Teresa Mon 6/20/11 #82 Blood In The Water; Teresa Starts Circling



Cap 82

As Viewerville returns to the battling de la Barrera’s, Aida’s come a-callin’ at the manse.  Reina makes the mistake of not announcing her to Teresa first and nearly gets her head handed to her for it.  Aeeeeda smirks and says no reason to take it out on the help just because she and Arturo are splitsville.   Yeah, she stopped by to rub Teresa’s nose in the fact that she’d just heard the two of them were having marital problems.   Come to think of it, she adds, the press will have a field day with the news: “‘the shortest marriage between attorneys de la Barrera –the attorney and his social-climbing wife!’ ” (And we’re certain she’d be the first to twitter them!)   Luisa walks downstairs and warns Aeeeda about giving Tere grief.  Aeeeda wonders why Lu’s defending her.  “—if you’d known her as long and as well as I have, Luisa!”  Lu offers to stay but Tere says after all these years she finds Aeeeda’s obnoxious behavior actually entertaining, so no reason to stay on her account.  Once Luisa’s out the door, Tere says she’s got Art wrapped around her little finger and can return to him at any time, unlike Aeeeda who can’t with Mariano.  That was totally her choice, replies Aida.  If it were up to him we’d still be together!  Tere looks as if she might half-way believe it, too.

Across the tracks, in mama Rufugio’s uber-humble walk-up de vecindad, Juana races in to complain that she learned now that Cutberto has run off with a teeny-bopper, the cradle-robber!  Refusio clears that up explaining that he was only helping Johnny get Pati, his GF, out from her grandpa’s clutches so they could live together now that she’s turned 18 and is of age.  

Back on the Barrera Battlefield,  Aeeeda continues taunting Tere.    This was to be expected when there’s no love in a marriage. “—you’re paying for marrying for money!”  Tere quips back that she must be speaking from years of experience with her own parents.  Aeeeda says hey, don’t waste time [no tener caso= pointless] bringing them up!   She’s a newlywed and look at her!  Already lost him!   Is that losing out or latching on, queries Tere.  Look at what she’s grabbed onto for herself in so little time:  half a fortune, a partnership in Luna Torquesa, partner in the top law practice in the D.F., and a mansion!  So, as dueña of the mansion she’s kicking her buttinsky outta there!  Get the effin’ lost!  ¡Largate!  Papa Armando walks in at that point and Aeeeda leaves.  Tere tells her papi not to worry cuz it’s obvious just how envious Aeeeda is of her now.

Pati and Johnny are still having their kicks at the amusement park.  She tells him she still doesn’t know where he’s got her staying, especially now that he can’t reach his buddy (Fito- rhymes with "me-slow" which is definitely Johnny’s problem) to make the arrangements.  “--Oh, what the heck?  Let’s play some more!  It’s a birthday celebration!  She’s of age!  FF>>

We travel to Aurora’s house where cheery Martin is ready to pick her up and take her out or somewhere.  Aurora, he notes, is down in the mouth.  Why?  Aurora proceeds to tell him about her discussion with Mariano earlier and “what she felt for him.”  Ruh-roh!!  Aurora learns that principles come with a price.  Sometimes there’s such a thing as too much honesty!  

At the same time, Tere shows up at Mariano’s office.  He wonders if she’s come to gloat over the way she got her hubby to reinstate him at the Foundation.  No, she says, he did admit it was unfair and wanted to correct it.  She’s there to say he was right about her rushing into marriage with Arturo and she’s since asked him for a divorce.  Mariano is suddenly “Get-real!”-impactado. 

Back at Aurora’s, Martin is in the middle of blowing another gasket…and another…and another!   “—You told him that you loved him?  Or you told him that you are in love with him now?  What reason did you have to even bring it up?  What happened?”  Aurora tries to explain how she and Teresa were chatting about closing the circle—.  “—Oh, wow!  TERESA!”  “—and I simply wanted to get that kind of impediment out of our relationship so that we could be completely happy.”   She was doing it for the two of them and their future, to avoid what happened between Paloma and Arturo.  (This kind of female logic is no logic at all.)  No, he says, it sounds more like she was trying to see if there was still any “there” there for Mariano, if she might ever have a chance!  (Crap!  Take it like a man, you jerk.  You knew what you were getting into.)  He’s the third wheel around there, he figures.   They’re finito!  He walks out.

