Llena de Amor #100 (Mex. 105) Tue 1/4/11 Shut up, Victorianela.
Repeating from yesterday, Emanuel pins Fedra against the wall and demands information. If he looked at me like that, and at that range, I’d confess everything I’d ever done as well as stuff I only thought about doing, but Fedra is more practiced in persuasion and evasion. She waffles and scampers. Eman mutters to himself that she’s hiding something and he will get to the bottom of it.
Delicia sits in the courtyard at Netty’s pension, and finally Netty arrives at home. Unfortunately for Delicia, Axel is right behind her. Dee says she needs to see Ma…um, Victoria. Netty sends her upstairs to wait in Vicky’s room. Axel tries to follow, but Netty can’t miss the mental daggers Delicia is throwing his way and she forbids him to go upstairs. When Netty goes off to change her clothes before her chat with Axel, he calls someone and says everything is ready and they’ll see each other at the arranged location.
Emanuel calls Almudena, Carlota’s maid, and tries to find out whether Marianela received her inheritance, or if maybe any lawyers visited around the time of Carlota’s death. Almudena stammers and stalls and finally admits that Marianela has forbidden her to speak to him. She claims she doesn’t know, anyway. Emanuel hangs up, frustrated, and immediately Fidel calls from outside the police station to report that the police have gone to rescue Cristián and Mauricio left awhile ago.
Fidel watches as Lowrenzo and Muñeca leave the station. Low cranks his Mr. Nice Guy act up to eleven, Bambi-eying that it’s such a relief to have all this out in the open and he just can’t wait until they have their son back all safe and sound and adopt him and raise him together. “OUR son?!” retorts Muñeca. She’s furious that he has deceived her once again. He’s a scuzzbucket and ruins everything he touches; Begoña even died because she got involved with him. Now he thinks she’ll forgive him and happily raise another amante’s child with him? It’s just like when Ilitia was born, all over again. No way. Lowrenzo reminds her that she’s happy to have Ilitia, but Muñeca isn’t thinking that the love and happiness extend to Lowrenzo anymore. It doesn’t help at all when he implies that his free-range spawn were Muñeca’s fault because she could never get pregnant. Muñeca leaves arm-in-arm with her soon-to-be-tradeup (I hope), Fidel.
Ilitia tells her therapist that she can’t escape the horror of the rape. She sees his face following her everywhere. The shrink wonders whether she knows him. Most rapists are family members or acquaintances of their victims. Ilitia insists it was a complete stranger. “Why did this happen to me? Why?”
The police storm an empty warehouse and find our familiar baddies Baldy and Trashy playing cards. B and T don’t put up a fight so Oliver is easily able to run into a little room (constructed obviously of scenery walls, which are built nothing like real walls in real buildings) and find Cristián sitting on a mattress, unconcerned. Oliver grabs the little boy and runs out under heavy police guard.
Dandy sits in Agent Ogre’s living room, telling someone via phone that the money’s all there, to the last centavo. A person-shaped shadow crosses the wall behind him, but he doesn’t seem to notice. He does notice that the front door opens and no one enters, so he goes over to investigate. Our favorite shadowy avenger grabs him and growls that he took something that doesn’t belong to him. Dandy warns him to stay out of it or else, so El Lirio easily knocks him out and ties him up. Victorianela walks in the door calling out for Mauricio (why doesn’t anyone ever knock and wait for someone to answer at other people’s houses?) and El Lirio hides behind a wall and then grabs her. Sexily. “Why do I always run into you just when I’ve hit someone, my pretty?” he asks.
Malicio and Lowrenzo sit in a bar and toast to the success of their brilliant plan. The mob lawyer joins them and reports that Cristián has been rescued. However, Baldomero and Basurto had to be sacrificed to the operation, so now Garduño says that Malicio owes him triple. Mau-ron is stricken and Lowrenzo gloats. Not for long, though, because Garduño has also sent the message that since he’s taking the rap for Begoña’s death, Lowrenzo is his lifelong slave. Mob lawyer warns them both to behave. One false move and either or both of them could appear hecho cachitos y empacados en un congelador de carne.
Victorianela watches as El Lirio collects the briefcase and asks him if he’s stealing it. No, taking it back from the people who stole it and giving the cash to needy children, he says. Marioria warns him that Fonskanka is very dangerous. El Lirio slinks up behind her and mask-nuzzles her neck and asks since when is she worried about him. Since she discovered how charitable and good he is, she says. She asks whether he’s going to tie her up again. Only if she tries to stop him from taking the money, he says. “No, tie me up!” she insists, holding out her hands. Well, this is getting a little kinky. El Lirio seems to think so too, not that he’s complaining. “You liked it so much, you want to repeat the experience?” “No, when the police arrive and find out you and I were both here, I don’t want them to think I’m your accomplice. Tie me up!” He starts to wrap the cord around her wrists, then kisses her hands and says no, this time she’s part of the loot. He’s taking her with him.
After a commercial break during which we reinforce our beanies to help us believe these two can be so close for so long and not recognize each other, Victorianela asks Emanuelirio if he’ll take her by force if she resists. He says he’ll do anything to achieve what he wants. Me, too, she says. She tells him they can help each other. There are other ratbastard scumbags to be taken down, namely that witch Fedra Curiel and her conniving son Emanuel. El Lirio blinks and says he’s always thought Emanuel was good and honest. Not so, says Vicky. He just wants money. He’ll play the saint, then stab you in the back at the first opportunity. El Lirio sadly says they’d better leave. He gallantly waves Vickynela out and drops his gun on the sofa next to the unconscious Dandy as he exits.
