Eva Luna #97 Wed 3/23/11 Curious George gets an earful
Dan and Laurita are at the pension door looking for Adrian. Julio overhears and decides it is best he sneak out the back door. He is thwarted by Ricardo who has something very important to tell him. Dan has just rounded the corner and sees Julio from the back. Julio turns around and Dan gets bug eyed. Julio quickly
Introduces himself to Dan as Vincenta Olmos. He says “excuse me, see you later” and hustles out the door. Ricardo seems quite confused and Dan quickly hustles out after Julio. A stunned Ricardo is left staring at the closed door when Justa appears to drag him of to the kitchen.
Alicia tells the Dr. she knew she was pregnant. After all with all the vomiting and feeling strange and such.
The Dr. tells her she is two months along and needs to make an appointment with the baby Drs.
Julio is out on the street talking on the phone and Dan is running after him. He tells him to stop. He looks at him saying “oh my God. Don Julio. It’s you!! Your Alive!!”
Julio, putting his phone away, caught in the act looks at Dan and says. “Yes Dan, It’s me.”
Alicia is walking and thinking at the same time (which I believe is quite a feat for our clueless airhead). She muses to herself that she is expecting Leo’s child and this will certainly put an end to the Leo Eva wedding. Eva wouldn’t accept it. Who knows maybe he will marry her now. Then she tells herself to not be so stupid. Leo would never do that. She wanders upon a hot dog stand and decides it is time to eat. She’s eating for two now.
Don Julio is filling Dan in on all the details. Marcella had been hiring all the attendants to make sure he took the medicine in small doses. “Killing me slowly, without leaving a trace.” “The medicine that Eva was giving me everyday.” Dan asks him why he didn’t go to the police when he found out. Julio tells him he didn’t think that would be enough punishment for her. He wanted vengeance. He wanted to destroy her life like she destroyed his by keeping him closed up in that awful room for so long, while she was slowly
(paulatinamente) killing him. Dan chuckles and says “And part of your vengeance was to leave her penniless.” Now Julio chuckles and says and to leave the business to Eva, as well as the mansion and most of his fortune. He tells Dan that Marcella wanted to turn Eva into his killer, but he turned Eva into his heir. They continue to chuckle together.
The office girls of Arismendi are discussing Rosaura’s absence. Girl number one thinks she will get fired. Girl number two says she thinks she is gone for good. (Ain’t that the truth) Just between the two of them, she thinks she left with Bruno.
Eva shows up looking for Dan. She tells the office girls to let him know she is looking for him. In the meantime she has a meeting with the car guys.
Julio continues telling Dan everything he did. He wrote a new will and had his Dr. friend help him fake his death. He also tells Dan that he had a paper signed that his coffin be sealed for good and that no one could open it. Dan seems to remember this. Then Dan says he remembers hearing that Renata saw him drink the coffee with the “medicine” in it. Julio tells Dan that he had switched the bottles and the only thing that was in it was water. Dan is quite impressed that he had everything so well planned out. He also tells Dan that he was never legally dead. Dan asks him how? Julio tells him “Everyone accepted my last will and testament and no one contested it and everyone just accepted Eva as the president of the business. The lawyer never singed his death certificate. (I got a little lost here so might have it a bit wrong). He continues that his lawyer took care of every thing and his accountant also made sure every thing was in order.
Dan asks Julio what he plans to do now. Julio tells him that soon Marcela will learn that he is alive but that‘s still a long ways off. Then he wipes his face and tells Dan there is something very important he needs to know. He tells him it is something he suspects that Marcella has done. Something very serious that happened years ago. Something that affects Dan. Dan asks him what it is about. He tells Dan that Eva will tell him.
Old George (Giorgio) has come to see Marcella at the mansion. He has some papers he needs her to sign for their new catalogue. Marcella is in quite a happy mood and George comments on how happy that makes him to see her like that. She tells him she woke up this morning content and relaxed and finally like she has regained control of everything. George tells her she deserves to feel like that.
They are interrupted by Leo. He kisses her on the cheek and tells her he deposited the $5000 like she asked. He asks her how the event was last night and Marcella tells him it was marvelous. George asks her where she went last night. He wasn’t aware of any event. Marcella tells him that not all her events have to do with work. She tells them she had a “Little reunion” with some friends that came up at the last minute. She smiles devilishly and said it was quite entertaining.
Marcella hands George the signed documents She tells him to make sure the firemen get their $5000. She tells him she would like to give more but since Bruno stole all her money she is left out in the streets. George is sympathetic to her loss. He tells Leo since the wedding is close he can count on him for any help he might need.
Before he leaves he tells Leo that he hopes the legal problem between him and Dan is resolved soon and that both of them are found innocent. Marcella is taking this all in. Leo looks very uncomfortable. Once George leaves she asks Leo what he was talking about.
Eva is at a meeting with the car guys. They all loved it. FF>>>>
Dan’s Divorce lawyer is at Dan’s house. Vicky thinks he is there to serve her papers for trying to kidnap Pablito. The lawyer tells her he is there with divorce papers.
Vicky is freaking out as she looks at the blue folder. She tells him he is wrong. Her and Dan are not getting a divorce. She is near hysteria now as she tells him she has changed and he isn’t going to leave her. The lawyer tries to calm her down and says Dan is divorcing her for adultery. He has the right to do this. Vicky now in a rage slaps the lawyer silly and starts screaming at him telling him there will be no divorce as she starts shoving him out the door. Then she starts throwing wine glasses at the door. Jacky is at the door way and witness to all the craziness. She attempts to approach an out of control Vicky who turns and rudely pushes her out of the way as she storms off. Fran hearing the commotion and seeing all the broken glass asks a shaken Jacky, what’s going on?
George is leaving Marcella’s place and reviewing the documents. He realizes that one page wasn’t signed and turns around to go back to see her. We see Leo telling Marcella that there is no legal problem. It was something that Dan made up. Marcella is not buying this and tells him he better tell her what is going on. If he doesn’t tell her she will go ask Dan. As she hovers over him she says he would rather have her hear his version right? He tells her it is quite simple, but tragic than begins to tell her that Dan just happened to run over Eva’s father and killed him about a year ago. Now Eva has turned him into the police and Dan had the nerve to blame Leo for the accident. Marcella seems a bit beyond believe and asks him to explain everything to her. He tells her about the yacht outing with Claudia, Vick and Dan, but inserts his version of the events saying it was Dan who ran over Eva’s father.
Marcella asks if there was any proof or witnesses that could swear that Dan was responsible. Leo is squirming a bit and tells her there is proof, Dan’s car and witnesses, namely Leo. Marcella smiles and approaches him and says “Oh my son. There is no doubt that you came from me. Congratulations my love”
As she caresses his face like a proud mother.
Leo seems a bit confused and tells her he doesn’t understand. She tells him she will explain it to him. She is his mother and she knows him well “I know it was you and no one else but you who ran over Eva’s father.” At this very moment, George is standing at the open door and gets an earful. Leo gets a very concerned look on his face hearing his mothers words.
