Cuando Me Enamoro #33 Monday 6/6/11 Looking for Love (and Truth) In All The Wrong Places
The Hacienda Bonita won’t be sold and Fina will have her Tumah confirmed for a price. Renata presents the condemning photos of Regina and Gonzo in full dress. Jeronimo tears up the P&S Agreement; Regina defends her innocent relationship to Renata. Renata isn’t embittered for long and explains that Gonzo wants to divorce her mother. Jero hands over a check to cover the penalty of breaking the contract. He respects his hacienda staff too much and Augie will never get La Bonita. Dr. DoLessThanLittle tries to console Augie doggie. Renata says her mother is so upset. Regina tells her that her husband deceived her too 23 years ago so she understands but she would never get in the way of any marriage. She would like to talk to Fina but Renata doesn’t think her mother would be willing.
Outside the lawyers, Jero laughs and tells Lorenzo he will honor the love his brother had for this land and the people.
Gonzo tells Honor and Matias that he is worried about the doctor's report on Fina's tests. So he will wait to see.
Roberta brings tea to Fina and they laugh, Diego interrupts by cell that he has been kicked out by his father so he needs to see her at the club post haste. Fina wants to bathe and will go with Rob to see Diego
Spare Girl says she can see the kind of man Jero is that he will never give in. Augie is irate and sends her to her room with Ezek and swears he will get revenge on Jero.
Lorenzo brings the exciting news to Matilde she now declares that Jeronimo is once again the hermoso. She is going to prepare a mole para chupar los dedos(the most delicious mole ever.)
Carlos and Jero toast, I guess to keeping La Bonita. Might as well enjoy this moment, it won’t come around again soon.
Constanza assures Inez and Regina that Fina is capable of anything and has been a thorn in Gonzo's side and hers too for a long time. Mom enters and wants to know what Gonzo and Regina have to do with anything.
In the garage, Adriana, says to Renata she thinks Regina is an honorable person. Regina is confused by the urge to defend her sainted mother’s honor but still feels so comfortable and useful at the Center but she must honor her mother and her mother’s unholy snit.
Blanca comes for an interview with Honorio. She walks in provocatively with her resume. The camera doesn’t waste much time lingering over her face but goes straight to her more obvious administrative office assets.
Antonio shows up at Regina’s office. Inez and Mama try to say she is off on Centro business. He seems agitated that something is up, Mama knows that sometime or other this Gonzo-Regina combo is going to be trouble.
Honorio says it seems you like a challenge, eh? (retos), Blanca Ocampo loves to learn new languages, is addicted to work and leans over to assure Honorio that he can be familiar (tutear) her anytime too. She wants to work with him but needs to hear soon since she is entertaining other offers. He is pleasured and will tell her by tomorrow needs to consult his associates for a hiring so important.
Conzta and her pretty boy green grocer, Chema, who might be so much more laugh. She asks how went the conquest, he wants to know why she is sounding like his mother, but he doesn’t want to think of her like she is. He is going to make a chocolate cake , which is her favorite. His dream is to one day have his own restaurant perhaps with her. More stakes driven into the heart of this once perfect seeming marriage…
Carlos, thinks even though he was injured he would like to stay on as the administrator of the Hacienda. He thinks that he can bring Renata to romance her and since she will be closer than ever to Rafa, one day she can be persuaded to tell Jero everything that happened between her and Rafa.
The office call to take blood samples Dr. PaidInFull accepts his first check and says he will be sure her husband is totally convinced of her illness.
Diego shows up poolside to demand that Roberta tell him exactly what she wants to assuage his father.
Adriana is accused by Office Goon whose name I can't remember (Daniel, thanks C2 readers) he is so annoying, that he has seen her too close to both Matias and Honorio. He says that Honorio is too enamored of her . She says even so that problem is mine, but he insists it is also his. Presumption thy name is TWIT!
Augie orders Ezek to keep him informed of absolutely everything that happens at La Bonita
The party arrangements are made and Jero answers his phone they talk lovingly and Renata strokes her beautiful stallion (the one in the stall) while she flirts that she misses him he is so handsome. Then she jumps to who is Regina and says that her mother thinks Regina is the cause of her marriage problems.