Back at Mar’s office, Tere informs him that Art’s not living at the house any longer (the putz).   So?  Why should he care?    She insists she’s trying to be serious and he should believe her!   Oh, he sneers back, like he believed her the night before her wedding when she told him she’d marry him instead?  She says because what they’ve shared just doesn’t die.  He reminds her of the way she humiliated him at the church.  Well, she says, circumstances demanded it.   No biggy.  He was the first man in her life and the only one that’s ever mattered to her.   He says he’s wise to her ways now and with every word he looks for the escape hatch.  (“Back” tras something I didn’t totally catch—essentially, the double-meaning cuz he doesn’t trust her).   She diverts.  “—You broke up with Aida today.”  Yeah, he admits, but she was also back to tell him how much she loves him still.  (Fine.  Looks like Tere’s up for the challenge.  Aida’s not getting the better of her!)

At Ruben’s law office, meanwhile, Amadeo refuses to sign for a check that pays him for his silence.  He wants cash [effectivo] of course.  No signatures and no receipts.  Ruben thought he had a rube.  The only rube in this turns out to be him.

In Mariano’s office, Tere fishes for Mariano’s intentions with Aurora.  Yeah, she’s sweet, beautiful, and totally trustworthy!  “—And happy with Martin.”  No need to fish with him.  She knows he wants her still and so, tonight she’ll meet Mariano at their old meeting place, and there’ll be a big surprise waiting for him.  Tere kisses him sensually on the cheek and strolls out the door.  (Mariano, you’re a chump!  That is chum minus the p, which is what Tere has just done all over you.)   Yep, he’s so much chum in the water.

Aeeeda and Maira now show up at Ruben’s office to continue their examination of the books with Amadeo.  (I got lost in the financial weeds in their discussion.)  He manages to stall a bit and divert them somehow.  

Refusio still can’t get hold of Johnny.  She tells Juana that although Johnny had talked a good game, she never thought he’d actually go through with things.   Now she’s learned that Grumps is reporting him to the police!  They have to warn him before Espe finds out and it harms her pregnancy!!

Johnny and Pati are still at the amusement park.  She hints she wants to go all the way with Johnny now that she’s an adult.  Johnny, though, is still a bit slow on the uptake.  He is still happy just playing kissy-face.  (The guy is such a …social retard!  Definitely not Mensa material, either.)  >>

Grumps is bawling out Pati’s father for not showing up, either.  Forget her!  Forget it!  He hangs up and remembers how her bio-daddy got her mama pregnant and then dumped her when Grumps said they weren’t getting a centavo from him.  He was forced to marry her off to somebody she didn’t love just to keep it all legit.  He bemoans the way history is repeating itself.

Tere stops by Aurora’s next for a quick chat.   Aurora tells her about the kerfuffle with Martin earlier.  Art calls to ask Tere to meet him for lunch so they can talk things over.  She tells him she’ll think about it.  Click.  Aurora asks if she and Art get divorced would she run back to Mariano.  Tere avoids answering by suggesting she’s still not divorced, but then says she’s not sure.

Ramon stops into visit with Mar and ask him to lunch.  He sees the picture of Mar and Aurora and says what a shame he’s not dating her.  Mar says well, too late.  He didn’t see the handwriting on the wall.  Anyway, Teresa tells him she’s getting divorced.  Ramon is knock-me-over-with-a-feather-impactado.  He immediately screams at Mar to forget ever getting back with Teres again.  How could he even consider it after what she’s done to him?

Martin runs into Art at the restaurant.  He’s pissed when Art tells him he’s giving control of the Foundation over to Ruben to avoid problems with Teresa.  Marty says Art should be running things and he again blames this mess on Teresa.

Buttberto and Refusio find Espe at the hospital to tell her about the legal fix that Johnny’s in.  Buttberto looks at his shirt and plays with his buttons.  It wasn’t his doing.  He was just there to help out a buddy.  How’d he know the kind of trouble his friend was getting’ into???  (Viewerville takes one look at Butt-bo and wants to pull its hair out thinking “Juana wants to marry this?”  Teresa’s brilliant, beautiful, talented, and classy madrina wants to bag ‘n shag this?)   Of course, Espe faints dead away.  Mariano is called in to bring her back.  They go into his office where he tells Buttberto what an ass he was for getting involved, not to mention not trying to stop him. 

Aurora finds a little consolation from Papa Hector over the Martin problem.   

