Triunfo del Amor #15 1/21/11 Confessions of a Mad Ex-House Maid
Cap. #15
The party may be nearly over at the Sandoval house, but it’s still going on long and strong for Fernanda and Scuzzy Tattoo-Boy, aka Federico, in some woodsy part of the estate. They are currently breaking in the front seat of Fer’s new Mini-mobile. Once that seat has been thoroughly tested, Scuzzy takes a cigarette break and asks Fer if she liked it and if she has any regrets. Fer guffaws and says she never regrets anything she does.
Dawn has arrived at the Sandoval’s, but Fer still hasn’t. Victoria, Osvaldo, Max and the other notables from the Casa de Modas are still up pacing the floor and tearfully wringing their hands, wondering what could have happened to dear, impetuous, innocent Fer! Antonieta tells Vicky they’ve checked with Locatel, and all the hospitals and police stations in the area but she wasn’t listed with any of them. Vicki is going out of her mind with worry. Oz loses his temper and starts blaming her for giving Fer the car as a present because it wasn’t in the garage, and at this point he’s certain she’s off driving around the city like the wild-child she is. Oscar breaks in and starts giving Oz grief for going off on Vicki. Max and Pepino have to pull him off. Max tells Oscar to cool his jets. Then it’s Vicki’s turn for recriminations. She starts in on Oz for treating Scuzzy like a regular “official fiance”. She’s certain Fer’s gone off with him somewhere and is up to no good. Oz bitterly refuses to be blamed for every rotten thing that goes wrong in the family, especially since she’s the one who’s never around to spend time with her daughter. If the girl’s rebellious, it’s Vicki’s fault! Max (Joe Cool) breaks them apart and tells them this isn’t the time to yell, let alone to be so disrespectful with one another. (Damn! I thought this was All In The Family hour!) Oz backs off and apologizes. Vicki does likewise. Fabian suggests that they start calling Fer’s guest list of friends to see if she spent the night with one of them. (He’s been hiding his little light under a bushel for way too long! Intel inside!)
While the men go off to start calling, Vicki cries on Toni’s shoulder. She couldn’t stand to have something awful happen to this daughter after what happened with her other daughter, she mewls.
Meanwhile, Scuzzy tries sneaking in his front door, but Papa Padilla is up and waiting for him. He wants to know where Sonny Boy’s been. With Fer at the party, of course, says Scuzzy. Papa looks stern and has him sit down, but instead of giving him a lecture on respectability he tells the kid to figure a way somehow to get the girl to marry him. When Feddy tells Daddy with a sh!t-eating grin that he spent the night with the brown-haired bombshell and that they even made love, Papa P doesn’t criticize Junior! Not at all! He is elated and even gives the kid an attaboy! "--Perfect!! Perfect!!"
Back at the Sandoval’s, Max tells his mother that no one they called knows where Fer is, either. Oz tries comforting Vicki by reminding her that at least they know there hasn’t been an accident.
Just then Fer walks in the door. Vicki starts scolding and giving her the third degree. Where has she been all night and with who!! Fer acts the innocent (well, acting’s in her genes so I guess she comes by it naturally). Why, with her boyfriend, driving around in her new car. Vicki looks over at Oz and lays the blame on Scuzzy for her daughter’s increasingly rebellious attitude. Fer gets on her high-horse and asks Vicki if she expects her to stay locked away in the house and become a bitter female like her?
Oz grabs Fer and gives her (finally!) a well-deserved shaking. He smells alcohol on her and immediately wants to know if something happened between her and the scuzz ball. (Ok. Ok. Time for a reality check here, Dad. You don’t really expect your kid to tell you the truth, especially in front of a house-full of her mom’s employees?) Fer denies anything else happened. She might be rebellious and impulsive, she says, but she has her moral standards! And with that, she manages to turn the tables again and lay the guilt-trip on both parental units. She is hurt to the quick that they distrust her! Fer then makes her Premio-winning dramatic exit by racing up to her room in a phony fit of wounded dignity.
At the Padilla Pigsty, Rudy tells Feddy he knew that there was some tiny ember [chispa] that might spark in that empty skull of his. All the better to hitch themselves up to Sra. Victoria’s wagon. Feddy asks his papa why he seems so attached to [apegado] Sra. Victoria? Papa gives him a slap across the mouth. "--What’s it to you? Follow my instructions and nix the questions!"
Back in Fer’s room, Vicki is laying down the law. Fer is grounded. No privileges, no amenities, no visitors, no leaving her room! Bad behavior has its consequences, she scolds. (Unfortunately, I’d say it’s at least 5 to 8 years overdue, but better late than never, I guess.) Fer asks if she expects her to be a nun or something. After all, she didn’t do anything wrong! Vicki tells her she wasn’t born yesterday and if Fer spent the entire night with a boy, obviously something happened. She prays to gawd there won’t be any unfortunate consequences. Like what? asks Fer. Vicki gets a distant look in her eyes and says that when you’re young it’s easy to let yourself get carried away by passion and the results can mark your life forever. “--They will fill your soul with regret and burden you.” Fer’s attitude softens a bit. "--What happened to you, Mama? Why are you talking like that?" Vicki won’t explain further. She walks out of the bedroom and shuts Fer in.
In the barrio, Milagros is anxious to know how it went between Juanjo after she left him and the suggestively negligéed Linda alone at dinner. (Still having problems with Millie allowing that at her dinnertable.) He’s on cloud 9 and tingling all over, he says. Matchmaker Millie tries to give her naive little JJ a nudge towards impassioned prowess and says well they must be novios, then! Really, Ma?? (This whole situation is just way too over the top for me. My beanie can’t be adjusted any more than it already is!) FF>>
