La Que No Podía Amar #32 Wednesday 2/8/12 Love is in the air, but Ana Paula is The Woman Who Couldn't Smell It


NOTE: I am posting the recap for tonight's episode in advance, since by the time it will air on Univision, I will be sleeping, because of my +2 GMT time zone.


*Newbie Alexandra is back with hopefully another well-received recap. Once again, it's a long recap, so please bear with me.

So where were we? Ah yes!
Cinthia telling the two turtle doves that she won't marry David if Rogelio will break up with Ana Paula. Yeah, riiiight! Ana Paula and Roger look at each other. Ana Paula feels slightly embarrassed by the whole situation and Cinthia, who apparently doesn't understand body language, still insists, asking them what do they think of her unbeatable offer.


Rogelio: "Of course not!" Or in other words, "Not.gonna.happen.in.this.life.darling!"

Cinthia is surprised to see that he's not eager to part ways with Ana Paula. Of course, I understand why she rolls her eyes in disbelief. I mean, why wouldn't Rogelio divorce a beautiful, young woman, who somewhat cares about him and who makes fireworks explode in Rogelio's mind every time they make eye-contact.
Can we move on to more important things now?

Oh yeah, that's more like it!

Rogelio tells her that if she thinks that the best thing for her is to marry David, then she has his permission. Cinthia, still trying to recover from the hand kiss she just saw, can't believe that he actually lets her marry David so that Ana Paula can still be Ms. Montero. Now she asks Ana Paula what did she give him, to enter such a state, since she can't understand a damn thing. Whatever magic potion that was, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY, Ana Paula, I am so buying it.

Ana Paula's miracle potion - how to turn an ogre into Prince Charming in just 3 days.



Before















After











The crying and whining sis leaves and Ana Paula tells Rogelio that she feels bad for this situation, since she doesn't want him to get into trouble with his sister because of her.


The only trouble that Rogelio has is making Ana Paula fall in
love with him. Y U no love him??

"If you want to renegotiate the contract or if you want me to be only your nurse. No way, Jose, says Roger. "Tell me, are you that fed up with me?" "Of course not, I didn't say it because of that! But your sister believes I married you to steal her part of the heritage." "Don't worry because of Cinthia". I don't know, but anyway, there are so many things I don't like, which aren't alright."

"Like what?" says Roger, visibly annoyed by her remark, since he tried his best to please her. Maybe she just doesn't like that their lips don't get sealed more often.
"Like what? Like your mood changes, for example!" Well, Ana Paula, it's called imperfection. "You've been acting so seriously since we returned from the lagoons."


Oh Ana Paula, if you could only read my puppy eyes!

"See how something is happening with you? Anyway, I want to thank you for the effort you put into making me feel well" Thank goodness I don't have the show on mute, otherwise judging by her expression, I would think that she is verbally punishing him. Somehow the expression doesn't match her words.
"Oh for God's sake, the trip didn't turn out as expected. Your fall, Margaro's disappearance."
Hey, at least all this was compensated by the semi-undressing of Hottie Huguito Pechito (Chesty). Not to mention the satisfaction of my wet men fetish.

Ana Paula says: "Well, despite everything what happened, I had a better time than expected!"
Ana Paula thinks: "Well, there were a few inconveniences here and there, but that kiss brought 10 points for Gryffindor.

Rogelio still seems disappointed with himself, so Ana Paula sits down on his bed and takes his hand.
Ana Paula says: "I don't know how our marriage is going to end, but at least I hope we'll end up being good friends."
Ana Paula thinks: "I hope our marriage will last forever and I hope we'll do some awesome things while "Sexual Healing" will play in the background.
Rogelio finally lets a smile escape, liking the idea.

Actually, "You can leave your hat on" is way better

Meanwhile, in Boca del Cielo, David is enjoying a drink and chats on the phone with Cinthia. He tells her that as soon as he'll finish his job there, he'll head to the hacienda. But Cinthia won't take "later" for an answer. He wants him there NOW. David can't understand what's the emergency. He asks her if she's ok, but surprise-surprise, she's not. She is angry because of that climber who married her brother. "I need you!" "Do you really mean it?" "Yes, my love! Now that you left, I miss you very much and I can't be without you. Kisses!" David is the only one buying her cheesy love statements - I, for sure, don't. A pair of sunglasses and a few girls in bikini would
make this picture perfect.

Back at the hacienda, Maria brings Rugged Roger his drink and he tells her that Ana Paula said that she hopes they could be good friends. Wonder if all that lemonade is the reason why he was
bitter all along

Rogelio enjoys the drink and tells Maria that Ana Paula had more fun than expected during their voyage, making him believe that she really appreciates his effort and dedication. This gives Maria the opportunity to say our favorite catchphrase: TOLD YA!, adding that he should have more faith in her and Rogelio tells her she's the only woman he trusts. Maria says he should start trusting more in Ana Paula too, causing him this reaction. " 'ta bueno!" = It's alright!

"I will take it easy with her. I decided not to give up until I win Ana Paula's heart!" That's my boy, you go Roger! I don't really have a comment for this pic, but I thought you
would all enjoy seeing his cute dimples and smile

Outside the hacienda, auntie Rosy tells Moron Miguel that Bruno told her that usually, when you sign a contract, you receive a copy of it also. Ana Paula joins their conversation and Miguel roooars animalistic: "ANA PAULAAAAAAAAA!". I'm not even joking. One more item on "Miguel's creepy features" list. The only person who doesn't see anything wrong with it is Ana Paula herself, who gives him kisses and hugs, feeling happy that finally there is someone who says her complete name. Ooups, objection, your honor!, auntie Rosy does that too. "Yes, aunt, but only you guys do it. Here at the hacienda everybody calls me 'Paula' ". Blame your mother for giving you two first names.

