Cuando Me Enamoro #38 Monday 6/13/11 Get Me (Us) To The Church On Time, eh?
Quick Review: The big proposal, the big putdown by MeanMom who won’t come to the wedding, the old girlfriend shows up from Spain, apparently ready to give him children this time?? Que the ??? Fina pulls her poor dying me card on Gonzo, don’t tell the children, I just want to torture you in private. Lorena hears that Jero is not coming back Barcelona because he is going to marry in Mexico. No puede ser…
Jero has his nightmares, here’s Lorenzo again revealing that Rafa committed suicide, rereads the phony Dear John letter from La Bonita to Rafa, fueled by Fina that La Bonita was Renata all along. The romantic evening with the sexy dress, candles and fire works leaves me (CNM) nervous since NMex is banning all activity with the word fire in it. The weather station is giving smoke pathway forecasts for the faint of lung. But for the moment, on to the wedding!
Jero’s assistant tells Lorena that she has a copy of the wedding invitation (who had time to do these professional graphics?) but insists she is going to beat a trail to Mexico to claim her man. She can’t believe that he is in love with someone else this fast. The assistant warns her that her behavior was her choice and now is her responsibility.
Gonzo shows up for the frank talk about being (cabal) honest, upright. treating his favorite daughter with dignity. Jero ominously assures hi m he will be just the husband she deserves (merece.)
Renata says a soft good bye to her beautiful horse that she can’t take with her. Matias wants to know why not, it is so far and maybe there isn’t room for horsey. He returns that he isn’t going to be there but will be moving out soon to his own apartment.
For some totally macho and stupid idea, Gonzo says her will give the care of Renata’s financial resources for him. He tells Popinlaw-to-be that he is poor but he has enough to assure that Renata will live in the manner she is accustomed to . Jero and Carlos argue that he is hiding his true rancor from his FFIL but worries about liquidating the hacienda.
Regina and Inez talk about wanting to meet the MeanMom but Regina does not think she will go to the wedding Inez is dying to meet her and see what she is really like. Regina says Jero told her Renata is worried about the effect of her presence o n Mom.
Gonzo begs her to go to the wedding it may be the last thing they ever do as a family. Fina flinches but feigns she has always dreamed of seeing her daughters at the sacred altar but this ill fated marriage that is doomed to crash so she won’t go to the wedding since her heart is so broken. Gonzo appeals to her better nature, suggesting she show family support to her beloved daughter. He's not taking into account that she has no better nature to respond. She listens with calculation perhaps planning how to make it the most miserable of events. Looks like the demons are rushing toward the altar to see who can make the most misery: Jero, Fina, Lorena, and we don’t even know yet what loving sis Roberta has up her sleeve.
Matias brings films to Adriana and says he is going t o the wedding, right. He tells her that he saw Renata with the horse this morning and she is determined to leave with Jero. Adriana says he must be with Renate even though she doesn’t love him the way he wants to be loved. Adriana knows what love that isn’t returned hurts, says he must think of his own happiness and support .
Roberta and Fina fight over who would be at the wedding , Roberta doesn’t want to go since she hates Renata. She is also afraid she will show her pregnant stomach so what would she wear. the only wedding Fina is looking forward to is the Roberta Matias extravaganza..
Adriana and her Mom talk about getting ready for the wedding. Typically, Mom doesn't know Adriana why isn't with someone already herself. Adriana says Daniel is the only possibility and he isn't making her too interested. Then Mom asks, why isn't she going to help Renata dress for her wedding. Constanza told her it wasn’t necessary. She thinks that Consta has been cool to her every since she learned of the friendship of Honorio and Mom. Meaningful glances whip all around.
Hon and Consta fight over when he will tell Adriana that Hon is her father? He makes the stupid suggestion that they will get together with "their " daughter. Consta stomps off in tears again that she will not get used to the daughter bit. She could not have a child. She couldn’t have a daughter.
Selene talks Chema into going to the wedding, more spoiled plans. He bats his babyblues and hopes going to a wedding where Consta might be would be fun. Fool. But thanks for the eye batting anyway, nobody does it better.
As Renata dresses and applies her makeup, she asks Consta to put her necklace on. Consta observes that the chain is loose (cadena es floja). At least Consta can play the loving mom figure for Renata since no on else wants to be nice to her on her wedding day. Oh boy, it is the big R necklace that Consta fits onto her niece's lovely neck. It's her favorite and she has always had it. At least a few customs are observed, something old. (I actually don’t know if the old, new, borrowed, blue bit is strictly USA or perhaps the Mexicans have some version of this custom?)
Antonio meets the seductive red-gowned beauty, Regina and aha, she has the original big R necklace that she tells Antonio she got when Regina Jr. was one-year-old right before she disappeared so it has so much meaning for her. Hers is slightly larger but just like Renata has.
Jero is in a snit when Carlos comes. His scowl tells me he is ready to do his part of the spoiling.
Alfonsina and Dr. Dunce steal a kiss by the carving tree. She seems a lot less interested than he. She is feeling guilty that hey are both married, he doesn’t give a fig. He says desire is the beginning of love so she shouldn’t resist. So she doesn’t.
Alf’s husband that the wedding is today and tomorrow Jero and his bride will arrive. HE orders husband to tell Alf to get close to the new bride and become her confidant.
Ah everyone loves a wedding . Gonzo and Matias greet people, Fina is in the background in homely matronly black when beautiful Regina comes sparkly and as beautiful as a bride to join the party, Gonzo kisses her hand, Fina snarls and flirts ineffectively with a man her daughters’ age.