The troubled husband greets Regina at another restaurant. She wants to clear up she wants no trouble with his family and that they need to declare that they are only friends. He then confesses that actually it is not her fault that he is leaving Fina for separate reasons going way back, but he confesses he is totally in love with her.
She never provoked this he is a married man, she cannot be the cause of his divorce. He starts the cuando me enamor. Besides she defends herself saying she is engaged. While Gonzo soberly asks her if she is truly in love with Antonio. Her big expressive eyes speak volumes.
Regina says the ring she is wearing should be a statement of her intentions. She urges him to clear up all this with his family and assure them she is not trying to break up his marriage. And she also thinks they must not see each other ever again. He wants to help her center and support her. He asks her to have faith in him.
Roberta is patrolling the stairs and tries to sop Renata from going up to see Mama Fina. Renata demands that Roberta give back the R necklace which is the one that is hers, and Oh yes, she slaps her sister silly and demands that she has equal rights to be there and to be concerned about the family.She points out that that the R neclace that is hers has a distinctive chain as she snatches it back.
Honorio tells Matias and Gonzo about the hot job candidate. Gonzo demurs and Matias wonders what is wrong with Papa. Nothing says Gonzo as he replays Regina’s rejection telling him they shouldn’t see each other again in his head, but I just need to be alone.
Roberta screams that Renata has ruined everything and she will take over for Matias, Dad and Renata is going to be left alone loved by no one. You wish nasty sister, you wish. Renata, self assured from how good that slapping felt, stomps up the stairs.
Regina tells Inez that Gonzo confessed his love and she confesses to Inez that she realized at that moment that she feels love for Gonzo too and not Antonio in this same way. It is the first time she has felt like this since Roberto. Oh thank God for girlfriends who let you speak the truth.
Renata knocks and comes into Fina’s room. Fina screeches that Renata is causing trouble by fighting with her sister. She demands that Renata leave the house and leave her in peace she is such a troublemaker in the family. But what happened when you accused Regina of stealing Gonzo? She says she has no responsibility and is not involved with Gonzo like that. Fina is in a fury and when Renata says Jero says she is an honorable woman, Fina is even madder, she doesn’t care a bit what this man said.
Inez and Regina talk about what will she do with Antonio now that she has discovered what she feels with Gonzo.
At La Bonita, Jero hands Carlos an envelope with the letter from la Bonita (Rafa’s misdirected name for Roberta) and puts the R necklace in his hands too. He wants to forget this revenge. He wants to be happy and he is going to go for it.
Augie questions Ezek ‘s wife and learns that all the workers are happy that Jero will keep La Bonita and they will keep their jobs. She asserts sweetly that he is really good people like his brother Rafa, may he rest in peace. Ezek looks worried, Augie looks mad.
He has decided to bet on love (apostar la amor) even though it is difficult, says Jero as he gets in the car with Lorenzo to drive to the airport.
Renata answers the door to get a package, gives the deliveryman a handsome tip and is like a giggling girl even though she has been beaten back by her mother just a short time before. The note says he had the temerity to send this gift and just wait, tonight will be unforgettable. She takes out a lovely slinky evening gown. She thinks it is precious and she loves him so.
Antonio questions Regina about the day, she tells him that she is being blamed by Fina for Gonzo‘s marital problems. He knows well that Gonzo cares too much for her, she wonders what he was feeling about this and why didn’t he tell her of his fears, because he says, he believes in her.
Last licks: Jero visits Rafa’s grave to tell him he loves Renata so much he has decided to leave behind all his resentments (rencores) and He hopes that Rafa will one day forgive her. He loves Rafa so, his little brother.
Fina gets that Dr. PaidWell’s report and reads it with orgasmic glee.
Inez comes home to Andrecito with chocolate and vanilla ice cream. The boys appear with their white hats and shaved heads. How precious and it was a brilliant idea. She is going to do it too. But now the munchkin likes her hair too much and he hands her a white hat to keep them company . She is so proud of them. Don’t cry, remember that around here no one is defeated. . I am not afraid because I have you at my side.
Dinner at the Gonzo house, is interrupted by Diego, whom Mat tries to strangle but all gather to hear why he came. Diego declares that he was the one who acted alone. The Photos were a montage but he alone was responsible. Gonzo calls him a coward which he accepts. He avers he was rejected by Regina and feared he would be by Roberta too, She is worth so much more than her sister, he should have fallen in love with her instead. She sniffs, I gag and Mama Fina gets Gonzo to apologize for doubting the innocent Roberta. Fina declares to Roberta that now she has been cleared of the unjust suspicions and denunciation. Both smile in self love.
