Eva Luna #41 Mon 1/3/11 Eva Gets Her Groove Back; Dan Marks His Territory; and Max Makes the Ultimate Sacrifice
Cap. 41
As we return from our holiday hiatus, we travel eagerly back to the deep, dark woods somewhere outside L.A.. Daniel has managed to save Eva from the local wolves --at least, the four-legged kind--and has lit Eva's fire. It may be a bit chilly now that the sun is down but those back windows in that SUV of his are fogging up fast! Eva's having second thoughts about losing her virginity and being a one-night stand with Daniel. As for Dano, he's decided tonight's the night and he's willing to give away the whole store to score. In between mouth-melds, Dan asks if Eva's afraid of letting herself go with him. He says there's nothing wrong with this since they're in love-- and will be together for the rest of their lives. He pops the question: "Do you want to spend the rest of your life with me?" Eva stops panting long enough to look him square in the eyes.
Unfortunately, Uni leaves us hanging as we beam back to the two Bimbutts in a major blab’n crab-fest at the country club. Victoria asks how Claudia could have gotten pregnant --or wasn't she taking precautions? Claw lies that she was careful but that, well, it just happens sometimes even so. V-icky snorts at that one. Claw notes that Ick-toria, BFF that she's supposed to be, is less than overjoyed to hear she's going to be an aunt and mentions her disappointment. After all, she'd thought this would have brought her and her BFF actually closer. Icky bitchily explains that if Leonardo's distracted by this baby thing, then it will prevent him from successfully seducing Eva away from Dan and clearing the way for Icky to get Dano back. Besides, she adds, she suspects Claw knows her brother doesn't really want this kid, either. "--This baby is nothing more than a big nuisance for everyone. If you really are my friend then you'll get rid of it." Claw can't believe what she's hearing (you’re kidding, Claw, right?) and decides it's time to give the paranoid perra a piece of her mind. "I can't believe you're serious! How come you are so selfish? I’m not getting rid of this baby just because it’s not convenient for you!"
Back at the boarding house, Marisol hasn't left for the strip club yet. She and Alicia are jumping for joy at the fact that "Millionaire" Francisco has proposed. Visions of yachts and sips of champagne dance in their heads as Christmas seems to be coming early this year for Mari.
Meanwhile, Leonardo arrives back at the wide spot in the road where Icky's white Beemer was abandoned. He yells out for Eva but doesn't get an answer. Leo is putting one and one together and frowning cuz he knows which two-some that adds up to.
Back in the city, Claw is muy pissed at Icky for telling her to give up (chic-speak for abort) her baby just because it's inconvenient to Icky's plans. Icky tells her she knows Claw really isn't ready to have a baby. Claw says actually she is and not only will it be born, but V-icky’s brother is going to officially adopt it and be responsible for it. If not, she'll kick up a scandal that she's sure Marcela will find inconvenient. "--Is that a threat?" "--Take it any way you like. My child has rights and if Leo doesn't come thru, then I will call your family's bluff [poner a alguien en evidencia]." Icky calls Claw a whore. Claw calls Icky a self-centered nutcase. Anyway, she's got her own plans and interests. She swears nobody's stopping her from getting what she wants, either! Icky hisses back at Claw that she could give a hoot about what Claw does concerning her brother, but if it ever interferes with Icky's plan to get Dan away from Eva, then Claw's going to be very sorry. Claw asks her if that's a threat. V-icky says yep and don't for a minute think she's going to help her with the pregnancy either, because if her plans with Dan are wrecked, then Claw better not be surprised if some day Claw runs into some "bad luck". Icktoria grabs her purse and stomps out of the club.
Out in the country again, Leo peels his wheels in his yellow sports car and heads for home since he can't see Daniel's car nor find Eva. He's certain Dan has picked her up and they’re now spending the evening together.
At the strip club, later that evening, Violeta and Mari are blabbering about Marisol's romantic day and the marriage proposal. In comes Damien and sees them in a friendly embrace. He makes some obnoxious remark about it and Vi races off. Mari is so happy she gives Damian a kiss on the cheek and promises to dance her sexiest tonight.
As Mari finishes her dance one guy in the back of the room claps louder than the others. Vi walks over to him and tries putting on the moves. He only wants to speak with Marisol. Vi goes back to the dressing-room and tells her some rich, good-looking, well-mannered guy who saw her dance wants to speak with her. It never occurred to Vi to ask him his name. So, she and Mari go nuts for a while worrying that it might be Franc out there. Eventually Vi goes back out and finds out it's actually Giorgio. He gives Vi his card for Mari and she brings it back to her. Vi thinks he's hot and is definitely bummed to find out that Giorgio is gay.
