Amor Bravío #90 (Uni 85) Mon 12/24/12
Do not miss this week's episodes!
Labels: bravio
One major thing that was glossed over--Alonso recorded his fight with Isadora on his blackberry; when he was sitting at the hotel lobby he was listening to part of it (and flashbacked) he then emailed the recording to his personal email.
And one minor change you meant to say that Francisco asked Isadora to ride with her but you typed Augustina ...
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!

Although Isadora was slowly killing Alonzo his entire life, last night she showed her true colors with the cruel way she tracked down and murdered him. I never had any sympathy for Ximena so for me it's a relief to have both her and Bruno out of the picture.
That said, Isa is my favorite villian in this tn. So it doesn't bother me that she's going to be around for awhile. However, Dionisio is entirely too cunning for me and I hate it that he's always able to cover his tracks. My message to him is thanks for rescueing Cami. Now that you know you're never going to get your hands on the ranch, it's time for you to leave and go settle down with the mistake you made of marrying.
Alonso, I was beginning to have some sympathy for him, seeing he was only saying he kidnapped Camila so Isadora wouldn't kill him and that he wanted to turn Dionisio and her in. He was also beginning to turn on Ximena.
Ximena, I never really cared for because she was a mean bi!ch and a thief and plotting against her own sister and allying with Isadora. Glad she's out of the picture.
As for Bruno, I didn't expect his end to come so soon. But his death by being rammed by bulls sealed his fate. That's what he gets for stalking Viviana, kidnapping Camila and installing cameras in Vivi's house.
For Dionisio, well he only saved Camila to play the hero, doesn't change the fact that he sent Julian to Chile to kill Daniel and ended up killing Miriam instead. It also doesn't change the fact that he did so many other bad things.
I was shocked at the demise of Al and Xi. But it was a very suspenseful scene. I didn't expect to see Ximena die. Why didn't she jump out of the car when they were being rammed? There was time. Will Isa get caught? Will there be tire tracks to indicate what happened? Will there be marks on her car to show she was involved?
Too bad the phone records burned up with them. And Renata, I did not know that about the recording of the conversation between Al and Isa and then sent it to his email. That should be found by Dan.
Foxy, I agree that Isa is a fantastic villain. In her conversation with Dion, she never wavers or backs down. She has every confidence in herself and she always has the answer and reaction to waylay culpability. She's great.
How will the scooby doos read Bruno's part in this plot? They know that he has worked for Dion, and they know that Ximena knows him.
Aggie was true to form defending her man. I'm glad Dan pointed out the obvious about how Dion knew where to find Camila. How will Dion explain it? That he just stumbled onto her?
I loved your line "She is going to the church to prey for him." That's the only way her statement makes sense! :-)
Wow, let's give the TN writers top marks for efficiency! Three deaths in one episode. I thought at first that either Alonso or Ximena might miraculously survive the car's trip down the cliff, but the explosion and fire makes that just about impossible. And with them perished the evidence Alonso had about Dio's phone records. Of course, the guy who actually extracted the info from the phone card may still have the card, but it's unlikely anyone will know about this.
As for Bruno--good riddance! I'm glad that Mariano is giving the police a statement, since he'll surely tell them about Bruno's death, and thus about his corpse's whereabouts. So with any luck he'll be identified, giving Vivi great relief.
I was glad to see that there was some point to Roman's being in the TN other than to look cute and be a playmate for Ana.
It will be great if Gullible Gussie gets to read Don Dan's letter, but I'd have felt a lot more comfortable if someone had talked about showing her a Xerox copy of the letter. Surely Becerra has a copy machine, and surely he appreciates the importance of maintaining the security of such an important original document. Ooops, I forgot, this is a telenovela!
Happy holidays, everyone, whatever your holiday may be.
UA - fantastic. Thanks a bunch for gifting such a rich detailed recap.
Can't help feeling sorry for Alonso. He was a mess but trying to turn it around. He didn't deserve this. I hope the Scoobies figure out that he's incapable of such master plan.
Silly fool Ximeana. Her lazy amoral self was bound to keep doing the bidding of the evildoers. But this will hurt Gussie and Camila.
So will Camila be snowed by Dio now that he's save her life?
Juanita, you're a worry wart just like me. I don't think we have to worry about the letter. Enough people have read it and know the contents even if it gets destroyed.
