Caray, Caray!

I am still having some heavy duty head spinning with all that went on tonight. So if this turns out to be a long one I apologize ahead of time. We have an entire years worth of events to cover so lets get right to it.


We left off with Victoria going nuts on Laurita. She is just about to slap her when Dan walks in grabbing her wrist telling her “don’t even think about it.”


Victoria doesn’t skip a beat when she instantly turns demure as Daniel asks her if she was going to hit his daughter. She tells Daniel that Laurita put a frog in her purse and it just about scared her to death. (If only we were so lucky.) Dan now with hands on his hips turns to Laurita and asks if it is true. Laurita denies it until Daniel sternly tells her to speak the truth. Laurita tells him yes but pointing to Victoria says “But she deserves it.” Dan tells her to stop trying to justify it. There are no excuses for what she did. He tells her that they need to have a serious talk about this. Laurita tries the old sad eyes “pappito routine” and Dan is not having any of this. He says her punishment is no TV for a month.

Laurita protests in vain, as Victoria standing with arms crossed looks at her and says “it is at least what you deserve.” Dan than turns to Victoria and tells her to never even think about touching a hair on his daughter’s head. Now Victoria starts to protest and starts shouting to Dan that this child needs discipline. She needs to start to respect people and something has to be done. He angrily tells her “You leave that up to me!!” Victoria shoots an ugly look at Dan and walks out. Dan and Laurita are left exchanging very hurt and said looks.

We quickly go over to Marcella’s where she is having diner with Deb. She tells her the Hispanic portion of the agency is going well, but what she is loosing sleep over is the new modeling agency. This is where she has invested what little money she had left into. Deb seems surprised because Marcella told her Bruno is quite smart and handsome. Renata enters and is treated very pleasantly by Deb but curtly dismissed by Marcella.

Victoria and Dan are now in “their bedroom.” She says “I am sorry my love, I lost my head but what she did scarred me. I didn’t even know what it was. I could have had a heart attack.” Daniel replies “Believe me, I understand, but there is no way I will permit you to hit my child!” Victoria turns to him and says “I am sorry to say this but all the concessions you allow her are causing her harm.” Dan looks at her surprised and says “What did you say?” Victoria now sitting on the bed tells him “You are turning her into a brat. Some one that enjoys hurting other people, and this isn’t good. Laurita is at the point where she needs discipline 24 hours a day. She needs professional people that will help turn her into an educated young women.”

Dan looking very frustrated says “And what is your solution? Would you have me send her away.” (He literally said “internarla” which means to send to an asylum. I think in Novela lingo it means boarding school.) Victoria says “Yes but I am not saying this for me but for her well being.” We see a very sad Laurita standing at the door hearing all that is being said.


Deb is now pumping Marcella for more information about Eva. Marcella is curious as to why Deb would be so interested. She tells Marcella so she could help her. She starts quizzing her more with feign disinterest. Marcella tells her Leo convinced her to give her a job and she is still repenting that move.

Sweet scene with Julio and his new found caring family. He is telling Eva that he is really touched that she considers her child his grandson. She tells him how could she think any other way when god put him in her path when her father died. She gently is stroking his hand and tells him her child will have the best grandfather in the world and he will teach him many things. Julio smiles with modesty and tells her he will value this child like crazy.

Deb is still trying to get information about Eva. “Parents, siblings, dates,” Marcella tells her she doesn’t know anything, but if she has parents they certainly would be thieves just like her. Deb looks pensive at hearing this. She asks how she could be a thieve and Marcella fills her in on her version of the truth. She falsified a check and robbed them and disappeared. Deb asks her how she found that out. Marcella tells her about the video and the pictures from the bank. Then she tells her that she had to dismiss the charges for reasons that she can’t talk about, but she is still a thief. Deb seems to be having a hard time believing this.

Fran goes looking for Marisol at the penthouse. Horacio tells him if you are looking for her she doesn’t live here. He tells him he knows. He wants to talk to him.

