Eva Luna #74 Fri 2/18/11 Leo Lies to Dan; Eva Starts Cracking the Whip; and Jackie and Franc Get Together

Cap. #73


Confusion is the name of the game for Daniel in this next face down with Eva. Dan walks into Eva’s office unannounced and Eva rudely tells him to knock or be announced next time but he insists he’’s an associate and expects to speak freely whenever he needs to. He smarts off about then keep the door locked if you’re having a “private moment” in here. She says she’ll do whatever she feels like it and teases him about being jealous. He gets angry and asks if she’s waiting for him to kiss her (cave-man style or something, I guess). Eva teases him with a near kiss and he resists. She asks if she frightens him now because she’s not the same stupid fool of an Eva he knew before. He’s hurt and confused by her attitude --but as turned on as ever.

 

Dan gives her what for about leaving him waiting at the church and then fooling around with Leonardo while he was totally faithful to her, then forging signatures and running off with his money. She angrily denies it all and says he lied about her to make her look bad to the authorities and never deserved her love, but soon he’s going to pay dearly for all the hurt and harm he’s caused her! Dano asks what in the world she’s talking about. Doesn’t matter she says, but as far as she’s concerned the only guy who deserves her love is Leo! Just then Alicia bursts in and excuses herself. No problem, says Eva, Sr. Villanueva was just leaving.

 

Downstairs in Mad Marcela’s new cubby-hole of an office, Deborah’s there having to listen to Marci’s tirade about what low-lives Eva and Ali are. Deb gets muy uncomfortable but has to hold her tongue. Deb asks if Marci should have fired Ali. Marci screams at her for defending her, but Deb coolly covers her tracks and says the girl’s possibly the best make-up artist she has and it would be a major loss to the modeling division, is all. Marci warns her against betraying her and though Deb tries to calm her down, Marci just gets angrier and angrier. Marci won’t take suggestions about the business from ANYONE! She’s fed up with Deb’s control and good sense, she says, and kicks her out of her office.

Upstairs Dan leaves; Ali wonders what’s going on and if Eva’s still got the hots for Dan. Eva denies it and says she’s totally over him. Ali obviously thinks otherwise but she doesn’t dare say another word! She changes the subject to her getting fired by Marci. Eva plans to correct that error in Marci’s judgment!

At Don Julio’s Hide-away House, Dr. Garcia tells him that Justa is in fact alive and that Renata herself has now told him. Julio is surprised and upset that Ren lied to him all these years. He and the doctor decide she’s his only link to finding Justa now. DJ has something tricky in mind.

 

Dan goes to Leo’s office to discuss Eva. Leo puts him in his place hinting that the “relationhip” between Eva and Leo shouldn’t matter considering he’s a married man. Dan agrees, but says he knows the two of them discuss so many things that he wonders if he knows what in the world he could have done to make her hate him so much. Leo says he knows, but it’s not his place to say. Tuff nuts for Dano. Leo reminds him of the pictures he showed him of them in bed. How can he forget? Dan didn’t mention them yet to her because he wondered what she’d say if he threw the relationship in her face. (Bad choice cuz otherwise he might have actually gotten somewhere.) He says the shameless wench had the nerve to deny it all! Leo gets him to agree to keep those photos just between the two of them. He knows she deny it all, and that’s the only reason he took them, so he could prove their relationship to Dan. Dan is disgusted and says they are one in the same. Leo agrees with a chipper smile on his face. We are made for one another. Dan storms out of the office and Leo chalks up another win.

 

Eva visits Marci and tells her she can’t fire Ali. Marci says DJ didn’t put a dime into this business and so it’s hers to do with and to whom whatever she has a mind to! Eva says no, not really! Has she forgotten that after DJ’s death she had Arismendi, Inc. purchase the modelling agency? So therefore, the whole enchilada belongs to Eva! If Marci doesn’t take Ali back then Eva will shut down the modeling agency. Tuff Nuts for Marci!

