Teresa Mon 8/29/11 #126 Teresa Plays Hard To Get Hard Ball With Fernando; Or, Oriana, If You Could See Me Now!
We return to Mexico City as Teresa, having survived her near rape with hubby’s Hyde-like alter ego, has taken her set of keys and high-heeled it over to Casa de los Barrera, and then thrown herself onto the mercy of her week-kneed, ex-knoodling, knight in shining armor, Fernando. Tipsy from too much tinto, Fernando is only too ready to lend a sympathetic ear, shoulder, and miscellaneous other body parts to comfort this daring damsel in the guise of distress and affected dis-dress. The two of them are both in the moment and the moment says go for it. They do and it’s Houston, we have contact! Lustful lip-locking (at least on Nando’s part) has ensued.
Teresa (never one to sell herself cheaply) smiles to think she’s got Fernando right where she needs him, and Oriana, if she could see her now! But no, it's not time yet for that she decides.
At Casa Chavez, Refugio wants Armando to go over to Art and Tere’s to check on them under the guise of dropping off some more documents Tere signed. He says he’s not about to stick his nose in where it’s not wanted and doesn’t belong, altho’ he says that Teresa was wrong not to tell her hubby where she was headed first. Refu agrees. “--Out of the question! [ni hablar=certainly not].”
Meanwhile, Tere’s given Nando a preview of the goods on display and suddenly, with a flourish of genteel moral rectitude, she pulls away from him. Nando looks momentarily stunned or confused, or both. His motor is running and the engine is in high gear. He goes in for another sensual stunner on Teresa's lipluscious mouth and neck. (Viewerville keeps their eyes on the screen as they shove their hands in the freezer! OMG! That guy is such.a.hunk! Peggy Lee’s rendition of “Fever” immediately comes to mind. Fernando has got the fever all right. PSSSsssss.... “What a lovely way to burn!”) Teresa puts on the handbrake. “¡Ay, Fernando! Think of Arturo and Luisa! What we’ve just done is wrong!”
Tere then races up to her bedroom and leaves Nando anguished and obviously torn between desperately wanting to swive the wench and not wanting to screw over dear Luisa. Upstairs, though, Teresa smirks and tells herself that she didn’t realize how easy it would be; very soon she’ll have him eating out of her hand. Fern races upstairs and starts knocking on her door, asking to speak with her, to clarify things. She feigns guilt and shame (in between a couple of shameless and guilt-free giggles) and refuses him. They'll talk in the morning, she promises. No way will she leave herself out in the cold, she tells herself. “All right,” he says through the door. “Whatever you want, Teresa.” He walks away. Yeah, that’s right she says to herself. Things are always done the way she wants them. After all, between to be and not to be, she exists!

Yeah, that’s right she says to herself. Things are always done the way she wants them. After all, between to be and not to be, she exists!
The next morning first thing Fernando’s right back at her door again (like a moth to the flame) and wanting to talk things through. (He looks like he slept in his suit, the poor guy.) Tere comes to the door in a silky, blue teddy-gown (sans her usual robe and any pretense of underlying modesty.) He’s surprised she slept there at the house last night, he says. She says of course she did because she didn’t dare return to her place. (That’s no lie.) However she was up most of the night worrying, though. He mentions he stayed there also for the same reasons. He gets within inches of her face; he tells her they need to talk things over. He smiles slightly and lets her know that he was attracted to her from the first moment he saw her. She says ditto and then babbles on about how she felt so protected with him last night. She’s acted as if she disliked him to avoid letting her feelings betray her love for her husband, blah, blah, blah. The truth, tho’, she explains, is that she let herself get carried away and shouldn’t have. She compliments his intelligence and handsome looks; above all they are alike about so many things [afinar]. He agrees with her (natch). A man always realizes these things. Tere tells him she always felt a special “something” between them--oh, but they shouldn’t have done what they did because he’s her best friend’s fiancé! Feigning remorse, Tere turns away. He uses the opportunity to take a long, lustful look at her legs and thighs, hoping against hope that he can talk her into shedding that skimpy teddy-gown and let him enjoy what’s hidden underneath it.
Back at the vecindad, Johnny’s sweeping out front and has a chat with Cutberto about Juana having lied to him. She never told him she couldn't have children, blah, blah, blah. Buttberto learns from Johnny that she’s going down to Cuernevaca and assumes it’s to sleep with Dr. Big-Belly.?? (Yawn.) Johnny defends her and clarifies it’s with his sister and nephew to visit Aurora, who’s staying down there right now. FF>>
Back at the manse, Teresa now starts angling to have Fernando 'fess up about the way they feel towards their respective significant others. She’s mortified. Nando tells her it’s not the end of the world. For her it will be, she whines, because Art’s been so suspicious of her and after last night how can she face him? He’ll be right to think she’s been unfaithful and that she didn’t love him. If nothing happened last night it was only because there wasn’t enough time. He’ll think she’s the worst example of the female species. Nando hugs her tightly. She allows herself a self-satisfied grin. Things are going exactly as planned! He’s such a soft touch!
Now Johnny’s sweeping inside the vecindad. Arturo, literally drunk out of his mind, stumbles into the gated plaza and babbles about Teresa,.
Johnny grabs him and takes him, with Armando’s help, up to the Chavez’s apartment.
Back at the manse, Teresa's still flitting around in her sensual silky nightie. The Garbo act continues; she races away in a melodramatic twinge of conscience. “—Don’t touch me again, Fernando. Do you want to drive me crazy?” She sits back down. He puts a hand on her knee and says they’ve got to chill a bit and think things through. Heck, not to minimize things, but it was only a kiss, he reasons. She draws dangerously close--kissing close--to him again. For him, maybe, she says breathlessly, but for her...time stood still and nothing else in the world mattered! She pulls back from him again and pouts. The only thing left for them to do is to face the others and tell them the truth! He frowns.
Fernando looks like he is almost convinced. Then his cell rings. It’s Luisa. He’s a bit distant and robotic with his answers. He blames it on still being half asleep. All the while, Tere’s motioning for him to please tell Luisa the four of them need to have a talk. He ignores her pleas and finally hangs up with a "Te amo." Tere gets a bit snitty, asking him why he didn’t tell Lu that they wanted to talk to her. The frustration is too much to handle. “—Because I couldn’t, Teresa! If I told Luisa it would mean the end of my engagement and of your marriage! Are you sure that’s what you want, Teresa? Well, is it??!!!” She looks him dead in the eyes as if she’s thinking “you coward”, but says nothing.

