Cuando Me Enamoro #30 Wednesday 6/1/11 weird ep... a lot of older people totally clueless about their feelings which are obvious to everyone around them...

...and Carlos gets a painful message delivery‏

Recap by Marta Ivette

Renata/Hero... (Hero, clueless for a change .. NOT!) dont know what is wrong with me since I met you, dont know if i am coming or going... (she laughs)... my life depends on you... (smooch)... (Ok, let me get something clear here... isn't Hero the 'older, mature' one here? how come she is always clearing things up for him?)

Hero gets cell phone call from a mysterious person urgently asking him to meet them asap... he is ok, will see you then.

He tells Renata the call was about some of his investments which have taken a downturn... he is sorry he won't be able to spend the evening with her(he is building a strong habit of this, isn't he? didn't he let Roberta down sometimes too?)... she say dont worry... more smooching... suddenly he gets really anxious/angry.

Honorio/Adri at office...Honorio asks Adri to stay close to Matias(anyone would say he was Matias' dad... and not Gonzo)... she thinks its a pleasure for her(course!)... he says Mr Pathetic is too depressed, making too many mistakes(no wonder, the young one is inheriting the habits of the older one), could you entertain him a bit? (does this have a name? begins with E)... sure! On her way out, Adri asks Daniel who he is in love with.. he won't tell her because she won't tell who she loves... he dares her to spill out first... (where did this came from? did I miss something at that 'dinner party' at Aggie's house?)

Mr. Pathetic is remembering his kiss with Renata and keeps asking himself how can he forget her and assimilate that she won't be his... (sorry mr pathetic, but you might as well have a huge neon sign spelling LOSER on your head)

Back to the lovebirds... she tells him she doesn't know much about him... asks him to tell her more about his brother's death, he does not feel ready to do that (not a very talkative person in general, right Hero? the most reserved Hero in the world)... she asks him not to have secrets for her... he asks her to respond to a question in return... were you ever engaged to someone to get married? ... no... he can't believe a beautiful fragile loving person like her never gave her heart to anyone... she repeats she never has... because the right person never came... perhaps she has been waiting for him.. suddenly he kisses her roughly, she pushes back(Run, Renata!! Run!!)... then he feels bad, appologizes and makes his exit... she says love you as he leaves.

At the office Adri invites Matias to the movies with excuse that Honorio wants to visit Aggie and have a talk alone with her. Matias is reluctant, does not feel he is good company now... she says look at the positive... we could join lonelinesses... she finally convinces him. He says alright but dont get too close, I always hurt whoever gets close to me.(Mr Pathetic, are you also a relative of Dr David Baxter, better known as the HULK?)

Connie and Gonzo talk... she noticed he was not thrilled to find out Regina is engaged to Antonio... He says he knows these things happen but not ot him. It all started with a deep admiration. Don't know when it transformed into this feeling he has now (how old does this guy have to be to begin to take ownership of his own feelings/acts?)... He figures it was Honorio who told Connie, but does not want her to tell him. Connie says I love you and want to see you happy. Gonzo says his feeling with Regina had nothing to do with his wanting to separate from Fina (noooo! course not!). Connie say there is nothing written in this life. Finish your relationship with Fina and then see if the Regina hope gets fulfilled.

Regina and her mom talk about inviting the Monterrubios to the annual gala dinner. Cata asks if Gonzo knows about her engagement to Antonio.. Regina says yes. He is a smart man, should recognize the sign.. Regina stays alone, not sure what is going on with her when she has Gonzalo close... why is he not indifferent to me? (here is another grown up not taking ownership of feelings) ... Regina gets a call from Hero... She tells him about his name coming up in their celebration dinner conversation... she feels really odd about not telling them all she knows bout Hero ... he say not the right time yet... Regina says havent forgot your revenge... he says he loves Renata but is waiting for her to tell him about her relationship with Rafa.. Regina tells him he is doing the same about his relationship with Roberta... so dont expect something you are not willing to give yourself.