That night Jackie visits Eva at her new mansion. Jackie asks if Eva still feels the same about Daniel, but she quickly denies it and asks Jackie to change the subject. They talk about Laurita and the way Victoria threatened and tricked her into asking her father to be sent away to boarding school. Ick-toria somehow made her believe that something bad would happen to her father if she didn’t accept her as her step-mother. Eva remembers back to the scene at the house when Laurita snuck over to visit and Icky came to take her back home. Eva says she’s sure she’s been manipulating Laurita and wants to visit her at the school.

 

Bimbutt de Icky, is giving hubby Dan back rubs and whatever after he’s admitted that Eva started throwing her weight around at the office. He’s bummed, but not about that--more about what Leo’s been feeding him. Icky thinks to herself that she’s got to get pregnant before he finds out that Eva’s child is his.

At the strip club, Damian tells Marisol that he read about her singing in the papers and threatens her the next time she misses working to do a thing like that again, he’ll cut her face and then fire her!

The next morning, Eva visits her fathers grave and cries about how much she misses him and his good advice. She is upset that Leo’s (tall) tales were the truth and Dan’s going to pay! FF>>

Bimbutt finds out she’s got an underdeveloped uterus and can’t carry a child. (Well, at least she doesn’t have to worry about losing the model figure of hers, so what’s she got to complain about?) There are other options, but Icky says the baby has to come from her body! No way that will be possible, says the doc. Icky goes home and has a tantrum in the bedroom over it. “Damn that Eva and that kid of hers!!”

At Justa’s, she and Don Ricardo find out from the police that there’s been a bulletin put out against Tomas. They’re going to the church to pray about it later. There’s a knock at the door. It’s Renata. She tells Justa she’s inherited DJ’s house in Mexico City and wants to share her inheritance with her. It would only be right. Justa suspects she’s only trying to clear her conscious after all the harm she’s done to Justa over the years. Ren swears it has nothing to do with that. Ren explains about the letter the doctor friend of Julio’s left for her after Julio saw her a few days before his death.. Justa’s not interested now that she has a new life with her new husband, Ric. The only link between her and Julio now is their daughter who she still wonders about. FF>>

 

At the motel, Tomas comes back with a bottle of booze and starts beating up on Adrian. He runs into the bathroom to escape him. Tomas stands banging on the door and somehow Adrian bangs the door open and it catches Tomas on the nose. Tomas falls backward and hits his head on the wall. He falls to the floor. Adrian sneaks out and see him on the floor, possibly dead. Unfortunately, he’s starting to stir. Adrian high-tails it out of the motel room.

Jackie and Francisco get ready for their date. FF>>

 

Deb and Eva come to terms on her new publicity campaign. She confides that Marci has been very openly negative in her remarks about Eva, but she has determined that none of what Marci says could possibly be true. It’s very apparent to her that Eva is in fact a very decent person. Eva admits that besides Ali, her Tia Mathilde, and her son, Pablito are all she has left of her family. Her father died in a terrible auto accident when he took her to show her some place. What about her mother? The woman deserted them when they were little and merits nothing from them. She confesses that because she has the same name as her mother, she treated her suspiciously at first and apologizes. She meant no disrespect. Deb asks if she might be mistaken about why her mother left. Eva says this is what her father told them and she has no reason to doubt what he said. She changes the conversation back to business and Deb tells her she’s impressed with her professionalism. Discussion over.

Mari admits to Giorgio that despite all the lies between her and Franc, she may very well want to get him back. FF>>

Eva has sent for Tony. She tells him she was surprised to see he works for the agency. He pretends not to remember the blackmail he tried on her the last time they spoke. She reminds him about his threats to harm Ali if she didn’t pay him $10,000. He tries to argue with her but she shuts him up immediately and fires him. “--Get your things and go down to get your severance check. You’re fired!” Leo hired him, he yells back, and only he can fire him! No, she says, I own all of this and I’m the one who can fire you. She has too many things going on with the business to have to worry about having a crook like him wandering about! He threatens to get even. She tells him to get out--out of her sight and her life!!