Back at the Chavez's, Armando and Johnny throw Art onto the couch to sleep it off. Refugio says this is proof that something was wrong at Teresa’s last night. She’s got to be mortified (dying of shame) over this. Armando says Art didn’t sleep at the apartment last night. He knows because nobody was in the apartment when he went there this morning.
Back at the manse, Fernando wants an answer! With her back to him Teresa allows herself a major eye-roll before whimpering about being just too confused. She still loves Arturo, she says. He looks away, wincing from the emotional stab in the gut (though it might as well be the genitals, too by now). She can’t stand the thought of being unfaithful to Art. He winces again but stands there and shakes it off. Teresa piles it on, saying she knows Fernando must feel the same about Luisa. (Damn! Any other guy would have been in tears, on their knees, and begging her, promising her the sun and the moon or gawd knows what by now!) Suddenly her phone rings. It’s her mother, but she lies and says it’s Art. She throws the phone back in her purse and says she also has cold feet when it comes to telling Arturo.
Refu is worried that she can’t reach Tere on her cell. Armando suggests in the meantime she could make strong black coffee for Art the moment he wakes up.
Later in the morning, Juana visits Hector at the hospital. He offers her chauffeur to take her to Cuernevaca along with Esperanza and Rodriguito. He wants Juana to talk Aurora into coming to the baptismal reception at the house in Mexico. FF>>
We beam back to Teresa’s bedroom for the rest of her and Nando’s little heart-to-heart. He admits that before he started dating Luisa he was a playboy. Tere says she knew and that’s why she didn’t want him dating Luisa. Fern tries putting the moves on her again with some mumbo-jumbo about the difficulty one has in distinguishing love from desire or affection. She says she’s not sure and stops him cold. Uh-ohh! She starts putting the moves on him then. Oh, never has she ever felt what she felt last night with anybody! When he looks at her, when he smiles at her, and then when he kissed her yesterday …when he kissed her it sent shivers up her spine. He shuts his eyes momentarily as he once more relives the initial, electric moment that passed between them. He then leans in for another kiss.
Teresa backs away again, purposely souring the mood by voicing her “doubts” and her “guilt” again. Nando tells her the same thing happened to him. He moves in close and compliments her beauty and her intelligence. She's always fascinated him. Teresa supposedly frets now, saying that she simply can’t look Art in the face again! Practical Nando suggests just not telling anyone and going on about their lives. (Works for me, Scout!) Well, she’s going to make the effort for Art’s sake, she says determinedly, as she looks into Fernando’s deep, dark (ever-hopeful) eyes and begins “absently” brushing a loose lock of hair off his forehead with her fingers. (Tell me that guy isn’t tingling from his...er....tummy to his tippy-toes right now.) “—But I will always, always wonder what it would be like to make love with you!” He angles for another lusting lip-lock, hoping for a 3-base hit and a slick slide into home to score, but again Teresa swerves away at the last second. (I’ve heard of believing in persistence paying off, but this is reeeediculous! Geeeez Louise! Damn it, Call a foul already Fernando, and take a cold shower!)
Teresa looks back at Fernando and inches close again. (Viewerville is mesmerized. Ice is melting on floors everywhere.) “—Although, I know it will never come to that, what happened between us last night will remain in my memory forever!” He’s says it is the same for him. She turns to face him again, moving within a hair's breadth of his lips. “—This is going to be our secret.” She touches her finger to her lips and then to his. He sits there, too stunned (or too pained) to move. She suddenly throws herself back onto the arm of her easy chair and dismisses him. “—Now leave me alone!” Fernando, gentleman that he is, fights the urge to play caveman and walks out the door with a sigh (and one hell of an unspoken groan).

