Cuando Me Enamoro #76 Wednesday 8/3/11 Humpty Dumpty had a great fall and goes WHAH WHAH WHAH, in Ensenada the town former 'hero' has a great fall as well...
...and Anti-Hero shows signs of recovery
[Recap by Marta]
Alfo/Kari and the waterworks at full flow:
Kari: We were friends...
Alfo: I thought Alvaro would give me the queen lifestyle I wanted and that I did not have with Ezeq... (boy woman, you don't need anything short of a real beating and shooting you to a small island with no food or comforts)... No I realize Ezeq had me in a palace full of love, all golden.
Kari: Did you really think I lived in a palace? (Alfo nods yes) .. Things are not as they seem, Alfo... I would have been HAPPY to switch lives with you... you changed the love of a husband who respects you, loves you and cares for you... for a man like Alvaro who only cares about himself... And not only that, but you betrayed our friendship, and it hurts bad.
Alfo keeps apologizing but Kari is too hurt to listen... Lazaro was listening from across the room, though...
Laz: Kari, maybe what Alfo did was to take the blindfold off your eyes...
Kari: Yes, but she betrayed a friend... and it hurts real bad. ( good for you Kari... the least they can give you is some time to digest all that)
Kari and Laz leave a very upset Alfo..
Rob and Matt are walking together, seems around the garden of MR manor. Matt says you should do that DNA test since the dates are near each other and that baby could be mine too... Rob is upset (with her best buzzer voice... boy that woman has a really annoying voice.) Rob says a woman knows when she gets pregnant... And even though Nata told Jero I would do the DNA test, I won't do it! Matt asks, and what if I ask you? Jero seemed very sure he is not your baby daddy, and so I also want to make sure that baby is not mine.
Adri and Nata:
Adri: Sorry i don't mean to be on Jero's side but I could not deny helping him. Even if you get divorced, learning the truth will help you out in the long run. He swore to me that he never slept with Berta. Something in me believes him.
Nata: Yeah I am also blown away at his certainty of not being the daddy. But so what? It's not just Rob's baby, but he lied to me! he broke my heart! He took revenge on me for something I did not do!
Adri: I know how you feel, I am not defending him but I put myself in his shoes... I would probably do the same as him.
Nata: Oh that's great that you are not on his side! (what would you say if you were??)
Adri: Just think about it for a second... Put yourself in his shoes!! What if the one relative you had left that loved you in this world killed themselves for the betrayal of someone? What would have you done? Would you sit there with your arms crossed or would you have gone out to find out the truth, no matter who fell?
Nata: I don't know!
Adri: I bet you would have done same as him! I know you! You would never have let an injustice go unnoticed.The problem is that Jero got bad leads. He went after Rob, then you came and he got confused!
Nata: Well, how easy... so he says 'well, I was confused, I was wrong, forgive me!.. that easy, no? ITs not so easy, Adri!
Adri: Yeah but you lied to him too about your name! You told him you had a boyfriend right at the place Rafa agreed to meet you at! So the confusion makes sense.
Nata: You are trying to make me feel bad for Jero. But no. He fixed his issue, I have not!
Adri: NO, you are wrong! He has not either. He has been trying to prove it was Rob, but has not been able to even with the necklace, the letter and the heart. And on top of that he fell in love with you like a stupid and now he does not have you.
Fina is talking to herself cursing Connie, she is very upset about Connie trying to talk to Gonzo and Nata in favor of Jero.
Fina's cell rings, the Licenciado calls her to let her know Gina has arrived back in Mex... He tells her about seeing her and Antonio at the airport... She gets even more upset that with Gina nearby, her nightmare is back on! ... he reminds her of their soon to come eloping... she gives him the typical ' (don't call me, ) i will call you'
Cantu is meeting with Gustavo the old governor boyfriend of Pepa's... Cantu is quick to bring Pepa's situation with Gonzo and asks what he knows about her... Gustav says Pepa and him did not break up exactly in good terms, and that she always liked the good life, living like a queen, and to belong to high society. Cantu asks him why she stayed here so long. Gustav says she was counting on my protection. Once I stopped being governor, and she had not heard of the father of her kids, she felt comfortable enough to go to MC. Cantu asks Gustav if he would be interested in providing him more info about Pepa.
At Gina's house, she is angry that Antonio keeps trying to rule her life. 'I don't want to keep on living at your rhythm, Gonzo's or Cantu's. I want to live my life! If you want a woman who will do as you say without questioning anything or saying her peace, you probably are with the wrong woman!' Cata and Antonio are concerned that something is bothering or anguishing Gina.
At Misery Manor, Gonzo gives Nata a support speech... he wants Nata to share with him her feelings, he wants Nata to stay a few days and give him a chance to help her... Antonio calls Gonzo to let him know Gina is in town. Gonzo will reactivate her security guards asap...
When Gonzo hangs up and tells Nata Gina is back in town, Nata is very bitter responding saying she wants Gina far from her and her life. Nata tells Gonzo that Gina knew why Jero married her. Gina is not a good person and i want her far away from me.
Berta is having a tantrum demanding that Fina give her a solution to the nightmare of having Matt and Jero on her tail about the DNA test.
Hono and Adri at her house... Hono does not want Blanca to find them.. Adri brings him to earth saying Blanca knows our phone number and our address, and even our routine. Hono is mad that he hired and even got along with that psychopath... Adri says she is beginning to believe the story that Blanca drugged him to get him in bed with her. Hono says that's the only way he could have done that. He absolutely loves COnnie, Adri points out that Blanca could go after Connie. Hono says that is true, need to find her but can't get her to answer her phone or be willing to talk to me. I am praying BLanca will not go after her.
Connie and Chema arrive at her house from having a good time at a karaoke bar... She remembers she was going to try to talk to Nata, but it is too late now, tomorrow she will. Chema tries to invite himself to spend the night, but she turns him down... He says 'you are driving me crazy!' but in a good mood and leaves. She watches him leave, and is smiling, not that uncomfortable looking at all.
At La Bonita, the happy couple are very smoochy and clingy, Mati finally sees 'el hermoso' as a sweet dream but Carlos is her sweet reality... Lazaro congratulates the couple... he wonders if it will work, they come from such different worlds, Carlos assures him his only intention is to make her happy. The idiot Mati brings back her 'curse' but Carlos keeps taking it as a joke and says she is blessed for all she makes him feel... Carlos asks Lazaro permission to take Mati somewhere... Lazaro says she is old enough. Carlos wants to do things right. Lazaro who is still in a sad mood, says you have to go after your happiness... because sorrows arrive on their own. When the happy couple leave, Manuela tells Lazaro he should do the same, to find his own happiness...
Fina is in her bedroom, gets a call, it is Gustavo her old boyfriend, seems he wants to meet her about Cantu and all the questions he was asking. Fina gets really nervous... (there must be something Gustavo has on her that is really important, i wonder if Gustavo knows the name of Roberto and/or that Nata is not her child) She yells at him not to call her again... he says never, even less when i tell you about an investigator that was asking about you and your daughters. Roberta comes in whining asking for the promised 'solution'. Once Fina yells at Rob to get out and Rob leaves in a huff, Fina tells Gustavo they have to meet and don't you dare talk to anyone before we talk.
Upstairs Rob and Nata are struggling in front of the stairs... Nata says even if I have to drag you i will make you take that DNA test, the only thing Rob is making me feel with her reluctance is that Jero is saying the truth and the child is not his. Rob pulls herself off yelling to Nata to let go of her... Humpty Dumpty had a great fall bouncy-bouncy tumbling down the steps belly down (of course! how else could it be?), all of a sudden all cameras malfunction and everything is in slow slo-mo... have to say it was all completely planed by Roberta who can think on her toes faster than her mom... she took one look at the stairs and came up with the idea all on her own... i am impressed!) Nata yells for mama, papa! (really, Nata? you could not call for Gonzo or Matias first?) Rob is yelling at Nata already not to touch her ... (come on! how many times Nata has to go through the torture of being blamed for everything by Rob and Fina for her to want to get out of that situation?? why does she keep coming back, masochist syndrome for sure!)