(the gardener who was working at Regina's office is now working at the club too? LOL)
Roberta and Sele discuss the news about Hero and Rafa being half brothers... Roberta would love for HEro to be as much a jerk as his brother and for him to drop Renata on a limb like Rafa dropped her... Sele asks if she is still planning to plant Rafa's baby on Matias... Roberta at first wanted to split Hero and Nata but now she wants Nata to suffer his betrayal just like she (Rob) suffered Rafa's.

Connie welcomes Nata in her house as she is putting her things away in her new room... Connie invites Nata to go with her to Regina's charity center to volunteer, at least until she finds a job. Nata more than willing... happy to do it.

Fina is going somewhere folder (investigation) in hand... she remembers kiling Rafa... and she thinks 'what do you know, Hero? what do you know?'

At Ines house, the family are talking... Andresito wants not only to be a doctor but he wants to start a charity center just like Regina's but it will be named 'noone gives up' and will tend to children with leuchemia... the phone rings, Ines answers. She gets really happy... turns out that she is a good bone marrow match to Adriancito. They have a family group hug and she thanks God for letting her be the one to help her son.

At the hacienda, they are taking a break from the 'podar'.(trimming?)... Carlos says he would be happy living there... Lazaro says so would I... but its over... Carlos gets a call, apparently from a lawyer telling him he has some papers for him to sign.. Matilde says maybe if you don't show up then we are delaying the sale of La Bonita... Turns out the call was made by Ezeq and Augie says tonight the 'fuereno' will find out who he messed with.

Alvaro gets home, he is drunk again... Kari sees a spot on his shirt.. makeup?... he denies... who were you with at the cantina? ... just the cantina people... why are you stained?... surely a patient in the office.... he assures her if there is any loyal husband in the whole guadalupe valley, that is me... once she leaves in a huff, he remembers the girl he was with at the cantina... He does not seem too worried about Kari being mad.. he pours tequila on the shirt stain and tries to hand wash it (LOL). After he falls asleep Kari comes back, grabs the shirt and cries hard.

Lazaro drops Carlos near the lawyer's office... some guys give him a pretty good beating.. with Ezeq and Augie watching on smiling happy... 'this is the way we welcome the ones who don't respect the bosses'.

At Regina's charity office, Connie comes in and shows Regina and Cata her surprise.. the new volunteer... Renata!.. Cata becomes instantly fond of Nata.. and they share a hug (grandma..and granddaught) so young and sweet... Nata gets a blush shower with many compliments. She lets them now that Gonzo is not her dad but he gave her all teh love as if he was... he took their mother and two girls after their father abandoned them. Regina asks then you had a difficult childhood? Nata says not as difficult as the women that come here. Nata says even when she gets a job she will continue coming ,even if for nothing else but chat... Nata finds out that Hero is a great friend and supporter of their charity... Connie shows bits of jealousy from Nata and Regina feeling so 'close' right off the bat

Agatha is coplaining of pain, gets a call from Adri, she tells Adri not to worry, will be here waiting for you... The doorbell rings... it is Honorio... She does not want him to stay, don't want Adri to see him there... He tells her Adri went to the movies with Matias ... he is there to find out what is going on.. she says she was afraid this would happen... it just did.

The mystery appointment of Hero's was none other than Fina... He is very polite and courteous with her. He says he was surprised by her call, and even more by her request that he not tell Nata about this meeting... she lies saying she is there because of concern for Nata... (nose starts to grow).. she thinks I dont care about her or what she does and says I don't support her... but she is my child and that is why I am here... (nose grows even more)... he says she does not approve his relationship with her daughter... she denies, says she just wants to know what their relationship is like and what are his intentions... he basically says we are two grown ups and we know how to handle a relationship.. iow, none of your business. She says Renata left her house in very bad terms, and her father will surely disherit her because of what she did to Matias... (nose is around the corner by now)...Hero says Renata's money is not important to him... Fina insists Roberta told her that Hero is having financial hardships... he says yeah thats right... Does Nata know? ... not yet... Fina then says just tell her right away so we dont have misunderstandings or unwelcome surprises later...

