Triunfo del Amor #147 6/14/11Burnie Goes Behind Bars and Maria Learns That Dear Old Lovable Grandma Is a Killer
Viewerville’s emotional engine is running on all 4 cylinders as Victoria continues to eavesdrop on Fernanda and Maria, and Maria tearfully recognizes the rag doll her mother gave her as a birthday present all those years ago. Grannie Bernarda, on the other hand, is still surrounded by flames (courtesy of Eva) and screaming in panic.
Padre Juan Pablo, who has been blocked from entering his mama’s burning abode by the seemingly forever bungling, bumbling bomberos [firemen -- as opposed to keystone cops], gets fed up and impatiently races into Mama’s manse to save her from the flames if he can.
Burnie eventually regains her sense of self-preservation--if not her senses in general--and wraps a blanket around herself in order to make her escape. Unfortunately, she trips on the rug and knocks herself out when she hits her noggin on a chair. She falls to the floor.
Meanwhile, it’s back to the barrio. Fer and Maria continue their heart-to-heart while Vicki listens secretly behind the shuttered doorway. Fer tearfully tells Maria how Mama gave her the doll when she finally told her about her missing daughter; and that Mama’d held back admitting she even existed because she was frightened of the family’s rejection. She truly suffered over her missing daughter for years. Maria says now that’s hard to believe considering the arrogant, selfish and high-handed way Vic treats everything and everyone. Maybe Fer never had to go through that kind of abuse?
While Vic continues to listen and sob, Fer admits to feeling abandoned and emotionally abused while Mama hid behind her work all the years she was growing up. Vicki turns away to leave once Maria pledges to protect her kid sis no matter how she feels about Victoria Sandovaaaal. Max runs into Vic outside the building and asks who she was there to see. “--Fer of course.” Please don’t let Fer or Maria know that she over-heard their conversation, she begs.
PJP finds Mama out cold still on the floor and carries her back outside-- certainly much to Eva’s chagrin.
Max assures Vic that when she least expects it, Maria will forgive her. The call of the blood is too strong. One day she will hear Maria call her “Mama!”
Padre Juan Pablo prays for his mama’s life while the paramedics take care of her.
At dinner, Heriberto admits to Lushous Leonela that he saw her t.v. interview the night before and was very impressed with her courage in confronting her ghosts of the past and asking for forgiveness so publicly. She says it is part of the AA’s 12-step program to ask forgiveness. He tells her he is very familiar with the program. The man who killed his children asked his forgiveness the same way. He admits to having wanted to kill the man at first, but then, being a doctor who is committed to saving lives, he realized he had to forgive him. Leonela asks about his medical specialty. Heri says he treats pain, emotional and physical, and it’s plain as day that she’s in emotional pain. Her eyes give her away. Chalk it up to life experiences and personality quirks [vivencias] she says. --Nope! She’s a strong woman who’s reconstructing her life and lifestyle. In short, he admires the way she’s turned her life around. (I say malarkey and enough with the shallow philosophizing! Get on with the show!) She tells Heri that no man has ever touched the depths of her soul before the way he did this evening. (Hon, he does it for a living. Don’t get too carried away.)
Vic tells Max that even if Maria continues to reject her, it’s enough to know the relationship between her two daughters is a loving one.
Guillermo has apparently followed Leo and Heri to the restaurant and has been jealously spying on them from a table at the other end of the room. He watches as Heri tells Lushous that life rarely gives a person a second chance and to take full advantage of it. He sees the look on her face as she puts her hand affectionately over Heri’s. Gui’s eyes are flashing “Redrum!” “Redrum!” … “Kill!” “Kill!”
Burnie regains consciousness. The paramedics release her to JP who wants to take her to a hotel for the night. However, the authorities arrive with a warrant for her arrest as the principal suspect in the death of Tomasa Hernandez. Chente perks his ears up at that! “Mi madrina?” [godmother=…er…not the fairy kind] Burnie immediately complains to her son, now believing that he’s the one who gave her up to the coppers. “--You made good on your threats to me!” JP swears that it wasn’t him, but she won’t believe him. She curses him as the police drag her off.
At the police station, the judge puts Burnie into protective imprisonment [condena preventiva] in some area prison, based on the evidence given, for the next 72 hours. (At least I think that’s it. It seems condena preventiva is a kind of sentencing option I’m not familiar with up here.) She tells him he can’t do that! She’s Bernarda de Iturbide, don’t you know! He warns her not to put up a fight. Ok…She strolls over to Her Good For Nothing Son The Priest, and then pointedly refuses the rosary JP has remembered to bring along for her. She screams back over her shoulder that she never wants to see him again!!
Back at Maria’s, she show Max the flowers from Alonso and the engagement ring that Jimena “helped” Lonnie pick out. Maria tells Max she takes it as a sign that they may not be doing right by him by hiding the truth from Lon. Papa Padre JP has told her that instead of doing him a favor, they could really be doing him an injustice.