First to jump on scene is Fina, and Rob of course yells at her mom that Nata pushed her...
Fina: What happened??
Nata: She fell down the stairs!...
(REALLY??? I thought she was practicing her gymnastics and had tried to do a triple somersault dismount from the top step to see if she could land with feet planted on the first floor!
Ok, Nata I want you to start beating both of them to a pulp with one of those white giant bowling balls at the foot of the stairs... that is if you can lift them)
Fina: (the very predictable line, to Nata) How could you!!
In comes Gonzo almost diving right into Berta's belly! sorry, could not help it... DUMB number one... and the ever original first question 'what happened??'
In comes Matias who asks the same originality award winning question and then proceeds to grab Berta and take her in his arms.. (hey, dear tantrum boy... first lesson in first aid... you DON"T PICK UP someone who just tumbled down the stairs complaining of pain... there could be neck injury, head injury or spinal injury which you might have just made even more serious...) Now it is just pure pandemonium... Fina yelling curses and accusations at Nata, Berta complaining of it hurting, Nata trying to tell Gonzo I swear to you I did not do it!, Matt trying to pick up Berta and Gonzo trying to be totally useless... yelling 'Don't argue please!!' in a louder voice than them... Matt yells at Gonzo to get the door (Gonzo was too worried about stopping the argument than helping Berta... UN-BELIEVABLE!
Berta: Mom!, my baby, mom!!
Nata: Berta! Lets go with her, mom!!
Fina replays the scene we saw with the young girls where she pulls Nata by the hair... UN-BELIEVABLE!! 'Where are you going??'
(The voice of fear in Nata's voice looking at her mom when Fina has her grabbed by the hair with a mad dog face is priceless!!)
Nata: I will go with my sister, mom, please!!
Fina: You should have thought about it before pushing her down the staircase!
Nata: I did not push her!! We were arguing and she lost her balance and fell!... I swear it, mom, please!
Fina: I believe anything about you! You are capable of anything to destroy your sister's happiness!
Nata: No, mom, truly!
Fina: That is why you came back from the hacienda, no? To destroy her life! That is why you came to Mex City!
Nata: I only wanted to find the truth! To find justice! I did nothing wrong! I did not push her down!
Fina: Yeah I can see the justice you found! I don't want you near your sister! hear? I don't want you near her!
Nata: Mom..!... No!... I did not do anything to her, mom!! (she sits down in the stairs alone devastated...)
The pandemonium continues in the car... Fina calls the gynecologist to meet them in the hospital, already is asking her to be 'discreet' about the abortion... until they get a chance to talk... I am impressed with the way Fina can use all kinds of nastiness with Nata and a second later play the victim's voice on the cell phone to the Doctora...
Jero runs into Augie in hotel lobby... Augie is very sure Jero closed all his possibilities with Nata. Jero is sure Nata loves him and will never notice Augie... Augie brags that Nata used his shoulder to cry on... Jero says that is what you are for Nata, a shoulder to cry on, but her love is for me... Augie brags don't you see that I get what I want alway? I have your grapes, and will have your hacienda and Nata to live with in it as my woman!! (Jero is about to hit him) That is what gets you in trouble, you are too impulsivo... in love and business you have to have a cool head... Jero keeps saying you don' have Nata because she is too smart. Augie keeps arguing Jero was not able to make Nata happy, he will. Jero swears Nata is his and will never be Augies... Augie: We will see...
Hono finds Connie at Gina's center... Connie is surprised he is there.. .he was looking for her at her house, she tells him about the karaoke... With Chema? Yup, i had not had so much fun in a long time... Hono warns her about Blanca being a psychopath and can hurt you... Connie says ironically she already did... Hono is truly concerned about Connie's well being ... Connie says i am not a hurdle for her anymore... Hono says wrong! You will always be, because you have my love always... Connie says don't tell her so she won't harm me... Chema makes an opportune showing to break up the scene... Chema puts his hand on her shoulder which ignites a silent jealous rage in Hono... Connie is visibly uncomfortable but won't give in so she asks Hono 'need anything else'? No (he makes his exit, smoking red faced)
Another sweet scene with Carlos and Mati to break up all the tension... Carlos arranges for her to be ready in 3 hrs, he has some special plan for her. She will put a pretty dress Kari made for her a while back and she has not worn yet... Carlos can't wait in anticipation.
Nata in her bed, Augie calls but she does not want to meet him right now... Once he hangs up, door knocks at Augie's hotel room... its Selene... pushing herself up his sleeve... he is not really fighting it too hard... there is a call on his cell, but he won't answer, he wants to play with Sele instead...
Areli is saying her goodbyes... Lazaro tells her Augie is in MC... She says she wants to see Augie, but only to tell him something that is on her mind and then never see him again... Lazaro says I hope you will be able to... Areli says Augie is someone who just wants to control everyone else, to own everyone.. and when you fall in his trap it is hard to get out. but thanks to you I am able to.. With you I realized what caring folks can behave like... you helped me care about myself, value myself... Don't know why we always have to fall for who we should not... Maybe if you and I... (Lazaro turns her down again, but softly... the right man will arrive for you, when you expect it the least... ) They embrace for the goodbye, and this embrace is witnessed by Kari and Manuela... Kari is devastated.
ON their way back to the kitchen, Manuela consoles Kari, who thinks she lost everything... Manuela has a hard time believing the Doctorcito was so evil... Kari says it hurts bad about Alfo's betrayal and Lazaro's distancing himself from her... Manuela can understand Alfo, sometimes you don't consider the consequences of what you do... but about Lazaro... there is only one woman for him... you... but he is hurt... it will not be easy to win him back, but it all depends on you and your love for him...
At the fields, Carlos in on his cell phone making the arrangements for whatever surprise he has in mind for Mati. He is happy to hear it will all work out.
At hospital Jero is still waiting for Nata, Rob and Matt to show up, so he calls Nata's cell... Nata is not happy but answers his call. She tells him what happened. SHe swears to him she did not push Berta even though Berta says she did. Jero doesn't even care about that, he wants her to wait, he is heading there right now.
Nata then calls Gonzo at hospital to find out how the baby is. Gonzo tells her they have not said anything yet... She keeps insisting she did not push Berta. Gonzo says there will be time to talk about that. Just praying everything will be alright. Then Gonzo notices that Matt is devastated in a chair, neither Matt nor Gonzo believe Nata pushed Berta. Gonzo does not understand why Berta would say that, Matt say because Fina never helped them build a healthy sibling relationship...
At the office Adri lets Daniel review the financial reports... He immediately texts Blanca that he has the financial report... (are they planning on doctoring it to trick Hono and Gonzo?)
Adri goes to talk to Hono... she notices his anguish... he says he saw Connie with Chema and felt very angry... he doesn't know what he will do with this feeling... Adri says it shows you still love her... Hono says never question that, I love her with all my heart. Adri say then put aside your pride and go after her... Hono is shocked that his own daughter would give him relationship advise.
Connie is doing same with Chema in her own kitchen... he is trying to cheer her up... Connie is avoiding him and says she wants to go see Gina who is back in MC... Chema confronts her saying she is avoiding him... She says she still is trying to figure how to manage this situation... a month ago i did not even know I would be going through this... Chema says a month ago my mom was alive... did not say it to make her feel bad... on the contrary, live each day the way you want, in case you don't have a chance to tomorrow... don't concentrate in our differences, rather focus in our coincidences.
