Refugio Para el Amor #44-45 Tue 6/26/12 Rod and Luci’s Awesome Adventures in Babysitting and Baby Birthing
In the middle of their nature walk by the river, Rod and
Luci start making out in earnest, even lying down in a clearing on the path. A
group of little kids passes by and starts taunting them. Luci is embarrassed. Rod
is amused and thinks Doña Paz sent the kids to stop any hanky panky.
Estella asks what Rosa’s questions are about. Rosa demands to
know why Estella recommended Luci for the job in the first place. The
interrogation is interrupted by a call, so we zoom back outside to the lawn,
where Marianita is excitedly telling Pato how cool his wheelchair is. Padre
Honesto arrives and Marianita introduces herself, then continues playing after
Mati brings her a drink. Padre is there to see if Rosa has calmed down since their
last conversation earlier that day. (Oh, Padre. You really do have a lot of
faith in your fellow man.) Pato hopes Padre can help calm her down.
Still on their nature walk, Rod and Luci think they hear the
sound of a child in distress. They go off trail to investigate. Near the riverbank,
they find a crying toddler, with no adult around. They carry the baby along the
riverbank in the direction he points.
Gala and Julie have called Rosa to update her on the Luci investigation.
Julie sends a reminder that they need cash to pay people off for info, but Rosa
cuts the call short to continue interrogating Estella. Estella says she recommended
Luci because she saw she is an honorable girl. “What happened? Did she steal
something?” At least Rosa is honest enough to say she didn’t, although she’s
acting like Luci stole Rod, like he was some possession. Frigida interrupts to
tell Rosa the Padre has arrived to see her.
Gala tells Julie that Rosa won’t believe the photos. She
might think they’re faked, like Rod will. Gala’s brain cells are starting to
work again. She says she suspects that Luci and Rod met before. There are too
many illogical coincidences. First the club, and then a few days later she’s
working in the house.
Melissa visits Claudio to discuss her thesis. She hasn’t
gotten much work done since she last saw him. Her aunt has had issues which have
distracted her and the whole family. Claudio understands, since Rosa is a great
woman who is always concerned about others. (Ha!) In fact, he wants to talk to
Rosa, and Melissa’s mom has given him her contact info. Melissa explains what
all the drama has been about. Luci left. Claudio knows this and says he sent
Barrera to help her family with the property issues. What he doesn’t know is
that Rod followed Luci and now they’re married. Claudio is super impactado.
Lorenzo comes home to Vio with the happy news that he’ll be
working in the casino. He’ll be able to earn so much more money by getting tips
(propinas). He plans on paying attention to see how gambling is done in the big
city. Vio tells him to not even think about gambling at El Inferno, anyway, it’s
prohibited for employees. Lorenzo says when he has an opportunity, he’s going
to play/gamble. He thought bubbles that he’ll also find a way to get even
(cobrar) with Lastra for what he did to his sister.
Padre asks Pato why Rod did things this way, instead of
being straight forward with his parents. Pato points out that when it comes to
Luci, there is no way of talking reasonably with his mother. Padre knows, very well. He asks why Rod went
looking for Luci. Pato informs him Rod went after her to marry her, and he did!
Nope, mom doesn’t know. (Rosa and Frigida are the only ones who don’t know yet.
LOL!) She knows Rod went to see Luci, but no one has told her about the
marriage. Rod wants to tell her personally. In the meantime, Rosa continues to
go more bonkers. Padre is sure Rosa’s maternal instinct (to love
unconditionally) will eventually kick in. (Yeah, right!)
Claudio is still in disbelief about the marriage. “Are you
sure they’re married?” Yep. Rod sent
messages. But Rosa doesn’t know yet. Claudio is upset Luci didn’t tell him.
(That *was* kind of thoughtless on her part.) So, now Luci is Mrs. Torreslanda.
Rosa puts her interrogation of Estella on hold again, so that
she can talk to the Padre. (Look lady, I don’t work for you and I have other
things to do with my time. And you can ask one of your servants for your damn
tea, because I DON’T WORK FOR YOU!) Estella doesn’t say this, of course. She
offers to tell Mati that the Ice Queen needs her tea, and goes to wait in some
servant appropriate place until she’s summoned again.
Luci and Rod follow the direction where the little boy
pointed and find a little house near the river. The door is open and inside
they find a woman in bed, delirious, heavily pregnant, and in the middle of labor pains.
They realize that both the mother and the little boy are burning up with fever.
Rod goes to get water and Luci busies herself in the kitchen and getting them medicine.
Estella reports to Mati that Rosa hasn’t really gotten the
interrogation started. Mati apologizes for getting Estella into this mess. It
is really her responsibility to tell Rosa about Luci, but Estella can’t lie to
Rosa either. Mati suggests that Estella leaves, and Mati will tell Rosa she had
an emergency and had to go.
Claudio frets about why Luci didn’t tell him she was getting