SpareGirl rides up, gets off her horse quietly and sees Alfonsina kissing Dr. Doom. She hides behind her horse, which apparently they don’t see. We all watch while Alfonsina part kisses passionately, part pushes him away as he moves in on her.
Antonio comes up to rescue Regina with Dona Cata, Inez and her family. Cata is anxious to be presented to Gonzo’s wife so he can present her daughter’s fiancé yadda yadda. They all flank Regina and are all ready to meet Fina and Mom wants to be presented . Inez is there with hijo.
Licensiado-spy is talking to Fina who is distressed. Roberta doesn’t
Spare girl asks Alfonsina that she is confusing her (saca de onda) aren't you married to Ezek and isn't the doctor married too? Alfonsina tries to deny that she and doc were kissing, but SG isn't taken in but assures her she is not jusging her and won't rat her out. You are going to ruin everything for yourself, what were you thinking? Very soon someone will see you two together and then the story will be on the lips of everyone in town. (en la boca) Wow, could SG have a sense of morals and justice? That’s going to be interesting. Alfonsina looks appropriately scared witless for the moment.
Roberta is calling someone. Fina cries she can’t believe that Regina has come to ruin this wedding and Gonzo has brought her. Roberta gets to her mom and Roberta says she want’ gong to come she can’t believe that she came. She is the mother not Regina. I don’t want to make a scandal at your sister’s wedding and I can’t be at the altar with my wedding . You need to be at the wedding with your sister so you can support me by telling me everything that happens and your father does.
SG and Alfonsina stand by the horse while Doc disappears, SG asks Alfonsina if she loves Doc. She passed some point one day and he makes her feel things. SG suggests maybe she should decide on divorcing but Alfonsina doesn't know quite how they got from innocent flirting to this step that goes too far. Ezek wouldn’t speak to her ever again. This doesn't seem to be what she wants after all.
Carlos, is introduced to the crowd that is happy to be there. Regina says if Carlos is Jero’s friend then they are all his friends. Inez says where is Jero while Antonio says, where is Renata? Jero hides behind a pillar and remembers giving the R necklace and envelope to Carlos as he decides to set aside his revenge. He doesn’t know how he is going through with this to marry his brother’s traitor.
Spain girl (Lorena) shows up and jumps in a cab ordering the cabby to drive clear to the other side of town as fast as he can so she can get to the wedding on time. With 10 minutes to go, I don’t see how all these spoilers can take place so fast and it is looking like a two or maybe three episode wedding, not pretty, not pretty.
Roberta shows up to interrupt Consta saying to Regina it's your fault that Fina left she can't be here with you here stealing her man. Consta and Gonzo join in but Roberta wins the ugliest of all contest with her ugly mouth. She calls Regina cynical. Regina thinks she should probably leave but Consta says to Regina don't go away it would only show that you feel guilty and Fina will get away with treating Renata like a cucaracha. (or does she say that Regina should not scuttle away like a cockroach. Gonzo calls Fina who doesn’t feel like coming back, she is so disgusted. When she says she is so sick she might just go right back to the doctor, Gonzo says, how dare you not be at your daughter’s wedding. She muses to her self that she doesn’t think she should risk being recognized by Regina but then she smirks that Regina has no idea that her little daughter is the one getting married.
Chema, comes up to ask why Consta is so sad. She is sad because she just learned that Adriana is Honorio's daughter. She admits it cannot be Adriana's fault but she is the daughter that she couldn’t have. Selene spoils her moment once more by another jab at youthful beauty, so Consta stomps off. Chema doesn’t seem as impressed as Selena hopes he is.
Augie is a man pouting in his field when Ezekiel shows up with a package that contains the lovely grape bunch earrings with a note from the jeweler that since he did not come to collect them and had paid the balance (liquidó), here they are being delivered to him. Ezek thinks they must be a present for SpareGirl but no, Augie says there is only one woman who is the owner (dueña) of his thoughts.
The vintage car pulls in and the crowd calls out that the bride is arriving. Gonzo brings Renata out of the car and sees the beautiful little girl he fell in love with. I remember that when you came into my life you have been my fondest wish (anhela). She is so glad he is the Poppy dearest who is there with her today. These two have the only pure love in this TN. He adds, I will be here today, tomorrow, forever, and eternally with you. If you want to return one day I will be here for you. But Renata assures him that Jero is the man that she wants to spend her entire life with. Gonzo's surprise for her is that Fina has agreed to be in the wedding. She is so happy and he knows she is. Let’s breath, they laugh.
Adriana comes and they swoon over the bridal dress. Renata sincerely thanks Roberta for coming but Roberta does ugly better than anyone else once more. She snipes that Fina isn't well so she is there only to keep the harpy Regina from her father.
And Jero comes down the stairs in a good mood for the moment and looks the part of the handsome swain he should be. They laugh together and prepare to go up the steps to be married. He notices with shock that she is wearing the R necklace, hmmm, what does this mean. I am remembering when they kissed and hesitated outside his apartment not long ago so am not surprised when Lorena arrives just in time to win the spoiler award. She locks lips with Jero pushing Renata and the veil aside. Everyone looks totally in shock except Roberta who grins her big toothy grin. At least she doesn’t have to throw another tantrum, it’s out of her hands.
Jules, I’ll have to leave it to you to get Lorena's greasy lips off Jero or maybe they'll just start that family here and now, or……
Jero has his nightmares, here’s Lorenzo again revealing that Rafa committed suicide, rereads the phony Dear John letter from La Bonita to Rafa, fueled by Fina that La Bonita was Renata all along. The romantic evening with the sexy dress, candles and fire works leaves me (CNM) nervous since NMex is banning all activity with the word fire in it.