Outside, El Lirio tries to hurry and Victorianela whines that she can’t run in her high-heeled shoes. They come to Lirio’s motorcycle, which just reminds MariVicky of someone else who owns a moto, or maybe two or three. So then El Lirio is treated to a long rant about the frivolous playboy who wastes his money on expensive selfish whims rather than helping the poor the way her noble hero El Lirio does. Emanuelirio shoves a helmet on her head to shut her up and they climb on and ride away.
Oliver and Tejeda return Cristián to Muñeca. Muñeca, Cristían, and Manzanita all hug. Fidel and Flora beam. “Me quieren salir las de San Pedro,” says Oliver, tearing up. “Me, too,” says Tejeda. But he wonders where Brandon is. Oliver vaguely says he’s wrapping things up with the operation. Lowrenzo swoops in, all emotional over MI HIJO, and Muñeca remembers when she tried to introduce him to Cristián, before he knew this was his son, and he yelled and wanted nothing to do with the child. He picks up Cristián, but the astute little boy just reaches for Muñeca. “See, he doesn’t want you. He’s afraid of you,” Muñeca says.
Dandy wakes up and Malicio finds him tied up. “Where’s the money?!” he yells, always concerned about the health and welfare of others. Dandy points out the silver lirio on the table. Super Mauron throws a giant tantrum, then swigs a lot of booze and does some deep breathing exercises to calm down.
El Lirio drops Vicky off at the agency and advises her to give Emanuel a chance to explain things; maybe he’s innocent. “He’s not innocent; he’s the worst person on the planet. He’s selfish, superficial, has no work ethic, and treats his employees terribly.” El Lirio revs his motor in wordless protest. “Think about what I’ve said. We need to teach Emanuel Ruiz y de Teresa a lesson,” MariVicky says.
Agent Orange has summoned Fedra to his lair to ask for help. He tries to soften her up with drinks and his best beloved-son-in-law act. “You may be able to fool my daughter, but not me,” Fedra says. Get to the point. Okay. He tells her he needed the money that was stolen at the wedding to repay a debt, but she can save his orange hide. If she doesn’t, they will kill him! “Anyone who kills you would be doing me a favor,” Fedra croaks. “In fact, if you’ll just give me the guy’s phone number, I’ll call and tell him that. You think I’d give you money? As if!” She swaggers out, muttering, “What an idiot!” “I guess we’ll do this the hard way, then, but you ARE going to loan me that money, damn you,” Malicio mutters.
Axel has invited Netty to dine at a very nice restaurant, for which he is drastically underdressed. Needless to say, his hair is dressed to go to a hole-in-the-wall barbecue while it’s hit by a tornado. They sit down and Axel orders champagne. Netty protests that it’s too expensive. “Don’t worry; I’m not paying,” Axel says. “What?! You mean I’m paying? I didn’t even bring my wallet!” Netty panics. “No, I’m paying,” purrs Emiliano, melting ice for blocks around. He takes a seat and smiles, and Netty frantically bats her eyelashes.
Over at the agency soundstage, a new advertisement for Bleu Jeans is being filmed as Mari supervises. Needless to say, it features André and Jackie and is terrible. Emanuel comes in to watch and cringes. Everyone else seems to think it’s great, though. André congratulates MariVicky on pulling it together in record time. I think someone should be suggesting that they put MORE time into these things. MariVicky thanks everyone and dismisses them, but Emanuel stops them and says this is no good; it is not what the client asked for.
Oh, gag, we’re at La Mala Noche. La Reina finishes her “sexy” “act” and Spiderus brings her a plastic-wrapped rose and raves, calling her “Fedra” right there on the stage. “Estabas apoteósica,” he exclaims. “Apoteoica, tu abuela!” she retorts, insulted. He clarifies that it was a compliment and tells her there’s a man waiting for her in her dressing room. Fedra is thrilled by that and shoves the rose back at him and lurches unsexily off the stage to great applause. Spider angrily shreds the rose.
Fedra swans dramatically into her dressing room, only to find that her guest is Malicio. “Welcome, mi reina,” he says.
Emanuel yells at Victorianela for screwing up the jeans ad. She yells back that it’s just like him to blame her, after he blithely took the afternoon off to frolic with his wife. “Well, I don’t think I’m the only one who vanished! Where were you and who were you with?” he retorts. She deflects. “Can’t I leave the agency for one moment without you screwing everything up? You’re incompetent!” Emanuel says. “You’re the incompetent one!” MariVicky yells back. “Careful what you say! I am your boss!” “Only because your daddy’s the owner! You’re completely unqualified!” “Well, if you’re better, prove it by refilming this commercial, and get it right this time! If it isn’t what the client wants, we’ll reject it!” MariVicky yells at everyone to get ready for a redo, and Emanuel rolls his eyes.
Malicio tells Fedra he’s come for his check, but don’t worry, he’ll repay in thirty years or so. “No tenses tanta tu cuerda, idiota, que se te puede reventar en la jeta,” she warns. He says if she doesn’t pay, tomorrow all the periodicals will print the whole story of the real Slim Shady, I mean the real Fedra Curiel. Fedra snags his weapon (I can’t tell what it is) and tells him she won’t rest until he’s dead and buried. He threatens that if she tries anything, her loan to him will become a gift.
