Por ella soy Eva #82 11/12/12
Adriano and Juan get really smashed together - I bet they did a lot of drinking together like this in the pre-Eva days, and they are starting to seem like drinking buds (rather than awkward ~lovers).
They're hanging out with a remarkably-less-drunk Helena and Plutarco. Eva/Juan is not so pleased about the engagement, of course, and has something to say about it: "I must express my fillings or I will asphyxiate!" However, she's super drunk, and her speech comes off almost congratulatory. Helena lets her know that she's had too much: "le subieron las copas!" That's for sure!
Eva stumbles out. Mad Dad frowns and comments on the social acceptability of sloppy-drunk chicks: "a man drunk, meh, that can pass, but a woman? That's a deplorable spectacle."
Adri gets to take Eva home in his fancy car, and as they say goodbye, he tries to get his hands on her. But doesn't get very far. "You don't know what kind of woman I am." How true.
He keeps trying, though, and Eva gives him a good-natured but significant punch in the gut... It's all very cute, but Juan is clearly looking for an out (even as Adri keeps trying to get him/her back in the car).
Modesto's awful whiny daughter is pitching a fit about her room. Gawd, her forehead-braids are almost as bad as her attitude. Later, on the phone, she plots with her mom, and promises to be a little spy.
Mad Dad advises Pluto (orders him, really), to :maintain a strong hand with my daughter." Then he turns around and lets his poor wife know that he was always in love with her and other mushy things. Her: "Really? Then why the shouting and the evilness? Why are you nicer to dogs than you are to me?" Him: "Because I love you so much." Me (and her): "uhh what?" Her: "know what? I just want to forget about you." Yay!
At long last, with Mimi's help, Juan gets a smashed Adri to putter off in the convertible. Juan is really a wreck right now.
Pluto is now pushing Helena to move in with him TONIGHT.
Drunk Juan has come to a really bad place. "I'm a cockroach, a rat on two legs. God is punishing me." He looks even more pathetic in his half-Eva mode. "WHO AM I???!!?!? soy Eva Maria leon jaramillo, viuda de Zuloaga." Ugh. He gets a flashback to the proposal and smashes Mimi's mirror with a giant tacon. He gets even more pathetic and self-loathing.
Fortunately, Helena doesn't look that happy either, and contemplates the engagement ring. She doesn't quite know what's wrong, as she still claims that she thinks marrying Pluto would be the best decision of her life. She congratulates her mom on being strong with Bad Dad...Then she puts the ring on.
Juan: "I hate Eva - she kept me away from Helena." He looks terrible. He should do what I do when I'm too drunk to thing straight: eat some cake and go to bed. It bugs me that Mimi does so much for him and he never does anything for her.
I guess he finally does go to bed, because he has a dream about marrying Helena (funny that in the dream, he still uses the Argentinian accent).
Pluto shows his safe full of $3,000,000 bucks to his photo of Eva and practices looking like a ridiculously smug bastard.

Ezra, wonderful recap and so fast! I liked it that Adri and Eva were drunk they really were a hoot, but it was sad in the aftermath, with JC/Eva loathing herself/himself. I and too agree Ezra, Mimi has gone above and beyond the call of duty for JC/Eva, including sleeping with Adri to save Eva's bacon. Maybe he will do something later on to help Mimi with Adri.
Oh, Bad Dad, gets worse and worse, I am so glad Silvia is so not caving to his ridiculous image of himself and loving her She is right, he treats Silvia worse than a dog.
I wish there was a pre-anvil for Pluti, He has gotten away with so much so far, I wish Becca would come up with a tiny thing to put a log jam into his wedding plans, something, anything.
I just knew Helena would have doubts about marrying Pluti, I just hope she doesn't go thru with it. It would be hell on her and Lalo I think. And the nerve of Bad Dad to give marital advice to Pluti. As if.

Thanks, Ezra for the quick recap.
As usual, Adri and Eva were playing off each other to the hilt. I hadn't considered that Mimi's doing so much more for Juan that he is for her, but it's true. His scene with the mirror made me sad for him.
Bad dad Eduardo--arrrgh! So, he showed his love for Silvia by keeping her in line? I don't care how much it touches her to know she was his only love--just keep away from him, Silvia, and let him wallow in his filth. I loved it when he drank the sour milk and then spit it out! Serves him right.
Pluti taking the photo of Helena over to the open safe, to show her his three million dollars? OK, that's taking things over the edge from creepy stalker to madness. You are one crazy delusional rata, Pluti!
I'm begging for someone, anyone, to help Helena see the light and NOT go down the wedding path.

All the handsome 'manscaping' in the world can not make up for Pluti's creepy antics in front of the safe with Elena's picture. 'Elena my sister! You should be creeped out by the fact that he has that pic of you on the beach before you even met him!" Stop now hija! Thanks Ezra...you had me in stitches with your interpretation of this capitulo!

