El Mundo de Telemundo: Week of February 21, 2011: Discuss Amongst Yourselves!
The big news on Telemundo is the announcement that La Reina del Sur starts February 28 and it will take over Alguien’s time slot.
ALGUIEN TE MIRA
A month passes. A veneer of normalcy covers the friends’ lives.
Rodrigo helps Valeria through her latest relapse. Valeria’s love and gratitude toward him is such that she would do anything to keep him from suffering. And right now he is tortured by the knowledge that Piedad and baby Sofía are in danger from Julián. Valeria makes a last-minute attempt to convince Piedad that Julián is a menace; she tries to tell her what Vidal’s cellmate has said and explain about the old photo of Julián’s mother, Fabiola, in the black dress. Piedad looks uncomfortable but unconvinced.
Tatiana is functioning normally enough to keep her business running -- even if she has lost some customers. She seems on the verge of telling Piedad about her and Julian’s ‘indiscretion’ but then, uncharacteristically, holds her tongue.
Benjamin is trying to keep his nose clean. He hasn’t forgiven Tatiana or Julián for betraying him and he refuses to go to the wedding. He has seen Camila a couple of times. Camila – who has made the cleanest break from the past with her job, her education and her new-found self-sufficiency -- has made it clear that their romantic relationship is over. We, the viewers, know, (and Tati knows too) that Camila is in love with Benja. But Camila lets Benja believe that she is over him.
Pedro Pablo and Lola have reconciled. The blot on their happiness is Lucía’s disappearance with her (and presumably) Pedro Pablo’s son.
Newborns are quite fragile. It’s hard to imagine how Pablito, let alone Lucía, could survive on the street. If they’re alive, it’s because someone took them in. With what intentions? Who knows. Does Lucía’s mother remember that just before she delivered Pablito, Luci was checking out Indianapolis as a place to live?
Matilde is ever more eloquent with facial expressions, blinks, tears and hand squeezes. It’s hard to accept that no one has figured out how to communicate with her. Unless she has an enemy we are unaware of, she should be safe while Julián is away.
Once the telemédico passes his magical scalpel over her, she will recover completely. And she’ll be able to expose Julián for the monster that he is. If only they’d do the operation before Julián comes back….
Julián and Piedad continue with their quiet wedding preparations. Just before the ceremony, Julián’s son, Emilio, surprises Piedad with a gift: the family tree project he was working on for school. Only now it is complete. The famous photo of Fabiola in pearls and black dress and labeled by name takes pride of place on the chart. Julián and Piedad agree to keep the gift their secret. (Will someone else find the chart, realize its importance, and turn it over to Carvajal?) Again, Piedad looks uncomfortable but still not ready to admit that her faith in Julián is tragically misplaced.
We see Rodrigo running desperately, breathlessly through the streets. Is he hoping to stop Piedad's wedding at the last minute? If so, he arrives too late for Piedad but not too late to hold his daughter in his arms. But Julián and Piedad have already exchanged vows. And we see them leave for their brief honeymoon. And then we see the absolute misery on Piedad's face as she braces herself for an intimate moment with her new husband.
Knowing that Matilde’s recovery means the downfall of the Cazador:
Will Julián come back to kill Matilde before she can betray him?
Or will he make a run for it?
And if he runs:
Will he kill Piedad first?
Will he take her with him?
Or will he let her go?
----------------------------------------
NUEVO RICO, NUEVO POBRE
I guess I’m watching this alone, DVRing the daytime episodes and trying to catch up on the weekends. This Colombian comedy is like Yo Soy Betty La Fea – sweetly funny, sharply observed and beautifully played. I guess it is just too regional for prime-time showing. Too bad because it’s so much better than just about every primetime comedy I’ve seen on the two major US Spanish language stations. (Or maybe I just prefer the Colombian to the Mexican take on comedy.) Right now Andrés, the nuevo pobre, is becoming a better person and learning a little about empathy and love; while Brayan, the nuevo rico, is letting himself be led by appearances and getting more callous and less likeable every day.
----------------------
Okay. Te toca a ti. Your turn!

Thanks NovelaMaven! Great news about La Reina del Sur. That means Alguien has 1 more week to go.
HEREDEROS- The extremely slow pace of this novela has been commented on several times. The Chilean novela, Los Hijos del Monte, on which it is based only ran for 50 one-hour (i.e., 46 minutes minus commercials) episodes. Most US novelas rum at least 100 episodes and frequently lots more.
We are at about episode 28 of Herederos which so far is completely following the plot of Hijos through episode 14. You see where I'm going here. You take a 50 episode novela and take twice as long to tell the same story and you've got a 100 episode novela.
It doesn't have to be that way. The Telemundo writers can take the novela off in new directions but so far they haven't done so. We'll see.

LOS HEREDEROS
Yes, it's so slow! And very simplistic anyway. They did some nice dressing up with beautiful scenery, horses, and nice looking people. But I have pretty much lost interest and don't really pay attention when I have it on.
So - now I know why it is so drawn out. I am also surprised that Telemundo didn't dress up the script a little with a lot more happenings.