Outside Teresa’s bedroom door, Fernando takes one melluvahelluva a deep breath as he starts back down the hallway and shakes his head in utter disbelief at the way this international all-star struck out and she pitched a perfect no-hitter. He makes it halfway down the stairs and fingers the heirloom keychain of Luisa’s. He thinks back to Cancun to the time she finally agreed to take a chance with him and winces again but with a different emotion. Guilt overpowers his lust and he looks like he wants the earth to swallow him whole. Inside her room, Teresa does a mental victory dance and hugs herself. It was a major play—the biggest yet--and she pulled it off!
Back at the Chavez’s, Art finally wakes from his drunken stupor and Armando gives him hell for staying out all night and coming home drunk as a skunk for the entire vecindad to see. Refu brings him black coffee and wonders about Teresa. Art asks where Teresa is and her parents stare at each other with warning glances, suspecting the worst and hoping for the best.
In Curenavaca that morning, Odiosa Oriana and Lu have accepted Aurora’s invitation to see the gardens at her home for a possible reception for Luisa’s wedding. Luisa finds out that Aurora has broken her engagement and Odiana is surprised to learn that Aurora and Tere are very good friends. Aurora qualifies that descriptor by saying that when they were in prep-school together they were very good friends. Odiosa sniffs in disbelief.
Armando scolds Art for his behavior. Never in her life did Teresa ever see him come back home drunk out of his mind like this! Art agrees he was wrong to have acted this way. Armando wants to know why he would do such a thing. Art says things will be explained later, but the important thing is to find Teresa. Refu panics and seconds that. Perhaps with Aurora, asks Art? Refu says no, she went there yesterday. Who knows?
In Aurora’s backyard, Odiana badmouths to Aurora about Teresa’s numerous faults. La Odiosa never trusted her from the first day they met; it was not only her strange opinions about various things, but the fact that Teresa, a married woman, visited her son-her husband’s BFF--alone at his apartment numerous times! Aurora’s antennae shoot up. “--Oh, yes, she’s come from nothing and ambitiously acquires more and more. She does nothing that doesn’t suit her needs and all she does is calculated beforehand!”
Tere, meanwhile, is dressed to the nines in a clingy, one-shouldered, seagreen number and thinking to herself that this manse is her castle. It’s where she belongs and she wants it all back! She picks up the Arturo bear and hugs it. “—Wake up, Artie. I don’t want to hurt either Luisa or you.”
Odiosa continues her diatribe: She fooled Luisa with her winning smile, but she couldn’t fool her! Aurora wonders how Oriana could have recognized that from Teresa with one glance. La Odiosa explains it comes with years of experience observing the numbers of attractive, ambitious women who were drawn to her dead husband.
Art, disheveled and still stinking like a distillery, visits Pati at the hospital looking for either Teresa or Mariano. Teresa came and went; Mariano’s in some operation or other.
Back at the vecindad, Ramon and Buttberto discuss Juana’s never telling him that she can’t have children. Ramon suggests if children are that important, the two of them could always adopt. Buttberto grins as one of the few light bulbs in his dimwit brain switches on. FF>>
Back at Casota Barrera, Nando’s in a woeful daze when Reina opens the front door and Arturo appears. Art explains the fight and says he’s desperate to find Teresa. Fern says not to worry, he knows all about it and she spent the night at the manse, safe and sound. Art gives his BFF a bearhug of thanks. “—Bro, she’s my whole life! Thanks for looking out for her, man. I couldn’t bear to lose her!” Afterwards, Fernando reads the riot act to him. He has no idea what his stupid jealousy has caused. When and where is it going to end? Art agrees he acted badly, but he knows this isn’t like him. Well, if you keep it up, yells Fern, you’re going to lose her! Art agrees. Then talk to her and patch things up!! Art rationalizes, saying he never knew he could love someone so desperately; that if he loses her he’ll die! Tere listens from the balcony loft and smiles triumphantly. She walks down the stairs and Fernando says he’s leaving them alone to talk things out.
“—Teresa, my love!” “—Don’t start that! Lies! If you truly loved me you wouldn’t doubt me! Haven’t I shown you I loved you for richer for poorer? We’ll agree that it wasn’t enough for you! No, the best thing is for us to get a separation!” (Duhn-duhn-duhn-duhhhhnnnnn! Team Teresa breathes a sight of relief. About time! Spousal abuse and attempted rape, especially by a drunk as a skunk, raging and rampaging husband, on a scale of 1-10 rates approximately a minus 10 to the umpteenth power!) Art is definitively sobered-up-impactado once he hears the S-word from her lips!
Aurora calls Daddy for her daily check-in and mentions she’s decided to study her specialty abroad. He’ll have Juana to keep him company, tho’. He mentions she’s coming there that afternoon with Espe and Roddy. Lovely! Immediately after hanging up she gets a call from Teresa. Tere’s got it on speaker for Art’s benefit. Though Aurora’s short with her, the discussion proves her side of the facts that she went to visit Aurora to discuss the break up but that they really didn’t talk because Aurora really didn’t want to speak to anybody; and since Mariano was there to see Aurora, Tere left to let Aurora and Mar chat and clear the air. By the way, what time did I show up there? Oh, around 4:30 pm. Oh, ok. Thanks! Click! After hearing that, Art mentally shrinks from 6’2 to 2’ 6. Not enough proof for you, Artie-Boy? Teresa says she’ll go to Cuernevaca with him to check her story with the taxi driver. No, not necessary, he says.
