Eva Luna #44 Thu 1/6/11 Bride of Psycho, Death Row Madame, Mr Mice Guy and a JollyOldMan plan their moves

This was sent to me by Marta...

We see psycho Bimbutt knife and all all over Dano while he sleeps. Dano wakes up and jumps up from bed… He is very anxious with deer in headlights focus.
PB: I love you, Daniel, so much that I can’t live without you! I love you!
Dano: But if you love me so much why do you want to harm me??
PB: Because you don’t love me!!
Dano: I do love you! I love you! But let go that knife!
PB: You are lying!! You don’t care about me!! You don’t love me as I love you!! (we got that already, psycho, any other words in your vocabulary?)
Dano: Yes I do!
PB: No its not true!! (he finally gets to grab her hand with the knife)
No!! Its not true!! And I prefer to see you dead before I see you together with her!!! ( and begins to wrestle her… get get jumped out to the boarding house…) LET GO!! LET GO!!

Pea-Brain Ali: Jiji!! I knew it! Ever since I met Daniel, ever since I saw him with you, it showed that he was crazy about you!! I loved him as a prospect for you! Didn’t I tell you??
Eva: Yes. You always were certain he loved me. And now we will be married!! I will be his wife in 2 days!!! (she is in la-la land)
PBA: I don’t want to rain on your parade, but what are you going to do about your job?
Eva: I have to go, Alicia. I need to talk to Don JollyO. I don’t want to quit before he knows it…. I will tell him how it was that we fell in love. I feel that he needs to hear it from me. I feel like I should tell him.
PBA: And why the secrecy of the marriage?
Eva: SO that noone will stop that train.

Back to Psycho and prince charming…
Dano: Let go before you hurt yourself!! … What the heck is wrong with you?? Did you really want to kill me?? Are you THAT Crazy??
PB: (crying loudly falls to floor desperate) I am so in love I don’t know what I do…forgive me!
Dano: How can I forgive you when you do something like this??
PB: Understand that I go crazy knowing you don’t love me!! Seeing you with another makes me crazy! Makes me lose control !! It blinds me!! It makes me crazy!!
Dano: Victoria!
PB: I am crazy of anger, of desperation, of rage!!
Dano: Calm down! … take it easy.. I know after all I am partly to blame for what is happening. I swear that I did not mean for you to suffer this way! It hurts me to see you feel that way!
PB: But for me you are the most important! The most important being!! Why, Daniel?? Why could you not love me as I love you??
Dano: I don’t know, Victoria. The only thing I know for sure is that it would have been worse if we married and then you came to realize I don’t love you as you deserve!!
PB: NEVER!!! I will NEVER settle to not having you!! NEVER!!

Back to the boarding house… PBA lies to Eva again about her studies and this morning’s exam… PBA Repeats she is so happy Eva is marrying Daniel. Eva says she is completely happy to hear again that Alicia is doing so well at school.

PB makes a visit to her dear Death row mother… DRM is surprised but not really freaked to see her dressed in her wedding gown…

Loser Tony gets in Alicia’s room, she is mad he came in her room and she does not want more trouble with Eva. Tony protests he does not want to hear about Eva again, he is fed up with the theme of Eva!!

PB tells DRM she could not resist the temptation of putting on the wedding gown and feeling like she is still going ot marry Daniel… But she realized the wedding is off and the dress is stained with deception and betrayal. PB admits to DRM she tried to kill Dano and Eva… first with the gun and then with the knife… DRM says she has ot control herself. PB says she feels alone, neither Leonardo nor her have done anything to help her. DRM promises her she will have a solution to her problems tomorrow morning… To that one and another one that affects the family, Claw’s pregnancy.

Alicia keeps rejecting Tony and she yells at him all the ‘ways he loves her’, except that this time Eva got to hear about her being ejected from school, so her secret is out. Eva is mad…
Eva and Tony shout insults and ‘YOU are to blame for Ali’s troubles’… Tony curses Eva.
Alicia defends Eva and yells at Tony she is to blame for having let herself be tricked by him. Eva reprimends Alicia for lying to her all this time.