Netty is mad that Axel tricked her into joining Emiliano for dinner. Emiliano takes all the blame, but Netty is not communicating directly with him. “Axel, tell this man that I will repay every centavo!” Netty says, getting up to leave. Axel begs her to stay. “Fine, Axel, I will have dinner with you…but tell this man to leave! Tell your papá that to me, he is dead and buried para siempre!” Netty drama queens. “Oh, but first, ask him to leave us money to pay the bill,” she adds in a whisper. Emiliano amusedly raises his eyebrows seductively at her.
Fedra hands over a check and tells Malicio not to get used to this. The next time he hears her voice, it will probably be saying goodbye at the gates of hell. Mau smarms that maybe it won’t be a goodbye, but a little trip they take together. {Now there would be a good comedy. Mauricio and Fedra, stuck together on a long road trip through hell.} He’s edging into rapey snake mode, not that he’s ever far from it, and Fedra senses this and pushes him away and calls him a flee-ridden dog. That just excites him. Fedra is resistant and feisty, which excites Agent O even more, but he decides to pass for now.
Netty and Emiliano fight via Axel… “Axel, tell your father I can’t stand traitors!” “Axel, tell Netty I explained why I had to leave her!” “Axel, tell him he lacked the balls to stand up for himself!” …until Axel gets fed up and yells that they’re acting like children and leaves. Netty wants to leave, too, but Emiliano stops her. She tells him he’s just as egocentric and horrible as Emanuel. He wants to explain.
Emanuel and VickyNelly fight over the choreography and camera angles of the wretched jeans advert. Emanuel tells her to respect the ways of the agency, or she’s fired.
Brandon walks in to the pensión (which reminds me…has Delicia been sitting there for hours waiting for Marianela?) and is accosted by an amorous Consuelo. He gently pushes her away and says he’s not into her and she deserves someone who is. She doesn’t care, and resumes the assault. Ilitia walks in, gasps at high volume, then apologizes and encourages them to keep it up; they were doing great. Brandon declines and looks pretty happy to see her, but Ilitia says she’s there to visit Victoria. Javier runs in and asks Brandon to help him with his homework. “Who’s this little dwarf?” asks Ilitia. Consuelo introduces him as her son. Ilitia is all sickly sweet to Javier and then turns to Brandon and hisses, “You’re married, you jerk?!”
Netty signs an autograph for an adoring fan while Emiliano looks on proudly. He tells Netty he collects every magazine she appears in, and watches every episode of her telenovela. Netty is flattered, but tells him although she’s grateful he saved her home, that’s as far as it goes. “Your eyes say the opposite. You can send me to the devil a million times, but I’ll return to you a million times. I love you and won’t accept another rejection,” he smooth-talks. They kiss, and some rude paparazzo takes a picture.
“You lying jerk! You have some woman at home, washing the skivvies you take off for other women?!” Ilitia yells at Brandon, while Consuelo covers Javier’s ears. “No, no, let me explain, hysteriquita,” Brandon tries, but the hysteriquita rants on that he’s a worthless loser who will never have the class of her dear daddy. Finally Brandon manages to interrupt her. “Your dad? Classy?! I guess you haven’t heard the latest! Better go have a chat with Muñeca!” “Huh?” “Oh, go talk to your father. Ask him to introduce you to your half-brother!” “How dare you?!” “Also, Consuelo is not my wife, and Javier is not my kid! Can’t I have friends?” “Have all the friends you want! Have a whole harem full of lady friends, I don’t care!”
Muñeca walks into the pensión with Cristián, much to Ilitia’s surprise. She’s annoyed that her mother is visiting Brandon, but Muñeca says she needs to talk with everyone who lives in the pensión. Ilitia is still perturbed that she’d associate with them, especially after this naco’s latest lie, that Daddy has another child from an affair. So Muñeca informs her that it’s true; this little angel is the son of Lowrenzo and Begoña. Ilitia’s self-absorbed little world crumbles yet again.
MariVicky follows Emanuel into his office, griping about the money he’s wasting on all the retakes. He says he’ll just take it out of her salary, because this mess is her fault. She bickers that it’s his fault, because he ditched the production to flit off with his wife. He retorts that the real problem is that Vicky is more concerned with collecting men than with doing her job. André, Brandon, him…how many more men does she need? “Just one who isn’t a coward like you!” Things are getting hot and heavy now. “You really hate me, don’t you?” he asks. “You have no idea how much.” “Then why do your lips tremble when I’m near?” “Don’t you dare kiss me again.” “I’m not going to kiss you, because right now you want it much more than I do.” Boy, does she ever, and like she said earlier, she gets what she wants.
Mañana: Netty hears Delicia calling Victoria “Marianela.” Kristel hears Flora talking about Ilitia’s illicit crush on Brandon. Emanuel reminds Vicky he’s married.
Acechar – to stalk
hecho cachitos y empacados en un congelador de carne – made into ham rolls and stuffed in a meat freezer
Me quieren salir las de San Pedro – I’m getting teary. “Las Lágrimas de San Pedro” is a famous painting by El Greco, por ejemplo. Lágrimas de San Pedro is also an herb used medicinally in México, apparently, which seems irrelevant here but I find it interesting.
Apoteósica – jubilant, on fire, triumphant
Apoteoica – I can’t figure out what Fedra thought Bernardo said or meant. Anyone?
Llanero - cowboy
No tenses tanta tu cuerda, idiota, que se te puede reventar en la jeta - don't tighten your rope so much, idiot, your face could burst
Alcahuete – tattle-tale, gossip