Meanwhile, Nando’s jogging away his hard-on, but the guilt he feels isn’t about to dissipate. He looks again at Luisa’s keychain and grimaces. Out comes the cell and he makes a call to Luisa to tell her how much he really loves and needs her and to apologize for the cool reception she got from him that morning. Luisa totally understands, natch. Unfortunately the call does nothing for the major guilt trip he’s on cuz she immediately brings up how she didn’t want to trust him at first because of his reputation as a playboy. But, of course she knows now that her love is all he needs and he’ll never look at another woman again. Yes, of course, my love! See you! Kisses! (He may have reassured Lu, but he still feels like the dawg he is. Arf!)
Luisa returns to the table and tells the other two about the call. Mama Orca brags on what a good boy and future husband she raised. (Viewerville lets out a communal gag and eye-roll.) FF>>
Back to Tere and Art, who is totally--if only momentarily--repentant of his errant ways. Tere warns him that they have no future together if he can’t lose the crazy jealousy and stop his drinking. He dutifully agrees and says they need to see her parents now because they’re worried about her. She groans and asks him if he’s really taking her back there to stay now. No, he replies, they’re going to Fernando’s as planned.
Over at Elegant Acres, Genoveva tells Ruben that she doesn’t like the idea of Aida popping in unannounced like she normally does till there’s really a baby there. Rubigote doesn’t want Aida to know that he’s shtumping her mom’s BFF yet either, he says. Gen says the best thing then is to make their relationship public. El Bigote nearly swallows and chokes on his lip-fur! Not on your life! We’ll take things step by step.
Across town, Mariano tells Daria that he’s totally over the Teresa Effect and no longer cares for Aeeeeda, either. He misses the heck out of Aurora. Aurora, gets a cell phone with his phone number preprogrammed in it and a message from him to call him. She starts to but then decides against it. FF>>
Johnny drops by to let Mariano know about the commotion with Art that morning and that Refu is worried because Tere didn’t sleep at home the night before. Mariano tells Johnny to tell Refu to keep him informed, but it’s no longer his problem. He’s making a clean break and all his time and attention is now claimed by Aurora.
That afternoon, Juana and Espe make it to Aurora’s and Mar’s name comes up She’s determined not to start a relationship with him right now, tho’ she’s delighted by all the calls, e-mails, and flowers he’s been sending her. Espe suggests she doesn’t have to feel guilty now about Martin and, if she and Mariano agree on so much like they do, then why not get busy? FF>>
At the hospital Johnny leaves, and Buttberto shows up to ask Mariano about adopting children. Aeeeeda shows up just then and tells him it’s a bad idea cuz you never know the kid’s background, if he’s from healthy stock or not—Mariano shoots her down and says she’s heartless! Tons of kids need a good home! Buttberto takes the hint to leave and tells Mariano with friends like her who needs enemies. FF>>
Tere and Art (who aparrently still hasn’t seen the inside of a shower stall yet) stop back by the Chavez’s to show she’s just fine. She stayed at the Barrera casota she explains. Daddy tells her she’s to stay there with them next time her husband acts like a beast. Art is quick to apologize and promise it’ll never happen again. Tere feigns embarrassment and tells her papi that she and hubby have discussed it already. Refu warns Art that drinking is nothing to take lightly.
Back in Cuernevaca, Juana apologizes for telling Mariano where she was. Aurora tells her that it’s because Daddy’s so furious with him that she decided to hide out down there. She can’t blame her daddy, but at least Mar’s being a lot more attentive now….. FF>>
Mariano turns down a lunch date with Aeeeeda. She leaves but says she’s coming back tomorrow because she’s not giving up on getting back with him. Mar blows her off. (Man, it’s about darned time, too!)
Nightime at the Barrera casota. Fernando switches on a lamp, sits down on the same living room couch on which he and Tere twisted tongues and remembers those electrifying mouth-melds of hers and sighs.
At the same time, Teresa and Art arrive back at the bungalo in the barrio. Oh, how she wishes she could turn back time to the surprise note and outfit he left her on the bed! But, it won’t be easy. He agrees. He starts picking up their trashed apartment. She says they need to talk. He says fine, but not until he has a chance to get cleaned up. Tere says she was hoping that they could talk once they get over to Fern’s apartment. Art says sorry, but he lost his jacket and doesn’t remember where he left it. His keys to Nando’s place were in it, so they’ll have to spend one more night in the vecindad. He tells her he’s going to bathe and leaves. She waits till he’s gone and says she’s going to make him pay dearly for what he did to her. She answers her cell and it’s Fernando on the other end of the line and worried about what happened afterwards and if she’s ok. She’s curt and he assumes she can’t talk now. That’s about the size of it. Click! She throws the cell down and snickers at the way she’s got him panting for her. Suddenly she gets an idea.
Back at the hospital Mariano’s on his way home when Espe runs up to him worried about Rodrigo. He’s developed a high fever and refuses to eat. FF>>
Tere asks her daddy for some of the papers with Art’s signature on them. Armando worries about her working all hours like this. She says it’s the only way to dig her way back out of poverty. Army leaves to get the documents for her. Once he’s out the door Teresa tells herself she’s got to take precautions with [prevenirse] Arturo in case they have to divorce.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, Jardinera! Thank you very much!!
Fer's little comment about distinguishing between lust and love was interesting. He only lusts after Teresa. Once he gets what he wants (and I think he will), he'll dump her like a hot potato and go back to the much more 'appropriate' (for his class and standing in life, you see) Luisa.
I don't know why, but Teresa's/Boyer's voice was getting on my nerves this evening. I think she is at her sickest when she talks to the Teddy Bears.
Will Teresa really get her come comeuppance? Really?