married. Could it be because she was marrying a Torreslanda and was afraid of
his reaction? Melissa tells him that Rod is very much in love with Luci, and
that’s why he dumped his novia. Claudio doesn’t think a real man dumps a woman
at the altar like that. He should have broken off with her before. Melissa
can’t argue with that.
Mati is barely holding it together as she brings Padre his
tea. She starts to cry and say it’s her fault. Padre says Rosa is starting to
infect Mati with her guilt complex. (Oh, please do not let that be contagious.)
Before Mati can spill the beans to Padre, Rosa arrives. Rosa whines about her
headache. Padre wants her to calm down, but she says she can’t. Padre tells her
to resign herself to the fact that Rod loves Luci. Rosa says she’s afraid.
Padre asks why the fear. She’s afraid of the past that will bring her family
disgrace. “Image if you found out that your mother just gave away a child.”
He’d prefer finding that out, over finding out his mother kept quiet about it
just to keep her social standing. She
really doesn’t want to find out how Max and Claudio would react. And her kids
think she’s a moral pillar.
Lorenzo is sad that he wasn’t able to be with Luci when she
got married. Vio says they’ll get to be with her for the Church wedding, which is the one that counts.
Lorenzo can just imagine how badly the Torreslandas will react to their family
and how they will treat them. He says he’ll sell his soul to the devil so that
he’ll be able to buy his mother a fancy dress so that she can attend the
wedding looking distinguished. Vio tries to talk sense into him. She tells him
about a street of shops where you can get beautiful wedding dresses and other
dresses for great prices. Marcial shows up and tells Vio he’s there to say
farewell because he’s going on another trip.
Luci has fed the little boy and given him medicine, and he seems to be doing a bit
better, but the mother has lost consciousness.
Rod turns the mother on her side. He knows some first aid tricks that
will help her and the labor along.
Claudio admits that Luci’s sudden secret marriage bugs him.
Primarily because there is a special bond between them. Melissa says Luci esteems him greatly and is
very grateful to him. Claudio says perhaps he’s just an old fogey. Melissa
disagrees. She can tell that he doesn’t like her cousin Rod for some reason. Claudio
thinks Rod might be like his papa Max. Melissa disagrees. Anyway, kids aren’t
at fault for their parents’ sins. Claudio says she’s totally right, but Rod
dumping Gala right in front of the judge doesn’t speak well of him. Melissa
explains that Rod did try to speak to Gala beforehand, many times, but she wouldn't listen. Claudio
tells her she has again taught him a lesson. He will respect Luci’s decisions.
Melisssa has inherited her mother’s intelligence, good sense, as well as being a good person
like her. Melissa is all smiles and blushes at the compliment. They get back to
work on her thesis.
Pato and Marianita talk about her new school. There are some
mean kids that she doesn’t like. Aldo returns home, and meets and scares
Marianita with his larger than life personality. He gets the news that Luci and
Rod are married. Aldo wants to throw a big party to celebrate. Pato dumps cold
water on that plan and tells him to pipe down. The Ice Queen doesn’t know yet.
Padre Honesto is trying to warm her to the idea before Rod springs the news on
her. Aldo thinks this is even more reason to party now, before the Rosa bomb
explodes and causes them all misery. Pato gives in. Aldo’s taking him out so
that they can celebrate and Pato can meet Lorenzo, who’s now part of the
family.
The sick mother has come around, and Luci and Rod are coaching
her through the labor while Luci tries to get a call out on the cell phone,
with no luck. They ask where her husband is, but he’s far away working. Rod
heads out to try to get a cell phone signal. Luci coaches the mother through
breathing.
Connie is getting a manicure from Vicky and asking her about
her sugar daddy. Vicky says she hasn’t seen him much lately because he has to
work. Connie wonders if he knows she’s been going out with Aldo. Vicky starts
getting nervous and lies that he knows she and Aldo are friends. “Does he know
you go to places like el Inferno?” Vicky says he doesn’t and he wouldn’t like
it either. What a coinkidink. Max got all upset that Aldo went there too. And
Rosa reacted even worse. They would both be shocked that Connie went there too. Connie leaves Vicky a huge tip. (If Vicky can get her act together, she would have a great mother-in-law in Connie.)
Gala is starting to think that Rod knew exactly who Luci was
in el Inferno and brought her to work in the house to have an adventure with
him. Julie thinks she’s crazy and Rod wouldn’t do a thing like that. Gala has
to agree that it’s not like him. Julie says this is a coincidence that they
have to take advantage of.
Oscar and Max are working in the office. Oscar still doesn’t
get why Rosa is in such a tizzy. Rod is a grown man (hombre hecho y derecho)
who has been living on his own and been responsible for himself for some time
now. Max doesn’t get it either. He thinks it’s a lack of respect for Rod on
Rosa’s part. Oscar also doesn’t think the class difference issue should be
