Eva Luna #42 Tue 1/4/11 A kidnapping and a dog buried in the garden.
Lo siento, I'm sorry, I've got computer complications (nothing bad, just transferring to a new hard drive) and I haven't got my video capture software installed yet. So this will probably be a media-free recap unless I manage to add something in the morning. Plus, I need a nap. LOL.
We start with crazy Icky greeting Eva when Eva opens the door. Icky tries her best to look sane.
Don Julio is looking at a dead Max and mourning his loss when Renata comes in and asks what's going on. Don Julio is quick on his feet and says that Max "must have had a heart attack in the middle of the night." Renata seems genuinely horrified.
Marcela has come to see Claw in hopes of buying her off. She will write a check if Claw won't have the baby. Claw is not swayed because she wants the baby.
Poor Don Julio wants Max buried in the garden and Renata balks, saying that they ought to consult Marcela first. Don Julio pops a cork and says it is HIS HOUSE and he wants Max buried in the garden and he doesn't want to hear any opinions about it.
Marcela warns Claw not to play with fire. Claw is not afraid and talks about the risk of scandal. They smirk at each other in a threatening way and then Marcela takes off.
Dan's come home and a distressed Jacky and Francisco try to explain what Evil Icky has been up to. Danny's eyes get wide as saucers at their tale and he rushes up to check the damage in his bedroom.
He sees the crazy talk on the mirror (the writing that Icky put there). It says "15 days to the wedding, I love you" FREAK FREAK FREAK she is such a FREAK! Danny thinks so too. He also sees the unopened present that she gave him on the bed.
He says to himself with great resolve that NOTHING is going to prevent him from marrying Eva!
They're burying Max in the garden and having a nice little ceremony. I'm going to miss Max. Renata and that nice maid are in attendance, along with Don Julio. Then Don Julio asks to be alone and tells Max that his death saved his (Don Julio's) life and he thanks Max. "Adios para siempre my friend" he says. *sniff* Aw man, Don Julio is choked up too.
Icky is wearing the industrial strength padded butt for her visit to Eva. She gives some lame excuse for abandoning Eva out in the forest like that and then asks Eva how she fared. Eva is evasive as Icky looks intently at her. Then Icky starts talking about how the wedding is driving her crazy! It's coming up soon! FREAK FREAK FREAK! She is such a freak and I'm not just taking about the fake butt.
Doña Justa comes in to see what's going on and is introduced to Icky. They both give each other fish eyes as if they KNOW something significant has just happened. I hate to break it to you Justa, but your long lost hija is a FREAK.
Don Julio says he has to know if the evil telenovela drops are poison. He sends off a sample in an envelope to a Doctor Garcia. (Uh oh, let's hope they make it to their destination!)
Icky and Justa are introduced briefly, their weird psychic moment apparently over. Icky goes to leave and hands Eva her cell phone and says cryptically, "You missed a lot of phone calls."
Just a seems weirded out and says that this Victoria is strange and asks Eva what she wanted. Eva says she's not sure, but she was sure that Icky was not sincere.
Chit-chat BS between Marisol and Francisco. Yawn.
Alicia and Marisol are also talking BS about Marisol marrying Francisco. Back and forth between Marisol and Francisco. Basically they are both being questioned about how they can pull off being a millionaire when they're not.
Don Julio is entrusting Renata with the envelope with the poison sample. He says it's to be sent to a friend of his. He looks searchingly in her eyes and says he must trust her and she cannot tell Marcela. Renata says she'll prove that she can be trusted and he pats her shoulder as she looks discombobulated by this close contact and walks off.
Justa is talking to to her neighborhood padré. She talks about her recurrent nightmares regarding losing her baby. She dreads having to finally confront her sister Renata to ask her how come she left her (Justa) at the clinic. The priest thinks that maybe finally doing that will help put the nightmares behind her.