Upstairs in Maria’s apartment, the girls are discussing the results of Martincito’s operation. Nathy changes the subject to mention that Juanjo and Linda kissed last night and even discussed her getting a loan from him. Linda doesn’t see the harm in any of it, she says. She simply decided he has other attributes. Maria looks over at Linda. Those "attributes" have to do with money, right? Linda says more or less. "--You have to learn to always leave a little candle lit, and your foot in the door" is Linda’s sage reply.
Back at Millie’s, she’s giving her son a major pep talk. JJ says they haven’t declared themselves formally yet. Mille says he shouldn’t be so old-fashioned. "--These days a man has to take the initiative and be aggressive with women! Take them by surprise and they’ll fall at your feet!" (I’d say who’s she to talk, anyway? She tries bagging Don Naco every chance she gets!) Juanjo takes Mama at her word, though, and immediately goes up to Linda’s on his way out to play. Linda opens the door. JJ grabs her and kisses her smack dab on the lips. He looks her in the eyes. "--When a couple kiss it means they’re engaged. I’m off to play soccer with the guys. I’ll make every goal for you, my love." He makes his dramatic exit. Linda doesn’t know what to think, but she seems to like what just happened. (Anything in pants with loose change in the pocket is all right by Linda!) FF>>
At the fashion studio, Vicki and Max are discussing his sister’s situation. Max insists that nothing happened if Fer says it didn’t and so she should trust Fer. Vicki is just as adamant and says again that she wasn’t born yesterday. "--I know what the young of this generation are like! They are irresponsible and wild [alocado]! They never think of the consequences!" (Like Vicki, Viewerville wonders if Scuzzy might have left Fer with an extra birthday present.) Max still thinks she’s exaggerating things. Vicki says, well, he doesn’t know what it’s like to lose a child or the anguish a mother feels, nor the years of crying over their absence. Max wonders what she’s talking about. She’s never lost a child. Vicki catches herself and dodges a bullet. No, she hasn’t, but she can imagine it. If she’d lost Fer she’d be part of the walking dead. Her life would have lost all meaning.
Up in her bedroom, Fer’s playing the sympathy card with Daddy over being grounded by Mommie. It’s not fair! Oz tells her she brought it on herself. Fer can’t believe Daddy’s taking Mommie’s side in this! Oz drops the curtain on her little act and demands the truth from her. “--What really happened between you and that boy??” She puts on a pretty pout and lies again about only driving around and having an innocent time watching the sun rise. Oz suddenly flies into a raging temper. He tells her doesn’t believe a word and he’s going to find out the truth! He puts on his jacket to leave and Fer notices the gun he’s got tucked in the back of his belt She’s scared and this time it’s no act! "--Where are you going? What are you going to do???" Oz says he’s going to have a little interview with Scuzzy Tattoo-Boy and get to the bottom of things. It’s not going to be pretty, either! Fer runs after him. "--I’m going to get at the truth and your little boyfriend is going to clear it all up for me!" She grabs his arm and Oz notices she’s not wearing her gold (uber-diamond encrusted) watch he gave her. He asks her where the watch is. (Rather refreshing to see Brat-Baby get a good scare from Papi for once!) She thinks back quickly and remembers leaving it in the bathroom. Oz tells her she’d better have it on when he gets back because if she doesn’t, she can be certain it’ll get really nasty between the two of them. (Viewerville has all its fingers and toes crossed that it’s a promise and not a threat.) He races out the door leaving Fer in Ruh-roh! mode.
Meanwhile, Max has made a visit to the orphanage to speak with the Mother Superior, apparently to get her to mediate for him with Maria. She tells Max they knew Maria had a boyfriend but they never imagined he would be Sra. Victoria’s son! She asks if his mother is aware of them dating. He admits she doesn’t but says that doesn’t stop him from loving Maria with all his heart. MS doesn’t know if he’s really being truthful since Maria has come crying to them many times because of all the lies he’s told her. Max agrees 100%, he says, and says he understands her scorn. But he won’t give up on Maria. He’s going to fight to win her back whatever the cost.
Back at Vicki’s office, she confesses to Toni that she almost gave away her secret to Max. Fortunately for her, he didn’t understand and left confused about everything. Toni insists she has to come clean about all of it with her family. She can’t continue bearing the burden alone. Toni begs her to tell her family about her past. Vicki agrees that the moment to tell them has come. (Duhn-duhn-dunnnn!)
In Madre Superior’s office again, MS tells Max that Padre Juan Pablo was upset at his mother for the treatment towards Maria, but she’s learned that she had reconsidered and things were going better. Max admits his mother has a rather harsh personality but knows when she’s done wrong and is in fact very happy with Maria. She’s even told him she’s going to take her on tour with her to model. MS is ecstatic. She tells Max that she promised Maria she’d look out for her and is not inclined to see her suffer. That means him. She wants him to swear before Dios that he truly loves Maria. Max takes the pledge and swears before the crucifix that he loves Maria with all his heart.
Fer, meanwhile, is frantically searching every crack and cranny of the bathroom for her watch. It’s not there! She wonders if she’ll be grounded for life now! (Works for me!)