causing all this fuss. If he found a woman like Luci who was good, hard
working, had good values, and above all loved him, he wouldn’t think about it
twice. Max questions if he would really
do it. Oscar points out that they are in the 21st century, for
Pete’s sake. In fact, he asked Rod the same thing, and he gave the same answer
he just did. Rod loves Luci, and nothing can get in the way of that.
Rod runs along the trail and tries to get a signal. He
finally gets to a spot where he gets a bit of signal to make an emergency call,
but the call drops. He keeps running, while yelling for help.
Estella is still wasting her precious time at the big house,
and is even helping Mati cook. She goes to check on Marianita and Frigida takes
the opportunity to blame Mati for causing all this trouble by recommending
Luci. Mati tells her to shut up because she knows NOTHING about what’s going on
here. And if she doesn’t shut her trap, then she’s going to see a Matilde that
she has NEVER seen before!
Aldo, hugged up with Pato in the back seat of the car, calls
Lorenzo to invite him out with them. Aldo asks if Pato also has feelings for
Luci. Yep, ever since he saw her for the first time. He flashes back to the
first time they met in Het Het. Aldo’s on a mission to cheer him up.
Luci and the mother are talking during a break between
contractions. The family has been having trouble getting enough for the little
one to eat and clean water. She points to where there is some clean water to
clean the baby once it arrives. She has another major contraction and passes
out. Luci screams for Rod.
Boris and Hannah hang out on the school lawn eating chips.
(They have the most delicious looking high calorie foods at this school.) He
wants to be with her all the time. He thinks they need alone time. For what?
For kisses. He gives her a long kiss, but she’s not into it and her eyes are
open the entire time.
Marcial tells Vio that he loves her. She’s starting to have
doubts since he’s going away again. She thinks her work is a problem for him.
He sees nothing wrong with her work. He can’t provide something better for her
right now, but he will. She never thought a man would value her, knowing the
work she does. She’s excited now that she’s singing and hopes that it will lead
to better things- another kind of life.
Magda and Paz look through a box of old clothes. Paz plans to repurpose some of the garments
to create new dresses for them to attend the wedding. They get excited looking
through the old dresses and come upon a blue dress Paz wore as a bridesmaid in
her cousin’s wedding years before. She tells Magda how she has a huge family in
the town she’s from-- lots of cousins. Magda points out that this is the first
time since Galdino died that she’s seen Paz so animated and happy. Paz
acknowledges this and says Galdino would not want to see her unhappy. She
thanks Magda for being like a sister to her. She doesn’t know what she would
have done without good and brave Magda. Magda is glad they have each other.
Padre does an exorcism on Rosa. (We wish!) He just prays
over her, but she’s immediately in her usual tizzy again. Why did God allow
Pato to have this accident? Padre tells her that the only thing she has to be
upset about is Pato’s accident, but she’s the one causing all this other drama.
Why? She says, because Linares came back into her life. Because of Luci’s
presence. Because her son has gone crazy over a servant. Do these seem
insignificant to Padre?! Uhm, yeah!
Patricio may be in a wheelchair, but he’s getting better. “He’ll never be the same!” Padre points out
that physically, no, but he may become a better man. Rosa won’t accept that.
And she won’t accept that they will all find out what she did. Padre thinks
that’s exactly it. Rosa doesn’t want people to know she’s not perfect. She
needs to root out that pride that’s eating at her soul. She’s surprised by Padre’s
lack of understanding. Padre Honesto informs Rosa that his job is to speak the
TRUTH.
Capitulo 45 scenes consolidated for expediency
Rod comes back to Luci and Maria, the sick mother in labor.
He brings her to consciousness with a cut onion that he rubs together and holds
under her nose. The situation for the mother and the baby on the way looks
grim.
Hannah is very relieved to get the kiss with Boris over with.
Like Luci, she has never had a boyfriend before. She wonders if it’s because no
guy has ever liked her. Boris admits that there have been lots who’ve liked
her, but he kept them at bay. She shoves some more chips in her mouth to avoid
another kiss.
Pato, Aldo and Lorenzo hang in a bar drinking beers (Aldo
helps Pato with his by giving him sips and taking sips from his mug too),
eating nuts, and flirting with girls at another table. Aldo thinks the girls
are totally into Pato. Pato thanks Aldo for getting him out.
Marianita informs Mati that Pato has gone out. The news
spreads like wildfire to Frigida and then to Rosa. She rips into Genaro, the
driver, and Aldo and Pato when they return. Pato puts her in her place and
tells her to save her sermons since she doesn’t know what it’s like to be imprisoned
by four walls every day.
Melissa bids Claudio farewell and wishes him a good trip.
She manages to hide her fan girl crush pretty well. Barrera then calls Claudio