Renata has been given a ride by the chauffeur and is holding the envelope.
More talk with Justa and the priest. I missed bits of this but I think they're discussing confronting both Renata and Don Julio (the father of her hija). Maybe they aren't even alive anymore, but she needs to check it out.
Eva's at her dad's graveside, telling of her good news about a boda with Daniel. Creepy Leo is hanging out and watching her from a distance.
After the break, creepy Leo approaches Eva and says to himself that he's going to change things. He taps her on the shoulder which shocks her, but then they start chatting amiably about her dad. Then he asks her, "How did your dad die?"
Danny visits Laurita in her room and tells her that he's going to marry Eva. She's understandably elated.
Eva starts telling Leo about how her dad died. Her eyes get hard and she is full of hatred and desire for revenge as she tells of the person who hit her dad and left him to die like a dog. Leo starts connecting the dots. He asks her did she see what kind of car it was. She says oh yeah.
Renata apparently sent off the envelope as Don Julio requested, but she is curious about what's going on here?
Eva is saying that it was a RED car. Leo has a flashback of him hitting her dad with Danny's red car and he looks shaken. No puede ser! No puede ser! he says as Eva asks what's going on. He presses her for more info.
Idiot Alicia is (I think) trying to call Leo and stamps her foot prettily when she can't reach him.
Renata is waiting for the chauffeur to pick her up, but who should wander by but Justa. Renata looks impactada and exclaims "Justa!" Justa looks up, and the same thing—impactada and says "Renata!"
Justa is MAD and says "After all this time!" and obviously wants an explanation from Renata. Renata totally chickens out and gets out of there as Justa yells for her to stay.
Eva wants to know why Leo looks so shaken and freaked out. He says it's because his uncle died the same way. He then asks her to tell him more and she tells him as we have a flashback of the stuff dad said to Eva right before he was hit. She tells of her dad being hit and how she yelled at the guy in the car to help but he didn't, and if he had helped that maybe her dad wouldn't have died.
Leo looks more impactado about this. (Viewerville is probably thinking right now that Eva's given him all the ammunition he needs to turn her away from Daniel, since it's Daniel's red car.)
Alicia is frustrated because she can't reach Leo, and Marisol gives her some advice about men which I admit just passed me on by. (I'll try to fill this in later, or if someone else does it first, please do!) Then Alicia says she's got to go visit Carlos in jail. (Yeah, what about Carlos, anyway?)
Leo asks Eva would she recognized the car that hit her dad and she says with steely eyes that she could "with her eyes closed." Eva goes on to swear that she will make this guy PAY! You can see the wheels in Leo's evil head spinning.
Back at the mansion, the nice maid is telling Icky that there's a box that's been delivered, and it's on her bed.
Justa is chasing Renata and she is PISSED. Renata has fallen (funny how we don't see her fall—one minute we see feet stumbling and then we see the actress on the ground.) Renata is saying she can't take it anymore and Justa is out for blood and is saying that after ALL THIS TIME! Renata says you were dead! "Why did you leave me in that clinic?" Justa yells. Renata has folded like a deck of cards and is a wimpy mess crying and whining. Then Justa demands that Renata tell her where the grave of her daughter is.
Renata is crying and saying she doesn't know where the baby is buried, and that the doctor arranged all of that, or she was told that. Justa says that she never knew of any burial arrangements. Renata wants to get the heck out of there and Justa tries to detail her and begs her: Where was the clinic where she was left, where are the people that ran the clinic? Renata knows nothing and just wants to go like right now.
The box delivered for Icky is her wedding dress. She opens it and looks at it with delight as creepy music plays.
Justa beseeches Renata to come to her house but Renata snaps and says never, she hates her! Renata runs off. Justa looks on with shock and dismay, cries, and collapses to the ground.
