Por ella soy Eva #46 9/19/12: A View From The Parallel Universe- Ed Gives Lalito To His Mother

Silvia is reading the letter that Eduardo left and is searching frantically for him, when she finds out the she is locked in her house.

Helena is happy to begin the second phase of the Mayagua Beach project and.  Pluto is still a little bitter over the inheritance and reminds Adriano that Eva has to bring in her documents  (passport, i.d., etc.) so that she can become an official shareholder.  A celebration is planned for the suppliers and the company and Rebeca will be the party planner. (Do I hear a leopard print party?)

Silvia realizes that she is locked in the house.

Pluto apologizes for making Helena uncomfortable when he said that he wanted a woman like Helena.  Pluto is a little down, because he and his wife didn’t have children. Oh, Helena is such a wonderful friend. Plleeeaaasssse!


Back to Dona Chivis as Eva calls her.  She calls GI and leaves a message for Helena.  (Seriously, I would have climbed out of a window or broke a window to get out, but this is telenovela land)  So she looks for the keys!! Yay, she found them.

Pluto and Rebeca are actually working briefly in this scene.  He is telling her about organizing the celebratory event and she is taking notes on her ipad. They kiss, but he is wishing that it was Helena. Rebeca is ready to get married and Pluto refuses-Antonia’s body isn’t even cold in her grave yet. They will have to wait.  Poor Rebeca she has waited for years. Estupida!

Eduardo goes to pick up Lalito at school, under the premise that there is an emergency. That old goat healed fast!


Helena was crying and thinking about JC and the last time that she saw him was at Lalito’s game.  Eva makes Helena laugh, with the song- Life is the color pink and they dance around the office as only Camil and Lucero can.

Just as Lalito and Eduardo were leaving the school, Silvia arrives.  She tells Lalito to wait by the school’s gate, because grown folks are going to talk.  She FINALLY speaks up and tells Eduardo that he will take Lalito over her dead body!!!  Eduardo is not well enough to care for his grandson, how will he take care of him, where will they go, you will ruin the boy. She let him know that he is not his father; he is his grandfather (I know that viewer Ville was cheering!!) Stay in your place, you want Lalito to be the son that we never had!!! (Whoa!!!!, I was screaming as if I was watching the Super bowl)

Eva took Helena to her favorite garden.  It was beautiful.  Helena remembered coming there the last time with Juan.  Eva pointed out that twice today she thought about Juan, and Eva did a little happy dance. (Not for nothing, but Camil has the nicest male legs on a woman.)  When she was in college, it was there that she developed the Mayagua Beach project.  They were so relaxed that they agreed to turn off their cell phones and bask in the tranquility.

Eduardo did not want to speak about the past, but Silva said we are going to talk.  Lalito is Helena’s son, Helena is a good daughter and maybe one day she will marry and Lalito will have a family independent of Silvia and Eduardo.  Eduardo tried to put Helena down, but Silvia stood her ground.  Eduardo and his suitcase retreated back home.

Helena was happy because she was living her dream, her Mayagua Beach project is coming into fruition, she and Lalito will live together, but she is still thinking about Juan.  Eva told her that wherever he is he is thinking about you too!  Helena thanked Eva for being such a good friend!  (Camil has that female walk down pat!)

We see the new opening for the show.

Oneismo (my goodness, he is always eating, just like Tomas in LFMB) and Pluto are talking in his office.  Pluto is a little ticked off because he can’t reach Helena by cell.  He admits that she is driving him crazy.  Pluto tells Oneismo to get his paws off of the furniture. He corrects him; they are feet and proceeds to put them on the table.  He tries to call Helena again.

Mr. Manly Mustache Chauvinist  (MMMC) is telling Santiago that his son is an artist.  Santiago doesn’t see any problem with it.  Of course MMMC is complaining as usual, that he will be a starving artist, but Santiago says he could be a rock star.  While he is hallucinating, Marsela peeks in and MMMC shares that Kevin will be a rock star.  Everyone is chanting Kevin and no one is working as usual.

As soon as Helena steps off of the elevator Pluto calls her (like a lovesick puppy) and wants to know where she was and she explains that she had turned off her cell phone. Of course Pluto has a surprise for Helena and Eva chimes in but Pluto pulls rank and reminds Eva that she is still Helena’s assistant for the time being and she has to take orders and he can give Helena the afternoon off.  (Am I wrong or didn’t Helena just come back from a few hours off?)