Miguel asks her how was the trip with Roger and she repeats the same stuff that everybody kept telling throughout the telenovela: that it was better than expected and that he behaved very friendly with her. When did a kiss stop being romantic and turn into a 'friendly' gesture? Oh the sadness! "More than friendly, I would say" says auntie Rosy, who reads my mind. Thank you! "He was attentive, gentleman-like..." Rosy knows best

Ana Paula says: Maybe it won't be that difficult to spend a year here.
Ana Paula thinks: Maybe I will manage to spend more than a year here.

Oh yes, cowboy Rogelio will be mine!

Now Rogelio is having a chat with Bruno. "Don't worry, Vanesa never worked before and she doesn't know anything. I doubt that she could handle the business. Actually, I should warn Federico that with Vanesa helming the empresa, he will end up in bankruptcy. Vanesa taking over her father's business?
This wins as the joke of the day

"She doesn't know much, but she's an intelligent woman, says her defender Bruno, who might be her only fan. "And she wishes to take revenge." Oh sh*t!

"You should beware of her, especially since now she's the major shareholder."
"You're very wrong, caramba, Federico only gave her 30% of the shares, I saw it when she signed it." Finally someone who doesn't only read what he signs beforehand, but who also reads what others sign.
"Her mother gave her her shares too and with them, she has 60% and the control over the firm."
"Whatever, we'll see who'll be the toughest. ("Ya veremos de que cuero salen mas correas" literally means "We'll see which leather will make the most belts" and it means that we'll see who will win or who will have more endurance).

Don't argue with Rogelio, your argument will
always be invalid.

Rogelio: "Something else?"
Bruno: "Yes, your sister."
Suddenly Rogelio has a worried look upon his face, probably thinking that Bruno has the intention of showing his worked-up chest in all its splendor to bang his sister.
But no, Bruno warns Rogelio that Cinthia is looking for the will of their parents. "She asked for a copy and I said that I would gladly give it to her if...she would promise me a night of passion". No no no, me is bad girl. *Note to myself: control your kinky impulses. He actually says that he would do it if Roger would give him his permission.









Can I give her the will, pleeeease?





NO!










Rogelio said he did well and he shouldn't give her anything. If she wants a copy of the will, she should ask him. Maria comes with the drinks and hears the last part of the conversation, looking worried.

Back to Boredom del Cielo, David is still at the table, not having finished his drink yet. Forever alone? No, thankfully, because Juan joins him. He tells David that Fermin is planning to go that night to the construction site to stop it and he already formed the group of fishermen.

At the hacienda, Maria tells Rogelio that she heard what he told Bruno about the will. Well, doh, it's not like we thought you were deaf. "I know you heard it Nana, since you were here!" See, Rogelio agrees with me. "But why are you like this? What does it cost you to give Cinthia what she is entitled to receive?" "Look, for everybody's sake, I will never do it." "But why?" "Because Cinthia doesn't have any idea about this business, she would end up losing everything, that's why!"
Your argument is still invalid.

"Well, yes, but maybe she..."
"No no, no 'maybe'. I won't risk the hacienda or the people working here only for a bratty girl. End of discussion"
"But Cinthia has the right to what your father left to both of you."
"You don't have to remind me, if there is someone who knows the will's terms, that's me."
"Ay, I know you would be incapable of taking something that belongs to your sister."
"Then? Look Nana, nothing guarantees that David could be a good husband and I don't want her to lose her patrimony."
"Well, yes, it's a possibility."
"I never boasted about my merits, but the ledgers don't lie - I have significantly increased the proprieties that our father left us."
Nana says she doesn't doubt it - err, shouldn't she just have said that SHE KNOWS IT, since the hacienda grew right in front of her own eyes? Nana - not so bright. She says that the best way to end with all this is to give Cinthia what belongs to her and she can do with the money whatever she wants to.
Not entirely convinced.


Night falls at la hacienda. Ana Paula wants to help Maria in the kitchen and she holds a carrot as if she's about to stab someone with it.
Forget about the icicle, this knife won't leave
any traces.

Maria allows her to continue working, because she was enjoying the gossip. She wants to continue talking, but Ana Paula pretends having no idea of Maria's subject of interest. Hint: it starts with "Roge" and it ends with "lio". Maria tells her that she is very young and she can't mourn her boyfriend forever. Her mourning is already longer than the actual relationship between her and Gus, just sayin'. "I think you should give yourself another shot at love, because afterwards you'll regret it and there will be no way to turn back time." Ana Paula sighs, telling us that she is The Woman Who Couldn't Love AGAIN, because that's how she feels. Maria tells her that she knows how it feels to lose your love, but she also knows how much you miss that feeling afterwards. "So that's why you don't have anyone by your side?" "That's right, so listen to my advice and try it at least."

"Here? How?" - Ahhh? Wait...what? Is she really or does she only pretend to be? What in the name of San Juan??? Isn't it obvious that Rogelio needs a napkin every time he sees her, because he can't stop drooling?
"Well, I didn't say you should try it with someone who isn't your husband. Try to start all over again with him".
Oh yeah, Rogelio is a good match. Thanks for
pointing that out to me, I would have never thought of it

"No, no, that can't be, because after a ye...forget about it. The thing is that I won't fall in love again." No, Ana Paula, the thing is that the heart doesn't have ears and doesn't get along with the brain, so you can't tell it what it should feel. It just bugs me that she seems so certain of everything, as if she has some kind of a crystal globe, able to see in the far future.
"You know that in fact Rogelio married me to humiliate Vanesa" - And there you go, she sounds jealous to me.
"Well, this is how it began, but things can change. Interact more with him and I assure you that you will discover a wonderful human being."
"Why are you telling me all this, Maria?
"Because I realized that Rogelio sees you as no other woman."
Holy guacamole! No sh*t?


"Not even Vanesa!"

OH. MY. GOD! Bring the smelly salts!

Back to Boredom del Cielo, Fermin with the fishermen, Juan included (who plays dumb) arrive at the site, warning David that even if Gustavo betrayed them, he will go to the capital city to denounce them if necessary. Juan plays the game and warns David that he could end up like the other ones who tried to mess with the pueblo and almost floated in the bay. Ugh, David is too cute to sleep with the fishes. ZzzzzZzzz...I could fall asleep with this part, but unfortunately the fishermen are shouting too loud. Bla bla bla you won't buy us like you did with engineer Gustavo
bla bla and David fakes chickening out.