ALGUIEN--Friday
Well, well, well—I missed a number of capítulos, but tuned in after reading that we’re at the final week. I’m reading recaps and viewing the missed episodes, but was so disappointed in Braindead/Piedad! (I know—futile, but…) An upside is that by the final week, Piedad’s brain may return to some semblance of life.
ATM is still as cinematic as ever—Rod’s scenes were wonderfully shot. Did anyone else’s heart break for Rod when he got to the wedding/honeymoon takeoff too late? And olé for the most painful honeymoon romp to watch. I actually still feel uncomfortable. ;-)
Pretty tense, wondering how all of los cabos sueltos will ensnare Julián by the finale…

It's a darn shame they're dragging out this show. I still enjoy most of it though, compared to the super-dramas on Univision. I'm sick of all the crying, sad faces, and yelling that goes on over there.

Erin, I felt sorry for Rod, but I was cringing thinking he was going to actually attempt to interrupt the wedding. I didn't want Piedad to get a chance to humiliate him again so It was a relief to see that he didn't get there in time. I really liked his scene with Matilde althought I share everyone's frustration when nobody figures out she could communicate through blinking ;)

ALGUIEN -
Thanks for the summary, NovelaMaven. The writers keep surprising us. Who thought Julian would actually get married to Piedad? But the honeymoon night isn't going so well, judging from Piedad's expression.
Despite the photo, and Matilde's possible recovery, I just don't think any evidence is going to do in Julian - he's going to have to be caught in the act and stopped. Of course, the writers are sure to surprise us, so who knows?
BTW, we think the police in this show are so dumb. But where I live, this guy is suing the City and the police. Why? He was publicly called "The Charles Village Rapist" or something like that by the police, and jailed for 14 months (10 months of which were AFTER the rapes kept happening, and also many months after all their DNA and forensic evidence came up negative!). They finally dropped all charges, and let him go. I don't think they ever caught the real criminal. Hmmm, makes one think, no?

@Erin - yeah this week we were treated to TWO very uncomfortable sexual encounters with Julian. The rabi Tati-Julian encounter was just gross! And then we have to suffer seeing Piedad look like she was about to throw up being in bed with Julian. But she still got in that bed!
Yep - the Piedad character takes willful blindness to new extremes.
We have one week to go, and a lot to wrap up. Expecting some extreme Piedad trauma, and it just a matter of how much she gets to experience terror at Julian's hands in person versus the evidence coming through to nab him.
Didn't Julian order a private plane at some point?

Audrey, Yes, Julián did order a private plane. We weren't sure if it was for a honeymoon getaway or just a getaway! I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

I was thinking that Julian ordered the private plane to get away while Matilde is having her operation.That way when she awakes and accuses him he will be far away
with Piedad and Sofia. But with the coming attractions, Im not so sure it will work that way. Really looking forward to Julian's downfall this week. Hopefully the writers wont's disappoint.

ALGUIEN-
So do you all think that Piedad is now certain (or just suspects) Julian is the killer and is playing him to try to make him confess?
So glad Benja finally remembered the whole Daniela/picture of Julian thing! Love the cops in disguise in the hospital keeping Matilde safe. :) Things are really starting to fall apart for Julian now. Yay!

Great question, Vivi:
So do you all think that Piedad is now certain (or just suspects) Julian is the killer and is playing him to try to make him confess?
I think that when Piedad had a glimpse of Julián with his mask off, she started to doubt him. At that point all the logical arguments came flooding back to her mind.
During her wedding night of terror, she does believe he's the killer; and if she's playing him, it's just to survive the night. But by the time she and Julián get back to his apartment, and the Good Julián is back in control, she is no longer sure. If she were, she'd run like hell and take Sofía with her. (Although that may be what she does tonight. I hope so -- I'd like to see her run right to the police and ask for protection. I do want her to get through this novela alive!)

ALGUIEN - I'm not watching this but I read the comments. Based on years of experience, I would predict that Piedad gets put in danger by Julian and Rodrigo saves her thus sealing their future relationship. But maybe this novela won't follow the normal pattern.
HEREDEROS - We plod along. Ines tells Miguel that Rosa and Emilio were lovers. Miguel runs to his lover, Sofia, and finds her kissing Gustavo. She manages to talk her way out of it by accusing Gustavo of attacking her. When Paula hears this, she knows that Sofia was lying and warns her about getting involved with the Del Monte's lawyer.
Gustavo tells Sofia that they have something that keeps them together. Could he be Paula's father as we have speculated before?
Julieta continues with her plan to hurt Juan, Pedro continues with his plan to win Julieta and Paula continues with her plan to get back with Juan. Juan's determination to reject Paula is clearly weakening though.
Johnny insists that Consuelo go back to school and Lucas tries to make up with Rosario.

HEREDEROS - Monday
I learned a new word, propasarse, which means make a pass at someone, or go too far (this was what Miguel told Julieta that Gustavo had done to Sofia).
Just as many of us are baffled as to why several of the guys are drawn to Paula (despite her dirty dealings), I'm having a hard time seeing why any women are drawn to Juan. I guess he's sort of handsome, but 1) he almost always wears his hat in the house, even at the breakfast table, 2) when he takes his hat off, his hair is a mess, 3) he rarely smiles, and has NO sense of humor and 4) he seems half asleep most of the time :)

ALGUIEN - Monday
What is wrong with Tatiana? All the other friends are working together with their evidence against Julian, and she (who had Julian violently choke her during sex) keeps saying that Julian is Mr. Clean???
It was fun to watch each person (Luisa, Prefecto, Benja, Rodrigo) go around the circle, throwing in pieces of evidence against Julian. But, as Angel said, it's all circumstantial, and they have to catch him in the act. Last night everything was bubbling up, and maybe tonight, the lid of the kettle will finally come off!
BTW, I still don't think Piedad is more than doubtful about Julian, and I don't think she was playing along with him. She's just "confundida", which happens a lot in these shows, and it's unlikely she'd be convinced unless someone hit her over the head with a 2X4 (which may just have to happen, given her stubbornness :)

