Teresa Thu 9/1/11 #129 Lots of slaps on the face, Fernando gets played some more
Complete recap is finally all finished!
Teresa is playing Fernando, saying how she thinks about how it would feel to be in his arms, but backs off and says that she thinks Professor Hottie suspects. Fernando is following her around and leaning in, drooling all over her like an idiot.
Professor Hottie walks in on their conversation and doesn't look like he suspects anything at all, but Fernando looks guilty. Fer talks business and Professor Hottie says he looks nervous. Fernando makes some excuse. Prof. Hottie thanks Fer for the use of the apartment. Fer asks him about how it's going with Mariano. Prof Hottie says much better and that it's so nice to not have the shadow of another man hanging over them. Fernando looks muy uncomfortable about that.
Aeeeeeda is bothering poor Mariano at work in the hospital. She tries to kiss him but he won't let her. She's just not getting it. He doesn't want to give her false hopes. She still wants to work around him and he sighs wearily.
Teresa visits Juana at home. Basically Teresa is all hot for Juana to marry Hector the Director, but Juana breaks the news that she loves Cutberto.
A pretty young woman is waiting at Professor Hottie's old house (where he still works). He uncertainly asks her what she's doing there. She coquettishly asks him if he doesn't remember the last night they spent together. He looks impactado.
Juana explains that she has been meaning to break up with Hector, but something always gets in the way. After some discussion, Teresa reminds Juana that her lovely relationship with Aurora will not be the same if Juana dumps Aurora's dad, Hector. Juana looks very sad at the thought of this.
Turns out coquettish girl is an old friend of Luisa and they haven't seen each other since they were like 9 and I guess the girl (Lucia) stayed at the family home. Hence "spending the night together." Professor Hottie looks relieved.
Mariano and Aeeeeeda talk for a little bit about Aeeeeeda's hermano, the ill baby of Esperanza. Apparently Aeeeeda is concerned about the kid.
There is this scene where Lucia (Luisa's friend) is helping Professor Hottie in the translation of a legal document. That's why she's there, to translate German. Professor Hottie and Lucia are poring over a document, their heads close together, as Teresa comes in and looks jealous and puts on an icy act. When she finds out the real story (German translator, friend of Luisa) she lightens up a bit but makes it clear that Lucia will be working with BOTH of them.
Rubigote and Geno are canoodling over their plot to steal Esperanza's kid. Complaining that Fito always wants more money. Kiss kiss. Then Mayra walks in and catches them! OH MY GOODNESS! I really didn't see that one coming!
Mayra rushes over to Geno and gives her two hard slaps and chews her out. Es el colmo (it's the limit) that she pretend to be her best friend while doing this! Then light dawns and she says, Now it's so clear why you were always visiting him in jail and asking me to pardon him! Mayra then goes on to say that it is Geno's betrayal that bothers her the most. Of course Geno and Rubigote try to make feeble excuses. Mayra says she went to Europe and got some nice goodies for Geno there, to thank her for all her help and support. And now she finds out this. As she is walking out she says, watch your money, don't trust this particular gentleman (meaning Rubigote). Geno is worried that Aeeeda will find out. Mayra says of course she'll tell her; she deserves to know the truth.
After Mayra is gone, Geno is worried and (I think) is telling Rubigote that if everyone knows that they (Geno and Rubigote) are a couple, then they'll suspect when the baby is kidnapped and Geno suddenly turns up with a baby.
A quick scene with Hernan the Galán, Refusio, and Esperanza. The baby is in a delicate way. Refusio has been praying for him. Esperanza is beside herself with worry and grief.
Professor Hottie is kinda thrilled that Teresa was obviously jealous of the German translator chick. Teresa denies it of course, but Professor Hottie has a smug look on his face. Teresa kisses him and says that she knows he only loves her.
Rubigote is doing damage control and is telling Aeeeeda that Mayra misconstrued a hug given to Geno (because she's so broken up about the death of Paulo) as something more. Aeeeda listens and looks thoughtful, like maybe she's not buying it.
