Por ella soy Eva #72 10/25/12: Tell Her That You're Never Gonna Leave Her, Tell Her That You're Always Gonna Love Her...



During his evening of romanticus interruptus (the guy is like Wile E Coyote), Plutarco convinces Helena to throw the mementos she has of Juan Carlos out the window; "Do it for Lalito," he tells her.  Helena is green from cyanide poisoning and tells Pluto she feels bad.  He tells her it's just the emotional wear and tear she has just experienced, but she tells him no, she really feels ill.  He goes to take her out for some fresh air and Helena faints.  Pluto is scared and he calls an ambulance.  Pluto calls Silvia, and Silvia in turn calls Bastardo who has to find the phone under a pile of clothes.  He is his usual charming self.  Instead of concern for Helena he wants to know what's she doing out so late.  He says Helena doesn't exist for him anymore, but he shows up at the hospital anyway.

JC and Mimi are with a friend of Mimi's who helped them break into Pluto's house, which is in the middle of construction.  The women are doing their "life is roses" song, but JC wants them to get serious and help find Pluto's safe.  He discovers a hole in the wall where Pluto's safe used to be and gets angry.  Worse yet, he finds a photo of Helena and shouts that he knew it, Pluto is in love with her!

Lucia is pouting silently in the office with Renato, and he asks if it's because of the question he asked her in yesterday's show, does she want to sleep with him or not?  She says that although she's a modern woman, she wants romance and to be treated like the princess she is.  He says that's not how she behaved with her previous boyfriends (ouch).  She gets indignant and wants to know where he heard such a thing.  He says from Mauricio in Human Resources.  Renato admits to having a secret and Lucia tries to get him to tell her.  She runs through a list of women at GI with whom he might be involved, but he says he has other priorities- work.  They are bantering and in the process Lucia accidentally erases hours of his work off the computer.  He's not happy.

Back at the pension, JC is ranting about that vulture Pluto having eyes for Helena.  JC goes to call Helena to tell her about still being alive.  Mimi talks him out of it (again) and JC goes for a walk leaving his phone behind.  Alone in a park, JC cries thinking about all the times he's run into Helena and the Putz together.  "Por que, Helena, por que?" he asks.  Then he daydreams about their time together.  JC shows up at Helena's apartment as himself, apparently ready to confess everything.  The sitter tells him that Helena is in the hospital and he rushes off.

At the hospital, a doctor is telling Pluto, Silvia, and Ed about Helena's condition.  She has food poisoning and they've pumped her stomach.  But while doing scans they found a tumor in her ovary.  They have to do more studies.  Mad Dad snaps at Silvia for crying.  He tells her she is as irresponsible as ever.  (you know, this used to really bother me but now I just see it as more nails in his coffin.)  Mad Dad observes that Pluto must be very much in love with Helena to be hanging around like this.  Pluto acknowledges Helena's importance to him, and Bastardo tells him, "Learn to control her or she will do foolish things."  While all this is going on, JC sneaks past the lot of them.


At home, Marcela is asking Fernando about a broken sink, which he has "fixed" three times already.  He just wants to eat his breakfast (if you have a mustache in this show then you're always eating.  maybe the 'stache needs feeding).  He tries to fix it again and the water just runs.  Marcela goes to look at it and he calls her "superwoman" and mumbles that now she is going to show him plumbing.  She fixes it.

Renato tells Lucia she has erased 80% of his work and he needs to concentrate to redo it.  She rattles on and on about promising to be quiet until he gives her a look.  Later, they both fall asleep from exhaustion.  Lucia wakes up and cuddles in against Renato who is sleeping on the floor.  In the morning an Evalette wakes them up and asks an embarrassed Lucia what's going on.  Silvia calls Lucia to fill her in.

Silvia calls Eva's phone and Mimi answers.  Silvia tells Mimi about Helena, and Silvia gives her the description of the man who talked to the sitter about Helena last night.  Mimi realizes it was JC as himself, tells Silvia it was her driver, and she goes to the hospital to find him before he does something foolish. 

