Teresa Mon 9/26/11 #146 From Perp Walk to Jailhouse Squawk As Teresa Repays The Favor
Viewerville races to take their seats in front of the screen once more as this fishtale starts to wind down towards its inevitable fin. (Sob.) Esperanza is holding her own pretty well against Ruben, having stood firm against going with him anywhere until he hands over Rodrigo like he’s promised. [Skin crawl alert!] She even lets The Fur Lipped One plant a major liplock on her, leading him on this time, by making him believe that she’ll abandon everything and everyone to be with him once he brings back her son to her. (At least, Viewerville is certain that’s the plan.) Mama, Papagote, and Rodriguitote makes three. Togther they’ll all be one big happy family, Rube croons to “the love of his life”.
Across town, at Casota de La Sra. de la Barrera, aka La Tiburoncita Esa, Teresa is clutching Arturo Bear and looking at herself determinedly in the mirror. She’s repeating her self-control mantra. She tells herself that she must maintain control over her feelings for Arturo so that Fernando never realizes how much she really loves the golden haired doofus de verdad. She’s dying to see him and to be with him!
Later that evening at the vecindad, Rufugio and Juana are in casatita Chavez discussing whether Teresa told them the truth or not about why she’s getting divorced. Ref is eager to speak with her SIL cuz she is certain Tere is pulling the same nonsense on him that she did on Mariano and for the same pathetic moneygrubbing reasons. Juana takes up for Tere and says there’s no reason for her to lie to them. If she says Fernando left Luisa because he fell in love with Tere but that she only sees him as a friend, then that’s the way it is. (Viewerville shares a major communal eye-roll here.)
Teresa is now in her slip and brushing her locks in front of her bedroom mirror when in walks Fernando without knocking. (I liked him better when he wasn’t so presumptuous.) Tere acts a bit surprised to see him back again. He couldn’t stay away, he tells her, because all he could think of was her and wanting to make her his. Nando walks her over to the bed, lays her down, and attempts to seduce her uhhhh-gainnnn. (Hey, I’m game!)
Back at casatita Chavez, Juana and Refu agree that if Art was still drinking hard and heavy, or running around with his sexratary, then of course she should divorce him. On the other hand, says Refu, she knows her daughter’s material girl M.O. and she wouldn’t put it past her. Juana promises to have a chat with both Teresa and Arturo to get both sides of the story, but in the meantime, Refu has got to stop worrying about it for the good of her health.
Back in the boudoire, Tere allows an appropriate amount of lip-locking before breaking away and sitting up on the bed. “--Nooooo!” She whimpers and whines to Nando that she can’t go back on her promise to her dearly departed daddy!! They aren’t married and she has still not gotten her divorce! She could never live with herself if she broke her promise to Papito! Besides, he’s barely in the ground! How could she think about a frolic with Fer so soon?? Fernanderthal, who’s gills are turning blue, is properly chastened by The Chaste One who says she wants there to be no reason for his mother or anyone to accuse her of loose behavior. He apologizes for his libidinous desires. She tells him that she has those same desires, but she has to remain strong for the both of them—or whatever. Fer promises not to pressure her any more. She hugs him appreciatively and simultaneously rolls her eyes at the wall behind his back. (Yes, it’s getting to be a pain, a real sacrifice, for her having to drag this out this way.) As for our Diamond Jim, he’s still biting at the bit and hot to trot, but he manages to contain himself and to race out of the room before he loses total control and ravages his damsel in dis-dress. Once he’s gone, Tere, fights back tears of revulsion. (Sorry. I must pause here and take a moment to finally put on my beanie. If Fernando weren’t a hunk like Daniel Arenas, I might be better able to appreciate Teresa’s supposed revulsion at the thought of any impending roll in the hay with the guy.)
At the same time, Refugio talks to the picture of Armando and cries at the little shrine on the living room floor (must be a cultural thing??), hoping that somehow from Heaven Armie could intervene and keep Tere from committing another sinfully self-serving materialistic act. (Viewerville must have missed the twinkle from on high signifying Armie got the message.) FF>>
At supper, Cutberto is again a gossiping fool. He mentions to Juana along the way that he thinks Teresa’s doing the right thing getting a divorce, because he witnessed with his own eyes that Arturo’s been living with another woman! Juana calls Art a hypocrite [mustio] between servings of salsa and frijoles. FF>>
