Eva Luna #99 Fri 3/25/11 Never ask a raving lunatic to commit a double murder for you. Just ask Marcella to do it.
We start off with Laurita bound and gagged and crazy Vicky ranting and caressing her favorite means of persuasion, a gun.
Music man is talking to some one on the phone asking him what he thought about the disc he sent him. Our mystery man is interested but not if she already has a manager. Music man tells him her husband was interested but has no managerial skills. Mystery man wonders if music guy is interested in Marisol. He tells him yes but at this point all he wants is for her to be successful.
Eva is on the phone with Daniel telling him that Victoria has Laurita. She tells him she will meet him at the police station. She is telling Dan he doesn’t need to thank her. He knows how much she cares about Laurita and the important thing is to have her safe and sound.
Renata hands Eva the keys and asks her is she is sure she doesn’t want Armando to take her. Eva tells her she would rather go by her self. Renata tells Eva to call if she needs anything. Eva asks her to inform Tia and if Renata can remember anything to call her. Renata is very concerned as we see her praying to God not to let any thing bad happen.
We see Eva going to the car and her phone rings. She answers it saying “Daniel.” The voice on the other end is Vicky. She says she is going to tell her what she has to do as it depends on her if Laurita lives or not.
Julio is phone harassing Justa. He tells her they have lots to talk about tomorrow. He tells her to meet her some where. She tells him it is best if they don’t talk. She Finally gives in and says “It is fine, I need to see you as well” At this moment we see Ricardo looking sadly through the door frame as he hears her talking.
Tony has encountered Alicia at work. He insists she tell him what she was talking about yesterday at the house about believing Leo would marry her instead of Eva. She tells him that is what she thought yesterday but now she knows she was wrong. Tony says, “then you have finally realized that Leo had never really loved you.” She snots back “Yea I understand it.” Tony tells her he is doing the impossible to try and get her to realize that he (Tony) really loves her. Alicia tells him that will never happen. Tony is frustrated and can’t understand why she would tell him that when all he is trying to do is prove his love. Alicia says “That was all before.” Tony wants to know before what? She finally blurts out before she realized she was pregnant with Leo’s child. Tony is left speechless.
Tony can’t believe what Alicia is telling him. She tells him she is expecting a child and Leo is the father. He can’t understand how she would let things get to this point. Alicia tells Tony the truth “Because I never really thought this through very well. I have always been impulsive (and stupid) . Tony asks her if Leo knows. Alicia tells him he does. Tony wants to know what he said. Alicia tells him he doesn’t want her to have the baby. Tony wants to know what she plans on doing and she tells him she wants to have the baby, after all the baby isn’t to blame for her mistakes or Leos mistakes.
Tony approaches Alicia now and tells her she count on him completely for anything she needs. Alicia seems surprised to hear this and Tony says she and her baby can count on him for help. He tells her he is not just saying this for her to come back to him but because it is the truth. He tells him that she and her baby won’t be alone . They have him. Alicia gives him a grateful hug and we see a sincere Tony.
Eva has made it to the place where Vicky has Laurita. She enters a spooky looking building saying Victoria’s and Laurita’s names out load. She hears Luarita’s muffled screams and rushes to her side. She is quickly untying her asking if she is all right. Laurita tells her yes but Vicky is crazy. Just as she is almost finished getting her loose, A gun toting Vicky shows up screaming “Keep still or I will kill you both!!” Eva and Laurita are scared spitless.
Eva continues to crouch closely to Laurita while Vicky has the gun pointed directly at them. Eva is begging Vicky to put the gun done. Vicky is screaming and waving the gun at them telling Eva not to tell her what to do, because she is gong to be the one giving out orders. Laurita, crying fearfully hugs Eva saying “You came for me.” Eva is trying to comfort Laurita and Vicky starts ranting even louder. Eva tells her to let Laurita go. She promised she would let her go. Vicky screaming back and holding the gun closer now screams “I lied!!” as she cocks the gun.
Dan is talking to the detective at the police station. The detective wants to know when his daughter disappeared. Dan frantically tells him about a couple of hours. The detective isn’t convinced that she is in any danger. After all she ran away before. Dan tells him it is different this time because the person that took her is mentally unbalanced. He tells the detective that his daughters life is in danger.