to report on the Het Het happenings with the properties.
Gala is convinced that Rod and Luci knew each other before
she started working at the house. (Correct) She calls Rosa up and tells her
this theory. Rosa can’t believe it. Later, Gala calls Pato, who confirms that
he and Rod met Luci in Het Het. Gala is convinced it was there they became
lovers and Rod purposely brought Luci to the house to be his lover. (Wrong!)
Pato tells her this is not so. Luci didn’t even get along with Rod at first and
scolded him because he delayed getting her father help. Gala thinks Luci and
Rod meeting in Het Het, then at the club, and then at Casa Torreslanda is too
much coincidence. She does not realize she is living in a telenovela.
Vicky commiserates with her boss that she would like to go
out to movies and such, like a normal young person does with her boyfriend. Her
boss encourages her to end things with Max, so she can do those things. Vicky
claims she can’t because she LOVES her Osito. Well, if she won’t dump him, then
she needs to be getting more out of this deal. Not just little gifts, but an actual
investment, like a house or a business. (How’s she going to explain that to her
dad?) Make him pay. Vicky seems to like the idea.
Max calls Pato and finds out, to his delight, that he’s in a
bar where Aldo has taken him. Max tells Oscar that Aldo never ceases to
surprise him. He’s spontaneous. Max admits to Oscar that Aldo is actually way
more smart and clever than he appears. Hmm…Max gets a call from his “licensiada”
(aka Vicky) and makes plans to see her very soon.
Hannah tells Melissa about the dud of a kiss with Boris.
Since her only other kissing experience was spin the bottle in middle school,
she’s no expert, but she knows she should have felt more. Melissa encourages
her to give Boris a chance to woo her, but also tells her that she can’t date
someone just because she feels sorry for him.
Later at the house, Pato admits to Hannah that he was scared
to go out at first, but then he really enjoyed himself. He does not believe
those girls were flirting with him, and if they were, it was because they
didn’t realize he’s in a wheelchair. Hannah calls him a super galan and a
galanaso (a major galan/babe), and says he will find someone amazing. Pato also
tells Hannah why their mom is so freaked out about Luci—her resemblance with
Aurora Linares. It is a mystery to them why this would be, since Rosa and
Aurora were supposedly such good friends.
Rosa continues to have a fit about EVERYTHING. Her
interrogation of Estella keeps getting interrupted. She keeps getting calls. Padre
came to visit and didn’t tell her what she wanted to hear. Pato left home with
Aldo, without her permission. Max comes home for lunch and the meal isn’t ready
yet, so he leaves (to have an afternoon delight with his mistress Vicky).
Hannah announces at lunch that she kissed a boy, and she liked it (but she
didn’t really). Then everyone leaves Rosa alone at the dining room table to
continue her bitch session of one.
Rod and Luci make an excellent team coaching Maria through
her labor and catching and cleaning the baby boy when he finally arrives. Rod
cleans up the bed sheets, Maria and her two babies get some rest, and Rod and
Luci take a well deserved nap on the floor. When they wake, Maria is burning
with fever once more and they work to cool her down. To make matters worse,
Maria’s husband comes home, freaks out about the two strangers in his house,
and threatens them with his machete. Rod talks him down and introduces him to
his new son.
Vicky and Max have their afternoon delight. He’s in a good
mood today, and she’s feeling frisky as well. She makes herself comfortable by
getting naked on the couch, but, isn’t leather uncomfortable on bare flesh? He
loves that she’s taken the initiative. She loves provoking her Osito. They get
busy. Later, in bed, she pouts a bit about not being able to be public with
Max. He’s not sympathetic. He reminds her that he’s married.
Maria continues to become more feverish, and the little boy
still has a fever as well. Mr. Maria is reluctant to take them to a hospital
because of the cost. Rod and Luci convince him and he and Rod go off to get
help. (I’m pretty sure Rod is paying the costs.) The paramedics finally arrive
later and take the whole family with them. Both Mari and her husband are
grateful to our hero and heroine. Rod and Luci are glowing with their
accomplishment and hug each other tight.
After making the poor woman wait all day, then berating her
into helping Mati prepare lunch (repeat after me Estella—Look lady, I DON’T
work for you!), and making her granddaughter stay outside, Rosa finally corners
Estella. She wants to know EVERYTHING about Luci.
Still on a high from their adventure, Rod and Luci continue
their walk along the river. Rod finds a perfect spot in the river near the
falls, takes off his shirt and shoes, and convinces Luci to join him in the
water. They sit in the middle of the beautiful river to exchange their vows of
love, then they begin kissing and some heavy petting that looks like it might
lead somewhere.
Avances: Rod and Luci might actually do the deed! Rosa
finds out the names of Luci's parents from Estella and collapses from the shock.