Back at the Arismendi manse, Don Julio sees that Max is sluggish but doesn't realize that Max has been poisoned by the medicine in the spilled coffee he licked off the floor earlier. Julio goes to bed. Max eventually joins him on the bed, but as the camera pans in on his faithful pooch, we see his eyes are now clouded milky white.
In another part of the mansion, V-icky comes back from her chat with Claw. She tells Marcy that Claw is expecting Leo's child. Marcy is rubber-necking-impactada. "--What?????" Marcy is determined not to let Claw get away with this. Icky insists that they will have to do something to stop her. Marcy pauses for a moment of malicious musings.
At the same time, Dano and Eva are released from their celluloid suspended animation. Eva is still hesitant because she’s uncertain about how serious Daniel is considering his current hyped-up hormonal condition. Dan doesn't miss a beat, tho’. Dan's a man on the moove and in his groove. In between smoldering smooches he tells Eva that he's totally serious. He wants to spend the rest of his life with her and yes, to wake up every morning next to her. She looks him in the eye to get a read on all this. "--Swear to me that you aren't playing with me." Dan smiles and tells her he isn't, that he truly loves her, and that he can no longer now think of life without her. "--I want us to make a home together, to have kids, to be together." (That works for me!)
Leo finally makes it home. Mama's waiting in his room. "--When were you going to tell me that Claudia is going to have your child and to turn me into a grandmother?" Leo doesn't need this right now. He looks over at Mama like Little Boy Lost.
Back in the rear of Dano's SUV, Eva and Dano are still making out. It’s Swoon City for Eva, though Dano hasn't gotten past first base yet. He tells her it’s a relief to know that she loves him too and that he'll have her to wake up to every morning. He wants her to be his—and only his. After another swoon, Eva finally gives in to Dan's sensitive seduction, savoring each and every second of it. She gives him the “Sí” and Dano hits a home run. (Whoa-baby! I could’ve smoked nearly a whole pack after watching those scenes! HOLY FRIJOLES!! Guy has still got "it". –Kudos to the director for allowing Viewerville to use their imaginations for once instead of force-feeding us five minutes of gratuitous soft-porn. Like the guy used to say in the old Brylcream commercials, a little dab ‘ll do ya.)
Marcy, meanwhile, is chewing out Leo for not taking precautions of his own with Claw and for “behaving as idiotically and carelessly as some teenager”. He admits he did and asks for Mama to get him out of this mess. Marcy manages a little more malicious cogitation. Her first thought is to make sure that the news doesn't get out publicly. She tells Leo not to worry, that his "mamita" will help him.
Back at the boarding house, D. Justa has a nightmare about finding her newborn's crib empty and Renata telling her that the baby was stillborn.
At the manse, V-icky is losing her grip again. She hugs on Dano's picture and paces her bedroom floor thinking about killing Eva. "--I've GOT to do it! I've GOT to!!" She cries herself to sleep in a fetal position on her bed; but the next morning she is at it again. She looks at herself in the mirror thinking about how she will do it: slowly, a bit at a time to make Eva suffer.
The next morning back in the boonies, Dano wakes Eva up by sprinkling showers of flower petals. (Note: she's barefoot and wearing only his sports jacket.) They smooch and kid back and forth till Dan tells Eva that they better get going as both his family and hers will certainly be worried about where they are. He admits that he's crazy in love with her. She's the happiest girl in the world.
D. Julio wakes up and now realizes that poor Max has gone to meet his maker, having assumed room temperature. As he tearfully thinks back to what could have caused Max's untimely death, Julio also realizes that it had to be something to do with this medicine Marcy’s been giving him, just like he and Eva had suspected. This proves now to Julio that Marcela really is trying to poison him. He takes the medicine bottle that Renata left and (hopefully) pockets it, thinking how he’s going to get even with Marcy over this.
Back in the boondocks, Eva is having second-thoughts about the night before and especially now having to return to the real world. Dan says no more embarrassment between them; they are like one now and no, they'll never be apart again. They were born to be together. The only thing that will change is that now she will become Sra. Villanueva. They've waited a long time and now there will be no turning back. Eva smiles at this and then, a bit flirtatiously, asks him if he really ran out of gas. He looks back at her like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He gets an impish grin on his face. (Yep, the oldest trick in Dan's book and Dan was sooooo smooth about it. He had all of Viewerville fooled, too.) "--Why don't you get dressed and we'll leave?" She smiles back with a twinkle in her eye. This dude's kind of smooth got Eva back her groove.
Dano pulls up a bit later in front of the boarding house with Eva. Leo is across the street hiding behind some tree branches, obviously waiting for them to get back. Eva turns to Daniel and tells him again that she loves him. It’s music to his ears. He returns the favor and tells her with all honesty that she had awakened feelings in him he thought he'd never feel again. He's grateful to her for that. The two kiss passionately as Leo plays peeping Tom and grumbles to himself about their obviously having spent the night together.
