Eva Luna #72 Tue 2/15/11 Eva the Magnificent Businesswoman
Eva Luna, Feb 15, 2011. Episode 71. Eva the Magnificent Businesswoman.
We start with a rewind scene between Tia Tilda and Deborah. The actress playing Tilda is doing a good performance, being really fired up and full of angry self-righteousness at what she considers to be the unfaithful wife of her brother. Deborah vehemently denies this, says that she told her husband everything and thought she had been forgiven but he took off with the kids anyway and she couldn't find them. Tilda ain't buying it and with slitted eyes, says that she ain't buying it.
Eva is at Daniel's house, talking to Daniel and the bruja comes in and is insulting Eva. Eva says that she can run this business because she's been trained and she's got talent. Icky keeps on going on about this is a farce, but Daniel interrupts and says like it or not Eva owns the company, so let her do what she's going to do. Eva then says that she's sick of trying to explain what she'll be able to do, so she'll just prove it to them, and see ya, I'm bored now. Off she goes.
Back to Deborah trying to appeal to a still-pissed Tilda about what really went down between Ismael (Eva & Alicia's dead dad, husband, and tia's brother) but Tilda is still unyielding. Deborah wants help with approaching the girls but Tilda says no way, and if you ever tell the girls who you are, I'll turn them against you for being such a bad and sucky mother. But after Deborah leaves, Tia tilde remembers how her brother said something to her that alluded that not all was clear on his end (like maybe he took the kids like Deborah said). Tilda says to herself that she's not going to tell the girls, though. Doesn't want his memory soiled.
Back to a screechy Icky harping on a weary Daniel about Eva. Basically it boils down to Icky saying she'll do "anything" to get rid of Eva, while Daniel is saying that whatever, we have to suck it up because Eva's the owner of the company. He questions what Icky means by "anything," wondering if she'll invent a theft to accuse Eva of. At this the bruja acts all offended, as if WHY ON EARTH would he think she'd do something like that? (cough cough) Daniel says that they have to attend Eva's presentation at the office, since they are shareholders. Icky doesn't want to but they gotta. Daniel looks miserable throughout this whole exchange, which gives Viewerville another opportunity to say, WE TOLD YOU SO, IDIOT. No one forced you to marry the bruja, IdiotMan.
I'll start condensing scenes because otherwise we'll be here all day. Throughout the first part of the episode Marcela, (who is a sloppy drunk, by the way), is lamenting all her bad luck and playing the victim. (Cry me a river!) She wants to kill Eva and seems rather fixed on the idea. Leo comes in to console and reason with her and comes up with the idea for him to marry Eva, and then they can bump her off and get all her dough. (I wonder about this. Does he really want to have her murdered or is he just saying that? We know he's a slimy skunk, but so far hasn't seemed to be the premeditated murderer type. But then again the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.) Marcela likes this idea and says that she's really good at weddings and funerals.
We have a whole distressing series of scenes between the useless dad of Adrian and poor Don Ricardo, Justa, and Adrian. Don Ricardo wants to call the police. Adrian is crying and doesn't want to be hit again because it hurts. Ricardo and Justa are arguing with the dad Tomas, who says don't waste your love and affection on a kid that doesn't deserve any. (This is awful! Can we all hope for a painful and miserable end for this waste of space?) Tomas pulls out a gun on them and takes the kid to who knows where. Ricardo wants to chase after them but Justa stops him, reminding him that because Tomas has a gun, the tragedy could be worse.
It looks like Stud Bruno and his cousin are kissin' cousins because all through their scenes together they are all over each other. They are talking about the money they've swiped from Marcela. The cousin is saying that now that Eva is owner, she'll probably get involved in the sister company (the modeling company) and then she'll uncover all of Bruno's tricks. Maybe they better quit while they're ahead. They've got enough money already. But Bruno is curious to what will happen next and is ambitious. The cousins end up with a un-cousinly kiss.
It's the big day and Eva, wearing killer heels, is arriving at the company. All the staff is waiting to greet her. Nice greetings all around. Eva says she's going to take Marcela's old office. Icky and Daniel have come up behind Eva and Icky protests and says that's her mom's office. Eva turns and looks with steely determination and days that now it's HER office.
After the break, we return to the scene. Eva is saying she's going to change a lot of things around here because she's the new owner, and that Icky better watch her words or she'll be out. Eva walks off with the assistant. Icky is in full whine mode about being "humiliated" in front of everyone and wants Danny to do something. He says that they've already talked about it and they've just got to suck it up. Icky wants to leave but Danny says he's got to attend, and Icky says, "have to or want to" (attend)? He says both. Off he goes.