Super Vivi, thanks for the great recap.
Yes, pobre Rosa does have her very own bitch fest. The way she downs the pills, I wonder if she is going to have some fatal disease.
I do believe that Marcial is married because of the frequent trips as well as their last conversation. I hope I am wrong, Vio doesn't need a married man.
I could have done without the midwife thing. That is not a way to spend your honeymoon.
Rosemary Primera

Oh, Vivi wonderful recap as usual. I'm with you about poor Estella, I would have told Rosa where to go. Of all the nerve, that woman has.
Loved Pato going with Aldo to the bar. That was great, and he got to meet Lorenzo. How sweet. I am liking Aldo more and more. Like Conny too, what a very nice woman. Oh, Melissa and Claudio, what a pair.
Like how Luci and Rod delivered the baby. They are having a true adventure on their honeymoon, and I really am hoping they do the deed. One chisme down then and twenty more to go. I kind of like the fact that they haven't done it, and instead are getting to know each other. This way when the chisme hits, Rod will have all these beautiful memories to think of and remember how his wife REALLY is and not the chisme they will try to feed him.
Paz was so excited about the dress. I am happy to see her happy for a change and not such a downer.
Hannah ought to give up on Boris. If she has no feelings for me, agree with you Vivi, she ought to just let him go.
Rosemary Primera, so agree with you about Marcial, ITA about Marcial being married. He disappears too often.
Vicky needs to dump Max and go with Aldo, he is sooo much better for her.
Rosa is spiralling into madness slowly but surely. She is still thinking God is punishing her for Pato's accident because she gave away Aurora's baby. I can't wait for her to find out that baby is Luci. She'll have a major cow then.
Loving Pato. He is so sweet, what a nice guy, sigh. I like how he talked to Marinita.
Poor Padre Honesto. He really needs a break from Rosa. He never does what he tells her, to releive her anxiety and her guilt. She ought to listen to him. Rod and Max and Pato, and Hanna would be really pithed at her though. And poor Mati, she is riddled with guilt too. She handles it better though and has helped Luci out.
Oh, did you notice Maria, the pregnant lady, was Flor in MEPS sans the glasses.
Gala is just digging and digging. She will never give up her revenge plot, how does she think she will be getting Rod back that way, I'd like to know? I guess she is more intent on breaking Rod and Luci up, so she can see them suffer.
Loved Pato going with Aldo to the bar. That was great, and he got to meet Lorenzo. How sweet. I am liking Aldo more and more. Like Conny too, what a very nice woman. Oh, Melissa and Claudio, what a pair.