Speaking of Art, he and Lucia are at a restaurant this evening to celebrate another good day at work. She mentions she knows Art’s still worried about Teresa. He says he can’t avoid it. Lucia tells him he can always be frank with her especially if there’s something he doesn’t want to do. “--The best thing for a relationship to work is to have trust in one another.” (I want to know who died and made her Dr. Laura?) He admits to wanting to be alone in his room. To cheer him up she suggests they just forget dinner and take home dessert to pig out --like they did when she used to sleep over [de pijamadas = sleepovers] at the house with Luisa. (Spare me! Not exactly the kind of sleepover poor ol’ Art needs or wants, I’m sure.)
Aida has a chat with Papagote about his working for Genoveva and the strange way she’s nearly obsessing over the new baby not turning out like Paulo did. They both agree it’s a bit creepy the way she even named the baby the same. Then Ruben’s quick to put distance between him and “Genoveva’s baby”. Aeeeda is suddenly sympathetic and asks if Papi’s gotten any word on “his” son yet. Rube feigns concern and rubs his furrowed brow—in between tragos.
The next morning, Espe tells Hernan she’s no longer going to continue with their therapy sessions and calms her concerned hubby down with a breakfast hour boff.
At the same time, Teresa stops in for an unexpected morning chat-’n-spat with the Mouthy One. Teresa smiles mischievously at Aeeeda and then asks why she felt the need to cause such a dust-up with Fernando about her at the club the other day? Because, says Aeeeda, he needs to know how she’s deceiving him!! Oh deception is it? Oh, like her daddy deceived her mother—and not only with Esperanza!! If she doesn’t believe her then ask her friend, says Teresa--the only and real reason Espe finally ended it with Aeeeeda’s diddling daddy was because she found him making love to Genoveva!! Daddy’s Little Girl Aeeeda is suck-it-in-while-I-get-this-straight-no-puede-ser-impactada from the overwhelming shock! Bulls eye!! Teresa turns imperiously on her high-priced stilleto’s and starts to walk out.
Back at the Ledesma’s, Espe sends Hernan, with his masculinity once again in tact, off to work and feeling now that no, the wifey really does love him; and no, Espe didn’t just marry him to give her kid a name. FF>>
Once again we beam back to Elite Estates and watch gleefully as Teresa smiles perversely at Aeeeda’s misery and confusion. Tere’s just come by to let her know something about her doting Daddy, and of course, to see her suffer some more. Why? Because Aeeeda refuses to stop bothering her!! Aeeeda having regained her speech, starts screaming that she doesn’t believe Tere, but this time we all know that it’s more like she doesn’t want to admit she does believe it! Aeeeda has had her doubts about Daddy (all thanks to Teresa de la Barrera Chavez) and she knows she has plenty of reason to. Why come by there like this??? Teresa says she warned her not to mess with her! Anyway, if she doesn’t believe her, well that’s her problem [alla tú]. Teresa struts out the door. Aeeeda is left fighting back her tears. (Remind me again why we should care?)
At Paradise Pads Highrise meanwhile, a couple of detectives come by looking for information about Fito. They show the apartment manager Fito’s picture and he tells them about the fight Mariano and Fito had. They head off to the hospital.
At the hospital, Juana stops by to speak to Aurora about her getting a surrogate mother so she and Buttberto can have mini-buttberties. (Gawd! Perish the thought! Call Pest Control!) We get a PSA on artificial insemination. Buttberto, meanwhile, has a secret breakfast meeting with Odious Oriana to ask her for another job. He feels honor-bound to tell her, though, that he’s married now to Teresa’s godmother. It would seem La Odiosa has just had a sudden attack of gastritis. FF>>
Fernando is back at the Casota for another love seat mack session with Teresa. He tells Tere that he wants to go with her when she and Art meet to discuss the divorce and sign the paperwork. (Get real!! Ever heard of a thing called privacy??) She insists that her godmother and/or her mother will be there with her. so he shouldn’t have to worry for her. Anyway, she doesn’t want the two of them fighting again. He jealously asks if it’s really because she’s worried about Arturo. She inisists that she’s worried about Fernando and not Art. It’s also because if they start fighting again, then Art might be so angry that he’ll refuse to give her the quickie divorce he’s agreed to. Fernando still insists on going with her. Tere tells him that what’s more important is that things go smoothly so she can get her divorce fast and they won’t have to wait so long to finally get married. (We’ll have to give Nando a buy cuz he’s currently only thinking with his lower brain. Blood is no longer making it past his lower extremeties.) A major mackin’ make-out session thus ensues and seems to pacifiy and satisfy. (Love the way this broad reels him in and gives him a little more slack, then tightens the line again. What a talent! Team Teresa salutes you, girl!)
Back at the hospital, Aurora and Mariano make plans to go on vacation together for a month. Aurora’s worried about making an enemy of Juana since she and Tere are no longer friends. FF>>
Oriana comes to the Casota expecting to find her son there. She finds only Teresa and after some well aimed barbs, threatens never to stop being a thorn in her side. Teresa rubs La Odiosa’s nose in the fact that this house is hers again. Her son has put the house in her name, or didn’t she know?