Jero arrives at MR manor...
Nata: I swear to you i never wanted to harm your baby or Berta.. I swear it...
Jero: Easy, easy... I believe you. (approaches her slowly showing lots of support...)
Nata: you really believe me?
Jero: Really.
Nata: ITs just that I wanted to go to the hospital but my mom did not let me... (wait, girl, you sound like a 8 year old punished for hurting her younger sibling ... I have to say SN saves this ridiculous line... She is the only one that can act through that ridiculous moment and make it somewhat believable)
Jero: ANd you are going to let your mother ban you from doing something you want to do?
Nata: She can't ban me from going to the hospital, right?
Jero: (nods no) Neither can she ban me...
Nata: We go?
Jero: Lets go.
At Ensenada town bar, Alvaro is half-drunk and comes in demanding drinks... the owner of the place comes to confront him calling him Alvaro (to which Alvaro takes offense, to this man and anyone in town he is DR ALVARO NESME!!) telling him that in his bar or anywhere in town, noone wants to hear from him... A man who loses himself in alcohol during a tragedy where his responsibility is saving lives and abuses of the wife of another man is an a___!!
Alvaro tries to pull rank, denies he abused her, and claims she gave herself to him, not once but many times... he says they will need his services, they say they would rather die than go to him. He gets kicked out of the place... not before the guy also calls him a murderer, accuses him that Rafa died in his hands because he was drunk the day he tried to treat him... Alvaro explodes and grabs him by the shirt... then he gets yelled at to leave by everyone in the place...
(seems Alvaro did not count on news moving fast around town... everyone knows about him being drunk with Rafa and also about him abusing Kari and Alfo... totally lost the respect of anyone in town... beginning with priest... this man better take a hike... far far away .. ON THE DOUBLE!!... )
Manuela finds Mati trying on her dress... she looks very pretty in a shorter white cotton dress... and a very happy face... which Manuela says when you are this happy you look even lovelier... Manuela says Carlos will go crazy when he sees her.
Fina in Berta's room in hospital, she seems to be in mood to celebrate rather than anguished...
Fina: You really surprised me now.
Berta: You did not pay attention to me (no me pelaste), you kicked me out of your room and I could not let Renata or Jero find out that I am not going to have Jero's baby, Matias' or anyone else's!
Fina: I noticed... but you got hurt... (in celebrating mode)
Berta: Yes, it hurts, but it was better than being discovered.
Doctora comes in...
Doctora: I told you it was wrong to take her out of the hospital.
Fina: But she is not here becuase of that... but because she fell down the stairs...So don't reprimend me, ok? (LOL!) I know you don't think I am a good mother, but I am truly! (wow! what a model mother!! give her the mother of the year award!!)
Doc: With the fall the earlier wound re-opened. so she will really have to stay a day or two for observation.
Rob: I don't want to stay!
Doc: If you don't your life will be at stake...
Fina: Alright, Doctora, it will be as you say... I only want to ask you a favor.. Could you tell my husband and his son that my daughter lost the baby today? ANd that it was the fall that provoked it?
Doc: (in disbelief) Do you realize what you are asking me?
Fina: The baby is gone already, no? Who cares if it was a few days ago or this morning?
Doc: I don't play your games, Ma'am!
Fina: Doctora, believe me that if it was not my daughter's emotional well being at stake in it, I would never ask you for it.
At La Bonita, Carlos is floored... Mati say I look horrible, right? OF course not! I am speechless!
He puts a blindfold on her to take her to 'a magical place that I prepared for you'... they take off...
Fina walks the doctora out to meet Gonzo and Matt... Gonzo asks the Doctora for Berta... Doctora say Berta is fine. Gonzo asks what about the baby? Fina jumps in and says the baby is gone. Berta lost it... Doctora gets a cell phone call and has to walk away...
Fina tells Gonzo it is even worse... Rob is sterile! (right on cue Nata arrives to hear the end of that)
Nata: What did you say, mom?
Fina: That you are the only one to blame for your sister Rob will NEVER... hear it well, ... NEVER have a baby.. you destroyed her life... and I hope you are happy now... (Nata is frozen,Jero is shocked... Gonzo has a warzone face.. Matt has a questioning glance for Fina...)
Previews: Voice over says everyone believed Roberta's lies... EXCEPT JERONIMO!..
Nata: What are you saying? that Rob threw herself down the steps?
Jero: Yes, that's what I am saying.
Voiceover: Jero is determine to prove his innocence to Nata, and to unmask Roberta!
Jero to Doctora: I am JL.. I need to talk to you. Can you give me five minutes please? ...(we see Jero put on a very taken aback face at something the Doctora tells him.. not sure if she tells him the lies or the truth...)
[Recap by Marta]
Alfo/Kari and the waterworks at full flow:
Kari: We were friends...
Alfo: I thought Alvaro would give me the queen lifestyle I wanted and that I did not have with Ezeq... (boy woman, you don't need anything short of a real beating and shooting you to a small island with no food or comforts)... No I realize Ezeq had me in a palace full of love, all golden.
Kari: Did you really think I lived in a palace? (Alfo nods yes) .. Things are not as they seem, Alfo... I would have been HAPPY to switch lives with you... you changed the love of a husband who respects you, loves you and cares for you... for a man like Alvaro who only cares about himself... And not only that, but you betrayed our friendship, and it hurts bad.
Alfo keeps apologizing but Kari is too hurt to listen... Lazaro was listening from across the room, though...
Laz: Kari, maybe what Alfo did was to take the blindfold off your eyes...
Kari: Yes, but she betrayed a friend... and it hurts real bad. ( good for you Kari... the least they can give you is some time to digest all that)
Kari and Laz leave a very upset Alfo..
Rob and Matt are walking together, seems around the garden of MR manor. Matt says you should do that DNA test since the dates are near each other and that baby could be mine too... Rob is upset (with her best buzzer voice... boy that woman has a really annoying voice.) Rob says a woman knows when she gets pregnant... And even though Nata told Jero I would do the DNA test, I won't do it! Matt asks, and what if I ask you? Jero seemed very sure he is not your baby daddy, and so I also want to make sure that baby is not mine.
Adri and Nata:
Adri: Sorry i don't mean to be on Jero's side but I could not deny helping him. Even if you get divorced, learning the truth will help you out in the long run. He swore to me that he never slept with Berta. Something in me believes him.
Nata: Yeah I am also blown away at his certainty of not being the daddy. But so what? It's not just Rob's baby, but he lied to me! he broke my heart! He took revenge on me for something I did not do!
Adri: I know how you feel, I am not defending him but I put myself in his shoes... I would probably do the same as him.
Nata: Oh that's great that you are not on his side! (what would you say if you were??)
Adri: Just think about it for a second... Put yourself in his shoes!! What if the one relative you had left that loved you in this world killed themselves for the betrayal of someone? What would have you done? Would you sit there with your arms crossed or would you have gone out to find out the truth, no matter who fell?
Nata: I don't know!
Adri: I bet you would have done same as him! I know you! You would never have let an injustice go unnoticed.The problem is that Jero got bad leads. He went after Rob, then you came and he got confused!
Nata: Well, how easy... so he says 'well, I was confused, I was wrong, forgive me!.. that easy, no? ITs not so easy, Adri!
Adri: Yeah but you lied to him too about your name! You told him you had a boyfriend right at the place Rafa agreed to meet you at! So the confusion makes sense.
Nata: You are trying to make me feel bad for Jero. But no. He fixed his issue, I have not!
Adri: NO, you are wrong! He has not either. He has been trying to prove it was Rob, but has not been able to even with the necklace, the letter and the heart. And on top of that he fell in love with you like a stupid and now he does not have you.