I'm glad that Bruno is a gonner too. I hated him. And I held up hope that after the car went down the cliff, that Ximena had jumped out of it in time, showing her standing next to Isa, but that obviously wasn't the case. And the more I think about her passing, the more I don't care that she's gone. She was a big thorn like Bruno was.
Why did he make a point of leaving his tie behind when he and Ximeana left the hotel?
In view of Bruno's brutal treatment of Camila lately and of Viviana previously, I thought his death was a good example of Televisa's brand of poetic justice.
Back in a few.
I can't read the phone screens either on my TV. And since we're supposed to read what it says, they don't put it in the cc's.
I was also wondering about the candle and the syringe left in the hayloft building on La Buenaventura. Is the close-up meant to say it will incriminate Mariano, who has admitted his attraction to Camila?
Not that any reasonable person would ever believe this.
Puzzle pieces to the truth from this episode:
-- Cell phone store clerk can serve as a witness and can easily produce another copy of the report he gave to Alonssso. He can also pull records of all the calls occurring in this episode.
-- Alonssso's laptop might be in the hotel room along with the tie.
-- Hissadora was too calm despite the suspicions about Alonssso.
-- Hissadora's call to Bruno was made from La Malquerida's land line.
-- How would El Diablo know where to find Camila?
-- Bruno worked for El Diablo (Viviana knows this) and was previously acquainted with Ximeana (Camila and Augustina know this).
Even though lots of people have seen Don Dan's letter, in a court of law it could be argued that all of them have a vested interest in preventing Isa and/or Dio from getting ownership of La Malquerida, and therefore their testimony is discounted. (I'm an overachiever when it comes to worrying. :-) )
I didn't catch Isa's eye roll, but I did catch the delightful mock kiss (well, a pursing of her lips) she threw at Dio's back after telling him her plan, a gesture that said "Ha ha, I told you I'm in control." It was the perfect gesture--I bet it wasn't even in the script. Leticia Calderón is amazing!
Take a risk, defy Dio's threats.
Thank you to all of the recappers for this show. Some of us have absolutely no access to Univision. I can only "see" this story through your eyes. Thank you very much for your efforts. They are greatly appreciated.
I'm disappointed that Univision chose not to put the daily episodes on their site, but luck of the draw I guess.
Thank you again!
She is deadlier than El Diablo. He gets off on threats and displays of authority while she gets off on the actual killing. However, I don't think she looks for the opportunity to do this because she is -- almost -- as careful at covering her tracks as El Diablo is.
Notice how virtually all electronic communication regarding the kidnapping of Camila occurred between Ximeana, Alonssso, and Bruno. Hissadora gave Ximeana her instructions face to face, argued with Alonssso face to face (although she didn't notice that he recorded the argument), and was never face to face with Bruno, who is now dead.
There could have been a witness to Ximeana and Bruno's meeting in the restaurant although they did nothing to draw attention to themselves.
I don't think everyone's testimony would be discounted about Don Daniel's letter. It is obvious that Alonssso married Camila to get his claws on that property on behalf of Hissadora and El Diablo; he was their stooge. I'm betting that none of them ever had any intention of paying for it and making a profit; I'm sure that Hissadora intended from the outset to kill Camila so that Alonssso would inherit it. We can speculate from there as to whether she was also originally planning to kill Alonssso.
She was careless in her thinking in this way: If she could dominate Alonssso as thoroughly as she did, there was no way Alonssso would ever be able to dominate Camila.
Anon @ 11:22: These episodes can be seen on Hulu a day or two later. If you subscribe you can probably go back to the beginning.
I LOVED Isa's eye roll. She is Queen of the Wide-Eyed Reaction, no doubt.
Besides the eye roll, did anyone notice the funny look Luzma gave FX? We KNOW the girl can do drama, but she may be a great comedic actress too.
Like you all, I was shocked that Xi was killed off so soon. And in that darling, off-the-shoulder hibiscus shirt. She finally got her wardrobe right and look what happened.
Isa said "it will hurt when she sees him (Alonso) pay", but she didn't seem the least bit phased after pushing him off the cliff.
Which was why she finally told Alonssso to submit to the divorce. If he died while married to Camila she would take precedence over Hissadora.
It is very likely that there would be some evidence on the bumper of her car... or she will do a trade-in or get it replaced. Either way she can be suspected of causing the "accident." She told the Justice League she was going to the church. They will remember this and Padre Anselmo will have to say "No; I didn't see her in the church."