 

Tony slams the door and runs to Leo to complain. “--And that’s the way she is!” Leo wonders what he means that that’s the way Eva is. Tony leaves a few of the more truthful details out of his explanation that Eva never liked him dating her sister and they were always fighting over him going out with her. Leo is incensed to find out that Tony knew Eva and where she was the entire time he’d been hired to find her. Tony is forced to admit that he did and that he lied to Leo about it. He blames it on Ali, saying she asked him to be discreet and say nothing to anyone. Tony says well, by that time she’d gone and he really didn’t know where she’d gone. (He conveniently leaves out the part about tracking her down to the country house and blackmailing her.) Tony begs and says not to forget he knows all of Leo’s business and needs a confidant. Leo says fine, he’ll talk with Eva. In the meantime, Tony’s got to lay low and stay away from the agency and out of Eva’s sight.

 

Ali walks into Leo’s office after and starts trying to seduce him. He pushes her off and says they have to be more discreet around there, especially with Eva running things now. Ali’s honked off at him, but when it comes to Eva she says she has to admit that she can’t stop thinking about Leo anymore than Eva can stop thinking about Daniel. Leo asks what she means. Well, it’s so obvious that even tho’ Dan is married to his sister, he’s still in love with Eva and Eva with him, says Ali. Leo gets a taste of his own medicine possibly when Ali adds that the last time she went to see Eva, she and Daniel were standing so very, very close together..... Doesn’t take much for Leo to guess what that means and what he’s got to do.

Dr. Garcia calls Ren up and tells her to come over right away. He’s got something important to discuss. She’s on her way, she says.

Jackie and Franc spend time together and flirt with one another. She uses all her charms on him. He tries telling whoppers again. She reminds him he doesn’t have to. He agrees it’s more comfortable not having to lie. He moves in for The Kiss but Jackie dashes away. A bit later they discuss how this is the first time he feels fine being himself. She starts to share an apple with him. He starts to take a bit and then looks into her eyes. She’s looking into his and he forgets about the darned apple and they kiss. He pulls back, and seeing there’s no one else around, he lays the most sincere lip-lock on her that he’s ever given anybody. Jackie goes with the flow.

Bruno plans his strategy to bilk the last bit of money from Marci that he can. He enters her office. She is sopping drunk and tries to seduce him. He fights the gag attack and tries talking her out of drinking so much at the office. He figures he’s got her where he wants her, drunk as a skunk and easy to control. He tries to take her back to her place, but she talks him into going to his apartment.

 

Icky calls up Tony and arranges to meet with him to see how far he will go to make some quick cash.

 

Leo walks into Dan’s office for a chat. Dan’s not in the mood and tells him to leave. Leo says he’s not to blame for what’s eating at him and he’s got something important to tell him. Dan is looking like “what more stuff about Eva is he going to rub my nose in?” Leo says he knows he’s upset that he and Eva spend time together, and that Dan’s trying to be a good husband, but he’s afraid that Dan’s letting himself get carried away by the past and is thinking too much about Eva. As his happens, he and Eva were together a second time. Dan doesn’t believe him. Leo says, oh it’s true! That’s the reason he was allowed to continue to live in the mansion after Eva took it over. They spent that first night she was back together. Dan’s frown reaches the ground.

Renata arrives at the address Dr. G. gave her. She’s faint-away impactada when Julio appears and says he’s the one needing to speak with her.

Ick-toria and Tony meet at the bar. She asks him how much it will cost her to have him kill Eva. (Tony talks tough, but I don't think he's got what it takes to really murder.  Bimbutt's made the wrong choice, IMHO.)

Leo insists to Dan that he and Eva are very much in love and always have been. In fact, there’s a very strong link between them that she told him about just last night: that Eva’s child is Leo’s!

Jardinera--Is there a way you can bring the 15 comments from Gloria's post over here?

Meanwhile, we should just keep adding comments to hers, so we don't have them in two places.

Thanks for filling in Jardenera. You never cease to amaze me. You coverd everything.

Gloria I hope your migrane gets better.

I thought the little daydream that Jacky had regarding the LNP show was a hoot.
 

Jar, amiga, I am ITA with Pata...you never cease to amaze me!! how in the world you remembered all of this is simply amazing.

I had completely forgotten about Eva firing Tony. That is one thing that is still not clear to me. Did Leo tell him that he could stay employed or that he had to leave?

Also...Bimbutt using that weasel Tony to kill Eva...Dumb and Dumber...they couldn't make a finer pair!

Gracias por todo, Jar!!