DRM calls Claw and arranges for Claw to come to the office early tomorrow. Claw asks if she convinced her dear son to accept the baby. DRM says she wants to come to an agreement… Claw is not willing to get rid of the baby. DRM says she wants to arrange how they will deal with the issue of the baby in public. DRM convinces Claw this meeting is to settle how her relationship with the Arizmendis will go once the baby comes. Claw swallows the bait hook line and sinker.

PBA promises Eva (for the Nth time) that she will never listen to Loser Tony again.

At the gym, Tony waltzes in with excuse Leo called for him… Tony behaves very nasty to the gym employee then begins to whistle to the pretty girls around. Leo wants Tony to call Dano and gives him a name to use… (we don’t’ hear details yet…) Apparently Tony does not recognize Daniel’s name… Leo says it is important he follows his instructions exactly.

Justa has called for Beatriz. She tells her what she remembered in her dream last night. And this time she remembers almost all the details of the dream, including the name of the town and the name of the doctor that attended her. Beatriz agrees to go with her to Santa Rosa to look for the hospital and/or the grave where they put her daughter’s body.
Beatriz volunteers to drive, Justa thanks God for sending Beatriz back into her life.

DRM is still reprimending PB at breakfast… PB is impatient… DRM says that is why she is in the situation she is in, for lack of patience and acting on impulse instead of planning what she will do. DRM already thought of something to get rid of Eva legally… It will send Eva to jail for many years.

Don JollyO receives Dr Garcia, who brings him the results of the lab tests on the bottle of ‘medicine’… Dr Garcia does not look like he carries very good news…

Daniel tells his secretary Maria that he is marrying Eva, she is really happy for him. She says his happiness showed always. They celebrate, she will take care of arranging all the details. Dano tells her to call the boutique he and Eva were a while back and order several dresses for Eva.

Dr Garcia gives JollyO the bad news… initial tests did not reveal anything but some vitamin supplements but there was a weird component in the formula… HE did further testing and there is a lethal component. In other words, that medicine was fatal. Whoever prescribed that medicine for you wanted to kill you.

Daniel continues telling Maria about all the details they have to plan. Maria asks when he will tell DRM about his trip, he says not until we are about to board the plane to avoid any surprise moves on her part.

Tony calls Daniel’s office and says he is Mr Lozano regarding the part he was waiting for for the sports car (the red one). Dano at first is a bit suspicious given his facial language (that is to be expected since Tony does not mention any details of the shop Dano left the car at, and also says he is not really linked to the shop, he is an independent trader of rare collector parts LOL!!), but eventually buys the story and arranges for them to meet. Dano makes the mistake to tell the guy he is about to go on a trip. Tony then arranges for them to meet today, with the excuse he is also about to go on a trip.

DRM tells PB she is making all the arrangements for her plan to send Eva to jail. And once she has a document she needs, she will let Vicky send Eva to jail personally.

Jolly O asks Dr Garcia what would happen if someone got drops of it regularly for a year. DrG says that person would be suicidal if they knew what they were doing. JollyO asks if they took that for a year, would it be found they were poisoned at an autopsy? DrG says no, it would seem they died of old age when in fact their death was by poison.

Leo gets to the office and Tony texts him that the first step was completed. Leo is happy.
He tells Lucy the receptionist that today will be a very good day, full of events.

As JollyO escorts DrG out, he has a small heart failure, DrG yells at him to go see him asap after he learns JollyO has been taking that ‘medicine’ for months, almost a year.
DrG left the lab results on JollyO’s desk.. As DrG leaves, JollyO thinks that DRM wanted a slow death for him, but she failed, now is his vengeance, Marcela…

DRM is practicing copying Dano’s signature from a document he signed.

At kitchen, Eva is fixing JollyO’s breakfast, she is waiting until JollyO’s visit is gone.
Aurelia asks Eva what is wrong, Eva looks very anxious/nervous. Eva tells her today is her last day there… but don’t tell anyone… and she tells her why, Eva asks Aurelia how she knew where PB had taken Eva. Aurelia tells her she overheard Leo tell Armando where to find her, and Eva tells her Dano proposed that night.