"melting ice for blocks around." Oh, Julia, thanks for that great reminder on this chilly morning.To quote the old commercial "when he talks, I listen". Netty doesn't grab him, I will....
The women is this TN are getting shriller by the moment. M/V telling El Lirio all about Fedra and Eman was just weird. She's really getting on my last nerve right now the way she keeps railing. And, uh, dear, he was also right...that commercial was THE WORST! I almost choked on my evening coffee as that kicked off.
Even Ilitia is showing her jealous streak, but with the wrong guy. (But that scene did reinforce how much better she goes with Brandon than Consuelo.)
Maybe it's the pain of wearing all those uncomfortable spikey shoes. Look what it did to Fedra!
Speaking of whom...I loved those scenes with her and Moron. Talk about two bad apples seeing who spoils who first. Methinks she met her nemesis.
Thanks again Julia...loved this recap!!!

Signature Julia. Witty, engaging and insightful.
"Waffles and scampers", "bambi-eying", "soon to be tradeup" (hear, hear) and my favorite: "free range spawn" were excellent.
Daisy, I agree that Consuelo is wrong for Brandon - on so many levels. She's just lonely. I hope there is a happy ending for her, perhaps Netty's lawyer (whose name escapes me) will fit the bill once Netty and Emiliano finally get together.
Maybe it's those luminous eyes, but in spite of her "mean girl" personna, Ilitia certainly has had her share of heartaches. I do think though that she will love Cristián in no time.
Mauricio is indeed evil incarnate to make Fedra squirm. He is totally revolting and I'm hoping he will be caught before he hurts anyone else (yes, even Fedra).
I think we might forgive Axel for his bad behavior before we forgive him for his hair which "is dressed to go to a hole-in-the-wall barbecue while it’s hit by a tornado". :)