Oh, one more thing. Am really liking Oscar. What a nice guy. I like his thinking about Luci and Rod, it is the 21st century after all. Rosa acts like she is living in the Victorian age, where you need permission for everything.
Thanks for the recap, Viki, I am away and can't watch the episodes now. Loved when you said that Gala didn't know she was living in a telenovela.
I still think that they may delay the consummation to prolong the storyline, but since the wedding wasn't a church wedding they probably don't need to do that.

Thanks for the comments Rosemary Primera and Madelaine. Can you tell that my annoyance at the situation with Rosa and Estella continued through these episodes? :)
I loved the bar scene. It was so good for Pato to go out and hang out with Aldo and Lorenzo. Those two are young and foolish (but nice guys) and could use the advice of someone mature like Pato.
Madelaine, I agree that the more of these adventures Luci and Rod have together, the harder it will be to break them up because he is getting to know her true character, and vice versa.
Yes, something is off about Marcial. I don't trust him.

Vivi thanks for another great recap. Though I missed most of the episode you covered things so thoroughly I felt I saw the episode. Sad I missed Pato's night out but I'll find it on-line.
Poor Hannah she's confused but deep down she knows that she likes Lorenzo.
Vicky, Vicky, Vicky you will never be happy with Max and being a mistress. Even if you get paid.

Vivi, I laughed out loud at the title! So clever as was the recap. I thought "Padre does an exorcism on Rosa. (We wish!)" was great. I so enjoy as you take us through the events, step by step, replete with insight and humor. Enjoyed the embedded vocabulary. This was fantastic.
I couldn't figure out why Luci never told Claudio she was getting married - as you noted "(That *was* kind of thoughtless on her part.)". Yes, ITA. Leaving him out in the cold made no sense then, nor now. He's shrewd as well: "Claudio doesn’t think a real man dumps a woman at the altar like that. He should have broken off with her before". Unfortunately, only we in viewerville know the depths of Gala's cruelty. In theory, he is correct - no one deserves that. Well, almost no one. :)
I am really starting to like and care for Aldo. So happy he took Pato out. He only sees the person, not the disability. For once Max and I are in agreement that there is surely more to Aldo than meets the eye.
Still loving Rod and Luci.