George now just out of sight continues to listen as Leo asks Marcella how she could ever think that. Marcella says “You want me to believe that old honest stupid Dan would run someone over and leave him in the street? Please Leo , that is something you would do.” Leo looks a bit shamed and George looks horrified. Leo can’t believe that she would think he could do something like that. He tells her she knows him well. He is incapable of doing such a thing. Marcella isn’t buying this. Marcella now takes his wounded face in her hands and tells him, “My intention isn’t to offend you. I adore you. On the contrary. I am really proud of you. George still listening in looks as if he is going to be sick. Leo questions “Proud? Of me?” She says “Anything that you could do to make Eva suffer more brings me great happiness. You can trust your mother.” Leo is still trying to deny it as Marcella tells him she knows him better than any one and knows that he is smart enough to cover up his mistakes. She tells him this couldn’t be better. There is no proof. It’s Dan’s word against his. There’s no way he will be found out. Poor George is shaking his head in disbelief and disgust.
Leo tells Marcella the only thing he asks for now is that she forgive him. Marcella now realizing the door is open walks over to close it. We see George making a hasty retreat. Marcella tells Leo not to torment himself. Leo says it hasn’t been easy for him. He keeps seeing the image of the old guy run over on the street. Now George’s curiosity has got the best of him as he creeps back to the door to continue his eavesdropping. Marcella is now comforting Leo and tells him not to be so sentimental. Stop feeling so bad. The guy is dead. There is nothing they can do about that. And after all it was a great way to get Eva away from Dan. Everything turned out fantastic. She congratulates him. Leo looks a bit frightened and tells her when she talks like that it scares him. She then gets a bit serious and tells him that the one thing that can never happen is that Eva would stop believing in him. And when he marries her they will get rid of her and their fortune will be theirs once again.. George has heard enough as he shakes his head in disgust and leaves.
George has finally made it to the entryway as he thinks to himself “I can’t believe this. Leo killed Eva’s father. Now what do I do with this secret? I am really afraid for what I know. Oh my God, what should I do?” (Little word of advice here, don’t let Marcella know that you know!!)
I am going to start condensing some of these side stories. First up is the Marisol deal. She is meeting Damian in the park. He wants to know if she has brought his money. She tells him he has to promise her that no one will find out about her past. Damian is in for the shake down. His silence comes with a price. Marisol tells him this is extortion. Damian tells her it is the price she has to pay to leave the strip joint.
She hands him the money and Damian tells her once she is famous he will be back for more.
Marisol seems a bit nervous and suddenly we see a man approach and tell Damian the jig is up. Damian calls him stupid and asks him what he’s talking about. The guy flashes a badge. Old Damian flashes his knife and grabs Marisol by the neck.
The policeman pulls a gun and we have a bit of a standoff. Not to worry. There is back up.
Damian is wrestled to the ground. The police woman tells Marisol she did just great. Our handsome musician approaches Marisol and hugs are exchanged as the police drag Damian away.. Lets hope that is the end of Damian, although he his yelling at her that she hasn‘t heard the last of him. (or something like that.)
Ricardo shows up at the Mansion and Renata opens the door. She asks if there is anything wrong with Justa. He tells her he came to talk to her. Wise old Renata takes him away from any potential eaves droppers. Ricardo has the photo of her, Julio and Justa in his hands and asks her about it. Renata gets a bit nervous. He asks if she knows who the man is and Renata tells him it is Julio. .
Ricardo asks Renata if Julio wasn’t the great love of Justa’s life. Renata tells him that Julio is dead and buried. Ricardo looks at her and says “Are you sure?” Renata tells him she is certain of it. She was at the burial. Why would he ask such a thing. He tells her when he found the picture he suddenly became afraid. Renata asks him why he would be afraid. He tells her he is afraid of loosing Justa. Renata tells him the picture is just a memory. Renata tells him that all the old wounds are healed and she is certain that Justa is happy with him. Ricardo tells her he hopes so.
Dan has finally made it to Eva’s office. He tells her he was at the pension and was surprised to see Julio playing video games with Adrian. Eva attempts to compose herself as Dan tells her he saw Julio and he told him everything. She asks him what else did Julio tell him. Dan tells her that he said she had something important to tell him about Marcella.
Eva is telling Dan about the suspicions that Deb, Julio and she has about Marcella. She tells him how Deb overheard a “delirious Marcela” remembering the death of his parents. Dan tells Eva that Marcella was away on a trip when his parents died. Eva fills him in on everything they discovered. She tells him that they believe that His parents deaths were no accident. Dan seems shocked to hear this. Eva tells him It was Marcella who murdered them.
Dan can’t believe what he is hearing. He asks her what she’s talking about. Eva tells him to calm down.
Dan assures her that Marcella could not have killed his parents. Why would she do something like that. She tells him that they believe Marcella did not want his parents to sell their part of the agency. Dan tells her that this can’t be.
Eva tells Dan that the detective in charge of his parents case thought that the car was pushed over the cliff but didn’t have any proof and had to close the case. Dan is pacing now and finally sits down saying. “I remember when they told me that Dad had lost control of the car I remembered that mom always complained how he drove too slow and they were always late because of him.” Eva tells him that these little details that he is remembering put a different spin on how things really occurred.
Eva tells Dan that Marcella didn’t want his parents to sell their actions to a stranger. When she heard they were going to the cabin , she told Julio she was going to the city for a few hours. She tells him it all adds up. Dan tells her to continue. Eva tells him Marcella was in the next cabin. She supposes that when they showed up, Marcella invited them out for a bit. Julio thinks that she probably poisoned them. Dan is suffering to hear this. Eva continues “Later she put them in the car and pushed it over the cliff.” Dan continues, “Then she set it on fire.” Eva says that is probably how she burned her hand.
Dan tells Eva that Marcella told them she burnt her hand in an accident at the hotel. Eva tells Dan that Deb talked to the people at the hotel and there was never a fire at the hotel.
Marcella is on the phone talking with someone. We hear a voice telling her when she tells them they have every thing in order to proceed with the exhumation of Julio’s body. Marcella tells him to bring the papers she needs to sign. She will give them a little prepayment for all the costs they might incur. She wants to get started with this as soon as possible.
Julio is telling Garcia that Dan saw him at the pension. He tells him he had no choice but to fill Dan in on everything. He assures Garcia that once he explained everything to Dan why he had to fake his death, Dan promised to keep his little secret. Garcia asks if it is time for Leo, Marcella and Vicky to find out that he is still alive? Julio tells him he is inevitable that they will find out and they are very close to finding out everything.
Vicky is not taking the divorce actions with dignity and grace as she goes screaming into Dan’s empty bedroom and starts yelling at his photo “You are not going to do this to me.” She throws it across the room and a full on rage ensues.
Eva is fixing Dan a much needed drink as he tells her this is really hard for him to believe. Marcella was so kind to him after his parents died. She took such good care of him. Eva suggests that she probably wasn’t taking care of him but more interested in his money. Dan remembers Marcella’s words “Don’t worry about anything Dan, You are not alone in the world. You have me. I will help you with all the financial administrative concerns.” He puts his hands over his head as he remembers her words. Eva asks him what he is thinking about. He tells her he is remembering what Marcella told him after the accident. Now he is putting it altogether as he starts pacing again. “Yea she wanted to help me with all the financial administrative concerns and wanted to consolidate our fortunes and me to marry Vicky. That is why she got so mad when I got married to Laruita’s mother. After she died, Marcella made sure that Vicky was around to console me.” Eva tells him that Julio thinks the same thing that Marcella convinced Vicky to marry him. Eva tells Dan that she is certain now that Marcella is responsible for his parents deaths. Dan agrees. It was Marcella that killed his parents. He is hopping mad now and starts to take off, telling Eva he is going to confront Marcella. Eva stops him