Even though Guadalupe (a bit too saintly sometimes) got on her mother's case about it, I thoroughly enjoyed Inez telling Miguel that Rosa was one of the cast of thousands who slept with Emilio Del Monte.
For a change Amador rejected Lucas. This Lucas character changes so often it makes my head spin. I still can't figure out if he's over Paula and really feels something for Rosario or not.
Another SOS scene (same old sh!t) where Paula tells Juan that she knows he loves her madly. Yawn.
It looks like Pedro is making some inroads with Julieta. But I don't like the guy and hate to see him win her over, something that will likely happen.
Berta says she's leaving because they're all immoral but decides to overlook that for a big raise. Funny!

That scene of Julián making love to Piedad was stomach churning. You know it's Telemundo and not Univision, though. On that network, the villain never succeeds in bedding the female lead unless he drugs and rapes her (Fuego en la Sangre).
That scene between Piedad and Julián after they got out of bed was fabulous. Julián knew all too well that Piedad was not responding to him. He got very petulant after drinking a lot of champagne. He made a lot of mistakes: "Now that you're my wife, you have to hazme caso. I couldn't think of a good English translation for that.
I enjoyed the scene with Benja, Camila, Valeria, and Rodrigo doing a Sherlock/Watson adding up of the clues.
Fabiola scares me. She's egging Julián on to kill Piedad (which we all know won't happen, but still).
When Piedad came out of the bathroom she, very gently, told him that what he feels for her isn't love.
Yes, Tatiana is beyond annoying, continuing to stick up for Julián.
Julián's mask also dropped when he blew up about Emilio going to the hospital where his mother is having surgery.
The case is re-opened!!!! There are cops all over the hospital. So things look good for Mathilde. Julián looked completely stunned seeing Rodrigo and Carvajal there.

If I were Piedad I would have grabbed my daughter, and asked to be put in policy custody. There was no doubt last night as to how dangerous Julian is.
Herederos
Hombre what I see in Juan is his charisma, watch how he walks (although I am convinced he is suffering from possible back pain - I think that accounts for his blank stare). I think with Juan is more the possibility of what a bad boy he could really be, but in this novela I have to admit it has left me wanting. I want for a character to be like Cher in Moonstruck when she slapped Nicolas Cage and said to him "snap out of it". I wish someone would do that to Juan.

Nellie and Hombre, I'm chiming in on Cimarro (Juan). I have to side with Hombre. I agree 100% that the Juan character is completely lacking in a sense of humor - something that matters to me in the male of the species! And he always looks rumpled and sleepy. If he's really lusting for Paula, he's doing a good job of hiding it. Mostly he looks like he has an untreated bleeding ulcer!

HEREDEROS -
I'm with something Shallowgal commented earlier - I'd watch Cimarro read the phone book but that being said there is something weird about his performance in this novela. I'll give him a pass on sense of humor. That has to go on the writers' tab. It was reported in the press that he fainted on the set twice a couple of weeks ago. Supposedly, it was a migraine or something but it is strange. He does seem barely awake while everyone else is emoting away. And then there's the hat.
I'm with something Shallowgal commented earlier - I'd watch Cimarro read the phone book but that being said there is something weird about his performance in this novela.

I was very surprised they let Julian marry braindead didn't think the writers would let that happen. I thought for sure either Benja was going to show up and tell her about the one night stand he had with Tatiana or Tatiana would open up her mouth and spoil her moment of happiness. Rodrigo running to stop the wedding c'mon they do have taxis in Chicago don't they?
This is where that saying comes in you've made your own bed now lie in it comes in.That's exactly what happened to Braindead and i don't feel one ounce of sympathy for her. She knew good and well she couldn't feel any type of good intimate feelings towards Julian well before she said her i do.
You don't ignore not liking a man you're suppose to marry kissing you or holding you.Or the feeling or look of repulsion she's gotten from him in those moments. For her to try to expect a happy and settled married life was delusional. Says a lot about her characters mental make up also and the issues she has.
I'm not sure if they actually did it or not but Julian certainly picked up her less than enthusiastic response. We see her locking the door and listening to him on the other side being in terror.
It would be smart of her to play him and get back and get away from with Sofia but she doesn't think like that. It did seem like she was fooled into being sympathetic to him when he was crying and telling her how much he loves her.
I did enjoy Rodrigo,Benja, Camila and Valeria using their brains and figuring it out it was Julian using his step father's name to date Daniela. Glad Luisa convince perfecto to listen to them. Angel does have a point it is still circumstantial evidence at this point. But if they were living in Mexico Julian would be locked up already.
As for Benja this why i said he and Tatiana won't get back together his double standard. He can't forgive her for sleeping with Julian. But he expects her to forgive him for sleeping with Camila and Rocio? Then there's his hitting her and this is not the first time with him and violence with her either.
I don't believe this show is ending this week even though the Reina del Sur novela is starting next Monday. I believe before Donde Esta Elisa ended they dragged it out as long as they could. Since we still haven't seen anything saying when the Gran Final will be. They might cut up the rest of this novela into a half hour or 20 minutes and then start the Reina del Sur novela after it.