We are at the hacienda again, with Ana Paula still in disbelief, saying that this can't be. Maria asks her if she doesn't think that Rogelio changed a lot. "Well, yes, he is trying to get along with me. But from there til watching me with different eyes, as you say, is still a long way."


Keep telling yourself that, darling!

"Although..." says Ana Paula, looking to see if Rogelio isn't spying on them as usual "...he kissed me while we were at the lagoons". Maria's second opportunity of the episode to say: TOLD YA!
But yet again, Ana Paula is a party pooper, saying that she can't forget Gusbobo. "Well, anyway, could you do me a favor? Try to get along with Rogelio. He changed a lot and if he'll return to the way he was before, you'll be in for a big surprise."

Ana Paula goes to see Rogelio in his office, breaking his concentration, but he isn't upset. She tells him that dinner is ready and asks him if he wants to have something to eat, but he says: "Not yet, in a moment!"

Who would have thought that knowing that the dinner
is ready would make Roger so happy?

Ana Paula asks him for permission to call her friend Squeaky, to know how she is. He asks her if she misses her a lot and she says yes, especially since Vanesa's father fired her after he found out that she is Ana Paula's friend. Rogelio tells Ana Paula that if she won't be able to find a new job, she should let him know so that he can recommend her. Ana Paula thanks him, he hands her the telephone over and she promises she won't be late. Roger of course doesn't care how long will the conversation last, since it's her house. Awww.

She feels a bit uncomfortable that Rogelio is still there while she is talking on the phone, since she can't share her dirty secrets with her friend Dany.

We are now with Vanesa and Esteban, who thinks that there won't be any problems with her mother, but he doesn't feel the same about her father, who, he thinks, doesn't agree with them trying again with the relationship. Vanesa says that she'll do whatever it's in her power to achieve her goals, meaning trying to see if things can work out between her and Esteban and if they can be happy indeed. Also, she wants to see if she can be successful in the business too, to finish with those who aren't worthy. Esteban is confused with that last line, but she quickly changes the subject, telling him that she'll need his help.


Your wish is my command!

Vanesa needs of course patience, since she'll spend a lot of time focusing on the business and maybe they won't be able to spend so much time together as before. But Esteban understands her and supports her, since he knows that her father isn't feeling too well lately and he could use her help. She agrees and she is glad that he understands her. Esteban is leaning for the kiss, but at first she isn't really into it.

Sorry Esteban, but Rogelio's lips are unforgettable
and unmatched


Meanwhile, Ana Paula still tries to speak encoded to Dany, but it's not really working, so she moves to Plan B, speaking about themes of low interest, like for example, Dany getting her job back. Even Rogelio is fed up with the awkwardness of the phone conversation, so he leaves, letting her talk in peace. Dany still not figuring out what was going on, asks her "WHY SO SEEERIOUS?" Ok, not really as menacing as the Joker, but that's what she said. Ana Paula tells her that Rogelio was there and that's why she couldn't talk. Dany asks her how is everything with him, seeming more enthusiastic about Ana Paula's husband that Ana Paula herself.

Dany, with a creepy kinky stalking girlfriend look


Ana Paula says: "Well, I don't know Dany....Rogelio kissed me."
Ana Paula thinks: "Well, things are going terrific. Rogelio and I kissed and I am pretending I am hard to get, to seem more interesting.

I kissed a cowboy and I liked it

OH NO YOU DIDN'T! *squeak

Dany: "Told ya, told ya! You'll fall in love! I will pray to San Antonio for that!" Fan Club Rogelio has a new member.
Of course, Ana Paula says no no no, she doesn't think so. Uhmm a few minutes ago with Maria, she was pretty sure that this won't happen and now she DOESN'T THINK that? Hmm I smell an inconsistency here. "It's just that...all the time I kept thinking of Gustavo."

"But he is gone and you should give Rogelio a chance! After all, what are you losing with that? Think about it."
"Well, we'll see about that, but for now I promised Maria that I'll try to get along with him."

Get along...in more ways than one. Cheeky smile

She remembers the kiss and sighs.


So, let me get this straight. When she kisses Rogelio
she thinks of Gustavo, but when she talks about
Rogelio she thinks of the kiss? Logic goes out the window

Another day at the hacienda. Moron Miguel arranges the pictures of the family in Ana Paula's room, but Ana Paula doesn't like the fact that he is avoiding to speak about Dany, who is worried about him. She doesn't understand why he broke up with her and he says it's the best for her. Can't argue with that though, it's better to be forever alone than forever with a moron. He has nothing to offer her, he says and moreover, she is too far away and he prefers someone from San Gabriel. "Someone like Maripaz? Because I noticed that you danced a lot with her on my wedding day". "Maripaz is very nice." Hold on...he's not good enough for Dany, but is for Maripaz? Way to go undervaluing a girl you barely know. Ana Paula asks him if he broke up with Dany because of Maripaz, but he says that of course not. It just...ended y punto. Okay, this is getting zzzzZZZZ. If stupidity could make you fly, he would be lost in space. He says that he and Maripaz are only friends, but Ana Paula doesn't buy it and asks him if she knows of his law problems. "No and she doesn't have to know." "Why not? If you are interested in her, you have to tell her." "We are only FRIEEEEENDS!" "If she's your friend, you should trust her." He thinks that she would probably think the worse of him, but Ana Paula believes it's wrong to hide it from her. He tells her that it's still too soon and she better not dare to tell Maripaz that.

Auntie enters the room and Miguel asks Ana Paula if she has a copy of the contract she signed with Rogelio. Rosy approves, saying that somehow Bruno found out that the marriage is based on a contract and he needs to see it. "But why?" "Maybe he thinks that because Rogelio did it behind his back, there is something there that's not good for you." I don't think Rogelio would have done something not convenient to her, since he started to have feelings for Ana Paula before the wedding. It will probably be revealed later, but I doubt it would harm her, me thinks.