Next: Renata and Jero have their lovely and loving date that looks like a proposal. Later Fina digs the knife into Jero that it was Renata who betrayed his brother Rafa. Don’t count on him being smart about who Fina really is.
Vocabulario:
No me importa un bledo – It doesn’t mean anything at all to me. Fina and Augie both use this a lot.
Chupar los dedos – so delicious it’s finger licking good. (My sometime Ecuadorian Spanish professor finds this image utterly distasteful swearing he never licks his fingers).
Penoso – painful, pitiful, embarrassing (Regina describing to Antonio her encounter with Gonzo)
Se rinde – be overcome, be vanquished
Apostar la amor – to bet on love
Rencores - resentments

Caray! Lucrecia's nana Delfina (Mi Pecado) sure cleans up nice, and has turned into corporate seductress Blanca! This should be interesting to watch. Hon and Con's marriage is in trouble for sure. The toy boy is even talking long term-- opening a restaurant with Connie.
That slap Nata gave Berta was SO satisfying, as well as her ripping the necklace off her scrawny neck. Nata made one point that will surely be important later. She said that the chain (cadena) of her necklace is distinct/different than Berta's. I bet it's the exact same as Regina's.
Can't wait for the romantic evening tomorrow, but looks like Jero will get stupid again after Fina drips her poison into his ear.
"Presumption thy name is TWIT!", my fave! I nominate him for Mr. Inappropriate tonight. As usual he's got a lot of competition, but he came so far out of left field that he's my candidate.
Blanco Ocampo...ruh roh!
"[Renata] slaps her sister silly", REWIND!
"Don’t count on him being smart about who Fina really is." OK I won't hold my breath.
Dang, Gonzo is a dumba**. I can't believe he rolled over so easily with Diego's lies.
Vivi, thanks for the bit about the chain. I totally missed that and I'm sure it will be important.
Thanks again Cheryl. I laughed all the way through your excellent recap instead of gritting my teeth through the episode.
The scene between Regina and Gonzo was a BIG surprise!
Thanks for clarifying about the chain being different Vivi - I missed exactly what was different.
I'm glad Renata got her R back - and with such style! How nasty Roberta is. But now Renata has set herself up for accusations that she stole Roberta's R. How will she prove the R belongs to her? Who else would remember the chain?
I'm really not sure what Roberta was able to give Diego in exchange for his performance. His father had already fired him - or thrown him out - correr. What can Roberta possibly deliver?
There was another new vocab word for me tonight - corretear - Chema used it when explaining about him spending time with Roberta's friend. In this context it means to hang out, loiter.
Cheryl - Your Ecuadorian professor must never have eaten a messy taco. Mexicans eat a lot of food with their hands.
Audrey
And, in complaining about Honorio, I mean they've already set things up to look potentially suspicious to Constanza about Agatha and Adriana. So we gotta pile it on with the new bodacious lady in the office too?
Audrey
"More stakes driven into the heart of this once perfect seeming marriage…"
Well said. Chema is besotted with Coni, Blanca (and her assets) is surely going to make matters even worse, and there's still the secret of Adriana being Honorio's daughter. How many more anvils do we need before Hon and Con are crushed?
Daniel really *is* a twit, isn't he? He has designs on Adri but from what we've seen so far, he certainly does not deserve her.
Three cheers for Renata!!! No one (except Fina) deserves a good healthy slap like Roberta. Of course she gets to play the victim just like Mami always does.
Pobre Jero has now become Fina's next target for ruination. She gets two for the price of one by spreading her litany of bile; she can destroy both Jero and Renata in one fell swoop. Ugh, I can't look. We're in for a lot of misery on all sides here.
Amy
Poor Honorio, such a nice guy that is going to get sooooo much grief for what? It seems like an unimportant turn of the knife but I guess our favorite compatible couple can't have smooth travels in the midst of the uproars happeining and to come.
Thanks Vivi for pointing out where I'd seen Blanca before. I was so tired last night, and lazy to check who was playing the part,but it drove me crazy knowing I'd seen here. Hey, and Love the interview outfit. That whole scene was just too funny. Honorio's double take made me think of one of those Looney Tune cartoons where the characters eyes pop three feet out if their head. yeah, he's toast.