"Because of Eva, I will not marry" freaky Icky is saying to herself as she clutches her wedding dress.
Alicia visits a surly and designer-stubbled Carlos in jail. Carlos glowers.
Back at the pension Eva comes in and sees a Don Ricardo and Adrian doing some painting on the walls. She chats with them for a bit.
Carlos is ticked off and bitter. He tells Alicia that Tony told him everything—that she and Tony are off the NYC. Alicia is outraged and says that's not true. She babbles about coming to see him with Marisol, and how she's been worried about him but afraid to come see him. Carlos just doesn't give a darn anymore and is bitter, bitter, bitter.
Eva's helping with the painting of part of the pension and getting paint on herself. Daniel comes to the door and Adrian answers. Eva does not want him to see her like this but of course he does. She's got blue paint on her face. They look adoringly at each other and give each other cute smiles. Danny says he's come to "kidnap" her. Eva goes to clean up and Adrian invites Danny to help them paint, but he declines.
Carlos is bitter and pissed and tells Alicia like it is. He tried to cover up for a silly girl and he's going to be stuck in jail for years because of it. Alicia whines and cries prettily about how bad she feels. Carlos says, don't worry about it. Go on with your life and when I get out of jail I'll be back to collect what I lost. (Oooooh. Carlos! Whoa dude!)
Eva's all cleaned up in a pretty red dress and Danny is showing her his own Love Shack, or Love Room. A low table with food on it, candles lit, rose pedals strewn on the ground. This is their romantic night. They say some romantic things to each other and then start with the romantic night with some lip locking.
Leo's at home, and shakily gets himself a drink. You can tell he's freaked because the whites of his eyes are showing. Another flashback of the hit-and-run of Eva's dad and he's connecting the dots some more about him being the one that hit the dad.
Danny's cooking a romantic dinner for Eva, who not only has a pretty but low-cut red dress, but a new hairstyle. I guess she had time for a makeover when she cleaned off that paint.
Leo is talking to himself some more about hitting Eva's dad when Icky comes in and starts tearing into him and complaining about Eva and Danny and how they spent the night together. She reminds him that he promised he'd help with separating Eva and Danny and making Eva hate Danny. If he doesn't do something soon, she'll do it "her way." Uh oh, Leo doesn't like the sound of that.
Back to Eva and Danny. Why, as it happens, everyone has left the building. Francisco's got the night off, Jacky's staying with her mom for the night, and Laurita's staying at a friend's house. Well, fancy that.
Leo says to Icky, "Okay, do it your way, but sooner or later Danny will find out, and I doubt he'll visit you in prison."
Renata interrupts to tell them that Marcela wants them to all have dinner. As Renata goes, Leo asks her if she's okay, because she looks bad. Renata seems surprised that he noticed. She claims that she's upset because Max died. Both Icky and Leo seem concerned and ask more. When she explains that he's buried in the garden, Marcela comes in, exclaims "Qué?" and seems outraged that a dog be buried in the garden! Renata says she questioned it too but Don Julio insisted. Then Marcela the witch says that she hated that animal and is glad he's gone.
Don Ricardo are finishing up painting and wondering what is keeping Justa.
Marcela is kvetching about her unhappy children at the dinner table when Renata comes in with some water and starts spilling it because she's so nervous. Marcela kvetches about that. Then Renata passes out.
Justa returns home and Don Ricardo and Adrian present the new paint job. Justa just gives them a fisheye and says it's nice and walks off. Adrian is puzzled and Don Ricardo knows something must have happened.
Danny and Ava are drinking wine and have a toast. Danny says he's got something very special for her and she gives him a knowing look over her wine glass. End of episode.
We start with crazy Icky greeting Eva when Eva opens the door. Icky tries her best to look sane.