Eva is now begging Vicky to calm down. She asks her what she thinks she will gain from all of this. Through rabid clenched teeth she tells Eva “I want Dan to know what it feels like to loose the thing he loves the most!!” as she points the gun at Laurita. Eva now frantic goes to shield Laurita begging her not to do this. She tells her that Laurita isn’t to blame for any of this and to let her go. Vicky is screaming she can’t stand the fact that Dan loves Laurita more than her and that is why she has never loved Laurita and why she wanted her away at boarding school. She continues that everything was going along just dandy until Eva returned “As Eva Luna, with all that she has and all she has become”
Eva is pleading with Vicky telling her she needs help. Vicky crazed tells her no one can help her because Dan wants to divorce her and he will never see Laurita again. Now both Laurita and Eva are pleading with her to stop. Vicky separates the two of them and throws Laurita on the bed still aiming her gun at Eva.
Deb is telling Julio that she hasn’t found out much else about her investigation. Julio agrees that Marcella has done a good job in covering up her tracks. Deb agrees and tells him if it wasn’t for the fact that she overheard her during her delirium, They would never had suspected anything. Julio says it will be very hard to prove her guilty of killing Dan’s parents after all this time. Deb tells Julio that she was just about to invite Marcella over to her house and try to find a way to casually bring up the subject. But backed out because she wasn’t certain what she would ask her. Julio warns her that she needs to be very careful with that woman because he knows that viper very well. She has killed many times before and what’s one more murder to her. And warns her again to be very careful.
Tony now kneeling in front of Alicia asks if she has told Eva. She tells him no but she will tell her before the wedding. Tony asks her if she thinks once Eva finds out if she would still want to marry Leo. Alicia tells him she hopes not. Tony asks Alicia if Leo were to ask her to marry him would she say yes: Alicia tells Tony this will never happen. Tony says “ But lets suppose that this does happen. Would you marry him/” Alicia pauses for a second then looks at Tony and says “Well yes.” Then she says “He is the father of my child. Tony.” He sadly stands and then quietly sits beside her.
Leo is asking the office girls if Eva is there. One of them tells him that she left a bit ago with Daniel. Leo wants to know where. The office girl seems surprised that Leo doesn’t know that his sister has disappeared with Laurita. Leo looks concerned.
Vicky is still aiming the gun at Eva when Eva’s phone starts ringing. Vicky screams at her to look and see who it is. Eva is frantically reaching for the phone and tells her it is Daniel. This gives Victoria a moment of pause as if she is thinking then says aloud but as if she were talking to herself “She told me this could happen.” Eva asks Vicky who is “she?” Vicky now grabbing Laurita and covering her mouth, and with the gun to her head tells Eva to answer it but be very careful with what she says.
We see Daniel on the other end telling her “Finally you answered. You had us all worried.” He asks her where she is. Eva trying to give clues answers “Yes I am fine.” Dan not quite so quick on the clues hasn’t picked up yet what Eva is trying to do. He tells her he is still waiting for her at the police station. Eva tells him she is really busy. Dan is finally figuring out something is fishy as Eva tells him she won’t be making it to the event. Dan asks where she is and Eva tells him that she has to go and pretends to turn off the phone. She places it beside her and we can see it is still on. Dan is just about to hang up when he hears Eva pleading with Vicky to let Laurita go. Vicky is screaming at Eva telling her not to tell her what to do.
Eva is screaming back that she promised to let Laurita go once she got there. Vicky reminds her that she was lying to her. She has done all of this just to deceive her.
Dan still listening in and now understanding the entire situation, puts the phone by the detective and points for him to listen quietly. Eva is able to give clues to her where abouts to Dan with Vicky being none the wiser. She screams it is the same place where Vicky had dropped her off before and just left her. Vicki has lost it and now points the gun right at Eva’s head telling her to shut up.
Laurita is screaming frantically as well now and Vicky turns back to her with the gun. Eva is able to turn the phone off and tries to hide it from Vicky. Dan now panicked as well, suddenly realizes he knows where Eva is. He tells the detective they need to leave now.
Vicky see’s the phone now and grabs it from Eva and throws it across the room then points the gun once more at Eva.