Leo walks up to Icky and tells her they've got to be patient. Icky says petulantly that she wants Eva dead right away.
Renata is serving Queen Marcela at the mansion and they're talking about Eva's mysterious child. Nobody knows who the baby daddy is. (As if there's any doubt! LOL.)
Daniel's assistant is talking to Daniel about Eva. Amazing that she's now the president, the assistant says. Daniel says that at this meeting, she's got to impress all of us
Meanwhile, said president of company is giving herself a pep talk about how she can do it, and is looking up on the laptop all the stuff she needs to do. I have the best advisors (Don Julio) and I have a good memory, she reminds herself.
On the drive home, Icky is kvetching about Eva and has a sympathetic ear in scumbag Tony, who is the chofer. Tony's and Icky's scene continues throughout the episode with them agreeing to work together to destroy Eva. She has him take her to a restaurant for drinks so they can talk and conspire.
Tony explains that he doesn't like Eva either, and even brags about how he bamboozled a poor befuddled Daniel by telling him that Eva and Alicia were scam artists who got jobs at rich houses in order to seduce and then rob the men, which of course Daniel totally bought. Icky is quite impressed at Tony for doing this. Ewww. He talks about the "grand potential" their "partnership" has as Icky smiles.
Eva's getting ready for the big meeting and has her assistant take in some papers to the meeting room. Leo comes in to congratulate her and slime all over her.
Now is the big moment and Eva walks into the boardroom as Daniel wanders stiffly around, casting furtive glances at Eva as everyone gets to their seats in preparation for the meeting. Eva is not unaware of Daniel's presence there either, as they both steal glances at each other.
It looks like the meeting with Eva is going well. Even Daniel looks impressed, though Giorgio is fiddling with his phone or Blackberry throughout. Afterwards, she is congratulated by various parts of the staff for her awesome presentation.
Giorgio and Bruno have a conversation about her as she is talking with the other staff. Bruno is really impressed but Giorgio is being a bit pissy, saying that words are one thing but actions are another. Both agree, however, that Eva has had great advisors.
An impactado Daniel goes back to his office and thought-bubbles to himself—how is he going to work with her? "How did you become like this?" he thinks and then thinks, "She is spectacular."
Francisco is trying to shine up to Jacky, offering her a bouquet of flowers. Her first thought is what does he want?
Marisol's coworker (can't remember her name) is visiting Marisol at the pension and they are talking about what's going on with the whole Marisol/Francisco mess. She tells how Francisco wanted to give their relationship a go, but she didn't want to because she's so unworthy after the life she's led. The friend accuses Marisol of being in love with Francisco. (There is probably more to this that I missed.)
Francisco is trying to convince Jacky that he can direct his affections towards her, it appears. Jacky seems disconcerted by this.
Leo praises Eva for her awesome presentation. He wants to take her to eat but at first she says she's too busy, but finally agrees to a quick lunch. Leo says that he'll be looking out for her interests.
Tia Tilda is looking after Eva's baby and thought-bubbling to herself that Eva and Alicia can never know what her brother (Ismael) REALLY did.
Eva asks Leo, how can he not hate her? Doesn't he hate her after she inherited everything instead of Don Julio's kids? He explains that he doesn't want to talk about what went on between him and his dad, but that she should not doubt his loyalty. (There was more there but I missed it.) They are deep in conversation as Daniel barges in, sees how close they are to each other, and Daniel looks a tad . . . jealous!
The CCs were a bit funky here, but Daniel makes some snarky sarcastic comment about sorry to . . . interrupt them. Eva says that he did interrupt, and to have Olga announce him first next time? (?) She assumes he had a problem with her presentation, but instead, Daniel tells her how awesome she was, how surprised he was, and what a great job she did. Eva looks quite touched and shocked by this, it was not what she expected you can tell, and you can see some of the "old" Eva here, because she seems quite affected and moved by Daniel's approval.
We cut to Deborah and the friend/employee that exists only to be able to ask Deborah questions about how things are going in the search for Eva and Alicia. Deborah tells the friend that things are rough because she can't prove that she didn't abandon her daughters.