DRM signs a check in Dano’s name, then congratulates herself on her skill copying his signature. IT is a check for 25K written to Eva’s name. Then DRM shows it to PB, PB is curious and surprised her mom could copy Dano’s signature that well. DRM tells PB her plan is that she will ask Eva to go to the bank to cash the check for her. They will then accuse Eva of stealing the money and noone will believe Eva. DRM tells PB she has to be REALLY nice to Eva, has to convince her she trusts her and will have to confess something very important to Eva… (what could that be?)

Eva goes to see JollyO and right now feels very sad, discuraged… Then he tells her Max his loyal dog died yesterday. Eva gets really upset. He says we burried him in the garden. Eva tells him how sad she is… JollyO notes to Eva that he has seen more of a reaction in her than in any other person who lives in his house. Eva says she knew how much he loved Max. JollyO says Max gave his life for him… She asks why, he says will tell you later. Eva tries to tell him what she came to tell him but he won’t let her tell him anything, he has a lot of things to think about

Justa and Beatriz get to Santa Rosa and to the place. Justa recognizes the place… They speak to a man. He says yes, the clinic was here but was destroyed by an earthquake… Justa immediately remembers briefly the earthquake… In her memory some lady named Mercedes helped her out, then fell over… She also wants to go to the cemetery, want to find my daughter’s grave, it is the only thing that will make me at peace

DRM is at office, tells her sec to get Giorgio to bring a pot of decaf coffee (her favorite way to kiss someone off…)

PB follows DRM’s plan and gives Eva the check to take to the bank to cash… she confesses to Eva that her wedding is off, Dano replaced her with another woman. Eva is shocked… PB continues saying she does not blame anyone, not him nor her. We have to go on… It is hard for her to stay around, so she wants to leave town for a few months to be able to start over later. Leaving tonight… Take the check to the bank and cash it for her. Will send her in a taxi because Armando is busy with her mom. Eva should not run into problems since at bank they are used to doing this for the company. Just use your own ID, I wrote the check in your name.

Giorgio brings the pot with the coffee. Bruno shows up with excuse to get Marcela to finalize the designer and makeup artists they will hire… and the wardrobe of the show. Marcela has no time. Giorgio offers to take care of it for her, DRM likes the idea, but Bruno protests ‘Marcela!!’… Giorgio repeats his offer. DRM is happy to delegate to Giorgio… Bruno again protests… DRM replies ‘the time to speak against me is over!’ (la hora de llevarme la contraria ya se acabo!’ LOL!) DRM is told that Claw has arrived at reception.

DRM drops about an ounce of the ‘medicine’ in the coffee pot.

Eva arrives at the bank and is in the process of cashing the check… Several bank employees see her (From the slomo and camera angles we are made to believe this is important)

Previews show that this was the episode of the calm before the storm… Leo follows his plan to reveal to Eva that Dano was the owner/driver of the car that killed Eva’s dad… while Eva cashes the check at the bank and we see DRM shouting to someone that Eva stole money from the company and she wants to accuse her!!

Comments:
Thank you Marta for such a detailed recap! There was so much dialogue in this episode and I couldn't keep up with it. I learned a lot.
Maybe I was imagining it, but I think Dr. G said the poison was strychnine.
Does anyone one else wonder why Eva didn't at least glance at the check she was supposed to cash? One also wonders if Leo would go along with Marzilla if he knew she was trying to put Eva in jail. What, is he going to visit her in jail to tell her Dan was driving the car that killed her father?
 

And why on earth would any ad agency need $25K in cash? Not to mention that it would never be withdrawn this way.

These people need to be hit with a clue by four.
 

Thanks for the recap Marta,
Is Eva stupid or what, why in heavens name would she believe anything Vicky told her, not more than a couple of hours before she told Justa she didn't believe Vicky had good intension where she (Eva) was concerened. WELL DUH
Then she goes and takes a check for 25K from Vicky, with the check signed by Daniel. HELLO EVA IS ANYONE HOME. Where is this womens brain, she should have called Daniel after looking at the check, and asked him if he wrote her a check. Man is Debra going to be PISSED when she finds out Eva's in jail for stealing money. Speaking of Debra isn't it almost time for her to come back from Paris? And their's nothing preventing Daniel from not pressing charges against Eva, b/c after all the check was signed by him. WTH!! Marcella did not think that when she forged Daniel signature on that check, that all Daniel had to do was go along with it and get the 25K from Don Julio. B/c both men will know that, 1st Daniel didn't sign any check for Eva out of the company account, and 2nd where would Eva have come into contact with the company checkbook "if" she did forge a check. b/c she hasn't been inside the Headquarters building, and she doesn't have access in the house? Michele in PA
 

