Caray, Caray!

Dan is in Eva’s office asking about Alicia. She is ignoring him and putting away things in the office as she rudely answers “She is much better thanks. Now if you could just leave, I have a lot of things to do.”

Clueless Dan asks her “What’s the matter, why are you so short all of a sudden?” Eva turns to face him and says “Your seriously asking me this?” Eva walks over to him and angrily says “Every time I start trusting you I end up being hugely disappointed!!” Dan still clueless tells her he doesn’t know what she is talking about. Eva walks away from him and tells him not to act so innocent. He tells her he doesn’t know what she is talking about. Eva asks “Who did you sleep with last night?” Dan says “What are you saying?” Eva replies “Are you going to deny that you slept with Lilly?” Dan tells her he doesn’t know where she got that idea and yes there is something I want to explain to you.” Eva cuts him off and says “I know exactly what I saw.” Dan asks her what did she see.. Eva tells him “Your dear Lilly called me last night and asked me to come over to talk.” Dan says “Talk about what.” Eva “A topic very important, woman to woman. And when I got there Jacky sent me to her room and I saw you in her bed” Dan is bugged eyed.


Jacky is chewing Fran out for telling the gardener that she had a dark secret past and that the men who go out with her suddenly disappear and if he goes out with her he will also disappear. Fran tries to deny this and Jacky calls him a liar.

Oh I forgot about this part, Leo is choking the life out of Lilly. She manages to free herself and tells him to never put a hand on her again. Tempers are flaring as Leo says waving his finger angrily in her face “Do you think you are looking at the face of an idiot? Nobody betrays me Lilly!!!!” (This looks like an angry idiot’s face to me.)


Lilly pushing his hand aside tells him she had nothing to do with what crazy Vicky did. Leo walks away from her as Lilly continues to say that Vicky is out of her mind and is talking pure nonsense . He asks her where did Vicky come up with the story about the place Lilly had her hid out at. Lilly overacting denies this and tells Leo she is incapable of doing such a thing. Then she tells Leo that Vicky is worse off than she thought. Leo tells her he doesn’t believe her one bit.

Fran is apologizing to Jacky and tells her he didn’t think she really wanted to go out with that guy. Jacky tells him he is really dumb and she’s not upset because of that. She is upset because he will never mature. Then she says how could she ever forget that he was an expert in lying and starts to walk away. Fran tells her not to leave. She asks if he wants her to stay so he can keep lying to her? He tells her the only thing he wants to do is beg her forgiveness. He tells her she was right he told the guy all that stuff.

Renata tells Justa that she has something very serious to tell her. Justa doing the suffering women bit tells her she hopes she didn’t come over to talk about Julio again. She tells Renata that story is over with for good. She doesn’t want to even talk about the subject. Renata tells her she understands she doesn’t want to know anything about Julio but she is wrong. The story between her and Julio is not over. Justa shaking her head tells Renata the person who is wrong is her. Their story is in the past. She tells she is living happily in the present with Ricardo and Adrian. Then she tells Renata not to take it the wrong way but it would be best if she leaves. Poor Renata tells her it has already been 20 years in the making and it is now time for her to know the truth.

Dan must have told Eva what happened the night before to his understanding. He tells her he doesn’t know how he ended up in Lilly’s bed. Eva looks at him and asks if he thinks she is so stupid as to believe such an outrageous thing. Dan tells her it may sound crazy but it is the truth. He tells her he has been trying to figure it out and the only thing he can think of is the drink was stronger than he thought and since he was so tired he lost consciousness. Eva smarts back “ Oh and for certain she put you in her bed and took advantage of you? You poor thing.” Than she slams her hand down on the table and says “Look Dan you don’t even believe that!!” Dan tells her he’s not saying that is what happened but he doesn’t know what happened. Eva now standing and very ticked off says “I saw you two together and no one can tell me differently, and later Lilly told me that you two were in a relationship.” Dan tells her she was lying and he doesn’t know why she would say that and he is going to go ask her right now. He storms out looking for Lilly and we can almost see dragon fire flaming out of Eva’s nose.


