Triunfo del Amor #17 1/25/11 Eh. Nothing Special. Fer Disappears and Reappears. Victoria Cries and Gets Mad. Same Old.
• Bear-nada-de-Juan Pablo is creepily swearing to avenge Victoria very soon. In the morning, she tries to assure JP that she did everything to keep him on the path for which he was born--that of God. JP says he would never leave his vocation, but he's going to find this girl (his daughter). Bernarda doesn't object and asks if she's forgiven. He says yes. Oh, how noble. Not. Idiot. Wait, there's more. He says she should hope God forgives her.
•Linda is putting on tights under her skank dress and asks how she looks. When Nati calls her out on her skankiness, she insults her, and Maria jumps to defend Nat. Maria further asks how she paid for her dress cause she knows it's expensive. Juan Jo gave her money. She says he was too willing to be with her.
•Speakin of the demonio, he's at the door. Juan Jo thinks Linda looks great, and he wants to take her to the movies. She lies that she has an interview and runs out. Juan Jo is disappointed since he already bought non-refundable tickets. He asks Nati to go with him. She happily accepts. Poor girl.
•JP goes to Vicki's house, but he meets Osvaldo instead. Os welcomes him warmly, and asks if he can help since Vicki's gone. JP says he'll come another day. Fer screams from upstairs about being detained at home, and Os apologizes to Padre for her behavior. Ya know how kids are...[Kids that don't get smacked when they deserve it? Yes, I know how they are.] JP says np. Os walks him out.
•Fer's on the phone, planning on running away with the stupid tattoo guy.
•Vicki is yelling about Federico's dad wanting money from her. She can't stand Fer being with his son. Her past is back to haunt her.
•Federico's dad tells Fed to marry Fer. Fed thinks that's too fast, but his father shakes him up and has the final word.
•Maria and two other models practice walking. Max comes in, and the two models ooo and aaa the guapo. They missed him. Maria looks understandably uncomfortable. Max jumps on stage and fakes being formal with her. "Hello, Maria...Desamparada, correct?" he kisses her cheek. She excuses herself.
•Maria is in the bathroom being annoyed. Max comes in to explain himself amidst many besos. He says it'll be obvious something's up if he acts differently, and Maria need not fear cause she's the only one he loves. Kiss. Maria smiles and asserts that she feels really uncomfortable seeing him so close to those girls. Max laughs. He likes having a jealous girl friend/fiance. Max starts to leave before anyone suspects somethin's going on, but Maria wants to know who Jimena is. Max laughs uncomfortably this time. It's a long story that he'll tell her, but he wants Maria to know that he only loves her. No one else. Kiss. Max tries to leave, but Maria asks about someone else. "Who's who?" Max says, like a little boy who doesn't want to answer. "Who loves you most?" Maria smiles. Kisses. Max finally leaves. Maria smiles.
•More revenge talk from Bernarda. Screaming. Yelling. Throwing pillows. She wants peace...okk...she needs help.
•Pepino tells Maria and the other two models about a soon-to-be-coming fashion show. They should prepare themselves cause one of 'em will be the show stopper.
•Max goes to Fer's room and discovers she's missing. He calls Victoria home. Next thing ya know, they're both in Fer's room. Victoria's sure she went with the stupid Fed. Max finds his address (ok, what girl in this day and age writes her bf's wherabouts on a piece of paper?) and is ready to approach the imbecile. Vicki snatches the paper and says she'll do it. Max wants them to go together, but Vicki warns him not to follow.
•Fed's dad is surprised to see Victoria at his door. What surprises him even more is the slap he gets! That was a good one. Vicki demands her daughter back. She forbids him from doing to her daughter what he did to Vicki. He denies having such thoughts of his son's fiance. Vicki slaps again. FER IS NOT MARRYING HIS SON. He threatens that he'll tell all about her past. She doesn't give a damn anymore. I guess there's no statutory limit (which I don't mind; I watch too much Law and Order: SVU to have sympathy for criminals) cause Vicki says he'll go to jail for what he did to her. She searches the house.
• Fer and Fed come in right then, laughin and all. Victoria grabs her rotten kid, who fights a little. Fed tries to talk to Victoria, and she smacks him too. Is Fer next?! That I want to see. She's dragged home for now.