Laurita is still outside Daniels bedroom door and is crying as she hears Dan saying harshly to Victoria “I am sorry but I don’t want my child far away from me!!” Victoria tells him “You want to keep her close with out being responsible and let her do what ever she wants? If that is what you want for your daughter well go ahead. But I am telling you her behavior will end up making you very unhappy and will destroy our happiness.” Laurita is still at the door and crying harder.

Stalker alert. Alicia and Leo enter a car and become passionate with one another. Old Tony is in the bushes with a gun and murder on his mind. He stops short realizing that he really loves Alicia and can’t hurt her. He tells himself he has to be a lot smarter. Leo took Alicia away from him and now he has to find away to get revenge. (This kid just climbed up a few rungs from the bottom of the disgusting ladder and I wish him luck with this.)

Fran and Horacio are having a couple of drinks. He informs Fran that he can stop calling him Horacio. His name is Anibal. Fran chalks it up to more lies from Marisol. Anibal reminds him that he warned him about her. Fran laments about all the lies Marisol told him. Anibal tells him he lied to her as well. Fran says “Well that’s a different case.” What Fran really wants to know is the name of the cabaret where Marisol works. Horacio/Anibal tells him that is not the only thing she does there. Fran looks a bit surprised to hear this. Anibal tells him when he first saw him with her he thought he was one of her clients. He gives Fran the address.

Marisol and her friend Violet are discussing her woes in life. She asks her what she is doing there. She thought she would be in Europe. She tells her that plane never arrived and she fell from the cloud she was on. Violet asks her what happened. Did she get married? Marisol tells her she got married all right. Her dream turned into a nightmare. Violet begs for the scoop.

Fran and Horacio continue their chat. He wants to know why women are liars and he was so stupid to fall for it. Horacio then hands him the address where he can find Marisol to see for himself. He tells him to ask for Damien, the owner. He was the one who gave her the keys to his apartment. He tells Horacio as he takes the card “My mother was right. There is nothing worse than a blind man who doesn’t want to see.” Horacio adds “You only have to see her to know she is tramp” Fran is not pleased at this remark and tells him to leave the insults to him. Horacio starts to say well if you married a prostitute and Fran quickly cuts him off and tells him he is talking about his wife and this is his problem. He leaves in a huff.

Violet and Marisol continue their lament. She tells her friend the only reason she came to work tonight is because she can’t afford to loose her job. Violet tells her, “well you lost your millionaire but don’t tell me you were in love with him?” She tells her no, but he made her feel good and made her laugh, but she did not fall in love with him, as she wipes away a tear. Violet wants to know how long it will take to get rid of the sad face. Marisol tells her probably 15 or 30 days. Violet tells her not to waste so much time. She has an idea. Divorce him and forget about it.

This scene broke my heart. Laurita is sitting on her bed talking with Chico. She tells him that Victoria the witch may be right as she replays Victoria words to Daniel in her mind. She tells Chico that she doesn’t want her father to be unhappy. She doesn’t want him to suffer because of her.

Deb is telling Marcella that everything she has told her seems incredible, that Eva caused so much harm. Marcella tells her not only did she work in the house but she also had a room there. Only God knows what she did in that room. Marcella tells her if she dares to return she will end her because she is an ungrateful witch. Now Marcella is all revved up as she goes for a drink and fills Deb in on everything she did while she was there. “She messed with Daniel, she messed with Leo, she messed with Julio, and probably in her room. Who knows what all she did.” Deb now truly concerned stops Marcella and tells her she is worried about her tone. Marcella turns to her and tells her “My tone is the least part of what I feel for Eva. I hate her!! This tramp has a death sentence from me.”

Marisol is dancing and prancing at the pole but her heart isn’t in it. All the clients are complaining. She slowly starts to get into her routine and as she takes her jacket off and throws it into the crowd it lands on Fran. A fight ensues. I didn’t catch much of it. I am going to condense what I caught. Fran gets beat up, he yells that he is Marisol’s husband. Damian gets involved and Fran says with disgust he’s leaving. He saw what he came to see. Marisol is all bent out of shape and leaves as well.