Lilly now acting all hurt approaches Leo and sweetly asks him how he could think such awful things about her. She attempts to touch his face and Leo pulls away with anger and tells her he doesn’t trust anyone. She calls him unjust and from the start she has done nothing that would cause him to distrust her. He tells her he believed that but once he talked to Vicky, and Lilly interrupts him telling him Vicky is a liar and a manipulator. And that he is all confused because of her crazy antics. The only thing Vicky is doing is looking for justification for all the crazy stuff she has done so everyone will forgive her and continue to believe her. Leo pauses for a moment to think this over. He tells her he doesn’t know which one of the two of them is trying to justify their actions.

Lilly calls him obstinate (terco/ obstinate or stubborn) and says his sister is sick in the head and all she wants to do is hurt every one and nothing has been going right for her. For some reason (I might have missed something) Leo jumps up and grabs Lilly by the throat and tells her if she dare put a finger to Eva she will pay for it. Lilly pulls away again and tells him she would never do anything against Eva because she knows how significant Eva is for him. She tells him “And to prove it you need to know I achieved what I promised I would do.” Leo asks her what? She tells him she made Daniel think they made love. Leo seems impressed by this and asks her how she accomplished that. She tells him the same way he made Eva believe she slept with him in the cabin. “I learn fast.”

Jacky wants to know why Fran lied. What did he get out of lying and making sure the gardener took off. Fran shuffles a bit and says So that he would leave and not ask her out again. Jacky tells him she didn’t know it mattered so much to him that she was going to go out with some one else. He tells her it does matter to him. She asks him how come? Fran gets very close and touches her face and tells her “Even though you don’t believe this I worry about you and don’t want you to go out with just any old gardener type.” Jacky scoffs and sarcastically tells him “Thanks, but I can take care of myself.” Fran tells her the only thing that guy was looking for was “Well you know” and this sends Jacky off the edge as she tells him to stop interfering in her life and angrily storms off.

Fran is left scratching at his head saying “I sure put my foot in that one.” as Adrian and Laurita come out from hiding and Laurita says “Ya think?” Fran asks if they heard everything. They both stand their looking quite guilty as Fran calls them little gossips.



Fran turns from them and still scratching his head says “Now what do I do? How do I fix this?”


Leo is asking Lilly if Eva saw them. She tells him everything was perfect. Eva opened the door and saw her in bed with Dan and he should have seen her face. Leo looks very pleased. He now gets closer and has changed his tone as he sweetly asks her to tell him more. Lilly continues and tells him she acted really embarrassed and went after Eva and told her that her and Dan were in a relationship. Leo now kisses her sweetly and asks if Eva believed her. (I am gagging bile her) Lilly tells him of course. She swears that Eva left convinced that Daniel cared for her (Lily). Leo congratulates her and tells her that her plan went great even better than his plan at the cabin. He kisses her again and tells her that anyone that ever saw the pictures from the cabin would believe that they made love. He tells her it was a great plan but she is much braver than him She asks him now if he has any doubts in her. He tells her now that she has achieved her goal not to let any thing go wrong. They have to play their cards smartly now. She tells him that he can count on the fact that her and Dan will get married. Even if she has to ask him. He tells her the only thing that matters is that Dan marries her.

Renata and Justa are now sitting down as Renata turns to her and tells her she is responsible for her misfortune (desdicha .) She is responsible for all her pain and nightmares. Justa looks very confused and asks “My nightmares what are you trying to tell me?” Renata says “You were right. Your child wasn’t stillborn like I made you believe. Your child was born alive.” Justa’s eyes bug out as her jaw drops.


Lily goes to Dan’s office. She asks him if he has remembered the wonderful night that they had together yesterday. She slinks over to sit beside him and Dan quickly gets up and tells her no. She tells him she hopes it gets through his cloudy mind soon because for her it was a great night. Dan tells her he thinks she doesn’t have it very clear about what happened last night either. Lilly looks puzzled and asks why he would say that. He tells her he just talked to Eva and she told him that she (lily) called and asked her to come over to the house so she could see them together.