Maria is practicing her turns on the runway when Max appears and wants to talk. She says she's busy right now and can't be distracted. He says sorry, but she promised to listen to him and a promise is a promise. Maria says bad choice of topics since he doesn't know how to keep his promises. Max says he believes he has a right to defend himself. “--Even a condemned man has the right to defend himself, so don't be this way.” She says all right. I forgive you. I forgive you for having lied to me, for making me your good-time gal, for your having tricked me and all the rest of it. Now that I've forgiven you, leave me in peace, ok? He jumps up onto the runway and grabs her. He smiles hopefully. "--So now that I'm pardoned can we continue with things like always?" She tells him not to touch her. Dumbfounded, he asks her if she forgave him or not? Yes, she forgave him but she wants him to stop bothering her. There's nothing that keeps them together now. Really? Better to just leave her in peace, she says. No. He won't. Max grabs her and turns her to face him. "--Look me in the eyes. Look me in the eyes and swear to me that you don't love me and I swear I'll leave you in peace." She looks up but before anything is resolved, Uni decides to leave us all hang out to dry while its sponsors hawk their goodies.
When we return, Max is in the middle of said prior conversation. “--You see? You don't know how to lie.” Maria looks sorrowfully up at him and says sure I love you because you're here in my heart. But your like a thorn stuck in me and tearing at me because you've fooled me and destroyed my illusions, my hopes. That's why I don't want to see you again. Because you're going to end up destroying me!" She walks away and lets him consider the consequences.
Back at the manse, Fer is tearing her bedroom apart looking for her watch. Apparently she's called Peppy to help her look for it. (Why? Who knows?) She's sure that somebody stole it but when Peppy suggests it was one of the guests she refuses to believe it. She imagines what her father will say when he finds out. "--You're so careless, Fer! You lose everything!" Peppy says he's right. She is careless about everything. Fer says it's not her fault! Why is he always giving her things she doesn't even want? Always expensive stuff too!
Back at Slime Central, Papa Padilla is on the phone trying to buy something from a contact. Yeah, he'll have the money for him today. Scuzzy wonders how he's supposed to pay for it if he spent all his money on his bail.
Back at Fer's, Peppy suggests she could have lost the watch while she was "practicing Love with Lover-Boy". What's he mean by that??? “--Well, a little kiss here, a little tickle there and ... frivolous behavior! It falls off and nobody realizes it. In the middle of loving anything can happen....” Fer tries to remember.
Rudy tells Feddy to can the stupid questions and instead thank the Lord that he has a father like himself. He's going to buy himself a brand new car, as if he hadn't noticed! Scuzzy wants to know if there'll be a bit of the take for him. Papa yells at him not to be so stupid and to just do what he says! Just then Oz bursts in and starts waiving his gun around like a take from one of his gangsta flicks. (Sorry, but watching a grown man hold a gun like that gives me the giggles. It can’t be taken seriously. Oh well.....) Oz wants answers and fast!! "--Ok, you piece of trash! Tell me how you spent the night with my daughter! TELL ME! TALK! Or I swear I'll make you talk, you piece of garbage!!"
We beam to the park and pleasanter pastimes. JJ is playing soccer and making GOL! GOL! GOL! for sweet, skimpily clad Lindacita. Don Naco tells JJ now that he's got a girlfriend he's going to be the odd man out. JJ tries to get him to date Mama. Naco says her big problem is that she's so forward about things. He's a man's man and doesn't go for that pushy stuff. FF>>
Back at Rudy's, Oz keeps knocking Scuzzy around like Juanjo's soccer ball and demanding answers. Tattoo-Boy swears all they did was drive around and watch the sunrise together. (Yeah, sounds to me like he and Fer got their story straight before the final adios this morning.) Rudy swears that his kid's a blockhead, but he never ever lies! Really? (Oz would rather hear what he wants to, it seems. Don’t be such a freakin' pushover!) Like his father, leading him to believe that he was some big-shot businessman? Now he sees the pigsty place he lives and works out of. They’re nothing but a couple of con-artists!! Ozzie warns them to steer clear of him and his family and for Scuzzy to back off his daughter [bajar de cuarta = literally, put it in fourth gear]. He won't be responsible for what comes next if he ever sees Scuzzy near his daughter again! Got it??? Scuzzy whimpers in his wet didies. "--Yeah, yeah! All right!" Oz leaves. Rudy slaps the back of Scuzzy's head and curses. "--You idiot!" "--Calm down, Pops! This doesn't finish off our little gold mine for us." Rudy tells him to nix the commentary. He's got plenty of weapons of his own to deal with Sra. Victoria. "--Her idiot husband doesn’t even imagine!"
We beam over to JP's church where he's sitting for confession. A veiled woman walks in and takes her seat in the confessional. JP goes through the motions. How long has it been since she last confessed? "--More than twenty years ago." Why did she forget about God? Because God forgot about her. “--God tests us all,” he says proforma, but He never forgets us. Has it been a while since she's been to church? No, she almost always comes to pray at this church, she says. "--You have a very bad memory for voices, Padre." He wonders why and if he's supposed to know her. "--Much more than you think! We saw each other a bit ago, but you knew me years ago and you shared very important moments in my life with me." Where? “--In your parents' home.” JP finally gets it. "--Victoria! It's you, Victoria????" She lifts her veil. “--Yes, I am Victoria, that humble girl who not only gave you that crucifix the last night you spent at your parents' home before returning to the seminary, but I also also gave my innocence to you, my will, and my virginity!" JP is UH-OH-impactada and suddenly it looks like he needs to be the one confessing.