Fernando is talking business with Professor Hottie and Teresa. I didn't get all of this. (The caffeine hasn't kicked in enough yet.) Something about an uncle taking over for his father, liquidizing a business? Sorry that I missed something here. Professor Hottie prepares to leave and gives Teresa a long sloppy kiss (which you know, is sort of tacky to do in front of anyone, even an old friend). Fernando looks away with his jaw all tight like he is totally jealous. (Idiot!)
Luisa is talking with Lucia and Lucia says she senses something is off with Teresa (or something?). Luisa explains about all the money troubles. Lucia makes some speculation about the pain that couples go through when they are separating. Luisa looks shocked at this. I think this is supposed to mean that Lucia senses that things are not normal between Teresa and Professor Hottie. (And that's an understatement!)
Professor Hottie has left the building. Fernando wastes no time and swoops in on Teresa and gives her his own sloppy smoochy kiss as the sharky guitar music plays. Teresa goes along with this for a while and then pulls away when he gets more ardent. She starts in with the whole story about we can't do this, think of Luisa, think of Professor Hottie, yadda yadda yadda. When Fernando says but do you want me, she says yes and just strings him along. He's actually kind of following her around, hovering, hoping to cop another feel. Sexual frustration, thy name is Fernando.
One of the things Teresa says to a panting and frustrated Fernando is that he is used to getting any woman he wants. Yes, she's got that right! When Fernando isn't looking, she's rolling her eyes like he's the biggest idiot that she's having to endure. But she tells him that she thinks she's falling in love with him. Oh boy, he looks a bit shell-shocked by that one.
Okay I think I missed something here. With the conversation between Luisa and Lucia, I think Lucia is talking about her own unhappy love life and how she's now single but determined to be happy. Or something.
More smooching between Fernando and Teresa. Teresa's rolling her eyes as Fernando smothers her neck with kisses. He says he's never felt this way before. She reminds him that he's on the verge of getting married, what about Professor Hottie, yadda yadda.
After more heavy breathing between Teresa and Fernando, she delivers what I think was the whole point all along—if Luna Turquesa goes for a good price (I think?) then she can start anew (meaning she can run off with him, right?).
Rubigote sees that accountant guy in a restaurant and confronts him in a big yelly scene. Accountant guy says it wasn't him who ratted out Rubigote and caused him to go to jail, it was Teresa. Rubigote is yelling "Teresa Teresa Teresa!" as he holds poor accountant guy by the collar and shakes him.
More with Teresa playing Fernando.
More with Rubigote yelling at the accountant. He still blames him and says he betrayed him.
Back and forth with Teresa and Fernando. They can't see each other. But if Luna Turquesa can get a good price . . . Fernando is in a position to do that.
She says that it's better if they not be alone anymore. Fernando looks absolutely devastated and is the epitome of sexual frustration.
There's a conversation between Teresa and Oriana (sp?) in Fernando's apartment (I think). I'm obviously missing something again. Teresa has a photo she took on her phone which shows that Oriana and Aeeeeda talking to each other, establishing that they are in cahoots, I guess. Then there's something about how Fernando has offered many times for her (and Professor Hottie?) to stay in his apartment. Still a bit confused by this. Oriana seems to understand what's going on and severely says that they have to talk.
Lucia is drawing swans in a sketchbook as Professor Hottie approaches. She says that she thinks that maybe it would be better if she not work for them (I think because she can tell Teresa is not totally okay with it) and she can recommend someone else. He says no way. It's hard to find someone (you work with) that you can trust. She smiles sweetly at this.