The doctor tells everyone the tumor is not malignant or life-threatening, but he wants to remove it before it causes complications.  Mad Dad continues to demean everything Silvia does and Pluto, to his credit, covers his face in discomfort (although better if he'd said something).  Silvia has had enough.  YAY!  She tells Bastardo never to dare to speak to her that way again, in public or in private.  He doesn't seem particularly put off by it, but viewerville is ecstatic. 

Juan Carlos is dressed as a doctor and gets a nurse to tell him everything that's going with Helena.  He approaches a sleeping Helena and takes off his mask to kiss her.  He is giving her words of comfort and, uh oh, in walks Pluto.  JC keeps his back to Pluto, while Pluto puts his hand on JC's shoulder and takes his arm while asking him to do everything he can for her.  JC is sweating bullets.  JC tells Pluto he has to wait outside and Pluto asks if he can give Helena a kiss first.  No way! 

Bastardo continues to fawn over Pluto and I swear he's watching Pluto's ass as he walks away.  Pluto returns to the hotel room and kicks out all the cleaning staff.  He calls Onesimo, tells him what happened, and gives him an assignment.  Rebeca is holding the USB port she stole from Pluto's room.  Onesimo saunters into Rebeca's office, leers at her, and puts his feet up on her desk.  She is angry and confused by his behavior.  He tells her he knows what she did.  She pretends at first to not know what he's talking about (desentenderse) and then tells him he has no proof.  Onesimo says not now, but she better step carefully.

Mimi is at GI and is still looking for JC.  Adriano comes in looking for Eva.  Mimi wants to talk to him and Adri says we'd better not.  He tells her he told Eva about Mimi's feelings for him.  He goes to call Eva and the phone rings in Mimi's hands.  He gives her a look.

Avances:  Helena wakes up with JC in the room, and says, "Juan, estas vivo?"

Great recap, Bill. This view was definitely thrilled when Silvia told Bastardo off and instructed him on how not to correct her "in public or in private." Way to go, Silvia.

JC really had the moves, blending into that group to get past Pluto and the others. Also to play the doctor's role, even with Pluto.

Lucia needs to quit fooling herself.

I actually have a funny story about cyanide. I used to be an entomologist and we use cyanide in the kill jars to collect insects. It's a white powder that sits under a layer of plaster. This was my assignment last year in Spanish class:

Dos amigos y yo fuimos a Venezuela para colectar insectos hace mucho anos. Teniamos veinte y cinco anos. No supimos mucho espanol. Estabamos in los Andes cerca de Columbia y habia un bloqueo en el camino. La policia eran mucho machisimo y serios. Nos dijieron que salir el coche y abrir nuestras cosas. Un hombre empezo abrir un matar tarro- tienen polvo blanco que es cianuro- y gritamos "No! No! Ponzona!" El estuvo muy sospechoso y nos dijo que volver a nuestro coche. Esperabamos por mucho tiempo en el coche, y por fin un hombre en un camion hizo senal con la mano que pudimos salir. Entonces, empezamos salir. No era bueno. Habia mucho gritar y ruido, y la policia vinieron corriendo de prisa. Un homber- el estuvo muy enojado- nos dijo "porque salen?" Pues, la palabra camion y la palabra camaron son muy similar. Mi amigo le dijo que el hombre in el camaron nos dijo pudimos salir. El policia tuvo la cara sorpresa, y entonces tuvo la cara repugnado. Nos dijo, "Vayase! Largase!"

Thanks for the recap! Loved the photo and connection to Wile Coyote. Ha!

Looks like the cyanosac is next to the ovary rather than the appendix.

Lucia, Lucia, Lucia. How she makes me cringe. I was sure Renato was going to come out last night, but maybe his big secret is the JC connection which of course is no secret to us.

ITHABILL...Not many people can say "I have a funny story about cyanide".

But I enjoy knowing more about your exciting background in Spanish and your confrontations with the police. Never a good thing, and when it's in another language, yowza!

Also appreciate the crisp, well-written recap and the pic of Wile E. Coyote.

Most of all I enjoyed your reaction to Bastardo--that his ugly words used to upset you but now you see them as just more nails in his coffin.

I guess the long-suffering Sylvia is about at that point also.