Ladies, I totally agree that Eva's brain went on vacation if she made it to the bank before she even called Daniel (did he really lose his cell phone at the forest looking for Eva as he told her housemates?)...
and I heard 'esterlina' (not sure whether to translate it to another name or if it is actual silver).
 

I agree with Michelle that between Dano and JollyO they could get Eva out of trouble (given JollyO is the actual owner of the ad company, even though DRM always claims she is). It would be hard for her now to declare him unfit to make decisions... lol...
and yes, Leo would not be a happy camper knowing his mom is trying to lock up Eva...
wouldn't it be funny if both Eva and Dano end up in jail? so close and yet so far... and neither Leo nor Vicky would have access to them. Except Leo and Vicky would have a field day feeding lies to each to make them hate each other more.
 

Thanks Marta...plot developments are moving into the twilight zone of unbelievability, so I guess it's time to pull out the beanie.

I agree with Emarie and Urban...I worked in advertising in my "early years"...you don't need cash like that laying around.

Problem I have with the writers is that the plans Leo and Marcella are putting into affect are full of holes, easily thwarted, but they will have our good guys go brain-dead, fall for everything hook, line and sinker and that will stretch out the TN.

There's has been some hopeful signs that once in awhile plots don't work, like with Julio, but I'm just not hopeful right now. And I think Eva might be the one that goes all naive. Why or why do writers do this?

And someone shove a lollipop down Tony's throat and get rid of this character. He's just annoying and worthless.
 

then again strychnine is in spanish 'estricnina' so it could be that too. The description in dictionary says it has been used as rat poison for centuries, so it could be.
 

Marta, Thanks for the detailed recap. I agree with others here that there are several holes in Marcella's plan. Daniel certainly, or hopefully will believe Eva if she tells him Vicky gave him the check.

It was really sad when Julio was telling Eva about Max and that she seemed more concerned than any of his family.
 

Marta--I like your direct style and thank you for the dialog.

I caught strychnine, too. It's very bitter. That's why Marcie was hiding it in his coffee (not tea). Remember when Renata objected the last night of Max's life when he said he would drink his medicine with water, she mentioned it.

WAKE UP EVA--who goes on a trip with $25K in cash these days? Even un-rich people like me have debit and credit cards. She should have gotten a receipt from Vicky, haha.

Emaire, you're right--Leo would absolutely not go along with Marcie's plan for Eva. He would want Dano in jail. Seems to me that's why she forged his signature--so he could also be accused.

I wonder if Leo would go along with Marcie's plan for poor Claw and Child.

Marta, I think you are so funny giving us the image of both Dan and Eva in jail, out of reach of both Leo and Vick--except through glass partitions.

It looks like Leo's ruse is going to work faster than Marcie's.

Our lovebirds face unsurmountable odds. I wonder if Lollipop boy will do a 180 once he finds out that Dan is Alicia's future brother-in-law and will come clean about his part to get Alicia back.

Michele--Completely forgot about the Parisian woman and her name. She should probably be making a return trip home to talk to Marcie about their make-up tie-in (I think that was it). She still doesn't know WHERE her daughters are and probably wouldn't recognize them either nor if their names were changed (see LVO).

Also, Michele, ITA about Dan defending the signature as being his and having authorized it rather than trying to challenge it. He probably has an extra $25K in his checking account.

Maybe Marcie's idea was to get them both into trouble for embezzling. She needs to think ahead a bit more because she needs to have Vick safely married to Dan before she gets rid of him and Laurita. She can't do that if she put him in jail.

BTW--Does anyone know why this tn is called Eva Luna when we know that Eva's last name is Gonzales (other than it might be because the moon was significant for their first kiss).
Una Norteamericana
 

Gracias, Marta! I was unable to see this capitulo last night, so very much appreciate your fine attention to detail!!

