Llena de Amor #115 (Mex. 120) Tue 1/25/11 Oliver finally solves the liars-and-truth-tellers riddle.
Malicio’s in a big hurry to ditch Kristel at the altar and collect on Victoria’s ever-so-vague promise of…not much, really. What did she agree to? Anyway, I guess Fonskanka figures he’ll be able to die happy, if the idiot remembers there’s a bounty on his pumpkin head if he doesn’t get hitched to Kristel. The frootloop fresa is so charmed by her cheatin’ Cheetoh, she agrees to a wedding the next day.
Over at the pensión, Malicio’s intended booty prize and her low-flow-showerhead hair are sobbing and will someone please put on a different record? This one keeps skipping. Emanuel stands there and listens to his barely-disguised beloved tell him yet again that he’s a low-down bastard thieving murderer, as bad as his mother or even worse. He’s heard all that before, but it’s news to him that Marianela was poisoned by the chocolates he gave her. He denies having anything to do with that. He would never hurt his gordita! Never! “Your gordita hermosa is dead,” Victoria says. Emanuel reels, but seems to get that she’s speaking metaphorically, I think. “Admit that you’re guilty of trying to murder her!” “The only thing I’m guilty of is loving Marianela more than anything else!” MariVicky stares at him, with his tears and pain mirroring her own. Does she soften a bit? He leaves.
Fedra staggers out of Lowrenzo’s blechelor pad bedroom, giving a rave review. She tells him not to worry about being left out on the street. She’s got a new business venture, a luxury resort in Cancún, and she needs sucios, ermmm, socios (I think we can assume she’s already got all the sucios she needs). Fedra tells Low to get as much money out of Muñeca as he can before the divorce, to invest in her project. Low thinks Fedra should give him a piece of the action as a gift. She reminds him that this is an investment not just for himself, but also for his daughter. Not that she deserves it, says Low. Fedra sniffles that someday that pair of ingrates will pay, and Emanuel will be on his knees begging her forgiveness.
But let’s look at a cuter pair for a few minutes. The champagne Axel pours for a toast at their romantic dinner makes Delicia cough and choke, but no matter. He asks her again to go to the benefit party with him. That’s just for starters, though. Every day forever after, he wants to make her feel like the most special and important woman in the whole world. Delicia finally agrees. Much happiness.
Haven’t we seen this scene before? Manolo hauls falling-down-drunk Oliver into their bedroom, drops him on the bed, and falls on top of him. Oliver hollers for more booze, but Manolo tries to convince him to settle into bed. “If you were a woman, I wouldn’t put up a fight,” Oliver slurs. Tempting, but Manolo struggles to stay in character as Oliver laments that he spent so much time searching for his Gretel, and then she stabbed him in the back again. GretelMan struggles in silence, resisting the urge to put Oliver out of his misery. Don’t resist, GretelMan. Oliver cries that Gretel never loved him, never. Manolo gives him a hug, under the pretext of helping him take his jacket off. “But you care about me, right? You love me. I remember you said you did.” GretelMan agrees this is true. “And you’ll never hurt me. It’s weird, I get so jealous when I see you with someone else,” Oliver drunkenly babbles. He grabs Manolo and plants a big kiss right on the smacker. “You liked that, right?” Oliver says. He goes for seconds but Manolo pushes away. “I can’t continue this farce. You and I have to talk. I can’t keep deceiving you.” Gretel pulls off the mustache and wig, but Oliver has fallen asleep. Gretel kisses him and wonders if telling him the truth is a good idea (lemme help you out here, Gretel – YES!).
He-manuel is on the hunt, and he’s loaded for Spiderus. Ron-Weasley-torture-size Spiderus. “I KNOW you were the one who poisoned Marianela! Tell me the truth!” Eman yells, and Mild-Mannered Bernie tries to play the put-upon innocent. “You used me! You knew Mari trusted no one in the house except me, and you knew I gave her chocolates! You poisoned them! Tell me everything!” Uh, sounds like you’ve got it all, Eman. Bernie distracts Eman momentarily and runs away. Good luck getting away from a world-class athlete, stodgy Spidey.
MariVicky sobs in bed and whines about that liar Emanuel and Doris tries to calm her down. Netty comes in and is sad that she didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to that nice boy Emanuel. MariVicky is irate that Netty believes him. Netty says she’s found out that he didn’t hurt Marianela and he’s totally decent, and she believes in admitting when she’s made a mistake. MariVicky says if Marianela were here, she’d be furious at her auntie’s betrayal. Emanuel is a MURDERER!
Spidey runs down the hall and hides around a corner. Whew, safe. Emanuel casually strolls up, grabs him, and demands an explanation. Spidey employs Fedra’s tried-and-true Deny, Deny, Whine and Deny trick. While Eman’s warming up to beating a confession out of him, Fedra walks in and asks if he’s drunk. No, he only wishes he were, so he could escape this nightmare. He tells his mother to admit she ordered her mutt Bernie to do the dirty work and kill Marianela. Of course Fedra won’t admit this, only that she wanted Mari out of her way. Eman warns them that when he gets proof, he’s sending them to jail. {Emanuel. Take note. As has been discussed on this blog: You don’t tell your enemy, “Ha! I have a knife!” You stab them, and THEN you say, “Ha! I have a knife!”} Eman heads upstairs, where I hope he plans to sleep with one eye open and his finger on a trigger.
