Por ella soy Eva #155 2/27/13: The Episode With a Cast of Characters- The Wicked Witch, The Three Stooges, The Woman of the Year, A Liberated Woman and Let's Not Forget That The Teflon Modesto Got His Walking Papers
We start out with Rebeca telling Pluti that they are going to get married, no joking is involved. Pluti says that he will never marry her and Rebeca lets him know that she knows him as Alberto, Leoncio, Henry and Juan Carlos, may he rest in peace. He knows where she found the paperwork and Rebeca thanks Antonia for helping her and says that she will light a candle for her but calls her a manatee. (Its good to know that her anvil will be here before we know it.) Pluti is none too thrilled and is ready to choke the life out of her. If her touches a hair on her head, the fake ids will go to Adriano and to the authorities. She understands now that he needed the fake names to open up bank accounts (money laundering), which further involves him in the fraud, not Juan Carlos. She also blames him for the accidental death of Mendoza. She wants a diamond ring and wedding like William and Kate. She is out of her mind!!
The thee million dollars went to an account in Mexico in Juan Carlos’ name and one of his boss, another in New York. After Juan’s death the money kept moving and then disappeared. The genius Santi- realizes that someone used false identification to open up the bank accounts in Juan’s name. How brilliant!! He must have missed vitamins as a child!!! Eva/Juan sees that the names are Alberto, Leoncio and Henry, all from Grupo Imperio. Dumb and Dumber are going to investigate. They are like the Three Stooges with Eva being Moe. Eva/Juan says that this weekend she is to get married and the two dummies get carried away congratulating her/him on the wedding. Juan is fanning in between his legs and Dumb and Dumber look on. It’s hot!! The stockings are hot; I don’t know how they do it!!
The persistent client, Gustavo returns he wants to begin a relationship with her and he invites her to have a cup of coffee with him. Is Silvia into him?? Hmmm!
Pluti and I have the same expression as Rebeca pontificates about her 10 years with him. He tells her that their marriage wouldn’t last and she agrees, she will divorce him and take half. She is gathering the paperwork for the wedding.
Helena is talking to Silvia about not accepting the coffee invite but she knows someone who is getting married to someone that she doesn’t even know. Silvia wants to know why does she want o get married?? Is she pregnant??? They tell her about Eva’s pregnancy.
Dumb and Dumber don’t understand how Eva/Juan was able to fool everyone. They wanted her/him to walk for them. They were so entertained. Juan/Eva told them that Mimi taught him how to walk, talk, dress, etc. They wanted to know if Juan had sex with Mimi and Juan reminded them about respecting women. He never thought that he could be a friend with a woman but he is just like Santi with Lucia.
Pluti makes a crack about Helena being hysterical, and Adriano is reviewing Antonia’s thesis. Pluti starts talking abut how women have divided the company and Adriano doesn’t understand. Pluti insinuates that Helena and Eva are trying to take the company from him. Pluti lets Adriano know that Eva was with Mendoza on the night of his accident. Let’s get rady for the jealous rage!!!
Helena acts Juan what’s up?? Juan explained that he had an ulcer and had to go to the hospital. Helena is dying to see him and needs to embrace him and has lots to tell him.
Pluti is not sure but the description of the woman fits Eva. He insinuates that Eva may not be pregnant, you know how women lie. What a jerk!!!
Eva is fanning herself like Cleopatra and Adriano is having his usual jealous tantrum, where have you been?? With who? How do I know that you are pregnant? I haven’t seen anything medically to verify your pregnancy?? Adriano begs her to find out where was she yesterday?? Was she with Mendoza??? Adriano insists that they go to the gynecologist while fondling the gold statue. Eva’/Jan’s lips are quivering like a baby that is going to cry.
Pluti is on the phone talking to someone about Fitsa and that someone named Leonardo is not be available if anyone comes sniffing around. Pluti asks Renato if he remembers everything that he has done for him since day one and Renato remembers him being instrumental in his being Adriano’s assistant. So if Adriano asks about Antonia’s thesis is he free to do what Pluti asks of him?
Adriano wants Eva to go to the gynecologist and Mimi says that Eva spent all of yesterday being examined and she has the proof. She shows Adriano an analysis while Eva tells Adriano that she spent the night with her friend Eugenia. Adriano has to trust her. He swears to his sister that he will never mistrust her.
Lalito had a homework assignment- he had to write about a day when he was happy. He wrote about a day that he and Juan cooked like chefs.