Oh, and what is Claudia up to anyways? Is this a spy mission to maybe get info about JC to Renato? I wonder. Claudia was so insistent on getting JC's old room, like she is digging for info on JC. Did Modesto say that the house belongs to Eugenia? I thought he said that but wasn't sure. Hate the way Claudia dissed Eugenia.
Thanks Ezra. This was a hoot.
Just what are Claudia & her mom up to, I wonder. Her mother gripped her belly and moaned after she hung up. Is she trying to get Claudia set up because she is dying? Boy that headband seems to squeeze all the manners out of that teen bitch.
Juan/Eva in his/her self loathing was very powerful. His "Who amI? Eva Maria Camillo? Juan Carlos lo viudo?" was so touching.
As for Eduardo?!? ¿Qué, qué, WHAT? His protestations of love are so sick. And when he seemed to say something nice about Helena "Be careful with my daughter." it quickly turned sour. Pluti assured him that he would be kind and careful not to hurt her. Then Eduardo warns him that if he loves Helena he has to be careful to keep her in line. What a putz!!!!

Thank you for your quick recap! I do not know how you guys do it.
Mad Bad Dad's house should be labeled a bio hazard with all of the spitting he did. Add disgusting to his list of attributes after this episode.
It was sad watching Eva hurtling out of control with her drunken binge but is was heartbreaking seeing JC so disheartened and lost.
I agree with Madelaine that Mimi has done far more than was expected and do hope that JC does his best to get Mimi and Adri together at the end.
After all this, we need lots of happy endings!

Thank you for the recap, Ezra.
I'm just thinking how Mad Dad's house must smell! Not just the dirty plates lying around, but he spits out sour milk and lets it lie there and fester, hoping the house fairy will magically clean it up.
I hate, hate, hate it when Mad Dad is so obnoxious to Helena, and Pluto just stands there saying nothing. He says he loves Helena, but it doesn't even occur to him to defend her. Just like Mad Dad, his definition of "love" is "someone to make ME happy." He couldn't care less about her happiness, as evidenced by his plans for Playa M.

Bad Dad is one of the more vile characters I have ever seen. He claims he loved Sylvia? Uck ptooey. He knows nothing of love. When he says she was the only one he ever loved, I think what he meant was that she was the only one he could control and make cater to his every whim, and he loved being catered to.
Pluti is at least more hilariously demonic. That giant portrait of himself in his bedroom cracks me up.
Does anyone normal keep pictures of themselves in their bedroom? Juan Carlos's old bedroom had a bunch of pictures of him, but I don't know whether he actually had them there, or if Eugenia put them there to make a kind of shrine. A lot of telenovela characters seem to have framed pictures of themselves on their dressers, which I find weird.
I wonder what Claudia and her mother want. Their house looks nice; it seems like Modesto is keeping them well stocked with money. Do they want to be publicly acknowledged? Is the mother sick, and if so, why would she need to resort to dirty tricks to get Modesto to take care of his daughter?

Thanks, Ezra! Great recap!
It did look like the Mistress Mom is sick - she must be setting up her daughter for when she's gone. Daughter is not doing too good of a job endearing herself to Dad.
It bugs me too that Mimi gives so much and gets so little. She's probably the nicest character on this TN.

Thank you, Ezra! It's good to read a humorous take on the miserable things that happened last night.
Madelaine, I did hear Modesto say it was Eugenia's house - but he may have meant that to mean "it's her house and not yours so why don't you have some manners, you little brat" as opposed to "it's her house and not MINE" which was how I took it at first.
Mad Dad spits on the floor in his own house. He can live alone forever for all I care. Eventually he will fall down, skin his knee on the bacteria-infested carpet, and die of some horrid infection. It's fantastic to see Silvia stand up to him. It would be even better if she didn't still cry herself to sleep at night.
What will it take for Helena to realize that Pluto "loves" her only as an extension of his own ego? The ambivalence she feels is written all over her face. Can't she read??

Julia asked, Does anyone normal keep pictures of themselves in their bedroom?
I think normal people may display pictures of important moments in their lives, such as finishing a marathon or playing at Carnegie Hall or even a picture from childhood, sitting at a favorite fishing hole. But those are really pictures of events. A portrait of oneself? Naco. Very, very naco. Which reminds me again, maybe Plutarco is from the same poor neighborhood as Angelica and Rebecca!

Yes, pictures of events, or of yourself with friends or family, are normal. But a studio portrait of yourself taken recently? Why? Is that for people who wake up looking like ogres so they remember how to spackle on their face and do their hair to get "their" look...like the process photos of the Juan Carlos-to-Eva transformation in the boarding house? I assume JC originally needed those for help getting into Eva mode.
Thanks, Ezra. Eating cake and going to bed sounds like a good idea.
I'm off to watch this now. Yeah, the giant painting of Pluto in his bedroom is weird. Helena gave it a funny look as though she was thinking, Really? And I've always hated the beard.