"What are you referring to, aunt?"
"Well, I don't know, but get hold of the copy, maybe you did a pact with the devil."

Rosy, why so negative?

We are in Boredom del Cielo again. David leaves instructions to a worker frightened by the fishermen he saw yesterday, but no worries, he has everything under control. Juan comes and tells David that his acting was pretty good and they both start laughing, while Edgar the worker listens, becoming even more worried by what he heard. David asks him what's happening and he of course says: "Nothing..." and leaves. David gives Juan his tip and they make more arrangements.

At the hacienda, Hugo speaks!! Yay, he's not mute after all. Rogelio asks him if he did what he asked him to and Hugo says: "There you have it, patron!", giving him a giftbag. But Ana Paula spoils the surprise, entering the room.

Rogelio trying to look unsuspecting and kinda failing

She says Good day to Rogelio and Hugo, who for a moment forgets that she is not Paula anymore and quickly corrects himself calling her Senora Montero and leaves.
Don't worry, Hugo. We'll forgive you if you take your shirt off.

Ana Paula asks Rogelio if he is eating in the dining room or on the terrace and he of course chooses option number 2, knowing that it's Ana Paula's favorite place to eat. She is all smiles: "Well then, let's go!", but wait a sec, because Rogelio has a surprise for her. Ana Paula tells him it wasn't necessary, but he says it was. "You impulsed me to do things that I never thought I could do again, so now I will teach you how to ride a horse." Which horse? No, no, bad girl Alexandra, bad girl! Must...resist...writing...kinky....stuff.

Save a horse, ride a cowboy!

She doesn't understand. "Rogelio, you will teach me how to ride?" Wait...is she having the same kinky thoughts also? "Well, I remembered that you like horses a lot, but that idiot Bruno didn't know how to teach you." "No, no, it was my fault, I was too confident." "Never mind. Do you think that because of my condition I can't teach you?" "No, of course not. I think that everything can be done if you find the right way." "Exactly, I believe the same and to begin with, the theory is very important. That's how we'll start." Rogelio takes out the wrapped present, seeing it for the first time and apologizes since he didn't choose the wrapping paper himself, which is rainbow colored. Aww.

Oups, not your favorite colors.

But Ana Paula doesn't mind it, she says she loves it. And with the joy of a kid on Christmas day, she opens her present, while Roger says that this is the first lesson. She thanks him VERY much, not only for the book, but also for remembering the things she likes. Aww. Roger, be my lover.

Oh the excitement!


Well played, sir!

Aww!

Outside the hacienda, Rosy is walking around. Efrain follows her and asks Rosy who upset her, while Cinthia is watching the scene a few meters away. Efrain: "You look so cute when you smile!" "You insignificant!" "Well, to be honest, I was left with an appetite for something more the other day." "Oh you don't say!" "Uh-huh!" "Oh, too bad, because if it has to do with me, you'll remain that way." "Don't be a meanie! Don't say you don't want to!" "Don't want what?"

Efrain grabs her and she hits him with her fan, to let her go, demanding more respect.


Now she really screams that he shall respect her, since she's the auntie of the patron's wife. "You could be the mother-in-law, but you are beautiful!". He finally releases her and she leaves.

Doesn't matter, after all, tomorrow is another day in Cougar Town!

Cinthia comes out, asking him if now he'll get his freak on with an old woman. She answers herself to her question, saying that of course, since she is poor and uneducated, just like him. "Poor and uneducated, but I know very well how to treat women." He grabs her and kisses her. "What's wrong with you, idiota?" "Not a single night has passed without remembering the time I was in your bed." Efrain leaves, Cinthia wipes off the taste of his kiss from her lips.

On the terrace, Roger and Ana Paula read the book together and he gives her additional explanations. Maria interrupts them, bringing her famous orange juice. They are joined at the table by the jolly auntie. Maria says she likes the fact that they are dining on the terrace again and Ana Paula says she's even happier, especially because she is joined by her family also.


Oh Ana Paula, if you only knew what kind of family you have!

Of course, Moron Miguel appears also and tells Rogelio that he is prepared to work and Rogelio tells him he's glad, asking how is his hand and telling him that at the hacienda there are many things to be done. Rosy asks about the book Ana Paula can't stop reading and she says it was a gift from Rogelio, who will teach her how to ride horses.
Rosy to Roger: "And how are you going to do that?"


You. Really. Shouldn't. Have. Said. That


"Don't worry, that's the least important!"

Cinthia arrives at the scene also and Miguel invites her to sit down, but she doesn't want to "Stay at the same table with an old lagartona (lagartona literally means lizard, but it is used to describe women who don't behave properly for their age - or simply put, old bitc*es.), a delinquent and a climber. "No thanks, I lost my appetite.", says Cinthia. And now, so did everyone else. Angry auntie asks Rogelio if he heard it and he says he did, but it's her loss not wanting to eat with them. He asks Maria to bring in the food and afterwards he'll have a talk with Cinthia in the office. He tries to change the subject, but Ana Paula is visibly affected by what Cinthia said.

We now see Gusbobo, Ana Paula's ex-undead-boyfriend-believed-to-be-dead for the first time in this episode. I, for sure, did not miss him. He leans on some wall, with a lost look of a melancholic poet. Fermin comes and for some reason, Gus is soaking wet.


It's raining, raining. Oh baby, it's raining, raining! But I see no rain!

Gus wants to say goodbye to Carmen and Melina, but Fermin says it's a no-go; he should just leave and leave them alone. He tells him that they did what he couldn't, for being too ambitious and shoos him.