So I don’t get this one bit, but Tony shows up and is rehired by Leo. El Gallo tells him he is the best and he needs him for a new business deal. Tony tells him as long as the money is good there isn’t any problems.
Leo is happy he is back on board and tells Tony to show up at the house later, so he can fill him in on the next delivery (entrega.) Tony has an intense look on his face. (I wonder what he is up to?)
Dan is trying to leave and Eva is frantically tying to hold him back.
He tells her he is going to the police. Eva is pleading with him not to go to the police yet. They don’t have enough proof. This is just all conjecture by her , Deb and Julio. Dan tells her they can go to the detective and reopen the case and investigate Marcella. Eva tells him they will arrest her and she will become furious. Dan beside himself now asks her then what should they do? Eva tells him to calm down before everyone finds out what is going on. She tells him they have to think this over very carefully. Marcella can’t find out they are investigating her. Dan tells her if it is true that Marcella killed his parents he won’t rest until he sees her behind bars (tras las rejas.)
Adrian and Laurita are at the pension. Adrian asks her if she is still mad at Eva. Laurita says she is not just mad at her but then asks to change the subject. Adrian says fine lets talk about something else because if we don’t you will just keep being mad at me. He asks her when she is going back to school. She tells him next week, but then she will probably come back home for good because Dan and Vicky are getting separated. Adrian seems pleased to hear this. He asks why they are getting a separation. Laurita fills him in on what the “Old witch” has been up to. She tells him Vicky is going cookoo.
Said cookoo has now picked up Dan’s picture and starts whimmering “you love me” over and over and cowers by the side of the bed kissing the photo.
Fran and Jacky are frantically trying to reach Dan by phone when he suddenly shows up at the house. They fill him in on the recent Vicky rant of insanity. They tell him that the lawyer was there. Dan goes quickly to the bedroom and finds Vicky on the floor rocking back and forth in a crazed state. Chanting “you love me” over and over. He sits behind her and looks on helplessly.
We have a Marisol Alicia moment. Alicia tells her she is pregnant with Leo’s child. In the next moment we go to Leo’s office where an angry Lilly has just landed. She wants to know where he was last night and why he has answered any of her calls. He tells her he was busy. Lily tells him while he was busy, Eva and Dan are going at one another in the office. Leo asks her where she got such a stupid idea. Lilly tells him if only it was a stupid idea. Vicky saw them kissing in the office. Leo now seems a bit more concerned. He starts pacing and is convinced that it is Daniel who is always trying to get the upper hand by getting close to Eva. Lilly warns him that if he doesn’t act soon, Eva will never marry him. (I missed some stuff here, but it is getting late).
Marisol can’t believe that Alicia is pregnant with Leo’s child. Alicia tells her she went to the clinic and is 100% certain. Alicia tells her at first she didn’t know what to think but now she is happy thinking about having a baby. She says she is a bit confused (duh!!) but this is probably a good reason for Eva not to marry Leo. Marisol asks her if Leo knows she is expecting his spawn. Alicia says no. Marisol asks her what she thinks he will do when he finds out. Alicia doesn’t know but after all it is his child. (Are you all remembering old naïve Claudia?) Alicia tells Marisol she will tell him today.
Dan is asking his lawyer what he said to Vicky. He tells Dan that he just told her the divorce papers were ready and she needed to sign them. The lawyer tells Dan that she went nuts and tells Dan that his wife isn’t right in the head. Dan says that he knows better than any one else that she is nuts. Time for a drink as Dan reaches for the bottle.
In the meantime our resident crazy has tucked herself in Dan’s bed and is telling herself that Dan will pay for this. She tells herself “If you take your love away from me I will take away the thing you love the most. Your adorable child, pretty Laurita, innocent Laurita, It is your fathers fault what is about to happen to you. Things are going to get really ugly.”
Tony is at the big house and sees Alicia get out of a taxi. She asks him what he is doing there. She wants to know if he returned to pick a fight with Leo. Tony assures her that isn’t the case. Her future brother in-law has rehired him. He is the key to all his business dealings. Alicia tells him to be sure and behave because she will see to it that he gets a raise. Tony asks her how she will be able to make sure he gets a raise. Alicia tells him because it is her that Leo is going to have to marry. Tony speaks a bit of English and tells her he isn’t following her. Alicia brushes him off and tells him he will understand soon enough and takes off.
Vicky is doing a march of the crazies as she wonders by Lauritas room and stares in at her.
Our other crazy sibling is sitting on the sofa in his room telling himself that if Daniel thinks he is going to take Eva away at this point he is willing to do anything even if he has to invent more proof that he killed Eva’s father. He will do what ever is needed to make sure he is locked up for life. Eva is going to marry me no matter what.
We hear a door open and Leo quickly looks up. It is Alicia. Leo is ticked and asks her what she wants now. Alicia gets all prickly about his attitude and Leo tells her he isn’t up for any of her games. Alicia tells him she isn’t up for any games either. She tells him to stop with the bad attitude because she has something important to tell him. He asks her what’s up. Did she change her mind? She tells him she doesn’t know if she has changed her mind but she knows from now on things are going to be different between them. Leo smirks at this. And says “Of course things will be different. Finally you have accepted this. I am going to marry your sister.” Alicia tells him that she isn’t so certain about that. Leo asks her why. Alicia tells him “I don’t think my sister will want to marry you when she finds out I am expecting your child.” Leo who has been admiring himself in the mirror turns quickly and says “What??” Alicia repeats “Just what you heard. I am expecting your baby.” We are left with Leo’s perplexed face. And some pretty scary previews. Crazy Vicky takes Laurita for a ride.
Introduces himself to Dan as Vincenta Olmos. He says “excuse me, see you later” and hustles out the door. Ricardo seems quite confused and Dan quickly hustles out after Julio. A stunned Ricardo is left staring at the closed door when Justa appears to drag him of to the kitchen.
Alicia tells the Dr. she knew she was pregnant. After all with all the vomiting and feeling strange and such.
The Dr. tells her she is two months along and needs to make an appointment with the baby Drs.
Julio is out on the street talking on the phone and Dan is running after him. He tells him to stop. He looks at him saying “oh my God. Don Julio. It’s you!! Your Alive!!”
Julio, putting his phone away, caught in the act looks at Dan and says. “Yes Dan, It’s me.”
Alicia is walking and thinking at the same time (which I believe is quite a feat for our clueless airhead). She muses to herself that she is expecting Leo’s child and this will certainly put an end to the Leo Eva wedding. Eva wouldn’t accept it. Who knows maybe he will marry her now. Then she tells herself to not be so stupid. Leo would never do that. She wanders upon a hot dog stand and decides it is time to eat. She’s eating for two now.
Don Julio is filling Dan in on all the details. Marcella had been hiring all the attendants to make sure he took the medicine in small doses. “Killing me slowly, without leaving a trace.” “The medicine that Eva was giving me everyday.” Dan asks him why he didn’t go to the police when he found out.