Back at TOHIMC (the only hospital in Mexico City), the homicide police arrive to arrest Mariano for Fito’s fatal (and less than spectacular) finish. Mariano’s protest falls on deaf ears cuz as these detectives know, that’s what they all say. Mariano is forced to do the perp walk while Aurora looks on.
Odiosa says Tere must be pretty proud of herself now. Of course, she has no idea what this house means to her husband, or the history behind it. She’s certain she did this only to hurt Arturo and Luisa. No, the house has many memories for Tere, too. La Odiosa Orgullosa sniffs at that remark. Oh and this is why you insist that here is where you’ll live supposedly with the man you’re going to marry and who bought it for you? No, says Teresa. The memories are of her humiliating Teresa there. She’ll be living there again, but this time as Fernando’s wife! “—We’ll see about that! Luisa may want to stay the heck away from you, but not me!" Odiosa promises her to forever be a thorn in her side! ~~~~~
=============================
Part 2.
Part 2.
Aurora wants to notify Ramon, but Mar refuses and says he’ll handle it himself from the police station. It’s obviously a mixup.
Odiosa tells Teresa that they’ll continue being enemies. Teresa says that’s her lookout cuz the more Oriana rejects her, the more distant Fernando will be towards his mother. Tere starts up the stairs and Oriana barks at her to get her son for her. Teresa looks over her shoulder at her and snarls back before strutting upstairs. “—Get him yourself!”
Aurora can’t get hold of Hector’s attorney because he’s on vacation. Juana finds her in the hall and Aurora fills her in on what’s just happened. She can’t think straight.
From the balcony of the Casota, Tere listens in as Reina informs Odiosa that Tere had her pack sonny boy’s belongings and sent him back to his apartment. No, he won’t be living there with Teresa after all. Wow! Tere smiles and then calls to leave Fernando a message that she’s going to see about the divorce papers and wants to have lunch with him—oh, and BTW, your mama stopped by looking for you. Cao! Just then a call comes in from an unknown number. It’s Juana calling from the nurse’s station at the hospital to tell her that Mariano’s been taken to jail!!! Duhn-duhn-duhnnnn!!!
Aeeeda meets Papagote for lunch at the club and demands to know what’s really going on between him and Genovenom. Sure they’ve been business partners, but what else, hmmmm????
Aurora hands over Dr. Magpie all of Mariano’s patient files. She thinks finally about who else to call for legal help.
Ruben tells Aeeeda that Gen and he were friends and have known eachother since they were a couple of kids. In the end she was the only one to hold his hand while he rotted away in jail. Before he can say more, Art walks up for Daddy’s business lunch but gets a call from Aurora telling him Mariano’s been accused of murder. Aeeeda races off to the jail despite Rubigote’s objections, to see about holding Mariano’s hand. Art excuses himself and follows her out. Things couldn’t have worked out better for Papgote. “—I hope you rot in that jail, you miserable bum!” (Now how did the cops think to look for clues at the highrise?)
At the police station, the uniforms take Mariano and put him behind bars. They tell him he’s the prime suspect and considered the guilty party until he can prove his innocence.
Back at the vecindad, Johnny complains about him and Pati being prisoners in their own home (well, in Juana’s it would appear) because of Fito. Well, says Pati, until they know he’s been nabbed, they’re safest there. Buttberto returns from his meeting with Odiosa and tells the two he’s got a regular job at one of her companies and will now be sure to be able to adopt a child. Juana walks in and overhears Buttberto say he doesn’t want Juana to find out he’s working for Oriana again.
Nando, meanwhile, gets a visit from one of his mother’s business associates who refuses, out of respect for his mother’s wishes, to do any further business with him until he reconciles with her. Duh-duhn-duhnnnn!!!
Juana complains to Buttsy about working for such a hateful woman and Teresa’s worst enemy! He won’t give up decent work, tho’ and Juana realizes there’s more urgent things to discuss: Fito’s turned up—DEAD! Yippeee!! They can all breathe easy now! Stop the celebrating, she tells them. There’s a big But: Mariano’s been accused of killing him and has been taken to jail! Oh-noes!!
Mariano goes to meet with his lawyer and who should appear? Arturo! “--You? What are you doing here?” “—Well, it might look strange, but I’m here voluntarily to help you.”
Juana warns everybody not to say a word to either Ramon or to Refugio about what’s happened to Mariano. FF>>
Arturo explains that he’s there and no longer hates Mariano because he helped him see the truth about Teresa. He refused to before thinking he was simply trying to win her back against her will. He’s paying back the favor of warning Luisa about what was going on with Fernando and Tere—if he will agree to let him represent him.