Next morning, wedding day? Not so much. Fedra puts the kibosh on Malicio’s and Kristel’s plan. Los Ruiz y de Teresa are super fancy big important uppity people; they can’t just get married like it’s nothing, without pomp and circumstance and announcing it to all the fancy folk. Mauron suggests they announce the wedding at the big benefit event.
Over at the agency, MariVicky wears terrible-looking bloomers with a tank top that just looks grungy, and Emanuel announces to the gathered staff that Marianela is now the majority owner of the business and Victoria is representing her shares. Subtext: You’d better suck up to this raging icy beyotch, even though we’d all like to chuck her out on her magic pull-out hair. Vicky reminds them all that they need to work super hard, because they’re way behind on preparations for the benefit. She does not mention that they’re behind because the management spend all their time fighting amongst themselves. Emanuel tells them all to rest up over the weekend so they can hit the ground running on Monday. Victoria says no way; they’re all working this weekend. Ilitia is mad. I’m not sure why she’s even there, but she’s mad. So is Eman, but he isn’t in charge anymore.
Oliver wakes up with GretelMan wrapped around him and holding his hand. GretelMan wakes up and immediately lets go. “Don’t let go of my hand! Can’t you see I’m suffering?” Oliver has definitely gotten over his squeamishness. GretelMan asks him if he remembers kissing him the night before. Oliver says he was drunk, but if that’s what it takes to get Gretel out of his head, then so be it; he’s ready for a repeat. Manolo jumps away and tells him to try to understand Gretel. Oliver is hurt that she’d do that to him, dance nearly nekkid for a bunch of posh old geezers just to mock him; it’s like she’s spitting in his face. “You’re an idiot. You couldn’t see an elephant if it were right in front of you,” Manolo points out. “What would you know about it? I wonder whose bed she slept in,” Oliver snerks. “Gretel never stopped loving you, not for a single instant,” Manolo says, and then pulls off the wig and mustache. “Well, guess whose bed I slept in, and who I slept with? The same man, Oliver Rosales, I want to love for the rest of my life.”
Emanuel tries to negotiate with Vicky about the work schedule. She says that even though he’s the absolute worst person in the world, she admits he’s indispensable in this business, so she’ll tolerate him. He says he’ll save her the trouble on the weekend; he won’t be here. Ilitia interrupts to ask Vicky where she got her makeover…because she looks terrible and Ilitia wants to be sure she never goes to that place. MariVicky ignores that and asks Eman why he can’t work on the weekend. “Well, some of us have lives, which you would know nothing about, and my lovely wife and I are going to the beach to enjoy a honeymoon.” He and Ilitia smooch to emphasize the point. Mari fumes.
MariVicky tells Emanuel the only excuse she’ll accept for his not working is that he’s dying, and unfortunately, he appears to be in excellent health. Eman says too bad; he promised his wife the vacation, and that’s his priority. Emanuel and Ilitia sashay off, and Marianela manages to shake with rage while simultaneously looking like a wax statue of herself.
Not quite the happy reunion Gretel was hoping for. Oliver is sobbing, but not out of joy. “How could you?! You’ve been here for weeks, sharing my room, and you never told me the truth?!” Gretel wants to explain. Oliver doesn’t want to hear it. “All the love I had for you, you killed with your lies and deceits. Get out!” Gretel finally insists on explaining: “I didn’t want to leave you! I’ve been locked in the cellar for TWO YEARS, with no window, nothing! It took me two years to get a chance to escape! I had to leave you, because Fedra said she’d kill you if I didn’t!”
Fedra sobs to her loyal lackey…boo hoo hoo, her son betrayed her and he has to pay, it’s all Marianela’s fault, she wants to see that girl dead and roasting in an incinerator, but first she wants her to suffer. Bernardo worries what will happen if Emiliano finds Marianela first. Fedra agrees that’s a possibility, thanks to that wretched Victoria de la Garza. She knows about Fedra’s past! She knows about La Mala Noche! She’s got to be eliminated. Bernardo calmly pours Fedra a drink and says it’s a good thing she’s got her lover on the job, then. Better hope he gets it done right and doesn’t hurt Fedra more than he helps her. “You’re such a pessimist. He and I see the glass half full, and you see it half empty,” she snarls, swiftly making the glass totally empty. Fedra’s optimistic view is that if la albóndiga and el espagueti (the meatball and the spaghetti, i.e. Marianela and Victoria) turn out to be the same person and Lowrenzo kills her, it’s a two for one! The sale of the week! The war is on, to the death. Fedra murderously eyes another glass of hooch.