Vic visits with Fer a bit after and tells her that she heard the conversation between Fer and Maria and that she is sorry for all the hurt she’d caused her. The subject changes to why Fer is so anxious to have this second operation. Fer admits that it’s not to walk, but to be able to have kids.
Leo returns home and starts to enter when Guillermo rushes in behind her and throws her down on the couch. (Ok. Now that’s what I call a stalker—IMNSHO. Jes’ sayin’.) He starts raving about the way she dumped him so publicly for somebody else. “--Just what kind of game are you playing with me, eh?” She came back to be with him! And they had a relationship! But now she’s pulling the same thing she did the last time!
Leo tries to reason with Gui, telling him he’ll just have to get used to the fact that their relationship won’t work. He refuses to, obviously, and says he’s giving her one day to change her mind. One day! Otherwise he’ll call the police and accuse her of attempting to kill Osvaldo. She counters with her own threat to accuse him of murdering Ophelia. He starts in on her again. “--Again with playing dangerous games! Well, we’ll see who wins this time! Either you come back to me or you’re going back to spend the rest of your life in jail!
Burnie finds out what it’s like to be guest of the state penal system in Mexico. She threatens the guards and finds out that there the guards threaten back!
Padre JP admits to Padre Jeronimo that he was afraid this day would come for his mother eventually. Padre Jerry suggests that sooner or later she’d have had to pay her debt to man or to Dios. Hopefully, if she pays her debt to society, she’ll repent and the one to Dios will also be paid and she’ll find salvation. JP says he knows Mama too well, and there’s no way she’ll ever accept her mistakes.
Gui has been busy. He’s also tracked down Jimeana to a bar and gets rid of the goofy guy she’s picked up. He sits down instead. “--How ya doin’ crazy girlie?”
Vic pays Heri a late evening visit to ask why he’s going to operate on Fer. Has she pushed him into it or what? Isn’t Fer getting ahead of herself here? No, he says. She’s finished the necessary therapy sessions and she’s earned the right to have another operation. Fer isn’t getting ahead of herself on this, not at all. Vic wants to know what real chance she has of ever walking again. Heri says all things considered, this time there is much greater chance of success! And what about getting pregnant? See a gynecologist, he wouldn’t want to talk out of turn, and, above all, be patient.
Well, Jimeana was looking for a good time tonight. It might as well be with Gui. As for Gui, he needs a release valve and Ji is generally game. She ends up at his place again, supposedly because he had something important to discuss with her. “--Uh, yeah…I’m still digging on you!” He goes for the gusto, but Jimena rejects him. It’s been over for a good long while, she says. --No says Gui! They’ll be each other’s forever! --No! He killed whatever she felt for him, says Ji. Now he’s got Leonela to paw. How wonderful the two of them helped her get over him! Anyway, why should she believe him? He promised her so much and never came through.
Gui admits he failed her and blames it on her crazy jealousies. Ji says well she’s not jealous at all now. This is encouraging, he feels. He wants to show her that Leo means nothing to him now! She says too bad that it’s only because Leo left him for Ozzie. However, she charitably determines that she’ll give him his last chance to prove himself and the two go at it like a couple of mindless minks.
Back in Dr. Heri’s living room, Heri wants to know what else is bothering Vic. Well, she found her long lost daughter, but the girl rejected her. Bummer! Who is it? What’s her name? Anybody he knows? He of the lilting, lust-enducing voice is speechless-impactado to hear it’s Maria Desamparada.
Speaking of whom, Maria gets a late evening visit from Chente and Napo who tell her about the fire at Grandma’s house. Yep, although her grannie made it out okay, the authorities came by and dragged her off to jail!
Across town at the prison, Burnie objects to being mixed in with the low lives in the cell, but the guard tells her that’s where all murderers are put. Burnie denies murdering anybody. “--That’s what everybody says.” Well, Burnie’s NOT everybody else, she bloviates. --No, says the guard, you’re worse! Now get in there! Roll. Clank!
Once Burnie enters the cell, her cellmates learn fast what it’s like trying to pull rank on Bernarda de Iturbide. After a few well-placed thwaps upside the head, and a well-placed foot on the biggest trouble making big-mouth’s neck, the b!tches in their learn how to heel. “--Even in this pocilga [pigsty] social class counts!”
We then get more Dr. Phil philosophizing from Handsome Dr. Heri. It’s something about Vicki now convincing Maria to look to the future with her rather than continuing to look to the painful past and staying stuck there. FF>>
Maria heads over to Papa Padre’s and finds out from him that her grannie has been accused of killing a woman named Tomasa who used to work in their home, and who was like a second mother to him. Maria says she knows Grams is a bit eccentric (uh, yeah) and demanding, but a killer? Naw! When PPJP refuses to comment, it hits her that the old gal just very well may be!