Out front in the waiting area, Aeeeda and Aurora finally arrive. Aurora is a jumble of nerves so Aeeeda asks the clerk if Mariano is still there or not.
Back in the cell area, Mar has accepted Art’s help. Art wants the truth: did he kill Fito or not? Mariano says of course not. He was a criminal and a drug dealer. He’s sure the guy had something to do with Paulo’s death. Mariano admits, though, when he began to threaten doing something to Aurora he lost it and beat him up. “—You only gave him a beating?” “—Yes. Only that, but I did tell him that if he ever touched Aurora I would kill him.” Art winces at that.
Out front in the waiting area again, Aeeeda relays to Aurora that Mariano’s there and speaking to an attorney right now. Just then Tere races in. Aeeeda and Aurora have a snitfit and ask what right she has to be there. (Uh, how about like she’s returning the favor and trying to save his life!) She says she’s there to help Mariano out. Arturo walks out and has heard Aurora’s question. He says it’s obvious that Teresa’s still in love with Mariano and surely has sneaked out behind Fernando’s back to help save “the love of her life.”
Fern is griping to Mama right now about Don Anselmo’s visit. “—How could you do that to your own son???” Oh, how nice he’s learning what it is to oppose his mama. That’s only the beginning, she warns him, if he continues with Teresa. “—Just what is Teresa doing, according to you?” Well, her strategy is clear now, says Oriana. He’s not sleeping with her, yet, is he? No, he explains, because she’s waiting till the divorce comes through so she can do things properly. “—PUH-LEESE!! When somebody truly loves another, nothing else matters! Never mind that. She’s manipulating you, this way.” He insists she doesn’t know all the facts. Mama says she knows enough. “--Think about it. Weigh what you’ll be gaining with what you’ve got to lose.” Could Mama actually be making headway?
Teresa admits that Mariano played a major role in her life at one time, and they have been friends since childhood. He’s in trouble and she’s there only to help because Juana asked her and she promised she would help him; but, she adds, she is also there for Aurora, to prove that she is still her friend. Aeeeda sniffs at that. “--You don’t have any friends! She’s got me to help!!” “—And just what do you think you could do? You never even graduated! You were too busy getting ready for your wedding with Paulo! You haven’t ever taken the Bar Exam and your stint with Papi wasn’t because you had talent, you were only working there because he was your daddy!” (Team Teresa is off the floor and on their couches, jumping up and down. You go girl!!) Viewerville again enjoys one of the few times that Aeeeda is speechless—even sweeter that it’s because of Teresa getting in her face and giving her what for and what to do with it!!
Teresa softens her tone and tells Aeeeda she can best help by sticking with Aurora because she’s not used to being in places like this. She will take care of Mariano’s defense. Art informs her that he’s already got him for his attorney. Tere’s surprised but he explains they’ve made nice-nice with each other. Aurora thanks them both and asks them both to try to free him. She knows he didn’t kill anybody and isn’t capable of such a thing! Art says, well the problem is that witnesses saw him fighting with Fito and then heard him threaten to kill him. On the other hand, Mariano’s already admitted all of that to the judge and the authorities found Mariano’s address in Fito’s clothes as well as Mariano’s blood. They’ll probably transfer him now to prison, he says.
Aurora starts to lose it. Teresa tells her gently but firmly that this isn’t the time to cry. They’ve got to keep their heads in order to help defend and free Mariano.
Meanwhile, back at the vecindad, Juana tells Refu that she owes Teresa an apology, because Buttsy himself saw Art carousing with his gal Friday.
Back in the jailhouse, Art and Tere start workiing together on Mariano’s defense. (Whoah!! Almost like old times, Sharkita lovers!) He admits to owing Mariano a favor for what he did for Luisa as the reason he’s there. He wants to know why Tere’s there. She starts to explain that it’s for Aurora and because Mariano’s always been there for her, but Art loses patience and wants something more definitive from her. “—I don’t understand you, Teresa!! You say you love me but you leave me for Fernando and then you run after Mariano helping him. I’m more disappointed by you each and every day! Here I am begging you not to get divorced, thinking there’s still something worthwhile between us to fight for, but the only thing you love is money—though that’s no longer my problem but Fernando’s.” Teresa starts to try to tell him something, but he refuses to hear it. “—No, let’s just get to work now on his defense.”
Teresa picks up the report from the file. “—They found Fito’s body day before yesterday in the drainage ditch?” Apparently so, says Art. It was wrapped up in black garbage bags. Teresa looks at the photos and suddenly realizes something is famiiar. “—Arturo!! I was right there! I recognize this place and those bags!” “—Do you know who did it?” Of course, she says! It was Genoveva and Ruben who threw him in there! I saw them!”