El Gallo is talking to Marcella about the commotion that was created when the dead bodies were found. He tells her all the papers are saying it was some type of drug deal gone bad (or something like that.) Marcella is delighted at the news. They both have a good laugh over the entire deal. He tells her he will return tomorrow and she says she will pay him what she owes him. She asks if there is any other news. He tells her there was something quite curious in the paper saying the young man’s real name was Bruno Mendoza and the real name of the young women was Azucena and not Rosaura. And it is doubtful that her people in Los Angels will ever find out what really happened. Marcella thinks that is a shame, she would have preferred that every one knew that those jerks were found dead. Then taking a drink says “ oh well, I have never boasted about what I have done before, and I am not going to start now.” (ni modo, como nunca he hecho alarde de lo que hago no lo voy a empezar hacer)
The madness continues back at camp crazy as Vicky is now tying up Eva and Laurita. Eva tells her she is really scaring them. Vicky now completely over the edge takes the gun and tells Eva to shut up. She is the one that is scared now because Dan wants to leave her. She backs up against the wall and as she crouches down cradling the gun says but this will never happen. Her look is one of total insanity.
Then she stands looking at both of them very strangely and quietly says “You are both very pretty” and walks over to the bed where Laurita is lying. Eva freaks and on her knees fearing for the worse rushes over to Laurita screaming at her. Vicky only reaches over to her purse and takes her phone out and leaves.
Leo is asking Renata where Eva is. She tells him that she is at the police station with Daniel to inform the detectives that Victoria took Laurita. This really ticks Leo off as he says “Why does it have to be her. This isn’t her problem.” Renata agrees and tells him the people that should really be worried about finding Vicky should be her mother and Leo. Leo snaps at her and says “ The only thing that is important tome right now is that Eva is not with Dan!!” He takes off in a huff.
Eva has managed to get her hands free and unties Laurita. We see Vicky outside talking to the mastermind of this whole crazy scenario. It is Lily. Vicky is saying to her “ Yes I have them both and that stupid Eva believes everything.” Lily says “Perfect. Now we have to put in operation the second part of the plan.”
Vicky wants to know exactly what she needs to do. Lily says “ Get Eva out of there and kill her, then later burn the house down with Laurita inside. Then you have to tell Dan that it was Eva’s plan to kill both of you. But you were able to escape.” Vicky says “But you will help me right?” Lily says “Of course my friend, I will make sure that Daniel will totally believe you.”
Eva and Laurita have managed to escape just before Vicky returns and finds them both gone. She has gone ballistic as she chases after them. They are now out of the house and hiding while Vicky frantically searches for them screaming “you will never be able to escape!!”
I will be very brief with this next bit and condense it like crazy. Sorry. Marisol is practicing her “music.’ Adrian informs her she has a visitor. It is a famous agent or something that wants to represent her. She agrees. Later when Fran comes home she tells him about it. He is all ticked off because he was suppose to be her manager. A fight ensues. Fran is disappointed that she wouldn’t at least consult him first. (Who really cares when we have crazy Vicky on the loose with loopy Lily at the helm.)
Vicky is still looking for Eva and Laurita when we hear police sirens. Drat says Vicky as she contemplates her escape route. Laurita is now begging Eva to forgive her for all the awful things she said to her before.
Eva protectively hugs Laurita and tells her not to worry about all that.
Tia is telling Renata how strange it is that Eva has called them yet. Renata is genuinely concerned as well. Tia hopes that Victoria won’t hurt Laurita and Renata hopes the same. Tia wonders why Victoria is so bad. First she kidnapped Pablito, now this. Renata understands why, although she isn’t “justifying” it she tells Tia that Victoria has been very unhappy for quite some time and has caused her to commit some crazy things.
The police have arrived with Daniel and he races out of the car to scoop up a Laurita in his arms. The detective asks Eva where Victoria is. Eva says when she heard the sirens she took off and she doesn’t know where she went. Dan is asking Laurita if she is okay and Laurita says thanks to Eva she is. Dan walks over to her and thanks her for letting them know where they were and for saving his child. He hugs her tightly.
Then we have a nice group hug.
