CI Cap 12 : Separation Anxiety Redux
capítulo 12
So
Octavio’s gone to Ramiro’s hut to force the truth out of Maricruz. “—Why did you hit Lucia?” Maricruz doesn’t exactly say it was because Lucia
damned well was asking for it and had been for the last few weeks; or, that if
she’d only been about a foot taller she’d have managed to land a good one
smack-dab on that snooty puss’s crabby kisser! Maricruz does throw Viewerville a bit of red
meat however answering self-righteously that it was because Lucia was spouting
off about how it must have been Tav who shot Jose Antonio out of jealously! “—Well now because of that you can’t come
back to the ranch!” Is it because he
doesn’t love her? No, it’s because she
tried to resolve things through aggression.
(Ok. But I don’t think Maricruz
is quite ready to grasp the concept of ‘conflict resolution’. Something tells me she wouldn’t exactly be a big believer.) Anyway, she’s stuck with Gramps while he
figures out where in the friggin’ hell he can take her and put her. He sure as shootin’ isn’t going to live in
the hut with them! (Oh?? Why not?) “--We’re married….Please just lock me in our room all day, but do-o-o-o-o-n’t
abandon me-e-e-e-e!” She clings like Saran Wrap. Tav looks… trapped.
In Lucia’s
room, Ester and Lucia are in a convo and she’s worried that she and Ester might
be “found out”. Ester really took things a bit far. “--Naw. Not one bit! When you want things
done right, you gotta take things into your own hands.” Ester had apparently taken things to a much
higher—or lower depending on your particular point of view—level than Lucia had thought to with her mischievous
scheming. (My CC were on the fritz for
the first 10 minutes or so and this actress was mumbling badly, so correct me
if I’m wrong here.) “--Besides no one
saw anything, especially Jose Antonio; and he didn’t die.” (Was that owing to
her being a poor shot or not?) It should
never ever come back to bite them on their bad-ass babes’ backsides. Well, just so that Maricruz doesn’t come back
to the house, Lucia declares with a far off stare, because she doesn’t know
what she’d be capable of doing then!
Back at
the hut, Mari’s on her knees now, begging for Tav to take her back. He won’t and claims she’s too much of a
tactless oaf [torpe] and always doing everything wrong. Ramiro returns and yells at her to stop
begging and then motions for Tav to leave quickly. He obliges and gallops off. Her upset is too much and Maricruz
faints. [Preggers alert!!] Ramiro, panicked now, picks up his
granddaughter and starts screaming in the direction of the hacienda that Tav
has killed her, the bloody bastard!! He’s
killed her!!
Lucia’s now
downstairs and asks Eusebio, that ol’ whippersnapper [¡Vámonos! ] of a rotten ranch foreman, if he knows who might have
shot JosA. He doesn’t. They catch La India Maria walking through
with bags full of food for Ramiro and MC.
The two of them have a fit and Ewwwsebio actually lets go of his whip long enough to wrestle away the bags. From
now on she’s not allowed to take food to the hut. “—But, she’s still Don Octavio’s
Missus!” Lucia tells her that if she
dares deliver food or even visits that trash again she’ll be fired.
Ester,
Lucia and Miguel are in the living room when Tav returns. Nope, JosA doesn’t know who shot him,
says Tav, and JosA doesn’t have any enemies that he knows of. “—Sure he does, he just doesn’t know
it. At least we are free of suspicion so
go eat something and relax.” Tav stares
over at Lucia and Ester who can’t look him in the eye. “—But Maricruz is suspected of it. Maricruz
is a victim in all of this.” Lucia’s
eyebrows go up. “—What do you mean by
that?” Well, everyone is blaming her for
it all! “--Not to worry, tho’. She won’t be back and won’t hurt you
again.” “—Hurt me?? She could kill me!” “--Not a chance. You haven’t a thing to fear!” He then cuts his bro off in mid-sentence and
angrily heads upstairs to bed.
Lucia races over to Miguel with a huge smile of triumph on her face. “—Finally!” Ester pats her on the back. ”---Didn’t I tell you?” Miguel, usually slow on the uptake, starts to put it together. “—You mean this was all your doing?” Ester realizes her big Ooops! as Cuz Lucia quickly covers for them. “--Oh, nooooo! But I’m soooooo happy that it happened, so very happy!”

But I’m soooooo happy that it happened, so very happy!”
The next
morning Miguel goes into town to give his statement to the police. This cop, Comandante
Suspector, who is apparently bored with his run of the mill
chicken-snatching and drunk-and-disorderlies, is rather eager to solve this case. He looks menacingly over at Mig. “—Tell me everything
that you know!”
Lucia may
be having second thoughts. Ester tells
her that at least the girl is out of their hair and if Lucia sticks to her
guns, she’ll never be back, either.
Com. Suspector
listens to Miguel’s story and suspects it was no mere accident. “--An act of jealousy is more likely!” Tav wasn’t jealous of him, says Miguel. “--Perhaps Jose Antonio was shot due to a
jealous third party that had nothing to do with your brother.” For example, JosA could have a girlfriend
that Octavio’s wife was jealous of.
