Por ella soy Eva #14 8/4/12: Love Hurts and Pluto Gloats




We start tonight with Helena at home with Silvia and Lalo. Helena is telling Lalo, JC won't be at his soccer game cause he is having problems and is moving to another country. Lalo doesn't beleive her.

At GI there is a meeting in full swing and the whole purpose of the meeting is to accuse JC of the fraud against GI. Pluto is providing "proof" at the meeting, Antonia's thesis, Pluto's work on the project, yada yada. JC pipes up the only one he stole from was Helena Moreno. She came up with this Playa project wayyyy before Pluto. He goes to leave, but Adriano tells him to wait, the meeting isn't over yet. The next "proof" JC is presented is the money transfers of 30 million dollars. Combine that with JC giving the Playa project to the competition (Helena) and it smells, looks, tastes, etc like FRAUD. JC swears his innocence and says he was entrusted with the Playa project and Ferni and Santi had nothing to do with it. Now Pluto brings in another "proof" one Senor Maxillian Montes, who Pluto asks if he recognizes anyone in the room. Of course he points to JC that's the guy. JC swears he's never seen him before. I think this Montes guy has some pics/proof of Juan in some hotel with Helena. JC swears his innocence and then points an accusing finger at Pluto and says he set this whole thing up. Antonia gets mad and says no way hubby did this. JC says this is absurd! He is getting his own lawyer to investigate these charges and he goes. Pluto is gloating.

Helena is in her office, crying her eyes out. She feels she was bamboozled by "Juan Peron" who is knows now as JC. He got his hands on her project and now she feels like an idiot. Lucia tells her not to blame herself, she couldn't have known who he really was. Helena is still crying when some clients come in looking for a honeymoon package. Lucia waits on them, they see Helena is upset and crying, but Helena blames the tears on allergies! Lucia helps them out and Helena picks up the magazines from the floor along with Santi's wedding invitation. She doesn't notice it on top.

Two police officers come to the front desk of GI looking for JC. They have a warrant for his arrest. Marcela goes to find him. Meanwhile, JC is in his office looking on his computer, and Marcela comes in, gives him the 411 about the cops that are there to arrest him and throw him in jail. JC sneaks out of the building to the garage and while a cop is ogling the girls coming in and out of the building, JC sneaks into his car and drives off.

Pluto is pithed that JC got away, and wasn't arrested and put in la carcel. Adriano can't beleive it, it is soooo bad for the business.

Santi and Ferni are upset too, Santi can't beleive it, much less that JC escaped.

JC has gone to his lawyer, one Lic Suarez. JC tells him he is innocent, but Lic Suarez says you should prove this in court. Lic Suarez will help him, and JC goes.

Helena and Lucia get a visit, and wait for it, it is the guys from the tourism board come to shut them down over this Playa bidness. Helena and Lucia are shocked, I tell you shocked! The clients see the lay of the land and high tail it out of there. Helena is very ticked off and she wants to know why they are shutting HER down. The guys tell her that she has to prove she was the one that orginially did the project. Lucia starts packing up the office and packs those mags with Santi's wedding invite on the top, which neither of them has looked at yet.

Adriano is in his office alone and he can't beleive that JC did this to him, when Pluto comes in all gloaty and sucks up to Adriano. Adriano tells him that the law will deal with JC.

Rebe and Antonia are in the bathroom at GI and Rebe is asking Antonia if she can beleive that JC did this. Antonia says that JC was always in like Flynn with Adriano and that JC is really a Don Juan and Rebe pipes up that he has done the wild thang with half the women that work at GI. Antonia asks Rebe if she is one of the ones that did the wild thang with JC. Rebe laughs and says no way, as if!

Pluto is in his office with Onesimo and gives him a pic of Juan to distribute to the media so they can catch JC already. Pluto is snapping his fingers at Onesimo telling him to git already. Oni goes and in comes Rebe. Rebe has come to gloat about that Casanova finally getting his comeuppance; they plan on going to her apartment in the evening, hot kissing and finger sucking ensue.

JC has ended up at Ferni's house. He wants to stay for the night. He can't go home to his place, or his parents cause the cops will surely go to these places first and he can't go to Santi's house either. Both Marcela and Ferni tell him no problem. Marcela is going to make dinner and JC is calling Helena but no answer.

The cops have come to Modesto's and Eugenia's house looking for their son JC. Modesto is way pithed and Eugenia thinks the gentleman are there with her contract and then she thinks they are the paps! She poses a bit, but Modesto tells her they are security guys coming to check the home security system. He invites the cops in, the cops are looking at Eugenia funny.