Laurita is finally safe at home and Eva has tucked her in. Dan is waiting on the sofa. He tells her he doen’t know how to thank her. He tells her she put her life in danger to save his daughter. He tells her he will never forget it. Eva tells him that he knows how much she cares for Laurita, as if she were her own. And tells him not to forget the fact that Pablito is her half brother. So if she loved her before, now she loves her even more. He moves closer to her and tells her he doesn’t have the words to thank her for finding and retuning Laurita safe and sound to him. Eva seems a bit uncomfortable and tells him he has nothing to thank her for and gets up to leave. Dan begs her not to leave. She tells him she has to leave. Her family is waiting for her. Dan asks if she is because of her family or for Leo. She tells him for both.
Then she thinks for a second and asks him what he was talking about at the office before all this stuff with Laurita. “Something about some pictures?” He says “yes but please don’t try to hide it (disimules/conceal or hid) I know you were with Leo at the same time you were with me.” Eva says “That isn’t true. I told you before.” Dan tells her “I saw the pictures. They were intimate pictures.” Eva seems very confused now and says “What are you talking about?” Dan says “ I saw the pictures of you in bed with Leo. Eva has a very shocked look on her face.
Eva can’t believe what she is hearing. She asks if he is crazy. Dan tells her they were very explicit pictures. She was in bed with Leo. Eva is angry now and tells Dan she never went to bed with Leo. “How can I get you to understand!!!” Dan asks her then how can she explain what he saw. She doesn’t know, and asks him where he saw them. Who showed them to him. Dan tells her it was Leo. Again Eva seems quite shocked. She asks when. He tells her it was when she disappeared and he went looking for her at the mountain house and Leo showed them to him. Eva quite angry now, says it isn’t true and she will go talk to Leo about it right now to clear all this up. She takes off in a huff.
Marcella tells Renata that Leo told her about Vicky taking Laurita. Renata tells her that Eva just called and told her that Laurita is home safely. Marcella does a “humff” and asks Renata what happened with Vicky. Renata tells her she is now on the run from the police. Renata tells her she is very worried. Marcella snorts “For me, let them catch her and put her in jail for being an idiot.” Renata asks her how she could say such a thing. Marcella tells her it is the truth. “Victoria is no use to me for anything now.” Renata is crushed to hear this. Marcella continues “The stupid thing ruined her marriage by sleeping with Bruno.” Renata seems surprised to hear this. Marcella snorts “Don’t put on such a pious (mojigata) face.” “And now with this new crazy stunt, there isn’t a single court that won’t give Dan the divorce he wants. For now the plans that I have made to keep this fortunate are all ruined. She was stupid. At least I have one child I can trust in.” Renata asks her what she means. Marcella says “Very soon al the money that Julio left that stupid Eva will soon pass on to Leo’s name. Then later will be mine once again.” Renata is clutching herself in disdain as Marcella now pushes at the dishes and tells her to clean up the mess.
Dan is talking to the detectives asking about Victoria. He tells him they haven’t found her, but it is just a question of time. Dan tells him he hopes so, but he reminds him that Victoria is very sick and to be careful.
The detective tells him in the meantime to watch over Laurita and Eva very closely.
Eva has told Renata about her day. Renata is surprised to hear all that happened. She thought that Eva was with Dan at the police station all this time. That is what she told Tia and Leo. Eva than asks where Leo is. Renata tells her he was here for a while but left. Eva tells her when he returns she needs to talk to him. Eva tells her how relieved she is that Laurita is fine. Renata agrees and tells her that God is very powerful.
Eva tells her she has to go see her son now after all this awfulness and pleasantly says goodnight. Renata thanks God for preventing this tragedy and now asks that he will help clear up Vicky’s cluttered mind and that nothing bad will happen to her.
Leo is at the Lily pad. She is giving him a drink. She tells him that she doesn’t have any doubts now that Victoria is absolutely crazy. Leo agrees with her. Lily says that for her, it might not be such a bad thing if something happened to his daughter. After all she would be willing and able to console him. Leo tells her well that isn’t going to happen, because right now it is Eva who is consoling him at the police station. Leo doesn’t understand why Lily isn’t bothered by the fact that Eva is consoling Dan right now. Lily tells him that she is quite certain that from this point on there won’t be anything else going on between the two of them. Leo starts to leave but Lily tries to persuade him to stay FF>>>>>>
Eva Tia and Alicia are now discussing today’s event. Eva tells them that she thinks that someone is behind all of this and tells them about the conversation Vicky had with herself when Dan called “She told me this would happen.” They wonder who it might be. Marcella is eliminated from the list. Eva says it can’t be her.