At Gina's house, she is angry that Antonio keeps trying to rule her life. 'I don't want to keep on living at your rhythm, Gonzo's or Cantu's. I want to live my life!

Cata and Antonio are concerned that something is bothering or anguishing Gina.
At Misery Manor, Gonzo gives Nata a support speech... he wants Nata to share with him her feelings, he wants Nata to stay a few days and give him a chance to help her... Antonio calls Gonzo to let him know Gina is in town. Gonzo will reactivate her security guards asap...

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall bouncy-bouncy tumbling down the steps belly down (of course! how else could it be?), all of a sudden all cameras malfunction and everything is in slow slo-mo... have to say it was all completely planed by Roberta who can think on her toes faster than her mom... she took one look at the stairs and came up with the idea all on her own... i am impressed!) Nata yells for mama, papa! (really, Nata? you could not call for Gonzo or Matias first?) Rob is yelling at Nata already not to touch her ... (come on! how many times Nata has to go through the torture of being blamed for everything by Rob and Fina for her to want to get out of that situation?? why does she keep coming back, masochist syndrome for sure!)
First to jump on scene is Fina, and Rob of course yells at her mom that Nata pushed her...
Fina: What happened??
Nata: She fell down the stairs!...
(REALLY??? I thought she was practicing her gymnastics and had tried to do a triple somersault dismount from the top step to see if she could land with feet planted on the first floor!
Ok, Nata I want you to start beating both of them to a pulp with one of those white giant bowling balls at the foot of the stairs... that is if you can lift them)
Fina: (the very predictable line, to Nata) How could you!!
In comes Gonzo almost diving right into Berta's belly! sorry, could not help it... DUMB number one... and the ever original first question 'what happened??'
In comes Matias who asks the same originality award winning question and then proceeds to grab Berta and take her in his arms.. (hey, dear tantrum boy... first lesson in first aid... you DON"T PICK UP someone who just tumbled down the stairs complaining of pain... there could be neck injury, head injury or spinal injury which you might have just made even more serious...) Now it is just pure pandemonium... Fina yelling curses and accusations at Nata, Berta complaining of it hurting, Nata trying to tell Gonzo I swear to you I did not do it!, Matt trying to pick up Berta and Gonzo trying to be totally useless... yelling 'Don't argue please!!' in a louder voice than them... Matt yells at Gonzo to get the door (Gonzo was too worried about stopping the argument than helping Berta... UN-BELIEVABLE!
Berta: Mom!, my baby, mom!!
Nata: Berta! Lets go with her, mom!!
Fina replays the scene we saw with the young girls where she pulls Nata by the hair... UN-BELIEVABLE!! 'Where are you going??'
(The voice of fear in Nata's voice looking at her mom when Fina has her grabbed by the hair with a mad dog face is priceless!!)
Nata: I will go with my sister, mom, please!!
Fina: You should have thought about it before pushing her down the staircase!
Nata: I did not push her!! We were arguing and she lost her balance and fell!... I swear it, mom, please!
Fina: I believe anything about you! You are capable of anything to destroy your sister's happiness!
Nata: No, mom, truly!
Fina: That is why you came back from the hacienda, no? To destroy her life! That is why you came to Mex City!
Nata: I only wanted to find the truth! To find justice! I did nothing wrong! I did not push her down!
Fina: Yeah I can see the justice you found! I don't want you near your sister! hear? I don't want you near her!
Nata: Mom..!... No!... I did not do anything to her, mom!! (she sits down in the stairs alone devastated...)
The pandemonium continues in the car... Fina calls the gynecologist to meet them in the hospital, already is asking her to be 'discreet' about the abortion... until they get a chance to talk... I am impressed with the way Fina can use all kinds of nastiness with Nata and a second later play the victim's voice on the cell phone to the Doctora...
Jero runs into Augie in hotel lobby... Augie is very sure Jero closed all his possibilities with Nata. Jero is sure Nata loves him and will never notice Augie... Augie brags that Nata used his shoulder to cry on... Jero says that is what you are for Nata, a shoulder to cry on, but her love is for me... Augie brags don't you see that I get what I want alway? I have your grapes, and will have your hacienda and Nata to live with in it as my woman!! (Jero is about to hit him) That is what gets you in trouble, you are too impulsivo... in love and business you have to have a cool head... Jero keeps saying you don' have Nata because she is too smart. Augie keeps arguing Jero was not able to make Nata happy, he will. Jero swears Nata is his and will never be Augies... Augie: We will see...
Hono finds Connie at Gina's center... Connie is surprised he is there.. .he was looking for her at her house, she tells him about the karaoke... With Chema? Yup, i had not had so much fun in a long time... Hono warns her about Blanca being a psychopath and can hurt you... Connie says ironically she already did... Hono is truly concerned about Connie's well being ... Connie says i am not a hurdle for her anymore... Hono says wrong! You will always be, because you have my love always... Connie says don't tell her so she won't harm me... Chema makes an opportune showing to break up the scene... Chema puts his hand on her shoulder which ignites a silent jealous rage in Hono... Connie is visibly uncomfortable but won't give in so she asks Hono 'need anything else'? No (he makes his exit, smoking red faced)
Another sweet scene with Carlos and Mati to break up all the tension... Carlos arranges for her to be ready in 3 hrs, he has some special plan for her. She will put a pretty dress Kari made for her a while back and she has not worn yet... Carlos can't wait in anticipation.
Nata in her bed, Augie calls but she does not want to meet him right now... Once he hangs up, door knocks at Augie's hotel room... its Selene... pushing herself up his sleeve... he is not really fighting it too hard... there is a call on his cell, but he won't answer, he wants to play with Sele instead...
Areli is saying her goodbyes... Lazaro tells her Augie is in MC... She says she wants to see Augie, but only to tell him something that is on her mind and then never see him again... Lazaro says I hope you will be able to... Areli says Augie is someone who just wants to control everyone else, to own everyone.. and when you fall in his trap it is hard to get out. but thanks to you I am able to.. With you I realized what caring folks can behave like... you helped me care about myself, value myself... Don't know why we always have to fall for who we should not... Maybe if you and I... (Lazaro turns her down again, but softly... the right man will arrive for you, when you expect it the least... ) They embrace for the goodbye, and this embrace is witnessed by Kari and Manuela... Kari is devastated.