Eva now gets back to her new self, all haughty, and says that she assumes then that Daniel won't have any problem taking "orders" from her? Daniel now gets a bit ruffled and says that they're associates, and as such he doesn't take "orders" and further, he asks her, is this going to be her attitude all the time?
She says yes, and ESPECIALLY with him! Daniel then says, what is this, as far as I know, I'm the one who should be the offended party here! At this point Leo interrupts and says that they need to calm down and not have this personal discussion right now. Daniel says yeah, you're right, it's a PERSONAL discussion, so why don't you just trot on off and leave Eva and I to have our PERSONAL conversation. Daniel starts to move in closer to Eva as he says this. But Eva stops him and says she's off to have a meal with Leo and they'll continue this discussion when she's ready. They leave Daniel looking thwarted and jealous.
More with Deborah telling the friend/employee who only exists to ask about Deborah's daughters. Deborah says that Ismael also deceived Tilda and convinced her that Deborah abandoned the kids.
Alicia is hanging out with some models or whatever and they're trilling on about the new owner Eva, as Alicia listens in.
Don Ricardo was just out looking for Tomas and Adrian, but came up with nothing. He says that they need to go to the police now. If they do nothing and something bad happens to Adrian, how will they feel?
Icky visits her toxic mom and explains that she didn't attend the meeting because she couldn't bear to be there with Eva. Marcela says that Giorgio called her and gave her a rundown of all that happened at the meeting. Then Icky asks how come Marcela dropped the charges against Eva.
A little scene between Tia Tilda and Eva, as they fuss over little Pablito in his crib. Something about Tia wanting to fix the food, even though that's Renata's job. Tia says that the less she has to deal with Renata, the better because she doesn't like her. (Gee, I wonder why? And I ask the obvious—why on earth would they trust ANYONE on the existing staff with the preparation of their food? Seriously. Let's think about this.)
Marcela explains that she was basically blackmailed into dropping the charges against Eva because if she didn't do it, she wouldn't get any of her money from the bank after Julio's death. Icky wonders how come Julio would do that. Marcela manages to keep a straight face as she says she has "no idea."
Eva's at the mansion and Leo slimes up and starts in with more of his claims of undying "support." She thanks him again. Then he starts in with the big romance campaign, telling her he's glad that the "woman he loves is back in his life." Eva's face falls a little bit and you can tell she's thinking, "oh no."
Francisco is having a little chat over drinks with Danny the Idiot Man. Danny dejectedly says, "You should have seen her. She was beautiful." Francisco says (with too much cheer) that Eva was always beautiful. Then he presumes to ask Daniel—are you still in love with her?
Eva gives Leo the "let's just be friends" speech. He asks that she maybe give him a chance but she says she hasn't time in her life for that.
Back to Danny and Francisco and Danny the Idiot Man is basically admitting that yeah, he still loves her. He says he realized it after he burned with jealousy seeing her with Leo at the office. "The more I try to hate her, the more I realize I'm in love" he says, defeated.
Justa and Don Ricardo go to the police station to report the abuse of a child. Meanwhile we see Tomas and Adrian staying at what looks like some sort of flop house. Tomas is making Adrian stand in the corner with his arms raised, as some sort of punishment. Tomas mocks Adrian for his love for Justa and Ricardo, while Adrian dejectedly explains that they just look after him and love him. "Shut up or I'll break your mouth!" Tomas threatens.
Don Ricardo and Justa explain to the police detective (the same guy who took the complaint against Eva and her supposed "thieving") what's going on with poor Adrian and the useless dad.
Leo is still trying to put the moves on Eva, telling her that he wants her for his wife and then reminding her that her kid needs a father figure. Eva says that yes, eventually she'll need to give the child a father influence, but not right now. Then Leo asks her—who is the father of the child? Eva admits (stupidly, I think!) that who else could it be but Daniel? All the while, the Bruja Icky is listening in.
END OF EPISODE!
(Edit: I can't remember if it was this episode or the previous episode, but doesn't Marcela thoughtbubble to herself at some point that she's going to poison Eva the same way she did with Julio? Another reason for Eva's family to do all their own food preparation.)
Lo siento, no video clips this time, but here are the screencaps!
This screencap pretty much sums up Daniel's and Icky's marriage. She shrieks at him and he tolerates it, looking miserable. But, might I remind you, Danny aka Idiot Man, you brought this upon yourself and therefore richly deserve it.
FROM THE AVANCES: Eva taunts Daniel and asks if he's jealous (of Leo courting her). Do you think he is? LOL