Axel is helping out at the agency. He brings the benefit invitations to Muñeca and gets to take one. Hmm, wonder who he’ll give it to. Lowrenzo walks in. “What part of ‘you’re out of this business and out of my life’ didn’t you understand?” He tries to smooth-talk her, but she just points out she could charge him with fraud. Instead, she’s just going to have him sign the divorce papers, and then he’s out of her life the same way she found him, without a centavo. She’s reached her limit. He says he is not agreeing to the divorce. She whips out her checkbook. “How much for you to disappear?”
Oliver is still wrapping his mind around the levels and layers of Gretel’s lies. They’re both crying, remembering the cruel things she said to him. Gretel says Bernardo was spying to make sure she did it. If she hadn’t, they would have killed him for sure, and she never could have lived with the guilt. “But you did kill me! That day, you wounded me so deeply I will never recover!” Gretel says she did it because she loves him, but if he wants her out of his life, she’ll go. She walks to the door. “No! Don’t leave me again!” Oliver grabs her and we finally have our happy reconciliation, with passionate smooching and everything.
Lowrenzo drives a hard bargain. Muñeca is so eager to be rid of him that she agrees to give him her remaining shares in the agency. But she’s keeping the kids. He argues that Cristián is his child, not hers. “Well, try to take him. Just try. But I’ll leave you in the street if you do. Keep in mind we’re married por bienes separados. I don’t have to give you anything.” Lowrenzo is in a quandary, now. The kid or the money? “Well, for the moment anyway, I’ll leave you your office, and your three pens and four pencils. Have a nice day!”
Let’s take a trip to the beach. Honeymoon time. Our not-so-newlyweds are dressed for the tropics and admiring the ocean view. Emanuel wants to go run on the beach. Ilitia thinks they have better things to do. “Remember our beach vacation, before?” Of course Emanuel remembers. He imitates Ilitia: “Baby, it’s too hot. The mosquitoes are biting me, Baby. Baby, the bed is too hard; how am I supposed to sleep here, Baby? It’s horrible, Baby, Baby, Baby.” Ilitia protests that she doesn’t talk like that. Besides, they’re in a five-star hotel this time. It will be way better. Straight off, it doesn’t look like it will be much better; Emanuel isn’t listening to her, and she starts whining that his mind is elsewhere, Baby; he’s probably thinking of the agency and that wretched Spanish girl, Baby. Emanuel distractedly says he wants to go down to the beach.
The agency crew sets up for the party while MariVicky rants and whines and does nothing helpful. Doris deduces that she’s annoyed that Emanuel is off on a romantic vacation with his wife. “I don’t care what that jerk does with his life,” Mari protests. Uh-huh, sure, Doris rolls her eyes. Meanwhile, Lowrenzo climbs up into the catwalk. Doris and Mari bicker about Mari’s feelings while Low cuts something. Doris shrieks, but Mari does not see the light, either literally or figuratively, and get clonked on the head.
At that moment, Emanuel and Ilitia are smooching on some bridge, but Eman’s psychic connection tells him something is wrong. He tries to explain, but Ilitia just thinks he’s nuts. He wants to call the agency, but Ilitia stops him. She thinks it’s time to get busy. She doesn’t give him Kristel’s “FOCUS!” speech, but he tries to get into the swing of things anyway.
Everyone in the publicity agency is freaking out, but it seems they might actually be calling for help. Someone even says, “Don’t move her! Don’t move her!” Good grief, have telenovela writers finally learned something about first aid? Lowrenzo sneaks out the door…and runs into Emiliano on the sidewalk. He claims he’s just upset about his issues with Muñeca. Emiliano doesn’t want to get involved. The ambulance pulls in as André carries MariVicky outside. So much for not moving her. They explain what happened and Emiliano is furious about the sloppy safety violations.
Emanuel and Ilitia make out on the pier thing. Eman’s phone rings but Ilitia takes it away and throws it in the water, making a HUGE splash which washes up over the pier from both sides. He freaks out.
André leaves Emanuel a message about Victoria’s accident. Emiliano is heading out to the hospital. Netty appears in the lobby and tells Emil they have to talk. He tells her about Victoria’s injury. She tells him anything that happens to Vicky is his fault. His and his nefarious family’s!
Emanuel and Ilitia make out in the water. He gets bitten by a cangrejo (crab). But he is tough, so ni modo. Ilitia, however, is a bit uncomfortable with the idea of getting it on surrounded by cangrejos and tiburones (sharks). She’d rather head back to the hotel, all civilized with nice sheets and everything. She tells him she never wants to be with anyone but him, and nothing will separate them, ever.
Emiliano declines to accept responsibility for what happened to Vicky. Netty yells at him all irrationally. His witch wife won’t rest until Marianela is dead, so she must be behind everything that goes wrong.
Ilitia and Eman haven’t made it back to their room; they’re on the beach, but Ilitia seems to have been bitten by something. Eman tries to kiss it all better. He gets a phone call (on what phone, I’m not sure), and when he hears what happened, he says he’s on his way back to the city.
Avances: Emanuel hovers over MariVicky’s hospital bed, and she deliriously tells him she loves him.