ON their way back to the kitchen, Manuela consoles Kari, who thinks she lost everything... Manuela has a hard time believing the Doctorcito was so evil... Kari says it hurts bad about Alfo's betrayal and Lazaro's distancing himself from her... Manuela can understand Alfo, sometimes you don't consider the consequences of what you do... but about Lazaro... there is only one woman for him... you... but he is hurt... it will not be easy to win him back, but it all depends on you and your love for him...
At the fields, Carlos in on his cell phone making the arrangements for whatever surprise he has in mind for Mati. He is happy to hear it will all work out.
At hospital Jero is still waiting for Nata, Rob and Matt to show up, so he calls Nata's cell... Nata is not happy but answers his call. She tells him what happened. SHe swears to him she did not push Berta even though Berta says she did. Jero doesn't even care about that, he wants her to wait, he is heading there right now.
Nata then calls Gonzo at hospital to find out how the baby is. Gonzo tells her they have not said anything yet... She keeps insisting she did not push Berta. Gonzo says there will be time to talk about that. Just praying everything will be alright. Then Gonzo notices that Matt is devastated in a chair, neither Matt nor Gonzo believe Nata pushed Berta. Gonzo does not understand why Berta would say that, Matt say because Fina never helped them build a healthy sibling relationship...
At the office Adri lets Daniel review the financial reports... He immediately texts Blanca that he has the financial report... (are they planning on doctoring it to trick Hono and Gonzo?)
Adri goes to talk to Hono... she notices his anguish... he says he saw Connie with Chema and felt very angry... he doesn't know what he will do with this feeling... Adri says it shows you still love her... Hono says never question that, I love her with all my heart. Adri say then put aside your pride and go after her... Hono is shocked that his own daughter would give him relationship advise.
Connie is doing same with Chema in her own kitchen... he is trying to cheer her up... Connie is avoiding him and says she wants to go see Gina who is back in MC... Chema confronts her saying she is avoiding him... She says she still is trying to figure how to manage this situation... a month ago i did not even know I would be going through this... Chema says a month ago my mom was alive... did not say it to make her feel bad... on the contrary, live each day the way you want, in case you don't have a chance to tomorrow... don't concentrate in our differences, rather focus in our coincidences.
Jero arrives at MR manor...
Nata: I swear to you i never wanted to harm your baby or Berta.. I swear it...
Jero: Easy, easy... I believe you. (approaches her slowly showing lots of support...)
Nata: you really believe me?
Jero: Really.
Nata: ITs just that I wanted to go to the hospital but my mom did not let me... (wait, girl, you sound like a 8 year old punished for hurting her younger sibling ... I have to say SN saves this ridiculous line... She is the only one that can act through that ridiculous moment and make it somewhat believable)
Jero: ANd you are going to let your mother ban you from doing something you want to do?
Nata: She can't ban me from going to the hospital, right?
Jero: (nods no) Neither can she ban me...
Nata: We go?
Jero: Lets go.
At Ensenada town bar, Alvaro is half-drunk and comes in demanding drinks... the owner of the place comes to confront him calling him Alvaro (to which Alvaro takes offense, to this man and anyone in town he is DR ALVARO NESME!!) telling him that in his bar or anywhere in town, noone wants to hear from him... A man who loses himself in alcohol during a tragedy where his responsibility is saving lives and abuses of the wife of another man is an a___!!
Alvaro tries to pull rank, denies he abused her, and claims she gave herself to him, not once but many times... he says they will need his services, they say they would rather die than go to him. He gets kicked out of the place... not before the guy also calls him a murderer, accuses him that Rafa died in his hands because he was drunk the day he tried to treat him... Alvaro explodes and grabs him by the shirt... then he gets yelled at to leave by everyone in the place...
(seems Alvaro did not count on news moving fast around town... everyone knows about him being drunk with Rafa and also about him abusing Kari and Alfo... totally lost the respect of anyone in town... beginning with priest... this man better take a hike... far far away .. ON THE DOUBLE!!... )
Manuela finds Mati trying on her dress... she looks very pretty in a shorter white cotton dress... and a very happy face... which Manuela says when you are this happy you look even lovelier... Manuela says Carlos will go crazy when he sees her.
Fina in Berta's room in hospital, she seems to be in mood to celebrate rather than anguished...
Fina: You really surprised me now.
Berta: You did not pay attention to me (no me pelaste), you kicked me out of your room and I could not let Renata or Jero find out that I am not going to have Jero's baby, Matias' or anyone else's!
Fina: I noticed... but you got hurt... (in celebrating mode)
Berta: Yes, it hurts, but it was better than being discovered.
Doctora comes in...
Doctora: I told you it was wrong to take her out of the hospital.
Fina: But she is not here becuase of that... but because she fell down the stairs...So don't reprimend me, ok? (LOL!) I know you don't think I am a good mother, but I am truly! (wow! what a model mother!! give her the mother of the year award!!)
Doc: With the fall the earlier wound re-opened. so she will really have to stay a day or two for observation.
Rob: I don't want to stay!
Doc: If you don't your life will be at stake...
Fina: Alright, Doctora, it will be as you say... I only want to ask you a favor.. Could you tell my husband and his son that my daughter lost the baby today? ANd that it was the fall that provoked it?
Doc: (in disbelief) Do you realize what you are asking me?
Fina: The baby is gone already, no? Who cares if it was a few days ago or this morning?
Doc: I don't play your games, Ma'am!
Fina: Doctora, believe me that if it was not my daughter's emotional well being at stake in it, I would never ask you for it.
At La Bonita, Carlos is floored... Mati say I look horrible, right? OF course not! I am speechless!
He puts a blindfold on her to take her to 'a magical place that I prepared for you'... they take off...
Fina walks the doctora out to meet Gonzo and Matt... Gonzo asks the Doctora for Berta... Doctora say Berta is fine. Gonzo asks what about the baby? Fina jumps in and says the baby is gone. Berta lost it... Doctora gets a cell phone call and has to walk away...
Fina tells Gonzo it is even worse... Rob is sterile! (right on cue Nata arrives to hear the end of that)
Nata: What did you say, mom?
Fina: That you are the only one to blame for your sister Rob will NEVER... hear it well, ... NEVER have a baby.. you destroyed her life... and I hope you are happy now... (Nata is frozen,Jero is shocked... Gonzo has a warzone face.. Matt has a questioning glance for Fina...)
Previews: Voice over says everyone believed Roberta's lies... EXCEPT JERONIMO!..
Nata: What are you saying? that Rob threw herself down the steps?
Jero: Yes, that's what I am saying.
Voiceover: Jero is determine to prove his innocence to Nata, and to unmask Roberta!
Jero to Doctora: I am JL.. I need to talk to you. Can you give me five minutes please? ...(we see Jero put on a very taken aback face at something the Doctora tells him.. not sure if she tells him the lies or the truth...)