Daniel is jealous, no doubt! He is looking a bit run down. I know he just had a birthday (in real life) just a few days ago, but the stress is aging him fast. Guy is still a handsome galan, so I'm wondering if they are not applying much make up on him just to make him look tired and stressed.
I'm worried about the Tony and Victoria connection.. those two are up to no good... I'm predicting she'll get pregnant from Tony, haha..
Do any of you think Alicia could be pregnant too with Leonardo's baby?

Rossana - perish the thought. Those poor kiddies!
I feel like I'm listening to the repeated dialogue from Llena watching Eva right now: poor galan who hasn't a clue what he did, and the "heroine" who won't just come out and tell him for x-amount of episodes.

Can't wait for the recap. I hope Dano lays a big ol' smooch on Eva tonight.
Glad that Ricardo and Justa finally went to the authories about Tomasa. Long overdue!!
Ugh, Tony is such a scumbag. Too many scumbags on this show... Eva is going to need a lot of help. I hope she finds out about Leo soon!!
Giorgio was so disrespectful during Eva's presentation yesterday, basically playing on his phone the whole time. I was waiting for Eva to call him out. I don't get the anger from him. I don't get why he's that loyal to Marci?

Dong,I'm with you.. I hope they kiss tonight, the sexual tension between those two is killing me.. it needs to be released, because it's affecting me too, lol
About Giorgio, I have a love/hate relationship with him right now.. I love him when he is helping Marisol, and hate him when he is with Marcela, ugh!
So glad Justa and Ricardo finally went to the popo about adriancito..gee, it was about time!
`Rossana~

Why was Giorgio at the presentation at all? Isn't he just Marcela's assistant? So he just showed up to see if he would need to be Eva's assistant now? why was he there? Does he attend the board meetings on regular basis? Or does he hold a position in the new model agency company?
Nope,
JoJo is just Marcie little RAT like Reneta is her DOG, faithful to the end, no matter if she's right or wrong.
ITA Eva is going to need a lot of help. And yes someone needs to blow Leo's cover and let her (Eva) see who he really is.
Tony & Icky-Vicky NOT she'll get Bruno to do the job on her. Tony is too far down the chain for her to get involved with.

So I've been lurking on this site for about 2 1/2 years now. I feel kind of guilty for never commenting and saying thanks to all of you guys for all of your hard work.
I've been watching novelas since I was 3. It's totally not the type of program a kid should watch, but that's how I learned my Spanish. Sadly.
I began disliking Spanish soap operas as I grew older. I felt as if I was reading the same 3 books over and over and the only thing different where the names, but then I stumbled upon this awesome site. You wonderful people have made me love watching novelas again.
This site has provided humor in my life and now that I started college, this site is the only way I can keep up with novelas.
So thank you all so much!