Yes, excellent recap! Teresa was playing Fer masterfully. I do hope in the end she is left holding the bag, empty bag at that too. Unfortunately I think Fer and Luisa will become casualties along with Art.
So glad Mariano cut short Aida's screeching I don't think I could have listened to her carrying on like she usually does.
I am surprised that no kidnapping attempt has happened yet. At the rate they are moving little Paulo will be walking towards the kidnappers...not that I want to see the baby kidnapped but I do want to see how that will blow up in Geno's and Ruben's faces.

One of two things is likely to happen shortly:
-- Fernando will wake up after boinking Teresa and realize she's played him. I actually wonder whether she truly enjoys sex.
-- Luisa and/or Oriana will walk in on them.
Karmageddon, baby.
We're only a day or so away from the baby's baptism, but if little Rodrigo is ill, won't that be put off till later?

Super recap, thank you! I am guessing that by the finale Ter will be completely friendless. Aurora is onto her and it looks like Luisa will find out the hard way.
I agree about Fer feeling only lust towards Teresa, but she's been playing him like a fiddle the past week or so - would not be surprised if he makes the leap to complete obsession (or ["love"] infatuation). I don't know if Luisa's enough to drag him out of harm's way. Ay, ay, ay.

UA: I, for one, do not believe that Teresa enjoys having sexual relations. Her endorphin high comes from the 'game'.

I, SharkByte, do hereby volunteer to perform the necessary research to determine if indeed, Teresa truly enjoys sex.
On behalf of all mankind, I selflessly offer my tireless dedication to this matter for the advancement of scientific scholarship and the betterment of society.

Jardinera, my word amiga, your title (genius!) is simply the start of a completely awesome recap. You have way too many scathingly brilliant lines but some of my favorites:
"[Nando] shakes his head in utter disbelief at the way this international all-star struck out and she pitched a perfect no-hitter." That statement is a masterpiece. Nicely done!
"Buttberto grins as one of the few light bulbs in his dimwit brain switches on." Good Gawd what does Juana see in this loser?
"Team Teresa breathes a sight of relief." I'm not exactly on Team Teresa but after Art's drunken, abusive behavior I'm definitely not on his team either. That sort of behavior is not tolerable. (However, it made for a great scene.)
"Meanwhile, Nando’s jogging away his hard-on," Hee...you're killing me! By the way, kudos to the actor who can actually run, unlike most of the other telenovela stars.
A belated to thanks to all the Teresa recappers. As of tonight I finally caught up and thoroughly enjoyed everyone's wonderful recaps from the past couple of weeks. What a great group you folks are.
SharkByte, you really are a team player, volunteering to step up, do the research and take one for the team like that. Way to go Saint (cough cough) SharkByte.
"[Nando] shakes his head in utter disbelief at the way this international all-star struck out and she pitched a perfect no-hitter." That statement is a masterpiece. Nicely done!
"Buttberto grins as one of the few light bulbs in his dimwit brain switches on." Good Gawd what does Juana see in this loser?
"Team Teresa breathes a sight of relief." I'm not exactly on Team Teresa but after Art's drunken, abusive behavior I'm definitely not on his team either. That sort of behavior is not tolerable. (However, it made for a great scene.)