Pluto and Rebe in the tub drinking wine, eating grapes and gloating about how Pluto nailed JC with "proof" about the fraud and the missing 30 millon dollars.


The Next Day:

Lucia, Helena, and Silvia worried about what Eduardo will think when he finds out Lucia is staying with them for a while. Eduardo comes in and Helena tells him Lucia will be staying with them for awhile cause she is having a problem at her apartment. Eduardo, the male chauvinist pig that he is, asks what kind of problem? I think Lucia tells him it is a plumbing problem, water, water everywhere! Eduardo thinks this is precisely why women shouldn't live/be on their own. No man to take care of the plumbing (Note to Eduardo: Listen up you putz, there are some fantastic women plumbers out there, jus' sayin'). He wants to know how long Lucia is staying, only a couple of months, Eduardo is like say what????

Ferni, Marcela, JC, and the kids Jennifer and Kevin are eating breakfast with the radio on, and there is a report, sort of like be on the lookout for, JC who committed fraud and is on the run. Everyone is shocked! Santi calls about this time and is shocked too!

Lalo has come in to the family breakfast and is sad that JC won't be at his soccer game. Eduardo, the putz, tells him no worries, I'll be there for you, aren't I always?

JC feels it is time to leave Ferni's. Ferni insists on giving him his car. JC doesn't want to do that, but Ferni insists. This way the cops won't find him too quickly. JC takes Ferni's car and goes.

Pluto is in a bar with Onesimo, celebrating the JC takedown. Onesimo, wants a better job, or more money, whichever, anyhoo, he says he will spill the frijoles if Pluto doesn't give him what he wants, he'll shout, shout, let it all out, and Pluto tells him, these are the things we can do without, come on, I'm talking to you, so come on. (Sorry the song was playing as I'm typing, couldn't resist). Anyhoo, Pluto tells Onesimo he'll pay up.

JC is driving and talking to Modesto, his Papa on the phone. Modesto is pithed and tells JC the cops came to the house looking for him, confounded his Mama. JC tells him there is no tangible "proof" he did the fraud. Modesto doesn't want JC to evade the law, he wants him to face the music. JC says he can't, he has got to help Helena, Modesto is mad about this and says you could be wrong about Helena and hangs up on JC. JC is upset.

Lalo is sitting against a tree, by the refreshment stands at the soccer field. JC comes upon him with a pitiful disguise, sunglasses and a ball cap, and grabs him. Lalo is sooo happy to see JC, but mad at him cause he missed the game he promised to be at, and also cause JC made his Moms cry. JC tells him it is a long story, there are problems right now, but JC truly loves Helena and Lalo too. Lalo wants to know if JC is really moving to another country. JC doesn't know yet, but JC promises when this is all over, he will be Lalo's papa. Lalo is thrilled, hugs. JC asks Lalo for a favor, he tells Lalo not to mention what he talked about to his Moms and that he will miss Lalo muchoes and to take care of his Moms. JC tells Lalo it will be great, once they are a family. Eduardo is calling Lalo and Lalo gives JC a big hug and tells him he loves him, JC says same to you. Lalo goes.

JC sees Helena at the refreshment stand and pulls her off to the side. I have to say here, she isn't struggling, she is holding his hand, and going along with him. They stop by a tree, and Helena is pithed at JC for bamboozling her telling her he loved her, when all he wanted was the Playa project. JC swears to Helena he really does love her. She says she'll never forgive him for this and JC swears again he really does love her. JC wants her to trust him. Helena tells him she doesn't trust Juan Peron, or JC or whatever the hell your name really is, as a matter of fact, wait for it, YOU ARE DEAD TO ME! Ha! Juan hides behind a tree, cause Eduardo and Lalo are catching up to Helena. Helena is trying to rush them out of there, and Eduardo wants to know why she is sooo nervous and what's the big hurry anyway? Silvia is waiting at home is the excuse she gives them.

Pluto calls some woman at home, evidently some woman who did the wild thang with JC, she is Senor Maximillan Montes' wife/girlfriend. Senor Maximillan Montes, the fake witness, was her revenge on JC for doin' the wild thang and evidently dumping her. Pluto promises her JC will spend many, many, years in la carcel.

Antonia and Adriano at Adriano's house and Antonia is comforting her bro who is very upset about the whole JC bidness. He still can't beleive JC was a traitor, he was like a son to him. Pluto comes in all happy, happy, joy, joy that soon JC will be in la carcel and Antonia is happy, happy, joy, joy right with him. Adriano is just sad and cries.