Perfect title!!! And my sentiments exactly. I laughed when el lirio plopped the helmet on Vicky's head to SHUT HER UP. She's starting to challenge Licenciada Paula from Juan Querendon for being the shrill champion, aka the harpy on jet fuel.
My favorite line was "free range spawn", brilliant! "Emanuelirio", well it's settled then, not that there was any doubt.
I was kind of hoping that Agent Ogre (LOL) would get rapey snakier with Fedra because surely she would have booted him in the nads, but alas he stopped just inches shy of the boot. Damn!!
Diana, I agre that Consuelo needs a good man in her life, but I don't think I like the lawyer for her. He's too much of a mooch. How about El Comisario? He seems like a nice man.
Julia, thanks for the superb recap. Diana summed it up perfectly, witty, engaging and insightful. Your vocab words absolutely rocked on this one.

Hi Julia, Daisynjay and Diana. Was up early but have been savouring the Dispatch write-up of the Buckeyes' Sugar Bowl victory (our BBall team beat Iowa as well) Other than walking the floor with grandbabies, don't think I've been up past midnight since our Tostito Bowl Victory several years ago. Whew!
SHUT UP VICTORIANELA. Well-said. She was annoying and boring last night. Like the jeans commercial. Your recap was great though. "Me toos" on "melting ice for blocks around" and "soon-to-be tradeup".
Also enjoyed "Ilitia's self-absorbed little world crumbles yet again". You packed a lot of plot and character information into that one little sentence.
Most of all, I like it when Engineer Julia comes to the fore and notices the unrealistic structures. That scene was also funny because little Christian appeared quite unfazed by scary SWAT team police busting in on his playtime like that. He's doing a better job of being ornery when he's supposed to though. Very effectively gave Lorenzo the cold shoulder last night.
Great recap, amiga, and we're glad you're back. Hope vacation and time at home was good.