Thanks for opening the discussion, Jardinera. I look forward to your recap, as they are always a fun read.
I want to know which hairspray Burn-arda uses! She survives a near fatal fire, rescue, oxygen tubes, yet not a single hair out of place.
The women's prison guard lady with the baseball hat looked like she was channeling Eileen Brennan's Capt Doreen Lewis from "Private Benjamin", right down to mannerisms and everything.
Personally, I would love to see the jailbirds take out Burnarda.
I hope Dr. Voice and Leonela are a couple by the end of this 'novela.

I only watched/listened with one eye and one ear. All I can say is do NOT mess with Burnie!
Even half paying attention I can't think of anything really new that happened in the plot. Let me think...
*Some talk about Fer's surgery/having kids
*Maria won't forgive Vic
*Maria is a little iffy about Operation Alonso
*Maria can't believe her granny is a murderer.
*Xi and Gui did the slimy dance of lust.
Doris, LMAO about hairspray.

Shouldn't we be seeing Ultimas Semanas by now? Because this is supposed to be ending soon right?

The way they introduced that prison guard lady almost made it feel like it was a cameo done by someone we all should know or something? Is she some well known actriz in mexico?
Doris--You beat me to it. I was going to comment on Burnie with nary a hair out of place, and a freshly made up face compared to her son who looks as though he's been through a nasty experience.
What? No oxygen mask after suffering smoke inhalation? Just those little thinggies in the nose? Oh, I forgot, she has a few significant lines to deliver and it would be hard to do it through the mask.
Off to class. Be back later.

PJP came out of the fire with soot on his face, Bernarda, nary a bit.
They don't even ck her out at the hospital before carting her off to la carcel.
The companeros de la carcel better not mess with Bernarda. Got to admire her guts, she's an asesina, what did they do, a little prostitution maybe?
I'm working on a borrowed computer, so sorry, no accents.
When Maria's place burned they didn't give oxygen either. Good grief, the bomberos even have the masks for animals.
The only slaps I remember are the real smack downs Bernarda delivered.
Maria only had a few Desamparadas last night. Fernanda called her Maria. I agree about Livia Brito, great future for her. She cries very believably.