So appreciate the recap! I couldn't watch last night and your great detail filled me in on everything. sort of glad I missed Max's funeral...I would have been a teary mess.
Knew the whole, it's really Dan's car thing, would come back to play into the plot. And we can only assume that Eva will go totally brain-dead and think Dano really did drive the car and kill her father. Bummer
So glad Carlos told Alicia off - that I would have liked to see. That girl needs a good slap up the side of the head.

Great job, Elvira! Freak!!!!!! Yes indeedy! I'm ready for Don Julio to take over the reins of his own business now and to get Eva involved in it. Daniel should love that! Can't wait to see how the little love nest works out. I'm holding out for a quickie wedding --keeping my fingers crossed. I also loved the way Carlos told Ali off, too. Maybe it will help her grow up and fight off Tony --the sleeze! I wonder if they'll have Max's ghost in this one....just sayin'. (I'm having STuD withdrawel myself! LOL!) I hope Julio gets himself another big pooch soon as well. We need a guard dog for Julio since Marcela is so evil. I'd love to see the next one growl at her everytime she appears.
Thanks, again Sweeney! Great recap and very fast! I like the fact that this tn is easy to recap for us.

Elvira, thanks so much for the great recap. I think you covered it all so well that I didn't even miss the visuals you usually put up. And I loved lines like Icky's "industrial strength padded butt."
I wasn't sure from your description whether you were implying that Freaky Icky really believed what she was saying to Eva about the wedding being so soon, etc. My impression is that Icky was simply trying to torment Eva.
Speaking of torment, Marcela and Claw were really at each other last night! I loved their mutual menacing, but I fear that Claw's simply not in Marcela's league. Claw seems to have a bit of decency left, whereas Marcela has no such hindrance.
Like some of the other commenters, I too was delighted that Carlos said what he did to Alicia. (I also thought he looked much better with his "designer-stubbled" chin.)
I was a bit surprised by Renata's fainting. I thought it was an iron-clad TN law that when a female character faints, it's a sure sign she's embarazada, but that's clearly not the case here.
I'm also surprised (and pleased) by how quickly the plot is moving. Misunderstandings that usually take weeks if not months to be resolved are sorted out in less than a week. As far as I can see, there's only one obstacle left in the path of Dano and Eva's boda: el carro rojo. But even if that derails things for, say, two weeks, what happens after that? The TN isn't close to being over, is it?

If Leo plans on convincing Eva that Dano is responsible for killing her father he will have to get Claw back on his side or get rid of her since, both she and his sister know something happened with the car when he was driving it. I forsee some blackmail.
I was also glad that Carlos told Alicia off.
What happened with the investigation against her?
I know Carlos stole the school records but what was Carlos actually charged with that he has to spend years in jail?
It seems that the last of the poison is out of Julio's body so, hopfully he'll be able to standup against Mercela and make it to the end of the show.

Great recap, alot of detail. I am 50/50 on this novela. Am surprised that Don Julio has not been killed, am glad they changed the regular plotline on this and I hope he makes it through to the end? Anyway I simply hate the Alicia character, am happy I tape this so I can fastforward during her scenes. Leo's dramatic turn for 5 seconds last night was a surprise to me, but I was wondering when the "red car" was going to be used in the plot was waiting for that. Except one thing I don't understand, this so far as been the good guys stay one step ahead, so why no mention that Eva is not to return to work at the eyepopping house?

Elvira,
Great recap, you recapper's are really good. I to love your Freak, Freak, Freak lines you put in. I thought what a fitting word for Ick-toria last nite. b/c she was just off her rocker with the crazy acting,especially with the wedding dress and that look in her eyes. I'm getting a little worried about Leo he's turning into a staker where EVA is concerned he spends a good portion of the show hidding in the bushes or behind tree LOL. I am I the only one who thinks Carlos looked HOT with his new facial hair? And I so so so so glad he told Alicia off last nite. she's stupido anyway. her but should have been at that jail when he first got arrested. Man I feel sorry for her when he gets out, b/c he's going to come after her to collect.Michele in PA

ITA on Carlos' look and reaction..
Did anyone notice how hairy the hands/arms of that priest Justa was talking to were?
I hope Eva won't spot the red car when they are heading to a quickie wedding, that would be a MAJOR letdown.