Then she sits down and keeps questioning... why did you enamour Rob then start all over with Renata? Hero explains to Fina how he met Nata first then lost contact with her until he saw her again at Matias party...

Fina.. why did you come to Mex... ? After she insists, he tells her 'came to Mex to ask for the hand of my brother's girlfriend in marriage... but that could not happen because my brother died before I got to Mex..' Nata does not know yet. She knows about my brother's death but she knows it is a hard subject for me to talk about. Fina has got the answer she 'came for'... she concludes Hero did talk to Rafa before he died... She takes her leave but not before throwing one last piece of hay in the milk cup... You really hurt Roberta when you exchanged her for Renata..

At the elevator, Fina asks herself 'what else do you know, Hero, that you did not feel like telling me?'..

Back to Aggie and Honorio.. he insists in finding out why Aggie's attitude... she even was the one who insisted with Adri to work at his company... She did not really want Adri to get famliar with Honorio but fate just came knocking... Honorio insists in asking who is the father of her child.. was it someone from our gang? From Adri's age, it might have been someone we know... Why don't you accept the company of those of us who love you... Adri asks 'who love me??... I don't want anything for me... just for her... i dont want to leave her uncared for... I never wanted her to find out who her father is but it now is inevitable.. want her father to protect and love her... Honorio asks again 'who is Adri's dad?' she just responds 'can't you tell?... Hon... no, it can't be me! I can't have... Yes, she is the daughter of the only man I have loved... she is yours...

Honorio gets upset that she never told him.. she says it was her responsibility, she did not take enough preventive measures... he insists she should have left him the decision... she was going to tell him on the day he broke up with her... she does not want Adri to find out, though... not until I die... Honorio insists it was unfair for her to hide this from him and Adri.. she says yes you are right, but your life would have taken a 180 degree turn... Adri was just mine... and will be until I die.. they you can take over her care... she knows I never wanted to tell you... that in our relationship only I loved... he say no, maybe not the same way, but he loved her too... she denied him the chance to see his only daughter grow and to take care of her... Aggie was assuming eh would have his own children... He reveals to her that Connie tried but could not have any.. Aggie tells him he can keep this hidden from both Adri and Connie... just stay close to our daughter. tell her you are close to her in honor of the friendship we once had.

Adri and Mr. Pathetic are at movies... she has to become a clown throwing popcorn to him, he calls her a little girl and she calls him 'embittered big-mouth, why don't you register with 'neurotics anonymous' or 'compulsive angry beasts' or 'amargators' (bitter-ators)?

Towns priest and some other guy find a beat up Carlos... In comes Lazaro and pulls Carlos on his shoulder to take him to Dr Alvaro for care...

Connie and Nata are having dinner together alone because Honorio, Connie seems a bit turned off by Honorio visiting Aggie alone. They get to the subject that Connie would have been a great mother.. She would have loved to have her own children... but it just did not hapen. Connie says unlike Regina's case, that was product of evil people. She tells Nata that Regina's daughter would have been around Nata's age. Everything Gina earns in her non-charity work she spends on investigations to try to find her daughter. Nata again mentions that Gina has been super special with her... Connie says they see their missing child/grandchild in you.. Nata says she wishes her mother would have been Gina.. Connie says dont say that, i am more due that title for my seniority in knowing you, you are making me feel jealous.

Alvaro tends to Carlos' wounds.. he has a broken rib and some bruises everywhere... Carlos does not recognize the men but he recalls what they said... 'that I had to learn who was boss in the Guadalupe valley...' the priest asks him if he knows who they were talking about. Alvaro, Lazaro, Kari, Eze and even Carlos look at each other... Alvaro and Eze are worried, Lazaro and Carlos are sort of mad...
end of ep

previews, some pictures with Gonzo and Gina get around... Nata has turned in the apple of desire... Matias, Hero and also Augie.. The competition for her is getting fierce!!.. Hero tells Augie in front of a proud Carlos and a worried Alvaro 'La Bonita and the lands will never be yours, I swear it!'

sorry its been a rough 49 hrs... so if I sound a bit too negative... I appologize but these 'older' characters seem to not be willing to show any maturity/stability

Comments:
Marta, I just had to tell you how much your title makes me laugh. So accurate, sad to say. Now I am going to go read the rest of your recap so I can comment on the episode's action. But just to start, I scared Willa into jumping up in alarm when I was screaming at the screen to make Agatha finally spit it out about Honorio's paternity. At last, ahhhh. The TV screen was not going to survive if she had continued playing her stupid game of hoarding her daughter when she knows her own life is ending.
 