MC tells
Ramiro she’s going to the hacienda to see if Santa will feed her. It’s been days since they left food at the
hut and she’s starving.
Santa and
Maria are happy to see Mari again. She
explains she’s been barred from coming back because she whacked Sra.
Lucia. Santa asks if she knows who shot
JosA. “—Nope. Didn’t see a thing.” Maria scolds her for ignoring her
advice. “—We went riding for the last
time and I was telling him I couldn’t anymore because I was married, but then
suddenly he got shot.” She tells them
then that it’s been a couple days since they left them any food and she’s
starving. The women start to get her some food ready and just then Ewwwwsebio
walks in on them. He slaps his whip ¡Vámanos! and screams at Mari to get the
hell off the property! Santa tells him
to show some respect for Don Octavio’s wife!
“--Ha! She’s nothing around here
anymore and she has only herself to blame!”
He looks over at her again.
“--Who shot Jose Antonio? Must
have been one of your lovers, huh!”
Santa stands her ground and so does Ewwwsebio. “--Yeah, well we’’ll just see if Sra. Lucia thinks the same as you!” He heads off. The ladies scurry to get the food together or at least to have her eat with them, but MC races off beforehand.

Ewwwy
blabs to Lucia who races into the kitchen.
She doesn’t want any “strangers” let into her kitchen. Excuse me, the two tell Lucia, but she’s Don
Octavio’s wife and he’s an owner of the ranch the same as Don Miguel. Doesn’t matter. She doesn’t live here anymore. “--I’m the only Sra. in this house.” (Gawd and she’s spawning, too!)
Tav, the brash, brown-eyed, broad-shouldered, babe-alicious hombre de la hora, strolls into the kitchen just then. Lucia shuts up toots sweet, but Maria isn’t going to let that sleeping dog lay let alone lie. “—Let’s see what Don Octavio here has to say.” Maria explains MC’s predicament and their point of view there in the kitchen and says they’ve been bawled out about it because Ewwwsebio ran and blabbed his head off to Sra. Lucia.
Tav is rightly incensed and orders food enough for three. Tav then turns to Lucia, totally exasperated. He tells her while the kitchen help’s ears grow the size of jack rabbits, that from now on he will be taking the food to the hut. “--Why hasn’t she eaten? Who ordered the food stopped.” “--Why I did.” “--For the nth time [enésima vez], I am just as much an owner in this house as you and Miguel. If you have a problem with Maricruz you come to me first. She’s been roaming around this ranch like a starving dog. What kind of people are you and Miguel, anyway?“ “—She is just a product of her environment.” We here are all to blame, he corrects her, for the environment, all of wicked humankind…. She sniffs at him. Cara de you’re such a sick puppy de Lucia.

On the
coast where Alejandro’s sinking gambling ship is docked, we watch Teobaldo, an
apparent descendant of Quasimodo who made it to The New World somewhere along
the line, tending tenderly to his roses.
Carola arrives and Teo (her ship's manager/first mate?) makes the mistake of trying to hold a polite
conversation with her. She notices through
one of the windows some sick looking woman on the dock--obviously bad for
business—and orders Teo to chase her away.
Teo goes out to shoo her away and decides to question the girl. He learns that the girl lost her waitress's job and hasn’t eaten for a couple of days. She’s got nowhere else to go and no coin to get a ticket back home, but she heard they were hiring here. Not true, he tells her. Teo has a soft heart and puts her up in his little bungalow where he makes her a bite to eat. (Maybe he could offer her the shower while he’s at it, and some sweats before she eats and crashes on the couch?) She begs him to ask his boss to give her a job of some sort. He isn’t very hopeful but promises to try. Somehow Viewerville knows instinctively that Carola will give in…and she does.

The next day? Tav and Mig are excited about their prospects as cattle ranchers what with the stud bulls they’ve loaned out for their cows. Along comes Mari and asks if she can work alongside Tav. Nothin’ doin’, he tells her. It’s man’s work. He succeeds in deflecting and talks her into living at Gramp’s hut till he gets a small house built for them to live in. Still, she doesn’t want to wait. She promises to be good now, despite her SIL’s acid tongue. “—They just don’t want you there. She’s expecting and besides hitting her there’s the mess with Jose Antonio.”
MC explains how that shot came out of nowhere and that she had nothing to do with it and didn’t see who did it. She’s relieved to find out that JosA was only wounded and still very much alive. “—As for you’re coming back to the ranch with me, we can’t risk Lucia losing her baby. She’s so susceptible to things and she eats poorly, she has fainting spells—“ “—Fainting spells? Do you think I could be expecting also? I’ve fainted myself.” And, yeah, she’s been sick to her stomach and ravenously hungry, she tells him. So, does he think it’s possible she could be preggers with his bebito, too? Cara de Ruh-roh! de Octavio.