Muchisimas gracias for such a marvelous recap, Cheryl! What a potboiler of an episode to cover. Well done!
"...who can make the most misery: Jero, Fina, Lorena, and Roberta". Dios mio, this wedding is doomed! There are so many tensions between so many people that the atmosphere is not exactly celebratory. At least everyone looks gorgeous, though. You have to love these huge galas in novelas! It gets everyone in the same place so they can air their hostilities and look good doing it.
I adored the scene between Gonzo and niña-Renata! What a lovely touch. Despite Gonzo's faults, he still is a great padre for Renata. The little moment between Renata and Constanza before the wedding was sweet too. Thankfully Nata had someone to mother her, even in a small way.
When Regina arrived at the wedding, she must have only had eyes for Gonzo because she failed to notice PepaFina immediately behind him. Fina had recognized Regi right off the bat, so I'm assuming the reverse would be true too. Close call for Fina, no?
*What* is Lorena thinking? "If I run and kiss Jero in front of the entire wedding party, he's sure to want me back!!!" Poor deluded girl. That is no way to win friends or an ex-novio.
Amy

Thanks Floresdeazul. The one fact that confuses me the most about Lorena's aggressive act is that I really don't think she wants children and even Carlos or was it Matias that repeated recently that Jero has always wanted a wife AND children. It sure wlll make everyone swarm like a beehive though. Jules ought to have great fun tomorrow night sorting out all the tangle of people and passions.
Can't wait for that 7 o'clock hour tonight (and Jules fab recap tomorrow). Cheryl you captured the imagery and intrigues beautifully!!
"He's not taking into account that she has no better nature to respond". Have to say, noone does "sour" like Fina. And as gorgeous as everyone else looked, she looked down-right dowdy. On my TV, the dress showed up as deep navy, and I think the costume department did a great job making her look "dark" and Regina a knockout. After all, she is the mother of the bride.
I agree on the sweetness of the Gonzo/Nata scene. A real tissue moment...
As soon as I saw Nata put on the R necklace I got excited. But now how do we tie that to Gina so quickly. Or is that "chain" issue that Coni pointed out going to cause Nata's necklace to get lost. Just gave Jeers long enough to see it - which was cool though. Think man think...
Air slap from me last night - as crappy as Roberta was, I really wanted to haul off and give it to Selene. What a mouth...great way to impress a guy.
What does Alfi see in the doc? Blech - had to turn that one off.
I guess I have to say, I felt the sorriest for the horse last night. Heck, she's moving to a hacienda. Whyn can't she take the horse? Jeers will win a few points by me if he makes that happen.