Inside the boarding house, meanwhile, Ali is worriedly telling D. Justa and D. Ricardo that Eva never came home and that her cell wasn't picking up. Just then Eva and Dan walk in the door --much to everyone’s relief. They tell their little white lie about running out of gas, that Dan lost his cell in the woods while looking for her, and that Eva's was left at the manse when she left so suddenly with Icky. Everyone's happy they're just back safe and sound.
Dan gives off goofy, adolescent, grins as Ali asks Eva if she is OK. Eva hints with a knowing look that there's more to this story than they're telling right now. Ali gets the hint and shares a wink and a grin with her big sis.
Meanwhile, Jackie and Francisco are worried about why Sr. Daniel didn't come home last night and didn't call to let them know like he normally would have. She's worried that he might have run into trouble. Franc tells her it might have been just the opposite. Jackie doesn't get it. Franc explains that Sr. Daniel probably scored with a beautiful woman. He’s stopped mid-way through as Icktoria walks in on them, totally unexpected and without knocking, of course. She barks at them to tell her if Dan is up yet. Franc and Jackie are stunned into silence cuz they can imagine the fit she’d have if she knew he never made it home. Icktoria wants an answer now! They can’t spit one out fast enough. She reminds them that she's going to fire them once she marries Daniel. They stammer to her some nonsense about him still being asleep and not wanting to be disturbed. (So, like, when has that ever stopped this bimbutt on roller blades?) She steamrolls past them and up the stairs; she opens Daniel's bedroom door and sees immediately that he never even came home the night before!!
Back at the boarding house, Ali and D. Justa go into the kitchen so that Dan and Eva have a chance to talk. It's Sunday and everyone's got the day off. Eva tells Dan that each time she's with him she hates being separated from him again. Dan says ditto. He tells her they've got to think about their future together now and kisses her.
Franc and Jackie keep stumbling around for a good lie, but nothing works. V-icky slams the bedroom door on them and begins to trash Dan's bedroom, breaking bottles, overturning the chair and the mattress, and even spray- painting something nasty on his bedroom mirror.
After Icky has destroyed the place she storms out. Franc and Jackie walk in and see the mess she's made. They look over at the mirror and their mouths drop as they read it. (Viewerville will have to wait till tomorrow to find out what she wrote, I guess.)
A bit later, Daniel is walking out to his car to drive home. Leo is waiting around the corner and essentially ambushes him. He comes up to Dan, demanding to know if Dan slept with Eva the night before.
At the same time, Marcela is waiting for Claw to come out of her apartment building. Marcy asks Claw for a chat.
Back outside Eva's boarding house, Dan is surprised to see Leo there and tells him with another impish twinkle in his eye that he doesn't have to account for his whereabouts to Leo. Leo flies at Dan with his fists, but Dan manages to throw him off. "--Don't lay your hands on me again or I am going to forget we're friends!" "--Don't threaten me, you fool!" Dan says the only thing he'll tell Leo is that Leo can forget about their stupid bet and he'll forgive Leo what he owes him. Leo immediately understands and angrily jumps Dan again. Again Dan blocks him. "--I told you not to touch me again!" Leo screams back that he's not going to stand there doing nothing [with his arms crossed = con los brazos cruzados] while he does the horizontal bop [revolcar = to wallow around] with Eva. Dan loses it and menacingly yells back at Leo. "--Don't you ever mention her name again or come anywhere near her!! Understand???!!! I don't want you to come after her ever again in your life!" Then Dano hops into his SUV and peels wheels, leaving Leo with smoke coming out of all of his visible orifices.
While Leo is actually outside the boarding house, unbenknownst to Ali, she is inside trying to reach him on his cell. He's not answering and she gets his voice-mail. Ali starts to leave her number but hangs up in mid-sentence when Eva walks in on her.
Eva gives Ali the good news that not only is Dan a sexy, suave and debonair dude, he also is an engaged one--this time, though, he's engaged to her! Ali is all excited. Eva wants to stop by their daddy’s grave site with Ali to "tell" him the good news. Ali lies and says she can't because she's got a test to study for. After a lot of girl-talk, Ali and Eva agree that it was dumb of Eva to try to sacrifice her happiness with Daniel for a stupid bimbutt. D. Justa comes in a second after to share the happy moment and she agrees with Ali that what Icktoria did was just plain wrong!!
A minute later Eva heads out for her walk to the cemetery. She opens the door and there is the bimbutt standing there and smiling sweetly at her. “—Hi, Eva.” (Danger Will Robinson! Danger!) Eva greets her politely and waits (along with Viewerville) to see what lame-brained excuse Icktoria manages to come up with to explain her dumping Eva in the woods.