Renata tells Justa that she did hear her baby cry when she was born and that she lied to her telling her she was stillborn. Justa having a difficult time with this news asks her why she would do such a thing. Renata tells her so she could steal her baby. Justa quickly stands and moves away from Renata. She tells her she took her to that clinic to help Marcella with her plan. She tells her that neither one of them wanted her to have Julio’s baby. And they teamed up to take it away from her. Poor Justa is stumbling around in disbelief. She turns and asks her how she could do something like that to her, her sister. She tells her it was because she was jealous of her and hated her because she had Julio’s love and wanted to hurt her. Justa now in full out rage asks “Where is my daughter!”

Said daughter is visiting the family Mafioso. She is asking for his help. She needs a fake ID and a car so she can go visit her murderous mama in prison. He smiles and tells her to sit on down.

Lilly tells Dan it is true. Eva came to the house and saw them together in bed. Dan looks dumbified as he asks her why she never told him any of that. Lily tells him she forgot. Dan says “For gods sake Lily, you left the bed and went to talk to Eva, and even told her we were in a relationship.” Lily with a straight face tells him “Yes I told her that, and do you know why? Because we just finished making love. And that’s what I believed.” Dan now trying to sort this out says “ Did you plan all this out for her to see us together in bed.” Lilly acting all offended says “Of course not!!” Dan then says “How could you forget to tell me something that important?” She tells him it was because she was so upset that he didn’t remember anything that happened the night before and she was very disillusioned and hurt she goes to say “Excuse me for not thinking to tell you about Eva at that moment.” She says “If you really think I could do something like that than maybe it’s best if you kick me out of your house. You shouldn’t have any problems in doing that.” and she leaves acting all the injured party. Dan isn’t looking any smarter at this moment as he watches her leave.

Renata is continuing her sage with Justa. She tells her she gave her baby to Marcella. Justa just about has a stroke as she says “That woman? What did she do with my baby? If she hurt her I am capable of..” and Renata stops her and says “No she raised her as if she were hers.” She tells her Victoria is her daughter.
Justa says “Your telling me my daughter is Victoria Arismendi?” Renata confirms this as the melodrama gets very thick. Then she tells her she is the only one responsible for how things turned out. Because she took her from her and permitted Marcella to raise her in her likeness. (criara a su semejanza)

Back to Fran and his cohorts. Adrian asks if his face hurts from Jacky slapping him. Laurita says Jacky is mad at him. Adrian says she is really mad. Fran tells him he can’t give up now and the kids urge him on and their little plan continues. He has to let her know he cares for her and he hopes she doesn’t turn him down. (This was a cute little scene with the kids trying to build up his confidence to go after Jacky.)


Vicky gets in her new car and is off to see mama. In the meantime. Justa is justifiably going off on Renata. She says “You destroyed my life and that of my child and all for hate and for spite and hate that I don’t deserve.” Renata says “I know and I understood it the day they told us you died in the earthquake. The guilt I had to endure with all I had done but I didn’t have any other choice. And Julio loved Victoria as if she were his daughter so I decided to keep quiet for ever. Until the day I saw you alive than all my regrets returned and since than I haven’t been able to sleep in peace.” Justa turns to her and asks her pleadingly “Where is my daughter now? I want to see her. I want her to know that I am her mother.” Renata tells her she was at Julio’s place but she left.

Cue Victoria who is on her own road towards the truth.


(I know I am one of the few Tony fans out there, but I thought this was the best part of the night. “sweet” bad boy Tony versus “monster” bad boy Leo. You know who I am rooting for.) Tony enters Leo’s office.
He says he was told that Leo wanted to talk to him. He tells him to close the door. Tony asks him what he wanted. Leo tells him he wants to talk about his future. Tony says “My future?” Leo tells him he is going to tell him what he needs to do if he wants to keep on living. Tony gives him the look.


Vicky is escorted to the visitors room at the prison and timidly sits down at Marcella’s table. She doesn’t seem all that excited to see Vicky as she says “I knew it was you. It is about time you showed up.” She says “Even though I knew Claudia Jimenez was dead, only you could come up with taking that name to hide under.” Vicky tells her that El Gallo helped come up with the fake identity.” Marcella asks her why she came.