Blu- They for sure did it. Julian made sure he got his, then he bawled her out for not being responsive.
I almost forgot about that slap Julian delivered to Tati. I don't think I've ever been as shocked by a novela slap. I sucked in my breath in shock at the same time as Lola and Pedro Pablo. Wow! Yeah, he is totally machismo, like Tati described him-- the reason why she said he would never admit to Piedad what happened between Tati and Julian. His male ego has been bruised by Tati sleeping with anyone else but him, while it's ok for him to have slept with half the city and half her family.

Vivi i know i found his double standard too funny after he said that he couldn't forgive her.I was like what! You slept with her cousin and her sister are you for real? Never underestimate the power of the male ego sheesh!
As for Braindead being non responsive she was like that before he married her but he went right ahead and knowing that anyway.
I get the feeling that Tatiana sees Julian as the man she wished she had married instead of Benja that's why she is defending him he has all of the qualities she thinks she wants in a man reliable, honest hard working and not into drugs or a cheater. Problem with her logic he cheated on Braindead with her but she is not looking at it from that point of view.
Yeah that slap was a bit shocking and was just like Pedro Pablo and Lola too WTF?

Pedro goes to where Lucia is at surprising no fire department of negotiator is there yet to talk Loca Lucia down.
Julian changes his tactic realizing trying to get the Matilde's parents to turn on Rodrigo also isn't happening.he says he'll have Emilio come live with him now since they will be so focus on taking care of Matilde during her recuperation.
I see Julian thinking he can keep Matilde quiet as long as he has Emilio staying with him.Emilio burts this new plan of his by saying he wants to stay with his mother and that's it.
Pedro comes and tries to talk Lucia down and still no negotiator in Chicago? The baby is real cute though.
Rodrigo is calm down by Luisa who tells him to cool it as Benja talks to him and ask where is Valeria?Rodrigo tells him he sent her to talk to Braindead and convince her to leave Julian.

I can hardly WAIT for Rosa to find out what a snake her good friend Sofía is.
For a minute there I actually thought Rosa might really care about Miguel, not about appearances. But then she turns right around telling Sofía that she just wants the status quo.
Beatriz is driving me crazy. Episode after episode and she doesn't get it about José.
Paula does her smug thing again, telling Juan about Pedro and Julieta and gloating over Julieta. How are they ever going to redeem this female so she ends up with Cimarro?

ALGUIEN - TUESDAY
The police say they have to catch Julián in the act. Great. Let everyone be at risk so they can get an airtight case!
At least Julián got a good punch in the stomach when he tried to convince Rodrigo he'd had a wonderful honeymoon night with Piedad (NOT).
Julián appeared like a 7-year old telling Mathilde's parents that Rodrigo started it. I can't bear him when he's petulant.
You could see that it was a horrendous blow to Julián when Emilio would not go with him. He almost hit him, then had a flashback to himself as a child.
Tatiana was born with her foot in her mouth, apparently. She had to tell Julián that he needed to come with her and confront Rodrigo and the police. I think she'll survive, although they did leave us hanging with the heart-starting paddles again and again.
Amador said they had Julián's fingerprints on the knife he used on Tati. At last!
Whew! Pedro Pablo managed to outfox crazy Lucy and save her and the baby.
Rodrigo was right! If they'd listened to him, Tatiana wouldn't have been stabbed.
Looks like Piedad is going with Julián. She's not going to leave her baby.
This was a very exciting episode. I don't know what they're going to do for three more nights, but so far it's been a great ride. I trust they won't mess it up.

Thank you for excellent recap, I walked in when Tatiana was looking for Julian, and had to sit down with my coat on as I did not expect the next scene. What an interesting episode! 3 more nights, I can't believe it. Nice for Pedro Pablo finally coming out ahead of loca lucy! Benjamin seemed laid back compared to Rodrigo when they were told that Tatiana went looking for Julian, but since he lives in a different world with different standards (do as I say, not as I do), I was not surprised.

I'm totally with you on the dreary Beatriz situation. 'Good friend/advisor' Lupe should tell her to forget about Jose and concentrate on getting Efrain back or getting together with anyone but Jose.

ALGUIEN -- MARTES
yes, Novelera, it WAS a very exciting episode. Thanks for reprising so well the most important developments for us.
Another well-played magic trick: the audience is distracted watching the efforts to protect Matilde; while no one is looking, the killer claims his next victim.
Julián is now exposed. To everyone. The only questions that remain:
--how many people -- and which ones -- will he kill before he is taken down?
--Will he be taken dead or alive?
And less importantly, but still intriguing:
--Lucía (now seemingly in a full psychotic break) and the baby looked well-cared for even if she seemed to be wearing a hospital gown. Has she been institutionalized all along? If so, why wasn't the baby safe in foster care?

HEREDEROS -
I thought when Rosa had to serve Miguel and his friends (most of whom Rosa considers beneath her) beers, that was a dream. But it was real!
It was worth noting how Sofia said to Rosa something like, "when men are betrayed, they never forgive, they're so pigheaded. But women can just talk it out" (setting the stage for when Rosa finds out that Sofia has betrayed her).