Jardinera, great title!! Thanks for such a detailed and fun recap.
I missed the bit where Julio put the medicine bottle in his pocket so thanks for pointing that out.
Poor max. We knew his days were numbered. The scene with the milk glazed eyes was eirie.
The giergio scene at the strip club was wierd. I actually figured right away it was him.
So if we see Claudia standing at the top of a stairway in the next few episodes, should we be worried?
Thanks again for the great recap Jardiera.

Great recap, Jardinera. I appreciated the bits of Spanish vocab (esp. revolcar) and, of course, your super snark, such as Dan leaving Leo "with smoke coming out of all of his visible orifices."
I missed the first ten minutes of the episodio and was astonished to find out how many things took place then. I'm really sorry I missed the scenes between Icky and Claw. I'm beginning to think Claw will end up as Eva's ally--unless, of course, she ends up dead, a definite possibility. So yes, in answer to Pata's question, I think we should definitely worry if we see Claw standing at the top of a stairway, or by the side of a busy road, or at the edge of a hill, or....
Perhaps I missed it, but until Dano said something about Eva becoming Sra. Villanueva, I don't think he ever said the M (or en español, the C) word. I began to think that that would turn out to be significant, not in terms of Dano's intentions, but in terms of Eva's fears.
I hope Fran and Jackie leave Dano's room exactly as Icky left it, so he can see how sick she is.

