Teresa Mon 5/30/11 #67 Flirting with Disaster
Recap by Sandy
After a morning of shopping “frenzy,” Teresa sits down in a coffee shop and reads her favorite local luminaries magazine. Oh no! The headline on her wedding coverage reads, “ Scandal at the Wedding of the Prestigious Lawyer, Arturo de la Barrera.” The article follows with the question, “Who is this bride who is debating between two lovers?” Teresa is very impactada!
Aida, at home with her mother, reads said story finding it funny, if not down right hilarious. Genoveva told her that she had good press contacts, but Aida never imagined that the story would be so fabulous! “How could this idiot think that she could get a good start (el pie derecho) with the right people?”, asks Aida. Mayra assures Aida that Teresa deserves this bad press, but she would die if there were any coverage about herself. Mayra will never feel comfortable till this woman disappears. She worries that her new arrangement with Ruben will not work, she’s concerned that he will return to this woman. Aida tells her that she has to be sure and strong in front of her father, she cannot show weakness. This woman might be young, but she is low class (naco) and is worthless. In a loving mother, daughter moment, Mayra hugs Aida and tells her to keep saying these good things because when she looks in the mirror, she sees a woman who has been left for one much younger.
Back at the cafe Teresa continues reading the article, “In one moment the bride was obliged to choose between the two lovers. The well-known (renombrado) Licenciado almost lost the wedding to the consternation of the best of his associates.” Teresa rips apart the magazine asking why Mariano did this to her and then says, “Why can’t I take you out of my life?”
De la Barrara casa: Luisa is asking Fernando how his meeting went....just fine. Luisa tells him that she doesn’t plan to come over to spend the night, because......Arturo has just arrived early from his honeymoon for a work matter and knows that Luisa spent the night with him. Our little womanizer ponders the impact of this information.
La Vencidad: Hector and Juana are walking down the sidewalk. We hear him saying that he needs to talk to her about something that is very important. As luck would have it, Cutberto and Griselda are walking toward them giggling and canoodling together. Hector recognizes Cutberto as the man in Juana’s room previously and greets the happy lovers. Juana is impactada, we see the surprise in her eyes and then the two couples’ dueling hugs and protestations of love begin. Juana, hanging lovingly on Hector’s neck remarks that within the vecindad there is no privacy for a lover’s discussion. Not to be outdone Cutberto says, “I would love to present you with the future mother of my children!” With that announcement he wins the duel. We gasp, Juana stares and Griselda coos. “Mucho gusto” all around with Cutberto telling Griselda that he is always joking around.
In the hospital, Aurora touches the medical pin given to her by Mariano to comfort her at the loss of her patient. She places it on her white hospital jacket. The pin has helped her come to terms with the loss of her patient, but we can see on Aurora’s face, she still needs to work harder to forget Mariano. Her cell phone rings and it is Martin with good morning wishes. This gives her some strength and she takes her medical pin off and puts on the bracelet that Martin gave her. We notice that she is still a little sad, she has Martin as a novio, but she still has feelings for Mariano.
Dum-de-Dum-Dum!! Arturo is scanning his bills, opening his credit card statement. It is very long with many, many charges. ¡Como no! He calls Reina and asks her to have Teresa come to the library immediately when she arrives home! (We hear a funeral dirge.)
Aurora and Mariano are walking the halls of the hospital while she asks, “With all the conversations that we have had, how could you have tried to stop Teresa’s wedding?” Mariano doesn’t understand it either and asks her to forget it! She continues asking about what he told her, that Teresa planned to escape with him, “Were those your plans?” He asks her to please leave it alone, he doesn’t want to talk about Teresa. She prods using a different tactic, doesn’t he trusts her? He’s uncomfortable and doesn’t want to talk about, let’s talk about something else! She asks him if the reason that he won’t tell is because he feels that Teresa is still her best friend. No, it isn’t that, he tells her. She says that they have been friends for a long time, but Teresa hasn’t always treated her well. Aurora wants to know if she harmed him or gave him false hopes in any way! Mariano, resisting this conversation, just wants more time, he isn’t ready to talk. This was the worst illusion in his whole life. Teresa tells him she knows that he is in an argument with Aida because he knew what was happening between her parents (and didn’t tell her). He admits that Aida is very mad at him. Aurora offers that she knew about Aida’s parents too, she is mad at her as well! Mariano says that the two of them were between a rock and a hard place. With that Aurora gives him a pep talk saying that they shouldn’t be anxious, they will solve their problems as they come along and with a happy face. Then......Mariano picks up her hands lovingly and Aurora asks why he his looking at her. He doesn’t see the brooch that he gave her, she must not have liked it. Aurora looks anguished!
Dum-de-Dum-Dum! Arturo sitting at his desk sees Teresa enter in a school of shopping bags. “I see that you’ve been shopping,” says Arturo. “I just needed a distraction”, returns Teresa, “do you have problems AGAIN?” Arturo asks when she might get out of her bad mood, and then tells her that they need to talk. “What, you want me to pardon you again as if nothing has happened?”, she says. Using a stronger tone and moving from the desk closer to her, he explains that he wants her to understand that in his work, he CANNOT abandon his clients when they need him! “I understand perfectly”, she says matching his tone of voice, “You put you clients over (por encimo) me!” “No”, he says, “You are the most important thing for me, you are my WOMAN, (“My woman” doesn’t translate well in English, does it!) we have a life to live and participate in!” Teresa reminds him that you can have only ONE honeymoon!” Arturo says firmly, “Teresa, I’m not going to tolerate your whims (caprichos), you agreed to accept many responsibilities when you said you would be my wife.” Further, he tell her, she needs to be reasonable about these things and also....her spending. “You have abused the credit card that I gave you and you CANNOT continue in this manner!”
We join Aurora at the hospital while she assures Mariano, over his doubts, that she really likes the pin that he gave her. More than anything, she is happy that he is aware of her “santo”, which the pin represents. Mariano LOVINGLY thanks her for treating him so well, she has always been there for him. Things were so bad with Teresa, he is just glad Aurora was there.