Truly a masterpiece! "Suck-it-in-while-I-get-this-straight-no-puede-ser-impactada" -- that says it all!

Let's examine the existing evidence:
-- Fito got rid of Esperanza's car. Don't know if there's an evidence trail there.
-- Fito still had Teresa's original engagement ring.
-- Rubigoatie got the medallion back from Fito, so the only obvious tie between them is Teresa's eyewitness testimony.
Of course, nobody knows yet what motive Rubigoatie and Genovenom had to kill this little creep.
Aida needs to wise up quickly about the baby Genovenom is trying to keep her away from. Mariano has to have an ironclad alibi for the time of Fito's death. Like being on duty at the hospital. Arturo should make him list everywhere he's been and everyone he's been seen by and talked to since the approximate TOD.
When that ring turns up Teresa's goose is cooked.
Fernando's possessive attitude is not leading anywhere good.

Really fun recap! I think I liked "La Odiosa Orgullosa" the best. Hands down best description of Godzilla-mom.

Jardinera, wonderful recap filled as usual with great fun. Some of my favorites:
"sexratary" Yep, that fits!
"The Chaste One" Teresa is one of the most "Chaste" Sharkitas around!
"I want to know who died and made her Dr. Laura?" Lucie is soooooo working it with Art!
La Odiosa Orgullosa I really, really like that moniker! ...... "pride goeth before a fall" and I want a front row seat for La OO's fall!!!!
"Now how did the cops think to look for clues at the highrise?" That goes under the category of "suspend disbelief" Ha!
I'd be OK if the novela ended today; Art and Mar working together after all that they have been through (self-inflicted of course) all these years, and then seeing our little Sharkita being honest, smart and working WITH Arturo to help Mariano...great suff! I do want little Rodrigo back, but all the rest isn't that important to me!! Ruben and Geno are toast anyway!