Mucho, mucho gracias Jardinera. My Cox Cable had a major meltdown with Univision last night. I lost the last ten minutes of Llena and the first 20 or so of Eva. Not a happy camper.
So wish I had seen bug-eye with Claw both spitting their venom. I can't imagine that they do away with Claw so soon - wouldn't help the plot since Leo could care less either...but who knows. The family that plots together....
I want Max back - someone get D.J. a new puppy! I know we needed the plot device, but just the thought of him losing his beloved pal brought tears to my eyes.
So I intend to steal my sons laptop tonight while he's still home (he gets better quality video on his than I do) and replay those minutes I lost last night. I need to see Dano at work...steam up my windows anytime thank you very much!

Jardinera--You steamed up my windows this morning. What a night Eva and Dan had. Thanks for putting it down on paper for us. I'm going to savor all groovy parts--we know it won't last long.
P.S. They are in LA, not MC, but that is very minor. Also, just before Dan gets the green light, he says Quiero que seas mia, quiero que seas mia para siempre--or, I want you to be mine forever. Eva's green light is on steady and she says I want to be yours forever. Bingo.
In the morning, when they are getting ready to leave, he says, much as I'd like to stay here with you the rest of the day, we should go, our families are worried about us, we need to let them know we are ok; then we'll go by the house, pick up Laurita and come back here to live in the woods. Eva says you're crazy and he says, crazy for you.
Eva and I both waited for Dan to say Te Juro that he wasn't playing with her--he pledged his troth several times before and meant it, why not this time. We'll see.
I had a bad premonition that it would be Leo waiting at the door to hijack her and fill her with more verbal poison about Dan.
Don't know which is worse, Crazy Vicky out to kill Eva or Crazy Leo out to force himself on her--I don't think he can be the subtle seductor right now--he's mad.
Now to MARCELA. I have to feel sorry for the bitch. The master puppet-master is losing control of all her puppets at the same time. Her very ordered world she ruled is quite disorderly. She's got a lot to do right now:
1. Leo is now in trouble and she has has promised to get her adored son out of it (Alicia may become an unwitting problem if she hooks up with Leo)
2. Claw has instantly become a real problem and the potential family scandal (not for us, but for her only) and she has to nip in the bud
3. Vicky is coming apart and she knows it; it's getting harder to control her from doing something harmful to herself and others without careful planning
4. Dan is now out of her control and doesn't hesitate to talk back to her that he's never going to marry Vicky; she has to make that happen
5. Giorgio is in melt-down mode
6. Eva is going to leave the household, and Marcie won't be able to control her on a daily basis (my speculation only)
7. Max is dead (may he RIP) and Don Julio has the bottle of medicine; it won't take long for Marcie to learn he's onto her

Jardinera- Last night's offer of novela started off on the right foot with a funny and intense episode of Llena. Then we go to Eva and Dan fogging up the SUV windows and my tv screen big time. :) That sly Dan. The old, I ran out of gas trick. It worked like a charm, and Eva didn't seem to mind. The looks, and unsurpressed smiles, on their faces when they arrived at Dona J's were hilarious.
Loved Marcy's "moment of malicious musings". I think we should use that phrase as often as possible, since she has many of those moments. I also thought of Mad Marcy's Medicine Murdered Max.
That family is really out of control. Julio lives in a pit of vipers. He needs to get out of there! He, Claudia and Eva are now all on the short-term hit list for Marcy, Leo and Vicky. They all need to proceed with much caution. I couldn't help feeling bad for Justa. When she finds her hija, she'll get the booby prize of a crazy, self-centered, demented Vicky. That sucks!
My mouth dropped as far open as Claudia's did during that conversation with Vicky. I don't think I have ever seen such self-centeredness on display in a novela. Ordering someone to abort their child (your neice or nephew) because it doesn't fit into your plans to win back your man?! Wow.

UnaNA: Thanks, I have been country swapping so much with these TN's that I forgot! Thanks for adding in a bit more detail to the love scene conversations.
========
VVin DC: ITA - I was just as dumbfounded by Icky's egomaniacal responses to Claw as she was. I guess tho' we've got to consider the source: an egomaniacal nutcase! LOL!

Jardinera, great recap. You have such a witty way with words. This was a great episode and reading your recap was just like seeing it all over again, steam and all. I think Guy Ecker will be joining my telenovio harem...he has indeed still got it.
Why is Marcy so worried about no one finding out about Leo's spawn? Who would care? Wouldn't it almost be expected of a known womanizer like him?
It was very funny how Dan and Eva couldn't stop beaming back at the boarding house. Out of gas...sure, kids, if that's what they're calling it these days. I don't think anyone was fooled.
Giorgio is such a weirdo. He really seems old enough and obviously gay enough to have come to terms with his gayness by now. I can't get a very good read on him. On the one hand, he's Marcy's slave, but he doesn't seem that evil. But she's actually nice to him. Odd.

Help !!!! I am a poor little lamb that has lost her way. I tried to get the Trifuno recaps , but all I can find is a white page with the start of the recap , but I can't find the rest or the comments. Can anyone tell me how to navigate this new place ?