It seems like the heroines always have these moments of going brain dead on the TN.

Who is this Parisian woman and what is her relationship to Cruella?

Susanita
 

The parisian woman (by the way, last time we saw her on screen she was on phone and she said she ahd just bought a house in California or LA, so we should see her return from Paris any moment now...) her name is Deborah and apparently/supposedly she is the mother of Eva and Alicia who abandoned them and their dad Ismael to follow some rich guy.
 

I agree that Daniel could come up with $25 at a moment's notice, after all he was more than willing to buy a car on the fly when he went to that car show with Leonardo in the first week of novela and came out having bought one of the cars (I believe the one he just gave Eva as a gift)
 

Thank you again, Martai! You always get the details and your titles are terrific! I sort of feel Dano will be able to pull this out of the hat and it will make him more aware than ever of how tricky these Arizmendi women are. This embezzlement thing and the knife incident might be just the last straw before the tables turn. I worry about Claw dying and then she wouldn't be able to clarify anything to either Dan or Eva, nor would she be able to point to Icky as the one who put acid in that other model's face cream.
 

I think they have to have Claw on the TN a little longer. B/c she knows all the dirt on the Arismendi family. What I don't understand is how Bruno and Leo's Assistant play in all this? And who the Heck is running that Company b/c seems to me no one has been in their offices for over a week? Leo, Marsella, and Dano have all been pre-occupied with other things. And Vicky's busy keeping her crazy contained. ( which I might add is a all day thing for her) Also I thought the private dick that Vicky hired to spy on Dano was also working for Debra. I thought he said something about the pic's when they were on the computer and he was making the photo for Icky. There are lots more threads to this TN for it to end with just Dano and Eva. There's still the whole Alicia, Carols,Leo and Tony thing, there's the Gerogio, Marsole, Franc,and Jacky thing, there's the Leo, Claw, and Baby thing, There's Justa, Reneta, Julio,Debra, Richardo, Tia Tilda,and Maracella thing, There's the Mob boss, Adrian father, Tony,and other Dancer who works with Marsole thing. Yup I think we can get the 89 more episodes out of this. Michele in PA
 

On reflection--I think it is going to be Don Julio to the rescue!! We've heard him say that he has big plans for Eva once he "returns" to the company--and we've all been speculating as to what that might be. I don't think he's going to let Marcela and Vicky get away with such an implausible set-up.

Yes, what's with Bruno anyway. He started out on the scene as a major player, but now has faded into the background somewhat, until Marcela so rudely rebuffed him. I wonder if she or the writers are tired of him. Anyway, she treated him as an underling rather than a partner.

Michele--Is Leo's assistant the one in cahouts with Bruno? I'll have to take a closer look. Those two have some beef with the Arismendi empire, enough to want to ruin it. It was discussed earlier whether it was for revenge or greed.

Also, I can't remember now if Debra got some pictures of the girls from a detective or not. We know from her conversation that he was still looking. My guess is that it was not the same private detective. She would have wanted a legitimate whereas the one Marcie recommended to Vicky was through the shady side of her business.

If Claw doesn't drink the strychnine-laced coffee, I wonder if someone else will.
Una Nte-Am
 

Thanks, Marta, for the great recap. For what it's worth, I too heard the doctor say "estricnina," so the poison is definitely strychnine. Since that's probably what Marcela has put into Claw's coffee as well, I wonder whether the fact that Julio now knows that Marcela was using strychnine on him will turn out to be important. I guess it will only be important if 1) Claw dies and 2) tests can pick up the fact that it was strychnine that killed her.

I agree with all the other commenters about Eva's having gone brain dead. Again.

As for the check, Marcela practiced signing Dano's name, but she also had to write in Eva's name. I'd be surprised if she was able to make that, too, look like Dano's writing without seeing something to copy.

I also wonder whether Don Julio will come to the rescue if the various plots succeed in incriminating Dano and Eva. It is Don Julio's company, after all, and he has expressed the wish to get back to heading it.

Una Norteamericana, I like your idea about Lollypop Boy doing a 180 to win back Alicia. As much as I don't like Tony and don't want to see him redeemed, it looks as if he may very well be redeemed, and what better way than the one you suggest?