Karen- The bar scene was very cute. Aldo has a lot of faults, but he has a good heart and I think he's good for getting Pato to see himself as a normal guy again.
Rosemary and Madelaine- Yeah, as much as Gala digs, she hasn't found any real dirt on Luci yet. It's funny how she and Julie think they are going to find some huge, dark secret in Luci's background. What makes them think this? (Rosa's real goal for digging is really about wanting confirmation that Luci is the baby she gave away. She doesn't seem to care about the rest.) The girl is as pure as the driven snow. They are going to have to resort to making stuff up to make it seem otherwise. Gala did say to Julie that her goal is to sink Luci and make her and Rod miserable. She doesn't seem to want Rod back, and said so. We'll see if she changes her mind.
I didn't like Lorenzo's thoughts about revenge on Lastra, or about selling his soul to the devil to make a better life, or the gambling thing. I see major trouble ahead with all of these things. Add that to Aldo wanting him to be his partner in this club business-- we just know those two will be creating all kinds of crazy schemes.
Rosemary and Madelaine- Yeah, as much as Gala digs, she hasn't found any real dirt on Luci yet. It's funny how she and Julie think they are going to find some huge, dark secret in Luci's background. What makes them think this? (Rosa's real goal for digging is really about wanting confirmation that Luci is the baby she gave away. She doesn't seem to care about the rest.) The girl is as pure as the driven snow. They are going to have to resort to making stuff up to make it seem otherwise. Gala did say to Julie that her goal is to sink Luci and make her and Rod miserable. She doesn't seem to want Rod back, and said so. We'll see if she changes her mind.

Diana- I have to admit that I was as swept away with the suddenness and romance of everything like Luci was, that I also didn't think about Claudio not knowing about the wedding until that scene when Melissa told him. I am as guilty as Luci. I am sure she will apologize profusely when she sees him, and of course invite him to the Church wedding (which probably won't happen till the end of the tn). I'm glad he found out from Melissa now, because it gives him time to process it before he speaks to Luci. Rod's going to have to work to gain his trust.
jlk- Not only is it going to hurt to find out about the affair, I think it’s going to hurt the kids even more to find out their dad is a lying, cheating, treacherous bastard, who would frame and put his best friend in jail for 20 years.

Thank you. I turned on tv saw something about a women being ill and changed the channel. So very happy to read your recap, thank you.
Seriously you have no idea how much I like Pato, the writer for this character should be congratulated.

Thanks Vivi. It's interesting to look at the similarities with the other series. The Kenia/Ass-G pairing in Abismo made me shudder, but here the Melissa/Claudio pairing is more palatable. Also I see Lorenzo as Luci's weak link that may force her to make difficult choices, similar to Cupcake and Miguel in LQNPA. I guess the plots that work are always repeated. I like Max, but maybe it's because in comparison to his wife he is the better of the 2. Aldo is a breath of fresh air.

Great, comprehensive recap, Vivi. Thanks!
I'm liking how Paz and Magda support each other [even tho I think they have secrets from each other.] Their scene with the dresses from the box was sweet.
Geez, how I spent my honeymoon! But they took their adventure in stride. Rod, quick on his feet and clever to use the onion! Unless that's some traditional Mexican remedy, of course.

Clara- I too wondered about the onion, but onions especially ones that have been stored for awhile have a sharp, tangy up the nose smell. I have chopped many of those, they almost take your breath away, they are sooo strong.
Bout Rod, he did something I was really impressed with that I forgot to mention. When they were birthing that baby, Rod got behind Maria and sat her up some. This is an excellent position to push, versus the laying flat on your back. It almost seemed as if he had done this before. And Luci helping to deliver, virginal as she is, looked like she knew what she was doing too! Can you imagine Gala in the same situation, I THINK NOT, lol.

After that birthing business in the het het, I would think twice about consummating that marriage!
I am beginning to wonder if Rosa is going to make it to the end of this TN. She is always taking some sort of pill. The previews showed all sorts of pills, they looked like M&Ms.

Howlingly funny comments. i too thought that after that birthing scene Rod and Luci would think twice about having lots of babies. I too though the poor Padre should just forget praying with Lady Loca and go for a full on exoticism.
Porr Rosie she just can seem to get anything done what with all the interrupts. A normal person might think there was a reason but all she does is get annoyed.
Aldo has started to grow on me as well. Loved him sneaking Pato out to a bar to let him have some fun and meet his new brother in law.
I don't have a problem with Luci not having mentioned getting married to Claudio. To her at this point he just a friendly lawyer/advisor. Only we know the real truth about the relationship.
I'm actually surprised that snotty Gala and her gossip selling mother haven't thought about planting a nasty piece of gossip is the local rags. That way they get back at Rod and can play the innocents. However as we all know sooner or later that will blow up in their faces.
Add me to the list who think Vio man is married. Wasn't he with s group of men eyeing all the girls in the club. I usually like the actor who ends up being the galan's BBF but he seems sneaky to me here. I like her as well she seems very level headed and her warning Lorenzo not to get involved with gambling is smart. Of course once again we know in TN land he won't pay attention. He is out for revenge against Laska for what he did to Luci so imagine what could happen if the blonde witch coven hurts her. What good novela doesn't have at least one revenge story line.
Can't wait for tonight when all of Rosie nightmares come true.