Marcella is now all worked up and a bit crazed as she continues to drink and pleads with Deb to help her destroy Eva. She offers her a drink and Deb wisely declines and tells her it is late and she has to go. Marcella tells her she will walk her out and Deb tells her that isn’t necessary. Now pleading like a crazy woman she makes Deb promise she will help her destroy Eva. Deb quietly and calmly assures her she will as if she were reassuring a crazy woman.

They are interrupted by Renata telling Marcella she has a phone call from Victoria. She has a problem with Daniel and his child. Marcella quickly takes the phone and starts talking to Victoria as we see Deb grabbing her purse in the background and shaking her head in a combination of disgust and disbelieve.

Deb has snuck into Eva’s old room looking for a clue. She finds a small note book but realizes it has no information. Renata comes barging in ranting about Aurelia who can’t even close a door. She is startled to see Deb walking out of the closet asking her what she is doing there. She apologizes and tells her Marcella told her about Eva. She tells her she is there to look for clues so she can help Marcella find Eva. Renata tells her not to bother because she personally went over everything and Eva didn’t leave a single clue. Deb tells her she was told that Eva was awful. Renata repeats everything that Marcella just told her.
Deb still not quite believing all this looks at Renata and says “She talked about her as if she were a monster.” Renata gives a dead pan look back at her and says “She is.” Deb says “okay it’s probably best we don’t talk about this anymore” and takes her leave.

Eva is standing in front of a mirror talking to her unborn child. She looks quite elegant in a black dress with a white front panel as she rubs her stomach and tells her baby “ Baby inside here, even though it seems incredible, this ‘pancetta’ is your ‘casita’. (Is that like saying there is a bun in the oven?)



She goes on to say she would have liked for her father to have known her baby. And her mother. She starts to sniffle now as she says “what mother. You abandoned us. You left us. You didn’t teach me how to care. Nor feel love. Now all I feel is profound anger. The truth is now it isn’t important to me whether you are dead or alive. You caused me a lot of damage by abandoning us.” She is now sitting on the bed crying.

We see Deb leaving Marcella’s house. She is telling herself that this monster can’t possibly be her daughter. She hopes to God that this Eva that everyone hates can’t be her daughter.

Lame scenes of Leo and Alicia in bed. She can’t believe that she is with him. He feeds her some line. Then slyly asks her about Eva. Alicia assures him she has not heard form her.

Laurita is having a nightmare. She is standing next to a bandaged unconscious Daniel and weeping. Victoria is standing behind her and telling her he is dying and it is her fault because she isn’t obedient. Laurita is draping herself over Daniel telling him he can’t die. She wakes screaming that she doesn’t want him to die. The light is suddenly turned on and Victoria walks in. Laurita sits up and asks Victoria what she is doing there. She tells her she was walking by and heard her screams. She asks her if she is okay and if she had a bad dream. Laurita tells her yes. Victoria wants to know what kind of dream she had that would upset her so much. She tells her “That my papa was dying because I wouldn’t let him be happy with you.” Victoria “sweetly” sits down on her bed and says “My love this is exactly what could happen .” Laurita is now sobbing and says “I promise from now on I won’t cause any more problems. I swear it.” Victoria tells her to calm down. She continues “ This is fine but it won’t be enough to keep your father from suffering.” Laurita looking to Victoria for guidance (Gulp!!!) asks her what she should do. Victoria tells her “If you sincerely don’t want anything bad to happen to him and want him to be totally happy at my side you have to listen to me carefully. When I tell you something it is for your well being. It is so that we can all be happy. Do you understand my love?” Tears are following from Laurita’s eyes as she shakes her sad little head in agreement. Victoria continues “Everything will be fine but you have to do everything I tell you too.” We see our little brave heart sobbing and submissively shaking her head in agreement.