They agree they don’t know who this person could be, but she has to be just as sick as Victoria if not worse.
Said sicko is talking to herself “By now Eva should be dead as well as Dan‘s daughter. Once I turn Vicy into the police, Dan will be all mine.” We hear a knock at the door. It is Victoria all in a panic.
Renata is thanking God for listening to her prayers. She says he knows how sorry she is for all the awful things she has done and now fully understands all the horrendous consequences. “I put my niece in Marcella’s hands. I robbed her from my sister and took away the identity of Victoria. That is why she is so bad. Help her God and enlighten her. I promise to complete what I said I would and confess everything I did and will take any punishment that I deserve. Victoria is just another victim of my mistakes and all they envy I had against my sister. Forgive me God and free Victoria from all this bad stuff.”
Lily is ticked off to learn that Eva and Laurita escaped. Vicky is freaked as well and tells her she doesn’t know how they got away, but when she left the room to go talk to her on the phone they got away. Then when she went to look for them the police arrived. Lily is even more freaked to hear the police were involved. Looney toons Vick tells her “Yes. I had to leave.” Lily is outraged that she would think to come to her place. Vicky whines, don’t worry, nobody followed her. Lily is now trying to get her out of her place all worried that she will be connected to everything. Vicky isn’t going anywhere. She tells her she has to help her. She is the only that can. Lily reluctantly agrees and tells her she knows where she can hide. She tells her to stay put until she gets everything arranged. (or something like that)
Justa is consoling a sad Marisol with tea and words of wisdom about love and marriage. FFF>>>>>>
Marcella is remembering her finest hour when she put two slugs into the thug Bruno. He pleads for his life in vain. We see El Gallo in the back of the room when the deed is done. She tells him to take care of the garbage and gives him a really creepy kiss on the lips. (Gross). She thinks to herself that she could have forgiven Bruno for the theft but the fact that he slept with Victoria was unforgivable.
Eva is waiting for Leo. She asks him where he has been. He says in a ticked off tone “That’s the same question I have for you. I haven’t heard anything from you since this afternoon.. Then he tells her Renata told him she left to go see Daniel.” Eva now with Arms crossed and ticked herself says “That was the idea until your sister held me hostage.” Leo is shocked to hear this. Eva tells him that Victoria called her and told her she had to come to where she was. She threatened me and said If I didn’t come she would hurt Laurita. I swear we would have been killed if it wasn’t for Daniel arriving with the police.” Leo ‘s anger has subsided as he approaches Eva and takes a hold of her arm to console her saying “I didn’t know any of this. Are you okay my love?” Eva pulls away from him and says yes. He asks about Vicky. She tells him she ran off and the police are looking for her. Again he approaches her and tries to comfort her. Eva looks repulsed.
She disengages herself from him and turns to face him and says “You need to explain something to me.” Leo tells her “Anything.” She asks “What are those pictures that you showed Dan?” Leo says “what pictures?” Eva retorts, “I don’t know but Dan says you have pictures of you and me in bed.” We end on that note.

There are just a few things I want to note right now. One is that apparently the date of the last episode of "Eva Luna" will be Monday, April 11. At least, that's what they announced tonight. So we have just a day more than two weeks to go.
I had the feeling after tonight's episode that Renata may not be long for this world. She made the mistake of being present when a rather drunk Marcela talked about how Victoria's stupidity has screwed up her [Marcela's] plans to get back her fortune from Eva, and thank God she [Marcela] has a more capable son. I suspect that Marcela is not so drunk that she won't remember having said all this in Renata's presence, and she will probably therefore want to eliminate her.
I was a bit surprised that Alicia told Tony about her pregnancy, and that Tony was so supportive. Arrgh--it really looks as if he may be a candidate for redemption after all.
Also, it looks as if Dan finally has a witness who can support his claim that Leo killed Eva's father. The avances show Giorgio telling Dan the conversation he overheard between Marcela and Leo, and when Dan asks him whether he'd be willing to testify, he says yes. Yay!! (Unless, of course, that marks him for death as well.)