Marta, awesome title. You're hilarious, when you kept talking about Fina's nose growing I thought I would fall off my chair laughing. Also funny how you kept calling Matias Mr. Pathetic. You did not cut that guy any slack at all.

I like this: "but not before throwing one last piece of hay in the milk cup".

Adri was funny, telling Matias to go to neurotics anonymous and all.

I notice the padre was sporting some pretty fancy boots tonight. He just might be the most modern guy in town.

Oh great, another emergency and the doc is drunk again. At least he didn't have to go digging around in any vital organs. Now that he is back in the picture he might have to be our Mr. Inappropriate again. How stupid do you have to be to go to the local cantina, come home with makeup on a WHITE shirt and then try to clean it with tequila?

I like the idea of a beautiful vineyard that is tended and nurtured by a group of lovely women.

Thanks Marta! Excellent recap and I appreciate your wonderful conversation translations.
 

I agree, the title got last night's episodes perfectly. I was laughing at some of the dramatics, but then I thought some of these folks haven't really had a decent relationship, so maybe I need to cut them some slack. They are actually having their first real "lurrrrvvvvv" experience. How sweet.

Cheryl - you and me both with Agatha. So will our "everyone's Dad" tell Connie? Something is going to split those two, we just know it.

Sylvia, I like your nominee for Mr. I. We know he's a sorry excuse for a doctor, but he's just a cretin and stupid in pretty much everything. Cleaning a lipstick stain with tequila - now that would have been a new and different product placement if it had worked. My other choice was Augie for setting those two thugs onto our Carlos. ( But we did get a nice abs moment out of it - so maybe we'll forgive right now).And Carlos knew full well who got him beat up - love those looks to our doc.

I was a little surprised by the Fina/Jero conversation. I thought she would rake Nata over the coals more. I'm sure she's not done yet. I love how everyone accuses him of dumping poor Roberta when they only had what, two dates. Yeah these people aren't too schooled in the ways of relationships. So "high school."

Speaking of "high school" will someone just slap Matias. One more scene with him crying over Nata and I'm going to reach thru my screen and do it. Cute scene with Adri at the movies - love she didn't try to put on airs or act flirty with him.

I'm thinking the guy at work is actually crushing on Adri and that when Matias gets possibly roped in by Rob, Adri may temporarily hook up with him (all the while pining for Matias). Have to have some poor sap that loves but isn't loved in return for the characters in waiting.

Can't wait for Jero getting into Augie's face tonight. That should start a whole new round of "evil".
 

Marta- I hope today is a better day for you. But the rough days you had gave us a sharp recap-- not too cranky at all. Just the right amount of snark.

Honorio may be good at being a father figure to the young-uns, and tracking down rascally Photoshop-ers, but he is really thick when it comes to reading old girlfriends. I assume he knows how sex works. And since he figured out that Adri was conceived near the time he and Aggie were dating, why was it so hard for him to make the leap to realizing Adri is his? I am very glad that cat is out of the bag. Even if he waits to tell Adri, I hope he tells Connie right away. Sure, she may feel a bit of resentment that in all these years she couldn't give Hon a child, and yet it was obviously easy for Aggie to get pregnant by him. But those feelings should be fleeting as she knows Aggie is an old girlfriend, knows why they broke up, was not in the picture at the time, likes Adri, likes Aggie, and feels sorry for the both of them since Aggie is dying. I hope she embraces Adri into their family.