He wanted to destroy her life like she destroyed his by keeping him closed up in that awful room for so long, while she was slowly

Dan chuckles and says “And part of your vengeance was to leave her penniless.” Now Julio chuckles and says and to leave the business to Eva, as well as the mansion and most of his fortune. He tells Dan that Marcella wanted to turn Eva into his killer, but he turned Eva into his heir. They continue to chuckle together.
The office girls of Arismendi are discussing Rosaura’s absence. Girl number one thinks she will get fired. Girl number two says she thinks she is gone for good. (Ain’t that the truth) Just between the two of them, she thinks she left with Bruno.
Eva shows up looking for Dan. She tells the office girls to let him know she is looking for him. In the meantime she has a meeting with the car guys.

Something very serious that happened years ago. Something that affects Dan. Dan asks him what it is about. He tells Dan that Eva will tell him.

Leo looks a bit frightened and tells her when she talks like that it scares him. She then gets a bit serious and tells him that the one thing that can never happen is that Eva would stop believing in him. And when he marries her they will get rid of her and their fortune will be theirs once again.. George has heard enough as he shakes his head in disgust and leaves.
George has finally made it to the entryway as he thinks to himself “I can’t believe this. Leo killed Eva’s father. Now what do I do with this secret? I am really afraid for what I know. Oh my God, what should I do?” (Little word of advice here, don’t let Marcella know that you know!!)
I am going to start condensing some of these side stories. First up is the Marisol deal. She is meeting Damian in the park. He wants to know if she has brought his money. She tells him he has to promise her that no one will find out about her past. Damian is in for the shake down. His silence comes with a price. Marisol tells him this is extortion. Damian tells her it is the price she has to pay to leave the strip joint.
She hands him the money and Damian tells her once she is famous he will be back for more.
Marisol seems a bit nervous and suddenly we see a man approach and tell Damian the jig is up. Damian calls him stupid and asks him what he’s talking about. The guy flashes a badge. Old Damian flashes his knife and grabs Marisol by the neck.
The policeman pulls a gun and we have a bit of a standoff. Not to worry. There is back up.
Damian is wrestled to the ground. The police woman tells Marisol she did just great. Our handsome musician approaches Marisol and hugs are exchanged as the police drag Damian away.. Lets hope that is the end of Damian, although he his yelling at her that she hasn‘t heard the last of him. (or something like that.)
Ricardo shows up at the Mansion and Renata opens the door. She asks if there is anything wrong with Justa. He tells her he came to talk to her. Wise old Renata takes him away from any potential eaves droppers. Ricardo has the photo of her, Julio and Justa in his hands and asks her about it. Renata gets a bit nervous. He asks if she knows who the man is and Renata tells him it is Julio. .
Ricardo asks Renata if Julio wasn’t the great love of Justa’s life. Renata tells him that Julio is dead and buried. Ricardo looks at her and says “Are you sure?” Renata tells him she is certain of it. She was at the burial. Why would he ask such a thing. He tells her when he found the picture he suddenly became afraid. Renata asks him why he would be afraid. He tells her he is afraid of loosing Justa. Renata tells him the picture is just a memory. Renata tells him that all the old wounds are healed and she is certain that Justa is happy with him. Ricardo tells her he hopes so.
Dan has finally made it to Eva’s office. He tells her he was at the pension and was surprised to see Julio playing video games with Adrian. Eva attempts to compose herself as Dan tells her he saw Julio and he told him everything. She asks him what else did Julio tell him. Dan tells her that he said she had something important to tell him about Marcella.
Eva is telling Dan about the suspicions that Deb, Julio and she has about Marcella. She tells him how Deb overheard a “delirious Marcela” remembering the death of his parents. Dan tells Eva that Marcella was away on a trip when his parents died. Eva fills him in on everything they discovered. She tells him that they believe that His parents deaths were no accident. Dan seems shocked to hear this. Eva tells him It was Marcella who murdered them.
Dan can’t believe what he is hearing. He asks her what she’s talking about. Eva tells him to calm down.
Dan assures her that Marcella could not have killed his parents. Why would she do something like that. She tells him that they believe Marcella did not want his parents to sell their part of the agency. Dan tells her that this can’t be.
Eva tells Dan that the detective in charge of his parents case thought that the car was pushed over the cliff but didn’t have any proof and had to close the case. Dan is pacing now and finally sits down saying. “I remember when they told me that Dad had lost control of the car I remembered that mom always complained how he drove too slow and they were always late because of him.” Eva tells him that these little details that he is remembering put a different spin on how things really occurred.
Eva tells Dan that Marcella didn’t want his parents to sell their actions to a stranger. When she heard they were going to the cabin , she told Julio she was going to the city for a few hours. She tells him it all adds up. Dan tells her to continue. Eva tells him Marcella was in the next cabin. She supposes that when they showed up, Marcella invited them out for a bit. Julio thinks that she probably poisoned them. Dan is suffering to hear this. Eva continues “Later she put them in the car and pushed it over the cliff.” Dan continues, “Then she set it on fire.” Eva says that is probably how she burned her hand.
Dan tells Eva that Marcella told them she burnt her hand in an accident at the hotel. Eva tells Dan that Deb talked to the people at the hotel and there was never a fire at the hotel.
Marcella is on the phone talking with someone. We hear a voice telling her when she tells them they have every thing in order to proceed with the exhumation of Julio’s body. Marcella tells him to bring the papers she needs to sign. She will give them a little prepayment for all the costs they might incur. She wants to get started with this as soon as possible.
Julio is telling Garcia that Dan saw him at the pension. He tells him he had no choice but to fill Dan in on everything. He assures Garcia that once he explained everything to Dan why he had to fake his death, Dan promised to keep his little secret. Garcia asks if it is time for Leo, Marcella and Vicky to find out that he is still alive? Julio tells him he is inevitable that they will find out and they are very close to finding out everything.
Vicky is not taking the divorce actions with dignity and grace as she goes screaming into Dan’s empty bedroom and starts yelling at his photo “You are not going to do this to me.” She throws it across the room and a full on rage ensues.