Maria gets back to her apartment and Nat wants to know how it went today. Maria says that Max came back, apologized, and forced her to kiss him. (Guess Uni accidentally edited that nifty scene out, or my cable did.) She still loves him with all her heart despite everything and doesn't know how long she'll be able to stand the torture. Nathy gives her a maternal shoulder.
At the same time, Fer's on the phone with Scuzzy and griping about being grounded. She's only able to talk to him on the phone because nobody's around right now. Scuzzy tells her about the little scene her dad put on for them and how his father backed him up. Feddy adds that her Papa backed up his threats not to see her again with his gun and then left. She tells him that's not going to happen cuz nobody is going to separate them. Nobody! Scuzzy's fine with sneaking around to see her. She mentions that to top it off, she's lost the watch Daddy gave her. She can't find it anywhere! A light goes off in Scuzzy's pea-sized brain. He looks over at Rudy and realizes that's where the cash for the new car must be coming from.
Back at Maria's, Nat is telling her that Max deserves another chance. Maria would like to do that, but she's afraid he'll lie again and she just couldn't handle it. Linda walks out with the society pages and tells them there's a terrific spread on Ozvaldo's daughter's birthday party. Maria's a fool for missing out on the good life. If only she were as lucky as Maria is, she opines. Maria says really? You'd rather be an orphan abandoned by your parents? That is my lucky reality. She walks out of the room. Nat clucks at Linda.
Feddy asks his dad if by any chance he saw the gold watch Fer was just given. Rudy straightens up and looks his son in the eye and then hedges. "--What would I know about your little girlfriend's gold watch? What are you hinting at, eh? What are you hinting at??? Now get out of my chair!! How many times have I told you not to sit in my chair! Now scram!! I don't want to look at you!!" Feddy hides around the pillar and thinks to himself that he is certain he stole it. No doubt about it!
Oz is BAAAAAck and he barges into Fer's bedroom. She hides the phone behind her back. "--You get it straight! I don't ever want you to see that lazy good-for-nothing hood [vago malviviente] you call a boyfriend ever again!! Understand?? NEVER!!" She scoots around the room, terrified, and starts to object. He catches a glimpse of the phone from the reflection in the mirror and grabs it out of her hands. He extends the Bony Finger of Fate at her. "--Don't you ever disobey me again, Fernanda!" (Oooooweeeey! He has got to be boiling mad. Even used her full name!) I promise you I will never spoil you again like I have until now!! You understand??" "--Yes, Daddy." He slams the door shut.
Back at the confessional, JP tells Vicki that he thought the past would return, but he never dreamed it would be like this. Vicki replies, "Indeed [efecto]! But I'm not that ignorant, insignificant little woman. Now I have power and wealth. Do you want to know how I managed it?" JP supposes it was by hard work and lots of effort. "--Saying it that way it sounds easy, but it wasn't. I got it through hate, rage and vengeance because I knew that some day we would come face to face again. I knew I would enjoy not only this but something else even more important." "--More important?" "--Can't you guess?" JP is all out of good guesses about now. He draws a blank.
Maria, meanwhile, is in her room staring at the picture she and Max took at the amusement park and tearfully remembering back to all the times--good and bad-- they shared together. "Ah Max, my love, my only love."
Back at the fashion studio, Fab tells Max he better get used to the fact that Maria will never truly forgive him for not being honest with her from the start. Max thinks otherwise and isn't giving up hope. He knows that she still loves him. They love each other and that's all that counts, he says.
At the confessional again, JP asks if Vicki would rather continue talking in his office. She asks why? Is he afraid his parishioners might find out what kind of man he really is? She admits how much she loved him back then. It was a love she couldn't hide, even though it was forbidden. He asks her not to talk about it or to remember it. She says of course, for him, it's more comfortable to imagine that that moment never happened! But it did! She could never be the same afterwards. That's when her transformation began from a simple, sweet girl to the hard and inflexible woman she is now: a woman who feels pity for no one because no one felt pity for her! He tells her that he prayed often for her to hope that she could forgive him and find peace. Well, she says, I never could. Your own mother saw to that! She made sure my life would be Hell! She ran me off and that's when I began my painful tortuous ordeal [calvario] trying to find work. I suffered greatly until I swore to myself that I would not any longer [ya, no más]! Mistreatment and slights took care of changing me!"
JP tells Vicki he never imagined he'd caused her so much harm. She says it wasn't just her but an innocent as well. He isn't following. She tells him he knows very well, so why ask? He insists he doesn't and swears before the Holy Altar that he really doesn't know what she's talking about. Vicki tells him that his mother told her herself, laughing and mocking her the whole way, that she'd told him and what his answer had been: that what happened to her meant nothing, that she was lying and that she was only trying to slander [difamar] him. JP tells her he had never discussed the subject with his mother. "--Then, you never knew?" "--For God's sake, what are you talking about?" "--I got pregnant! I had a daughter! Your daughter!!" JP is OMG! impactado as the words bounce around the confessional and ring in his ears.
Time to cue the kayak.......