So much action and dialog to cover, Sweeny. It was a great recap.
Icky was also tormenting Eva during the interrogation of how she got home, trying very hard to get Eva to say outloud that it was Dan that rescued her. Her exit was terrific--handing her the cell phone and her comment. She did seem perfectly normal during this visit. The wedding dress scene was a little sad; Vicky admitting that because of Eva there wasn't going to be a boda.
Someone yesterday was hoping that Eva was really Justa and DonJ's child. For it to be true, we'd have to have a double baby-swap since we do know that there is a real Eva-mother figure looking for her girls out there.
With last night's episode, though, I wouldn't hold out too much hope, after Justa's reaction to Icky. Would that it were--Eva and Justa's temperments are more alike than Icky and Justa's.
There is still Ismael's secret about Eva having to do with some rich people, so there's still a possibility that Eva is DonJ's child with the lady on the phone Marcela was talking to sometime ago.
It speaks volumes about nurture vs. nature. Marcela molded her daughter in her exact image and likeness (figuratively speaking). So be it, it's a tn and we have a lot to put up with.
Speaking of Malicious Marcie and her checkbook. I liked that Claw told her she didn't want her cash to not have the baby. She preferred to see this baby as an investment in her future--a cut of the Arismendi empire (yes, do tread carefully on stairs while pregnant and avoid any drinks Marcie serves)--since Claw doesn't have any other visible means of support.
Dan had me worried when he dropped Eva off and left Leo lurking. I'm so glad it turned out to be Sunday and he came back for her. I wish she never had to go back to the mansion or the pension again--he did promise her a job taking care of Laurita (but what of Jacky?).
Eva will probably have to go back to work on Monday, if for no other reason than to see DonJ and find out about Max. I dare Marcela to move his remains.
Dan was so cute when he arrived and told Eva this was a kidnapping and later telling her it was a kidnapping for two, since the rest of the household was away.
The avances show lots of stuff happening and lots of gifts for Eva--a ring, a car, a secret wedding. Can't wait.

E-marie: "(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."
To follow up for your question: Marcela has been slowly poisoning Julio with help from Dr. Rivera who also seems to know about the other murders she's committed in the past. Marcy wants to get him out of the way so she can gain further control of his fortune and his company. That means getting Dan and/or his little daughter out of the way eventually also. Whenever Julio took the medicine he would have attacks and seizures. Whenever he's thrown out the medicine (pouring it into the plants, etc.) he felt better for a while. Now he's certain about what's been happening to him re: Marcy who has refused to accept signing the divorce papers.

Terrific recap.
Like everyone else, I thought Carlos looked smokin' hot (jail seems to agree with him, not that he should still be there) and LOVED the smackdown he gave Alicia. I wanted to smack her myself. Oh, wah, poor baby, you felt bad and were afraid to visit Carlos at the jail? How do you think he feels, being stuck there for weeks? I think it's ridiculous that he's there so long. Can't someone bail him out? His crime wasn't that huge.

Looks like Harry G. visitited the Telenovela-world forum for Eva briefly... hopefully they will stop by here too.
Thank you to Jar for the previous re-cap and another thank you to Elvira! Both of you were so good with the details which is so greatly appreciated!!
Wowsers. This capitulo was absolutely loaded with stuff.
I seem to remember Guy Ecker saying on Cristina that this TN would move much more quickly.
I am now (after all of these capitulos!!!) able to look beyond that ugly Marcela and focus on Eva and Dano.
Elvira...LOVED the "industrial strength padded butt"!!!