Helena read an email from Lalito’s dad, telling him that he is sorry that he hasn’t contacted him sooner misses him and loves him and with Helena’s permission he will see him soon. They can communicate via email, behave and even though they are far away from each other he loves him.
Eva thanked Mimi for the “analysis”. A melancholy Mimi hugged Eva/Juan and told her about her day of examinations. How is Eva going to get out of this mess?? Poor Adriano. Eva is certain that with Dumb and Dumber they will bring proof very soon.
At Grupo- a man (detective) asks for Eva. Marsela says that she hasn’t arrived yet. Marsela takes him to her office because he has some questions about Eva that he wants to ask. Pluti tells Renato that the man must be investigating Eva about Mendoza’s death. Renato doesn’t get it. Renato is starting to put 2 +2 together. What does Eva have to do with Mendoza? Santi invites Vero to go out. She is surprised. She says that romance is in the air- Eva and Adriano and guess who?? Lucia? Santi is impactado!!!!
Santi confirms with Helena that Lucia is getting married next week. Helena doesn’t want to interfere but Santi can. She gives him a card with the address where he can find Lucia.
The investigator asks Helena if he can ask her some questions about Eva.
Eva arrives and there is a nasty exchange between Pluti and Eva about her miracle pregnancy. She wants to know about Fitsa and Playa Mayagua and the accidental death of Mendoza. Pluti knows that she was with Mendoza minutes before his death. Pluti tells Eva that she should be worried, thinking that the young man is asking questions about her. Helena congratulates Eva. The young man introduces himself. She has been chosen as the Woman of the Year.
Silvia (looking younger and sexy) is goes to get coffee with Gustavo (The nice man who bought the tree and defended her to Mad Dad) She closes up shop and makes a phone call. You go girl!!!!!!!!
Eva was elected unanimously!!! Pluti looks as if he is going to have to have a root canal. She was elected for rehiring the female employees and saving Jennifer. Adriano interrupts the festivities. Helena gives Adriano the good news. Adriano is overflowing with emotion. He mentions the upcoming nuptials. Pluti looks ill. Mad Dad is visiting Lalito and he is asking for Helena who is at work and grandma will be home late. It doesn’t take much but Mad Dad starts with the insults- how irresponsible, leaving him with his babysitter, Lydia!!! You are still a jerk- Mad Dad.
Adriano shares the baby news with reporter, who now can’t breathe from his bear hug. Pluti has to rain on the parade and say that Eva is celebrating a prize but she is involved in a delicate matter at the company. (What an asshat!!)
Gustavo says that at his age there’s no time or games. He would like to have a woman at his side, Silvia wants to know, what is he looking for in a woman? He wants a woman waiting for him at home with dinner ready, rubbing his sore feet, drawing his bath, and laying out his pjs. Uh oh, is she going to flip the table??
Lucia is trying on wedding gowns, she looks like a princess and Santi interrupts her. He is mesmerized by how beautiful she looks in the gown. He says that she looks like a princess too. Santi feels that she is not ready, but this is what she has wanted all of her life. She is not in love but when she is in love it doesn’t work out. Santi tells her that to love is no t the same as being in love. A true love accepts you even with your defects. She feels like she is a consolation prize or a leftover so she needs to jump at the chance.
Gustavo is putting his foot further down his mouth, he wants someone who cleans his clothes and Silvia lets him have it. In her 30 years of marriage she has never rubbed her ex’s feet, He is a macho who is looking for a servant and that’s not her. He tries to clean it up that a man needs a woman and Silvia wants no parts of it. She feels that it will become codependency. He wants a friendship first but Silvia tells him to enjoy his dessert. He doesn’t get it.
Pluti says that due to the lawsuit the rehired woman have to be fired again. Eva says that she borrowed on her shares of the company that Antonia gave her. Pluti lets her know that the shares will go down in value.
Adriano hears the banter and puts Pluti in his place and tells him that based on his comments he is no longer in charge. After the wedding there will be some changes at Grupo Imperio.
Eugenia and Claudia are having tea and she is telling Claudia about her plans for the play. She is in touch with a famous author. Modesto comes into to rain on their parade and tells her she needs to stop thinking about acting and her traveling show. Theatre is useful and he tells her that it’s absurd. He asks her if she is going on trip because he sees suitcase and she tells him, no it’s your stuff- hit the road Jack!!!
Coming attractions- Lalo sees Juan, Rebeca is back in Adriano's face and Pluti is still threatening Oneismo.