Wow Marta, you did this recap quickly! I haven't even had a chance to watch the episode yet. Of course I had to peek at your recap when posting it; sounds like another action-packed hour.
Thanks for your typically terrific recap with translated conversations and everything. I can't wait to watch and re-read your recap.

Finally a cool morning enjoying my coffee before work on the balcony.And your great recap to enjoy as well - perfect morning (before heading the craziness at work).
Well, if our Jero-hero is going to start moving himself from the Dark Side, his little talk with Nata on how her mother can't tell her what to do was well-timed and a good start. He sees himself the affects of her abuse - this isn't just a crappy mother, this is one who is able to make a grown woman react like a small child as soon as she speaks.
Please, the good doctor seems like a smart cookie - I pray she tells Jero the truth. We can't have every single medical person in this TN be bought off or incompentent. I mean, seriously!
Gina's explostion at Toni - priceless!!! And mama needs to get a grip too.
Speaking of incompetent-loved the bar scene. So what's the slime-ball going to do now? And shame on Alfi if those were her true reasons for the hookup. Lame lame.
As for Augie - his personal slime meter has been rising lately. Even that confident, cocky smile he threw Jero made my skin crawl. And then when he just went for the Little Stalker - thank you director for sparing us the details on that hook-up. Barf! (Wait till she starts stalking him! He'll love that.)
So could spare girl be a possible positive tool before she sails to the sunset? She's coming to town and she knows a few pieces of good info - she needs to have a little sit down with Nata-not Augie. Hope Hope.
So does Fina do in the former Governor? She might have to start making her murder list cause she has a LOT of people who are starting to get wise to her. And like a true TN villian, she needs to rachet up the death count so we can have a really good "and now you get yours!" at the end of this show.

daisy, loved your 'wait till she starts stalking him, he'll love that... RIGHT ON SIS!
I have to say this was definitely a move in the right direction for Jero... if everyone else is against her and her dad is tiptoeing around, Jero can be the day's hero...
I loved Adri's 'the way it is' talk to Nata...
and yes, the bar owner and all the town men there were great to stand up to Alvaro like that and give him some reality check... 'you get what you ask for' with your actions.
was fun to watch how 'all the king's men' scrambled to get the princess to the hospital and still could not get humpty together again or smiling again

Loved Chema's consistent 'what you see is what you get' attitude.
I want my own Lazaro and my own Carlos!! nuff said!!! Mati is too stupid and stubborn... take the gift and roll with it, girl!!
Been thinking of possible pairs for new novelas... I can see that there might be chemistry with Juan Soler and Martha Julia... those could work together... and I am thinking David de la Mota and Marisol del Olmo too... his sweetnes and her toughness with a sensitive side could work too.

WHAAAAAAT!!! I'm watching my tape of last night and had to stop at Chema's begging for candy from the nice lady in cotton-candy pink. Again, I say QUUUUEEEEE! Day-yam Chema, get yourself a girlie magazine and take care of that brutha! I'm glad they're making him appear so immature though, that tells me she and Hon are going to get back together. I didn't think they'd kiss and I was wrong, now I don't think Connie's gonna give him any candy so don't y'all make no liar outta me!
Thank you Cap'n! This is going to be a late afternoon treat reading your cap. Gotta finish the ep. I'm a day behind because Comcast crapped out on the most exciting show ever (#75) Belated thanks to Jules and all the lively, fun and analytical C2 comments! WOW!

Another great one Marta. Thanks for the blow by blow of the conversation between Adriana & Renata. That Adri is turning out to be a real source of wisdom. Then later Jero shows up and also acts reasonably --seems like a turning point. Thank heaven Nata has a few people in her corner.
I knew that girl was going to go down those stairs. I didn't want it but it was obvious. Glad that stairs aren't a source of terror in my real life -- every set in TN land seems just waiting for disaster. Now PLEASE don't let that doctora be a liar. Do you think that the shock on Jero's face in the previews could mean that he finds out just how far along that fetus was???
Good fro Regina standing up to Antonio & not wanting to live her life at his rhythm or anyone else's.
Sounds as if Jero held up pretty well in his conversation with Auggie. That's another scene I'll have to catch when I get back to civilization and my VCR.
Marta, I loved your take on Robrta ... with her best buzzer voice. You're right sometimes that voice just sears the ears.

Marta- This was one of your best.
I vote for Chema as last night's Mr. Inappropriate. He's a sweetie, but did he really think Connie was going to invite him to spend the night so soon? Down boy!
In that little spitting contest between Jero and Augie, Augie was right. Jero's problem has been that he reacts impulsively and with anger, without thinking things through. He needs to become more level headed like Augie, just not evil. His calm, uinconditional support of Nata last night was perfect. He needs to keep that up.
Nata was all set to leave that evil house, but Gonzo convinced her to stay a few more days, and this is the result. I hope that she defies Gonzo and leaves right away.

Fantastic, Marta! Super job! Thank you so much.
So much to say, but will come back later.
One thing I really need to get off my chest...Tony standing there with Dona Cata saying he didn't like Regina's 'attitude' and Cata turning to him saying 'I'm telling you, I don't recognise her...I just don't'. GET A GRIP you goons. GET A GRIP.
I was SO proud of Regina for that; SO PROUD of her!!!
I am worried for the PI. I didn't expect the former mayor or whatever he is to spill the beans to Malafina. PI is in danger. Malafina will promise something to her former lover to get him to cooperate with her. That is her usual tactic.
...and those stairs. I felt worried when I saw the avances and, sure enough, it happened.
Shades of Nata being a child again when Malafina grabbed her hair. That was utterly sickening to me.
Gracias, Marta!!
Susanita

sorry,
The voice of fear in Nata's voice
was meant to be
The look of fear in Nata's eyes...
had the wrong sense going there... lol
I do see the point of some of you that chema is acting immature with his 'forward-ness' and this might give Connie an excuse to go back to Hon... i still like Chema though, maybe he should find a good girl his age and we will see more 'sweet guy ideas' down the road.

Great recap, Marta. Nicely done with excellent translations.
Adriana shines once again although I think she is being a bit too lenient on Jerry. No, I don't think Renata or any other sane person would have acted the same as Jerry.
That whole vengeance thing was petty and I think sick. Even if he were correct in all of his idiotic conclusions, then Rafa was unstable and made a stupid choice. Renata's a callous cow, tell her how you feel if you must, call the cops if you think she committed a crime... but to marry her in order to make her miserable... is that sane? Por favor.
Sorry, maybe it's because I'm a guy (and an old one at that), but that Chema makes my skin crawl.
Love Doc at the bar. The bartender, however, is not completely blameless. I believe it was he who served drinks to the Doc right up to the moment he had to close up for the storm.
I'm not too worried about the lady Doc compromising her ethics, unless they are one of the main bad guys, lady Drs. (and judges) seem to be steadfastly upright. Now she really shouldn't be sharing private information about Roberta with Jerry, though.
As I mentioned yesterday, the technology is available for getting all the DNA details of the pregnancy from a blood sample from Roberta... at least for a few more days.
I realize my comments today make me sound like a bitter old scold. I'm really enjoying this show you guys... really...

Marta, What a fabulous recap. You really do render the conversations iwth such precision. I loved your imagery, especially Roberta doing a gymnists' dive down the stairs and perfect dismount, and Gonzo's warzone face just to mention a few. And the Keystone Kops rushing to smash Roberta into the car was almost laughable since we knew she wasn't really hurt. She did have an independent thought to transact this. Before when she was whining at Fina to tell her what to do, I almost felt sorry for her again. Almost...
Whew, what an episode that sets up so many plot threads to follow. I liked a line in Arely's speech that reminds us that Augie is mister wonderful until he conquers a woman. Renata better talk to Lazaro who is the only one wh o heard this.
I liked that Jero found a way to come to Renata's side to show support in her protestations that she did not push Roberta. I love it when the protagonists can come together to fight against everyone else, but this won't last once Jero proves his and now Renata's innocence in this case.

"Cata and Antonio are concerned that something is bothering or anguishing Gina." Y'all think? Boy those two are really on the ball as usual...NOT. Gina just told them that *they* are bothering her, how about they back off for a change?
"its Selene... pushing herself up his sleeve," what a great phrase. It describes Sele perfectly. I, too, am anxious to see how Mr. Cool handles Sele's stalker tendencies.
My recollection is that Pepa/Fina did not tell Gustavo that Renata is not her own child. Maybe she somehow let it slip over the years, but originally when she introduced "her" daughters to him that's when she quickly changed little Regina's name to Renata. I think.
I love how Alvaro had to face the mob mentality. He loves to terrorize women but none of the guys fall for his bull. ITA Marta, he should leave pronto; that crowd could get ugly.
Marta, thanks again for your excellent recap and wonderful conversation translations. They are super!