ALGUIEN -
I liked when, right after Matilde's operation, Julian said, "I'm going to check on her now", and the doctor said "I'm surprised at you. You're a doctor, obviously you know you can't see the patient until she regains consciousness". Too bad, Julian!
We're not 100% sure of either of two situations. 1) It seemed that Tatiana did flat-line. They tried the paddles 3 times. But I agree, they could try again, and she could recover. We'll see. 2) We also didn't see the end of the rescue of Lucia and the baby. It looked as if Pedro Pablo grabbed the baby and the fireman grabbed Lucy, but it's possible, she'll break away. Not likely, but possible.
I agree that Piedad finally knows what's up with Julian (the blood stained cuff did it), and she has to go with him, since she can't protect her baby from him.
Julian just snapped with Tatiana. This time he didn't plan it, didn't bother putting on gloves, just couldn't take her anymore. I have to admit she has been a bit annoying lately, but of course no one deserves to be murdered for that!
I liked when, right after Matilde's operation, Julian said, "I'm going to check on her now", and the doctor said "I'm surprised at you. You're a doctor, obviously you know you can't see the patient until she regains consciousness". Too bad, Julian!
We're not 100% sure of either of two situations. 1) It seemed that Tatiana did flat-line. They tried the paddles 3 times. But I agree, they could try again, and she could recover. We'll see. 2) We also didn't see the end of the rescue of Lucia and the baby. It looked as if Pedro Pablo grabbed the baby and the fireman grabbed Lucy, but it's possible, she'll break away.

I'm pretty sure the gran final of El Fantasma de Elena was announced only 2 or 3 days before it happened, so there's still hope for Alguien finishing this Friday.

Although every novela is different, just for the record, ultimas semanas for Alguien started Jan. 10th, so if it ends this week, it was 7 weeks until the finale. I only say this so we don't get our hopes up too much next time they make that kind of "dramatic" announcement.

Hombre you're right i never saw this before about them doing it this way Ultimas Semanas for several weeks now two weeks of Capitulos Finales. I kept the TV on Telemundo after it went off and during the Decisiones episode commercial break they showed that it does end this Friday. usually we get a warning before it starts to say Gran Final. But at least they aren't chopping it up into little bit of pieces like they did Donde Estas Elisa.
I just hope Valeria doesn't try to do anything stupid to stop Julian now.

Alguien: You'd think they would be promoting the hell out of a nail-biting finale for this one - who will live? who will die? etc.
I don't think they even called the end of Fantasma a Gran Finale. As I recall, it just ended without any promos or anything.
Herederos: The last sentence of the first paragraph in my earlier post should have ended:
I can't wait to see what happens when Rosa finds out that Miguel is not the old guy who she thinks could never get any action on the side much less with a 'dama' like Sofia.

Jean they did give us a warning for when El Fantasma De Elena ended if i remember it was for a week or maybe more when they started to showing the Gran Final announcement. But it is a great point on this novela that they aren't calling more attention to this ending it's like they're treating it as not as good as it has been. I don't know what type of ratings it was getting but i would think it has to be doing well in the 10pm timeslot because it doesn't really have much competition other than American programs or cable shows. I don't know how many people who watch novelas would tune into watching the India novela on Telefutura.

I have seen an ATM promo announcing the Gran Finale for this friday the 25th. I won't tell you what the promos show because I know some people don't like to watch previews but it is on youtube.
I Tivo India and I think it has almost the same rating as ATM.

Rodrigo is impatient as he and Luisa wonder where Valeria is at he tried to call her one more time but no answer.The rest of the cops show up as Luisa gives out directions driving a restless Rodrigo more crazy with waiting he jumps into Luisa suv and takes off. As Luisa and the rest of the cops follow after him.
Matilde lays in bed as her doctor smiles at her. She moves her hands a little.
Back at the lair Julian tells Briandead from here on out she and Sofia are a total package he won't allow her to leave or abandon her baby like the others.what did you do?
What others ask Braindead? Julian rambles on how he was justified in what he did he's not a monster he insist to her as ghost of all his female victims before he killed Mauricio popped up in his head.
Finally Eva shows up dressed up as his mother asking him will he kill Braindead now? Why won't he kill her she taunts him as she baits him with killing Braindead. Julian's meltdown morphs into his mother abusing him as a little boy another memory of his abuse at his mother's hands.Briandead ask him what's the matter what happened with his mother as Julian loses it and tells her what his mother did to him day and night.
He comes back to reality from that memory as a cringing Braindead ask him why he explains that those women deserved it.Braindead ask what women and Julian gives her a list of names especially the ones she knew personally Rocio,Blanca Gordon and Eva.
Braindead is really frighten now as Julian tells how her how he enjoyed his victims screaming and the blood and fear in their eyes before they died. Briandead takes in all of this disclosure of what and truly Julian is.
The music was fantastic for this episode sounded like something from "The Omen" movies kept you on the edge of your seat.

Still can’t figure out if José is really interested in Paula or what. He tries to kiss her forcefully, but she rejects him totally.
Efraín thinks Beatriz was interested in José for his money, but of course that isn’t really it.
Juan offers Paula $7 million, overheard by Sofía, but we knew she’d turn it down.
Inez tells Eleuterio that she only ever loved him. He seems affected by this, but tries to brush it off.
Sofía seems to be playing her own game, trying to get the big bucks.
After catching Julieta and Pedro in some cabin (where the heck are all these cabins anyway?), Juan decides Julieta is a skank and that he won’t give her a penny.
There might be a warming trend in the household of Miguel and Rosa. She’s trying her best to win him over. Consuelo, however, let her have it about only yelling and fighting on her mother’s part.
Amador is caught by Efraín trying to steal money to pay off some bad guys he owes money to. It looks like Lucas wants to help.