Now this next scene should have been a split screen, it is as if JC and Helena are talking to each other, Helena is in her room crying her eyes out, wanting to know why she gave JC her heart, her project, she loved him, now she hates him, JC is driving and saying I give you my heart, I truly love you, You are the love of my life, I'll make this right. Helena says he wanted to be only her lover to get her project and where is the love. JC in the car swears undying love to Helena.

Onesimo is asleep in his wreck of a car and a cell call wakes him up. He tells whoever in on the other end, he is on his way.

There is a cop car behind JC as he is driving and the cop is running the plate with dispatch, cause it is suspicious. The cop puts the siren on, and now the chase begins. There are more cops cars blocking the road, and the funny thing is Onesimo is following the cop cars, and saying now we've got your butt, not really, but you get the gist. Anyhoo, the chase is on.

Meanwhile at Helena's, where lunch is about to be served, Eduardo has a little TV on the table and, wait for it, a report comes on about JC being a fraudster and that the cops are looking for him. Eduardo says, isn't this your novio, Juan Peron? Helena tells Eduardo, JC is not the man I thought he was. Silvia wants Eduardo, the putz, to stay calm. Eduardo tells Helena she got some 'splain' to do. Helena tells Eduardo that JC stole her Playa project and Silvia is trying to stop her from saying anything more, but Helena tells Eduardo that her bidness was funded by a mortgage on the house! Needless to say Eduardo is speechless!!!

Meanwhile, back to the chase. JC has gone around a curve wayyy too fast, goes over the edge and lands upside down in the car. There is a couple, close by, with a fire going and they had been canoodling when JC landed. They run off screaming! Gas is leaking from JC's car, which is near the fire, and then the car EXPLODES!!!!! Did JC make it, is he "dead", tune in Lunes to find out!!!!!

Comments:
My apologies for this being posted late. I had forgotten it was my week to recap Por Ella. It was a great episode, so now the transformation of JC begins. I can't wait for that.

Poor Helena this is killing her. One bad man after another, but JC really isn't bad, like she is thinking. It will be awhile before she finds out that Pluto caused all this.

I'd like to b*tch slap Eduardo. What a putz he is. Helpless females are no more dude. We can really fend for ourselves.
 

Oh, I want to add, that when I watch TN's I don't use CC's. So if I make a mistake, or got something wrong, please comment/correct. Thanks y'all.
 

Madelaine,

Thanks for the recap.

I am having a hard time getting into this TN, hopefully it will be more interesting next week when JC shows up in drag. JC's fake accent was driving me crazy.

Poor Antonia, she is really going to get hurt by the Putz she is married to. I hope that she gains some self esteem working in the family business.

Is Adriano upset because he likes JC or because of how the scandal will effect his business?

Rosemary Primera
 

Rosemary Primera, I think it is both. Adriano thought of JC as a son almost, plus he knows this will hurt his business, something Pluto never thought about. Pluto just wants to replace JC, but I have a feeling Pluto is not going to measure up.
 

Antonia went along with everything the Putz said, and then some, to frame JC. She showed absolutely no mercy. Also, she comes off as incredibly entitled, largely as a result of nepotism. And dumb to think Putz is anything but a con. I'm having a hard time drumming up sympathy for her!

This is a great novela!
 

Thanks Madelaine...I'm so impressed with your dedication and your willingness to do so many recaps...and for different shows already! It takes time, energy and skill to do these....Eduardo should meet you m'dear!

Got to see this episode and have a hard time with the macho humor. In the scene in Ferni's home where he kept interrupting Marcela and ordering her and her daughter around to serve the menfolks,(and swiping Marcela's coffee away from her) I was grinding my teeth. Mind you, there's a sociological truth behind all this. Turns out men in any country, interrupt women far more frequently than they interrupt men (if ever). Could be that's why I don't find those scenes humorous at all!

Thanks for the recap, dear heart, and for all your hard work on Refugio as well. I knew it was you when I got to that first "wait for it"!LOL
 

Madelaine, I appreciate your thorough recap!

I missed the part about Antonia's thesis. Was JC accused of stealing that too?

Thank you!
 

Dona Felipa- I'm with you about Antonia in a way. I hate that Pluto treats her like crap. She feels entitled now, but wait until she finds out exactly what Pluto did, and then woe to him.