Back to Rogelio, he is having a phone call with Federico, because he was surprised to found out that he let Vanesa take care of the business with him. Federico is pissed, saying that he never said something like that. Rogelio tells him that they both threatened him that they will take revenge, but it's absurd to put Vanesa in charge of everything. Roger says his words should be taken as an advice, Vanesa will ruin him. "Look, miserable, I am the one who will make business with you. You won't get close to my daughter en tu perra vida." Fede hangs the phone and is having a heart attack while Dany enters his office. She tries to unbutton him so that he can breathe and te-hee, surprise, crazy witch Elsa comes in and sees them.
It's not what it looks like. Honestly.

Elsa: "Federico, what is this? What are you doing next to my husband? Desgraciada!

Riiiight, they were having so much fun, they are dying of laughter
Wicked Witch of the West


We are back at Boredom City, where Gus puts Meli a letter under the door and leaves.
Back in Fede's office, Dany tells Elsa that it's all a misunderstanding, that she tried to help him. "Liar, liar, bitch, you're a bitch!"
Fede, with his last powers, asks Elsa to calm down and tells Dany to return to her work, but she doesn't want to, because he is sick. "Do it!". "You heard him! Leave, bitch", says the Wicked Witch. Fede is coughing, barely able to speak, asking Elsa to call for a doctor....ehmm, why didn't he ask Dany to do that? Elsa tells him to stop faking, she knows that everything is a lie. He asks her again to call a doctor and Elsa asks him how is it possible for him to cheat on her again with an employee. "Wasn't that secretary enough?" and BOOM! Vanesa just opened the door and heard everything. She can't believe what her mother said.
Back to Boredom, Carmen reads the letter in which Gus says that he is sorry for not having been able to say goodbye in person bla bla he leaves not because he is a coward, but because he needs to find a way to clean his name bla bla and stop the construction bla bla. He doesn't know if he'll come back, but he gives the girls hugs.

Again in the office, Fede tries to explain that it was many years ago and Vanesa can't believe it. Could someone call a doctor? Anyone? Vanesa is disappointed, demands him to tell her the name of that 'gata'. Elsa is laughing while poor Fede is dying.
Har har har!

Finally, after an eternity, Vanesa notices that his father is in a horrible state and asks her mother to call a doctor, but she smiles in her face.

At the hacienda, Bruno tells Ana Paula to get him a copy of the contract, to know exactly what she signed for, so that she doesn't end up being disappointed. He doesn't want her to suffer. Auntie was listening (everyone is a spy in this telenovela) and starts to cough to make them sense her presence. Bruno leaves.

Cute couple.

Rosy asks Ana Paula what did Bruno talk about with her and she says that he asked for a copy of the contract. "Only that? I know he is still in love with you so watch out, you're married now and even if you don't love your husband, you have to respect him." But Ana Paula says she knows it and Bruno as well. Ana Paula is acting a bit strange, so he asks her if there is something else happening and Ana Paula replies that she was thinking of Rogelio - when she thinks she has him figured out, he does things which put him in a different light and she feels confused. Rosy tells her that little by little, she'll get to know her husband better and maybe she'll understand him better. Ana Paula doesn't think she will ever be able to understand him. Wait...what did Rogelio do now? What's wrong with her? She is also worried about Cinthia's bad attitude, although she says that the only thing she can do is to endure that one year, then leave. But in the meantime, says auntie, they should better not become enemies. "Just like that girl Vanesa, they shouldn't hate each other, quite the opposite." Uhmmm love each other like sisters?

"Tia, what are you saying? I could never get along with her. To start with, she hates me because she blames me that Rogelio left her. Moreover, she would be the last person I would wish to have as a friend." Auntie looks disappointed.

Rogelio and Cinthia have a discussion and she tells him that he's overreacting. He is angry because she insulted his wife and her family, but Cinthia states she said only the truth. Rogelio was about to take out his whip, but surprise-surprise, he forgot that the whip is gone and Cinthia mocks him for that.
Poof! Abracadabra! Whip is gone!

"Shut up or I'll forget that you are my sister!" "Well, that's the last thing missing." "Well, don't push me to that point!! You have to respect Paula and her family, so you'll go right now and apologize to my wife."
Rogelio, are you completely bonkers?

"QUEEEE? Do you want me to apologize to that ___ [fill in the blanks]?"

It was a demand, not a question.

In Tuxtla, at the hospital, Vanesa is agitated, while her mother reads calmly a magazine. Vanesa tells her that it looks as if she doesn't care about what might happen to her father. Right on the money! "It's not that, but I won't get worried if it's not the case." Yeah, you could start getting worried when you'll see him in the casket. "I know him, I know how exaggerated he is." "It didn't seem to me that he was exaggerating when the ambulance took him." "Oh daughter, don't you think it was too much of a coincidence that he started to feel sick right when I caught him with that employee?" "But my father has problems with the blood pressure! Now explain to me what was that about with the affair with the secretary?" "Well, I won't talk about that." "It's a shame, 'cause you will tell me everything right now." A doctor tells them that they have to discuss seriously about Federico's health.

At the hacienda, Cinthia is still pissed, saying she rather dies than apologizing to that bunch of profiteers and that his dear Paula is nothing but a ____ [fill in the blanks ver 2.0]. Now Rogelio is really angry, shouting that she must respect his wife and even if she doesn't want to, she'll have to apologize to her. He grabs her, but she still refuses to obey, shouting that since Ana Paula came there, she only caused trouble. Cinthia says Ana Paula bewitched him.
"Enough with the nonsense! And if you don't want to..."

"Then what? Can I finally leave this place?" For the moment, Cinthia only leaves his office. "Cinthia, CINTHIA!", Rogelio screams.

It's hard being the only man of the house,
surrounded by so many (hysterical) women.
And no, Moron Miguel doesn't count as a man.

Back at the hospital, Vanesa talks to her father, telling him that she got very scared, but now he has to calm down and rest. "Don't worry about the business, I'll take care of it." "That's the problem, my daughter, why did you tell Rogelio that you will handle things with him? I won't allow that" "What are you talking about? Of course she can do that, since she's the major shareholder!", says an unworried Elsa. "What are you saying" "Vanesa doesn't only have her shares, but also mines, so it will be up to her to decide what to do." "You can't do this to me, Elsa!" "Why not, for God's sake? You can't work anymore. Didn't the doctor tell you? You had a mild heart attack and you could die." Fede looks worried. Elsa is already keen on the idea of becoming a widow. Vanesa is pissed that her mother spilled the beans.