Valeria is hanging out outside Julián’s apartment. Valeria, call someone!
Pedro Pablo saves the baby. He gives the child to Lola who coos over the niño and tells the crowd of reporters what a hero her husband is. We see Lucy being carted off screaming. Hopefully, a nice padded cell for a very long time awaits her.
En route in the car Julián pulls over, kisses Piedad, tells her there’s lots he wants to do with her (ugh, gross!) and then injects her to knock her out. Of course, he’s taking her to the murder cellar.
After she wakes up he gives her Sofía and tells her they are going to be here forever. And that he’s going to tell her how he really is. Uh oh.
Looks like Tatiana survived, and Camila donated blood.
Mathilde awakes and the prefect tells her Emilio is safe. She fingers Julián as El Cazador. Later she looks wonderingly at her hands – that she can move them. Very touching.
Valeria manages to give them an idea of where Julián is headed.
Rodrigo and Carvajal stop the car, but Rodrigo doesn’t like all the cops around, thinking Julián will see them and freak out. He takes the police car and drives off.
Julián tells Piedad there won’t be any more lies between them. He proceeds to tell her about how his mother’s abuse began. And that first night was when he first loved her, and first hated her. All the murdered ghosts show up and talk to him. Piedad figures out that he was killing his mother over and over when he killed these women. He tells her how they were the remedy. He felt peace, fear, pleasure, all these things. Piedad looks at him horrorstruck.

The men on this show are very good with babies. Pedro Pablo was so cute snuggling with his baby on the roof and then bringing him to Lola.
Even creepy Julian had Sofia happy and content in his murderous arms in the cellar of death.
Valeria is toast. She's even wearing 4 inch high heeled boots. She will not be able to get away from Julian. Oh well. We knew it would probably happen to leave the way clear for Peidad and Rod.

I am wondering with Julian saying Piedad is his salvation, if she will be the one to kill him? How else could she be his salvation? I also wondered if that was actually Valeria coming down the stairs, or was it Rodrigo, in tonight's previews? It could be my wishful thinking that if they saved Tatiana (I think), that Valeria will not be a victim. But Valeria picked the wrong moment to take the title of braindead from Piedad.

Well actually i knew she was a goner once she got out of that car. But then again maybe we are getting ahead of ourselves and he's only just stabbed her i don't want her to die. But that was stupid of her to get out and investigate in those type of boots.
Nellie haha Valeria taking the title of Braindead from Braindead that's funny. I guess we have to look upon this action of hers as her trying to save at least Rodrigo's daughter from Julian. I know for darn sure i wouldn't done that i would stayed in my car and got to the nearest phone to call Rodrigo and tell him where i'm at.

HEREDEROS - Wednesday
I think Inez also said that Don Emilio pursued her relentlessly, that she gave in, but didn't love him (only loved Eleuterio).
Sofia has a plan to convince Paula to take the $7 million (or more precisely, to get it for herself). I'm not mentioning the previews, except to say that tonight we may find out what that plan is.
I love every scene with Guadalupe. She's so different than she was in Munecas de la Mafia, where she played a tough daughter of a Mafia guy. A similarity, though, is that she adored her father, flawed as he was, in both shows.

I know it was part of Julian's twisted mind, but I enjoyed seeing all of his victims appear to him in their underwear. Sorry!
Luisa is better than most of the cops, but I agree with Rodrigo. She was just saying you go over here, you go over there, wait for instructions, etc. Rodrigo knew it was no time for waiting, it was time for action!
Of course Valeria should have gone to a neighbors' house, or a gas station, and called, giving a more precise location. Also, don't cell phones have GPS in them? I like her great description. "I'm on the Principal Highway, heading North". It's amazing they even know what CITY to look in. BTW, those high-heeled boots could be a hindrance in escaping, but if she uses the heels to kick, look out!

Wow,wow wow what a episode!
Valeria has the woman never seen any horror movies going into a place with high heels fashion boots you can barely walk straight in after a serial killer.
OMG she did surpass Braindead with that move, but to make matters worse she didn't find anyone at the house she goes into the garage and goes down the steps she could just listened to what Julian said and got the heck out of there.
No she had to be acting like she was one of Charlie's Angels. RIP Valeria we were quite fond of you while you were alive.
Well i guess Braindead has no doubts now about Julian being "El Cazador" . She still couldn't garner any sympathy from me no matter how terrorized she looked. Rodrigo kept warning and warning but she stubbornly refused to listen.
Rodrigo if your going to make pronouncements that you will kill Julian with your own hands please do a better job of defending yourself.
So Tomorrow is the Gran Final.

OMG she did surpass Braindead with that move, but to make matters worse she didn't find anyone at the house she goes into the garage and goes down the steps she could just listened to what Julian said and got the heck out of there.
No she had to be acting like she was one of Charlie's Angels. RIP Valeria we were quite fond of you while you were alive.
Well i guess Braindead has no doubts now about Julian being "El Cazador" . She still couldn't garner any sympathy from me no matter how terrorized she looked. Rodrigo kept warning and warning but she stubbornly refused to listen.
Rodrigo if your going to make pronouncements that you will kill Julian with your own hands please do a better job of defending yourself.
So Tomorrow is the Gran Final.

Wow, thank you for the recap, excellent as always and much appreciated. I liked reliving last night's episode, a truly unexpected turn of events. I had hoped Rodrigo would end up with Valeria. Totally wrong. One more episode to go, there seems to be a lot to wrap up. I wonder if we will see Matilde tell her son what his father is, or if there will be a Part II.