Personally, I think she would spontaneously combust if she ever set foot over its threshold.
On the subject of wardrobe:
Best-dressed female last night: Hissadora. She always looks so apt in black and the necklace rocked.
Worst-dressed female last night: Viviana. She looked like she left the house in a nightgown.
The phone call to Bruno from Malquerida can still be blamed on Ximena. She was still there at the time the phone call was made.
Does anyone who is still alive know that Al was getting the phone records from Julian's phone? If no one knows, then they won't know to check on that.
Cathyx: I believe Al told Dan that he was getting phone records...
I wondered too about the candle and syringe. Didn't notice Al leaving the tie, BUT....
Al removed his seat belt when he was trying to push Xi out of the car... hmmmm....
Wouldn't it be funny if they are trying to identify the bodies and they see Al's fingerprints have been burned off, but MIRA! The nails are bitten down to the quick! It must be Alonso.
About our wonderful female characters in this AB: besides Isa's eyeroll and Luz's look at FX I really LOL at Nana clicking her fingers and singing "Les va a encantar, les va a encantar". Who gave her some Red"Bull"? (Salud?) Also, when Augie was storming out of the hospital and ran into Vivi who asked how Camila was, Augie snapped "Que bueno que ya llegaste".
According to TV Guide's website there will be an episode on New Year's Eve, which will air an hour earlier. AV will be pre-empted that night. I guess that Univision realized that AB's viewers would be royally peeved to have a pre-emption in the middle of such hot action.
Yola
Warning: Played for maximum shock value.
I predict Aggie to stand by her man, and Camila will have a hard time reconciling what Dion did to save her life, and what he's done to Dan. This will be interesting to see it play out. The phone records would be helpful to prove Dion's part in Miriam's death. If Al did tell Dan, I hope he can figure out how to get copies or at least find out where Al went to have the copies made.
I also think that there is a scene or two that was left out of the original broadcast.
Nana is so entertaining. I haven't seen her in any other tn.
What is her name and how old is she in real life?
Juanita, "Wow, let's give the TN writers top marks for efficiency! Three deaths in one episode." Ain't that the truth! It surprised me--3 baddies gone in one show! And like cathyx, I didn't really expect Ximena to die.
Juanita, also thank you for the La Poderosa in Alborada ID of Magda Guzmán. Though I didn't get it before, it was more about her voice than her looks. I knew I had heard that voice before!
Sorry UA, our tastes differ on necklaces. Hissa's and the necklace Pablo's mother was wearing look like giant millstones. I kept thinking that these women could drown if they tripped in a deep puddle. Well, that would be one way for for HIssa to go.
What a great way to spend part of Christmas! I was able to catch up with my telenovela...Yea!! I hope all of my Caraymates are having a wonderful day.
At least we know Camila is safe and Dio got an eyefull of how much Daniel and Cam are in love and care about each other.
About the rescue--I hope they address this little ooopsie I noticed. Hissy says she left some fabric under a rock for Dio to find. She did tell him exactly where to find it and that he was then to "follow" the drag marks left in the path. Here's my ooopsie--When Camila was fully rescued and got off the stretcher to go talk to Dio and then persuaded by Mariano to get back on--and other scenes as well, THERE WERE NO TEARS IN HER DRESS. In fact it looked pretty much like it did at the fiesta before she disappeared.
Speaking of the Fiesta--Did you all notice the stemware with the blue band around the edge? They got it back from the Refugio wedding just in time. Televisa must have a warehouse somewhere to store these things. I wonder where the Pear Robe is, Vivi? Maybe it has been filed away like the Ark of the Covenant and it's coordinates have disappeared!
Feliz Holidays to One and All.
Anita
Barbara--ITA about the necklaces, but it takes a powerfully secure woman to carry it off. Still, if it were any larger, they'd definitely fall over frontwards into a mud puddle. I think Isadora's pendant was abalone shell?
Do not miss any of this week's episodes!
UA- Sounds like it will be a great week then. I don't want to watch ahead and spoil the comments, which I would do for sure.
By the way, while we're debating all the evidence that might have been lost with Al and Xi's demise, if all else fails, these villians usually "confides" in someone who later squeels on them. Isa will no doubt tell Dio that she killed Al and Xi and he'll use the info against her.
One way or the other, I don't think the info will be lost.
I hope you all had a great Christmas. I had to cancel my plans due to a bad cold which I hope will be gone by the end of the week.