I knew Oriana had an experience with a Tiburoncita of her own (Lady Shark going after Fer's dad) for her to pick up on Teresa so easily.
Armando, Teresa's whole reason for living is to get out of the hood. Why in the world would she go back to your house for any reason if the marriage didn't work out with Arturo?
I don't think Aurora liked hearing that Tiburoncita has been circling around Fernando. That tidbit of information just might be what Mariano needs to push Aurora over to him for good.

Jardinera, that was a masterpiece!
memorable moments:
You're the winner of best use a alliteration in a TN recap...Fernando is "week-kneed, ex-knoodling, knight in shining armor"
Best use of metaphor "Like a moth to the flame"
and explainer of Mexican idioms, "ni hablar" . (Had no idea what that meant until you explained it.
In this cultural and in the story line context, probably Art is not really considered at fault here. (In the US abuse and drunkeness are never OK)
Art wasn't drinking when he met Teresa, his only meantioned history of alcoholism was when PetPal left him at the alter years ago, his next episode was when Mar tried to interrupt Tere's wedding because she promised to leave with him.
Art was unfaithful with PetPal only because he was drunk, and now he's again drinking because he thinks Tere is unfaithful with Mar-he senses all is not well in is marriage-it isn't, she is playing him all the way, the writers are implicating Tere in this.
She is a one-woman social demolition team. Lives fall apart around her. I wonder what she'll do if Mar and Aurora get together. I can't believe she'll not react to that.

Chren: But you have revealed one of the endings. This is one of the main rules of this blog site. We are fine with speculation. We can all speculate as much as we want. But if you actually know something because you have watched or read ahead, you absolutely cannot post it. No spoliers. If you can erase your earlier comment, it would be great. Otherwise we'll have to hope Jardinera can come back in time to erase it before others can read it.
Vivi, I didn't even notice. Funny how one's brain can sometimes correct those little typos.
Anon27, I also did a little sit-up-and-take-notice when Oriana mentioned her prior tiburoncita experience. Sounds like Teresa is hitting a bit too close at home for her. That and the fact the Oriana is a horrendous snob and Tere is about as subtle as a freight train.

On to the recap. Jardinera, even though I am not a baseball fan, I loved your hilarious descriptions of Teresa playing Fer. I can’t believe this grown man is letting his hormones ruin his relationship with his best friend and his fiancé. I know in real life people cheat all the time and put all of these things at risk. I guess I don’t understand it in fiction or in real life. If he really doesn’t want to start a life with Luisa, then he should end things with her. I can actually more easily understand a betrayal of Luisa, than I can a betrayal of his best friend—the man who is like his brother. There are no second chances there.
I’m becoming more certain that Mar and Aurora will end up together. For a while there I wasn’t sure. But the way he is resisting running to Teresa’s side at the sign of the least trouble, his persistence with Aurora, and the way she melts every time she receives a gift or note from him, shows me it won’t be long. It’s actually a good thing that she has this time to think and he is forced to chase after her. I was actually really annoyed at Johnny for going to Mariano with the gossip about Teresa and Art, expecting Mar to go intervene. What the heck was that about? Why would any of them want Mar to jump back into Teresa’s mess?
I wonder how the baby being sick will affect the kidnapping plan?
Last week, when Teresa found out from Armando that Art trusts him so much that he signs the documents he brings without even reading them, I knew Teresa was going to use that to her advantage. There are only two things I can think of that she would have him sign: 1) Paperwork for Luna Turquesa selling his shares; or 2) Something that gives her a huge share of his assets if they divorce.

Juana does the same thing. There was absolutely no need for Teresa to know that
a) Aurora was in Cuernavaca (if Aurora had wanted Tere to know, she would have told her)
b)Mariano went to Cuernavaca to chase after Aurora (Teresa is married to ARTURO. What MARIANO does and who he does it with should be none of Teresa's concern)
The whole vecindad crew keeps telling Teresa all of Mariano's business and Mariano all of Teresa's business, all the while CLUCK CLUCK CLUCKING that Teresa keeps sniffing around Mariano or Mariano is still hung up on Teresa.
Good for Mariano for giving the kanyeshrug to Johnny when Johnny rantolddat about Arturo being drunk to Mariano.

Jardinera, wonderful recap....I especially liked, "Oriana,if you could see me now." Yes, that was a perfect caption for her expression. Teresa wants the money, she isn't going after someone like Cutberto, but in the foremost part of brain, she is joyous to give it back to Oriana. As far as I'm concerned, the kiss was enough to "traicionar" Luisa and Arturo. Physically and emotionally both Fernando and Teresa have crossed a terrible line.
Emarie, interesting explanation on Arturo's drunken binge. You know, he didn't seem horrified at what he had done, he just started picking up the apartment and went to get a shower. I thought he would be at least ask for forgiveness. I don't think that a blame game would fly at a US AA meeting!
Vivi, YES!, I think we can see a little glimmer of hope for Mariano and Aurora. At this point I am proudest of Mariano, he gets my award for the most improved person. He seems to have killed the Teresa demons and he is doing a fabulous job at the hospital and clinic.....finally.
"The whole vecindad crew keeps telling Teresa all of Mariano's business and Mariano all of Teresa's business" Anon207, I agree, their "cluck, cluck,clucking" is getting on my last nerve.