RIP Valeria. She put up a good fight (but of course should have never gone in). That scene with Julian throwing her across the room like a rag doll was so realistic looking. I was worried for the actress, because there was no way that was a stunt double (who else could they find that has that tall skinny build).
Rod should not have gone in either. But he should have at least called the cops and given them exact directions before doing so. His phone was still functioning, unlike Valeria's.
Dammit Piedad. Run!
I thought the memories Benja was having of Tati were really sweet. If she survives, I think he can forgive her for sleeping with Julian now (still hypocritical of him). I'm hoping that she does survive and that this near death incident is what it takes for her and Benja to be able to heal, forgive, and perhaps build something new.
Thanks for the quickie recap Blu.

I think the flashback that Valeria had of her conversation with Camila telling her that Rodrigo will always be in love with Braindead because she is the love of his life. I think it was a hint that Valeria was going to sacrifice herself to help get Braindead and baby Sofia away from Julian. Valiant move stupid but Valiant move by her.
Vivi i know that scene wasn't meant to be funny but it was the way Julian tossed her around like a rag doll. I did wonder if they used a stunt double because the actress who played Valeria is as skinny as a rake.
Can there be a reconciliation for Benja and Tatiana if she lives?I don't know after she caught him with Camila at the restaurant and threw it in his face that she slept with Julian i thought they were beyond the point of no return.
I will say this though if Tatiana does survive i think she has learned a valuable lesson about judging people and their supposed characters by what she sees.All throughout she has been very judgmental towards Rodrigo and his drug addiction instead of understanding and compassionate towards him.When it came to Julian she thought he was the perfect man to have as a husband smart good looking reliable perfect father. Now she realizes how fooled she was or at least i hope she does.

I was not surprised about Lola accepting Pedrito's hijo and ading them to their family. (I think I said so last week.) From the first moment, I saw Valeria I knew in the end Julian would kill her. Of course no surprise that Piedad and Rod will end up together. at some point, I thought that Matilde would
wind up with Dr. Gibson. He is young, single, gazes at her adoringly, and sometimes they play romantic music in the background of their scenes. So maybe! The one thing I have never been sure of is Tatiana and Benja. The writrs have been so good about making us think they'll reconcile and then maybe they won't. I am back to thinking they will. Benjamin has really grown and changed, as has Camila, who I think although she loves him would not want to take him away from Tatiana and kids. The only way Benja and Camila could now wind up together is if Tatiana dies. But I dont think she will, as the Dr. said it's up to her and her will to survive. We all know Tati's will and strength - which was both good and bad. In the end, she'll probably survive and she and Benja will get back together again. As Vivi pointed out, she will probably be changed by her experience.
Thanks everyone for a really interesting discussion. And thanks to those who offered summaries. This has been quite a show and quite a fun experience.

So is Paula the daughter of Emilio, or isn't she? Despite what Gustavo told her and Sofia told her, it seems pretty safe to assume she's not, and that she's actually Gustavo's daughter. But we don't know for sure.
I keep think Juan is getting worse and worse, meaner and meaner, and Paula is getting more an more human. Maybe they'll meet somewhere in the middle!

NJSue- I have also felt the romantic vibe from the beginning, each time Dr. Gibson looks at Matilde. I think he fell a little in love with her from the moment he first saw her. That would be a nice end for Matilde who has been through so much. I am not sure how they will explain to Emiliano that his father was a cold blooded serial killer. But even he has grown to appreciate his mother more and to not see his father as perfect. I still worry that that kid carries some defective evil gene like his dad and grandma...
Even if Tati and Benja don't end up in a romantic relationship/marriage again, I'm sure this experience will bring them back to at least being friends. And you're absolutely right that Tati will learn not to be so judgemental of people.
I couldn't believe Loca Luci's mom was shocked that they wanted to lock her hija away in a manicomio. Hello! She should have gotten her daughter mental help long ago.
I was happy to see Lola give Camila a maternal, caring hug right away at the hospital. The first time she has ever greeted Camila with anything but scorn.

Great recap and comments, everyone. I think it was hilarious how inept the police were in chasing Rodrigo. He got away, and he even found the hideout. They, who were checking "every single corner in the zone (or area)", as Prefecto told us, found zip.
Not only did Valeria try to knock out Julian, she also refused just to take the baby, trying (unsuccessfully) to save both the baby and Piedad. Also, by defying Julian, she confirmed that Piedad had nothing to do with Valeria, Rodrigo or the cops, which also helped to save Piedad a little. Valeria certainly was valient.
There's a telenovela "rule" which says that the good guys can't kill the bad guy. I'm not sure this is always true, but if so, neither Rod nor Piedad could kill Julian. He'd either get killed by the cops, or by "accident", such as falling off a cliff, going over a cliff in a car, staggering backwards and impaling himself on something, etc. Can't wait to see what happens!

That Gustavo is really something, telling Paula he'd never fake the DNA results, based on his stellar reputation as a lawyer. AS IF! He's playing every side against each other, lying to just about everyone. Hasn't that family ever heard of conflict of interest? How can Juan, Jose, Sofia, Paula, and maybe even Pedro and sometimes Julieta, think that Gustavo is working for (each of) them???