There's already a history of Bruno sleazing on Vicky, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't swerve us and have Tony somehow end up doing the deed with her (depending on how long this show is, since a third pregnancy probably would drag on a bit). And hey--at least with Tony Vicky wouldn't have to worry about a slime trail.
And while I was glad to finally see Ricardo and Justa doing the right thing for Adrian: at this point I'm just waiting for someone to accidentally taze Tomas. Preferably in a sensitive area.

Any idea on how long this novela is going to be? I've heard that its supposed to end in March? But didn't someone post a few weeks ago that they just finished shooting capitulo 204 or something like that?

Dong,
Yes someone did post that they were 14 weeks ahead maybe last week. So my guess is maybe middle of May?

Guess we're taking up where we left off on Monday's episode...
Giorgio is Marcela's hound dog, but he apparently has an important position in the firm. Yesterday's meeting seemed to be with all the employees (not that many it seems, including the sextretaries).
Oooh the possibilities of Alicia being pregnant with Leo's child. But I don't think Leo will want to get burned twice--he came close to losing his "freedom" with Claw. Actually, Leo could help Vick out without it being a sin. My money is on Bruno, too, Michele.
Dong and Rossana--Dano wants to kiss Eva, but he'll probably get a big smack on the cheek, like he's gotten used to from Eva. She's going to tell him to back off--he's c.a.s.a.d.o--and to watch it or he's going to be served with a sexual harassment suit. (personally, I want the kiss, too)
Welcome Arinayed--it's always fun to have more commenters.

The recap is up! Sorry but no video clips this time. I'm running far too behind! I'm sorry about that!
I agree about the sexual tension. I expect at LEAST a slap on the face tonight. But if there is some noisy kissing, that would be a bonus! LOL.

wow! did anyone realize we had a whole ep without Don Julio?
ITA, Laurita needs to have more time to make her dad see the light...

Elvira,
Thanks for a action pack recapp. Boy was Dano forgetting he has a wife, with him saying how beautiful and awesome Eva is.
Yikes Tony and Vicky partnering up.
Did I imagine it but when Eva walked past Dano in the conference room he sucked in his stomach and puff out his chest. LOL she could have care less b/c she turned the front part of her body towards the conference room at large.
HOLY SNAP BATMAN!!!!, Marcie now knows about the baby, and you can bet the farm that Icky-Vicky is going to run and tell her it's Dano's. ITA I wouldn't want Reneta fixing my food or drink, let alone fixing anything for the baby.
I see Alicia's little jealousy bug has been planted, wondering how long it will take before it eats her alive?
OH Eva, Eva :( you really are stupid to tell Leo who the baby's father is. Did she not notice that Leo didn't blink or get a look of wonder on his slimey face. That's b/c he already knew who the father was. I hope DJ gives her a good what for. Someone tell me that Leo is NOT going to turn this girls head, by telling her she beautiful my goodness she already knew she was beautiful. Yuck!! Leo and his music make me to throw something, hard and heavy at him.
So who's going to KILL Tomas? maybe he'll run over by a Mac-Truck trying to peddle his wares.

Thanks for the recap Elvira. ITA w/you on so many matters. Why is Renata in the house let alone serving food? Knowing that Marci tried to kill DJ, why would you allow her to stay in your house (unless you had guards posted 24/7)? Yes, Eva was stupid to tell Leo about Pablo (with Icky the witch listening). I know it's all great set up for what a plethora of disasters.
Bill C and Michelle - Tomas can get tazed but ideally will somehow be part of Marci's body count (or killed by another wretched character.
Welcome, Arinayed!

How come Eva can remember "all" that she thinks Dano did to her, but there is never a replay of when Don Julio warned her about Leoslime? How can she forget all those who told her "that can't be true about Dano, do you really believe that?", but then no reminder about Leo. Has it been explained why Wicked Witch 1 is still living at the mansion? Why is it Wicked Witch II happens to listen in on conversations and Eva never gets to complete one (Laurita trying to tell her her Dad did not file charges). The sexual tension between the two is spot on.