Eva is fixing Dan a much needed drink as he tells her this is really hard for him to believe. Marcella was so kind to him after his parents died. She took such good care of him. Eva suggests that she probably wasn’t taking care of him but more interested in his money. Dan remembers Marcella’s words “Don’t worry about anything Dan, You are not alone in the world. You have me. I will help you with all the financial administrative concerns.” He puts his hands over his head as he remembers her words. Eva asks him what he is thinking about. He tells her he is remembering what Marcella told him after the accident. Now he is putting it altogether as he starts pacing again. “Yea she wanted to help me with all the financial administrative concerns and wanted to consolidate our fortunes and me to marry Vicky. That is why she got so mad when I got married to Laruita’s mother. After she died, Marcella made sure that Vicky was around to console me.” Eva tells him that Julio thinks the same thing that Marcella convinced Vicky to marry him. Eva tells Dan that she is certain now that Marcella is responsible for his parents deaths. Dan agrees. It was Marcella that killed his parents. He is hopping mad now and starts to take off, telling Eva he is going to confront Marcella. Eva stops him
So I don’t get this one bit, but Tony shows up and is rehired by Leo. El Gallo tells him he is the best and he needs him for a new business deal. Tony tells him as long as the money is good there isn’t any problems.
Leo is happy he is back on board and tells Tony to show up at the house later, so he can fill him in on the next delivery (entrega.) Tony has an intense look on his face. (I wonder what he is up to?)
Dan is trying to leave and Eva is frantically tying to hold him back.
He tells her he is going to the police. Eva is pleading with him not to go to the police yet. They don’t have enough proof. This is just all conjecture by her , Deb and Julio. Dan tells her they can go to the detective and reopen the case and investigate Marcella. Eva tells him they will arrest her and she will become furious. Dan beside himself now asks her then what should they do? Eva tells him to calm down before everyone finds out what is going on. She tells him they have to think this over very carefully. Marcella can’t find out they are investigating her. Dan tells her if it is true that Marcella killed his parents he won’t rest until he sees her behind bars (tras las rejas.)
Adrian and Laurita are at the pension. Adrian asks her if she is still mad at Eva. Laurita says she is not just mad at her but then asks to change the subject. Adrian says fine lets talk about something else because if we don’t you will just keep being mad at me. He asks her when she is going back to school. She tells him next week, but then she will probably come back home for good because Dan and Vicky are getting separated. Adrian seems pleased to hear this. He asks why they are getting a separation. Laurita fills him in on what the “Old witch” has been up to. She tells him Vicky is going cookoo.
Said cookoo has now picked up Dan’s picture and starts whimmering “you love me” over and over and cowers by the side of the bed kissing the photo.
Fran and Jacky are frantically trying to reach Dan by phone when he suddenly shows up at the house. They fill him in on the recent Vicky rant of insanity. They tell him that the lawyer was there. Dan goes quickly to the bedroom and finds Vicky on the floor rocking back and forth in a crazed state. Chanting “you love me” over and over. He sits behind her and looks on helplessly.
We have a Marisol Alicia moment. Alicia tells her she is pregnant with Leo’s child. In the next moment we go to Leo’s office where an angry Lilly has just landed. She wants to know where he was last night and why he has answered any of her calls. He tells her he was busy. Lily tells him while he was busy, Eva and Dan are going at one another in the office. Leo asks her where she got such a stupid idea. Lilly tells him if only it was a stupid idea. Vicky saw them kissing in the office. Leo now seems a bit more concerned. He starts pacing and is convinced that it is Daniel who is always trying to get the upper hand by getting close to Eva. Lilly warns him that if he doesn’t act soon, Eva will never marry him. (I missed some stuff here, but it is getting late).
Marisol can’t believe that Alicia is pregnant with Leo’s child. Alicia tells her she went to the clinic and is 100% certain. Alicia tells her at first she didn’t know what to think but now she is happy thinking about having a baby. She says she is a bit confused (duh!!) but this is probably a good reason for Eva not to marry Leo. Marisol asks her if Leo knows she is expecting his spawn. Alicia says no. Marisol asks her what she thinks he will do when he finds out. Alicia doesn’t know but after all it is his child. (Are you all remembering old naïve Claudia?) Alicia tells Marisol she will tell him today.
Dan is asking his lawyer what he said to Vicky. He tells Dan that he just told her the divorce papers were ready and she needed to sign them. The lawyer tells Dan that she went nuts and tells Dan that his wife isn’t right in the head. Dan says that he knows better than any one else that she is nuts. Time for a drink as Dan reaches for the bottle.
In the meantime our resident crazy has tucked herself in Dan’s bed and is telling herself that Dan will pay for this. She tells herself “If you take your love away from me I will take away the thing you love the most. Your adorable child, pretty Laurita, innocent Laurita, It is your fathers fault what is about to happen to you. Things are going to get really ugly.”
Tony is at the big house and sees Alicia get out of a taxi. She asks him what he is doing there. She wants to know if he returned to pick a fight with Leo. Tony assures her that isn’t the case. Her future brother in-law has rehired him. He is the key to all his business dealings. Alicia tells him to be sure and behave because she will see to it that he gets a raise. Tony asks her how she will be able to make sure he gets a raise. Alicia tells him because it is her that Leo is going to have to marry. Tony speaks a bit of English and tells her he isn’t following her. Alicia brushes him off and tells him he will understand soon enough and takes off.
Vicky is doing a march of the crazies as she wonders by Lauritas room and stares in at her.
Our other crazy sibling is sitting on the sofa in his room telling himself that if Daniel thinks he is going to take Eva away at this point he is willing to do anything even if he has to invent more proof that he killed Eva’s father. He will do what ever is needed to make sure he is locked up for life. Eva is going to marry me no matter what.
We hear a door open and Leo quickly looks up. It is Alicia. Leo is ticked and asks her what she wants now. Alicia gets all prickly about his attitude and Leo tells her he isn’t up for any of her games. Alicia tells him she isn’t up for any games either. She tells him to stop with the bad attitude because she has something important to tell him. He asks her what’s up. Did she change her mind? She tells him she doesn’t know if she has changed her mind but she knows from now on things are going to be different between them. Leo smirks at this. And says “Of course things will be different. Finally you have accepted this. I am going to marry your sister.” Alicia tells him that she isn’t so certain about that. Leo asks her why. Alicia tells him “I don’t think my sister will want to marry you when she finds out I am expecting your child.” Leo who has been admiring himself in the mirror turns quickly and says “What??” Alicia repeats “Just what you heard. I am expecting your baby.” We are left with Leo’s perplexed face. And some pretty scary previews. Crazy Vicky takes Laurita for a ride.