New day. Marcella is grabbing at her black glove saying “this damned glove won’t let me forget. It won’t let me get rid of my faults.” Then looking in the mirror she adds “but some faults are necessary We all have them. We all hide them in this manner. Daniels parents died because it was their destiny. I had to kill them and make it look like an accident.” Her insane babbling is interrupted by a knock on the door.

It is Renata carrying a small box with a bright red bow. She politely asks Marcella if she slept well. She growls back at her “Did you come to see me to wish me well?” Renata humbly replies no and tells her she came to give her a package. Marcella wants to know who sent it. Renata doesn’t have a clue. Marcella is now outraged as she snatches the box from Renata. She tells Renata she can go as she starts to open the package. She rips the paper off and then slowly opens the box. She gasps and steps back in a panic as she pulls out a small brown medicine bottle.


She looks at it in disbelief and pulls out a small card reads it out load “The poison that is missing form here are the doses that you gave Julio.” She stammers and stumbles and grabs onto the bed as she looks panic stricken.


Your going down Marcella!!!!!

Our happy little blended family is having breakfast. Victoria is asking Daniel if he is sure he feels well enough to go to work. Daniel assures her he is. Victoria smiling and looking at Laurita tells him she is glad because there is nothing better than to see him healthy. Then adds “Right Laurita?” Laurita docilely answers yes. Then she looks at Daniel and meekly says “Poppy I want to ask you something. I have been thinking and I decided I want to “go to boarding school.” Well that’s not the words she used exactly but that is what she meant. (I think) Daniel looks shocked but old Victoria looks pleased as punch and Laurita just looks defeated.

Marcella is now all freaked out as she stumbles around in her bedroom. She is muttering “They want me to go crazy again. I won’t go crazy again.” she is muttering and pulling at that glove and continues as she almost has it off “they won’t make you go crazy. I am stronger then they are. I am stronger than everyone. I can do this. Nothing is going to happen because I am the strongest. “ And our psychotic break down continues as Marcella screams loudly and we fade away.

More days have passed. We see Eva knitting something blue. We see sad little Laurita telling Adrian goodbye. Fran has returned to his job as chauffer as we see him waiting for Laurita. Adriane tells her not to forget about him. She tells him of course not he is her best friend. We get a sweet little hug as Fran is motioning for her to hurry up. Laurita walks away towards Fran leaving Adrian standing alone. We breifly see a women in the bushes.



(I missed this the first time around.) She quickly crouches and seems surprised to see Adrian standing there.


Marcella now at the office is handed a letter by her secretary. She opens it and we see Assassin spelled out in brightly colored letter. Marcella grabs at her desk to keep herself from falling as her panic envelopes her.

More days go by. We see young uniformed school girls in the fore ground as Daniel, Laurita and Victoria are greeted by a nun. Laurita has a suitcase. Daniel is gently stroking her hair as they hug. We see a smile across Victoria’s face.


Our next scene was a hanky bender as Laurita walks away with the nun and Daniel is woefully waving goodbye as his heart is breaking. Then we are left with Daniels sad face and evil smiling Victoria.


Our time continues to pass by quickly. Deb is congratulating Marcella on the successful Launching of the new Arismendi Modeling company. Victoria is tossing her tresses in her very blue dress as she smiles for the photographers. Marcella tells Deb that Bruno is the best thing that has happened to her in a very long time. Deb smiles and says “That’s the truth. He is one handsome smart man.” We see Bruno next to his cousin with champagne flute in hand and he smiles and waves to Marcella across the way. His cousin says to him, “every day we are taking more money away from Marcella.” He continues smiling and waving at Marcella as he tells his cousin “In a year and a half we will be able to retire.” Then he holds his glass up to a smiling Marcella. Daniel is standing alone shaking his head with a dubious look on his face.

More celebration as Justa cuts the wedding cake and Adrian claps with delight. The newly weds kiss as all look on with smiles.


