Por ella soy Eva #71 10/24/12: The Episode Where There is Lust, Door Locks and Poison
Rebe injects the rat poison into the wine bottle. "This will be an unforgettable night!"
In Marsela’s office- Marsela looks over Fernando’s report and he teases her as if he was in school. It’s better. Marsela lets Fernando know that when she was the receptionist, she helped him but times have changed.
Rebeca is putting her poisonous finishing touches on the romantic dinner and Oneismo opens the door. (This room is like Grand Central station, no one needs a key?) Rebeca feigns tears of jealousy over Pluto’s romantic dinner. She insults, both he and Pluto. She acts like she is trying to find out about the dinner but Oneismo is paid to be discreet. He can’t share that info. She yells-naco in the lobby and he says oh, she is calling me flaco.
Mimi enters Helena’s office and Renato is at the computer with Lucia (drooling over him) watching him work. Mimi is looking for Helena who just left. Lucia gives Mimi hands some binders to give to Eva. Mimi notices the paint swatch wheel and asks about it. Lucia tells her that it’s Pluto’s. He is renovating his house and living at a luxury hotel in the meantime. Mimi is the last to know what is going on at the GI.
Daniel wants to go to Jennifer’s house while her parents are not at home. She tells him no, but he says, oh we aren’t going to do anything bad and anyway your parents know me. He just wants to watch a little TV and kiss. Jennifer doesn’t want to make her parents angry but it will be for just a little bit.
Eva is still struggling with the thought of being Adriano’s girl. Mimi shares that Pluto is not living in his house but in a hotel. Eva is ready to spill the beans to Helena, get rid of the wig and the heels, but Mimi isn’t hearing it. They have to go home and plan on what they are going to do and wear tonight, for Project Pluto’s house.
Adriano comes to see Eva and invites her to dinner. He is not taking no as an answer.
Helena reviews Lalo’s homework and he did it well. She is proud of him. Lalo is doing better in school. Silvia is happy to see Helena in a good mood. Silvia feels that Pluto be a part of a new family for Helena. Silvia has such a good feeling about Pluto, (remember that I previously said that she also had a good feeling about Bastardo too, many years ago) Once Lalo goes to sleep, Helena is going to have a romantic dinner with Pluto. Silvia is happy for her but doesn’t appear to be too happy inside. Tomorrow, Helena is going to look at larger apartments.
At the Eva and Adriano dinner, Adriano tries to hold her hand and his hand is slapped. (These two make up such a hilarious team!!!) Adriano asks Eva for a kiss and she says- under no certain terms- no way!!! Eva lets him know that she was educated with cloistered nuns, etc. etc. but he needs just a little proof of her love. Well, dinner is over. Check , please. The waiter comes over. No, never mind and to me it looks like Camil is holding back laughter and has to focus. She is reminds him of the sphinx. Adriano wants to travel to Egypt with her. Don’t be ridiculous. She tells him to dream about the company instead of her and they joke about her being a workaholic. He said that they work but they should also enjoy. He begs again for a little kiss. What’s the rush? Close your eyes. Adriano closes them and gets his face mushed.
Helena is getting ready for the date and has memories of Juan Carlos. Then she thought bubbles with Pluto and when he told her that he loved her. She looks in on a sleeping Lalo and takes the silver memory box with her.
Adriano is whispering in Eva’s ear and Eva reminds him not to take advantage of her and draws attention to him from the other restaurant goers. Adriano got excited because Eva’s face was close to his and once again, the waiter came over because Eva yelled, check, please. She wanted to go, she was sleepy. Poor Adriano, he is just being a man and he has physical and spiritual needs. Eva told him that no one has died from not having sex and she is living proof. Adriano’s great grand parents, grandparents, parents, none of the women in his family thought like her.
Pluto brings Helena to the romantic dinner. (He does not have any swag, he looks like a cat ready to pounce on a mouse) He is thrilled that she is there. He opens the dreaded bottle of wine and pours it into the glasses. They toast for love. She doesn’t drink. He offers her champagne but she prefers not to drink. (Stay strong, Helena!!!) She is the most beautiful woman in the world and she just appreciates him. ( I wish that I could ff)
Eva lets Adriano know that she comes from a respectable home and they keep their feelings to themselves. Adriano apologizes saying that his grandmother and the women in his family enjoyed what they felt they weren’t repressed. Eva treated him like a dog, she told him to sit, stay, etc. Eva said that JC was a gentleman. She asks about JC and Adriano wants to continue to speak romantically. He compliments her eyebrows and they joke about her painting them on.
Renato and loose Lucia are burning the midnight candle. He is working and she is giving him a massage and trying to distract him. He asks her if she wants to have sex or not??
Eva and Adriano are at dinner and Eva pushes the JC theme, she says that Adriano never wants to talk about him. He didn’t want to discuss, JC so it was time for the check, for the third time. Talking about JC is painful, he was like a son to him. He changes his mind and Eva thinks that he is going to confess something. But he lets her know that Mimi is after him but he only has eyes for Eva. She is the only one that exists in his heart.
At the Escuderos apartment- Santi looks like a boy that lost his puppy and Angelica is trying to figure out what is wrong with him. Is he still mad about her missing the in laws or is there a problem at work? He is ticked about the conversations that she is having with Renato. She is telling him things that he doesn’t need to know. She is broadening her horizons and is making new friends for Santi, then they have make up sex.
JC tells Mimi that there plan is not working because Adriano loves Eva to the bone and only has eyes for Eva. Mimi has a plan to go to Pluto’s house and JC does not want to go dressed as Eva, he wants to be able to breathe.
At the romantic dinner- Pluto is talking about some experiment that he did that exploded when was in school. Pluto just wants to talk about the present. Helena enjoys talking about his background and they continue to drink. They make a toast and drink and drink.
Thelma and Louise, oops, Mimi and JC arrive at Pluto’s house. Mimi wanted to break in but JC has the keys. The police cruise by and stop. They want to know what are they doing there and why are they dressed in black? (So much for where’s a policeman when you need one?)
Pluto asks a tipsy Helena to dance. She is thinking about JC and Pluto (who is not smooth) is trying seducing her and he just loves her more than any other woman.
They are dressed in black because they just came from Aunt Cahata’s funeral who choked on something. (I didn’t catch) Mimi thanks them for their concern. The policeman tells her to go inside and they try to enter with the keys. Is there a problem?
Pluto (who is like an oversexed teen) is ready to jump Helena’s bones and her phone rings. She is holding the silver box and Pluto takes JC’s photo from her. She always carries it with her. She was going to throw it away but she can’t. (Talk about being hosed down with cold water.)
Pluto has put all of his best moves on her, how can she still think about JC. (Maybe Rebecca’s right, he doesn’t have any mojo) Helena needs more time. Pluto disagrees. He has forgotten about Antonia and he tells her that Juan deceived her and she still thinks of him. He tries to throw the box away and she stops him twice.
The lock is not turning. Are you sure that you live here? A woman comes and tells them that someone is robbing a store. And they have a gun. She is s friend of Mimi’s. Whew! This woman can open anything and one, two, three, the door is open.
Pluto tries once again to throw away the box and Helena, takes the box and thinks about it. It was the first memory that she had. Pluto coaxes her, throw it away. She says that it was the last letter that he wrote to her before he died and she remembers every word. Pluto tells her that she has to start with a zero like him, oops at zero for her’s and Lalo’s sake. He swears with his lying breath that it’s the right thing to do. Helena is having difficulty breathing. Her breathing is very forced. Her eyes are like saucers. Pluto gets her bag and thinks that maybe she should get some night air.
Coming attractions: Helena is in the hospital and JC appears at her bed.