Mart and Art, meanwhile, commiserate over Mariano and the giant pain in the patoot he is.  He talks Art into looking for Tere and insisting on making up.  Marty calls up Aurora.  He’s trying to locate Teresa he says, for Art--who is three sheets to the wind all ready and in the process of tying on three more.  She thinks he’ll also want to discuss their problem.  No such luck.  Click. 

Juana shows up back at the manse to tell Tere what’s up with Johnny.  Espe calls and Tere says sure she’ll help advise her.  (Heck, a little pro-bono is always good for the tax situation.)  She suggests that somebody go back to the vecindad and stay with Espe.  Juana figures she’ll wait till the next day.  Tere goes later to give Espe legal advice. 

Johnny checks his cell for phone calls and messages.  Hmmm.  Seems tons of people have tried calling him.  Gema also.  She won’t need his services for a while.  Johnny calls Espe who tells him to rush home cuz there’s a problem with Pati and everyone’s looking for him.  When he gets back to the vecindad, Espe hauls off and slaps the stupid jerk.  She tells him he’s in trouble with the law now, and even if he married Pati immediately, their lives are all ruined!

Art and Mart head for the vecindad where Art’s sure he’ll find Teresa, and probably that sumb!tch, Mariano, together!!  He’s not far off the mark, either.  


Teresa gets Mariano to help her with mama’s overload of laundry supposedly.  Then, up on the roof top, she says it was just an excuse.  He sees the table set up and says it reminds him of the night he first proposed to her.  Tere says she’d love to go back in time.  Mar says that’s impossible and too much has happened.  Things change.  She knows now that he was right and that she rushed into marriage with Arturo.  (Five years getting to know the man is rushing things?  Puh-leese!)   He can’t get the way she humiliated him out of his craw.  As many times as he begged her too!  He admits that he gave up when he realized he couldn’t compete with her ambition.  He can’t imagine, either, why she’d bother coming back to him since now she has everything she ever wanted –-wealth, social position, a partner in the best law firm.   She bats her eyes up at him.  “—I don’t have you!”  She moves in for the kiss.  He doesn’t pull back cuz, in the lingo of the Borg, resistance is futile.  He’s into the kiss in nothing flat.  Hot sizzle and damned.

WHY?????

...did Aurora tell Martin what she told Mariano?

...are Johnny & Patty chillaxin' in the park when they're supposed to be on the run?

...did Mariano fall for Tiburoncita's ruse of washing clothes for her mother?

LOL @ the Mariano haters' club and Arturo marching down to the vecindad AGAIN (in the previews). He needs to go to AA and Oceanica with Leonela from TDA.

I would say that Teresa wouldn't like it if somebody treated Refusio the way she treats Reina and the choffer, but knowing Teresa she'd probably join in.

Methinks Teresa was spurred to make her move (again) on Mariano b/c of Aurora's confession. Give it up, chick! You are not the only pair of big boobs in the sea.
 

I am very disappointed in Martin! If you really, really love someone the way he's convinced me that he really, really loves Aurora, you don't kick them to the curb for doing one stupid thing.

But LOL in the Heartbreak Hotel:

Arturo: I've only had (hic!) three drinks.

Martin: You've had three SINCE I GOT HERE, for God's sake!
 

Heres still hoping Mariano had been hurt too much for him to get back with Tere.
I understand Martin's reaction. I mean why would you tell Mariano that you loved him? If you're happy with Martin there should be no excuse for that.
I'm worried Ruben and Geno go through with the plan to take Espe's kid. Hopefully Mayra discovers the fraud and sends Ruben to jail.
Poor Art... Drinking his life away. Does anyone know how rich Art is? Any chance he drinks his fortune away?
 

Here's hoping Teresa hears Arturo coming and her usual reaction is what FINALLY gets Mariano to see that she'll never give up her dreams of wealth and status for him. Ugh! so disappointed in him.

Tasha Fl
 

Note to Aurora, you don't have to straighten everything out with the first amor to love someone else again, her "circle" theory. Plenty of people have had terrible breakups and gone on to love again without "completing the circle" with the first love!

Blue Lass, I was surprised how quickly Martin walked away from Aurora, but in a way I was relieved to see someone figure out what a mess Teresa, Arturo, Mariano and Aurora are in and want nothing to do with it!
 

for someone who is supposed to be so smart, arturo sure makes some bad decisions--he trusts teresa with his heart and ruben with his money. pretty soon he is going to be hitting johnny up for advice ;-)
 

I don't think Arturo would drink his fortune away; what's more likely is that Ruben will embezzle the foundation money. Unless Aida exposes his previous activities with her mother's fortune first. I'm rooting for her to do that.