Thomas breaks up the happy scene as he drags Adrian away. Ricardo attempts to go after them but is stopped by Justa. The happy scene has ended.

Tia Matilda is measuring Eva’s very pronounced stomach.


Daniel is sitting alone on the sofa remembering happier days with Eva. Our scenes are intertwined now with flash backs of Daniel and Eva on the beech and then with Eva standing alone by a tree looking quite pregnant.

Now we are in Daniel’s bedroom and Victoria is ragging at Daniel who is sitting on the bed. She is protesting that he would want to bring Laurita home. This will only hurt their marriage. She continues to nag and says she can’t take any more of this and a disgusted Daniel stands up and walks away from her then sits down on the sofa with hand to head as Victoria continues to nag. She brings up the frog story again saying she is going to go crazy with all the gross things that child has done to her.

Happier scene. Eva is on her bed surrounded by new baby things as Julio comes bursting in carting a lovely white baby carriage.


More forlorn Daniel scenes drinking and reminiscing about Eva and the night he gave her the engagement ring. He also is remembering looking at the pictures that Leo had.

Eva is giving birth and we hear her screams. We change quickly to Daniel who is in a car as he looks about and we hear his voice saying. “I can’t forget you Eva.” More labor screams from Eva and it’s a boy as Dr. Garcia holds him up for all to see.

Daniel is now alone on the sofa holding the ring he gave Eva. He is looking at it and asking himself why he still feels the need to see her. In walks Victoria and asks him what he is doing. He quickly closes the ring box and looks up at her trying to hide the box. She asks him what he has.

We are back with the new mama and proud aunt and “grandfather.” Eva is proudly holding the baby Dr. Garcia is remarking on the kids great sets of lungs. Tia is asking what she will name him. She imagines it will be her father’s name. Eva tells her no. She will name him Pablo. Then she tells Julio she doesn’t want Daniel to find out about him. Julio looks a bit bugged at this as he continues to coo at the baby and tells her to quit fussing about that.

Victoria now sits down beside Daniel and says “I asked you a question.” Daniel has placed the ring in a desk drawer and slides it shut. Victoria asks again what he was holding. Daniel tells her it is nothing important. Just a memory that people save for no reason. Victoria doesn’t seem to accepting of this answer, as Daniel asks her what she wanted. She tells him she was waiting for him. He apologizes and tells her he was just trying to disconnect from a few things. She tells him “And in the meantime I am left waiting for you?” Daniel appears broken as he tells her he isn’t up for any of her nagging. (I’m thinking that’s what he said.) Victoria than sweetly apologizes and tell him she didn’t mean to nag. She then “sweetly” says as long as you don’t try and disconnect from me. “ I am your wife and the only woman you should be thinking about.”

Marisol is at the stripper place and we see wads of cash stuffed in her “outfit.” Giorgio is asking her how the divorce is coming along. She tells him she is waiting to see what Fran is going to do. Giorgio says “Don’t tell me deep down you don’t really want to divorce him?” She tells him she isn’t going to deny the fact that she still loves him but their love is impossible.

Giorgio tells her nothing is impossible and to prove it to her he has brought her good news. He has her sit down. He asks her if she remembers the time she told him about her dreams to become a singer. She dismisses this and says that was another one of her dreams. He tells her this could become reality and to listen to him. He tells her he has made a few calls and has gotten her a very important interview for someone who arranges singers for concerts and fiesta’s and such. Marisol is very grateful and thanks him. He tells her not so fast you know how these things are but maybe this will be the beginning of good things for her. She smiles and calls him an angel. An angel in a suit (traje/ could also mean costume or suit.) but an angel none the less. They both smile and he tells her from now on he will do what ever he can to get her out of the stripper bar. She smiles at him and tells him if it wasn’t so complicated he could be the love of her life and gives him a sweet hug as they both laugh.