Back at the de la Barrera family meeting: Arturo and Teresa continue reviewing some of the charges, she accusing him of going over the bill with a magnifying glass (lupa). One large charge is her ticket to Cancun, which is double the normal. She reminds him, tears flowing, that he didn’t tell her about the trip, and when she, with much anguish and worry, had to buy a ticket at the last moment, only first class was available! OK, he says, but in general you have spent way too much on clothes, etc. Having heard enough, and full of righteous indignation, all the while telling Arturo that he never warned her about spending, Teresa runs to her purse, gets her “Mexican Express” card and pops it into his hand and runs out of the room saying that she will not spend, “One peso more!” ........ As she approaches the staircase, there stands Fernando! She hesitates a moment, looking as though she has seen a ghost, then rushes into Fernando’s arms saying, “It is horrible!” Fernando, thinking that something “horrible” has transpired, gently holds Teresa, asking her, “What happened?” Just at that moment Arturo enters, and sees his wife and his best friend, and his sister’s mujeriego lover, in a (foreshadowing) embrace! Arturo looks angry, Fernando looks shocked and Teresa looks like the shark that just ate the canary! She runs up the stairs with Arturo following for a couple of steps calling her name. She shouts back at him, “Leave me alone!” Fernando has heard about the cancellation of the honeymoon and assumes that is the reason for the problems. Arturo, skipping over the present (mala) situation, proceeds to his next concern, Luisa, and asks Fernando to join him in his office, “We have something to talk about!”
Mariano and Aurora continue their conversation at the hospital remembering their earlier times together, with Aurora commenting that now Mariano is a Señor Doctor who is with Aida, and Aurora is with........her voice trails off. Then she asks him if he plans to continue to look for Aida and he tells her yes, they will talk this afternoon. The phone rings and enters a representative of one of the early lab underwriters/directors of the dispensario, a business man who gets right to the point, essentially telling Mariano if scandals continue, as seen in his copy of “Rostros” (faces) magazine, he is not so sure the funding will continue.
Casa de la Barrera: Arturo tells Fernando that he realizes Luisa is a woman now. “I’m glad that you know that,” snips Fernando. Arturo continues telling him that he is worried about the situation, it is the first time that Luisa has been in love. Fernando knows that too! (I bet he does!) Arturo interrupts him saying that Luisa is very different from the other (unsaid---fast) women that he is used to, she is sensible and very romantic.....Fernando interrupts saying that he is in love with Luisa. Arturo tells him if he treats her like the rest, he will be very sorry! Arturo recognizes that Fernando and Luisa have arrived at that “point” of their relationship.....Fernando tells him that he and Luisa have talked about all this. The conversation ends with Fernando saying that he isn’t ready for marriage, and he has been upfront about that, he values both Luisa and Arturo’s friendship and intends no harm, BUT..... the state of the relationship between the two of them, Luisa and Fernando, depends on THEM!
The Hospital: (Combined scene) Mariano tells his visitor that, while he has made mistakes in his life, he hasn’t made mistakes in his work. Aurora points out that this type of magazine is just simply trying to sell more copies, the things that are being said didn’t happen that way. Mariano follows saying that the people who come to the dispensario need the help, why hurt them simply because of a magazine without scruples? Aurora, showing the visitor the clinic data, says that the number of people treated at the dispensario is 25% more than they had predicted. The visitor sees the value of their argument and agrees to continue their support, but if these problems continue, they will definitively suspend their help! As the visitor leaves, Mariano and Aurora agree that they will have to work harder to find more donors for the dispensario.
Casa de la Barrara, Teresa and Luisa: Teresa, putting her twist on her credit card discussions with Arturo, first references the broken honeymoon and then tells Luisa that Arturo, has been shameful and has argued (regañar) with her about her credit cards. Luisa is surprised saying that Arturo isn’t usually like this. Teresa worries out loud that Arturo has changed and the marriage might not work! Luisa tells her not to say this, she loves Arturo and he adores her. Well, Arturo hasn’t demonstrated this according to Teresa. Her wedding day should have been the best day of her life, but it wasn’t. Luisa points out that many married people need time to build on the marriage and the problem with the honeymoon was an emergency. Luisa assures Teresa that everything will fix itself (arreglarse), Arturo loves her. Teresa smiles and we hear the theme from Jaws!
Casa de la Barrara library: Fernando tells Arturo that because of what happened with their parents, he has always protected Luisa, but now is the time for her to make her own decisions. Arturo agrees, but tells him that he thinks that things are going too fast between them, he and Teresa were together for five years and they waited until after they were married to have a physical relationship. Really? Arturo says it wasn’t her first time, but waiting made it something very special. I put her needs ahead of mine, because I love her. Fernando follows saying that he loves Luisa too, but all relationships are different. The subject changes to the events of the wedding with Arturo saying that almost all was lost, it one of the worst moments of his life. The imbecile who interrupted the wedding was a novio from Teresa’s younger days who can’t get over her and almost ruined the wedding! Arturo shares that he told the guy at the wedding to never return again.......But why Teresa was crying when he arrived?...... asks Fernando. No answer from Arturo.
Casa de la Barrera staircase: Luisa tells Teresa that Arturo is good with her relationship with Fernando, and then she asks if her brother was her first (as in sex). Teresa answers, no......it was Paulo! But, he threw me out (mandar a volar) and I don’t want that to happen to you, Luisa. Luisa responds, “Fernando loves me!” Finding out that Fernando is in the house, Luisa goes to her room to fix herself up. Teresa stands at the top of the staircase waiting (like a spider!) for Fernando to reappear. They meet and he asks how she is doing and she says that she is unaccustomed to such dramas. Of course, like the galan that he is, he offers to help in any way he can. She tells him that his hug helped her very much, it’s crazy, but it made her feel very well indeed! Teresa leaves to visit her parents just as Luisa comes down to ask Fernando how the conversation with Arturo went.....He hugs Luisa saying, “Just fine,” as his confused yet interested eyes follow the image of Teresa leaving from the front door!!!
Juana’s casa: FF>> Neither Hector or Juana like lies or tricks, they need to have a talk, what about a meal tomorrow?
Caceras’ casa: Geno and Mayra are chatting when Aida interrupts saying that Geno’s idea of giving information to the magazines was a good one, but she never realized that the coverage would include this....They have put the whore in! Geno, smiling, reads the magazine, “Not only was there a scandal at the wedding, but there was a scandal at the reception too, where a woman presented herself saying that she was the lover of the respected notary, Ruben Caceras.” At this point Ruben, with the finesse of an elephant, enters the room cheerfully saying that he came to eat with all his “Princesses” and has the magazine article thrust into his face seeing for himself the photo of Geno, himself and Esperanza at the reception!
El Johnny and Espe in a grassy park used by women in high spiky heals! (Combined Scene) FF>>Espe tells Johnny that Dr. Hernan might be interested in another doctor. Too bad, Espe likes talking with him. El Johnny is having problems renting a room near Refugio, who plans to help with the baby. He wants to be near Paty as well. Well, for the time being, Espe can stay with Juana. Cell phone call, Doña Loan Shark, Johnny is going to work with her! Love, kisses and blessings! FF>>
Hospital: FF>>Hernan tells Dr. Graciela that he has only offered his friendship to Espe and she interprets his interest as simply for the baby, she continues to love the baby’s father . What, with all that has happened? Wow! FF>>