Tks Jardinera since I slept through the WHOLE thing. I did tape so maybe I'll watch tonight if I can stay awake.
Thanks, Jardinera for a thorough and funny recap. It's good to see things moving along. Osvaldo seemed like he was playing one of his on-screen heroes while he brandished the gun. I think Papa Padilla of the large head is going to make lots of trouble, and I'm almost cheering him on. Loved it when he told tattoo boy to get out of his chair.

Gracias, Jardinera; great job.
Is it really that easy for a civilian to own firearms in Mexico? Novelas make it look like every male over 18 has one if he feels the situation warrants it.
Good for Osvaldo that he's seeing his bratty daughter for who she really is. This is at least 5 years overdue. Fabian is still blind as a bat.
Padilla will be a lot of trouble, no te preocupes.
I wonder whether Victoria ever saw Bernarda's face during the "accident". Where was Antonieta when it happened? There needs to be something that proves that Bernarda is the guilty party.

Thanks for the recap Jardinera. I enjoyed the last part with JP and Victoria the best. I can just imagine how finding out he has a daughter after all those years must have been.
UA: It's not easy to buy and own a gun in México. You need a permit and getting it is supposedly a big hassle, especially nowadays. Most people in urban concentrations don't have one, that's more a thing of smaller rural areas. But there are ways to get illegal guns, which is how criminals get them.