Alicia is messed up!! That girl needs some serious counseling. I felt back for Laurita, the kidnapping scenes were tense and scary, she will be traumatized for life, unless she gets some counseling too.
As I'm typing this my husband came from behind my chair and started touching my face with his right hand, he was wearing a soft black glove.. I freaked!
That is hysterical, Rossana! My husband makes fun of the TNs, too.
I think we have candidates for a witness protection program, Renata, Georgio. I hope Renata has the sense to spill her knowledge of what she has heard, quick. Marzilla was already up to something last night.
Alicia is a target, too. I wonder if Tony will finally pull that foto (of Leo and Eva) out of a hat to show Alicia, Tony thought Eva and Leo were really getting it on as I recall. I doubt if Tony will want the way open for Alicia to marry Leo, so he may not encourage her to tell her sister.
Will miss the TN. I hope Teresa has CCs...
Emarie ITA with you about Tony, if he spills the beans about the photo, Alicia and Leo might have a chance of getting back together, although I don't think Leo will want Alicia even after Eva dumps him. Alicia is stil very early in her pregnancy there is the possibility she may lose the child somehow, but if for miracle she has the baby and Leo is dead by the end of the soap, her child will inherit Leo's share of the company, am I right?
The scene that left me with mix feelings was the one were Renata was praying, she was blaming herself for what happened to Vic and asked for forgiveness from God, making Vic sound like a victim. Although she is partially right, its hard for me to see Vic as such. Vic has done so much evil! Do you think by the end of the soap we will be feeling sorry for her just like some of us are feeling for Tony right now? ugh!! I don't like this at all. I still can't forget how mean Tony can be at times. ITA with Juanita too.
ITA the way TN's let their females off the hook because they are loca. TN's villianesses go crazy often with rage, and everyone around them declares them no longer responsible for their actions. Probably will be the case here, though, but will end up in a psych facility.
How is Leo going to weasle out of this one? The only way I can see is that he will claim Dan is lying to turn Eva against him. Then Eva will actually have to see a photo to know Leo is lying.
April 11 finale. Two weeks and one day to wrap it all up!
Audrey
A case could be made that Victoria is a victim of Queen Snooki's manipulations, at least in part--let alone Renata placing her in that siutation in the first place. So I'm not hating on Renata praying for her and for forgiveness...but I am definitely thinking that Renata's days are numbered.
As for Bruno...the show makes us wait two episodes just to see him get shot? And he doesn't get shot in the knees first, or the junk, and Marcie doesn't unload half a clip into him? Booooo!
===========
Bill C. --"As for Bruno...the show makes us wait two episodes just to see him get shot? And he doesn't get shot in the knees first, or the junk, and Marcie doesn't unload half a clip into him? Booooo!" I'm still ROFLOL from this! No fair!
Giorgio needs to talk to a cop ASAP.
ITA about Renata; she is marked. And Alicia is the most stupid person on the planet.
ITA the casting in this TN was very good, the characters fit the parts. The writing I think has been un poco uneven, but we will see how they will resolve things.
Renata is going to pay a heavy price, I hope they have her spill her beans before they eliminate her.
I wonder what Tony is going to do. Perhaps he will get rid of Leo-you can see the story has been building to a confrontation there.
I have been in Dominican Republic for a week so missed alot. They dont show Univision where I was.
Did anyone see the previews? They went so fast Im not sure what was in them. Seemed like a woman walked thru a door. Was it Victoria?
Kalum
I thought I had understood this episode pretty well, but your detailed account helped me see a lot that I had missed.
I'm glad you cut out most of the Fran/Marisol scenes. Like you, I'm really tired of that subplot. In fact, I've been pretty bored with it from the start. I do like Marisol and suspect that she and Gerardo will wind up together. As for Francisco...blech! Poor Jackie is likely to wind up with him and be happy about it. Oh well....
I thought for a few seconds that Alicia was finally growing up when she acknowledged to Tony that most of what she does is impulsive and stupid. Silly me. She then goes on to say that yes, if Leo asks to marry her, she'd marry him. Duh? What kind of marriage does she think she'll have? Oh, I forgot, she doesn't think.
How will Leo get out of the picture thing? It's too soon for him to be unmasked to Eva isn't it? We have more than two weeks to go.