I think it's difficult for most of us gals to understand how a surge of testosterone fuddles the decision-making capabilities. I'm guessing it's like being on a diet and left in a room full of cupcakes. With no one watching. Maybe just one...

P.S. In Spain, "ni hablar" means something like "don't even think it" or "bite your tongue." Usage may be different elsewhere.

Susanita, I think you called it.
Sharkbyte, you do not disappoint.
Recording begins as Sharkbyte opens brown envelope of head shots
Good afternoon, Sharkbyte. Reliable sources have been reporting unscrupulous seductions taking place in various areas of Mexico City and Cuernavaca. It is suspected that the perpetrator is one Teresa Chavez de la Barrera, a licensed attorney who is more prone to seduction than litigation to increase her assets. She has thus far left a number of prominent male citizens devastated in her wake, emotionally and/or financially, including her own husband, one-time prominent attorney Arturo de la Barrera, who is now falling into alcoholism in addition to massive debt. Her current target is her husband's best friend, Fernando Linares. Persons close to the situation are concerned that she is looking to end his engagement to Sr Barrera's sister, Luisa, and bleed him dry in the process, as well as the possibility of selling him inferior goods. Your mission -- if you choose to accept it -- is to seduce Teresa Chavez to prevent this situation and possibly expose her fraud as a hot number.
As always if you or any of your IM force are caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
This recording will delete itself in three seconds. Suerte, Sharkbyte, y cuidado.
Emarie, I must disagree about Paloma. She was pathetic and far too needy to have had the strength and credibility to save Arturo from Teresa. I am actually wondering whether it will be Refugio who will save him in the end. I think her disapproval of the marriage was just as much about her knowledge of Teresa's greed as her fear of wealthy people.

ViviDC/Capn Sylvia: Thanks for covering the site like that!! People generally have been so good about no spoilers!! Sorry, but I raced off for a business meeting early and of course it lasted twice as long so I just got back a few minutes ago. : > }
=================
I did this from streaming on Youtube so if I missed something I apologize. I've switched the ni hablar accordingly. Hope it makes sense with the dictionary definitions I could find. : > )
===========
In general this was one of the best episodio's, just like the kitchen brawl was the other night. Kudos to Daniel Arenas for the way he played "being played" in this episodio. It was easier for me to catch some of those close up expressions and body language on the littler screen this time. They were subtle and made it soooo much fun to watch the second and third time around. I was giggling cuz here's this reputed international playboy (an unstoppable force) making a play for the biggest teaser/femm fatale in all of D.C. (an immovable object). What a battle of wills! LOL!

UA, that is too funny. I think we could all write and act in a TN of our own. Of course no one would want to be the Good Girl.
Jardinera, that definition for "ni hablar" seems right. My idiomatic knowledge is very "continental" (and probably out of date) so I'm never completely sure -- I just know what *I* say. ;}

Absolute nutty day at the office, but had to take a couple minutes to breath, swallow my sandwich and check in.
Recap was your usual outstanding work jardnera! I so needed reading your wonderful comments too.
Sharkbyte, your continued "one for the team" amazes. May you have success in your endeavor - I'm sure you will "test" in every way possible before coming to any conclusions.
Mariano had me a tad worried there last night, but he's holding firm. Please get Aeeddaaa hooked up with someone else fast and just make her go away. It's like she gets thrown into scenes lately to screech. Plot point or no show - should be a rule!!
Fernando - thy name means "daring or adventurous". Yeah, you've been dared and boy are you ever going to go on am adventure. Poor sap.
back to the crazy...

Jardinera, I agree, Fernando's expressions were spot-on last night. Great performance.
Anon207, great point about how the vecindad crew is constantly making sure Teresa and Mariano can't forget about each other ever, simultaneously telling them to stay away from each other and insisting that they're still in love.
One great side benefit of Mariano's finally realizing that he's in love with Aurora is that his reactions to Aida's crap have become more satisfying and hilarious.

Loved the snark filled recap Jardinera. Fernando doesn't strike me as the type who will wait like Arturo did. Teresa keeps teasing him and flaunting herself in front of him he will want something in return. She says she doesn't want to hurt Luisa and Arturo but she already has. I'm not on Team Teresa after this. Even though Arturo was wrong and he knows it, I want him to stop drinking and get his life together. Right now Teresa is looking like the wronged party when he makes a fool out of himself.
I think Oriana will definitely give Teresa a run for her money when she finds out. I'm looking forward to the fireworks. I hated how Luisa is so happy not knowing that Fernando has already betrayed her. However, he was going to dump her before his mother forced a engagement between them.
I think I will need some Pepto Bismol to get through these next weeks. The Teresa/ Fernando scenes make me ill. Yuck.