Thanks, Jardinera. Great job.
They broke the mold when they created Scuzzy -- or we can hope anyway. Can't quite see him with elegant Fer, but who is looking for rationality.
The Osvaldo-Fer dynamic remains a might strange. He's clearly the more tuned-in and realistic parent. On the other hand, sitting in her bed with her is one more provocative scene between the two that seems odd. Getting a gun and threatening Scuzzy seems over the top as well. Still, I like the Osvaldo character and the actor has grown on me.
As I recall from EPDA, things really pick up after Juan Pablo finds out that he is a parent.

I heard somewhere that things pick up around episode 20, so we are getting close.
Osvaldo (both actor and character) have really grown on me, too. Especially when he jumped all over Bratzilla. I actually cheered.
I was a little disturbed that the first "hot" scene was between two supposed teens. Isn't there some TN rule against gratuitous sex? (At least Ivanna's sex was part of a master plan lol.)
I loved the ending last night. Padre was muy impactado indeed. What will this mean for the St Bernard?
I'm still waiting for Vick to grow on me. I just don't see any redeeming qualities in her yet. I'm rooting for Tomasa and Antonieta.
A bit off topic, but the costuming is driving me crazy. I know it's not a big thing but it is annoying the stew out of me. I'm not saying STuD was great, but it was better.
The costumes in TdA look cheap and thrown together. At least for the women. The men look pretty sharp (excluding TattRat, PopPadilla and JuanHUH?
1. Uncle Fester's coat for Vicky at the party
2. Why does MD keep wearing heels with SOCKS? (I fully understand the heels as Maite is short...but socks?)
3. What is up with MDs dresses? I *think* they are going for "innocent", but they just look stupid.
4.Nati needs shampoo, a brush and contact lenses. I don't get why they put her in mismatched clothing, either. Plain ol' jeans and a t-shirt would send the same message.
5. Fer's itty bitty top hat.
6. Fer's gloves and fishnets.

Gracias, Jardinera!!
Sara: don't forget the braids too!! really irksome. yes, the socks are utterly ridiculous. if anyone's seen the young women in Herederos, they're dressed young without looking silly.

Jar: Amiga...gracias! Such detail...absolute detail!!!
Oz: yes, Yes, and YES! He was being a man and not controlled by two whiny, manipulative women when he stood up to Pop Padilla and Fony Fer. How he dealt with Fony Fer was the best...absolute best!!! Fer is in for one huge surprise. I only hope that Victoria does not negate things by letting Fony Fer get away with all that she has done.
Scuzzy Tatoo Boy: interesting how he suspected and then bubbled in his head that he KNEW Pops stole the watch. I wonder what he will do with that bit of infos?
Sara: I absolutely agree with you about the costuming. The one thing that I could never figure out in STuD was how everyone could be in shirt sleeves and Jose Miguel would be in some stifling hot chastity coat. Do you remember one time when someone ripped it off him and you could see that FC had really been sweating under the coat?
Well...why is Mad Max ALWAYS in that scarf when everyone else is in short sleeves.
...and Victoria and that Uncle Fester coat?! That is the UGLIEST coat I have ever seen on a TN.
Maria Desinformada and her UGLY braids and the heels with socks...oy...that just has to go. As a number of you have already said, I simply do not feel the chemistry between Max and Desinformada...i just don't feel it. Max is a bit more believable, but even when she was staring at his foto, Desinformada didn't convince.
I am glad, though, that Victoria told JP the truth. Now, we shall see what comes of it. I think what will be much more difficult for Victoria will be to tell Oz that Padilla raped her. I think that at this stage in her life, she might be afraid of how Oz would react.
Oz and LindaHO will be on Sal y Pimienta on Sunday night.
Just who is this Dorismar (is that her name?) that plays LindaHO? Has she been in other TN?
Gracias, Jar!!!

Dorismar is an Argentine starlet that has appeared in playboy and many other sexy photoshoots. According to my research, she was even deported from Miami. She is pretty tall too at 5'10"

Ibarramedia-I suspected she was tall. They put her in flats (ugly ones at that) often.
Susanita-The scarves have caught my attention, too. My list was getting kind of long, so I decided to just stick with the ladies today.
BUT, I don't want anyone to think my complaints about costuming means I'm unhappy with this TN. My beanie is firmly in place and I'm buckled in for the ride.

Anon at 937: I am LAUGHING!
Sara: I know, I know! It's not that I don't like the scarf look...quite the contrary, but it doesn't fit with time of year and what everyone else is wearing! LOL!
Ibarrmedia: Gracias! Why am I not surprised that she would be in the sexy photoshoots?! It will be interesting to see if they talk to her on Sal y Pimienta.

Thank you, Jardinera! =) Still reading, but I wanted to say thanks in case I didn't get a chance to comment later.
Man, I'm happy today. I got home to a surprise bday present. It was the most thoughtful gift ever...Cuidado Con el Ángel on dvd!!! I love my friends! :)

Feliz compleanos, Cielo!
This is not the only novela in which Maite is dressed oddly. Most of what she wore in Mi Pecado was equally odd.