Great recap Elvira. All those creepy Arezmendi stalking people last night. Weirdos! Glad to see Justa rain some righteous fire down on Renata.
For those who were still holding out some hope that Eva was Justa's child, sorry folks. Justa and Vicky were feeling "the call of the blood" big time last night. Poor Justa.
In total agreement about Carlos' hot new prison look. It's also morphed him from a naive sap, into a hardened bad boy. In this form he has a chance with stupid Alicia, even though he now hates her. :) I also don't understand how someone with no priors would be thrown in jail for so long for swiping some community college records. It's not like he was stealing state secrets from the Pentagon!

Re Carlos's still being in jail, Julia asked "Can't someone bail him out? His crime wasn't that huge." That's true, but getting someone out on bail generally requires putting up some money, and as far as we've seen, neither Carlos nor Alicia nor any other likely person has money. Perhaps Alicia could ask Leo, if she can ever get to see him.
Vivi, my understanding is that Carlos is awaiting trial, and the backlog of cases in a city like Los Angeles can be depressingly long. So even though he hasn't committed a horrendous crime, he still may sit in jail for months before coming to trial. Unless, of course, he gets out on bail.

Vivi, I agree with what you've said about Eva's being Justa's daughter. The call of the blood may not mean much in the real world, but it's an almost infallible sign in telenovela-land, and Icky and Justa did experience what seemed to be the call of the blood in this episode. Sigh. :-(
I know someone would have to come up with some money to bail him out, but given the overcrowding in jails and his clean history, it would seem the bail would be set pretty low. Or maybe they'd put him on house arrest to save space and money on jailing him since he isn't dangerous.
Didn't Carlos live with his mother? I wonder what resources she has. From their house they didn't seem totally impoverished.

Thanks for the recap Elvira. A lot did happen last night.
I am saddened that it does look like poor Justa has a demon spawn (darn that call of the blood with Icky). That revelation is going to be terrible. I hope the writers can give Justa someone like Eva especially since Icky may not survive. While she hasn't the body count, that acid make-up thing was very bad and she's trying to kill Eva. Typically women who try to off heroines don't make it.

Thank you so much for the recap, Elvira. I, too, enjoy them more than the episode! I miss your visuals, they really make the recap come alive! And also thank you to all residents of ¨viewerville¨ who wrote great comments. I also find them more entertaining and comforting than the episodes. The episodes make me SOOO stressed out!
Could someone explain to me why Carlos, so angry at Alicia, didn´t admit that it was his idea all along to change or steal the records. It wasn´t HER idea, was it??? Nor did she ask him to do it. Didn´t he volunteer? Was it fair for him to be so angry and bitter towards him. If anything, she is like an innocent dupe. And who told her to cheat, but the way. Was it Tony or Carlos? Although after he offered to help her, she was happy. But yes, she deserved this and yes, Carlos looked great! (Hot?...as far as I am concerned, that only applies to FC!)
I am also watching Triunfo de amor, and last night was a scene when Victoria meets her daughter after losing her or something...although neither one knows who the other one really is, and the scene was exactly the same as Justa and Vicky´s encounter. The same magical connection that neither mother nor daughter understood. Oh well...nothing will compare to STuD!

Thank you Elvira for your recap in spite of your computer problems.
Thank you Jardinera for answering my question, I missed a few episodes, but I have been reading the recaps to get caught up.
One more question if anyone can answer it. I know Dan is some advertising executive, is his relationship with DJ that he was dating Victoria? Is he living with them? I did read a lot of the old recaps but I missed some fine points.

Emarie- Dan's family are business partners with Don Julio in the ad business. It appears that Marcela has killed Dan's parents and his wife, leaving Dan as the main shareholder of his family's stock in the company. It appears that Marcy's plan is to marry Vicky off to Dan, so that Vicky will be the heir to Dan's fortune and company shares. That would mean she would eventually have to kill Dan and his daughter Laurita. This lady plans long term. She is using her "daughter" as a simple tool to get what she wants- total control of the company. She is also poisoning her husband so that she can inherit the company.
Dan does not live in the same house. He has his own house close by in the same neighborhood.