Burn-arda isn't finished yet and... her hairspray should have exploded.
I am surprised she survived the fire unscathed but I'm sure the jailbirds will turn on her when they hear she dissed her son, the priest. Who saved her life.
If Maria's brain cells ever kick in he will be very shocked at what her parents could tell her about her Grannie Dearest. But she also needs to hear that she kidnapped baby JP and only Alonso knows that.

So, anyone know the music of Bernarda in her bedroom on fire? Was it from Mozart's Requiem? Just curious.

Bernarda's crimes so far (if I've forgotten any, please add):
-- First-degree murder by way of arson (Gonzalo and Rosalia)
-- Attempted murder of Fausto (this may not be his real name)
-- Second-degree murder of Octavio
-- Attempted murder of Victoria and Maria (19 years ago)
-- Second-degree murder or Criminally Negligent Homicide (Tomasa)
-- Illegal disposal of a dead body (Tomasa)*
-- Attempted murder of Maria and unborn child (arson)*
-- Second-degree murder of the Mother Superior
-- Murder for hire (Attempted murder of Fernanda, murder of Federico)*
-- Attempted murder of Max and baby Osvaldo*
-- Kidnapping of baby JP*
-- Murder for hire (of Padre Jeronimo, resulting in stabbing of JP)*
-- Murder of el Alacran (I'd give her a pass on this one)
She'll definitely burn in hell for this list.
*Accomplices involved.
At this point I am wondering whether JP knows this whole list. If the jailbirds knew it, they'd finish her off.

Urban include murder for hire for Max with Padilla after recovering little JP she sent Padilla to kill Max to get back at them for discovering where little JP was.
I would say dear old murdering granny should be locked up for the rest of her life but the sticker is like she keeps saying there is no proof.

LOL LOL LOL @ Burnie being rescued from the fire, only to be arrested for the death of Tomasa.
LOL LOL LOL @ Burnie being "The Baddest B!tc#" from the first moment she stepped into the jail.
Sad for Padre JP, though. She automatically assumed he called the po-po on her.
I fear for Leonela.
Where is baby Osvaldo?

LOL about Bernie being hair perfect and soot free. I guess the devil looks after his own. Those firemen looked more like the Keystone Kops then professional fire fighters and those are hardly the kind of masks they would be wearing. Oh right Novelaland.
Obviously Bernie is trying out for Alpha Bitch of the Cell Block. I guess she developed those thunderous slaps of herS by practicing on the help and her son. I also laughed at how perfectly tailored her prison uniform was.
Looks like Cantu is bringing the crazy with Gui. Anyone remember how looney he turned out in La Madrasta? He was one of the gang of Orange. I am assuming he followed The Voice and Leo to the restaurant where he sat glaring in the background but how in the heck did he pick the place where crazy Xi was. With all the places in the DF he just zaps on the the right one. At least we were spared another bath scene.
I was actually surprised when The Voice told Vic they would have to talk to a gyno since he seems to always have every medical specialty going. And I thought I remember him giving Fer advice on the subject a week or so ago.
Totally agree about Livia. She has a bright future and I wouldn't be surprised to see her move into Maite's parts since she has apparently said she is not going to make any more novelas.
From the previews tonight it looks like it could be titled Padre JP and his two harpies. Perhaps, for once, the three of them can sit down and have a conversation with the truth in it instead of hate and recrimination on one side and pious bull pucky on the other.

Okiedokie. It's up. Sorry, but I forgot I was doing Tues. this week, too. Dani, you and I must have been tracking. You're dead on -- I was thinking much of the same thing it seems.
=========================
Doris: "channeling Eileen Brennan's Capt Doreen Lewis from "Private Benjamin", right down to mannerisms and everything." Darn tootin! I couldn't remember who the gal reminded me of! LOL!