Chavez casa: FF>> (Combined Scenes) Refugio and Armando talk about needing to rent Teresa’s room. Armando plans to put a notice up soon and resume his work at Arturo’s, money is short. In bounces Teresa. Under heavy duty questioning from Refugio, Teresa assures her parents that everything is OK, Arturo had a problem with work and thus the shortened honeymoon. More questions from Refugio, more assurances from Teresa. Armando spills the beans that Arturo plans a work trip to the US.....woops, wait until he tells you about this....Claro.....What is said in the Chavez house, stays in the Chavez house!! Esperanza is mentioned, Refugio glares, and Teresa leaves a conciliatory, beso filled message on Professor Hottie’s cell, swearing to herself that she missed Europe, but is going with him to the US of A. After the call, Teresa is delighted hear that Espe will no longer be living at Casa Chavez, in support of Teresa. Refugio reminds Teresa that Espe is a long term friend and Teresa answers by showing them the article where Espe is credited with interrupting the reception. Now Teresa will be the brunt of all jokes.
Caceras’ casa: Ruben is pleading his case, why such serious, quiet (calladas) faces. He says that all the work he has done has been useless! Aida asks him why doesn’t he just leave them all in peace and he returns by asking why can’t they talk about other things. He then gets a call on his cell.......from Arturo. Ever the detective, Aida answers the call all the while saying that Arturo is on his honeymoon, but is surprised to find out that it is really Arturo, his trip was interrupted for work matters!
Johnny delivers a meal from Gema to a man who plays magic tricks with the tip. Johnny then gives him his card in hopes for more business. We meet El Hurache Veloz. When the door closes, Fito appears and the meal is discovered to hid drugs. The delivery worked and Johnny didn’t suspect anything. The men toast saying that they have discovered a great way to deliver drugs, no one suspects.
Juana’s place: (Combined scenes) Refugio, talking to Esperanza, hopes that she and Teresa can restore their friendship. Espe leaves to meet Johnny. Refugio then notices Juana’s long face, she has met Cutberto’s future wife and the mother of his children. Refugio tells her to calm down, Cutberto doesn’t want children now. Juana says that she can never give Cutberto children. Refugio:Talk with him now, tell him, he loves you....Juana says it is useless, he is going with another now. Perceptive as usual, Refugio tells Juana that the only one who is important to Juana is Cutberto. Tell Aurora’s father if you don’t love him, it will be better. Juana tell Refugio that the relationship between her and Hector is different, they are companions, they go to the movies, they talk, etc. He loves me, treats me well.....Refugio says that being distracted is different than being in love, and Juana answers that love and distraction is what she needs right now.
Hospital: FF>> Aurora is talking with her father about his relationship with Juana. He offers that he just can’t tell Juana about his wife, it is painful. Aurora: you must tell her you can’t start a relationship with lies. Hector is afraid that the relationship will go in reverse and Aurora tells him, that if it does, it will be Juana’s fault. Aurora wants the love of her mother, her father doesn’t care about that......Yes, I do hija! Aurora thinks a bit and then points out to her father that he is just afraid of falling in love again and this is worse!
The Caceras’ Casa: Our mala hembra enters and is teased about the magazine article and shortened honeymoon by Aida. Teresa answers that Arturo can’t live without her, just like Mariano! Aida tells her that she is far from having what she wants, Teresa answers that she has more than she wants and will have (tendrá) everything else. Aida tells Teresa that she always aspired to be in the upper circles of society but will just be the joke of the year, referring again to the wedding scandals. On top of her game, Teresa reminds Aida about the reception scandal featuring her father and his “amante” (lover). Aida throws the blame of his father’s amante at Teresa, you both are good for nothings. (golfos). Aida says that her father has dropped the amante, telling Teresa that her plan to destroy her family has failed. Teresa tells her that she plans to take her family blow by blow, (golpe a golpe) she isn’t in a hurry. Mayra arrives just at this time for their planned meeting.
Casa de la Barrara: Arturo listens to the loving, kiss, kiss phone message from Teresa and smiles! He orders a big arrangement of special flowers for his wife. ¡Qué bueno!
Caceras’ casa: (Combined scenes) Teresa assures Mayra that she had nothing to do with the arrival of Espe at the wedding reception or Ruben’s involvement with her. Mayra tells her that Espe has said as much. Mayra continues that this woman has destroyed her marriage and her life, because Ruben was her life. Teresa doesn’t think that it is the end, Ruben adores her.....Teresa encourages her to tell her (cuentas conmigo) about it, and in a display of solidarity, she tells Mayra that her parents have thrown Espe out of their house! As she leaves, Teresa sees Mariano giving Aida the clothes she left at his place! In her presence, Aida lovingly takes Mariano’s arm and he asks her what’s Teresa doing here. Teresa suggests that he ask her himself, and then Aida answers, “She came to talk with my mother.” “Aren’t you on your honeymoon?” asks Mariano. “It was moved, for reasons that don’t interest you.” says Teresa. Aida quips, that instead of a Luna de Miel, it was a Luna de Hiel. (Ice honeymoon rather that “honey” moon). After some sweet nothings and big, obvious sexual innuendo, Mariano and Aida have a sexy smooch in front of Teresa, not so much for love, but for VENGANZA (revenge). Teresa is very upset. Mayra enters the room, apologizing about not returning her call, she has turned her phone off, and then thanks her for the visit, she has come from kindness and others have come for morbid interest. (morbos) In the yard, Mariano asks Aida why did she do this to him (the kiss). He shakes his head in protest. She tells him that she wanted it, after all his is a cute guy and he enjoyed it too. It is the best way to get rid of Teresa. “Let’s enjoy it!” She tries to kiss him again and he pushes her away, “I have told you that I don’t want a relationship with you only for spite (despecho).” He follows that this wouldn’t a good thing for her, but she says she is willing to take the risk. The subject turns to Espe and Aida calls her a rat. Mariano says that Espe is a friend, and that Aida’s father was older and a married man. For this reason and many others, they can’t have a relationship, besides, her father would never permit it. Aida says that this isn’t for her father to say. Mariano informs her that her father fired both him and his father as messengers, in order to keep them quiet about Espe. Mariano doubts the motives of Aida's work in the dispensario.....
Back in the house we hear Teresa telling Mayra, “Forget what happened, this might be an opportunity for you and your husband.” “Yes”, answers Mayra, “this is what Aida says.” Speaking of whom, Teresa tells Mayra that Aida and Mariano are going together, (andando de novios). Mayra is surprised saying, “What did you say?” Woops, sorry, didn’t know that you were unaware of this! They were kissing right here in your house! Mayra says that she didn’t know it, she just thought that they were friends! “Careful!” says Teresa, “you saw how impulsive he was at my wedding!” Mayra tells her that Mariano has been very helpful to Aida after the death of Paulo, they are very close now. After pretending that she has great reluctance to give Mayra this tidbit, and as smooth as silk, she gets in her last zinger....."Mariano is the best friend of Esperanza."