Ah and good morning Sylvia. Have to say I loved the scenes with Mauricio and Fedra last night. She's at her best when she's telling someone to go off himself. Like it that she doesn't back down immediately and I'm sure she'll get her own back before long. Definitely my favorite villaness every. Funny, loopey, Ms. Malaprop and feisty. Now if we could eliminate the homicidal maniac part of her character, she'd be perfect! (well, guess we'd have to eliminate the sexual predator part also. work in progress....)
Julia,
Thanks for the great recap.

Julia, this is great. Nicely done and as usual, very funny.
I'm really enjoying everyone in this show, but Marivicki is really starting to annoy me... so I'm guessing maybe that's as it's meant to be. If so, then she's also doing a great job.
Loved the one-on-one with Fredra and Super Mau, but I'm a little disappointed that la Reina caved so easily. I expect much more of my Über-Bitch. Oh well, I don't think that it's over with between them.
That commercial was like a Xanaxed-out flash mob. And Marivicki was pleased with it? ¡Por favor!
Apoteósica: another very nifty, very usable word... thanks Bernie.
Belated welcome to phillylady from yesterday.

Thanks for your recap Julia. My favorite line and hope "Muñeca leaves arm-in-arm with her soon-to-be-tradeup (I hope), Fidel."
I too was sad Fedra caved so easily with the slimy twit. Well at least I can hope they will do one another in by the close of the novela. And perhaps I'll throw in Low for the perfect threesome.
I know Low is a jerk but his attempt to defend his actions by telling Muñeca she can't have children seemed to be a new low even for him. I'm so glad she didn't cave in and walked off with Fidel.

Thanks Julia for the recap. Loved the snark. It was needed with this shrill episode. I enjoyed th scenes with MariVictoria and El Lirio. There was definitely some heat generated between those two with the pent up sexual tension they have.
Ilitia found out that papa was a rolling stone and fathered another child with someone else.
I hope Mari will calm down with the hysterics. It's starting to grate my nerves.

No one has mentioned it in the comments, but did you notice how Emanuel was coming on to Marianela as Lirio? Whether he likes it or not, he's got the hots for Mari/Vicki. This should prove to be very interesting as the show continues develop. Will his feelings grow stronger and will he find out who Mari/Vicki truly is? What happens with his relationship with Ilitia and will she turn to Brandon once again?

"...like a Xanaxed-out flash mob." Thanks, Carlos. I was trying to think of a way to express the lameness of the commercial and finally gave up. That was perfect.
How is this agency still in business? When I was watching last week's episodes on Sunday, I noticed that one of the background office people was drawing kindergartenish pictures of shampoo bottles and coloring them. This was while Ilitia was already doing the super-lame shampoo ad. In which they didn't even take the time to smooth her hair down for each shot so it would look perfect.
And now to weigh in on other vital hair issues: I actually like Axel's hair. Yes, it's a mess, but it suits him. I also like Emanuel's facial situation. I think he's looked hotter than ever the last few weeks.