Wow... I thought that poison was NEVER gonna kick in. Isn't cyanide supposed to be a lot faster than that? And why isn't Pluto having any symptoms yet?
Thank you, Tablet J. I especially liked "Pluto tells her that she has to start with a zero like him." Heh heh. He really is acting like a horny teenager. And that was the world's most miserable-looking embrace that Helena gave him at the start of their big date.
So now Helena has Rebeca (of all people) to thank for preventing a big yucky mistake with Pluto. I'm sure it will be a long time before either woman will be able to appreciate the irony.

TJ- thank you for this great recap. Loved all your comments about Pluti. Ay yi yi, Helena is the only one that drank that stupid wine. Pluti drank the champagne. I hope Helena never sleeps with Pluti. I hated that she threw the letter away, at least she still has the box.
That dinner with Eva and Adri was so funny, lol. Love how Eva treated Adri like a dog, stay, sit, too funny. I liked the hand slapping and check please! too.
I really thought Mimi and JC would be hauled off to jail, thank goodness Mimi's friend came along. I hope that they find something for all their trouble. And they are like Thelma and Louise lol.
You are right TJ, Silvia's good meter is way off. First she thought Bastardo was so great all those years ago, and now Silvia thinks Pluti is so great for Helena. Ugh!

Holy crap for someone who doesn't like to drink,she sure chugged that wine!! You are right, the irony is that evil Rebecca saved ELena from doing the dirty deed with 'Cheezdi... Err..Pluty. On my tv screen the lighting guys made her skin get really pale..even greenish before Pluty ran off to get her aqua. Was that my imagination?..