Susanita
 

I would like to see the comments from Gloria's posts, is there some area they are being posted that I can't access? I haven't seen a post from a Friday in a couple of weeks.
 

Jardinera you are WONDERFUL. Gracias, gracias gracias

Time for Dano to see this baby?

Kalum
 

Did anyone catch what the avances said? They showed a bunch of clips, but I didn't understand what they were saying. I know in one of the avances, Dano was asking Eva about the paternity of Pablito. I think Eva will probably say Leonardo, but she probably won't be able to say it to his face.
 

Jardenera,

Thank you for posting this recap. Just wanted to add one small thing, it's when Eva was talking to Debra she said her family was Alicia, Tia Tilda,Pablito, and her father was killed in a accident.
 

Emarie, I tagged Glorias post so you can find it in the Eva Delious site. Gloria did not tag (label) it to the Experimental site so I can not add it there. I don't know how to edit someone elses recap. Jardinera, do you know how to label it so it shows on the experimental feeds?
 

Hi, y'all. Yes, I can bring over the comments from Gloria's notice by copy and pasting I guess. I will also check on the past two Friday recaps to see what's what and get that fixed as I'm sure it can be.
===========

MichelePA: Thanks! I will add Pablito in the mix. I heard it, but forgot to add.
 

Oh man, I know how that can be! Sometimes it just hits you. I don't often get headaches, but I do get a variety of other "don't feel well" bouts and I know how it is. So take it easy, get your rest, get better, and don't worry!

I am not going to do the full recap, but I will make some video clips because I still feel guilty for not doing any on my most recent recap.

Okay, I've got the clips made, and will put them up in the morning. Right now I'm having trouble logging onto the server for some reason.

In the meanwhile, I'll start off with a few of my impressions: Wow, poor Daniel! You can see the pain and confusion on his face when Eva accuses him of (what he doesn't know, because she OF COURSE won't tell him!). And then Leonardo, the complete snake, actually tells Daniel that HE'S the baby daddy of little Pablito? Oh my gosh, this guy has no shame.

Ouch! Headaches are horrible, so I hope you have plenty of meds for it.

As to the program, I can't imagine why Leo told Daniel. Doesn't he realize how much trouble he's causing for Icky?

Morning everyone. I too suffer from Migraines so I feel your pain Gloria. Especially with the weather changing like it is. I can't figure out why Don Julio would let Renata know he was alive. It sure does complicate things for sure.

=======================
We hope you feel better, Gloria. I know that migraines can be so difficult. You do need your rest.

Don J: I really liked it when he IMMEDIATELY knew that Renata had lied! yes! I'm just so glad that he has a friend and confidant in Dr. Garcia. I'm sure Don J has a super plan in mind to get that stinking Renata in line, tho I am surprised that he revealed himself to her. he's taking huge changes, but he must know that he has something huge to hold over her head.

Leo: dirty, filthy slime. At first, I thought Eva was on to his schemes, but she is blinded by him. Her little Spandex Sister will throw a wrench into the works and we know it will be because of slime.

BimButt: her now confirmed alliance with the lowest slime of all, Tony, is going to be sickening to watch. Tony is the lowest of the low...I hope he pays dearly for what he has done. If these writers see fit to redeem him, then they are smoking some serious stuff.

Bruno: I think he can take his game only a little bit further. Eva will figure him out immediately. Could someone remind me, but does Bruno have all of the $$$ he has taken from Cruella Marcella stashed away in a Swiss bank? I assume that it means that the money cannot be touched and is his free and clear? I'd like to see him get his...he is one smug Dirty Rat.

Pink Eye Shadow: Who knows...maybe this is the colour du jour, but it makes pale, pale Deborah look even more pale! Rather a tad too Twilight for me!

Oh Gloria,

I do hope you feel better soon, and it's ok about the recap, you just get better.

Leo needs to be run over by a truck!!! enough said.....

Daniel and Eva are stupid they believe anything Leo tells them. And again I say Eva's playing a dangerous game pitting those two men against each other, she's going to get burned in the end, if she's not careful. DJ told her three times not to trust Leo, and what does she continue too do!!!!! HELLO EVA.
I'm thinking DJ needs to hire a bodyguard for Pablito, b/c I think Leo, or the new dynamic duo (Vicky/Tony)will try to hurt him.