Weird sharky exchange between Teresa and Oriana. Teresa says she knows that Cutberto the chofer was the one who told her all the gossip that messed things up between her and Professor Hottie. Oriana says that she only told Professor Hottie the truth. Then I think Oriana makes some snipe about how Teresa will leave him for an otro hombre (another man) some day. Teresa slinks in for the kill. She says something about how she can get any man she wants, and she then says she can have Oriana's son (Fernando)! Oriana wastes no time and gives Teresa a resounding slap across the face. You're not going to mess with my son! Oriana proclaims.
Brief scene where Lucia says she's loyal, and that they are friends. She's happy to sign a confidentiality agreement and get to work. It'll be nice to work with the brother of her friend, Luisa. Smiles all around.
Teresa says to Oriana that if she will just accept Teresa that things will be okay and there won't be any trouble. Oriana says that she tried to help Professor Hottie financially, but his pride kept him from accepting. So she doesn't think that she can get him to accept it now(?). Again I apologize because I'm missing something. Then there is something about how Teresa says that Oriana won't accept Teresa only because she was born poor. Oriana corrects her and says no, it's because you're too ambitious. She then says (I think) that because she (Teresa) is smart and has a career, she could be successful, but she wanted the fast track, so she married money.
Teresa replies that she loves Professor Hottie, and then says, "You have no idea what I've been willing to do to help him!" Oooooh. I think the part she left out was, "You have no idea what I've been willing to do TO FERNANDO" (Or "with Fernando").
Lucia and Professor Hottie working together. I guess it's getting late. He asks her if she's tired. She says it's okay, now that she's signed the confidentiality agreement, she can take the paperwork home and work on it there. She says something about how she doesn't think that Teresa would like to see her having dinner there. Prof. Hottie says that they only work at the house, and that Luisa and Fernando live in it now.
Fernando comes in and Luisa makes small talk about the upcoming wedding with him and Luisa. Fernando looks less than thrilled.
Oriana isn't getting it and thinks that Teresa couldn't do much to help Professor Hottie. She thinks that Teresa would just run off with a richer man. Teresa makes some veiled comment about how that might happen (i.e. Fernando will be the richer man). Oriana doubts that Professor Hottie will recover from his financial upset quickly, but if he does, she doubts it'll be due to anything Teresa did. She then leaves by saying something about how if Teresa did leave him, she'd be doing him a favor, and that she'll stop being a threat (?) to Luisa and Fernando. I tried but I'm not getting this completely. Teresa has an angry, tight, determined look on her face, anyway.
Fernando is talking with Professor Hottie and he's saying he's thinking about what he wants to do with his inheritance. He wants to help Prof. Hottie and Teresa and get Luna Turquesa (I think). Professor Hottie thanks him, says he knows that Fernando wants to help, and says that his situation is not so critical that he's going to give up the only real valuable thing he has left. (I think his pride? Self-respect?)
Rubigote is telling Aeeeeda about his troubles with Teresa being behind him getting into trouble with the law.
Yes, I guess it was Professor Hottie's pride he was talking about. He says that if the time comes when he needs help, he'll let Fernando know. Luisa comes in and after Prof. Hottie leaves, she's talking about wedding plans. Fernando says whatever she decides is fine with him, but she says no, she needs him for this.
Aeeeeda is sufficiently angry at Teresa's involvement, and vows that they'll (her and Rubigote) will get revenge.
Teresa's rooting through her jewelry-laden Teddy Bear, apparently making sure she's set in case she's got to leave Professor Hottie. Professor Hottie arrives home at this time. He says that Fernando offered a good price on Luna Turquesa. She says take it! Oh, he's not so sure. She then ups the ante by saying that she's been thinking about it and she'd love to have his hijos. If they could start again, then it could happen. Kissy kiss.
Some brief conversation between Mariano and Cutberto. Both talking about their hopes to see the ladies in their lives and get things rolling.
Juana has a semi-argument with Hector the Director. He doesn't want that Mariano guy sniffing around his daughter. He'll never forget Teresa and he's just going to keep hurting Aurora. Juana sticks up for Mariano and says she thinks he's for real this time. Blah blah blah. Hector the Director gets adamant and animated in defense of his daughter. Juana is seeing both sides to things, but she doesn't want to fight with Hector the Director.