Julia – I didn’t account for the president’s speech making the show come on later, so I had nothing but news on my tape! Boy, was I happy to see you’d posted this so early, and I was extra happy when I saw that you were really rocking and rolling tonight. This is just terrific, breezy and hilarious. My favorite line: You don’t tell your enemy, “Ha! I have a knife!” You stab them, and THEN you say, “Ha! I have a knife!”
But I missed the Oliver/Gretel reunion scene! Drat. .
But I missed the Oliver/Gretel reunion scene! Drat. .
Julia- Your recap was a funny, snarky delight from beginning to end. Many thanks!
One of my two favorite scenes from this episode was Eman's dead-on mimic of Ilitia. That was hilarious. They make great friends.
The other was Oliver and Gretel. That scene was heart breaking, emotional, and rang true. Both actors are great criers, especially Oliver. I was tearing up while watching him.
I am hoping the bump on the head will reset VicMar to a less bitchy mode. Ya! Basta!

Good grief! "pumpkin head", "frootloop fresa", "cheatin' cheetoh" and "low-flow showerhead hair"...yikes! And that was just in the first paragraph. You were indeed on fire last night Julia. Thanks.
It was quite an episode. I was really blown away by the actor playing Oliver last night. Absolute perfection. New respect for our boy. He's really nailing the role.
Have to admit it was a relief to see Vicky get bonked on the head. At least that way she would shut up for a while. Do hope we're about to enter a new phase where she DOES see the light, figuratively (again, cute aside Julia). Gracias.