Jardinera,
Wow I also missed the part where Don Julio put the medicine bottle in his pocket. What's wrong with Claw telling crazy Ick- toria that she's going to be a Tia, I wouldn't be telling anyone that information out loud. My Goodness she knows what kind of family she's dealing with. She's the only one to knows the secrets of Icky-toria and Leo WTH. I was like laughing my butt off, when Eva asked Dano if he really ran out of gas, and he just smiled. I was like you sly old fox. Can we now consider Max the casulty of this TN? I still say Eva's Julio and Justa child and I'm sticking too it. Francisco and Jacky couldn't come up with a good lie, when put on the spot by Icky-toria (yeah right). I was waiting for Laurita to come out of her room and ask what all the fuss was about when vicky was tearing up Dano's room, and to call the police telling them that her house was being robbed. Michele in PA

"we see his eyes are now clouded milky white"
I saw this but I guess I was in denial!! I thought maybe, just maybe Max was still sleeping it off...I can't believe they killed off Max! Well at least it's crystal clear to Don Julio what's going on. Time to start kicking some butt around there. Marcela's and Renata's come to mind, along with Victoria's fake pompis!
The silly scenes with Giorgio at the club were such filler...really they don't think we know what Fransisco's curly mullet head looks like?? Would he really be sitting around clapping if he had discovered Marisol's secret? All this just to jerk us around for a few minutes? It rang so false that it really stuck out beyond the usual artifice that I'm aparently ok with ;)
I agree that Giorgio is a weird character, seemed out-gay to me too, but aparently is in some kind of soul searching meltdown. Enough for him to turn against Marcela and become a good guy?
And a thanks to you Jardinera!

Thanks for the recap Jardinera. Poor Max and Don J. I really felt for the old guy as he wept for his beloved pooch. I do hope he's tactical and not confrontational with Mad Marcy.
Also ITA w/Michele regarding Eva being Julio's and Justa's child. I know the "evidence" points to Vicky but she's so crossed the line and they are good people. I hope the writers just aren't that cruel.

Randy- As our one (commenting) guy on this, what do you think of Dan's ran out of gas ruse? Smooth, creepy, old school...?
Oh, Max......:'( You didn't deserve this.
Julio must demand an autopsy immediately... and get a puppy if he survives this story.
Five bucks says Eva is pregnant and will somehow be shanghaied away from Daniel before he finds out.

I don't want Eva to be pregnant, and I hope the story doesn't go that way. She still needs to become a kick-ass business woman in the ad business. Otherwise, why would they make that an interest of hers and hint that she has real talent for it?
Add me to the list of people who think Eva has got to be Julio and Justa's child. Icky is simply too cruel and psychopathic to be the daughter of such good people. Yes, such things are sometimes possible in the real world, but surely not in telenovela-land!
Urban Anthro I with you, I think the writers should make Eva pregnant. after all her and Dano did have unprotected sex?
And Vivi Eva can do both, have a family and be a kick ass executive. After all if she marrys Dano she'll have access to Jacky and Laurita. Michele in pa

True, but I hope this novela (and the torture of Dan and Eva) is not going to be stretched out so long that we have enough time for Eva to go through 9 months of pregnancy, plus some months of caring for a baby, finish her business prep education (courtesy of Julio) AND start making a mark in the ad business. Just don't see enough time for that if she's already preggers. Unles all that happens in the nxt 9 months, before her water breaks in the board room. That would be pretty unrealistic, even for a novela. I know women are capable of doing it all. It's a timeline thing that I'm thinking about.
I'm a (currently unemployed) advertising professional and a former colleague of mine actually had her water break in the office. Another was told by her doctor to stop working three weeks before she was due. She walked out of the office on Friday and was in labor on Saturday.
Yes, this does happen.
Yes, this does happen.
Yes, Guy's still got it! I was grabbing on to my chair... nuff said!
now that I got that off my chest...
When Dano told Eva that he had told her a thousand times he was crazy about her after he suggested they go home and pick up Laurita and come back to live there forever (AWWWW... but remember, this place belongs to the Arizendis, so I would say get the heck out a there! guys!), she asked him if he had really ran out of gas, he just smiled like a little kid and said maybe she should get dressed so they can leave... (LOL!!)
So I was wrong, he definitely lied about the out of gas detail... lol but Eva did not seem to mind that much (huge grin)

I too hope Eva is not pregant... that plotline is worn out already, let her just go on, become an executive (remember what Vicky said way back when while Dano was hiding in the closet? 'If you were an executive instead of house help, I would consider you competition...' well, Vicky, she IS already competition and Eva is probably on the way to becoming the executive, so there!!)
I was LOL at Vicky turning Dano's bedroom around, she even tripped on some of the stuff... i wonder what she used to write the message on the mirror... shaving cream?
IT must have been SOME message for Jackie to put deer in the headlights eyes as soon as she saw it... we'll see tonight... and I agree, let Dano see eveyrthing, don't dare clean it up before he gets home!