She tells her to clear up something. Leo told her she was adopted and she wants her to tell her that it isn’t true. Marcella looks at her with disdain as she says “ And here I thought you came to help me and to offer understanding.” Vicky is crying and says “tell me it isn’t true. Tell me I am your daughter” Marcella looks smug as she says to her “Leo was right . You are not my daughter.’

Vicky is still crying as she says she can’t be adopted. “I know I am your daughter and you are my mother.” Marcella stares at her with the eyes of a cold hearted murderer (Oh yea she is one)


She continues “I am not and I don’t care that you know.” Vicky is weeping and says “You are only saying this because you are mad at me. You can’t forgive me because I stepped out on Dan and now he wants a divorce. Right?” Marcela tells her she is right “I will never forgive you for that stupid act for two reasons. First, you messed up our plan to get all of Dan’s money and secondly because you had no right to mess around with Bruno.” Vicky looks truly shocked and a bit frightened as Marcella continues “Do you know why? Because he was my lover.’ Vicky’s eyes bug out at hearing this.


Marcella says “ He betrayed me with you!! And you have disappointed me over and over again.!!” Vicky is begging her not to say that to her. Marcella tells her if she were her true daughter she would have been able to carry out her plan. She would have been able to do exactly what she was told to do. What ever was necessary to finish off Eva the enemy. She would never had a trembling hand when it came time to pull the trigger. She would never have messed up so many times. Victoria is sobbing at hearing this.

Tony asks Leo what all the threats are about now. Leo tells him he knows what they are. He says “I know you went to talk to Eva. And asked her to forgive you for the stuff you did to her in the past and you told her you love Alicia.” We have a stare down as Tony says “ Yes I did. All of that is true. So what?”
Leo tells him he better not tell her about the little job he had him do for him because he will finish him off if he does. He bumps him insolently as he walks away. Tony says “Now that you called on me to talk about all this Leo I will take advantage of the little trip.” Leo says “talk” Tony starts talking about how Leo drugged Eva and put her in bed nude and took photos of her and does he think he is still afraid of him? Leo says and why aren’t you. Tony tells him it is because he is now the one making the threats. Leo looks at him and says You against me? Tony tells him “Yes, Me against you. And Now I will be very direct and clear!!”

Marcella tells Victoria she is nothing to her. She is nothing but a bastard product from one of her fathers little adventures with a common office assistant. Vicky asks her what is she talking about. Marcella tells her not to even think about asking who it is because she will never tell her. She continues “The name of this woman repulses me and now I hate you as much as I hate her.” Poor Vicky is now mumbling between sobs as she says “ Mama you are killing me.” Marcella tells her she is just as fragile and insignificant as her (Justa,) she says “I don’t love you. You are stupid” She gets up to leave rudely as poor Vick is left to suffer one more disastrous rejection. (I’m felling pretty sorry for her right now and think she’s almost more than paid up for the whole acid in the face incident.)

Leo is now wrestling with Tony and tells him not to dare threaten him. Tony tells him “For Alicia I am capable of doing that and much more!!” Leo says “All of this has to do with her?” Tony screams in his face “Yes because I love Alicia. I am warning you Leo don’t you dare get close to her and don’t you dare try to hurt her unborn child.” Leo screams back “You don’t scare me with your threats. You got that!!!” Tony says “If you do anything to hurt her or anything to hurt her baby, Daniel will find out that it was me who he was going to see that day for the auto part because you paid me to do it.” Leo backs down a bit at hearing this. Tony says “Do you know what will happen with Eva? She will receive those pictures that you took of her in bed when you drugged her and took all her clothes off. I swear that this time I am not playing around!!” Leo is really giving all this some deep thought. Now it is Tony’s turn to put the finger to the face as he tells Leo to watch out as he begs his leave.


The next scene is really cute but I am going to condense it. Adrian and Laurita are trying to convince Jacky to take them out to some cool new restaurant. We see Fran occasionally peaking around the corner in hopes that she will agree. She waivers back and forth.

Julio is talking to Dr. Garcia awaiting news about Vicky. In walks Renata with Justa right behind. Julio is quite startled to see Justa there.