Morose Daniel is sitting on the bed and Jacky comes by. She says “You really miss Laurita a lot, right.” He tells her yes. She says she misses her too. He tells Jacky he will never understand why she asked him to send her to that school. Jacky tells him she believes she did it so that he could be happy with the Mrs. Daniel tells Jacky “If that is the reason she should have never left.” He continues saying, “every day that passes I realize that happiness will never happen.” And he walks sadly away.

Leo is chatting with Marcella. He asks her how things are going. She tells him good and then has him sit down. She asks him if he has heard anything from the detective regarding Eva. He tells her the idiot still hasn’t found her. She then asks if he was able to get any information out of Alicia. He tells her Eva hasn’t contacted Alicia. She wants to know if he is sure that Alicia isn’t lying to him. He assures her that Alicia is telling the truth and hasn’t had any contact with Eva. Marcella than asks where in the devil is that woman and when will she return. Leo tells her it is same thing he is wondering.

Victoria is kissing Daniel and he really doesn’t seem interested as he pulls her away. He tells her he is tired. She wants to know what is wrong. He seems really distanced. He tells her he has lots of things going on in his head. She feigns support as she tells him to tell her what’s bothering him. After all she is there to help him forget those things. She realizes however that recently all they do is argue (I think that’s what she said.) And they don’t have the perfect marriage but they could have it. Daniel asks her what she is referring to. She tells him she is willing to give him a son. Dan looks very spooked at this suggestion


She continues smiling and says “that‘s what we need to have a happy marriage and while we are trying, we can enjoy ourselves.” Daniel is just laying their like a dead log. Victoria goes in for a kiss and Dan stops her telling her he is very tired and all he wants to go to sleep. Victoria tells herself she will find a way to get pregnant by him. And the wheels of scheme are set in motion.

Leo asks Tony to be his personal assistant. Tony agrees. He figures this will be his great opportunity to get even with him for stealing Alicia.

Vanessa and Deb are chatting. She asks if she has heard any thing about her daughters. She tells her no but she feels she is very close to seeing them again. She doesn’t know how or when but she believes it will be very soon. Vanessa tells her she has heard it said many times that the voice of a mother’s heart is never wrong. Vanessa than asks her if she still thinks that Marcella’s Eva Gonzales is her Eva. Deb tells her, “I hope not. With all the atrocity’s she has heard about that Eva, she can’t imagine it would be her sweet child. It can’t be her.

Eva is leaving the hospital with her new baby. She tells Tia that her son will be her motivation. Her reason for living. Tia tells her she will always be at her side to help her. She tells Tia she wishes she could have shared this moment with Alicia. Tia smiles and tells her she will be very happy when she finds out. She tells Tia that very soon they will be together foe ever.

“Months later” we see a much bigger Pablo with Tia tending lovingly after him. We see Eva in front of the mirror again. Julio is on the phone talking to Diego. He tells him he hopes he wasn’t wrong in confiding his secret to him. He asks him if he understands how dangerous it would be if anyone found out he was still alive.

We see a young man in what looks like a huge private plane, telling Julio not to worry. He can trust him. He treasures him greatly and was very happy to hear he was alive. Julio thanks him for his understanding and for being his accomplice. He tells him he won’t be sorry. He will be well compensated. Then he says “And about Eva. I am sure it will be the event of the year. We see a shot of Eva with a towel around her head and lots of eye shadow.

Diego tells Julio it is him who should be thankful for being introduced to this beautiful women. He tells him he can be assured that he had his eyes on Eva when he first saw her as a seamstress at one of his shows. (Is this the guy way back when Victoria was modeling and Eva was helping out as a seamstress?)


He continues to tell Julio that Eva and her perfume will be the revelation of the year. Julio tells him “I know that for sure.” Diego says that Eva is a great discovery. Julio reminds him that absolute discretion is needed until the finale. He tells Julio not to worry about this. Julio tells him he wishes he could be there spying and to see everyone’s face when they see Eva again. Julio’s leaves us on that note with one of his million dollar smiles. And some pretty great previews.