At the hacienda, Maria tells Rogelio that it's a good thing that Paula convinced him to surrender his 'fuete'. "Every day I like more your wife. It's the truth! As well as the fact that Cinthia already has the proper age to take her own decisions." "Look, nanny, my sister is very confused. She doesn't want to stay here, because she can't stand my wife, but this isn't a reason good enough for her to get married.

"That's true, but then give her her part! Your father said that..."
"I know what my father said. That as soon as Cinthia would find a man who could take care of her interests, I should give her her part of the herencia."

IN ROGELIO I TRUST!

"And you doubt that David might be that man? He's your friend, you know him for a long time, you have businesses together..."
"Even so, I don't know if he's the man who Cinthia could let take care of her fortune."
"But Rogelio..."
"Look, nanny, I have the obligation of protecting my sister, even if she's against it."
Maria, stop arguing with Rogelio. Your chances of winning are -36.


Back at the hospital....zzzzZZZZzzz...
"What did you say, Elsa?"
"Mother, why do you say the things like that? Don't listen to her, father. You're not that sick, but you do have to take care of yourself."
"But if he's not so serious, why all that drama?"
"Enough, mother! I'll bring the doctor in so that he can explain it to you better."
"No daughter, no, I am already better."
"It wasn't the best way for you to find out, but the truth is that you do have to take care of yourself and rest, you can't cope with the pressure of having a packinghouse anymore."
"I understand that, daughter. But what I don't want is that you continue having connections to Rogelio and his people. It's not good for you."
"Don't worry, I can take care of it. And I don't care about Rogelio anymore, because I am seeing Esteban again and I appreciate him more now."
Poor Esty, he is the second-hand-second-course boyfriend.

Fede asks her if she is sure about that and she says that she is. Elsa adds that nothing is better than having the support of the person who loves you, although it would be better if they would be married, so there is no point for Fede in resisting. Vanesa says that Esteban already supports her. "Alright then!" The jolly mother goes to drink some coffee.

Fede wants to explain Vanesa about that secretary, but she doesn't let him, telling him that he'll have time later, because she will have to know how everything happened, since she can't believe it.

At la hacienda, sleazy Bruno asks Paula to understand him, that he loves her and hopes that as soon as the year will finish, she'll regain her freedom to give him an opportunity.

Bruno says: Moreover, I don't want Rogelio to harm you.
Bruno thinks: Moreover, I don't want Rogelio to share his bed with you.

"Look what he did to Vanesa and she was the love of his life!"
"Bruno..."
"Paula..."
The lovely moment is interrupted by Cinthia, who stormes in, shouting that she doesn't understand what the hell did she do to his brother, nor why he is supporting her so much, but it's clear that she must be very good at SOMETHING, to have him like that.

Say what?

Bruno tries to calm her down, but she tells him to shut up. "You and your family are a bunch of profiteers. If only my brother would have never met you." Cinthia leaves, while Ana Paula and Bruno are impactados.

At Mercedes' place, she discusses with Chio about Esteban, who told her that things are going well between him and Vanesa. Chio says it's a shame and Mercedes says she tells her all this so that she doesn't get her hopes up with him, since she knows Chio likes him a lot. "Yes, but now there is no hope for me. Ni modo." "I think from now on you'll only have to look at him as a friend." "No way, I could never be his friend! I like him and I would like him to be my boyfriend. So if things won't work out with his ex, let me know ASAP!"
Women.

Cinthia walks around the hacienda, pissed, but luckily her knight in shiny armor David just arrived to support her. "What's happening?" "Please get me out of here." Hugs.
"David, let's get married as soon as possible."
"Alright, alright, tranquila, what's happening?"
"I can't take it any longer, please!"
"Yes, yes, I understand you, but what you are saying is very serious. Are you sure that you want us to get married?"
"Yes, yes my love!"
"And did you already speak to Rogelio? Because really, I wouldn't want to do it behind his back."
"Are you scared?"
"No, it's not that, but he's my friend, my business partner and I think it's better to do things right."
"Well, I already confronted him and told him."
"What do you mean you confronted him? Didn't he agree?"
"He thinks that it's precipitated, but I don't. And he already knows everything and I'm decided, so there's nothing to think about."

Well Cinthia, you know that it takes two to get married and David isn't too convinced...
Ok, never mind, David wants her to be his wife. Bring on the rice and the wedding bells! Kiss & hug.

At the hospital, Vanesa acusses her mother for giving Fede the bad news in such a...bad way. She doesn't see why she should be more careful, since he is sick anyway and he has the right to know it. "Yes, but that wasn't the way of telling him. You saw the way he took it."
"Vanesa, I am sorry, it's the reality and you and I have to think of the possibility that we might learn to live without him." What a heartless witch.
"How can you be so cold? If my father dies, I don't know what..."
"Look, if that would happen, you would have a lot of responsibilities. You are his only child, you are the sole inheritor of his fortune, so forget about sentimentality and start thinking of what we are going to do."

Elsa's big eyes creep me out. She's creepy in an over-the-top way, although instead of eyeballs, she seems to have $_$ .

At la hacienda, David and Cinthia share a passionate kiss and she doesn't like the fact that he is getting too steamy and pushes him.

It's getting hot in here

Uhmm I guess wedding is canceled then, since he's more than her muscular body can handle?
"David, no! They can see us here."
"Ah but what's the problem mi amor, if you'll be my wife anyway? Let's go and talk to Rogelio once and for all."
"No, no, let's wait until he calms down. In the meantime, take me for a walk to the pueblo, I don't want to stay here."
"You are not stepping back, are you?"
"Of course not, I just don't want to be here. Will you take me to the village, please?"

Hmm...what prize will you give me for that?