Good morning all. Here is my favorite line of the recap: "The frootloop fresa is so charmed by her cheatin’ Cheetoh, she agrees to a wedding the next day." Of all the scathingly brilliant monikers we have devised for Malicio I think Cheatin' Cheetoh might be my favorite. Good job on that one.
I thought this was a very satisfying episode. Gretel finally outs herself to Oliver and they make up, hooray!!! Delicia agrees to go to the event and she will be adorable, hooray!!! MariVicky gets conked on the head, hooray!!!
Good grief MV's outfit was horrible. What did she have on her feet? Were they actually shoes? I loved when Ilitia mocked MV's "look". Maybe there are no full-length mirrors at Netty's place.
Great episode and terrific recap. Thanks JULIA!! (I am still laughing over "low flow shower head hair".)
My word verification is "ealiest"; must be a combo word for Malicio, easiest combined with eeliest, with my apologies to all eels.
Maggie, here is a link to this episode on noseq.com. It should have the Oliver/Gretel reunion scene:

"cheatin’ Cheetoh" ... excellent... one of those wish I'd said thats. What a fine funny recap from start to finish, Julia.
I was so relieved that Gretelman finally found the words to get through to Oliver. I wonder if we've seen the last of Manolo, though. I really like the little guy.
Maybe my mind was in the wrong place, but when the scene with Manny sucking the scorpion venom from Ilitia's leg, I definitely misinterpreted what was going on and thought that the censors had fallen asleep at the wheel.Somehow I missed the part where she got stung.
Ilitia continues to charm me, this time when she tossed the phone and said, "Byeee telefono." She and Kristel are so cute whenever they mix the Spanish and English and get those devilish smiles.
Yesterday I gave Jeanne an update on the CC stuff and she asked me to say hi to everyone. She's been swamped with her duties and responsibilities but hasn't forgotten us.

Julia - you are too funny. I think you were in my head last night, some of your comments were exactly what I was thinking, especially the description of M/V's horrendous outfit.
Vivi - I too loved Eman's imitiation of Ilitia, especially his emphasis on "baby".They are so cute together, but like I noted before, kind of like siblings. When they start all the smooching, just seems wrong.
Judy - Wasn't Oliver(Riccardo) wonderful? He just continues to impress me when his range of reactions and emotions - stellar in both drama and comedy. Give this man a lead role!!! And I gave a huge cheer when he ran after Gretel - had me slightly worried there. I also have echo your comment on M/V - it was my first thought when she got clobbered - Yeah, she'll be shutting up for at least a few episodes.
Maybe the bonk on the head will shift her brain cells and she'll start listening to people. I also wonder, will she wake up and not remember her need for vengeance or even that she's Mari. maybe she'll think she's really Vicki....the bonk on the head usually is a ploy to have the character think differently.

@Carlos...I figured you'd be harking back to STuD where Jose Miguel was sucking the snake venom out of whazzername's leg. I figured that was a little humoristic salute to the big DRAMA.
@Daisynjay...I'd love to see the Oliver actor get a lead role also. But he'd really have to buff up that body. I appreciate his ordinary guy next door cuerpo but they only give the galan parts to hunks (well, Dinero being an exception).

Judy, funny that you said that. I meant to ask if that was an homage to STuD but then I got distracted and forgot to add it. How were your captions last night? Except for about one minute near the middle right before commercial, mine were nearly perfect.
By the way, I've been concentrating intensely on a Spanish grammar review and found these exercises which are helpful as well as fun to do.

Julia, thank you for the great, witty recap.
How many times has Mari been in the hospital? This latest must make at least three.
I do like Oliver. And with Gretel he is great. It is fun to see him in this part.
Alex and Delicia are delightful. He has turned into the Silver Tongued Devil around her, she must be his muse.
I could not believe that Muenca was willing to give Lowlife a dime much less the remaining shares of the Company. He isn't going to need anything after they lock him up.

@Carlos...wasn't paying much attention to the captions last night. Was too busy being nervous about the upcoming game with Purdue later that evening. But Lordy, we laid an a$$ewhuppin' down on those poor boys. One of those nights when both our offense and defense were working and everybody was hitting. I'm not expecting it to always been that way, we've had so many squeakers, but last night was awesome. May I assume your Lady Bears are still on top?
I DO appreciate all the work you're doing on behalf of legitimate , competent closed captions. And totally impressed that you're also doing grammatical exercises. I worked through a number of self-teaching books on grammar the first two years (and honestly, the "por" vs "para" still seems to be something you just have to get by immersion in the language...the rules don't clarify much) but now....I just can't seem to make myself do it. As long as I can understand what folks are saying to me...and communicate in pidgen Spanish if it's an emergency...well, for now I'm content to coast. When I looked at the list of all those exercises you're doing, I went immediately to HEADACHE!!!