Happy Birthday Cielo!
UA-I wonder if Maite's odd costuming is because they don't know what do with her. From what I can tell, she is a healthy size and well endowed boob-wise. In the two roles I've seen her in (CCEA and this) she is supposed to be the young innocent so maybe they are trying to call less attention to the boobies...but surely there are more stylish ways to do that?

It was actually a belated gift, but thank you mucho, Urban Anthro and Sara. :) I just had to tell you all that it was CCEA. That was my first novela. :)
I agree on Maite's wardrobe. Near the end of CCEA, they actually had her wearing a few cute outfits. Ironically, it was when she was blind.

=============
Well, gang:
Internet problems yesterday or this would have been up a while earlier.
Got to say it was most satisfying to see Oz and Vicki put the screws to Ferocious Fernanda finally!!!! Tho' IMHO seeing Oz in bed with a daughter that looks and dresses like a high-priced Vegas hooker did creep me out, too.
Salvador Pineda does play a great ogre these days, considering he used to be a handsome leading man a few decades ago. ITA that he will be a terrifically scheming villano in this and may give Guillermo Cantú a run for his money for best villano in the Premios.
Whoever dresses Ste. Bernarda has got her looking at times like some Vampire out of a Stephen King movie --Salem's Lot to be more precise. But Uncle Fester is a great comparison also!!
As far as socks and heels, I noticed that also and wondered if it's a new fashion statement I was too old to pick up on. It's absolutely odd and makes the actresses look stocky and bow-legged, though I know it was popular in the cities back in the '80's for a bit and back during WWII when hose were hard to come by.
I'm wondering if we are supposed to like Victoria or not and if now that the truth is out between her and Juan Pablo that her character begins to wise up. I am also waiting to see her show some redeeming qualities.

Jardinera, once more you've given us a fun, smoothly crafted, very entertaining recap. I read this and enjoyed it yesterday, but didn't finish watching this episode until this morning.
I have mixed feelings about this show. Overall, I find it entertaining. I watched ePdA but don't remember all that much about it though it's coming back to me as I watch this show unfold.
I'm not a fan of William Levy and his character Max has left me cold so far. The grand gesture of purchasing the medical device anonymously was very endearing but his heavy-handed aggressive approach to courting (does anyone still use that term?) seems at best a very pushy attempt at seduction and at times approaches stalking. In this episode he seemed to think that Maria's forgiveness was automatic permission to paw at her. He seems to think that his wealth and prettiness equal entitlement. That said, JJ seems rather presumptuous himself though Linda is... to be fair... a bit provocative.
So far I can only shake my head over Maria. She grew up sheltered in the orphanage, I doubt that she had much contact with boys, much less dated, and now she sees a pretty boy who is interested, and suddenly this is her one true love? ¡Por favor! Maybe he is, but this is certainly not the right time in her life for that decision. Hormones run amok.
I agree with you about Ozzy and the pistol. Kinda hard to take him seriously though I assume there were bullets in that gun.
Still early, so I'm trying to keep an open mind about all the characters.

Jardinera- as to the shoes/socks/bowlegs.
The only thing I remember about the VERY little bit I saw of CCEA was Maite stomping around in flip flops and I kept thinking she was bowlegged and walked like a man.

I didn't see CCEA but wasn't Maité supposed to be raised poor and with little educatiion? It would make sense if she wasn't poised and didn't have a good fashion sense.
In Mi Pecado they dressed her accentuanting her attributes. It was a recurring gag that her mom would spend the whole novela buttoning up her blouse. I didn't think she looked so odd there, at the beginning they wet for an odd hippy look but then they stopped that and I thought she looked normal. The little vests she wore were not well liked among the viewers here but last year they were popular with the young girls in México. Lucero wore them too in STuD.
Now this novela, I don't know. Heels with socks aren't popular anywhere I've been.

Jardinera, thanks for another fabulous recap.
Decisions about wardrobe are always completely opaque to me, but I think Maite manages to look sweet no matter what they throw on her back. And I love the scarf on Levy.
I'm with you, Jardinera, about Milagros's encouragement of the LindoHo/JuanJo merger. Incomprehensible. Really, this idiotez after the Nathy/patán de Veracruz fiasco -- she should have her brujería license restricted: no more matchmaking. Ever.

UA: I agree with you re Maite's outfits in Mi Pecado.... lol!
Sara: the flip flops on CCEA irked me too.
Susanita/Sara: I am ROFL about the scarf. but he sure looks good in 'em.
Cielo: CCEA was the first time I laid eyes on WL, and I've been a goner since.
I guess the reason why Perroni grates on me is because of the way they've been dressing her. yes, i know, i know... i am shallow. plus, to me, she seems to have only 2 or 3 expressions on her face. lo siento.