Like the way they went right to a Coni/Chema scene right after that. I hate to say it, but dang, those two are cute together. At least they'll be a better temporary pairing than Blanca/Hono if they go that route.
I am so hating that fact that Jero and Nata look so happy and we just know the anvil is about to fall. But thanks to the infamous necklace ( our great Sherlock's have figured that out-great job guys) things will clear somewhere around episode, what, 80? Just kidding...but it's a TN. Someone haas to go brain-dead and it looks like Jero.
Oh, and Audrey-me too. Did not think Gonzo would spill the beans already. Those puppy dog eyes - melt my heart strings. If she throws over Antonio...my suspicions he may not be such a great guy might happen...he will be pithed and might prove a problem.
Good stuff!!
That detail about the chain on the necklace is surely going to be important later, but i fear that you are right Cheryl it won't clear Renata's name until the last moment (along with the names carved in the tree) and until then she's in for a bumpy ride. Oh, Renata, enjoy your night of love tonight -- cause once Fina gets her claws on Jero this may be the end of romance for a while.
Yeah! Why do they insist on messing with Honorio & Constanza? This time it looks as though Honorio is a bit smitten. Once Coni starts acting cool toward him over the Agatha/Adriana situation (and fueled by Danien perhaps?) Honorio may turn to Blanca for comfort. Dang!
En cambio. . .now Chema does has dreamy eyes with lashes women shell out moolah for but I DON'T like his designs on Connie. Even when she finds out about Adrianna and if Miss Inappropriate-do-you-want-to-tutear-me makes a move on Honor, I can't see such a wise and principled woman taking comfort in the arms of this green whippersnapper!
Finally, Cheryl, I agree: "Don’t count on him being smart about who Fina really is." Like I said a few days ago, it's going to take that big branch falling on Jero's head to learn the truth (if he doesn't get amnesia).
Khalilah
Okay,Slapping Rant over.
Love the recurring "toomah" (thanks Amy), "Spare Girl", Blanca's "more obvious administrative assets", Dr. PaidinFull, and Fina's "orgasmic glee".
Mr. Inappropriate?..hmmm. Honorio gets my vote for leering at the new hire and not even checking her references (though he SURE checked some other things).
Second place goes to Jero. A bit presumptuous to buy a slinky gown for someone that early in the game. What? He doesn't like the clothes she wears...needs his own gladrags to bed her? Not cool.
Little guy at the office who's in love with Adriana? Just felt rather sorry for him ,actually. He's got it bad for our little pink-eyelid gal and doesn't know how to proceed. He needs lessons from frisky presumptuous little Chema, I'd say.
Nice vocabulary list also Cheryl.
Your Ecuadorean prof sounds like a bit of a priss. He needs to lean back, relax and "chupar los dedos" once in a while.
It looked kind of ugly coming out of the box but I'll bet it ends up looking simply smashing on her.
As for Mr. Inappropriate for for today. I think I'd have to go with Dr. Paidinfull. What a sleaze. But Auggie's tantrums earn him a silver.
~Caborita
I'm amazed you two recognized her. I can usually tell by voices rather than visuals, but this connection eluded me completely.
I am between loving the slap and knowing I am not supposed to like violence at all. Renata is so noble it was kind of fun to see her lose it for just a moment. Then it made her girlish glee over the intimate gift of a slinky dress seem so sweet in comparison. It gives her character a bit more dimension.
What's Daniel's problem, anyway? If he's interested in Adriana, why doesn't he just ask her out instead of stalking her and getting snitty about her friendships? Would that be too easy?
Has anyone figured out Spare Girl's purpose? Does she actually work for Augie or does she just tag along?
and Renata said it! the chains are different, but not only that, the dijes are different... doubt Fina really spent a ton of dough into making Roberta's 'dije' look exactly like Renata's... so I bet Regina Sr would be able to compare her own to Renata's and Roberta's and tell which one is which... so double satisfaction, now Nata has her own dije and they can compare later on with Gina and the one that was left at the hacienda.
LOL khalilah... now you got me thinking that that branch where Roberta and Rafael's names are carved will land on Jero's head somehow... LOL!!!