Great episode and fantastic recap.
I can't wait for tonight to see ssth results of Lorea's big kiss -- loved her line; You can't marry her eres mio.
Ditto on the tenderest scene of the night. That moment with Gonzo on the steps seeing Renata as a little girl brought a tear to my eye.
Hate Robeta's attitude -- but the actress was wonderful with that happy smile when she saw Renata's wedding go crash & her galan in the liplock.

Thanks Cheryl, very satisfying.
I don't see why Renata can't take her mare with her to the hacienda. It looks like she'd fit right in and come in handy. Another strike against Jerry for not arranging this.
I thought that the scene with Renata and Gonzo on the Church steps was sweet and touching, but also earns a vote from me for Gonzo as Mr. Inappropriate. Yes to telling your daughter that "...the door is always open...", no to adding, "...if things don't work out." Not on her wedding day.
I know that I shouldn't be enjoying it, but I'm really getting a kick out of this wedding. Like Güera, I loved Roberta's smile.
Not liking Alfonsina and the quack. That whole thing just doesn't ring true.

I don't know how it is in Mexico, but in NYC wearing black to a wedding is no big deal if it's formal and you're a guest. However, I think it has to be a special faux pas for a mother of- to do so.
Jero should allow Renata to bring her beautiful horse. We all know that there is a special bond between horse and owner.

Very enjoyable recap, very smooth.
It was a downer to me that the writers had already teased us that Lorena would show at the boda...not much impact there. If the writers purpose was to ruin everything, I think they did a good job by constantly cutting away to the goings on around La Bonita. (Why do the men in these novelas always never push away the female. They just let the spoiler just mack away.) Question is did Fina or Roberta have anything to do with this.
A point was made to show the R necklace. Am I correct, that is really Nata's necklace and the one at La Bonita belongs to Roberta?
Fina is just a nasty piece of work along with her mini me daughter.

I don't think Fina is in black. I think it's a midnight blue. but yes years a go it was a big faux pas to wear black or red at a wedding. Not so these days.
That was a very interesting scene between Spare Girl and Alfosina. I'm not sure where it will all lead. I agree that the attraction between Alfosina & Dr.Flask-at-the-ready is not only unsavory but doesn't ring true. What could she possibly see in him?? But then what did his wife see in him?