Then she asks him if he plans to continue to look for Aida and he tells her yes, they will talk this afternoon. The phone rings and enters a representative of one of the early lab underwriters/directors of the dispensario, a business man who gets right to the point, essentially telling Mariano if scandals continue, as seen in his copy of “Rostros” (faces) magazine, he is not so sure the funding will continue.

Casa de la Barrara, Teresa and Luisa: Teresa, putting her twist on her credit card discussions with Arturo, first references the broken honeymoon and then tells Luisa that Arturo, has been shameful and has argued (regañar) with her about her credit cards. Luisa is surprised saying that Arturo isn’t usually like this. Teresa worries out loud that Arturo has changed and the marriage might not work! Luisa tells her not to say this, she loves Arturo and he adores her. Well, Arturo hasn’t demonstrated this according to Teresa. Her wedding day should have been the best day of her life, but it wasn’t. Luisa points out that many married people need time to build on the marriage and the problem with the honeymoon was an emergency. Luisa assures Teresa that everything will fix itself (arreglarse), Arturo loves her. Teresa smiles and we hear the theme from Jaws!
Casa de la Barrara library: Fernando tells Arturo that because of what happened with their parents, he has always protected Luisa, but now is the time for her to make her own decisions. Arturo agrees, but tells him that he thinks that things are going too fast between them, he and Teresa were together for five years and they waited until after they were married to have a physical relationship. Really? Arturo says it wasn’t her first time, but waiting made it something very special. I put her needs ahead of mine, because I love her. Fernando follows saying that he loves Luisa too, but all relationships are different. The subject changes to the events of the wedding with Arturo saying that almost all was lost, it one of the worst moments of his life. The imbecile who interrupted the wedding was a novio from Teresa’s younger days who can’t get over her and almost ruined the wedding! Arturo shares that he told the guy at the wedding to never return again.......But why Teresa was crying when he arrived?...... asks Fernando. No answer from Arturo.
Casa de la Barrera staircase: Luisa tells Teresa that Arturo is good with her relationship with Fernando, and then she asks if her brother was her first (as in sex). Teresa answers, no......it was Paulo! But, he threw me out (mandar a volar) and I don’t want that to happen to you, Luisa. Luisa responds, “Fernando loves me!” Finding out that Fernando is in the house, Luisa goes to her room to fix herself up. Teresa stands at the top of the staircase waiting (like a spider!) for Fernando to reappear. They meet and he asks how she is doing and she says that she is unaccustomed to such dramas. Of course, like the galan that he is, he offers to help in any way he can. She tells him that his hug helped her very much, it’s crazy, but it made her feel very well indeed! Teresa leaves to visit her parents just as Luisa comes down to ask Fernando how the conversation with Arturo went.....He hugs Luisa saying, “Just fine,” as his confused yet interested eyes follow the image of Teresa leaving from the front door!!!
Juana’s casa: FF>> Neither Hector or Juana like lies or tricks, they need to have a talk, what about a meal tomorrow?
Caceras’ casa: Geno and Mayra are chatting when Aida interrupts saying that Geno’s idea of giving information to the magazines was a good one, but she never realized that the coverage would include this....They have put the whore in! Geno, smiling, reads the magazine, “Not only was there a scandal at the wedding, but there was a scandal at the reception too, where a woman presented herself saying that she was the lover of the respected notary, Ruben Caceras.” At this point Ruben, with the finesse of an elephant, enters the room cheerfully saying that he came to eat with all his “Princesses” and has the magazine article thrust into his face seeing for himself the photo of Geno, himself and Esperanza at the reception!
El Johnny and Espe in a grassy park used by women in high spiky heals! (Combined Scene) FF>>Espe tells Johnny that Dr. Hernan might be interested in another doctor. Too bad, Espe likes talking with him. El Johnny is having problems renting a room near Refugio, who plans to help with the baby. He wants to be near Paty as well. Well, for the time being, Espe can stay with Juana. Cell phone call, Doña Loan Shark, Johnny is going to work with her! Love, kisses and blessings! FF>>
Hospital: FF>>Hernan tells Dr. Graciela that he has only offered his friendship to Espe and she interprets his interest as simply for the baby, she continues to love the baby’s father . What, with all that has happened? Wow! FF>>
Chavez casa: FF>> (Combined Scenes) Refugio and Armando talk about needing to rent Teresa’s room. Armando plans to put a notice up soon and resume his work at Arturo’s, money is short. In bounces Teresa. Under heavy duty questioning from Refugio, Teresa assures her parents that everything is OK, Arturo had a problem with work and thus the shortened honeymoon. More questions from Refugio, more assurances from Teresa. Armando spills the beans that Arturo plans a work trip to the US.....woops, wait until he tells you about this....Claro.....What is said in the Chavez house, stays in the Chavez house!! Esperanza is mentioned, Refugio glares, and Teresa leaves a conciliatory, beso filled message on Professor Hottie’s cell, swearing to herself that she missed Europe, but is going with him to the US of A. After the call, Teresa is delighted hear that Espe will no longer be living at Casa Chavez, in support of Teresa. Refugio reminds Teresa that Espe is a long term friend and Teresa answers by showing them the article where Espe is credited with interrupting the reception. Now Teresa will be the brunt of all jokes.
Caceras’ casa: Ruben is pleading his case, why such serious, quiet (calladas) faces. He says that all the work he has done has been useless! Aida asks him why doesn’t he just leave them all in peace and he returns by asking why can’t they talk about other things. He then gets a call on his cell.......from Arturo. Ever the detective, Aida answers the call all the while saying that Arturo is on his honeymoon, but is surprised to find out that it is really Arturo, his trip was interrupted for work matters!