Tablet Jefa, thank you for your quick and witty recap! Your Three Stooges comparison was right on.
I thought Pluterco was quite cheeky calling Eva's pregnancy miraculous to her face but she did get back sort of with calling his suit "brillante" eventhough it was not one of his super shiny ones. I guess Eva has been noticing them all along. :)
It is fun watching Pluterco slowly losing his self control from his dealing with the murder of Mendoza, having to deal with Rebeca, to worst of all having lost the confidence of Adriano. i wonder when and where he is going to lose it completely.
I was so glad that Silvia recognized the "same old, same old" macho garbage even though it came in a more contemporary, goodlooking and overtly non-threatening package. She has learned her lesson well as has Eugenia. The packed bags were the biggest surprise of the episode. Maybe Modesto can start a third family!

TJ, thanks for the tremendous detail and love that went into this summary. I'm still watching here in LA and Eva sure looks nice in royal blue. Aah she just got a hug from Helena and isn't letting go...again. So the woman of the year is a man?!
I love your dry wit, TJ....Rebecca asking for PLuty to marry her..." There is no joking here." I also envisioned Silvia flipping the table over on her suitor, at least in her mind, Ali McBeal style.
I am still very concerned that the last person to be seen with Uncle Fester was Eva...at the restaurant ..possibly walking into the hotel/apt....and then in the hospital after the murder. Lets hope Eva can disappear or get abducted by aliens as one of you suggested a few weeks back.
It is 'jump off the fence time" for Renato. We know he's been confused and flinching a lot lately. Is he going to keep his promise to Adri to report any kind of fraud or is he looking for his next promotion from PLuty? Gertie

TJ: One thing, the money in one of those accounts was in Eugenia's name, not JC's bosses name. Pluti set it up to look like JC funneled the money to his Moms. Back to reading your most excellent recap : )
TJ: Thank you so much for this most excellent recap. Loved Rebe getting in Pluti's face and telling him they are so getting married, just like Prince William and Kate, lol.
Pluti's anvils sure are hovering right over his head. He thought that that guy was gonna haul Eva off to the jail, lol. He also tried to make Eva and Helena bad girls in front of Adri and I am happy to say I think Adri has now smelt the coffee over Pluti and now he is no longer in charge, YAY. He sure didn't like that.
Loved the Three Stooges, Santi, Fern and JC and JC fanning under his dress was sooo funny. Also Eva fanning her face with the feather just like Cleopatra while Adri was going off, too funny. Thank goodness Mimi was there to save Eva.
Good for Silvia telling that putz off. I am glad she is standing up for herself and being her own woman. Same with Eugenia telling Modesto to hit the road Jack. So good for her and Claudia. Can't wait for tommorrow's epi to find out what the latest dastardly last minute plan Pluti tries to come up with.
TJ: Also loved your title for this epi.

Thanks, TJ! Great recap of a great episode. So many men getting their walking papers...so satisfying. (I admit I kind of had hopes for Silvia's suitor, coz I *love* Luis Gatica, but I like the message she sent him even better.) And Modesto's "pertenencias" all boxed up and ready to go! YAY EUGENIA! Maybe she'll do the play in the prison that Pluti and Onésimo go to...

I suspect that the scene of Eugenia telling Modesto to get out is yet another example of a montón of deleted scenes. We have not seen him being a total jerk with her lately, nor with Claudia, and we have not seen her wrestling with herself and coming to a decision. Out of the blue, his bags are packed.
On a totally related note, have you noticed that we've gotten a lot more commercials this week???

Thank you, TJ. I especially liked your description, "Pluto and I have the same expression" as Rebeca talks about marrying Pluto. I can just see it, both of you slack-jawed.
I agree, Jarifa, that Silvia has learned her lesson well. I would have guessed her reaction to that jerk to be more subdued and confused. I was glad she told him off. Ali McBeal style. Yeah, Gertie, that would be fun. I'm surprised not to see other shows pick up on that way of expressing what's going on inside. What a great show that was.
The 3 Stooges analogy was spot on. I loved that scene where JC is showing the other two clowns how he learned to behave as though he were a woman. And the fanning between the legs while the other two leaned over to see what the heck is going on down there. Very funny.
Just as funny was the scene with Adriano where Eva is behaving as though she's Cleopatra. Camil's many expressions displaying a range of emotions was great. It's nice to see the comedy maintained in these ultimos capitulos, where most shows just ramp up the violence.