•Os tries to hug the weeping Fer, while Victoria pushes her around and demands that they talk NOW. Osvaldo and Max pity Fer.
•Milagros describes that old fire man's potential mate (herself) to him. She tries to kiss him, but Juan Jo comes home.
•Vic gives that guilt trip that all girls get in their lives. "This is how you repay me for loving you...?" She tells Fer she's the only daughter she can love. Os asks Vicki to stop with the anger. She says ok, but keeps her attitude (understood) and tells Fer that her parents are not her enemies. They just want to protect her. Fer cries.
•Same old Osvaldo topic at Maria's apartment. Linda's a skank. Blah. Blah. Maria angrily leaves, and Nati asks if Linda really loves Os? Nope. She just likes him. Especially his wallet. She'd marry Juan Jo only if he were a millionaire.
•Fer cries about wanting to be the boss of her life. Victoria starts to say something, but Max gives her a look that tells her he'll handle it. Os and Vicki leave, and Max starts talkin. He understands Fer because when he was her age, he went through the same thing. He rebelled too, and he was expelled from high school. The only person who understood him then was Fer. She was just a kid, but she was with him. What happened to that intelligent little girl? She hugs him and cries. He tells her that they love her and want to protect her. Fer loves Max very, very much.
•Linda calls Os. They're going to meet in awhile.
•Victoria and Os apologize to each other for their attitudes. Os tells her that he loves her and always will. They kiss, and Max walks in, coughing to make em stop. He apologizes for interrupting but is glad that they're happy. Anyways, he talked to Fer as a friend, and he thinks she'll reflect. Os thinks she's a smart girl and will too. Max and Os talk Vicki into unpunishing her. Max thanks her and goes off for work. Vicki tells him they'll go together, but he rejects the idea with smiles. Os tells Victoria that JP came. He wonders why she's nervous, but she says she just doesn't get along with the padre. Os is confused since JP seemed so nice.
•Max picks up Maria in his car.
•Victoria tells Antonieta that JP came and spoke with Osvaldo. They're scared he'll bust her out. Luci calls Vicki qnd lets her know JP is here to see her.
•Os tells Linda that it's over. He loves Victoria.
•JP apologizes to Victoria again. She tells him he can't understand her suffering and hatred. She won't let him have peace of mind from forgivness. He says he'll help her find her daughter. She doesn't need his help. She's done all she could, and she's lost her little Maria.
•Maria Desamparada tries on a dress. Antonieta whispers to Pepino that she reminds her of Victoria! Hey, did it occur to you that she's an orphan of 18-19 years named Maria? Nope.
•JP won't be at peace until Vicki is united with Maria.
•Juan Jo beats the crap out of thugs that try to rob a vulnerable Linda. Linda tells him that she loves him.
•Victoria tells Antonieta that JP sincerely told her that he'd help find Maria.
•Bernie acts outraged when JP says he's looking for his daughter. She tries to convince him out of it. She thinks he'll be thrown out of the church. He's gonna accept the obligation. Bernie is PO that she raised a responsible adult. She'll never speak to him again if he continues like this.
•Max sneaks up on Maria at work and kisses her. They break away when they hear Pepino, who wonders why Max is with Maria. Max says he's lookin for Fabian. To Maria, he says, "Chow, bella." Pepino smiles knowingly.
•Fer on the phone with Fed. She says she's not going to be punished as long as she leaves him, but that isn't happening. They think of how to meet. She's going to pretend to go back to school.
•Linda cries to the roomies about what happened. Juan Jo saved her life. She wishes he had money. Ditz. Nati tells her to be honest with him. Linda adds that Os left her. (She's horrible at crying.)
•Creepy Bernarda again. She's not going to permit JP to lose his priesthood. Victoria is gonna pay.
•Victoria hugs her Maria's doll and cries "hija." Luci tells her someone is there to see her. It's Bernie!
Sweet WL in a kayak. ;)

Go, Victoria! Give that creepy Padilla and his hellspawn what for! I shudder to think of what kind of woman would have been that kid's mother. Possibly another rape victim.
What time of the year is it and why the hell isn't Fer in school? Was she expelled? The only thing about that that would surprise me is that it hasn't been mentioned.