Pata- I love how you organized this recap and how descriptive it was. Many thanks.
Leo doesn't have a clue just how evil his mother is. She's got him beat by many miles. I hope at some point he will find out about her long list of murders. Sorry those of you who think he is the one that has been sending Marci the notes-- he doesn't have a clue just how evil his mother is. When he finds out I think he will react with both admiration and a hearty does of fear (like he showed when she reacted so happily to the news of him killing Eva's dad). Marci has no problem killing with her own hands--it makes her happy as we have seen the last two episodes. While Leo had no problem having others kill for him (Gallo and Claudia), but has nightmares about killing Eva's dad. I think that's why Marcela is so quick to think Julio is really alive-- she doesn't believe in ghosts and she knows her conscience isn't bothered by committing murder.
So Marisol's life is settling into place. Now she just needs to end things with Franc.
Alicia continues to be an idiot. Did you notice the way Leo was looking at her stomach? Like he planned on punching her right there. That baby is in great danger.
Finally JoJo has seen the real Marcela and Bruno, and someone else knows the truth about the accident. Hopefully, he won't meet the same fate as Claudia before he can share any useful information.
OK, time for Renata to tell Julio and Justa that Vicky is their daughter. Then the three of them need to take their daughter/niece off Dan's hands and put her in a manicomio.

Great recap, Pata. Yes, I agree with you that Alicia has a hard time thinking and walking.
Vivi, you are so very right, I think even Leo was given pause at his mother's evil. Let's hope Georgio doesn't share this info with the wrong person.
Alicia, her reasoning skills thin at best doesn't know about Marzilla the Hun's killing of Dan's parents, doesn't know about Claudia, either. So now who does she tell about her pregnancy first? And she is running around offering to give Tony a raise, acting like she has the winning lotto ticket in her pocket.
All Leo needs to do is tell his mom, and she will fix Alicia a nice cup of tea, but something tells me he might not want to tell his mother about this.
After all this, is Eva still going to marry Leo? The story will just not make sense if she can't connect those dots.
I believe Tony was hired to plant evidence against Dan at the accident scene.
Teresa begins next Wednesday night, but at 9 pm and Eva is still running. I was surprised, because it really seems to be wrapping up.
I don't get the explanation of how Marzilla killed Dan's parents, it looked like they said that she was only 4 hrs away (last night), and poisoned them, and then put them in the car...? Can't picture this.

Such a good point about Marzilla's conscience, Vivi, I can only hope that the TN writers are actually that smart.
Great recap esp. the photos. The one of Laurita is just precious!
Things really seem to be coming to a head, but I can't get a feel for when this might end. We still have a few things to work through.
Teresa starts next Wednesday, apparently, but that will be shown after Eva Luna, moving TDA into the 10/9C time slot.
Oh - I'm so worried for Alicia's baby now. Amazing how this dumb characters will walk right into the lion's mouth before threatening it!

Good point Emarie about "I believe Tony was hired to plant evidence against Dan at the accident scene." I couldn't quite reason out what job Leo could possible call in Tony for.
Great opportunity for Tony to double-cross Leo. Sure looks like a setup! Tony now has several cards in his hand - the photos of Eva with Leo, the original setup where Eva saw Dan's car, and now this latest "job". I look forward to seeing them played.

Great job on this.
Giorgio was smart enough to walk away before there was any risk of being caught; he better go to Eva immediately.
Laurita will put up a fight before that ride.
Leo and Marcela will probably turn on each other 3 or 4 episodes from the end. However, considering that he doesn't kill first-hand he will not be able to kill Eva and he might have qualms about Icky and especially about Murderous Marcie. She may end up killing him because he's too "cowardly" to do his own killing.
I feel bad for Justa and Julio to have had a daughter like Icky. I suspect the disclosure of her parentage might be enough of a distraction to prevent her killing Laurita.

Pata,
Thank you for this recap and pics.
So Teresa does start @ 9pm on Wednesday. I thought this show was taking Eva Luna spot. Oh Well.
I doubt Eva will be telling Leo that she will not be marrying him anytime soon. She's still stupid where he's concerned. B/c with all the info she has about Icky and Marice she still will not think Leo is just as evil as the rest of his family.
So now Leo's going to have to get his hands dirty with getting rid of Alicia's baby. B/c Tony wont do it for him, and once Tony know's Leo want's to hurt Alicia he's going to want to kill Leo even more.
I thought Tony only took one of the photos from the package?
Giorgio now knows Marice is evil? Now I wonder what he will do with said info. The only way I see JOJO info getting out is though Marisol, b/c we know he's going to tell her, and she will in turn tell Alicia or Eva.
How the HECK are they going to get rid of Lililech? At first I thought she would double cross Leo, but now I'm not so sure b/c she has her hands full the crazy Bimbutt. Speaking of crazy bimbutt if she hurts Laurita Daniels going to kill her. I have a feeling that when she (Vicky)is caught, her crazy will be hanging out and she's going to tell all the info she knows inorder to try and keep Dan.