Didn't Jardinera say the cops found Mariano's address in Fito's clothes? (I admit I didn't catch that part.) Presumably that's why they went sniffing around the high-rise with the foto.

Thanks so much Jardinera. I just loved that ending! Teresa, Art, Aida, and Aurora all working together to get Mar out of jail, and Teresa making the connection to what she saw Geno and Ruben doing. It's all about to fall down around the gruesome twosome now. They will turn on each other for sure.
I enjoyed Teresa sparring with Ori and Aida, but also enjoyed Ori figuring out Teresa's game and how she is controlling Fernando. He looks like more of a schmuck each episode.
I gagged each time Juana defended Tere and tried to convince Ref that she is wrong about Teresa. How is this women so hoodwinked by Teresa when her own mother can see what's up?!
At least Espe got smart about showing, not just telling, Hernan that she is in to him. I would feel better about her stringing Ruben along if she had told someone else about it, like the cops and/or her husband.
Ooh, Fernando is going to be so mad when he sees Teresa working side by side with her husband to free her former lover. I'm laughing already just thinking about it.

Great episode. Great recap. Now we just need Luisa, Oriana, and Martin to join in on Mariano's defense.
Yeah, Mariano needs to come up with an alibi. Was he at the hospital? If not, I'm afraid he may have been at home in bed alone, since it was late in the evening. But Teresa saw Geno and Rube dump the body, and she followed them from Geno's house, so maybe she can get the police to look for evidence there. And Aida can join them and get a good look at the baby.
La Odiosa Orgullosa still confuses me. Why did they decide to give this supposedly snooty-snoot so-much-classier-than-thou dame such coarse manners? She was chewing and talking at the same time again. Gross.
Mariano should take advantage of his downtime in jail to wash the grease out of his hair. Surely someone would bring him some shampoo.

This episodio was really worth watching a second time, I must say.
Let's hope GPS is not an unknown quantitiy south of the border. Hopefully the authorities can reconstruct Gen and Tere's drives to and fro and the timeline from it.

Bravo Jardinera!
You blended all of the action packed events of last night together perfectly. I always relive the major events when I read your recap - you are always vivid, clever and on point! Also, "We’ll have to give Nando a buy cuz he’s currently only thinking with his lower brain. Blood is no longer making it past his lower extremeties" had me chuckling out loud. Wonderful!
I also was cheering Teresa on - Aida deserves everything she is getting! I have absolutely no sympathy for her!
Oriana is certainly fighting Teresa with everything in her arsenal. But, will it be enough? I can't see Fer backing down now, he's too obsessed with sleeping with Tere. After, well, that might be a different story.
I am really hoping that "Saving Dr. Mariano" might be the catalyst to bring Tere and Art together and somehow smooth some of the damage over. I don't know what else is going to happen but this unexpected plot twist has really peaked my curiosity!