I'd forgotten all about Deborah...now I'm really curious about how she'll figure into the thickening plot.
 

Una Norteamericana,

Yup, they are cousin or something like that, after Bruno and Marcy had there love scene. She showed up and her and Bruno toasted about Marcy falling into the trap. Michele in PA
 

I loved the recap style, felt like I was reading their script!

Can someone please tell me how to open up the EVA FEED..when I click on it I can see the dates and episodes but when I click on them nothing happens...what am I dont wrong? how do I read the older recaps like before?

thanks,
Elle
 

Juanita--Hope you see this.
Marcela didn't have to forge Eva's name at all. Banks will take checks made out to cash by the person presenting the check. According to the story Vicky gave Eva, she didn't have time to go to the bank herself, so she made the check out to her, but that it was done that way all the time.

I'm sure Dan and DonJ will step up to the plate.

After last night's scene in Carlos' jail cell, I'm not sure Lollipop Boy is redeemable. We'll have to wait and see.
Una Norteamericana
 

I was wondering if any of you knew the lenght of this soap. It's pretty intense right now. Leonardo just accused Daniel of killing Eva's father, well, eventually, the truth will come out and Leo will be found guilty.. will he go to jail then? Or do you think this won't happen till the end of the soap? just wondering.
 

Rossana--From the few tn's I've watched, they last anywhere from 5-6 months (5 nights a week, w/interruptions for gran shows, etc.)

This one started November 1, so technically, it should end in April or May.

Since I don't want to accidentally see any spoilers, I haven't checked any other websites on exactly how long Eva is.

And--You're right, it is getting very intense right now. Leo blaming Dan for the hit and run is going to be a major disruption to Dan's and Eva's plans. I'm sure it will take many episodes to straighten out. Hang in there--this is a super good tn.

You will know from commentors that we all wish evil, nasty ends to the villains. Sometimes we are rewarded, many times they get off too easy. Leo is a hard one to read. Like I said earlier, except for the hit and run, he hasn't committed the kinds of crimes Marcela has. She has major punishment coming--or else we revolt.

If the tn follows LA law, Leo would probably get jail time, license suspension and a fine. Depending on who you are and who your lawyer is, some of the jail time could turn into a suspended sentence, community service (ha, I can just see Leonardo picking up trash in the park), and traffic school.

Any LA'ers out there who are familiar with this?
Una Norteamericana
 

Couldn't let this last bit of info pass before we get Friday's recap.

Martaivett-The Debra connection. I went back to the very first episode and here is what Jardinera posted hinting at why they were in LA.

"In another part of the city, Ismael checks the address he was given and ends up at a gated community. One of the workman there tells him to come back the next day because the Sra. will be interviewing a relative of his for a job at that time, then she’ll be going on a long trip after that and unavailable. Ismael agrees to return the next day."

Marcela wasn't going anywhere, although she was going to have to replace Rita. Ismael had to have been at Debra's house and the trip she was going on was the one to Paris.

So, unless this is completely a red herring, Marcela is out as Eva's real mother, but Don Julio is still in the running as the real Dad, no? Unless we are to believe that Debra and Ismael really were married and produced these two lovelies.

If Debra and DonJ did some cositas to bring Eva into the world, it seems likely that Marcela would have found out and not have let Debra live for very long. Just major speculation on my part. Disregard or discuss...
Una Nte-Am
 

Una Nte-Am,

ITA about Don Julio beging Eva's father, b/c if Dona Justa had that mother thing with Icky-vicky. Then Julio had that father thing with Eva when he felt her danger/hurt in the woods. No telling who her mother might be.
Anyone know if Julio and his first wife had any children?
And did Marcela do away with her also?
Michele in PA
 

Jardinera--Could you put up the link for comments and discussion for Friday 1/7? I'm willing to try a major action recap in the comment section if your regularly-scheduled recapper isn't able to finish. It's such a tough one to do--I ached for Eva and was literally spitting at Leo through the whole red car scenes.
Una Nte-Am
 

oh thank you for this recap and the laughs i got from "Pea-Brain Ali" and JollyOldMan hahaha