Queen Snooki's almost instantaneous disbelief and rebuttal of Leonardo's story might have been the biggest display of actual intelligence ever on this show...or at least it's up there with Julio faking his death. It probably also counts towards her taking the crown back from him as head villana, since even he was freaked out about it.
(Poor Giorgio, though. I figured he'd have to find out Marcie was a bad girl somehow, but this wasn't what I expected. Flip side, his knowing the truth about this may well seal his fate--depending on exactly how many episodes are left, since he can't run to Eva with this bombshell until right before the finale.)
And after all the sledgehammery exposition with their specifically stating that Julio was never officially declared dead, my theory about him needing to die is shot; killing him now means the will is null and void, which means Marcie would end up with everything. That said, this also means he needs to finally move on from Justa (hey, Matilde's not doing anything now)...or Ricardo has to die, which now makes nearly no sense at all if Damian's out of the picture.

Gracias Pata, I enjoyed your recap mucho. "Alicia is walking and thinking at the same time (which I believe is quite a feat for our clueless airhead)."
If she's troubled by nausea & vomiting, why is she eating a hot dog from a street vendor? —and with lots of mayonnaise and extra mustard? I know, I know, the scene was to demonstrate her new-found acceptance of the pregnancy, but all I could think of was the scene in TdA where Maria has a spell and they quickly say, "Oh it was something she ate on the street"

Here's how I think the exhumation will play out. The cemetery people will go in with their backhoe and dig up the grave, and just as they lift the lid off the vault, Dr. Garcia and/or Don Julio's lawyer will rush in with the papers saying they can't open the casket. Meanwhile the cemetery people will see Renata's letter lying on top of the casket, so they will hand it to Dr. Garcia, or the lawyer, who will take it to Don Julio, who will learn from it that Renata has always loved him and that Victoria is his biological daughter. Let's just hope that Don Julio doesn't have a fatal heart attack on the spot when he learns all this.

Pata: Thanks for all the detail and the pictures! Always a good rundown of our show's lunacy from you and really much appreciated! "Curious George"!! Good moniker and title. LOL! If he knows the plan to off Eva the dope better head over to Eva ASAP which would only be the most prudent not to mention the most decent thing for him to do.
Pata: As usual, another excellent recap from you! Thank you so very much!
Loved, loved your comments re Spandex Alicia. Amazing that this girl (she is not a woman) would think that Leo would be thrilled at her news. She never ceases to amaze, but I think she is in for some huge surprises.
Anon @ 1027: I like your plot line; very plausible!
Bill C: you, too, have brought up some excellent points!
All very interesting and am looking forward to the next installment!
Gracias, Pata!

thanks, Pata for a great recap. ITA with all your comments.
the line you were not sure about...
The lawyer never singed his death certificate.
was that Julio said the lawyer never cashed the life insurance policy... so I am not great in legal matters, what he was trying to tell Dano is that Julio is not officially or legally dead yet... he can waltz back home anytime and there would be no consequences. If he does not want Eva to lose the fortune there is nothing Marce can do if he is alive. After all, the will was all about HIS properties and assetts.
regarding LiLeach warning Leo, she also said to him when he stated that Dan always pushed himself on Eva, that Vicky told her that Eva was very engaged in the kiss herself, which alarmed Leo even more.
And about Marce smarts and it making more sense now, Vivi, you are so right, hadn't thought about that but yes, it makes sense that if Marce has an easy time killing herself, then she would not have nightmares/guilt trips about killing Julio so the 'nightmare freak show' would not work as well on her adn that is why she dies not buy the ghost play of Julio's.
ITA that Jojo better make sure he thinks about who he passes on the 'secret' to. he is totally right in being afraid, given what he now knows about Marce and how scheming she can be and how little she thinks about Leo covering up his mistakes and blaming Dano to separate him and Eva.

regarding LiLeach warning Leo, she also said to him when he stated that Dan always pushed himself on Eva, that Vicky told her that Eva was very engaged in the kiss herself, which alarmed Leo even more.
And about Marce smarts and it making more sense now, Vivi, you are so right, hadn't thought about that but yes, it makes sense that if Marce has an easy time killing herself, then she would not have nightmares/guilt trips about killing Julio so the 'nightmare freak show' would not work as well on her adn that is why she dies not buy the ghost play of Julio's.
ITA that Jojo better make sure he thinks about who he passes on the 'secret' to. he is totally right in being afraid, given what he now knows about Marce and how scheming she can be and how little she thinks about Leo covering up his mistakes and blaming Dano to separate him and Eva.
Wow...I love a Curious George title. George entertained my kids when they were little and he's still delighting my grandchildren. How wonderful that you could work it into your recap! Clever!
Have you guys figured out when this one is ending and the new one begins? We haven't got a clue what's coming next but we know we've only got 3 weeks to go on Llena.

Pata, thanks so much for the excellent and delightful recap. I loved it from the title onward.
So airhead Alicia thinks Leo might marry her now that she's carrying his child. Where is the ghost of Claudia when we need her? I wonder whether Tony (who is conveniently at the house when Alicia goes to give Leo the news) is going to wind up saving Alicia from Leo's rage.
It does look as though Marisol will soon be an item with Gerardo, and that will leave Francisco free for Jackie. Yawn.
Anon10:27, I too like your theory about the exhumation.
Like several other commenters, I was surprised that Teresa will take the 9 pm time slot rather than replacing Eva Luna. I guess four more episodes aren't quite enough to tie up all the loose ends, though I would have thought they were.
Question: aside from Leo and Marcela, who I assume will either die or meet some even more horrible fate, will there be any more deaths before this TN ends? I'm assuming that nothing really bad will happen to Laurita even though apparently Bimbutt captures her (according to last night's avances). I'm assuming too that Alicia means too much to Eva for the writers to kill her off. But what about Giorgio? Debra? Lileach? Tony? Carlos? ???

Alicia is walking and thinking at the same time (which I believe is quite a feat for our clueless airhead). Priceless!!!
But, I thought Henchman/woman Marcella already knew about the death of Eva's father, didn't she threaten Dano to be a witness against him? So was she just trying to find out if her bloodline was as evil as she is?
I saw something saying Triunfo was moving to 10 p.m. Still cant find out when Eva ends.
I missed the previews last night, from what everyone is saying, I better see this episode. it would be funny if little Laurita threw nutcase over a cliff, or if she was responsible for nutcase's demise.

Pata, thanks so much for your recap!
I so enjoy this speculation! Now we have two people Lileach and JoJo who know the truth but I doubt either will be around to testify about the murder. It will be interesting to see if Marcie & Leo do turn on one another.