Wonderful recap Jardinera. So Teresa witnessing Ruben and Geno getting rid of the body could help to free Mariano. Loved Teresa giving Aida a verbal smackdown. She is good at that. Maybe Arturo should have let Teresa talk instead of jumping to conclusions but oh well.
I'm really sick of Lucia. I hope she and Arturo don't end up together.
Fernando is acting scary with his jealous possessiveness. He's worse than Mariano and Arturo in that regard. In the previews, he makes a scene at the station and later Teresa sees Lucia and Arturo kissing. Ugh.

Glad you all had fun reading this! I was jumping for joy at the way the storyline was playing out. It is still a bit weak where Oriana is concerned. I am certain though, that Fernando, being Teresa's opposite number will give in to Mama and his Midas touch.
"Arturo should have let Teresa talk instead of jumping to conclusions."
What conclusions is Art jumping to? She did dump him for Fernando and his bucks. And she does still have feelings for Mariano. She has feelings for Art too. She thinks all the men who were once hers should always be hers. He's crystal clear from what I can tell. I like them working together. But it would not be a healthy relationship for either of them if he went back to her/asked her to come back to him. It would be just like the sick merry-go-round she had with Mariano for years.

Oh my stars, this was brilliant. So many zingers I couldn't possibly note them all. and they sure gave you a lot to work with last night.
Not a Little Terror fan, but have to say I loved the AAAeeeeddda thrown down. That girl was down for the count. I'm having a head scartching moment trying to figure out what the heck the writers will "do" with Aaaeeeddda. I know she's ready to get the rug pulled out from under her when the whole Rubigote reveal, but that's it? Just slip off to obscurity? Was sort of hoping for more...I know I'm being vengeful.
"Call Pest Control!" Loooovvvveeedddd this. I have visions of this little darling with a spunky attitude having to tell his doofus father how to do things. Spare that poor child and have the stork drop him somewhere else.
Fer is going to freak soon - I don't know how that boy is holding it in. I do agree that the Teresa eye-rolls are a bit much - I mean, look at the guy!! If it was Ruben, I'd say something. It's not that painful dear.

How did the cops find Fito's body? Did they just happen to find it or was a tip called in?
Doesn't Mariano think Ramon would be watching the news or listen to the radio and hear news of the young star doctor Mariano Sanchez Suarez getting arrested for homicide?

Thanks for the recap Jardinera. The writers have really set us up nicely for tonight. I want to see Genovenom and Rube turn on one another.
"I want to know who died and made her Dr. Laura?" That line really had me laughing out loud. That Lucia is such a giver...giving herself to Arturo, that is. Whenever I wear my skin tight low cut skimpy dress, I always make it a point to bend over so everyone can get a good look down my cleavage. Please writers, do not let Art fall for Lucia and her, oh, so caring ways.
I hope Tere tells why she was following Rubes and Geno. I think she'll have to involves Espe so Espe will have to spill the beans about the stolen baby and Rubes plan to run away with her. Too bad she never told Hernan herself though.
Every episode it seems Aeeeda calls Tere "La Raaata." Hope more revelations happen to make her shut that rude trap.
I'm for an Art/Tere happy ending but after much contrition. I assume it has to be one of the three possible endings.

Great recap Jardinera, loved your comments.
I don't know about sleeping with Fernando not being as a chore as Teresa makes it seem. I think Teresa is one of those girls who only bear the thought to sleep with the men they love. She will sleep with Fernando once she gets to that point but, just like it happened before with Arturo, she probably will hate even the thought of it until she has no choice. The bad thing is that I don't think falling in love again is possible. Fernando lacks the good qualities Teresa found attractive in Arturo and Mariano.

Jardinera, fabulous recap, I was hooting all through it. So, so many good lines!!
I have to say, I don't think Aurora, Aida, or Arturo were being unreasonable to be incredulous at Tere showing up. What, are they already supposed to believe her intentions are good now? After all the crap she's pulled?
And what's worse, she has a reputation for lying, will anyone believe her story about Rube and Roots? Especially when the items Urban described show up? You know the items will appear, TN rule #10, any object called to the viewers attention will be featured in a future episode as a part of the storyline.