Hombre, I was thinking the same thing, to be precise: Keystone Kops watching all those police vehicles chasing Rodrigo, sirens blaring, helicopter blades going thwup-thwup. Good idea, guys, why not make a lot of noise that Julián can hear so he'll panic and kill Piedad and the baby. And then, as the final example of ineptitude, Rodrigo gets clean away.
At least Fiscal Jackass admitted what a botch he had made of the entire case.
At this point I don't want Julián to die, although he probably will. For me a much better ending for him would be in a secure nut house or prison (much more secure than the one Rod was in). He qualifies to be in one of those super-maxes where the guys are in their cells alone 23 hours a day. Of course, Julián would not be alone, he'd have the company of his victims from time to time.
He would suffer so much more from confinement. Death is too good for him.
Good catch, those of you who thought Dr. Gibson was interested in Mathilde. I didn't pick up on that.
I wonder if we will see Mathilde telling Emilio about his father. Frankly, I think the writers would be stumped coming up with dialog for that one. I don't think we'll see it. The kid is going to be devastated.
The killing of Valeria was the worst yet, extremely violent, extremely cruel. I think Piedad should have not been so cowardly and looked at her as she died. Some grateful look, some last forgiveness of previous bitchiness was in order.

Fabulous comments, everyone!
Vivi, although I've worried about the state of Emilio's soul in the past and whether he might be the next generation cazador, I felt that when he insisted on staying with his mother and refused to leave with Julián, that showed us which side he was on. Also, there was more and more insistence on the abuse Julián suffered as a little boy as the reason he became a monster. Fortunately, Emilio has never been exposed to an abusive environment. Although when he finds out the truth about his father... yikes.

Vivi i could not believe that Loca Lucia's mom didn't want or seemed shocked her daughter should be locked up. Which pretty much explains why Lucia got to that point in her mental health. It does seem that the doctor who was interviewing Lucia is not of the same mind like Lucia's mother.I felt this before about Lucia mother not really doing enough to help her daughter just hoping she come to her senses.
Great point about Lola's maternal hug and perhaps she has learned not to be so judgemental herself.
Hombre i will say that when it comes to self defense that hero has or can kill his enemy i saw it done in Tu o' Nadie with the main hero. Every once in awhile we get a exception to this rule.
Now as for who gets rid of Julian well it depends that Helicopter should have seen Julian's suv went they heard it flying overhead. Then there's Rodrigo hijacking Luisa's suv hopefully there's some type of lo-jack in order for the police to trace it's whereabouts.
It might come down to Braindead killing Julian now that would be ironic the one she defended with so much spirit turns out to be a sick and twisted serial killer and she's the only one capable of killing him. no telling when the cops will get there or what condition Rodrigo will be in.

I hope there aren't any serial killers watching this novela. Or maybe I do hope so. If they are watching, they'll all move to Chicago, making California safer for me. These cops couldn't manage a one-car funeral.

I've been sitting here reading all your comments, with a smile on my face. So many things come to light, I think all of you should stand up and give yourself a round of applause. I thought I saw the look of love on the doctor's face last night, but thought I was reading far too much into it. I thought with Julian pouring gasoline on Rodrigo, that Piedad would redeem herself come back running down the stairs and push Julian in as he lights the match and then say "you were right hon, I am your savior!", then snap her fingers and walk out.

I believe they saved Tatiana so she can learn her lesson and be happy with Benja. At least they will have their happy ending
Rod and Piedad might have a "happy" ending but I won't buy it.
Valeria's death was the saddest for me. She was so vulnerable and yet so brave (and foolish and suicidal, but still...)
I have seen many expections to the good guys don't kill rule. Santos Torrealba killed plenty of bad guys in La Tormenta and not necessarily in self defense, although always to defend someone else, but he seemed to enjoy it more than the regular telenovela heroes, Zorro killed Montero in the end (it was almost self defense, but hmmm it was tinted with revenge), good guy killed bad guy, and not in self defense in Ramona too, I dont remember the character's names. It was not self defense either.
I think the suggested scenario of Piedad killing Julian to save Rodrigo would fit well. It would redeem her at least a tiny bit.

Juan's being a real jerk to Julieta; it would serve him right if he were ousted by his brothers. From what I understand, turns out Paula is not bio child of Emilio.
How can Lucas claim to love Rosario, when just last week he wanted Paula? I'm glad though he's sorta jealous of Amador. Thus far, the only believable couple in love is Gaspar/Guadalupe.

Aeryn, I'm sure you're right about those novelas where the hero killed the main bad guy. I haven't been watching for that long, and hadn't seen any of those you listed. I do remember in Pasion, Ricardo killed a bunch of people, but he didn't kill the most evil guy, Lafont. He did poke his eye out, though, and Lafont also lost a leg somehow, but in the end, it was an executioner's axe that finished him off. Now THAT might teach Julian a lesson!

Totally agree with the foregoing comments on Gustavo; he's a real sleaze. There are so many conflicts of interest in this scenario he should be disbarred. I can't imagine what he expects to get out of all this.
Paula is beyond redemption and she's dragging all the brothers down with her (except Gaspar).
Sofia needs a few swift kicks as well.

Just saw your post about this.
You are not alone watching it! I saw most of the novela when it played here a few years ago, and was thrilled to see that it's on again. It's wonderful, and not just because the divine Martin Karpan is the star. I love the beautiful Colombian Spanish and the colorful barrio slang, the actors are darling, the story is funny and sometimes touching, I love seeing life in the Pension with the Pelaez family and their neighbors. It is one of my favorite novelas ever.