Well, I saw the dress as black when she was in the sunshine in front of the steps and then it looked really blue when she was under the trees trying to get everyone's sympathy on the cell phone. Still very dowdy wedding wear when compared to the real Mom Regina who looks so smashing in her red hot Mama number.
Carlos, I too was a bit worried about Gonzo telling Renata she could come back if it didn't work out. Especially since she would be coming back to the hellhole or the bachelor pad that he and Matias will perhaps have by then. I don't think he was thinking clearly on the real future but just felt like being protective.
It is a rather delicious plot device that just as Jero is discovering the R necklace, they all get their attention diverted possibly forever by the Lorena's appearance.

great recap, cheryl!.
it is very smart the word choices for Jero telling Gonzo and Matias and everyone else that 'Renata will get what she deserves' (in his heart he loves her but in his mind (dark side) he thinks she deserves a living hell) so everyone else thinks she is about to get the princess treatment when it is totally the opposite.

A in B, I remember a scene not long ago when Renata demanded her necklace back from Roberta who had it on for some reason, saying hers had a distinctive chain from the one Roberta owned. I don't remember seeing Roberta go in and take Renata's when hers went missing, when it was dropped at Rafa's in the murder scene. It will be useful as a plot detail since the chain is distinctive but now we know it is a bit loose so that may play into the dawning which we all hope comes to Jero's cloudy head sooner rather than later. I could be a long wait though.
To answer why alfonsina is so attracted to Dr. Mephesto, it's because he's a doctor and all the status that goes with it.

I agree, they have made a very intense focus on the fact that the chains (and the pendants, for that matter) are similar but identifiably different between Renata's and Roberta's.
Roberta borrowed Renata's for Matias welcome party. I remember that. That is why Roberta was wearing Renata's at the party and Renata was wearing some other pendant.
But when Renata yelled at Rob to give it back to her and physically yanked it out of her neck, she again stressed that they are similar but different.
Hopefully Renata's pendant and chain are a smaller version but identical to Gina's and thus very easy to identify for Gina when comparing to her own. She told Ines before they head out to Renata's wedding that hers and little Gina's were identical, only little Gina's was smaller than hers.

Greetings Cheryl. Maybe Fina's dress looked black because of all the smoke in the air. I know authorities are concerned the fire might move into New Mexico. Your "faint of lung" quip was funny but I know the situation isn't. Hope you and your sweet Willa are still breathing alright.
Liked your "no better nature to respond to". I kept wondering why Gonzo insisted on Fina's presence. She has always been so ugly to Renata, but the latter DID seem pleased that "mom" showed up. A sad commentary on how children always long for love from even the most abusive parent.
Did Gonzo say he was giving over care of Renata's fortune to Jero?..or that Papi was going to keep on overseeing it himself? I thought he said the latter, but I didn't tape it so can't say for sure. I thought it was part of his overall warning that he wasn't sure about Jero's character so he intended to keep on protecting his little girl as best he could.
Got all excited about Renata wearing the pendant but am sure the writers will figure out some way to mess up this important clue to her innocence and her connection to Regina. Dang! I hate waiting for good things to happen.
Will the wedding finally come off? The writers will sure have us watching this week.
And Daisynjay...is Cleveland still celebrating the Maverick's big win? LeBron rancor aside, it was nice to see old school basketball, "pass it to a teammate" win over superstar grandstanding for a change.

Judy, there were LOTS of Mavericks blue being worn in Cleveland along with some major celebrating.
I guess when the pressure is really on, he "parks it" as one sport commentator said no matter where he plays.
And since my neice and goddaughter lives in Dallas and is a crazy sport fan - it made it all the sweeter.

Great recap, Cheryl. Thanks!
I thought that Renata told Matias that she wanted to take the mare, but it's a long trip and she wasn't sure what accommodations the hacienda has so she was planning to go see and bring her later. Of course Jero knows all about the hacienda and could tell her and probably arrange for transport, but since he's just playing twisted games with Renata he probably doesn't care too much about making her happy by bringing her horsy.
Why on earth would Jero let that forced liplock go on so long? How many hours until 7 pm? I'm dying to find out what happens.

