dan is the owner of the red convertible. But clearly True Love will Triumph in the End.
 

Julia, I meant to mention in my earlier posting that I loved your comment "I wish Dan would just once even casually say to Marcy, "why would I want to join a family that threatens me with death or injury?""
 

I know this is a very long shot but I, for one, would love for Don Julio to last till the end, love the character and the performance by Jorge Lavat.