JudyB- thank you so much. I don't like the macho humor in this. All the guys are sooo entitled, but Eduardo is the worst. He thinks women cannot function without a man. He should meet a really strong capable woman that isn't afraid of him and gives him what for. It would serve him right.

Sally- I think JC was accused of stealing the whole project including Antonia's thesis, which supposedly was the basis of all of Pluto's "work" on the project. We know Pluto never did a lick of work, he stole the whole thing from JC. They are also accusing JC of giving this same project to Helena (who we know was the orginator of this project) and they are also accusing JC of embezzeling 30 million dollars from GI.
 

Wow Madelaine! You're taking on another recapping gig. Thanks for your dedication. I couldn't believe that they shut down Helena's biz. She's really be screwed over and left with nothing. I applaud her for coming right out and telling Ed what happened. Not looking forward to seeing his reaction. I say seeing, because I mute the tv whenever he appears on the screen, thereby missing every nasty thing he says.

I think Antonia supported her husband because she truly believes he used her thesis as inspiration to design his project. She's not lying. She also has a grudge against JC because she heard him saying nasty things about her and her weight. I can understand her wanting to see him thrown under the bus after he said such cruel things about her. It's partly his own fault.
 

Vivi thank you and also thank you for the info on Antonia. I didn't know JC had done that. I guess all the men on this show are lacking. I don't really like the way they talk about Antonia and her weight, but for her sake I wish she would take care of herself and not let Pluto push all that food at her.
 

Viva, I totally agree. Antonia thinks her husband is a saint, so she totally believes that he used her thesis to develop his project. Add to that, JC flattered her for how beautiful she looked in the hallway that day, and she bought it, but as soon as he thought she was out of earshot, he ridiculed her mercilessly. So she has concluded, with good evidence, that he's a very convincing liar with a pretty face and a black heart. Along comes this accusation, and it lines up perfectly with her opinion about him, so she buys it, and she stands on that belief to defend her husband to the nine's. She sees her brother's affection for JC, and she thinks her brother was duped because JC is a charming liar.

I can't go too hard on Antonia, for not seeing through Pluto. He is probably the only man who ever showed her any attention. So she's completely naive about men who flatter to get what they want. And on a psychological level, she can't afford to believe it's a con. If she concludes that Pluto isn't attracted to her, then the next logical thought is that no man has ever wanted her romantically, and no man ever will. (Of course that's not true, but truth is not the issue here.) As such, it's much easier to believe in her sleazebag husband than to face the logical alternative.

I really think Antonia is the one who will blow the lid off Pluto's plot. In two cases, Antonia figured out things amiss in the company's operations - the bimbos who don't work, and the proposals going to the competition. She investigate's the company's operations, and she has good analytical skills. Pluto will carefully maintain his defenses against Juan, but he won't be on guard against Toni because he thinks she's an idiot. When something breaks her rose colored glasses about Pluto, she's going to discover his shenanigans and see them in very clear focus. That's what I predict.
 

Paula H,

I hope your right about Antonia and the Putz, her husband. What poetic justice would that be!

RP
 

Correction to my post. Pluto will carefully maintain his defenses against Juan's homies.
 

I think I understand the bit about the competition.

Antonia el ojo aguila (eagle-eyed Antonia) had discovered that GI has a long history of losing the best projects to the competition. (Probably because, instead of competent office workers researching and developing competitive proposals, they have executives having sex at their desks, and bimbos whose job is to walk the halls.) Toni discovered this w/i days of starting at GI, while Adriano, who's supposed to be running the place, had no clue.

I THINK (not certain) that when Toni reported this to Adri and Pluto, Pluto took this intel and ran with it - he hired a false witness to say that JC sold him secrets about the proposals. So Toni uncovered the fact of the lost projects, and Pluto embellished it with a witness who said JC deliberately caused it.

And about the three million dollars, I think that was the subject of the files Pluto put onto JC's computer. The files had old dates, so it made it look like he'd been pilfering money for a long time. (Though maybe the files were about the lost proposals - my cable stalled in that scene, so I had to rely on a YouTube with bad audio.) And I think Pluto showed evidence that JC bought something very expensive - again, bad audio, so I'm not sure.

As for Adriano, I think he's mostly just heartbroken that Juan whom he loves would betray him like that. Pluto keeps pulling Adri back to the damage Juan did to the company, and Adri lets him, but aside from el diablo in his ear, Adriano is mostly heartbroken about his trusted "son." Anyway that's my take on it.
 