Johnny delivers a meal from Gema to a man who plays magic tricks with the tip. Johnny then gives him his card in hopes for more business. We meet El Hurache Veloz. When the door closes, Fito appears and the meal is discovered to hid drugs. The delivery worked and Johnny didn’t suspect anything. The men toast saying that they have discovered a great way to deliver drugs, no one suspects.
Juana’s place: (Combined scenes) Refugio, talking to Esperanza, hopes that she and Teresa can restore their friendship. Espe leaves to meet Johnny. Refugio then notices Juana’s long face, she has met Cutberto’s future wife and the mother of his children. Refugio tells her to calm down, Cutberto doesn’t want children now. Juana says that she can never give Cutberto children. Refugio:Talk with him now, tell him, he loves you....Juana says it is useless, he is going with another now. Perceptive as usual, Refugio tells Juana that the only one who is important to Juana is Cutberto. Tell Aurora’s father if you don’t love him, it will be better. Juana tell Refugio that the relationship between her and Hector is different, they are companions, they go to the movies, they talk, etc. He loves me, treats me well.....Refugio says that being distracted is different than being in love, and Juana answers that love and distraction is what she needs right now.
Hospital: FF>> Aurora is talking with her father about his relationship with Juana. He offers that he just can’t tell Juana about his wife, it is painful. Aurora: you must tell her you can’t start a relationship with lies. Hector is afraid that the relationship will go in reverse and Aurora tells him, that if it does, it will be Juana’s fault. Aurora wants the love of her mother, her father doesn’t care about that......Yes, I do hija! Aurora thinks a bit and then points out to her father that he is just afraid of falling in love again and this is worse!
The Caceras’ Casa: Our mala hembra enters and is teased about the magazine article and shortened honeymoon by Aida. Teresa answers that Arturo can’t live without her, just like Mariano! Aida tells her that she is far from having what she wants, Teresa answers that she has more than she wants and will have (tendrá) everything else. Aida tells Teresa that she always aspired to be in the upper circles of society but will just be the joke of the year, referring again to the wedding scandals. On top of her game, Teresa reminds Aida about the reception scandal featuring her father and his “amante” (lover). Aida throws the blame of his father’s amante at Teresa, you both are good for nothings. (golfos). Aida says that her father has dropped the amante, telling Teresa that her plan to destroy her family has failed. Teresa tells her that she plans to take her family blow by blow, (golpe a golpe) she isn’t in a hurry. Mayra arrives just at this time for their planned meeting.
Casa de la Barrara: Arturo listens to the loving, kiss, kiss phone message from Teresa and smiles! He orders a big arrangement of special flowers for his wife. ¡Qué bueno!
Caceras’ casa: (Combined scenes) Teresa assures Mayra that she had nothing to do with the arrival of Espe at the wedding reception or Ruben’s involvement with her. Mayra tells her that Espe has said as much. Mayra continues that this woman has destroyed her marriage and her life, because Ruben was her life. Teresa doesn’t think that it is the end, Ruben adores her.....Teresa encourages her to tell her (cuentas conmigo) about it, and in a display of solidarity, she tells Mayra that her parents have thrown Espe out of their house! As she leaves, Teresa sees Mariano giving Aida the clothes she left at his place! In her presence, Aida lovingly takes Mariano’s arm and he asks her what’s Teresa doing here. Teresa suggests that he ask her himself, and then Aida answers, “She came to talk with my mother.” “Aren’t you on your honeymoon?” asks Mariano. “It was moved, for reasons that don’t interest you.” says Teresa. Aida quips, that instead of a Luna de Miel, it was a Luna de Hiel. (Ice honeymoon rather that “honey” moon). After some sweet nothings and big, obvious sexual innuendo, Mariano and Aida have a sexy smooch in front of Teresa, not so much for love, but for VENGANZA (revenge). Teresa is very upset. Mayra enters the room, apologizing about not returning her call, she has turned her phone off, and then thanks her for the visit, she has come from kindness and others have come for morbid interest. (morbos) In the yard, Mariano asks Aida why did she do this to him (the kiss). He shakes his head in protest. She tells him that she wanted it, after all his is a cute guy and he enjoyed it too. It is the best way to get rid of Teresa. “Let’s enjoy it!” She tries to kiss him again and he pushes her away, “I have told you that I don’t want a relationship with you only for spite (despecho).” He follows that this wouldn’t a good thing for her, but she says she is willing to take the risk. The subject turns to Espe and Aida calls her a rat. Mariano says that Espe is a friend, and that Aida’s father was older and a married man. For this reason and many others, they can’t have a relationship, besides, her father would never permit it. Aida says that this isn’t for her father to say. Mariano informs her that her father fired both him and his father as messengers, in order to keep them quiet about Espe. Mariano doubts the motives of Aida's work in the dispensario.....
Back in the house we hear Teresa telling Mayra, “Forget what happened, this might be an opportunity for you and your husband.” “Yes”, answers Mayra, “this is what Aida says.” Speaking of whom, Teresa tells Mayra that Aida and Mariano are going together, (andando de novios). Mayra is surprised saying, “What did you say?” Woops, sorry, didn’t know that you were unaware of this! They were kissing right here in your house! Mayra says that she didn’t know it, she just thought that they were friends! “Careful!” says Teresa, “you saw how impulsive he was at my wedding!” Mayra tells her that Mariano has been very helpful to Aida after the death of Paulo, they are very close now. After pretending that she has great reluctance to give Mayra this tidbit, and as smooth as silk, she gets in her last zinger....."Mariano is the best friend of Esperanza."