In the morning, Fernando comes over for breakfast and hears that Professor Hottie isn't, apparently, going to take his offer. (I think.)
Geno and Rubigote are ranting about how that darn Teresa is to blame for all their troubles. Aeeeeda comes in. She's got some plot where I think she's going to buy the shares(?) of Martin on Luna Turquesa, thus screwing things up for Teresa and Professor Hottie, leaving them with nothing.
END OF EPISODE! Sorry if I got things wrong, I know I did!
Labels: Teresa
What also shocked me was when Teresa suggested she and Arturo start a family. She seemed to be sincere but with Teresa, you never know.
Fernando is whipped and will do whatever Teresa says she he can get her in his bed ASAP.
I guess Mayra didn't tell Aida about catching Geno and Ruben in a compromising situation.
Tonight's show should be a doozy.
Agree, Pirate Babe; that was some slap not to mention the pulling of the hair. I'm rather surprised that Teresa did not yank La Odiosa's hair as well.
For me, there is no redemption coming for Aida. None. She has clearly and fully embraced her dark side.
For that scum Rubigote to blame his problems and evil deeds was laughable...absolutely laughable. He and Boots 'N Roots must live in some parallel universe where what they say always goes. They are scum...absolute scum.
I'm glad Mayra caught them. What a well deserved and well placed slap she gave Flash Back to the 80's Geno.
Even Hector the Director seems to have misplaced anger at Mariano. He fails to realise that his own daughter has played an important part in her own misery.
Here's my question: is anyone in this TN happy? They all seem to be slowly circling the drain.

C***teasing, especially by hot chicas like Teresa, is horrendous - or shall I say "whore-endous" - anyway it's really mean.
Therefore, on behalf of men everywhere, I hearby proclaim the practice of C***teasing to be forever banished throughout the known universe.
Super-Hot chicas caught engaging in this practice should be sent directly to the SharkByte Center for C***tease Rehabilitation, c/o SharkByte.
:^)
Blue Lass, yes she's just a tease. Like when mom would say, now honey, never be a tease. OK Mom, I won't, believe me. (Why do mothers give that bad advice?)
Elvira, I think you covered everything except that Rube told Aida about Tere being the one who betrayed him.
And I think Art is refusing to sell his shares to Fer.
And Yes, everyone seems miserable (except Aurora) in this story, especially Fernando, who is being teased to death. I'll bet she won't put out. Poor Luisa, he doesn't deserve her.
If it wasn't for these recaps I couldn't bear watching it right now, and yet, can't wait for tonight. It's like watching a train wreck!
At this stage of the game I believe Teresa is fighting FOR Arturo ( and herself ) but has got to have a Plan B in her pocket. Seems like her whole life has always had a Plan B stashed.
I believe she loves and wants Arturo at this point. She sure has been showing signs of enjoying Arturo's husbandly advances. Not to mention her face was green with envy when she saw Lucia and Arturo together. Her reaction was strangely different than her jealousy displayed with Mariano. Mariano has always been her possession and the jealousy displayed as such. She doesn't consider Arturo the same kind of possession and this display of jealousy seems to come more from within.
Plot points are moving fast now.

ORIANA: So now [Teresa] you are living here [in this Penthouse] through the love and charity of my son.
TERESA: Charity? Oh, please, you know Fernando is just being a friend to Arthur. And you better not say anything.
ORIANA: Do you mean to tell me what I should or should not do?
TERESA: Be careful, Oriana. I know you hired Crudberto Gonzalez to find out about me and put ideas in Arthur’s head.
ORIANA: No, not ideas, Teresa, I only told Arthur the truth.
TERESA: Well it was done badly. And I warn you to stop getting between my husband and me.
ORIANA: I said I'd prove you're a gold-digger/social climber, and I did. I do not understand how it is that Arthur is still at your side when clearly, you could leave him at any time for another.