This is OT, but indirectly related to the TN. I reviewed again the programme that was aired right after STuD ended wherein the 'reporter' (I am blanking on her name) was interviewing Lucero and Colunga. At the very end, Colunga said how he was so happy to be doing the TN and how they provided fantasy and escape for the public.

I thought of his words this morning after reading of the shootings at the major tennis tournament in Acapulco.

As I watch the TN and see the location sites in Mexico and how absolutely beautiful and stunning they are it often seems in such marked contrast to the reality of things.

For such a beautiful culture to have to endure this brutality saddens me, but I am glad to have my TN and the kind people on this blog.

Thank you for allowing this sentimental fool this brief 'moment'.

Isnt the Tn being filmed in Miami?

I am totally lost without the recap. What was it Eva said to Daniel about the baby? And him to her?

Elvira--Don't worry about us. We can take care of ourselves once in a while. You take care of you!

How much more muddled can this baby-daddy situation get. Leonardo needs to be permanently referred to as Slime-ball Leo. He couldn't be any slimeyer that Friday night.

I do wonder about the long-term consequences of Julio revealing himself to Renata.

Based on the pace of this novela, the machinations keep coming at us at a fast pace, but the resolutions to immediate problems also move along quickly.

I hope the baby thing gets resolved quickly so that all Dano and Eva have to yell at each other about is the following:

E--How can I forgive and forget what you did to me.
D--What I did to you? What do you mean, what I did to you (god, she's gorgeous).
E--You know what I'm talking about (god, he's gorgeous).
D--No, I don't. What about what you did to me (it's those eyes that get me every time).
E--No, I don't know what you are talking about, you killer (Pablito has his eyes).
D--Killer? Killer? You kill me with your love.
E--I want to kill you with love.
D--Come here and try.
E--OK; oh, by the way, Pablito is your son, so we can now live happily ever after.

I'll try to come up with something in a bit here and would be grateful for any snapshots Elvira wants to post as well. Mine'll be super short (I hope). Feel free to add anything else missed.

I never could log onto my server, so here are the video clips I made, uploaded somewhere else. Same format, you probably won't notice the difference! Right click on links so they open into a new window.

"Calmate Daniel!" part one.

Calmate Daniel!" part two.

"Mentira!" plus Jacky's and Francisco's first kiss.

More mentiras from Leo plus avances.

I will comment on the episode and recap later, am just copying and pasting the clip links in. And remember, they are streaming Flash clips (like on YouTube) and if they stall during playback, wait a little while until they finish loading!

I haven't read the recap yet, will post again when I've done that.
 

Jardinera, as Pata and Susanita said you are amazing. Thanks so much for this recap.
 

Feel better Gloria, my prayers are with you.
Jardinera, thanks for the recap, and the help with finding the other postings, you are maravillosa! I loved your comment about Tomas, “Unfortunately, he’s starting to stir”. Renata was impactada, like she saw a ghost. Can’t wait for tonight to see how DJ handles her.
Michele, good point, why is Eva trusting Leo when DJ warned her about him?!!?
Susanita-right, the pink eye shadow just makes Deb look like she has an inflammation she should follow up with her medico.
Re: Colunga’s remark-he should have added, “and Spanish lessons for gringo’s”.
Una Norte-Love your dialogues!
You guys are the best! I would never have stuck with this without the snarky comments.
 

Emarie: You are right! If Colunga only knew how some of us gringos are learning his beautiful language!! Ha!

Re the pink eye shadow: I meant to say paler and not 'more pale'. My apologies to Merriam-Webster!!

Susanita
 

Jar--Thanks for all your hard work for us. You got it all here and Elvira, thanks for the links to pictures whenever we feel like looking at them!

Looking forward to tonight already. My withdrawl symptoms have been escalating since the recap was posted. I need an Eva-fix real soon.
Una Nte
 

Thank you for the great recap! You covered everything! I can hardly wait until tonight's episode. Wow, a lot of things happened.
 

You're all welcome! I had the time so it wasn't too bad. : ? )

Can't wait for tonight's shenanigans, either!