Bruno and Ana Paula are still talking, he tells her that she has a very difficult sister in law, poor her. She really doesn't know why Cinthia behaves like that, luckily she isn't his fiance anymore. But don't get too excited Bruno, she is not into you. Ana Paula says she would love it if "everybody would get along...for Rogelio".

What's with this awkward hand motion?

And she continues: "...so that he can live peacefully."
Bruno doesn't like what he hears. "You speak of him in a way that...Paula, never forget that Rogelio only cares about himself and won't back down no matter what. I didn't want to tell you without having the evidences, but as time goes by, I am more convinced that he took my father's hacienda playing dirty. And if he did this to me and Vanesa, why couldn't he harm you as well?"
"Because I did nothing wrong to him. I think that Rogelio is kind, but he's very hurt."

"But you defend him with so much passion that anyone would say that you fell in love with him!"

Oh my God, forgot to fake it. Was it that obvious?
I suck at pretending to be a woman of steel.

"Did you fall in love with him? Answer me! Are you in love with Rogelio?", insists Bruno.

Quick, back to Indifference MODE: ON

Pretty please don't screw my plans - say no!

End of capitulo 32.

Comments:
I had some trouble getting the texts right underneath the pictures, sorry for that, I am still trying to figure out the proper formatting, I am a bit new to this.
 

Thank you Alexandra for this great snarky recap, loved your title. The Cupcake is indeed confused. I think she is starting to fall in love and doesn't know it yet. She is still grieving for Gus, but she is slowly starting to fall in love with Rohell.

Sin is so give me, give me, give me. I can understand why she wants her share of the inheritance, but she would squander it. I guess it is half of the hacienda. And to marry David, who according to the will, would have control of her half, Rohell would be semi ruined. David and his shady dealings. I hope Sin and David don't marry. Sin is horrible to the Cupcake and in front of Rohell no less. Rohell ought to send Sin on a vacation for a while maybe she would lighten up, but I don't think she ever will unless she gets that inheritance.

The Vainy one is so not into Esteban. He ought to run back to Mercedes and forget all about the Vainy one.

La Vaca needs a boot up her butt. Really, she couldn't tell he was having a heart attack? She kept looking at him like die already. Thank goodness the Vainy one came. Otherwise Fed would be dead. I don't know why Fed stayed with La Vaca, he should have divorced her years ago. And to call Dany a hootchie, if I had been Dany I would have clocked her a good one and called an ambulance.

And Bruno telling the Cupcake he loves her. Please,that is one the Cupcake will never love. He is way too smarmy.
 

What a great recap - hilarious! and keep having those kinky thoughts cause you know viewerville is having them, too.
Though I feel sorry for Esteban, he is between two women who aren't too into him,and both of them pretty snippy when they feel crossed - and he doesn't have any shirts that fit, either.
 

Great recap of a nauseating episode. Everyone showed their A$$ (which seemed to be the theme on Univision last night.)

Luckily, I was watching the recording this AM so I could FF through all the Boring de Cielo scenes (great nickname.)

Why does vestuario insist on outfitting La Vaca in completely inappropriate garb?
 

Thanks for this. My favorite line so far is "Moron Miguel doesn't count as a man."

Truer words were never written.

Elsa la Vaca is even more evil than I thought. She's salivating over the thought of Fed's death. At least Vainessa has one redeeming quality in that she loves her father and is shocked at her mother's callousness. She should be equally shocked at Elsa's wardrobe, which is -- por supuesto -- denial of her age. At least Tia MentiRosa dresses appropriately for her age.

I've kept forgetting to say this but I hate those photoshopped slides they show at the end. They look too fake. And does anyone else think that the shot of Ana Brenda in the pink dress makes her look like Maite Perroni?
 

Alexandra: I'm in shock and awe. this was amazing. the time and attention you gave to this was phenomenal. Your screenshots alone were a wonderful summary. My favorites were the "before" and "after" of Rogelio. Those dimples! That smile! Sigh.

"If stupidity could make you fly, he would be lost in space" and "It's hard being the only man of the house, surrounded by so many (hysterical) women. And no, Moron Miguel doesn't count as a man" had me laughing out loud. Your comments had me smiling and all of your points were well taken. What a terrific job.

Now that Maria has forced Ana to realize the obvious, how much further will things progress before Gus arrives? And with Tia, Bruno and Vainessa poised, poisonous and ready to strike, how is this romance ever going to get off the ground?

Diana
 

Alexandra, I was laughing so hard over my cafe con leche this morning, what fun! I loved your in sequence series of Rogel's face.
I loved your description of Elsa.
 

Great work Alexandra. A tour de force! My favorite line was " If stupidity could make you fly, he would be lost in space." about Moron Miguel.

Your screenshots were perfect!

@UA: the opening & closing scenes of TNs always look terrible. I think it's because they shot them separately (prior to ) from the actual filming and the conditions were different. The lighting always looks flat and harsh, and, of course, they are cut and pasted all over the place to create the appropriate montage for publicity (re)purposes. More than once, I've been prejudiced about an advertised show because those images are so cheesy and unattractive, only to find the actual filming was normal.
 

@Diana: "poised, poisonous and ready to strike" An apt description. It's nerve-wracking.
 

Alexandra: You are becoming the new Queen of Snark. I loved your "wet man fetish" and the remark about the lemonade making Rogelio bitter. Tee hee!

Speaking of wet men, shirtless Gustavo at the beach looked like he had rolled in sand, but, alas, it turned out to be hair in all the wrong places. Add Miguel's unibrow and look at the mess you get.
 

Thanks for the hilarious recap and the screen caps.
Elsa la Vaca--can't stand that woman with her big bug eyes and hateful attitude. Pobre de Federico. She will be eaten up with hysteria if he ever acknowledges Ana Paula as a daughter.

Sinthia is a puzzle. She won't stop spinning long enough to think through what she needs to do. OK, show off the abs and waistline, but why long sleeves on such a tiny shirt?

La Paloma
 

Alexandra-
Your recap was hilarious. I loved the before and after pictures. That's what melted me and moved to the Rogelio camp.