Julia - outstanding. So many of your wonderful lines have already been mentioned so I will simply add my enthusiastic endorsment especially for "frootloop fresa" and agree with Sylvia that "charmed by her cheatin' Cheetoh" was perfect. Also liked: "He-manuel is on the hunt, and he’s loaded for Spiderus. Ron-Weasley-torture-size Spiderus." Excellent!
As Vivi, Judy and daisy noted, Oliver was amazing. I teared up right along with him. I really thought he might let Gretel leave after unveiling herself yet again. Thankfully, that didn't happen. Add my appreciative kudos to Riccardo for his marvelous acting.
I agree Judy that he doesn't quite fit the lead galan mold. However, I think it's just as well. Being second banana allows him to show his comedic talents as well as serious side.
Carlos, I didn't realize Ilitia had gotten stung either so was perplexed by Manny's "ardor".
Julia, sublime. Yet again.

The captions were SUPERB last night. A couple tiny glitches where Kristel or Ilitia was mixing Spanish, English, and Fresa, but that's understandable.
Maggie, I stole the "I have a knife!" bit from a commenter on one of the other shows. I can't remember now who said it, but I think it was on STuD and it was so funny I had to plagiarize.
I've been enamored of Ricardo Margaleff since his Guapos days, and every episode he makes me love him more. He'd be completely stealing this show if the rest of the cast weren't also giving such top-notch performances. I do think he could play a lead role, easily. The galáns of ENDA (Sebastián Zurita) and Camaleones (Alfonso Herrera), for example, have been fit but definitely not the big gym-rat muscley type.
The show didn't start until 8:45 here, which screwed up my DVR (do they really have no idea how long the president's speech is going to last?) I had set it to record the whole evening, so the shows are all there, but it gets confused when things don't match the labels on the time slots and such and toward the end it started getting anxious and wouldn't let me pause or rewind. Hence the quick wrapup of the last few scenes.
Looks like the honeymoon is over already...
I think Gretel will still have to be Manolo in public, to keep Fedra and Spidey from finding her. But at least now she can be herself with Oliver.
Maggie, I stole the "I have a knife!" bit from a commenter on one of the other shows. I can't remember now who said it, but I think it was on STuD and it was so funny I had to plagiarize.
I've been enamored of Ricardo Margaleff since his Guapos days, and every episode he makes me love him more. He'd be completely stealing this show if the rest of the cast weren't also giving such top-notch performances. I do think he could play a lead role, easily. The galáns of ENDA (Sebastián Zurita) and Camaleones (Alfonso Herrera), for example, have been fit but definitely not the big gym-rat muscley type.

I'm hoping Gretel does go public. at this point, all the important people to her know she's alive. With Eman, Emi,Axel, Oliver and Brandon all in on what happened, Fedra couldn't dare lift a finger against her. And if anything, she could finally pin something on her dear mama. I would love to see what Fedra could do with a jumpsuit...maybe a nice deep V or off the shoulder affect.
Loved the recap and snark Julia. The show came on at its regular time here so I didn't miss anything. I'm amazed that the good guys always tell the baddies their plans. How about not telling them and surprising them LOL.
That was some bump on the head on MariVictoria wasn't it. Now Netty is blaming Emil for it. At least in the previews, Mari does admit she loves Eman in her delirium which should finally spark a lightbulb in his brain that maybe Vicky is actually Mari.
Glad that Gretel finally told Oliver everything. At least we have that reconciliation and of course the brief Axel and Delicia scene was a breath of fresh air with all the darkness.

Sylvia, thank you for the link! I got to see the Oliver/Gretel scene, which was wonderful. And I also got to see the rest of the show, which I must say paled next to Julia’s zippy and funny retelling.
Maggie you are very welcome. I couldn't bear the thought of you not seeing their reunion after all the suffering we have gone through on their behalf.
I was surprised Muñeca offered Lorenzo money so quickly. I guess she's just eager to be rid of him and knows that's what he likes. I don't think she really needs to worry about losing Cristian, either...she's got plenty of dirt on Lowrenzo, and Garduño likes her much more than he likes Low and would probably help her out.
Wow - this is getting so exciting! Can't believe that we're finally getting to.....Ooops! Have to wait until tonight's recaps are posted!
LOL!