Look forward to watching this later today and seeing her tell him off! Muchas gracias ITHABILL.

Ithabill- Loved your story about your Latin American adventures. Glad you made it out in one piece. I once had a tangle with some armed border guards in Colombia. But a fat bribe got me back safely over the border to Ecuador. Good times!

Do the docs know the exact poison yet? Should Pluti being looking at the food and drink in the suite a bit more carefully? I couldn't stand that he was all up in the biz with the doctor. He's not Helena's husband or family member. Why's he making decisions and seeing Helena even before her mom?

My blood pressure went up with Bastardo showed up with his verbal poison. So glad Silvia told him off. I just wish the doctor had been a woman, to see his reaction. He seems to disregard all women.

Bill, thank you for this rockin' recap. I too agree with you about another nail in Bastardo's coffin. The nerve of this guy. I really think the only reason he showed up at the hospital was in case something happened to Helena, he could scoop up Lalito. I think that is really his main concern. Yay, Silvia for standing up for herself and I too wondered why Pluti was disgusted by what Bastardo did, but didn't say anything. Bastardo is a pig.

So Marcela has many talents, too funny. No wonder Fern feels impotent so to speak.

It was funny when Cindy came in and saw Renato and Lucia all cuddled up, too funny. I too think Renato's big secret is the JC connection.

I too wonder why Pluti didn't check out the food and wine that had been served at that dinner. But Pluti now knows that Rebeca has that USB. I wonder what she is going to do with the info on it.

Thank goodness Helena will be ok and no bad after effects of the poison. I'm surprised that poison didn't kill her outright. It's a good thing they found that cyst and pumped her stomach. I am glad she will recover and according to the advances she finds out JC is alive. Can't wait for that.

Great recap, Bill!

Oh yeah, big man Pluto can push his weight around with the doctors, but he doesn't have the guts to stand up to a spent old man. It just galls me every time Ed shreds Pluto's "love of his life" and Pluto just stands there with his teeth in his mouth. Yet another way he falls so far short of Juan.

I keep wondering if JC will recognize that the photos of Helena were taken while they were at Playa Majuaga. Will it help to know that Onesimo was stalking them? Does that advance the story?

Ithabill, thanks for this delightful recap--and reference to my favorite loser, Wile E. Coyote! Pluto isn't my favorite, but he surely has a lot in common with ol' Wile E.

My grandmother was an entomologist (MA from UW-Madison in about 1919 and taught at Manhattan State U before it was KSU in the early 1920s, imagine). She would have loved that story! I'll tell my Mom, though, who majored in Spanish 60 some years ago in college and will love both the bug reference and the Spanish one. Very cute story--given that you got out scot-free!

Eduardo needs to be hung upside down by his big toes for a while. Or something equally disagreeable. He's a menace to female society.

onedtJI was so happy to see Silvia stand up to Eduardo like that. He is such an ass but like Ithabill I've moved on from wanting to throttle him each time he opens his mouth and just look at it as more rope to hang himself with -- throttling himself so why should I bother. Still I just shook my head in wonder when he told Pluto that if he really wants a relationship with Helena he's better learn to control her.

Too bad about the safe. But I guess it's way too earl in the tn to get any real proof against Pluto.

The scene where Lucia wakes up & finds herself covered by Renato"s jacket & surrounded by his scent was cute -- as was her snuggling with him & sharing the warmth of the jacket. But the best was when they were discovered in the morning.

Will Helena really find out Juan is alive -- or are we being jerked aroun by the preview gods again?

Loved the recap, Ithabill, -- and the cyanide story.

Thanks so much for the wonderful recap. I am thoroughly enjoying this novella and blog site. Hurray for Juan for managing to use another disguise to be close to his love, Elena. I hope he doesn't blow it. Doble animo for Sylvia standing up to nasty Ed. Phillygrrl

Ithabill - terrific recap and Wile E. Coyote too. Whoa, your Colombia story is too funny, so glad it didn't turn out too scary.

Pluto should cut down Bastardo but he wants to stay in his good graces so he can use him to get Helena. Come to think of it the fact that Bastardo approves of Pluto should make Helena run in the opposite direction.