Refusio almost seemed hopeful that El Licenciado & Teresa had broken up on their honeymoon.
But even if they did, why would any self-respecting man or even Mariano want to go back to Teresa?
Or is Refusio like the mom in Carrie..."they're all gonna laugh at yoooooooou........."

The recap was great, Sandy, and up so soon. Thanks so much. Laughed at your use of "frenzy" describing Tiburoncita's shopping spree. Shucks, I was disappointed that Tere, though caught by Arturo with her abusive charging, was able to fib about her first class ticket and sweet talk her way with Arturo with her call (poor sap) and will probably manage to fenagle a trip to the U S with Arturo.
Tere is definitely not a jeans and T shirt gal but what was she wearing? No one, not even straightlaced Refusio or Dad or now Hubby or Luisa, blinks an eye when Teresa runs around town with her suggestive choice of attire usually a sleeveless skin tight dress with a super low top and in this case a her skirt split almost to the navel with her ever present flower strategically placed in the front...and, of course, with those high heels.
I guess Tere is saving the best tidbit of all (Ruben and Gen) for last to devastate Mayra and Aida.

Sandy fabulous job on the recap i was LOL from reading it from the beginning to the end.Thank you.
What did Teresa expect when she had all of those photographers at her wedding?
I'm with Arturo on how he dealt with Fernando and it doesn't look good that he is checking out his new wife.
Poor Aurora she is trying to move on but still so in love with the dope.I hope he does wake up real quick and see the great woman that she is.
I have to give Mariano credit for the way he dealt with Aida and i hope he sees that this psycho doesn't have his best interest at heart. She not only caused him to be involved in a big scandal but look at the flack he is now getting for her little get back at Teresa revenge game.
Sadly this idiot while she may win a couple of rounds of getting back at Teresa the more she pushes her the more Teresa will reveal what her father has done and destroy totally her parents marriage.
Mayra is a hypocrite while she's happy about the scandal at Teresa's wedding she doesn't want a scandal for herself to be in the papers and she is desperately trying to hold on to her pathetic marriage.Wait until she finds out her best friend is Ruben's other lover what ever will she do then?

Wonderful recap Sandy! Man, Art is laying the gauntlet down, hooray for him. I think Tere was genuinely surprised that he got worked up about the credit card. The bottomless pit she thinks he has may not be so easy to access after all.
So instead, she's already working her way to Fer. Gees girl, give the marriage a week before moving on. Poor Fer--you can almost see the word "sucker" written across his forehead. I don't think he has his big-bucks yet does he? Or by coming back doers that mean he straightened all that out in Spain...think I missed that if anyone can help....thanks
Not loving Aida with now - that whole kissing of Mariano was just so stupid. Looking at Tere the whole time. Talk about someone else with "sucker" written on his forehead. Someone needs to slap these guys up the head.
Refuse-to-give-it-a-rest I don't think is ever going to give up on wanting Tere with Mariano. I swear she'd marry the guy herself if she could. For a good religious mother, you would think her advice to her daughter now is to work things out and stick by your husband. (But then of course, she wears the pants in the family, so maybe that's not advice she would know about).

Sandy- Thanks again for this stellar recap over a holiday weekend, especially given that you did this from online videos.
I like that Art keeps challenging Teresa on these things that she does. Unfortunately, he's still in the early stages of married bliss, so it's still easy to get his forgiveness with a sweet message. Teresa should not count on that to last long if she continues on this bratty, careless path. She is arrogant, underestimates Art and overestimates her ability to manipulate him. If she were really playing this smart, she would throw herself into helping him with his work and becoming a true partner in his business (easier to take it and his fortune over that way). Ever since she got that credit card, her greedy side has taken over her hard working side, and she has begun to neglect her work with his law firm. He would love her so much more if she went back to being the hard working, ambitious Teresa that he fell for, and not just this (now more obvious) social climber, greedy shopping fiend that she is showing herself to be.
Loved the conversation between Art and Fernando. Mature, and to the point. But that was quite the stern look Art was giving Fer! If he were really Luisa's dad, Fer would be quaking in his fancy European shoes.
I laughed at the three blonde furies waiting for Ruben. His three princesses, indeed! Just when he thinks he's making progress, he gets thrown in the dog house again. Good! I think this storyline is becoming the comic relief as the Johnny story is getting darker. Poor Johnny. Soon his card will be in the hands of every drug dealer and druggie in the city. Just the proof the cops will need to throw him in jail unjustly, I'm afraid. I don't even want to think about it.
As for Espe and Ledesma-- I'm glad that the OBGYN is his friend and not his love interest. Now he just needs to make that clear to Espe. I'm afraid these two crazy kids will take a while longer to finally blurt out what they feel for each other. Nice to see Espe moving on from Ruben though. Yay!

Sandy, thank you so much for your timely and astute recap! We're going off on vacation; and so I will be missing the show again, alas.
Haven't finished last night's episode. Hoping you all will be having fun; goodbye for now. :-)

Great recap Sandy! I especially love your, "like a spider!" allusion to GWTW, no doubt.
I think our little spider's web is getting out of her control. Many of you have compared her to Scarlett O, but I really think she is more like Scarlett on steroids. Yikes! She is already moving in on Fer!
GinCa-ITA Tere's clothes, she is overdressed, the sign of a poor person newly rich.
Blusa: I think Aida called those paparrazi, not Tere. ITA the way Mariano dealt with Aida, I was glad to see he isn't deceived.

Thanks everyone and especially to Vivi for posting and proofing the recap.
Daisy, isn't clear if Fernando actually has his gazillions in his hands yet, but there seems to be some issue about his "sick" mother. I really looked at his face as Teresa made a play for him and he seemed more surprised than anything, but I'm sure he'll be going in for the kill soon!
Vivi, like you, I am so taken with how Arturo handles situations, a quiet and FIRM conversation where he listens, but doesn't back down, Arturo is one of the best galans ever. Teresa will have her hands full trying to manipulate him.
When Refugio and Ter were talking, Ter told her she was mad about the honeymoon cancelation, and Refugio cautioned about anger, but I get the feeling she would jump for joy if Tere went back to Mariano, church wedding and all.
Blu, I was happy at the way Mariano pushed Aida away too. He seems to be really reaching out to Aurora now as well. There is a wonderful friendship growing between then.....can't wait for their romance to grow. ( I hope) This is ungrandmotherly of me, but I kept hoping Aurora would shorten her skirt and jacket!!! Ha! While we think Ter's look is too tacky/ sexy, all the men are falling for it!!!!!