Pasofino-
I rewatched that scene with Gustavo at the beach without a shirt to see if that darkness on his shoulders and chest was sand or hair but I never could tell for sure. I was really hoping it was sand, but I think it was hair too. The sand is too light in color. What was on his body was dark. That is so disappointing. The guy needs to wax.

I actually feel sorry for Cynthia. She is stuck at the ranch with no one to meet, the town is too small with no one wealthy enough for her. She falls for a guy that her brother would never allow to be hers. The only way out is to marry a bore. I'm not saying I approve of how she treats people, but she is between a rock and a hard spot. As far as her hair goes, I love it, I wish I had hair like that. But it gets annoying when it's always down and in the way in every scene. I think that when she's angry and flinging it around, that would be a good time to have it tied back.

I worry that if Bruno finds out AP is in love with Rogelio, he will tell her that Gus is alive. He doesn't want her falling for Rogelio, although I haven't figured out what his plan is yet. But he seemed to be very dismayed at the idea of her falling for Rogelio.
 

one simply does not kiss rogelio montero and think of gustavo. Omg,perfect! IT was beautiful and everything else,great recap!
 

Great job Alexandra! Loved the recap and pics.

Elsa is just crazy, how couln't she realize thart poor Federico was so ill. Poor Dany.

No matter how wet Gustavo might be, he still isn't doing it for me.

I have some obscure attraction towards Efraín. It's Fabián Robles's fault. I want Esteban too. And Jorge Salinas, but not really Rogelio. And also, in that vein, lets throw in Jorge Aravena. This novela has some attractive guys.

Jarocha
 

Has anyone commented about that beautiful song that plays when Ana Paula y Gustavo are thinking about the time they cavorted on the beach? The name of the song is Solamente Tu by Pablo Alboran (de Espana). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0rwOsAteXM&ob=av3e
 

Dimples! If AP and Rogelio ever reproduced, their kids would have no cheeks for all the dimpling. Loved the before and after of his face.

And love that Hugo speaks! Add one more to the list of cuties here. Makes up for all the bosoms and impossible cinthis-style abs that we're subjected to.

Kelly
 

Jarocha:

I am glad to see you here and I am so sorry to hear of your recent family difficulties. I am sending my kindest thoughts your way.

Esteban is fab. I think he should lose Vainy and Mercy and find someone to really appreciate that smile. Wow. Clearly Mercy's girlfriend (whats-her-name, Chio or something like that?) is into him, but Jarocha, I think you should keep him for yourself.

EJ
 

Alexandra:

Thank you for a fine recap. I love all your screen shots. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that over on El Tal.

My favorite of your screen shots was of Sean Bean with the "One does not just kiss Rogelio...". (One does not just walk into Mordor!) Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks again for writing such an amusing recap.

EJ
 

Alexandra, this is a wonderful recap. I love the photos and the detail is so thorough. Thanks.

My favorite scene was Fed's near death scene with Elsa and Nesa arguing with each other as he choked, sputtered, and gasped. I couldn't help it... I laughed out loud. Of course we know that he can't die before he has an interminable tearful encounter with Ana Paula... so even if he didn't realize it, he was safe.

I thought Rog told Bruno to quit sniffing around Paula... minds well, doesn't he.

Cinthia is still my favorite character, but my favorite couple is Rosaura and Efraín... now that's some chemistry.

Carlos
 

Awesome recap Alexandra and loved the screencaps and snark. The LOTR fangirl in me loves the pic you posted of Boromir. Oh la la. Cinthia is upset with AP for changing Rog for the better. She should be glad that he is in a better mood unless she prefers him being in a sour mood 24/7.

Although not in love with Rog, I think AP is starting to have feelings for him. Of course with Gus nearby, it's just a matter of time before their paths cross again. I'm on Team Rog all the way though. We Rogelianas have to stick together.

It looked to me that Elsa of the bug eyes would like nothing more than for Fed to drop dead. That smile on her face said it all.

I wonder will he ever learn that AP is his daughter before he kicks the bucket since it's seems he's near deaths door?
 

Alexandra, thanks for the laughs. Your snark is spot-on. Great photos, especially Rogelio before and after.

Rogelio of course should let Cynthia see their father's will, but I'm wondering if he's trying to protect her from some ugly secret.

Elsa is one scary lady. She seems more than happy for her poor husband to meet his maker. With her sex kitten wardrobe, I'm thinking she may out-cougar Tia if she gets the chance. Efrain, beware.
 

Alexandra! That was a great recap! I laughed out loud at "Save a horse, ride a cowboy." YOU ARE BAD! BAD BAD BAD!!! Keep those dirty thoughts to yourself! We are pretending to be dignified here! LOL.

Wonderful recapping and it was nice to see the screencaps!

I understand why Rohell is reluctant to let Sinthia get her half--he's right, she'd squander it without proper education. He's worked hard to build their fortune, it would be galling to see her p*ss it away. But at the same time, he's GOT to address her concerns more thoroughly, rather than saying, "No" all the time.

The cougar scene between Efriam and Tia was HIL-ARIOUS. Her little ineffectual slapping of him with her fan was too much. Fabian Robles and Ana Bertha Espin are brilliant.

I'm totally on Team Rog all the way, but I think Gustavo is cute. I vote for him hooking up with Carmen from the "Boring del Cielo."
 

By Televisa law, Fed should find out that AP is his hija. According to IMDB he's in 43 episodes so he still has a handful left.

I can see him changing his will when he realizes that AP is his daughter and a Good Girl. He'd do this without telling Vainessa or Elsa la Vaca and they will throw tantrums at the reading of said will.

If there is a secret about Sinthia it could be that Maria is her birth mother. We don't know when Rogelio's mother died or under what circumstances or whether their father pulled the old switcheroo between a live healthy infant and a stillborn one.

Wouldn't that be a kick in the head for Lady Chatterley?
 

The music in this TN is very pretty
The main song is
Te dejaré de amar
written & sung by
Reyli Barba