Blusa: I keep wondering where the "últimas semanas" promo is, myself. We've only got until episodio #165 I believe. That's the fin.
Thanks, Blu. Let's see how much of this can be proven with eyewitness testimony or forensics:
-- Fer's car can be examined (if it wasn't) for evidence of tampering
-- Alonso can testify to the kidnapping (if he lives long enough) although they'd probably have to find the woman
-- Fausto can testify about Tomasa's body (the jury would have to make the leap of faith -- so to speak -- that Bernarda killed her)
Finally, a clever prosecutor (like CE was the defense counsel in ENDA) could trick Bernarda into a blasphemous confession on the witness stand. The general public now knows she is an excommunicant and this would answer the why-question.

Jardinera - Great recap! Thank you.
"Redrum" LOL THAT movie creeped me out.
I never noticed, before last night, how ginormous that crucifix is over Bernie's bed. Sheesh…. that's bigger than some in Catholic churches.
…"mindless minks", indeed.! That's exactly what I was thinking, too.
UA - Bernie is sort of guilty of Padilla's son's death because she hired them to kill Fer, IIRC. They were supposed to kill someone, but I think scussy tatto rat boy was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or the thugs sabotaged the wrong car. Still..... it all started with Bernarda. That blood is on her hands.

Come to think of it but Bernie i think is responsible for the other fire of the other building apartments earlier on in the novela remember how she was talking to Padilla about doing the job right.
I have to ask does this mean that PJP loves his dear murdering old mama more than he loves his hija? Remember when Bernie had her bumbling arsonists set Maria's place on fire all PJP did was stand on the sidewalk and pray after the head firefighter said he couldn't go in. Hoping and praying for a miracle to save his hija.
But for Bernie he rushes into the burning house to save his mama makes you think hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Doesn't it?

question about the doll, In Victoria's memory she gave the doll to little maria as a baby in a box but maria remembers it being given to her on her 3rd birthday what gives. Did Vic repackage the doll?

I watched the last two episodes at Dailymotion. Whatever network those shows were recorded from, they're showing "ultimas semanas" before the commerical breaks.
both babies are totally MIA!
both babies are totally MIA!
Ebony, isn't that what everyone does? Wrap up the toys the kids have forgotten about, and give them to them again for the next birthday?
Julia, you might be right but It seems that maria only had two toys a bady rattle and the doll. Even at the age of 3 I would think she would remember it.

I was kidding, but it seems like Victoria had very little back then. Maybe she fixed it up a bit, and that was the best she could do. Or, more likely, this show just can't be bothered with continuity.
UA- ignore my post re Bernie/ Fer/Padillas son. I missed it first time I read your list.

Maite did say after Cuidado ended that she would never work again with William Levy on another novela. So i'm just going to say she might be saying this after experiencing Meh-jia and this basura novela. Come to think of it i'm surprised a lot more actors haven't said the same thing after working on this novela. I guess the veterans like Ruffo,Rios and Evora are not surprised by what Meh-jia has done with this novela.

Swell job, Jardinera! Thanks so much.
"blocked from entering his mama’s burning abode by the seemingly forever bungling, bumbling bomberos [firemen -- as opposed to keystone cops]"
Indeed. For all its lip service to the bravery of firefighters, this novela keeps portraying these guys as clowns who stand back, protective gear in place, while a civilian -- here, a priest in a cheap polyester suit -- braves the flames to make the heroic rescue. (Twice before it was Max who stole their thunder, once to rescue Nati from the bridge and once to rescue María from the vecindad.) The only time a bombero got to be the hero was when Cruz rescued Fer at the car crash site -- apparently only stars can rescue stars.

"(I say malarkey and enough with the shallow philosophizing! Get on with the show!)"
Yes indeed.
Bernarda does not disappoint. I hope tonight we see all those pecadoras in the jail with her on their knees praying for forgiveness beneath that stern crazy gaze. Now if the guard will just bring her a dainty crystal glass of fine sherry...

most important of all, NO traffic & everyone lives close to each other, the rich & the poor. You can be anywhere in a Mejia momento.
The veteran actors don't seem to have a problem acting in a piece of crap. Diana Bracho & Guillermo Garcia Cantu in FELS. I have no doubt Romo will win for this one.
OK, Pequena Maria remembers the doll, why not Mama, she looks the same.