Dr. Jero/Mr. Hyde is scary. I share your sentiment- run Nata, run! That aggressive kiss was scary. I think she's dismissing it as part of his pent up grief over his brother.

Can't wait for the showdown between Auggie and Jero tonight. Now we know why Jero keeps La Bonita. How did Auggie think he was going to get away with having the stuffing beat out of Carlos with no repercussions? Is he that arrogant? I guess so.
 

My DVR did not record last night, because it was on an hour early!! :-( So thank you Marta for the wonderful detailed re-cap I needed it this morning!!

I have to agree with most of the posts already, drunk doc is Mr. Inapp, as well as Augustin for hurting Carlos.

I'm really looking forward to the showdown between Jero and Augustin!!

Thanks again Marta very well done
 

Did y'all notice that when Chema the produce guy was at the country club Selene gave him a hard stare? Either she was totally checking him out (not hard to imagine) or maybe she knows him from somewhere.

Marta, you are so right about the adults not admitting their feelings to themselves. Like Daisy says, maybe they are not sure of their own feelings, hence the dragging of feet. However I'd say Gonzo is pretty sure of the way he feels about Regina.

Vivi, good point about Augustin's arrogance. I guess maybe he thought the city boy would go running back to the bright lights. However since Augie has not taken any time to explore Carlos's background that was a pretty big leap of faith. His plan was very short-sighted thank goodness.
 

Great recap--and "older people," just where is the cut off?

I thought Jero handled Fina perfectly--we're adults--and he told the truth about his arrival in Mexico. So, far the ultimate secret is still safe--WHO WAS that novia.....

What made Jero cross the line with that violent kiss? We don't get any flashback clues. He's been so tender, loving and playful with Renata so far. Was it Fina calling for the meeting? Well, he wanted to talk to her, while Renata had talked him out of it.

I vote Augie for Mr. Inappropriate. Not for setting up the beat-down, but for showing up to watch it happen and smile smuggly from the safe distance of his car. Guess he didn't want to go home with his shirt stained. Or, he didn't want to waste any good tequila to try and clean it off.
NOK
 

My issue with Jero (well, I have many with him) is that he has completely latched on to the idea that Renata is the only possibility for "La Bonita." He's convinced that she lied through her teeth about never being engaged before. And he seems to have gotten Regina to believe it too, as her reply was that he hasn't been totally truthful either. Guess what..he is the ONLY one who hasn't been truthful. Renata has put ALL her cards on the table. She even told him about her planned meeting with her friend Rafa who did not show up.

Why is Roberta not an option anymore? Is the 'R' necklace such a big piece of evidence? How does he know Roberta wasn't lying about NEVER taking it off? Hello! He's seen her a few times and she was only wearing that necklace once. He has seen Roberta be seductive (in his apt), flaky, and saw that she has a gold digger streak when she got upset that he might be broke. All of those things should be more red flags than some stupid necklace of dubious ownership.

Meanwhile, Renata is liked and loved by lots of good people, has shown herself to be a good person, is smart, funny and easy to be with, gave up her job, home and family for him, and declared her ability to support herself when he mentioned his own financial problems. What's so difficult to comprehend here?
 

Hi Marta...not too cranky at all and loved the "(nose starts to grow)....(nose grows even more)...(nose is around the corner by now)"! Just hilarious. Pinocchio is a wonderful cross-cultural reference for us all.

I was like you...Whuh? when Adriana asked Daniel who he loves. Where did that come from? Guess time will tell but continuity wise, it was a real glitch.

I have a tie for Mr./Ms. Inappropriate.

1) Jero for that aggressive psycho kiss he assaulted Renata with. Totally weird. And icky.

2) Adriana for talking loudly in the movies (her voice can pierce glass anytime) and throwing popcorn at the guy. I noticed the person next to her was cringing every time those kernels started flying all over the place. At home...okay...talk and throw all you want. In a crowded cinema...puhleeze! Just strange.

Sure Augie was yucky planning and observing the beat-down of Carlos. But it was "appropriate behavior" for a Bad Guy, which he is.