Now for Bernarda. She is a whole new level of crazy and evil. She is rabid in her hubris and needs to be strapped straight into the giggle jacket and put alone into a padded cell. I'm also sure that there is no statute of limitations on murder or arson and she could still be prosecuted for the murder of her lover and his family as well as the murder of her husband.
None of which she regards as crimes.
I'm sure the writers have a spectacular final exit planned for her.
Here in NYC we had the President's address until after 10:00 and other discussions.
Are you on the west coast, is that why you got TDA???
Looking forward to your recap.

@Ann To answer your question, I am in fact in California, and it actually comes on a couple of times because I have dish; however, I was too tired last night and wanted to watch online, so I found a link through which to watch it. Did it not come on at all for you?
@All Did you all get any TdA last night or did I go ahead of the game?! My apologies if I did! Perhaps I should avoid video sites. Eee.
We got the show in the midwest from 9:45 to 10:30p.
It occurred to me, when Linda was showing off her new dress to the roomies, that she looked too large for the space, like some giant porno star that had stumbled into a dollhouse. I also realized that when she speaks more than a few words, I have a very hard time understanding her, not so much because of the Argentine accent but because she doesn't speak distinctly. Ah well, no loss there.
I can't let St Bernarda's final fashion statement pass unremarked: Was anyone else thinking, when they saw that black lace collar -- Just like a bat out of hell!
And earlier, when she was tearing off the bedspread and throwing around the pillows, I imagined the caption: Doña Bernarda reacts when Tomasa tells her there are bedbugs in the house.
(This is where all that time in the gym is paying off for Daniela Romo -- it's turning out to be a very athletic role for her.)
NovelaMaven I was thinking the same when i saw St. Bernard get up at the end. I was wondering if she found that outfit from those old Dracula movies. WTF is she wearing when i saw her saunter into Victoria's office.What catalog sells this crap?
Why couldn't Victoria reserve a slap for Fer? Lord knows that child needs several sort of like in the movie Airplane people lined up to slap some sense into her.
I thoroughly enjoyed your commentary and my favorite lines were: "What surprises him even more is the slap he gets!" and " Oh, how noble. Not. Idiot. Wait, there's more." :)
So glad Victoria found her backbone and will not be abused/blackmailed/tortured any longer. But, she still needs to tone down the rhetoric at home. Love and honey - not hate and vitrol. Ack.
So now Os wants Victoria? Seems it's a little late for that decision. Do we think Linda Ho will easily go? Hell no.
Diana
NM: Love the bedbug caption!
Cielo: You didn't go past the end of last night's episode; you're right in sync.
What video sites can this be seen on? I had a cable box problem yesterday that almost put me out of action for a week. It fixed itself but I missed the second half of La Otra.
I just had another thought about Bernarda: She's committing at least 5 of the 7 Deadly Sins on an ongoing basis. If she were so pious as she represents herself why is she guilty of what she must know to be sins? She must think that giving JP to the church is adequate payment. So.... isn't it particularly greedy of her to want all his interventions with God to be on her behalf?
Other state laws may vary form the Federal law but Murder has no statute of limitation everywhere.

May be the boy in the fire didnt die
------------------
Then Max & Maria would be first cousins, and I'm not sure they would do that. I know they did it in MEPS but Sniffles & Curls weren't the main couple, either.
Urban Anthro, can I email you the website? One of the caraymates told me it's a bad idea to post them for a couple of reasons that I'll let ya know. My email is cielodelevy@gmail.com. :)
Blu, Dracula comment was hilarious. :)
Diane, I agree. Victoria is a bit over the top with everything. Crying, anger, etc. I understand she suffered, but geesh. Enough.
Ebony, say whattt?!!
Ibarramedia, I love when you look up things. :) Thanks mucho.
I agree with UA, I would love a DVR that has a sensor records by show, not time.
Haven't had a chance to read your recap but thank you for all your hard work.
I looked at 41 until past 10:30 but figured it won't go on and switched to ATM on Telemundo. But unfortunately I don't know if they went the full hour because I dozed off.

I read that Dorismar/Linda is being written out earlier than planned. I never believe these things -- just a way to get more publicity for the show. But how knows?
I liked the exchange between Os and JP. It does suggest possibilities in the long-lost relative department.
Fer and Fed. What a pair!
I thought that Maria looked very pretty in comparison to the more experienced modelos tonight.