SandyTN: Thank you again for another terrific and humor-filled recap! You did a fabulous job of translating getting this off a video stream sans CC!! Wow! Especially appreciated the use of "frenzy" in conjunction with Tere the Tiburoncita! Muy witty! Thanks again for subbing for me.
I still think Arturo could have gotten a postponement and bailed out his buddy then returned immediately to enjoy at least a minimal honeymoon trip to Europa. That was just plain stooopid on his part--and not putting a limit on that credit card of Teresa del Barrio was also just as naive and stoooopid.
Definitely was patting Mariano on the back for telling it straight with Aida, but he's also just a "thing"/ a tool for Aida and I wonder if he'll get that through his head. If you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear the reverse is just as true for the lousy likes of Aida.
I believe that day around their high school graduation that Aida made her bed. Tere warned her that it might take years, but she would get even with her and Tere's definitely following through, whatever the rest of life might bring Tere's way. You'll never convince me that Aida has "seen the light" and fully repented of being the Rata del Ricachon.

My spider reference was a tip of the hat to GWTW. She did look like a spider standing on that staircase. Yes, Tere is Scarlett on steroids! Years ago, in the beginning of the feminist movement, Scarlett was nominated by many as a literary feminist, who else in that family would have taken charge of everything after the warah.( southern for war!) Our Ter is backsliding in that department! I agreed with Jeri's comment the other day, Ter might not be a very physical person, she better be careful about strutting herself in front of Fernando, she might have to pay "what her mouth promised"
The "frenzy" and "Mexican Express" were a salute to Friday's recap and comments.
In changing the ending time on my DVR, I erased the serial recording. I saw the program once live with CCs but couldn't stop, etc. I'm proud of working from YouTube, but feel stupid about the DVR! If anyone sees a problem, we'll politely ask Vivi to change it!!!

Scarlett had one virtue Teresa lacks: Real generosity and a sense of family responsibility.
She took care of her family. That was her whole motive for marrying Rhett in the first place. Rhett gave her carte blanche and on their luna de miel she bought expensive gifts for all of them, including her servants. She had Tara fixed up and made sure the crops were planted. She may have loved the latest fashions and gaudy jewelry, but she took care of the others first.
I don't think Tiburoncita will learn this lesson anytime soon. Her school of shopping bags (LOL) are all about herself.

Awesome recap Sandy. So Arturo knew that he wasn't Teresa's first. I wondered would he know the difference. Wait until he finds out that it was Mariano who scored first. Can you say fireworks.
I was also glad that Arturo confronted Teresa about her compulsive spending. I think she pretty much maxed out the credit card. I wonder will Arturo give it back to her or will he cut it up.
Definitely foreshadowing of Teresa getting Fernando more and more entangled in her web. He is already smitten with her. Arturo and Luisa will not take this well when it all blows up.
I really felt for Aurora. She loves Mariano so much but he is no where near ready to be with her even though he is starting to see her in a different light.
When Teresa said why did Mariano ruin her wedding, I thought duh because of you. If you hadn't slept with him the night before the nuptials and made promises to run away with him, he would have never interupted the wedding. Teresa truly is her own worst enemy. How high was that slit in her dress with the strategically placed flower LOL.

It wasn't Aida's fault Mariano busted up in the church (or the reception) acting a fool. It was MARIANO's fault.
Mariano was told by his dad and Teresa's dad to leave Teresa alone.
Yes, Teresa enticed him the day before the wedding and they made plans to run away together* but after Teresa slapped him and basically called him a pathetic stalker in the church in front of everyone, he had no business busting in the reception to get a second helping.
None of is Aida's fault. Also, Mariano has gotten a warning from Hector (re: Espe/Ruben) about letting his personal life interfere with his professional life. Now Mariano's been told AGAIN by Hector that his acting a fool at the wedding/reception could cost the clinic donors b/c nobody wants to work with a volatile hothead, and the clinic guy was threatening to pull $$$ from the clinic until Aurora saved the day. The clinic guy also warned Mariano AGAIN about his personal life.
None of that is Aida's fault. She might be egging Mariano on, but Mariano has to take personal responsibility for his actions.
*Let's say Teresa DID run away with Mariano. Arturo's influence in the community is such that the donors would stop giving to Mariano's clinic (whether Arturo asked them to stop giving or not). Mariano's up and coming career would screech to a halt. Do you think Hector the Director would keep Mariano on as a doctor? Probably not; he might like Mariano as a person but he wouldn't be able to afford to keep Mariano on staff and still expect donations from people like Arturo, Clinic Guy, Paloma's Foundation etc. And certainly Teresa's career would be over. What influential person would choose her over Arturo? Nobody! They'd be back in the vecindad and Teresa would leave him anyway

Great recap Sandy!
I think Teresa is not realizing that her spell over Arturo is weaker than she thinks.
Mariano makes me want to pull my hair, he is always doing throwing a bone to Aurora in their scenes and then he lets himself be used by Aída and Teresa.
I don't think that Refugio wants Teresa with Mariano anymore, she is married now afterall. But she still wants to meddle. I was watching Rubí yesterday (my mom is now rewatching it so I tend to catch an episode here and there) and while I think Rubí is generally a worse person than Teresa, there is a quiet understanding between her and her mother that doesn't exist between Teresa and Refugio. Rubí told her mom: "I don't want to have kids because I don't want to endure the anguish that I know you suffer because of me". Interesting.

Superb recap, Sandy. I love the way you capture the moods and emotions of the characters.
Arturo doesn't seem to be spending much time working, considering he cancelled his honeymoon for a work emergency. Does Teresa even pretend that she still works for him, or has she given that up to be a trophy wife? I'm not sure Arturo was on board with that plan. I enjoyed his rant about the credit card bill.
Anon207, funny remark about "any self-respecting man or even Mariano."

My cable listings show that Teresa is going back to 2 hours next week. Brace yourselves, y'all. Or hope they're wrong.
Really they have been advertising that Don Francisco talk show is coming back and i really don't understand the reasoning behind showing Teresa for two hours i would think because this happens to be a well written and intelligent novela they would want to prolong it as long as necessary.
Does anyone know how Teresa is doing with the ratings over here so far?

Oh, bother. I just saw that too. And I hate trying to watch teresa episodes on You Tube. What is Univision's problem???
Feel so bad for our recappers.
Feel so bad for our recappers.
Oh dear, my cable lineup shows two hour Teresas starting on Monday, June 6th, too! I know it is fun to watch a couple capitulos at a time, but for those who travel and come home to six hours of taped Teresas, with everything else they need to catch up on, it is just about impossible. Plus, for the recappers, trying to translate a two hour program, write it up, do the research and make grammatical corrections, becomes quite a long production. Well, I guess we all just need to quit our jobs, drop our family and friends, forget about holidays and vacations and just become Univision drones! Uni out-crazies the other crazy networks by a mile.
As others are commenting today, Arturo’s cancellation of his honeymoon was a little knee-jerkie to me. He is piddling around looking at his bills, ordering flowers, etc. I’d expect that he should be down at the courthouse, or in some conference room, burning the midnight oil with a team of either business or criminal lawyers to help save his client. I noticed that he told Teresa that, in promising to be his wife, she had in effect agreed to accept the responsibilities of that “office.” The Hottie Profe, is NOT the pushover that both Mariano and Paulo are and were. I wonder who will be the winner in their marital entanglement.