I agree that Alicia's level of stupidity knows no bounds. That girl should not be in a relationship with anybody. I shudder to think of her as a mother. After all Leo has said and done to her, she would marry him if he asked her!!! When an abusive, blackmailing thug is making wiser decisions than you are, then you know you're in trouble. I could see Tony not wanting Eva to dump Leo so that there is no chance of Leo and Alicia getting together (not like it would happen anyway, but Alicia hasn't seemed to figure that out). For me, if Tony is to be redeemed in any way (and I don't think total redemption is possible with him), he would have to unmask Leo and all his schemes to Eva and Dan.
And I actually like Francisco and Marisol and Jackie's story, as admittedly mundane as it is now (versus how it started, let alone just about everything else on the show). Francisco still needs to choke down a big slice of humble pie before Jackie should accept him, but the idea of him and Marisol simply trying and failing to make a relationship work with nearly zero interference from external factors that aren't named Damian is so...un-novela-like.
I want Lily and Leo exposed but I know its too soon. My consolation is that they will do down...Big Time. It will also be interesting to see how how Gallo gets revealed and what punishment Marci gets.
I'm concerned both Renata and Deb won't make it.
I am surprised that Renata is showing so much remorse, that one really surprised me.
Only 11 episodes until Marcela, Leo, Lil, Icky get theirs, I can hardly wait.

I have really enjoyed this novella alot more than I ever thought I would. I wasn't going to even recap at first, and then only said I would do it till Christmas. Glad I stayed on board. It has been so much fun being a part of this.
Here's my list of favorite characters to love: Dan of course.
julio next, except lately I don't like him being so pushy with Justa.
Than Eva, but don't like her blind side towards Leo. Both kids Larita and Adrian equally are adorable. Deb, I wish they would have introduced her sooner, I really liked her in Dinero and like her character here as well.
I adore Ricardo, he is such a gentleman.
I like Jacky but don't understand her attraction to Fran.I have really been enjoying Renata lately, especially with her big turn around. I think she started to change after the plate throwing incident with Eva.
My favorite villians; El Gallo, there is something deadly charming about him. Vicktoria, didn't like her so much in the begining but she is so fun to watch doing all this crazy stuff. I think it is the eyes. Marcella, she is scary but so pure evil. I know I am in the minority here, but I have always liked Tony. Even though he is a "Bad boy" and has done nasty things he has this disarming charm and he truly belongs with Alicia.
Least favorite villians. Leo he is just plain creepy to watch. Lilly, can't wait till she gets her fitting end: Damain, could have done without him and glad his bit is over.
Never really got into the whole Marisol Fran story line. Don't get the ricardo/Julio lust for Justa either. Alicia has just been plain stupid, but the actress playing her has done a great job at portraying such an airhead. So glad Bruno is out of the way!!
I do like Giorgio and hope he does come through for us.
So all in all this has been a blast and I am feeling a little sad that I only have two more recaps to go, but I will be here till the end, unless of course Marcella puts a hit out on me first.
Great episode. Thanks writers..
Hanna
Thanks for this weekend recap, I was so suprised to see it go up on Sat. Anyway thanks to all the recappers out there who've had a hand in recapping this TN for those of us who don't speak Spanish very well. Much Thanks
I was glad to see Eva was the one to save Laurita I was wondering how they where going to mend that fence, between those two. Pata thank you for the sweet family photo of Dan, Eva, and Laurita in the Hug.
I just don't know about Alicia's, I cant even think what's going though her head. She still wants Leo after that last arguement they had.
I'm truely going to miss this TN and it's charters except for Leo and Lililech.

ITA that Lilly has to go a long and slow painful way...
Vicky... well, i would easily redeem her except for Susana's face issue...
Thanks for doing double-duty on recaps--something we all always appreciate! There was a lot of suspense and throughout it all you kept us interested and waiting for what came next. I am so glad you decided to keep recapping with us and glad you've enjoyed it.

Viola: Welcome. ITA that Renata's character has been more restrained. I don't feel completely comfortable with her turning a new leaf, but there always has to be some of that in these things. It's always interesting to see which ones are redeemed, which are sacrificed and which ones are dispensed to find their just deserts in "el otro mundo". IMHO Renata still needs to go to prison for kidnapping or get offed trying to save one of the other characters.