TERESA: That’s right, ALL men would be with me. I can be with any man I want, and if I put my mind to it, I could be with your son Fernando.
SLAP!! SLAP!!
ORIANA: YOU WILL NOT GET MY SON!!
Post slap and hair-pulling:
Oriana says she noticed that Teresa threw certain “looks” toward Fernando; the same looks that women threw towards her late husband, so she knows the type. Teresa says Oriana is imagining things, but Oriana says to cut the melodrama.
Teresa says everything would be fine if Oriana would just accept her; her only crime is that she was born poor. Oriana says it’s that Teresa is too ambitious. She’s smart and could make it on her own, but chooses the quick way out of poverty – by marrying a man she doesn’t love.
Teresa says Oriana has no idea all the ways she supports Arturo, and he will quickly recover his fortune, thanks to her. Oriana says she doubts it will be fast, and doubts it will be thanks to Teresa, and sarcastically adds, she hopes Teresa will not abandon Arturo for another man with money.
Teresa says, be careful what you wish for, lady. Oriana says, “In your case, it wouldn’t surprise me if you abandoned Arturo. But the good thing is, very soon Luisa and Fernando will be married and as soon as that happens, they will move to Spain and you’ll stop being a threat to them.”
Sharkbyte - thanks for the Ter/Ori conversation. Also in light of your title yesterday. Would you call Aida's behavior w/Mar stalking?
Susanita - ITA regarding Reuben/Gen. They are frightening in their delusions. If he hadn't done anything, there would be nothing for Ter to expose. I can't wait to see them in jail (a guess) trying to continue their foolish delusions.
Aida really should be thanking Teresa for that little revelation. Instead she seems to have been snowed by Rubigote one more time.
The whole Luna Turquesa thing reads to me that if Aida buys Martin's shares she, Rubigote, and Genovenom will have the controlling interest in the company and could vote Arturo and Teresa off the board. Or outvote them at every decision. I doubt, however, that they would do anything to seriously endanger the value of their own shares.
I am not shocked by Mayra's discovery; this was long overdue. I am shocked that Mayra didn't immediately run to Aida to tell her of her discovery.
Teresa only fights for Teresa. Arturo has a bodacious bod and probably knows how to use every bit of it, but Teresa's endorphins are charged only by one thing: Dinero.
But I think you made a good point yesterday: if the attention is desired it's not considered stalking.
I don't think Mariano necessarily wants Aida hovering around him, but I also don't think that he feels threatened.
Although, he probably would be more concerned if he knew Aida's dark side the way Viewerville does.
Well. looks like Aurora helped bond Juan and Hector the Director together, and, perhaps, their differing opinions about Mar and Aurora as a couple, might give Juana an open door to back out of their relationship. Hector is meddling a bit too much into Aurora's love life though he's just trying to protect her from hurt. But Aurora is an adult.
This episode was so tense, as I was fearing Hot Prof or Luisa to walk in on a Fernando macking on Teresa. I expect Art's heart will be broken, eventually. for the last time but it will be painful to watch.

I see Aida as being manipulated by Ruben. If Aida had found out Aurora or Mariano told Amadeo to snitch she'd be upset but not as upset as she was with Teresa. And that's what Ruben was counting on. Still the coward, Ruben uses Aida to get back at Teresa (and also to get Aida's attention off of him/Genoveva).
Mayra would probably THANK Teresa for exposing Ruben the embezzler.
Elvira, loved your recap. I relived the episode with your writeup. Thanks so much.
Loving everyone's comments, too.

Pirate Babe, I actually think Teresa WAS sincere when she told Arturo she wanted to start a family. I think she always does things thinking about her own gain but sometimes her deceptions tend to mix up with real feelings.

In their conversation in the penthouse, Oriana also told Teresa that if she left Arturo, she'd be doing him a favor. I think that one hit home.