Elvira, Great recap!! Thank you so much.
I had such a hard time watching all the Thomas and Adrian scenes. I have never watched a serious TN before this one and was wondering if other TNs had child abuse scenarios like the one with Adrian and Thomas. It is just so hard to watch.
Eva better watch her back now that Leo knows about Paublito. Hope we have Laurita and Julio scenes tonight.
Thanks again Elvira. Always look forward to your recaps.

Elvira: Thanks for the great recap! Some great snark! Leo leaving a slime trail was a great visual!!
============
Bill C/Arinayed: Welcome! Always glad to see new bloggers on here! Had to LOL! about tazing Tomas.
==========
I thought Eva telling Leo about the baby being Dan's was STUPID!
Of course, having Marci stay there is also STUPID! I guess it has to be part of Julio's plan somehow, because they both know how dangerous she is.

Don Julio was definitely in the previews for tonight. I think Eva goes to tell him how her presentation went. She brings Pablito with her to visit his "grandpa". You see Pablito standing up against a sofa.

Thank you, Elvira, for another fabulous recap!
I HATE Leonardo...he IS so slimey and I still hate the way he talks and how he is hanging on to Eva...she is way to trusting of the wrong people. Why in the WORLD would she tell Leo about Pablito´s father. I hope she can´t stand him as much as the rest of us. This is a time bomb just ticking to go off. With Tony involved in all of this, I really hope that Pablito is too old to get kidnapped. Personally, I think that Eva does not feel comfortable in her own skin...or clothes..and I loved the line about her shoes killing her. That was a very refreshing touch of humaness. She seems very stilted when she tries to talk with authority. Did Don Julio give her all the ideas that she presented at the meeting or are they hers? Has anyone figured that out? Maybe they are her own and both daughters have inherited her talent.
All in all, I have an uneasy feeling about what is going to occur! but hopefully it will all work out. I feel badly for Daniel.
Anyway, SSoSTD!

I surely enjoy this telenovela and the recaps (when I get a minute to read them!) Thank you to those of you who take the time to keep us filled in on what's happening! I wish I had more time to read them and participate in the conversations.
I do have a quick question that has been bothering me since Eva's big entrance on Friday evening: why is she now going by the name Eva Luna and not Eva Gonzalez? Somehow I didn't pick up on the reasoning. Perhaps that has already been discussed here as well, but I didn't see that either. So, if anyone has an explanation, I'd sure like to know.
Also, I'm curious about the name Luna. I remember a few years ago having a student from Mexico who sometimes went by one last name and sometimes with the last name "Luna."

If I didn't say it earlier, Elvira, todo fue un exito. Thank you for the great recap.
Deb--The name Eva Luna. I had the same question many episodes back on why the novela was called Eva Luna when the protagonista's name was Eva Gonzalez. I thought it might have something to do with the fact that Daniel first kissed her under a full moon. But apparently no one knew at the time.
Now we can only guess that Don Julio and Diego cooked up the name, maybe with Eva's input, to name the new fragrance line they were introducing. Eva gave a little speech on the runway saying she was taking the name of the fragrance for her own from now on (since she is supposed to be the face behind the product). She went on that she had an affinity for what it represented to all women.
Her former patrones still insist she is a Gonzalez.

Una N - thanks for the answer. I do recall Eva saying she was taking the name of the fragrance. Perhaps the fragrance just happened to be named Eva Luna and it was convenient for her to just take on that name since she already had the first name. Or, as you say, perhaps Don Julio and Diego came up with it. Thanks again for your thoughts!

Thanks for the recap. I like to say I'm really mad on this writer. Why after all happened he/she is making Eva so stupid? I'm disappointed she is so irresponsible toward her family. How she can allow Marcela and Renata to live there? How she can allow Renata to take care about their food? Why she is not scared about her baby? Only one stupid person will allow it. Why Julio is not telling her what to do? I think real Eva never will act like that. This writer throws away her intelligence. That is what made me mad.