Jardinera, what a fun recap. ITA with those who believ Ter has to have some sort of real, not just physical, admiration to be sexually interested in a man. And Fer is turning out to be quite a joke. Luisa, you dodged a bullet.
Loved when Aurora and Aida had to agree with Ter that she should be on Mar's case, not Aida. It'll be interesting to see how these three get on after the Mar case is over.

Who is the real Fernando?
The one who was nice & attentive to Luisa (before the end)?
Or this mean, gruff, semi abusive dude?

I'm agreeing with a comment from last week about Aida rolling the "rrrrata" more and more every time.
Not that she isn't rude for doing so, but she is right.
There are a few characters in this story who have what most of us define as "class":
Arturo
Aurora
Esperanza
Hector
Hernan
Luisa
Mariano
Martin
Mayra
There are a few with potential because they show no ill will toward others:
Cutberto
Johnny
Juana
Pati
Refugio
The rest have none and never will. As we see, it has nothing to do with money or social prominence. It's about treating others with respect.
BTW, add to the list of items Paulo's class schedule. I'm sure Fito kept that, too.

I really am an aurora hater, she thinks she is so righteous, i dont know why she made a face when she saw teresa there. Hello, whether you like it or not aurora, that was mariano's first love and teresa's and on top of that she is a lawyer, she shoudnt care where help is coming from, what matters is that mariano gets out of jail.
Teresa might be a bad girl but she has helped everyone find their way. If she didnt break it off with mariano, aurora would never have had the chance to be with him, because his eye were just for teresa. Also with pablo, aida would have never gotten engaged, because he was just like mariano, burning with love for my girl.
Somehow her exposing ruben helped mayra and esperanza, they now both have real love, they are no longer falling for his tricks, they see him for who he is, a loser, and i never understood why they drooled over him so much . she stopped luisa from becoming a nun ,and made her see that she can be beatiful in and out, she also stopped her from marrying fernando the pig, because he would have cheated on her eventually. she helped righteous aurora with her dear mom, she helped her dad get a good job and now she is helping mariano staying out of jail so teresa is not such a monster.
She has good qualities and intentions therefore i believe she can be redeemed for all the hurt that she also caused. well even if she doesn't, ser or no ser, she is. i love her!

Anon 5:58, like you, I hope for redemption for Teresa..... so that a bullied young woman deprived of a nurturing home can change her ways and show the world that a "Raaaaaaaata" de la vecindad can light the way for others from underprivileged homes and be a smart, strong story of success! The ball is in her court, Team Teresa expects our "quarterback" to throw toward the light soon, there are few days left!
UA, I would put Esperanza in the "potential" category. So far she has had a baby with a married man and is lying to her extremely understanding, savior husband about infomantion that needs to be shared. Today she used sex to divert Hernan's attention, she should fess up! Great list though.

Anon at 5:58: if you think Tere has done so many good things, why do you hope she is redeemed? What would she need to be redeemed from?
I don't hate her, and I'd like her to be redeemed-the TN is kind of pointless if she doesn't get redeemed in some way. I'd like Aida to be redeemed also.
BTW, Scarlett O in GWTW wasn't really redeemed in the end.

Emaire: I'd say it's like Aurora told her--her intentions at times are good, but it's the way she's carried them out that were bad. She's done some rotten things we all know, but she's also unknowingly been responsible for good outcomes--if nothing else, she's not a murderer. Also, she's been unnecessarily humiliated. In Tn rules that makes her elegible for redemption and not for death in the end. She may not end up with Art but maybe she'll have people's respect once again--and for the right reasons this time. Just sayin'. ; > )
what is an ITA AWARD and to emarie i did say that teresa has hurt her loved ones, she is no saint and those bad things led some people to discover what was really going on in their lives and also brought love in their lives and that is precisely why she needs a break.