Thanks Pata--Things sure are happening fast. You got what was critical in this episode. Congrats.
OK, so Alicia didn't listen to me and she told Leo first. BAD idea. Now what?
eMarie and Audrey--That looked like an ID bracelet Leo was holding when talking to Tony. I think you are both right and that is the evidence he is planning to plant at the scene of the accident.
Also, if Marcela poisoning DJ would be enough to have Eva call off the wedding, she would have done it earlier--she's known about the poisoning from waay before she moved into the house. And, she keeps insisting that Leo has been good to her.
Alicia's pregnancy might stop the wedding, once it starts to show and she hasn't told Eva right now. After all there aren't many likely suspects--Tony? Carlos? Leo?
If she waits another month, it might be too late and they are married. Viewerville knows that's not going to happen, so we are left to speculate on what it will take for Eva to cancel the wedding:
1. Alicia's relationship with Leo.
2. Leo's being unmasked by Lily and Giogrio (remember--they are third party and only hearsay, but Eva might believe Giorgio).
3. Finding out that Leo set Dan up with the car-in-the-park.
It looks like Tony does hold some pretty good cards now. Leo might put him between a rock and a hard place--you make sure Alicia loses the baby or...you are toast. Tony may decide to help Alicia and forgo his employment with Leo.
We know Marcie can use a jet-propelled broomstick to fly to Miami, get a hotel key, shoot at least one person, get back on her broomstick and be back in LA before bedtime.
Therefore, it is possible for her to have "left town" for a spa weekend, driven to the area near the Villanuevas, killed them, set the car on fire, rolled it over the barranca and driven calmly on to her hotel room four hours away (in certain pain with a badly burned hand? Puleez).
If also defies logic for her to have checked into the spa-hotel, driven 4 hours back, done the deed, and driven back to the hotel in 4 more hours. That makes for a pretty long day. Of course, she was younger then.
Entonces, si everyone bought the story that she burned it in the hotel room fire induced by a cigarette, why not dispense with the glove, get plastic surgery and be done with it. The glove thing has been creepy this whole novela, but then there wouldn't have been any other PRUEBA that she had dispatched Dan's parents.
Ah, the beanie-weenie of it all.

@Una Nrte:
I know that Eva has known about Marcela poisoning Don Julio for a long time. I just wanted to see her tell Leo that's why she won't marry him (just and excuse to beg off). I don't think Leo knows about Marcela's poisoning, so I thought it would be a funny way for Leo to find out.
Well - Eva will probably have even more excuses than that.
Tony is actually privy to a huge number of Leo's dirty dealings - like that Leo sent him to find Eva. Of course, Tony decided all by himself to harass and threaten Eva, so maybe he can't show Eva that card.

Actually - I believe that Leo will suffer his downfall at Tony's hands, so any threats Leo makes against Tony won't matter. Tony is just looking for an opportunity to get Leo. IMO

Thanks for all the great comments. I got confused last night when I saw the First Teresa add and thought oh no this is going to be my last recap. Then when they showed it again I realized it was going to air after Eva. So we still don't know when this will end.
Audrey I agree with you, about Tony taking Leo down. That look he had on his face last night when Leo was talking to him was pure hate.
Really clever how the writers picked George to be the one to listen into "the family secrets."
He has always hated Eva, and has been so loyal to Marcella. Maybe this will be his redemption. He really hasn't been that bad of a guy just blind.
I get a kick out of the fact Vicky is "pretending to be crazy" when in fact she is a raging lunatic. Laurita knows this so I think she will certainly outsmart Vicky at any attempts to do her harm.

Pata wonderful recap as usual.Thank you.A big thank you also goes to Elvira for yesterday's recap.
Ah! my people,see how much sense you are all making? The intelligent and well thought out comments,the pure common sense and drawing from everyday experiences? Sorry,the writers won't get the memo and we are going to be frustrated again tonight. Eva the crescent moon is still going to marry Leo based on goodness. The clueless Alicia is either going to become a concubine or dead and Tony is going to be accused of something. My initial thought was, he was brought back to keep an eye on the black widow mom.I am not so sure now. Vic is bipolar and will probably forget why she kidnapped Laurita and blame it on Eva. Let's hope we get surprised tonight.

good catch, nellie! That is a total disconnect...
regarding Tony, yes, he is just grabbing his cards to do a MAJOR double-cross on Leo when the time is right... and if he can do it while playing hero for Alicia, then he will get Alicia as a frosting on the cake prize... hmmm!

Martivett, I thought the same thing about Marcella knowing about Dan supposedly running over Eva's father. Maybe she just didn't know that it was Leo who was setting him up.
I also am a bit confused about the other night. I thought sure that Marcella had shot Bruno, but we didn't see that did we? Maybe she has other plans for him.

I, for one, do not want to see Tony get away without paying for his nasty behaviour. I fail to see any redeeming qualities in this jerk. He is a disgusting as the very first time we saw him with that lollipop in his mouth.
Spandex Alicia still does not know how Tony treated Eva when he was tracking her down for Leo and for himself. Just remembering the way Tony treated Eva makes me hope he will have to pay for his past actions.
Susanita...not so willing to forgive this jerk.

I 100% agree with you Susanita!!! I HATE Tony! He trys to act like he loves Alicia and has always cared about her but he is the biggest D-bag around. I hated him with that stupid lollipop and just remembering all the terrible things he has done and said I feel like he definitely has to pay. I don't know if anyone else remembers this but in the begining of the novella one of the girls Tony cheated/used for money held him up with a gun. I wish she would have used it lol okay maybe I'm over reacting..

I'm pretty sure that Marzilla threatened Daniel to testify against him for killing Eva's father-so our TN writers seem to have amnesia.
Wait. Did I miss an episode in the past two weeks? Because it's only been in the past two weeks that Dan found out about the accusation against him. Refresh my memory about the discussion and the location of the discussion when Marci threatened Dan with jail.
Vivi, it was at the very end of Fri march 18 episode where Marcella was threatening Dan after she found out he was going to Divorce Vicky. I think they replayed it on Monday as well because it was the very ending of the chapter. She said "I will invent what ever to make sure you rot in hell for the death of eva's father."

I think Pata is right, I am somehow remembering Marcella being surprised at hearing about Dan being in jail, at the time. She just didn't know Dan in turn was accusing Leo. (Remember, Dan didn't think of Leo being guilty until he was in Jail and had time to think.) Marcella has been a busy woman with other things.
So then, last night, Marcella heard Georgio telling Leo he hoped they both would be innocent. She didn't know Leo was even involved until then.