Loose Lucia is having drinks with Renato and he wants to know how old she is? (Hmm, older than him??) Of course she lies and says that she is the same age as he is. (Really?)



OMG!! Lalito is trying on Eduardo’s uniform hat and Eduardo is giving it to him as a gift and he does not have his usual scowl face.  Pluto and Helena arrive. Pluto wants to make an announcement- since he can’t have kids, he will pay for Lalito’s education.

Thank goodness Helena has the good sense to not accept such a generous gift. (I am impactada!!)  Eduardo is agreeing with Helena!!  Uh Pluto gives Lalito the pervert hug even Eduardo looked at him sideways, while Eva is peeking from outside.

(I really wanted to FF, because I cringe when Santiago says bebe)  He wanted to show her his motorcycle.  Patti told him that she would rather have a car; they have to think that once they are married, they will have a family, blah, blah, blah.  (What a waste)

A drunken, Loose Lucia is brought home by Renato. They have a drunken conversation about her age and then she proceeds to let out by mouth all of the tequilas that she had consumed.

Marsela tries to encourage Kevin to do what he wants irrespective of what MMMC thinks.  He should still go to school, though.

JC is frustrated in being Eva because he wants to be able to caress Helena but can’t. Pluto has an advantage over him.  Mimi gives him his “official” papers.


MMMC agrees to Kevin taking music lessons.  Of course MMMC is still thinking about Kevin being a rock star.  He will be his manager.  Uh Kevin is studying the harp!! Do I hear, The Philharmonic??

Pluto offers to pay Eva off in order to acquire her 20% of the shares. Modesto arrives and Eva hands over her “papers” to Pluto’s disgust.  It’s official- Eva is a partner!  Everyone is kissing up to her except Pluto.

MMMC is not working in his office, looking at a harp being played on the computer. Once again complaining about Kevin playing the harp, it’s not macho.


Eva has a laugh at Pluto ‘s expense.  Lets’ call ourselves the Three Galaxies- 3 Fs, the formal, the two fisted and the ugly.  Adriano lets out a belly laugh.

Loose Lucia in sunglasses meets Renato in the hallway.  Renato asks how she is? He also had a good time.  (He is too good to be true- what is he up to?)

Eva will be in charge of JC old department.  Adriano enjoys talking to her and Eva reminds him that they will be partners, nothing else.


Due to a timing issue on Univision, I missed the last scene. If anyone was able to see it please do not hesitate to add.

Great recap, T.Jefa. I'm sure I saw the last, but I don't remember anything past Adriano's attempt to kiss Eva's hand and Eva saying they were socios, nada mas. I was laughing so hard over that my eyes must have closed.

So happy that Silvia finally set evil Gramps straight on Lalito.

Another Eva funny was when she/he started to hug her father and had to cover it up.

La Paloma
 

Does anyone else think Ed's "conversion" came too easy? In the past, any time Silvia tried to say something important, he'd holler at her to shut up, she's useless, he doesn't care one cumino what she thinks, no one asked for her opinion, etc. She mentions the son they lost, and all of a sudden he turns into a pussycat??? I felt like they let the mailroom clerk write the scene.

The battle of the socios, Pluti vs. Eva - this is going to be fun!

Eva wants to see the financial records - good move! Of course Pluto covered his tracks, but he thinks he just needs to get one over on some vieja norteña who doesn't know enough to find dirt on him. He underestimates his opponent - bad move! Además Eva/Juan knows what to look for - the $30M Pluto hid somewhere.

Juan will probably overcome Pluto's defenses. What he can't overcome is plot armor. The most obvious next move for Juan is to find a public phone, call Helena, and tell her he's still alive. She'd be suddenly impervious to Pluto's advances, he'd have a chance to tell her again how much he loves her, and most of all, he'd free her from the crushing grief. But plot armor won't allow him to think of that.
 

Thanks Tablet Jefa. I really enjoyed this recap. Yes, I agree that the seeming conversion of Eduardo was a bit too rapid -- but then Silvia never stood up to him -- or reminded him that he is the reason that they never could have that son. So maybe. I'm just glad that she got to the school in time.