CNM--Gotta keep on reading, thanks lady, but, I stopped at the part in the recap where Gonzo and Jero are discussing finances.
Judy--I'm sure I heard Jero say that...of course we are going to have la seperacion de bienes--in other words, finances are separate. Very important in divorces (a la Sortilegio). It's Gonzo that advises Jero that he will continue to handle Renata's finances and Jero is very OK with that.
Now back to reading the fully charged recap, a more careful perusal of the comments and will check back in later.

yes, Gonzo asked Jero if he was ok with Gonzo continuing to manage Renata's money/patrimony, and Jero was very OK with it, he admitted he was going through financial down times but he assured Gonzo that he knew how to get out of it and that he could maintain Renata with the lifestyle she was used to. He also added that he would give Renata the life she DESERVED (ARGGHHH!!!!)
CNM--I hope you aren't too close to that humongus fire moving across from Az. I hear the smoke is blowing up across the midwest now.
Ok, one more thing. When Jero comes running down the steps of the church to greet his arriving bride, Nata already knows that mamma has done the disappearing act because Regina is there. She's actually a little put out at Jero and they start a mini-argument on the way up the steps, which she stops so as not to ruin their wedding day.
I didn't get the sense that he saw her necklace yet--she's wearing a veil. Correct me if I'm wrong, folks. Ok, back to reading the comments--just loved this episode--Roberta does smirk as well as she does ugly.

Poor Jero--He's racking up so many points as Mr. I. He gets my vote again for last night. He was SUPPOSED to have shared all his past with Nata earlier--an old girlfriend should have been at the top of the list--and it would have given Nata another opening to divulge any prior boyfriends. How many times will it take for Jero to believe Nata when she claims only Matias was a sometime boyfriend. Of course, he could always ask Adriana, instead of believing the muck Fina is tossing.
NOK--again

Why wouldn't Renata manage her own money? If it's a trust fund from Gonzo, I can see why he's managed it before, but she's now almost 25, responsible, educated, and an experienced business person. Why would Jero even come into the equation at all? Was Gonzo just making a point to Jero that he doesn't really trust him? Maybe he wants to retain control of Renata's funds because he's afraid Jero will try to take them, and Renata will go along with it because she's in love and not thinking clearly?
Alphosina makes no sense at all even if she had a past as 'every fieldhands kind of woman'. But that does not seem to be what the writers are saying. The character does not ring true.
Also lacking consistency is Gonzo. Here was the wise advisor to his son about releasing a woman who was not meant to be yours, TELLING a engaged woman to break your pledge to another man and I will get a divorce and marry you. But of course he keeps waving his flag of honor because he was planning to divorce before he met her. WHAT ABOUT REGINA's honor!
Ah-but, Regina's prometido is such a good man doing every possible thing to show love to her. I can tell by the music that he will not get her but he is the great guy.

I love that name "Spare Girl"! Speaking of property, didn't Aug tell her the reason he picked up with her again was because once he got a woman she always belonged to him.?
Aug the wrath is number 2 on my list of Mr. I. And if Tio does not start bringing 'sorry' flowers from the doghouse for Con he will be number 3. Takes time Jerk, her clock not yours.
Doc 'only a mother could love', is not worth my consideration. He could go on my list of dead man walking though.

What an unbelievably ugly thing to do at a wedding. Is this the kind of women Jer has been spending time with?! He has narry a foot to stand on and judge Rennie!
Por Favor! Would it not be poetic justice if Fina's personality tumor actually spread to her brain.