It was a great read, Marta. I especially like the dialog. You always deliver!
Maybe Spare Girl will come to MC and start working in the Casa with Regina and Connie....and Chema and that starts a little spark in him. I agree with Marta that he needs to find someone else since Connie is destined to go back to Hono.
There has to be a special corner reserved in Hell for Malafina where she roasts forever, dressed in black. That or an award for best villainess, or both....
The writers of this show have given us a totally believable, truly heartless sociopath (if that's still in the DSM). Justice should prevail and her punishment should be deserving--and not some impersonal firey plane crash in the distance (thanks, Meh-jia).
Yes, Jero did eat a little crow with Augie, but showed his conceit when he declared that Renata's love belonged to him. He showed his good side to Renata. I'm glad she didn't reject him on the spot.
I hope that what he finds out from la doctora is how far along the pregnancy was and he can start adding things up.
Renata needs a safe haven. She should decamp for Connie's and Jero should be there to give her care and comfort. A reconciliation should follow soon and then they can work together to unmask Fina and reunite with Regina.
Can't wait to see the reunion, followed by Gonzo and Regina's wedding--if they are still alive at that point.

are we still bitter about the blah ending of TdA? i did not watch that novela but i tuned in to the 2 hr ending and I kept telling myself what a blah ending vs the one in El Privi... they really made it lame.

Marta what a terrific recap of a exciting episode.
Hooray Regina tell off both of clueless annoying people who don't really have your best interest at heart. if they did they would take the time to at least listen to your opinions?
I love the mob mentality especially when used against a scumbucket like Dr. Never saw a drink he didn't want to guzzle down. So deserving.
Alfosina reason for the affair was envy? How about letting someone that gross looking with those two hairy arms doing the nasty with him? Again what in the world was this woman thinking or better yet seeing in him? Ugh! and Blech!
Selene makes her move and Auggie doggie heels wait until he has to use a taser to keep Stalking Selene away from him.
I never thought Consta would go there she was just having her pride abused and self esteemed issues.
Now buckle up Hon and win you woman back and get after Miss Looney Tunes because Consta is in harm's way. Better recruit some of Gonzo's security to protect your woman.

Thanks Marta, and thanks Jules...I've been out of the loop for a couple of days and will miss Friday's show as well.
What bits I have seen have me puzzled. What are the wardrobe people trying to express with Renata's little girl outfits?..both of the latest ones look like something a toddler would wear, other than the gloves which were simply insane. But a wee little girl might do something goofy like put a cozy warm scarf on with a sleeveless top and short skirt.
Well, you can see I'm trying to distract myself from all the dreadful happening with musing on the unattractive, immature garb they're suddenly foisting on Renata. If it's supposed to express her regressing to the state of a cowed, fearful child once back under Fina's dominion, it's....well, it's still goofy. Let's get her back into some grown woman clothes and back in the office where she can short-circuit Blanca's evil machinations.

As for Roberta's fall down the stairs it was planned that's all she could think of on the spare of the moment since Mommy Dearest was too busy to help her out. It almost reminded me of the same scene in Mi Pecado as Lorena another BSC woman was pregnant but knew the galan was not the father. She look down the stairs and then looked back at the heroine as she tthrew her own self down the stairs.
This wasn't quite like that but it was effective placing the blame on Renata.
Poor Renata she has reverted back to a little abused girl.
Ita about Jerko redeeming himself a little being kind and supportive and there Renata she is going to need it.
Adriana i so love her and direct honesty and truthfulness with everyone. I have a feeling she is going to make Daniel feel a lot smaller in stature once she finds out he's been helping her Batness In Crazytown Blanca.
That Doctor didn't look like she was going to do Malafina's bidding.
So finally Jerko sees for himself the type of abuse Renata has had to put up with all of these years. He was shocked or shall we say muy impactada!!!!!
Yeah from the previews it looks like he either gets how far along Roberta really was therefore making the baby not his or Matias.Or the good Dr. told him about how Malafina tried to get her to lie to her husband and his son about when her daughter had the miscarriage. Either option left Jerko's reaction once again muy impactada!!!!!!
I like what Matias said during the wait for news to Gonzo about how Fina has treated both sister and that she is the cause for the sibling rivalry between them. Moreso on Roberta's part.
Finally goodness what ever is a psychopath but bumbling would be serial murder to do as the list keeps growing everyday?
It's either Gustavo or the investigator or both. Then there's annoying sister-in law Consta butting in her business how dare she!
Regina her rival and long time enemy.
Jerko who is persistent and just won't go away darn annoying so what i told him a big lie he didn't have to believe me!!! Marry my daughter for revenge how is this my fault? Got to rid of this jerk once and for all.Oh thank goodness he doesn't know the role i played in his brother's murder.
Gonzo it's only a matter of time because you keep chasing after my rival and now you're beginning to not believe in my lies or how he even dares to question my innocence? The nerve of this man.
The lawyer this flackey is getting on my last nerve sure he's useful with news and updated Info on Regina but does he really think i will leave my life of luxury for him?
Renata killing you off will be my greatest achievement it hurts and destroys your real mother and i get rid of a major headache.But not until i get my hands on your inheritance. You can never have enough money.
Cata this woman is the mother of my hated enemy yeah i could knock her off if given the chance.
Isidro and Ines either one if they keep asking questions they're goners for sure. Can't have my past be a liability.
BSC Blanca if this woman wasn't trying to ruin my financial fortune and my lifestyle she would be a welcome ally. But this BSC heifer is messing with my money and this psychopath isn't having this. I can bump her off and put the blame on Hon and then that will get Consta off of my back. yeah i'm liking this plan more and more.
So many murders to plan and so little time i can't get caught.Who to do first they all keep vying for first place whatever is a bumbling would be serial murderer to do?

Blusamurai, I love your hit list. Yes it all swirls around Fina and she'll have to get going if she wants to rid herself of all those who threaten her cozy world.
I do expect that either the investigator who traced Pepa/Fina or the ex-mayor/lover are the next to go.
But poor Constanza -- she has two wacko women who would love to see her disappear. She better watch her back.

So in case anyone is wondering, Mexico does have an energency system, like 911. It looks like you can call 911 and in MC it'll get redirected to their 065 system (for medical emergencies). No one on this novela seems to have heard about it. At lease they could call one of the many doctors floating in and out for Fina before trying to move Roberta!

Marta. Loved your recap. Thanks for the dialogues. They really help out.
I’m with you on this “David de la Mota and Marisol del Olmo”. MdO is one of my favs, I loved her in STuD, she always gives a solid performance. DdlM--love him in this and he has become a fav, too.
Did Hon tell Coni that he had been drugged? I can’t remember. Or did she just say “using THAT tired old excuse.”?
Guera: I have a vague memory of an episode of FRIENDS where they were all watching a TN and kept shouting “push her down the stairs, push her down the stairs” which, someone did, and they all cheered.
I can see now why the Nata who was beginning to stand up to her mother, was cowering when she had a hold of her hair. I missed the hair pulling ep. In fact I missed all the child abuse eps—so glad now.
Carlos: I think Jero married Nata because he loved her. I think he thinks he did it because he wanted revenge. Nata mentioning Rafa on their wedding night switched him to full revenge mode. He’s definitely a freak. And I have no doubt you really like the show—at least the Alfonsina/Mati portions :)
JudyB re: Nata’s wardrobe. I was thinking the same thing, especially about the gloves, then I remembered she is supposed to be in her early-20s and maybe young people are dressing like that now?
I know we’re all rooting for a Adri/Matias hook-up, but I’m not sure he deserves her.
Blu: “Yeah from the previews it looks like he either gets how far along Roberta really was therefore making the baby not his or Matias.Or the good Dr. told him about how Malafina tried to get her to lie to her husband and his son about when her daughter had the miscarriage. Either option left Jerko's reaction once again muy impactada!!!!!!” I hope you’re right and it’s not because she’s lied to him to protect Rob’s “emotional health”.