I was hoping that you caught that last scene. Damn Univision! I usually set my VCR to run 5 minutes past but last night I only had 2 extra minutes & Someone walked in to Pluti's office. I didn't recognize her -- it may be a new character (or I just didn't see her in time) Pluto looked impacto at her appearance.

I agree TJ that Camil has great legs & has the walk down. Loved his happy dance when Helena said that she thought of JC more than twice but had only told Eva about the two times. Also love the way he calls Modesto papa & has to cover up.

Paula, I love your "plot armor" metaphor. You are so right.

Thank you, Tableta Jefa. Parallel Universe, indeed. Yes, that wasn't the father of Helena we've seen. Maybe the mailroom clerk did write it.

OMG. Eva talking up the 3 Fs to Adri and Pluto- the reliable, the two-fisted, and the ugly! hahahahaha Poor Pluto. His face. It couldn't decide between anger and insult. This might be my new favorite thing. Eva and Adri taking pot shots at Pluto. He is very funny as the straight man.

 

Wonderful recap TJ! I also was shocked by how easily Bastardo backed down when Silvia confronted him and brought up "the incident."

I still wanted her to come straight out and say it in plain words. She was spot on when she told him Lalito is his grandchild, NOT his son. But then I wanted her to go further and say, "because you BEAT me and KILLED our son, and then I was never able to have any more children." She was very gentle in her reminder of incident-- too gentle. But, it was a start.

The real test is whether he allows Helena to take Lalo to live with her with no other tricks. We'll see. I'm not holding my breath.

Love when Eva and Adri gang up on Pluti and laugh in his face. Those scenes are great. :)

Lucia and Pretty Boy were funny too. He says he's excited about the job because it's a great one to get for having just finished university (mi carera), meaning he's in his 20s. Lucia starts mumbling and fumbling around about her age and lies and says she's around the same age as him. By the time they get to her apt, she's so drunk that she starts letting the truth slip, alternately saying she's 28 (the age when she stopped counting her b-days) and admitting that she's 30-something. LOL! There's more to Pretty Boy, but I can't tell if he's a good guy, or will turn out to be a bad guy.

The last scene was with the woman with the black hair who works are Taurus Agency, the one who helped frame JC because she was mad at him. She comes to see Pluti in his office, which makes him nervous because he doesn't want anyone to know they're connected. She tells him she's quit working at Taurus, and she wants a job at GI and wants Pluto to give it to her! He's impactado.


 

TJ- wonderful, great recap. Loved the ganging up on Pluti by Adri and Eva too. I thought Pluti's jaw would drop when Eva handed her id's to Modesto, too funny.

With y'all too about the Bastardo making a sudden turnaround. I'm not buying it either. I am sure he will come up with some other evil plan.

Liking that Eva wants to see the fiancial records too. Good for her. Now that she knows what she is looking for and who did it, hopefully she can figure what what Pluti did with the money.

The woman with the dark hair is Samantha. She is Maximilian Montes girlfriend/wife/associate in the set up of Juan Carlos. She and Max set up JC cause JC had a fling with Samantha and then dumped her and she was looking for revenge. I wonder what Pluti is going to do now.
 

Ahhhhhhno, the writers (AND THE DIRECTOR) whimped out. Just keep on believing and hoping while you remain in the same situation. Yes the abuser does have a heart and you can show enough gentle love that he/she will find their heart.That heart that will open up to that person he never respected/listened to/valued opinions from...yes one day it will be you. Parallel universe indeed TJ.
 

I also can't figure out if Renato is a good guy or a bad guy. He looks like he has something up his sleeve though. I really thought he would take advantage of Lucia, but he didn't. I like how she prayed to St. Anthony the next day when Renato treated her nicely. lol

Oh, forgot to add too that Vivi is right. Samantha worked at the Taurus agency, and now wants a job at G.I. That's who Eva and Mimi went to see about where could they find Max Montes and ended up in the old folks home with the wrong Max Montes. Eva/JC know who Samantha is, but I think Pluti is scared cause Eva has met Samantha, who was very rude the day she met Eva, and I think Pluti is worried if Eva sees Pluti with Samantha, the wheels will be turning in Eva's head, i.e. why would Pluti hire someone from a rival agency so soon after that encounter? Just a thought.
 

I think Lucia's new heart throb was very very interested in hearing about her good friend that is high up in the company. Good-looking new guy is just networking his way up the ladder. And Lucia is just Lucia. Her prince is out there but she doesn't know how to see yet.
 