Re: Socks With Heels
It was something of a Hollywood trend when this series started production:
http://news.instyle.com/2010/04/05/trend-alert-socks-heels/
Personally, I think it's meant to look childish, like pigeon toes and certain mannerisms.
The vest with the shirt that isn't tucked in (in STuD and Pecado) looked beyond unsophisticated; it looked careless and untidy.
Finally, let me say that the whole thing in Pecado with Rosario messing with Lucrezia's clothes made me angry and really gave me the creeps.

Random:
I can't wait until tomorrow night. I'd like to think that Padre will rush home and confront MamaBernarda and she'll be screwed...but something tells me that is not going to happen.

Jardinera, thanks once again, your recaps are always appreciated.
The comments have been great as well.
I am looking forward to next week's episodes. I just checked the TV schedule and I think it is preempted Tuesday for the State of the Union speech. Hopefull Max will remember to take off his scarf while indoors, Maria will get a wardrobe upgrade and Linda will just get some clothes on.

Thanks jardinera for the recapp.i don't actually watch since apparently in my country the national TV is airingCCEA so it will be ages before i get to watch TDA but am a huge fan of william and maite so when i read i just get the picture and the comments really do help a lot
Jardinera: Thank you for the fantastic recap.
I am in complete agreement with you on "...Milagros is anxious to know how it went between Juanjo after she left him and the suggestively negligéed Linda alone at dinner. (Still having problems with Millie allowing that at her dinnertable.)". I mean, really! Who would ever come to their own dinner table (let alone anyone else's) in that state of undress? Spare me this storyline - please.
I really like Oz, especially as he "keeps knocking Scuzzy around like Juanjo's soccer ball". Excellent! I was really hoping he'd pump Scuzzy Tattoo-Boy and his odious father full of lead. ;)
Thanks again Jardinera.

Jardinera, the only reason to watch any of this is to better appreciate our stellar, snarky recappers.
Decent acting: Victoria, Osvaldo, the guy playing Juan Pablo, Daniela Romo, Salvador Pineda.
Everyone else: varying shades of pathetic, with Top Dishonors going to Dorismar. Ye Gods, everytime she opens her mouth I cringe.
Cantú may be very good after we see more of him.
And, this makes three novelas I've seen Levy in. Carla Estrada got a decent performance out of him in Sortilegio. But in the others he's completely one dimensional. And I HATE the scarves.
The MD character is completely boring. Her rejection of the man she's in love with might make sense if he'd been unfaithful. But really? She gives him the boot because he hid the fact that he was the son of the owner of the business, perhaps so she wouldn't feel intimidated because of the vast differences in social class. It's dumb writing and not helped by poor acting skills.
Sorry, guys. I'll stop posting from now on. I couldn't resist expressing myself, but I don't want to rain on anyone else's parade.

As for Max's scarves, I guess I'm opposed to 'em simply on principle. ; > )
=========
Thanks again to all of y'all for all the great comments and points of interest that always make this site so much fun to recap for.
Diana: "I mean, really! Who would ever come to their own dinner table (let alone anyone else's) in that state of undress?" Halelujah and pass the peas! LOL!
============
Carlos: ITA with Max's character or rather, his initial lack of such--and you've just gained 100 bonus pts. on my all-male scale. LOL! BTW I fall into the group who occasionally still uses the good ol' fashioned "courting". It defines the wholesome side of dating somehow in my sometimes narrower and prudish world view (add eye roll and wink here) and Max was anything but that when he first made designs on Maria D.
==========
Novelera, I can't remember but did you watch FELS with us? Cantú was terrific as a villano there. I was hoping for more of the same here.
===========
Purity: Welcome!
==========
Rosemary: Thanks for the heads up.

NOTE: TDA looks to be on an hour later right after the State of the Union Speech at 9 Eastern/8 Central on two of my listings. You might want to double check your and set your recorders just in case.
Jardinera: Ah, yes, I was on board for the FELS train ride, er ...wreck. I like Adela Noriega a lot, so that made it bearable. And, yes Cantú was great, as was Diana Bracho.
In this one, so far, all Cantú has done is smirk in an oily manner on the sidelines. Actually, come to think of it, he reminds me of Iago in Othello.

Hello Everyone! Thanks Jardinera, for a wonderful and detailed recap.I prefer this TN to to a few I've seen lately. About Max's scarves,he sounds a little nasal, probably nursing a cold.
Why is Victoria so cold to her husband? She is all hot when she needs sex but other than that,her work is the only thing that interest her. JP is really growing on me.He seems like a calm lake between two valleys.One of these days mummy dearest is going experience some strange gale winds. Did she give birth to him to save her dark soul from hell? Makes me appreciate my mum more.