I don't think we're going to see the end of the Johnny and Pati story until he gets arrested and she gets shipped off to a convent.
 

Okiedokie! It's posted now.
 

Great recap! Lots of stuff that made me laugh...Ruben the rube, Mariano the chump with or without the p, Juana's low-aiming "bag 'n' shag" goals, resistance is futile. Well done.

I am SO disappointed in Mariano, even though I know we're not near enough to the end for him to completely smarten up. Teresa must wear some powerful pheromone perfume.

Why exactly is Johnny in trouble? Pati is an adult now and she left with him willingly. As far as I know, being an idiot is still not a crime. And the police don't know about the drug deliveries.

I was surprised by Martin's reaction. I guess everyone has their limits. But he knew Aurora was in love with Mariano and he wanted to try to win her over anyway. Did he think he had already done that?
 

"Hitting Johnny up for advice"! Too funny, Kristoise!
 

Johnny & Pati will probably get married to prevent him from going to jail and her from being shipped off to the convent.

I felt sad for Grumps last night, but if he had just let Pati hang out with Johnny, she probably would have gotten turned off by Johnny's stupidity and dumped him.
 

I was surprised by Martin's reaction. I guess everyone has their limits. But he knew Aurora was in love with Mariano and he wanted to try to win her over anyway. Did he think he had already done that?

------------------------------

Well, since Aurora had sex with him....yeah.
 

Wonderful recap! Thanks amiga!

I think the heart of why Martin was upset is what he said about her hoping this would wake Mariano up and he would declare his mutual feelings for Aurora. If Mariano had said, "I am so over Teresa. I love YOU Aurora and want to be with you." What would Aurora have done? Wouldn't it have been bye bye Martin? In a way, wasn't she looking for an opportunity to dump Martin? I'd be upset too.

Mariano and Art need to pull themselves together and stop letting their lives be dictated by the whims of Teresa.
 

On Arturo, " pretty soon he is going to be hitting johnny up for advice" good one Kris!

On Aida catching Ruben " I'm rooting for her to do that." Me too UA! I think some of the most gratifying scenes are watching Aida go over the books. She'll catch Ruben, I hope it is sooner rather than later. That was a good one when the accountant told Ruben that he didn't trust his check, after all Rub is cheating his own wife of her money!

Rulli is doing a good job on playing drunk, so often that is played in a slapstick way. Martin was good in that scene as well.
 

I love watching Aida take charge at the office -- Ruben isn't going to be able to fool her for long.
 

Jardinera, thanks for the stellar recap. I'll admit my head was spinning with some of the conversation, especially the financial stuff. However it was very clear that Martin is NOT on board with Teresa and/or Rube having any sort of control over Luna Turquesa. Good for him! Art keeps hitting himself over the head with the stupid stick.
 

Lost all respect for Mariano. What a lower head driven idiot! The previews show them half clothed in Mariano's bed. I thought he was suppose to be intelligent. He seemed like was finally telling her to get lost.
Oh! It just occurred to me---> remember when Mar told Ter she could always go to him for "fun"? Maybe thats whats going on and he'll end up telling her thats all it was. Amante Time. Oh I hope so. Please dont let Mariano be a lunkhead.

Johny acts so menso because hes a 30 year old actor trying to come across as a 19 year old. Hate his acting, hate that storyline.

Hope Art does not catch Ter Because I want her to get kicked to the curb by Mari and she stays with Art and develop a devious storyline that puts the two of them on the same side.

Teresa was made for Arturo. She just doesnt see it yet. How could she ever be happy with white bread Mariano when she has whole grain Arturo?

Diann
 

Loved the recap Jardinera. I'm shaking my head at Mariano. He's really stupid to fall for Teresa's mechanisms after how she humiliated him at the church. This of course is Teresa trying to hold on to him while reeling in Fernando for his money and getting a huge divorce settlement from Arturo.

In the previews, Teresa and Mariano are going horizontal on the couch and it appears that Arturo with Martin in tow busts them. This should be good.

I also want to see Arturo stop drinking. I hate seeing him fall off the wagon like this.
 

Jardinera, "in the lingo of the Borg, resistance is futile" - lol. Thanks for a fun recap.