Sandy, thanks for a chock-full recap.
I liked the calculating but hard-working Teresa better. This calculating layabout has got to go. So glad Arturo is no longer a sap about the credit card. Teresa overplayed her hand here.

Have to go out again in the 95 degree weather and fight the cicadas, but one more comment before I go....
Anon207, I agree that Mariano is to blame for the fiasco at Teresa's wedding and reception and no one else. He has been a "stalker" (don't like that harsh word, but it is an apt description) all along. Yes, if any person in the business of requesting underwriting from big name donors acted as he has and got the press coverage that he did, I think his dispensario would be history, no second chances. He is very lucky that the lab representative was as understanding as he was! In real live, can see what happens to misbehaving athletes, they loose their endorsements. Sweet little Aurora (my choice) has a lot of work on her hands!

Sandy thanks for your great recap. ITA regarding the foreshadowing b/t Art,Luisa, Teresa,and Fer. Art & Luisa are kind people but seeing someone hurt their sibling may bring out the lion in each of them.
Perhaps soccer season is starting as I saw something about the Copa de Oro match. There may be preemptions of the novelas so Uni is building up irs fan base now. The uncertainty makes it hard to plan ahead and of course hard on our wonderful recappers.
I think Arturo was firm with Teresa on her excessive spending and selfish attitude but it seems a few sweet words from Teresa placates Arturo. Of course, he is the one willing to try to give the marriage a chance.

Thanks Sandy! Always love the GWTW references!
RE: the ART/FER conversation, I cringed when Fernando lay it on him that he's not "ready" for marriage. But he's ready for living together? I guess I'm old but if he's telling Luisa and Art that he loves her so much yet says in the same breath that he's not ready for marriage, that's a big ol' nasty red flag! Watch out Luisa!
Bummer about 2 hour episodes. Not looking forward to that at all. grrrr.

Sandy in TN, it was actually Aurora who saved the day by presenting Clinic Guy with financial facts and figures to back up why he should continue supporting the clinic. She also told Mariano they need to start looking for other donors for the clinic. Aurora's thinking with her head. Mariano's not.
I wonder what Ramon's going to say when he gets back and finds out what went down?

I've been following the ratings at the Univision forum. Teresa is doing well, just a point or two behind Triunfo del Amor. Cuando Me Enamoro is flopping though, very bad ratings. Triunfo is the most successful novela right now in the US. Funny how that happened there.

Jarocha i just don't understand how that is possible TDA has just really gone beyond the absurd and last night's two episodes i can't even believe that FELS was as bad ad Mejia has made this?
Teresa is written with some intelligence and realism with their characters even the ones i don't like.TDA is just a hot mess that continues to get worst by the episode.After last night's second episode of absurdity i can definitely see why the writer quit on Mejia my only question is why she took this long to make that move?
This certainly gives proof to that old saying that there is no accounting for some people's taste!
My other question to you Jarocha is why is Teresa going back to two hours episodes i would think with some of the bad novelas that Univision or Televisas has been making lately they would want to keep a novela like Teresa on as long as possible.

"THEORY" as to why Teresa might be 2 hours as of this Monday.
Ok so its a little nutty but hear me out Univision has always wanted to pit Turdo del amor Vs Telemundos Reina del Sur and wouldn't you know it yesterday at 10pm just when its La Reinas big finale the biggest secret in that horrific excuse for a telenovela triunfo the whole reason that garbage is still on was finally gonna be revealed!!!
Victoria was finally gonna find out Maria D is her long lost daughter.
Now my theory involves and yes its a little silly Univision doing the math of how many weeks they needed to show Teresa for 2 hours and how many weeks they needed Triunfo to be on for either two hours or one hour so that people who like both Reina and Turdo would have to choose.
(On Reinas big final night)
My theory is a lil far fetched but I can NEVER see any episodes of Triunfo on you tube unlike Teresa which is on you tube full episodes no less.
And as crazy as this might be Turd-fest-del amor is Univisions highest rated novela(how sad lol) so from now on they will be cool to extend that nightmare as long as possible while Teresa is doing fine in the raitings they no longer care if it goes by quickly.
I'm not complaining though I like two hours of Teresa maybe Teresa recapers will just have to have a highlights recap.

Sandy!! Excellent recap y muchas gracias! Havent seen the ep yet but it is up on my DVR so I will.
Glad that Mariano was straightforward with Aida!
And that Art didnt let the credit card thing go.
Ah it's going back to two hoursss???? Ay, oh well. Just going to have to budget my time, somehow!
Again, Sandy, thanks! Such a great job!

Blu: I don't understand Univision's thinking and so far I haven't seen any theories pop up at the Uni forums. I think Uni has probably lost its mind, they hurried LLena de Amor's running because it had low ratings so they could put CME instead (because it was doing well in México) but CME has much worse ratings than Llena. They brought Teresa because it was a hit here but it turns out that TDA is doing better and they hurried TDA for some reason (possibly to fight La Reina del Sur) and now they are doing this to Teresa which has okay ratings and elevates 7 to 9 points from CME even if it is not reaching TDA's numbers.

The 7PM time slot is not an easy one to get good ratings in because half of your potential audience isn't home from work yet. I believe this is why Telemundo no longer airs novelas in this time slot. DVRs are a big help with this, but statistics on playback aren't added to ratings immediately.
And Telemundo's novelas are available on their website the next day. I don't think anyone has yet compiled stats on how many novela addicts watch both prime lineups because of this capability.

Sandy, great recap. Thanks a bunch!
"Esper tells Teresa that Arturo is a todo dar." It seems that Esperanza is destined for Hector and Paloma is destined for Arturo, but this scene got me thinking how righteous it would be if Arturo fell for Esperanza, a sincere, non-calculating, single mother from the vecinidad. Okay, it won't happen, but it would drive Teresa crazy so I love it.