But Jero is supposed to be a sexy appealing galan, and Adriana is supposed to be an endearing amusing character. So their behavior in last nights episode was most definitely un-charming...and in my view, inappropriate.
 

Carlos Alert.....actually I think that should be "asks Daniel WHOM he loves." Oh my...
 

Marta, your recap was right on the money. You really have these characters pegged. Muchas gracias!

I so agree with Matias knighted as Mr. Pathetic. I understand if he has a case of the mopes for a few days, but please be mature about it!

I'm happy we didn't have to wait until capitulo 900 for Honorio to find out that Adriana is his daughter. The plot's really moving now! Coni will probably have a hard time with the news for a while, but from what we've seen of her there's no reason to believe she won't accept Adri. But who knows? Like Daisy said, *something* is going to break Hon/Con up in the future.

"Run, Nata, Run!" would be a great alternate title for the entire show. So many times I've wanted to scream at the screen, "Move away, Nata! Get your own apartment and a therapist! Do a Google search on Jero, it'll tell you Rafa was his brother before he ever does!" Alas, no one ever hears me except my confused roommate. ;)

Amy
 

Judy--Can I switch my vote to your nominee, Jero?

Meanwhile Adri wasn't the only one giggling and throwing popcorn, so it's unfair to single her out. I agree, their behavior was totally inappropriate in a public place, but they are both a bit juvenile, so the behavior itself was not inappropriate. I would have shusshhed them right out of the audience.
NOK
 

Great job, Marta. Very nicely done.

They've made it abundantly clear (mainly with sinister music) that Augie is bad, but I that he is sophisticated bad, not ham-handed bad. This assault on Carlos was stupid. Now he's screwed the pooch as we like to say here. A few days more and la Bonita is his free and clear, Carlos is gone, and he can podar the little vines to his heart's content... but NOOOOO...

Idiot...

Jerry seems to have a violent and downright mean side (certainly Mr.I. for this episode)... which fortunately he can put to good use soon in dealing with Augie.

Poor Honorio, I think he just didn't want to know the truth. Coni is a love, but I don't see this going down well.

Judy, thanks for bringing me down to earth. I thought Adriana was cute with her naughty child behavior, but then I wasn't one of those poor folks trying to enjoy the movie. How many times have each of us seen someone having a delightful time... at everyone's else expense?

Loved Dr. Slime trying to get the stain off with Tequila... who of us hasn't done the same?

Actually, I thought his excuse was plausible... patients hug me all the time. However, trying to remove the stain didn't help his case... stick by your story, Dr.

Carlos
 

Ok, Connie is human, but she should not have a major tantrum if Honorio had a child before he even met her... Apparently Gonzo introduced Honorio to Connie after both Gonzo and Honorio ahd made their fortunes, that must have been years after Honorio and Aggie broke up... so Connie being jealous of Honorio and Aggie having had a child... yes, I can see that but her tantrum should not be directed toward either of the three of them, it was noone's fault... things happen... if anything she might be mad at Aggie for not telling earlier.
And if she is true to her preaching, having Adri for a daughter should be a very happy news for her... but this is a TN, and somehow something will twist the whole development for sure.
 

Well, NOK, I'll soften my position a little bit...although Adriana started the lamentable (to my way of thinking) hijinks in the cinemas...she DID get Mathias to laugh! Certainly his first smile, giggle, laugh in a couple of tear-sodden days. So instead of sticking her with Ms. Inappropriate I'll give her some Golden Laurels. This leaves Jeronimo as the runaway winner for Señor Gawdawful.
 

Renata had a way better reunion with her long lost mother and grandmother than Maria over on TDA.
 

I think I forgot to thank you for the excellent recap! Thank you again.
 

I don't watch TDA but I gather the reunion did not go well, heh.
 

Sylvia- The grandmother has made attempts on her life and attempted to make her life miserable, and the mother has harassed and slapped her around. Nope, not good.
 

Yikes! I thought Renata had it bad. At least Nata's mom and abuela like her without even knowing who she is.