Vivi--You lived up to your promise. It was a vivi-d rendering of everything that went on. I'm glad you got a happy Pato episode. He's the sharpest pencil in the whole Torreslanda box.
I was so worried about the birth. How were they going to have a baby emerge and get rid of the pillow at the same time--by Rod getting behind her and sitting her up, which is actually, as Madelaine said, a better position to be in for both events (baby and pillow).
It would be so nice for Rod and Luci to delay their return for another couple of episodes before they face the three-ring circus (Rosa/Brigida, Juliet/Gala, Don A and Lastra) oh, I guess it's a four-ring circus.

Excellent as always, Vivi! Thank you!
Roselena: ISO this year's Premios BSC award.
Marcial: yeah - he has a Soprano's look about him.
Brigida: still scares me. I was thinking last night that her face looks to be carved out of stone. Only a coincidence, I'm sure, that this month's National Geographic cover features the statues of Easter Island.
Oscar, Pato, Aldo: yeah, good guys. Afraid Lorenzo is at-risk. A shame.
Maximino: at least seems to have a wry and cynical sense of humor about things.
Vicky: the outdoor scene of her and Gala in a car showed the extent of her facial surgeries. Shudder...
Rod & Luci: well, they sure have something to talk about in their old age now. I had to wonder why he took off his shirt and belt to wade into the river, and also wonder how long it takes for Luci's skirt to dry after wading like that. How will they kill the time it takes to dry their clothes? Can't imagine.
Thanks again, Vivi! OBTW, Emilia and were thinking the other night that Het Het resembles, in a norte de Mexico way, Appalachia and so my new avatar is Welch, the seat of McDowell County, WV.

Yola- I so agree with you and others that Lorenzo may just cause more of a headache for Luci with this revenge and gambling plan, and end up being a perfect tool for the people who want to hurt her.
Rosemary and Decie Girl- I had the same thoughts about thinking twice about sex after helping Maria through her delivery if I were Luci. *shudder*
Mike, they certainly do have a story to tell the grandkids years from now. Lovely new avatar pic. I can see the resemblance to Het Het.
Anita- LOL about Maria's pillow baby. :)

Aldo cracks me up! I laughed out loud when he went up to Pato, who was talking to Marianita, starts in on Pato about going out and then holds a finger over Marianita's head and say "Y esta?". This is right before he scares her away. Love him.
On top of everything else, Rod can help deliver babies? Is there anything he can't do? Well, maybe that part is coming up.
Was there a nice, telenovela-appropriate way for Estella to tell Rosa to #$%@ off? Or is that up to us to do for her?

Thanks for the recap, Vivi!! so fun read!
ITA, my fav line:
(repeat after me Estella—Look lady, I DON’T work for you!).. DUH!! why is this woman lowering her face to RosaElena???
and also it was very awkward that these two are in their honeymoon and they have to assist a birth in the middle of nowhere..
from personal experience, Rodrigo must have had quite a bit of first aid training beyond CPR and basic 1 day FAT to have done all he did... and know all he knew.
and i could not help it but when the guy with the plaid shirt and the machete on hand came in, i could not help but think of Gael from Abismo.. LOL!!

ITA, Aldo cracks me up too, and I am falling for Oscar, so add him to the list of my fav beside Pato and Luciana.
Mati is a bit too lenient with RE.
Mati is a bit too lenient with RE.
this is one of those novelas where i see the mother figure being a total nuisance, and i will need to take breaks from watching it just because i need to take breaks from listening to her nag and nag at everyone and self-talking martyr speeches.
Have to say I like the Padre here...