Thank you, Madelaine! THis was certainly a juicy episode and you squeezed it real good! Pluto's gloating was insufferable.

I enjoyed the bumps (in and out of the commercial breaks) showing JC's transformation.

Hopefully at some point Helena will remember Marcela, or Marcela will remember Helena, and the day that Helena brought her proyecto to the office. Helena really deserves a break!

I wish that Adriano were not such an idiot. He's incredibly oblivious to everything happening around him. He's clueless about Pluto, he's clueless about what's going on in the business, he's clueless about the risk he's exposed the company to by discussing employment opportunities with the little chippie he's dating; and for heaven's sake if you're ever at dinner with your sister and she says she's full and doesn't want to have dessert, don't coax her to eat something she doesn't want. (And that's regardless of her weight and any health issues, really.) (Yes, I'm still angry about that 2+ weeks later!)

I mean, Pluto is a bad guy and it's quite possible that GI could fall to ruin or Antonia could die as a direct result of his misdeeds. But Adriano is supposed to be paying attention and not playing golf in his office.

Aaaaah, it felt good to get all that out. I'm done now, thank you. :-)
 

Oh! Where are my manners??? Madelaine, thank you so much for the recap, and for being such a trooper, doing double duty.
 

Madelaine - fine recap. Thanks for all the detail.

I liked that Adriano was hurt and didn't want to believe it about JC. He has a lot of affection for JC, like a son, which of course makes Pluto hate him even more.

I was hoping Antonia would have doubts about JC's guilt too. But as pointed out she's seen him behave like a rat. Like in the restaurant when as Juan Peron he tried to stop Helena from confronting Pluto (whom she thought was JC) by saying she was pregnant and trying to tag him as the baby's daddy. Antonia was horrified by his tackiness.
 

Nice that JC has somebody that loves him like a son. His dad sure doesn't!
 

Madelaine, thank you for the recap. None of the men have a clue, so far. Let's hope the women can teach them all a lesson, plus some humility along the way.
Laughed at the preview shot of JC getting his arms waxed and shrieking in pain.
La Paloma
 

Paula I didn't get some of the backstory about the money. I think you are right about that. Cause Pluto had Felix put something on JC's computer. I just didn't understand exactly what is was. I think JC saw this too, just before Marcela came and told him the cops were waiting for him, to arrest him.

Adri is clueless. All he cares about it seems as y'all mentioned playing golf in his office, not paying Santi and Ferni (isn't this illegal, by the way?) and dating his chippy. I really think Toni should be running this company, she is more aware of things then her brother or Pluto. Pluto is a true Putz. I am really hoping Tony catches him with Rebe.

I can't wait for Juan's transformation, that should be a real hoot. Then maybe he will figure out what a woman goes through to look good, :) and all the stuff she puts up with at work.

Paula if you want to watch a better pic and sound for TN's go on Hulu.com it's free and they show the TN's the day after they air. They are also in HD, very good sound especially, I can grasp it much better than from my TV.
 

Julie, thank you too. I agree with you about Pluto especially. I too hope Helena remembers Marcela and that she gave her the project.

I agree with you too about the food issue with Antonia. She is so good about the business, but she ought to look into her diabetes and research what she needs to do about that, but Antonia beleives everything Pluto says, as Paula says, I think Paula has her pegged correctly, it will take something major to wake up Antonia.
 

Lucero stated on her Twitter that PESE will run through October in Mexico. Since it started there in February that makes it an 8 month novela. About 150 capitulos.


Diann
 

Diann, October! CHIDO! Thanks for the intel. Don't you just love Twitter for stuff like that? Is Lucero a good twittera?

I was assuming that since they finished filming July 26 (per Camil's twitter, jiji), and the record-to-broadcast lag is often VERY short near the end of a TN, that Mexico was close to the end. I'm glad to hear that I was wrong. Though I love how this series is galloping along, a 130-cap TN would just be too rushed.

Madelaine said, "[Ed] should meet a really strong capable woman that isn't afraid of him and gives him what for." You mean, someone like Eva?
 

Paula, yes exactly like Eva! I can't wait for her to make her "appearance". "She" will give them all what for.
 

I know we don't talk about gossip on this site, but I have to add something funny I saw the other day. Lucero was dressed up like JC dressed up like Eva, it was a Victor/Victoria "luke" so funny, lol.
 

I will be very sad if it takes a man in drag to teach Eduardo about strong capable women. I'm hoping Helena will end up teaching him!

Julie
 

Querida Julie, I fear you overestimate Latino culture.