Since this is supposed to be happening in L.A. rather than Mexico they might call the police who would tell them to touch nothing in the room. Well see in about two hours.
I'm also very curious to see what Vicky wrote on the mirror and what she says/does to Eva.
Urban- I have many friends who work up to and past their due dates (one of them right this moment actually). I was just using that as an example of Eva having to use every second from this point forward to work her way up to the board room and give us some real fireworks at the agency if she is already pregnant. We know from past telenovelas that once the baby is born, so will another storyline be born. Then we can get to baby switches, baby nappings, baby/parent separations and such. Before that, we need the working her way up to become the alpha-female ad executive storyline.

vivi-the out-of-gas ruse was...smooth, because it worked and she was okay with the outcome. If she wasn't so smitten it would have been creepy but she was hot and heavy and ready to go along. She started undressing him first!
Please Please not the pregnant and get her out of there and Daniel doesn't know about the baby thing...then all we would need is the baby to be stolen and Eva as La LLorona in the LA wilderness crying MI HIJA for months on end!

Hi y'all again! Thanks for such great comments. I remember that I took my last test for my masters, was walking around campus on Friday and had my baby on Saturday. Tho' I don't want any pregnancy before Eva gets a chance to make her mark, either. It is such an old tired plot line. However, she could get married por lo civil, get all her training and then all Hell could break lose, etc. due to the red car. On the other hand, where is that car? If she does get to know him well enough, she'll see that car before she is married and before Leo has a chance to use it against Dan. One thing nice about this tn is that it isn't a story we already know. Has the ending already been taped? Dunno. This thing could go in any direction.
Max! Pobre Max! Oh and the anguish Don Julio suffered. :( I just don't know if I can watch any more. *sniff*
Thank you so much for the wonderful recap, Jardinera! Re: the possibility of Eva being Julio and Justa´s child because they could never have produced a child like Vicky. If there are any STuD watchers reading this, remember alot was said about the slim chances that JM could be Rosendo´s son because of how wonderful JM was and how awful Rosendo was. So it is the resverse in EVA, but as STuD turns out, he really WAS the biological son of Rosendo. So go figure...anything is up for grabs! And how do we know that Daniel doesn´t carry around ¨protection¨? Besides, maybe he was hoping that the outcome was exactly what happened?
I felt so bad for Don Julio when he found Max deceased. But I knew that was going to happen because of Max´s sluggish behavior. Then I went and scooped up my dog, Bagel the Beagle, who is old and has cancer and kidney failure, and cried. I think Julio and Justa will be the heroes of this TN! At least I hope so!

But isn't Icktoria someone else's child? Marcela and Julio are not her biological parents, but I think only Marcela and Renata know that.
I somehow think she's related to Renata.
Per your example of JM in STuD, remember that Carlos Manuel and Jose Maria in Abrazame Muy Fuerte were both the sons of Federico Rivera, one of Televisa's most perverse villains. It was nurture -- not nature -- that made them good men.

Urban- In a previous conversation Renata and Marci spoke about stealing Justa's child and then passing her off as an adopted baby for Julio. That baby being Vicky. Justa and Julio were lovers/novios. Renata and Justa are sisters. So, Renata is Vicky's aunt, and Julio is her bio dad, although he doesn't know that.
Thanks to Jardinera for her excellent work recapping.
Did anyone notice DJ woke up feeling wonderful "Im going to the garden" at the same time poor 'ol Max didn't wake up? Are they trying to say DJ is only ill because Marcela is slowly poisoning him? (What is his illness anyway, did anyone catch that?) And why were they mixing his medicine (a sinister looking bottle of dark liquid) in his coffee anyway? They made a point of showing this in earlier episodes.

Hi again. I would like to know what is the song that plays during Eva and Daniel's love scenes. (Not "El", the other one.) Please and thank you. :-)