On Gonzo continuing to oversee Renata's money, remember that things are different in Mexico. The father is head of the family and makes all the decisions. So in spite of Renata working and being clearly quite intelligent, I imagine it's perfectly acceptable to have Dad continue to manage her portfolio.
I hope this has changed but when I was in Switzerland in the 60's, when women married all their money went to their husbands.( Swiss women didn't have the vote there either..and didn't get it for several more decades) They had NO control over their money once married. And in a divorce, without "community property" laws, they could come away quite damaged. Not surprisingly, there was very little divorce. For many, marital misery was preferable to financial ruin.
I'm not sure why the financial aspect was brought up in Cuando but I'm sure it plays into the plot later on. Certainly hope Gonzo is not facing financial ruin at some point, but we know there will be tragedies a'plenty before this is over.
And clearly Gonzo is Mr. Inappropriate for suggesting Regina dump her fiancé just because he gets a buzz every time he sees her. But Antonio has a shiftiness to him that makes me think we'll all be rooting for the Gonzo-Regina mating in the end.
WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO KISS DR. BOOZE EVER? REGARDLESS OF HIS MD DEGREE!!!??

Thanks for the clarity on the finances, yes I agree on relistening to the conversation that it is Gonzo that will keep reins on Renata's finance. Renata wants to keep reins on her horsey but thinks she will have to make sure there is room for her at the hacienda (so preposterous) then she would like to bring her. Matias will help until he moves out but maybe he can bring horsey across to Baja later so he can see what Jero is up to with his beloved Renata.
Yes Jero wins several jerk awards for not telling about this pushy ex, for starters.

Thanks so much Cheryl! This wedding is not off to a good start. I'm surprised that they are actually having a church wedding. As we know this marriage is doomed, I thought they would just give us a civil ceremony now and then at the happy Fin give us the church wedding. But who the heck knows that will happen with this one.
In addition to all his other faults, Jero also suffers from galanbesoparalysis (the inability of a galan to push a small woman away who is kissing him, before 30 seconds are up). Jeez!
Renata looks beautiful and I loved the scene of Gonzo seeing her as a little girl. Regina looks fabulous and put Fina to shame. I liked Roberta's 60s/70s inspired dress. I know some won't like it, but I loved the colors.
I understand Coni being thrown off by the whole Adriana thing, but I am disappointed in her for acting cold towards Adri and for discouraging her from joining Nata in her wedding prep.
Jero caught sight of the necklace just before galanbesoparalysis set in, so I'm not sure when he'll finally get the chance to ask about it. And Gina's 'R' is covered by the saints medals she wears, so hers won't be as noticable to Renata or others.
I like spare girl. Her being with Augie is just as baffling as Alfonsina being with Dr. Do-Less-Than-Little to me. They both need to do some soul searching about their choices in men.

In looking back at my recap, there are some errors and cut off sentences. I did have a moment of editing when the computer screen froze and I had to do a restart. Obviously some of my fixes didn't survive the freeze. oops, Thanks for all th corrections people are supplying.
Did I imagine that Jero said something about the R necklace then? I think he did. And yes, they started to argue about Regina being there then he tried kissing her through the veil. So much going on. I can't wait until tonight for the completion or complete chaos of the ceremony. Good gripping story line though, no doldrums here yet.

Vivi! Galanbesoparalysis - ROTFLOL
At the start of tonight's (#39) showing I told my husband - hold on! You just gotta see this excellent demonstration of galanbesoparalysis LOL!

I too have been thinking that it would be poetic justice for Fina to REALLY be ill with some terminal disease ( just like it turned out that Roberta was REALLY suffering from heart defects like Roberto and Gina Jr)... and not even Roberta will want to be with her...
I wonder if either Gonzo or Connie will be the link or the ones that make the connection if Fina indeed sends Regina photos of when Gina Jr/Renata was a kid, that is how Gonzo and Connie got to know her, so if Fina makes the mistake of sending the picture over and then either Connie or Gonzo see the picture, they could tell it is Renata/Gina Jr and all heck would break loose... Fina surely has lost a few brain cells if she knows that Gonzo and Connie are friends with Regina and she still sends the photo over.
Cheryl, not sure you'll see this but I am playing catch-up on the episodes and recaps. This was a great episode and an absolutely superb recap. The scene where Gonzo saw Renata as a little girl was very sweet. Nice touch. Now let the anguish begin, or should I say continue. Gracias Amiga!