Aeeda might be the most tone deaf person ever.....why would you criticize, in front of a pediatrician with a clinic in the vecindad, children who are up for adoption? Hasn't Mariano dedicated his life's work to children? Yes Julia, Mariano's reaction was priceless and very "satisfying."
Jardinera, your recap rocked. Loved the baseball metaphors.
If Ter does finagle her way into marriage with Fer, I do hope her first wedding gift is Odiano making him penniless right after they say "I do."
I think when Art stopped manhandling Teresa he said something like "What am I doing?" in a sad tone. That was remorse, though I'm not saying it's enough.
So Art lost his jacket with Nando's keys inside. Wonder if and with whom this will turn up.
Luisa needs to find out about Ter and Fer whether they do the deed or not. Fer doesn't deserve her. I really want to see Luisa kick him to the curb.

Paging Jarocha; we need a reality check here. What is the general attitude about adoption in Mexico and at what rate do Mexicans adopt?
Thanks for your recap Jardinera. It was one of your best and the title too.
Like others, ITA that Mariano and Aurora look promising. I was so happy Mar didn't jump into the fray when Johnny told him about Ter. Yes, Anon207, the community tries to push Mar & Ter together with gossip and more gossip.
The Ter/Fer thing depresses me so I'll let others talk more about it.
Even though Oriana does have a history with women like Ter, I still have trouble buying her meanness as it appears to be only directed at women. Yes, she made comments about Ruben but she seems driven to stop women like Ter.
I too must commend all the recappers as last week was like a black hole for me. Your recaps have been great as well as the comments.
Sandy - last week, I loved your comment about how the "good" people in this TN do things that are not good. Trust me it's not a factor of age as I feel the same way you do.
Can someone stop Aida? I thought she had given up on Mar but she was back again. Please make her go away. ITA, Julia it's great to see the new Mar blow her off (yay!).

Niecie - ITA Fer doesn't deserve Luisa. Though others have mentioned this, its better this happens before the wedding so Luisa wouldn't stick by his side and be tormented by his "stepping out." I just wish he "manned up" and broke it off with Luisa before he proposed.
I'm leaning toward once a playboy always a playboy. If it wasn't Ter it would be someone else. Do others feel this way? Unfortunately in this TN, it's Ter.

Great recap Jardinera. I agree with you on enjoying seeing the player being played by sharkita.
I think Teresa enjoys sex, mostly because she was the one who decided to "do it" with Mariano and then later on she told Esperanza when she hadn't had any feelings yet for Arturo that she at least enjoyed their time together (meaning sexy time). Of course Sharkbyte can still go investigate.
About "Ni Hablar", the usage depends in the context. This time it meant something like "this is not worth talking about anymore".
Urban: Adoption is not an issue, it is normal and every person can have their own opinions on it. Couples can adopt, singles can adopt and not same sex couples can adopt too. It is believed that males have a desire to have their own children so their last name continues but that's becoming an outdated belief mostly kept in either very rich households or in poor people from provincia.

Fernando is a turd; the worst kind of player there is - the kind that betrays his brother - and all for sex with a hot girl. You can't bring your wife or girlfriend around a guy like him. When it comes to his physical desires, he has no boundaries; all women are fair game.
On the other hand, Teresa is super-hot, but uses her hotness to seduce whoever she wants, whenever she wants, for material gain. Aida once called her "una zorra" (slut). Oriana calls her an arribista. Teresa is proving them right.
Congratulations UA, you are the Broheim of the day! You're officially cool for the rest of the day. Of course, tomorrow you go back to being a silly chica.
...your mission -- if you choose to accept it -- is to seduce Teresa Chavez...
WoooWEEE!!! YESS!! Er...ahem, I mean, though it pains me, I accept this mission - but only because I care about others.
...the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions...
I'm used to that; I get disavowed all the time. I think the Caray crowd disavows all knowledge of me several times a week.

But SharkByte, be careful. Men have been proved powerless to her charms. You'll either end up with a bottle or an Aída if your not careful, so hide the Chardonnay and look for an Aurora as an antitoxine.

Vivi,
For once I am very glad I started to read today's recap and comments late. Thank you for getting rid of that comment with the ending spoiler! I wave of relief washed over me! I do not want to know what happens ahead of time, and I would have been very angry had I read that comment with the spoiler.

I agree with Diann, I'm really glad Cap'n Sharkbait deleted the spoiler comment; I would have been extremely disappointed if I had seen it.
Caray is one of the few, if not the only, spoiler-free resources around.

I'm also disappointed by the spoiler reveals. One of my favorite things about this site is seeing the surprised reactions to the twist and turns the stories take. I also enjoy comparing how the posters can guess whats gonna happen, sometimes you are so much better than me at this and I'm in wonder that you can predict things I never saw coming when I first watched.