Nata did leave all her clothes in Baja. Remember that she told Augie all she needed to travel with was her handbag. I think her suitcases are at Jero's. Maybe all she had left back at the house were her teenage to early 20s clothes. And yes, she is still in her early 20s (24-25). Judy, I also think you're right that they are playing up her little girl lost status with these clothes. They have a funky urban vibe about them, so I don't mind.
Fina did not just grab her hair. She also yanked her back to the staircase with her hair. I think Nata was too upset and scared about what had just happened to Berta to really fight back and so she reverted again to her little girl self. Jero actually spoke to her in just the right tone to bring her back to her adult self/state of mind. But she needs to get out of that house, no matter how much Gonzo begs her to stay. He always just stands by and lets Fina spew her venom. When he was on the phone with Nata and she swore she didn't push Berta, he just said we'll talk about it later. Instead he should have immediately said "I KNOW you didn't do it and your sister is either mistaken or lying." His response did not send a resounding message that he believes her. I remember the same thing happened with the photoshop picture incident. He's never quick to condemn (which is why Berta gets away with so much), but he's never quick to give unconditional support on the spot either. He's great and loving later in one on one situtions. But Nata needs that kind of fierce support when Berta and Fina are attacking her, not just later when she's alone with Gonzo.

Thanks, Marta for a wonderful recap. Your detail is always greatly appreciated.
Carlos, I agree with you about Chema. He is definitely Mr. I - hope he stays there and doesn't turn into Mr. Creepy.
Vivi, you are so right about Gonzo. He just sits and watches instead of 'Daddy-ing'.
Can't wait for tonight's ep.

Sylvia I know you like to try different things on the kitchen and I just found a nice page with several recipes of Mexican traditional food. I thought you might like to take a look.

Vivi,
"...he should have immediately said "I KNOW you didn't do it and your sister is either mistaken or lying."
Thanks for the reminder. That annoyed me so much. He could have easily said, "Yes, Honey, I know." and then said exactly what he went on to say. It sure would have been reassuring.
I enjoyed his look of consternation when Renata vented her spleen over Regina. This actor does beleaguered and bewildered so well.
Marta,
"Nata: I swear to you i never wanted to harm your baby or Berta.. I swear it..."
I thought it was interesting that Jerry didn't gently correct her on that point ("tu hijo"). I even rewound to see if maybe the CCs were just wrong and perhaps she said, "su hijo," but the way she speaks I couldn't tell. Did you hear, "tu hijo"? or were you also going by the CCs?
As much as I'm loving the Matilde/Carlos thing, I can't help but be a little worried for Carlos. They have certainly emphasized that Mati-curse thing. I hope it was just to have her play hard to get.
How much does Fina actually know about the Blanca/Honorio/Coni thing? She seems only peripherally interested in that it gives her something to taunt Coni with. I'm still not convinced that she's not in cahoots with Blanca (although I like Blusamurai's analysis of her attitude toward Blanca).

Carlos
Vivi: Good analysis. It was so hard to watch Malafina literally pull Nata to the side of the stairs. It was sickening.
Your point on Gonzo are well taken. There are times I'd like to reach in; give him a good slap, and tell him to open his eyes.
I think dear Matias is beginning to slowly put things together.
Adri will be the catalyst for all of them to open their eyes. I just love her! We keep saying this, but I think she is an excellent casting choice and has such excellent chemistry with SN.
I nearly stood up and cheered last night when Jero actually did something right, for a change. It was a good move. I hope he can continue to move forward instead of regressing because of his anger.
As for Chema...I see nothing wrong with a May/December romance in the right situation. I think it's nice that the writers have seen fit to show a handsome young man appreciating a woman who is older (N.B. I did not call her an older woman, but simply older than Chema)
In some ways, his appreciation and admiration of Stanza is very mature on his part. It's his pushing her to move quickly that reveals his immaturity.
Getting back to Gonzo...he needs to stop acting like his Muppet Show namesake. Open your eyes, Mister!!!

Marta! My apologies and applause! Thank you for the wonnnnderful recap! The detailed conversation really brings it to life! Oh boy what an exciting episode though between Chema, Blanca, Pusbucket, Fina and Roberta I'm left shouting, cursing, growling and wanting to puke! Doc Carlos I feel ya! Thank goodness for Carlos and Matty!
I don't know why but I was surprised and disappointed that Fina's old boyfriend squealed: I was hoping he was hungry for a little payback. He didn't look too well shod: maybe he's going to play both ends, supply information on her and maybe get a few pesos from Fina on the side as well. I just hope what he told her was to grease her up to talk more. We'll see!
Doctora! Please, don't be so easily talked out of your ethics! Oh My Gosh! Of course, as someone noted, it would be unethical to talk to Jero as well. If the Doctors don't have morals or moxie then where is Inez, SHE knows the truth! Ayyy! Okay. Let me calm down and get ready for tonight!

Carlos- She did say tu hijo, and I'm glad Jero didn't take that moment to try to correct her. It wasn't the right time. Good on him for realizing that.
But, but, but, wouldn't it be still ethical if Jero tells Lady Doc that he is the putative father?

Gonzo's actions and expressions the last two episodes have made me remember an old song about "bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I...."
The Renata clothes discussion was interestng. Let's hope it is just her post-teen wardrobe available at the house. In contrast, Roberta looked half way grown up while walking iwth Matias in th garden and during her gynmastics display on the stairs. Interesting switch.

Vivi: "She did say tu hijo, and I'm glad Jero didn't take that moment to try to correct her. It wasn't the right time. Good on him for realizing that." I, too was wondering why he didn't correct her, but what you said makes sense. I have to say I really liked Jero at that moment. This is how he should have been behaving the whole time and, hopefully, will do so from now on. Too much to expect?

Cheryl that sounds great! I will be waiting to hear from you. I've been waiting to meet you.
By the way, today one of Carlos's favorite bad girls comes back to Univision.

Cheryl: Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered...no one sings it like Linda Ronstadt! I also love her "Canciones de mi Padres"

Oh Susanita, love the Linda R. disc so much, I need a new one to copy to all my computers. I still like the physical copy.
Ahoy all, I have been busy with unexpected guests today. Bummer I missed such a great conversation.
Jarocha, thank you for the wonderful link! It has many great recipes I can't wait to read and try. I have been turned on to a lot of wonderful foods and recipes thanks to my telenovela addiction.
Now here is a coincidence regarding Renata's gloves. Just today in the city we noticed a number of young ladies driving, walking about town, etc. who were wearing gloves! Some were the wrist type that Nata was wearing and we even saw one woman driving with elbow-length gloves. This must be a new thing.

Carlos, vivi, i agree with vivi's reason. it was not the right time for him to turn the focus back on him and proving his innocence... it was time to support her and that is what he did...
Sylvia,
My daughter got gloves like those for xmas, although my daughter's were more colorful and had only two holes, one for thumb and the other for rest of fingers, not individual holes like Nata's... but those gloves seem to be 'in' for the last yr or so.