Hi Barbara M. Yep, I think we all noticed the sexual tension even if we didn't mention it. Pretty kinky with that Darth Vadar voice and the black leather everywhere. Tie me up, tie me down!
And I'm pretty sure we can expect Emanual to end up with Mari/Vicky and Ilitia with Brandon. At least I sure hope so!
And I'm pretty sure we can expect Emanual to end up with Mari/Vicky and Ilitia with Brandon. At least I sure hope so!
Barbara, you're right, he definitely doesn't hold back on the seductive behavior when he's in disguise. I wonder if we'll get a Furia Enmascarada (Gancho) scenario in which she gets blindfolded so he can take off the mask without revealing his identity.
Oh, one vocab note...I think Fedra really told Mau-ron things could blow up IN his face, but I like the visual of his orange face exploding much better...
Julia, this is awesome! Your vacation must’ve left your neurons tanned and rested because they’re firing like mad now. Awesome title too. And of course you would notice how the walls are built!
I was surprised that Vicky wasn’t more scared of the Lirio. Even though earlier she had said she didn’t find him alarming, here he was acting all creepy and yet she calmly goes outside with him and gets on his motorcycle. Any other woman would have taken the opportunity to run. I liked that he was out in broad daylight, wanting to make his escape, while she stood there ranting about Eman.
And I’m still agog that she would go alone to the house of a man who tried to rape her.
One of the main points in the earlier months of this show was that it is inner beauty that really matters. Eman fell in love with Mari for who she was, for her kind and good heart. Why he is drawn to her now – and why Brandon is – is a complete mystery to me because she’s morphed into a tight-lipped harridan.
I didn’t take Low’s comment about Muneca’s not being able to have kids as a dig at her. It seemed more like he was saying that she had had the opportunity to be a mother, and wasn’t that nice. I hate to cut the guy any slack, but that seemed to me to be his point, and that he was trying to sweet-talk her rather than insult her.
I didn’t get to join the comments yesterday, but I sure enjoyed them in the evening. What great commenters this show has!

Maggie, that's a good point, that Brandon's and Emanuel's falling for Victoria seems contrary to the message that it's personality that counts. What in heck is the attraction? I guess maybe the message is that it's protagonista pheromones that count. I can't even say they're just attracted to her looks, because they're surrounded by pretty ladies they aren't falling all over.
I was shocked that Emiliano would send Vicky to Mau's house alone. Before, when she was invited to dinner, he was adamant that she not go there alone. Now they can't send a messenger? I know it was just plot contrivance, but they should have at least made it in character...maybe they needed someone with executive authority (which she somehow already has) to go, but he should have insisted on sending someone with her, then she could be super-stubborn as usual and insist she could go alone. She does seem to have a rather inflated confidence in her ability to defend herself.

Maggie...I admire your kind heart in putting the best possible spin on Lorenzo's remark. But reminding an infertile woman that she wasn't able to have babies on her own is simply wounding. No matter how it's said or for what purpose. I think it was just his narcissistic insensitive way of trying to wheedle her into raising another one of his random sperm effects and make no fuss about it.
But I DO admire your kind heart. And maybe you're right.

You know, there's just something likable about Lorenzo even as bad as he is, and I noticed the same thing about Cesar in JQ as well. I find myself often wanting to give him the benefit of the doubt. Hey, after all, Begoña wasn't exactly a saint. Maybe it's those sad hound dog eyes.

Yeah, I thought that actor was pretty hot in Juan Querendon too. Looked especially nice in a suit. He didn't kill anyone in that though, did he?
I liked how el lirio kissed Mari's hand through his mask-voice-disguiser type thing. I thought it was hilarious; talk about a pointless endeavor. Oh what the heck, their whole attraction is kind of absurd so I'll by the protaganista pheromone theory. Works for me.
Julia, I like your furio enmascarada suggestion. I found that whole plot contrivance kind of hot and wouldn't mind seeing it again. Doesn't that make it guilt free, that you don't exactly know who you're romancing?

Really enjoyed the Vicki/Mari and Lirio scenes - hilarious!
Yes! he was coming on to her. Emanuel has been coming on to Vicki like a man in heat any time she comes into the room - oh that or trying to make her jealous by fawning all over his wife in her presence.
I figure Marianela's pheromones got imprinted on Eman and he just can't help himself even though Vicki seems like the completely opposite type of person.
I know some of you don't like this sexually aggressive Eman, but I've been enjoying it. It balances well with Mari's new harridan persona. I love their clashes!

P.S. LOL - I see reading further comments that the "protagonista pheromones" phenomenon has already been identified - LOL!