Bravo for Martin. Yes, I'm sure once Aurora slept with him he felt she was his. He as much as told Mariano this, without giving details of course. Martin is naturally hurt and angry that Aurora's still longing for Mariano and I'm glad he let her have rather than being understanding like a chump. He got a bit sexier to me last night. Martin's witty, tall, rich, and makes homemade baked goods. Hope he finds the right one. Maybe Aida somewhere down the road.

Mariano and Arturo are both estupidos when it comes to Teresa, but Mariano is worse because he knows more about her lies. I hope Fer does take Teresa (sorry, Luisa) so Mar and Art can scratch their heads and say "Que the hell?"
 

Yep, Fer and Teresa should run off together. A moment of pain for Luisa is better than a lifetime of misery. I think Martin would be perfect for Luisa.

Whatever happened to Curlz? He needs to reappear and add himself to the tangle.
 

If Teresa scores a fat divorce settlement from Arturo the Mexican justice system isn't worth a bowl of frijoles.

What is Ruben spending his stolen money on?
 

Speaking of the Mexican justice system, how is it that Don Porfi can threaten to throw Johnny into jail? Wasn't that the whole point of waiting until the jailbait ripened -- so she'd be legal?

Not that I care. What a yawnfest.
 

Ruben is stealing the money from Mayra to invest in Luna Turquesa. He figures he'll make a boatload of money and be able to put Mayra's money back without her knowing about it. He can then have more money than Mayra b/c without her money, he really doesn't have much.
 

Jardinera a great recap as usual and you're a trekkie too on top of all of that? Excellent job and thank you.

One little thing when Teresa went to go see Mariano at his office was her reaction when he told her that Aurroa admitted her true feelings for him she wasn't expecting that at all. She thought Aurora was going to keep on being quiet about it.I think that little nugget caused her to set up operation seduction of Mariano at the vecindad.

Of course Mariano stupidly falls for her lies once again, as the Borg say " Resistance is futile" haha good one.

I'm on the fence with Aurora being honest with Martin because she has always been honest from the beginning in this relationship towards Martin. So i can't kill her for that but at the same time i do agree with Sandy that maybe she was a bit too honest at this point with Martin especially after she had sex with him. If they didn't have sex then i guess i would be on Martin's case for blowing up at her like that. But he did assume that since she consented to sex with him that their relationship was heading towards marriage.

Bravo to Amadeo he isn't a rube after all another good one Jardinera. He's correct in wanting all of their transactions done by cash. He knows Ruben will probably make him the fall guy if he signs the checks Ruben is giving him if the fraud is caught by Aeeeeeeeeeeeeda.

Speaking of Aeeeeeeeeda please get a life your obsession with everything concerning Teresa is very disturbing. It's not normal and it seems she and Geno are setting up Teresa to be caught tonight. Can't wait for the discovery of Geno and Ruben.
 

Thanks all!

Tonight has got to be a barnburner episodio! We're not even halfway through this tn, either!

I can see Arturo dying from a wasted liver in a few years and leaving it all to Teresa to spend on frufrus and Mariano or Fernando. She's still got a few lives left, anyway. LOL!

I'm rooting for Hector to finally win Juana. I'm so sick of Buttberto! I hate his irresponsible attitude and his big mouth. If Tere does nothing else decent in her life please have her convince Juana that she has nothing truly in common with this bobo in a charro.
 

I'm late in watching this episode and want to thank you for the fantastic recap!

Tomorrow's ep looks to be a doozy. Can hardly wait!
 

So there won't be a episode for tomorrow because of the soccer.Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i need my Teresa fix it's bad enough i have to wait two days on the weekend but now this?
 

Jardinera, thanks for this great recap and I had some good laughs. There seem to be quite a few chum(ps) but Martin has Teresa's number. If Mariano has fling it may be because he and Art have been vying all this time for Teresa and he has those ill feelings left for Art and doesn't care how Art feels. Mariano may be toying with Teresa as well, I hope. The promos always make it seem that Art will discover Ter and Mar on Mar's bed. Uh, oh, Poor Art.

My remote was busy last night as I had to get away from anything having to do with Johnny, Paty, Gramps and Buttberto and then it seemed all the other characters were pulled in with them as well. Hope Johnny and Paty leave town pronto. Sorry to keep mentioning this but they are so annoying.

Will Mariano pursue Aurora when he finds out she and Martin have ended it? Or will he keep getting involved with Teresa?