Thanks, TJ. I loved "He must have missed vitamins as a child" in reference to Santi. And to think, he's still smarter than Fernando...
Adriano was funny with the gold statue. I've noticed him groping it previously as well. One time he was on the phone with Eva and was grabbing the statue's boob.
Boy did my heart sink when Silvia's cute customer started talking about needing a woman to rub his feet. But I loved the way her face hardened as he went on and on, digging his grave ever deeper as he tried to clear the air. (She did try to explain it to him; but, true to type, he just wouldn't listen to her!)
Adriano demoted Pluti? NICE! How'd I miss that? Haha, Pluti!
Last night's episode was terribly calm compared to Tuesday's (which I still haven't seen yet), but I still got a good laugh when Eugenia told Modesto the packed bags were his. Haha, Modesto!!
Paula, I disagree that we haven't seen him being a total jerk with her lately. When she told him Friday she'd be doing a play, he ridiculed her and said it would be a disaster. And (also on Friday night) in her talk with Silvia, and later Claudia I got the feeling that she was already warming up to the idea of giving him the heave-ho. (Not so much wrestling with the idea as working up the nerve to do it.)
Come to think of it, when she told him she was going to put on a play, she had probably already decided to let this be his last chance to stop disappointing her.

I loved the comment about Modesto starting a third family! Ha! Ha! (And he'd better heed your advice, because families numero uno y numero dos want nothing to do with him!
My romantic heart wanted Silvia to have found a great guy, but he turns out to be a "Teniente" in a civilian suit!
I don't get why Rebe wants Pluto. Even half of his assets would not be enough to convince me! If it's cash she wants, there's the 3 mil floating around.

I don't think Rebe believes Onesimo that he has the 3 million. Maybe she thinks Pluti still has it and is lying about it.
And she keeps talking about those ten years, so maybe this has something to do with her belief that youth and beauty are her only assets. Now she feels as though she's wasted them on him, and she wants him to pay for those ten years with his own life.
Yeah, I think she wants to marry him and then kill him. Not just divorce him. That way she can inherit everything and be a respectable widow, instead of just getting half and being a divorcee.

Thanks for this fun recap TJ! They have really ramped up the comedy in these last episodes, and I am really enjoying that. Of course, I'd also like to see the good guys make some real progress towards unmasking the baddies too. But seeing Eugenia telling Modesto to take his crap and go was quite enough to leave me satisfied for now. I also wanted Silvia to have a nice romance, but I was very happy to see her tell the dude to hit the road when he started to list out what he'd like from his slave...uhm, wife.
JC would be having a major gastritis attack now, had he not just had that surgery. Here he is trying to prove he didn't commit fraud, while at the same time he's front and center in THREE major frauds-- 1) Having Adri's baby; 2) Marrying Adri that weekend; and 3) Accepting being named WOMAN of the Year! Gosh, so many people will be hurt by the revelation of all of this. I think more people will be hurt more deeply this time, than by his original (false) fraud.

They can't POSSIBLY unmask Eva before the world -- can they? Now that she's Woman of the Year, the whole country would feel betrayed. Maybe she can just pretend to enter a convent or something.
I agree that the show has been more hilarious than ever lately -- very different from Familia, my first comedy, which got very dark and violent at the end. I am still holding out for "gun fired" on my bingo card, though. :)

Blue, wasn't a gun fired Tuesday night? (I didn't see it, but I thought One took a shot at Mendoza, or vice versa?)
As long as the Woman of the Year thing hasn't been published yet, there's still time for Eva to convince them to bestow the honor on someone else.
Either that, or they'll decide that it would be sexist to withdraw the honor merely on the basis of gender. ;-)

Annick- I just saw your question on the last recap. Many moons ago, Spanish and LatAm studies were my minors in college (a lot of lit and LatAm and Spain history course) and I studied abroad in Ecuador my junior year. Since then, I've learned another language and lived in non-Spanish speaking countries. I refreshed my Spanish about 10 years ago by spending a few months in Costa Rica, but for the most part don't get to use it much. That is, until I found CarayCaray and rediscovered telenovelas three years ago. It's really helped to sharpen my ear for the language again. At least, that's how I justify it. ;-)
Too right, Vivi; that's why we call it a "study group." :)
Julie, I believe the gun was dropped before being fired. But surely Pluti has a weapon stashed away somewhere...