Thank you for the recap, TJ.

I'm convinced that Pretty Boy is a corporate spy. But what do I know?

Camil's legs. In every other role he's had, they are very careful to hide his calves. If he's in shorts, the camera only goes down to the knees, or he's standing behind something. CONSISTENTLY! In this show, we see Camil's calves ALL THE TIME! Highlighted. Accented. Shown off. Why the change? For a man's calves, they really look rather silly. But as NJ Sue once pointed out (long before he was Eva), they are uncommonly attractive women's legs.

 

Thanks Tablet Jefa. Your affection for the characters and the story really shines through. Thanks for a great re-telling of what happened last night.
 

Thanks Vivi & Madelaine for the info on Samantha. No wonder Pluti looked a bit verklempt when she appeared.

Guera
 

wow. You guys are really up on the behind the scenes details. All that stuff about Camil's calves. Who knew?

And I agree with Judy, Tablet Jefa, your affection for the characters comes through.
 

Thanks, Tablet Jefa. Excellent recap.

Also thanks to everyone who clarified who Samantha is. I couldn't remember where we'd seen her before.

My thought was that Bastardo backed down both because he was a little shocked that Sylvia finally found her spine (although I'm sure she'll misplace it again), and because it's a common abuser tactic to back down and act nicer for a bit when it seems like the victim won't put up with it anymore. Give 'em a little hope that things will change and keep them from leaving. I think he's just buying time to try again with another dastardly scheme.

Pretty Boy is a mystery but he certainly is easy on the eyes.
 

Thanks, Tablet Jefa! Yet another jam-packed episode. As to why Silvia didn't even try a window, I noticed that the windows are barred.

I also tend to think that Renato is a corporate spy or something of that nature. You know what, I think he looks like Speed Racer (original cartoon) even more than he looks like a Thunderbirds puppet!

I noticed that the same photo was used in all of Eva's ID papers. I wonder if this could be a tip to someone that they were all prepared at the same time. People normally don't have any two government-issued IDs with the same photo. I wonder if that will be questioned.

Yes I thought Ed's conversion was too quick. I think it's a trap of some kind. Or perhaps he realized that Silvia was right, that he didn't have a plan, anywhere to go, any way to support them. On the other hand, perhaps he has a plan B.

The actress who plays Samantha was also Isadora in Destilando Amor. Just thought I'd mention it because it really took me a while to recognize her with that dark hair!
 

JULIA--Isn't Pretty Boy Germain (or whatever his name was) from En El Nombre De Amor (or whatever that telenovela was!)
 

Yes, Judy, yes he is. That is where I first noticed his good looks...and his acting skill. He was also in Cuando Me Enamoro. Also he was in Tormenta en el Paraíso, in which he played a guy who worked with horses and he'd hang around the stable shirtless...
 

He was as in Dinero as Rizos, Jaime's cousin. Samantha was most recently in CME with the black hair as the galan's rebound.
 

Maybe Ed backed down because the words, "our son who died" are his Krypton - he becomes weak and helpless when the topic is spoken.

Bill, the oldtimers on this board know I'm an anorak when it comes to Jaime Camil or anything about LFMB. Thus the comment about his calves.
 

It hadn't occurred to me that Bastardo might have a plan B. Humm.mmmm, he might offer up his daughter in exchange. Something along the lines of Plutarco I will make Helena marry you and you get her to give her child to me so you two can start another family. ? Yep Bastardo would do that kind of thing. I remember way back in that nightclub scene when he listened to those men with lewd plans for Helena and he just smirked and left.
 

My original comment didn't post, apparently.

It wasn't all that interesting buy I wanted to be sure to add my thanks for the great recap from T. Jefa!

Looking forward to tonight's episode where, according to previews, Eva meets up with Maximillian Montes in a Chippendale-type place. Woo hoo!

Mil in NC
 

Thank you everyone, I love recapping and I guess that it shows. It took years for me to gain the nerve to participate as a recapper.
Paula H.- You have given me food for thought in regards to Eduardo. Was the change in his personality too easy? I too don't trust Papi Chulo (Renato), he is too eager.
 

Tablet Jefa - Thanks.

Nope, I'm still not trusting Eduardo. Glad Lalito is a bright enough boy to foil any plot Bastardo might cook up.