I think the green face was a perfect expresssion of how I felt when Pluto was putting the moves on Helena!
Well, in addition to the bad advice she's getting from Silvia, Helena is also being encouraged by Lucia. Can you think of two WORSE romance advisers? (OK - Santi and Adriano are both probably worse. But let's not go there!)
The fact that she had to guzzle that much wine in order to get through the evening should have been her next clue that this was a terrible idea. But no, she was on a mission, and she wasn't going to let good sense or sobriety get in her way! Hint to Helena: if kissing this guy is that difficult, having sex with him probably won't be your key to happiness either.

Tablet Jefa, thanks for the great recap! Just loved "hosed down" and "zero like him," so perfect!
Hubby stood watching this novela one night for a few minutes and remarked (though he knows only about 20 Spanish words, all from crossword puzzles) that "the girl (Helena) is really, really nice, isn't she?" He could tell by her tone of voice, body language, solicitous regard for others.
What hubby didn't notice by watching that body language is that Helena's dumb as dirt when it comes to Pluto. For a smart chick who knows how to put together a dynamite project, she has a big blind spot and he's found out how to get smack into the middle of it.

Thanks for a great recap!
I hate to admit it, but I thought Pluti was kinda sexy. I was glad to see the seduction effort failed, though.
In the previews it sounded like Helena needs an operation, which is usually what happens when you drink cyanide, right? Maybe she had a life-threatening tumor that was found only because she was sickened by Rebecca's cyanide. Sounds like a good TN twist.

Marcelo Cordoba is super-sexy. I find Pluti repulsive, but at the same time there is apparently no way to squelch Marcelo's hotness.
Yes, Mil, it's that well-known surgical procedure to replace the cyanosac. I just hope they can find a donor. (You've all heard of the cyanosac, right? It's that obscure bodily organ that protects us from cyanide, of course. Right next to the appendix. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.)

Thank you for the recap. I found it particularly repulsive that Plutarco forced alcohol on Helena when she had already said she didn't drink alcohol to make the stupid toast. She is too much of a pleaser. I don't have much hope that Helena is going to be able to stand up to Plutarco. She seems to be going through the motions to please him and the others that think she should move on from JC's death when she clearly is not ready. She needs to smarten up when she recovers from a totally avoidable cyanide poisoning!

Tablet Jefa - Thanks for the fun. My favorite: "She is the most beautiful woman in the world and she just appreciates him. (I wish that I could ff)"
Pluti, you wouldn't have to work so hard if she were really into you. I think this has become about besting JC. Any of the women at GI or anywhere else would be happy to get with Pluti, but Helena is a challenge to him. At least she was before the wine.
I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before Adriano catches Eva off guard and plants a kiss on her lips. Like when you fall asleep on the couch and your dog licks your face.

Thank you Tablet jefa. I couldn't follow a lot of what went on between Adriano and Eva, although the physical comedy was funny, and you cleared it up for me. The bit with her repeatedly yelling for la cuenta, and Adriano shouting no cuenta was funny.
Marcela and Fernando do love each other, and although he is an ass I think it's a mistake for her to accept supervision of him. It one thing for her to not cover up her own abilities to please him, but it's quite another for her to correct his work. It doesn't seem good for a personal relationship, regardless of the genders of the people involved.
Like Julie said, who in their right mind would take relationship advice from Silvia or Lucia?? Yeah, Helena did look green in those final scenes. Poor Pluti- not the response he was hoping for to his best moves. haha

Great recap, Tablet Jefa...I loved all your little asides. Only saw a few minutes of this but your recap makes me want to see more!
Interesting how oh-so-hawt Marcelo Cordoba can become repulsive as Plutarcho...I hated the way he kept pushing Helena to throw away the contents of the box.
And agree with Ithabill's observation that correcting a loved one's mistakes can be a "love buster". Especially with a tender male ego. Hope the hierarchy gets shifted around somehow.

No! No! Don't drink it, Helena -- I was screaming at the TV. I too was confused by the mention of an operation. But this is telenovela land and a nice long coma will serve the cause of the plot. It looks as if it will throw Silvia & Bastardo together. I hope that's not a bad thing. Then there's JC at the bedside of his beloved. Will anything come of that? At the very least it will keep Helena out of Pluti's bed for a while.
When will Rebecca realize that she could get the dirt on Plutarco if she seduces Onesimo? He's primed and ready.

Niecie, now I have a mental image of a big golden retriever that looks like Adriano. Thanks for that. ;-)
Right now they're showing the last few minutes from last night, and wow! Her face really did take on a greenish cast and it really did look as though it was a lighting trick. Good catch, Anon 12:01!