So we were all on pins and needles to hear what Giorgio was going to reveal to Eva. What a let down. It was nothing more than how he has figured out that Marcella was more than likely responsible for the deaths of Bruno and what’s her name. FF>>>>

Justa is begging Julio to help her find Vicky. Julio tells her that he only just found out that Victoria was their daughter. Renata tells Julio that Justa knows everything. That she has kept this secret for many years and that she needs to tell them both something. She tells them that she is ready to pay for what she has done. She tells them to call the police and charge her with this crime. Julio says “You can’t pay for all the damage that you caused us with just that. And for me I think God should be in charge of your punishment” as he snarls at her. Justa turns to Renata and says acidly “Me too.” Julio now totally fed up with Renata asks Dr. Garcia to take her home.

Leo is having a flashback about the whole “Drug Eva, take off her clothes, get in bed and do some self portraits. He also is remembering giving Tony the memory card and asking him to get the pictures but don’t look at them. He also is remembering his prior little discussion with Tony threatening him about showing Eva the pictures. None of this is sitting very well with Leo as he takes a drink from his glass and hurls it across the room saying “I swear I will kill you Tony.”

Giorgio is still going on about his theory about Marcella . They even figure out how she could get back and forth from LA to Miami. FF>>

Adrian and Laurita are still trying to convince Jacky to take them out. I think she is about to bite. Fran is still hanging around the corner and is almost caught a couple of times. The kids have worn her out telling her if she goes she will be very happy. She finally gives in and agrees. We see a very elated Fran in the background as the kids are about to whisk her off.


We get a silly little happy dance from Fran once they have all left to get ready.


Julio and Justa alone at last. Julio says “ Who would have had thought that at the end of our story of love we would bear fruit.” Justa smiles and says “yes and it is the most precious. And you at least got to be close to her.” Julio tells her that he wouldn’t deny he was very fortunate to be so close to her. But truthfully he would rather have had it been with her beside him. Justa says well of course that would have been the best, but now what is important is that God is giving them the chance to rescue her. To help her. Face all her mistakes and start her life a new.

Deb is talking with Alicia and tells her she is happy to see her feeling better. We have some Mother daughter bonding. Deb is all excited that she is about to be a grandmother.

Julio is calling the police station to see if they have any news about Victoria. They have nothing to tell him.
Justa is about to leave and tells Julio she will go to Eva and Daniel and ask them to drop the charges against Victoria. Julio says he was thinking about that as well and that they should go together. Justa is now remembering when she first saw Vicky at the pension. She tells him she felt a great unexplainable emotion. But now she understands what it was. Julio says :It was “the voice of the blood.”

Justa says that is what it was. Julio tells her that from the first moment that Marcella brought her to the house and he had this tiny baby in his arms he felt a great love for her. And he soon forgot that she was adopted and always felt like she was his own daughter. At that moment we hear a sharp shrill “Papa”. Justa drops her purse as Victoria comes running to Julio.

She is crying and asking him to tell her who her real mother is. Dramatic music ensues as Victoria suddenly notices Justa standing behind her.

Deb is begging Alicia to tell her who the father of her child is. Alicia is crying and tells Deb if she tells her she can’t tell anyone. She is just about to spit it out when Eva comes waltzing in. Well that will have to wait till later.

Julio is asking Victoria how she found out. Who told her the truth. She tells him Leo told her she was adopted and later Marcella told her she was certainly not her daughter. Julio asks her if she went to see Marcella? Vicky tells him that Marcella told her she was his daughter with another woman. She wants to know if this is true. Julio tells her it is true but he didn’t know any thing about it until Renata told him what she had done. Victoria wants to know what Renata had to do with any of this. Julio tells her she will find out soon enough. He turns her to face Justa. Victoria stares for a few seconds and tells her she thinks she knows her. She has seen her before. Justa tells her “yes we met once at the pension when Eva introduced us. Victoria is trying to think this all through and has the little flashback of when she met Justa at the pension. Now Vicky freaks a bit and asks if Eva is there as well. Julio assures her she isn’t there. She asks him “Then why is this woman here?” Julio finally tells her that Justa is her real mother. We have exchanged looks. Victoria still very confused and Justa very hopeful.

And that’s where we end with my last Eva recap. It has been a great pleasure to be your Wednesday evening recapper.