MC goes back dutifully to her hut and updates Ramiro. Just then who should appear but JosA, alive and kickin’, to check up on them all. Mari asks him if he has any idea who shot him.
Back at the hacienda, Tav comes down and is ready to spend a few hours in the back forty with his bro. However, Michael is too depressed to join him and nothing Tav says to encourage him seems to help. (Maybe a trip to the doctor for a testosterone shot?) Well, soon he’ll have his own house for Maricruz and their little crumb-crunchers. Won’t that be nice!!?? (Definitely a few trips to the psych for a few couch chats would now be in order.) Miguel asks Tav why he gave up being an airline pilot. He got bored with it or whatever…..bottom line he’s here and prefers having both feet on terra firma.
JosA tells them all he hasn’t a clue who shot him, though he has his suspicions. Well, stay clear from problems with women, cuz they’ll sink you fast, advises Ramiro. JosA then asks why she didn’t come to visit him at the hospital. She explains she couldn’t now that she’s married it wouldn’t be wise. He finds out from her also that she’s been banned from the ranch and why. He’s upset that they’ve shunted her back to the hut, as if she’d never been married. “—Wives are supposed to live with their husbands!” No matter. He loves her and that’s all that counts. He asks Ramiro if they booted her out like yesterday’s trash or what. Ramiro looks at him as if he’s considered that to be a definite possibility.
Back in the stables, Ewwwsebio chats up JoseA about his feelings for Mari. JosA admits that he’s always been attracted to her, but gave up the idea because she never seemed interested in him. Now she’s married, but with the time they’ve spent together recently and all the rest he suspects he’s fallen in love with her all over again. Ewwwsebio is overjoyed to hear it. ¡Vámanos! (My stomach just did another 360.)
Upstairs in their room, Miguel relays the “happy news” about Tav’s intentions. “—If he has kids with her then we won’t be able to object to anything.” Lucia’s brilliant response to that is to have Miguel buy her two fierce guard dogs as pets. “--If she comes around there at night scavenging, those dogs are sure to frighten her off.” Cara de too confused by half de Miguel.
Tav and Mari spend time under theapple mango tree. He mentions he used to be a pilot and flew planes—no, not just the kind that sprinkle the fields, the kind that takes passengers from place to place. He was the captain, but no he didn’t like the responsibility for all those people at times. (Hmmm. The back story here may prove to be pretty interesting.) He has to ask her something, he says. “—How do you feel about Jose Antonio?” A great guy, you know. Yeah, but is he in love with her, he asks? That’s a loaded question and she knows it.
Miguel asks Lucia to cool it with this business about getting rid of her brother and his wife. She’s too gung ho, tho’, and he’s too down on himself to do much arguing over it with her.
Back at the stables, Ewwws probes and prods JoseA some more about Maricruz. J-To won’t pursue anything because she’s still in love with her husband and there’s no reason. Crap on a shingle. Certainly she’s nothing more than a tramp and whoever shot him was some spurned lover of hers from her sordid past! JosA objects to Ewwwsebio dissing MC like that, but he tells JosA he’s still wet around the ears when it comes to the fairer sex. JosA says he has always loved her, but he can’t force her! Sure he can, says Ewwws. “—Listen carefully to what I tell you!” JosA seems to be all ears.
Back to the mango tree, meanwhile, MC says it’s nothing but lies. There’s nothing between him and her. Tav asks her if something ever happened to him would she consider marrying Jose Antonio. “—If anything happened to you I’d follow you to the tomb!” They kiss. Too morbid to even think about.
Speaking of morose, Lucia brings her cuz up to date on her plans for the two dogs. She’ll just be egging Octavio on by getting those dogs. So? Lucia cannot allow that trash back into her house. But, every day it seems Octavio falls more and more deeply in love with her! That manse isn’t big enough for the two of them! "--If she comes back I’m leaving! It is either me or her!"
Tav tells Mari that he’s got no problem with her and J-To sharing a friendship. In fact the guy probably deserves it more than he does. (Say what?) MC asks him what he means by that. (Unfortunately, neither she nor we get an answer.)
Night falls and Tav pulls up in the drive to the hacienda. Rather than go straight in he heads out back and finds JosA. After asking how he’s doing, Tav asks JosA if he’s been to see Maricruz. JosA says a bit awkwardly that he hasn’t because she doesn’t want to see him, and after all she is married. But, asks Tav, if she were single, would you marry her? (Hmmm. Seems Tav’s planning something.) JosA swallows hard and thinks about what he wants to say.
At the same time, Ofelia comes into the living room where Ester, Lucia and Simone are having coffee. She tells Lucia that that trashy broad is outside the front door and demanding to be let in. "--How dare she! I’m going out there this minute and talk to her myself!"
Tav asks JosA again. “—Would you marry her?? Answer me, Jose Antonio!” He turns to Tav and says “--Yes!” He would in a heartbeat if she was even slightly interested in him, and he would make her very happy! Tav accepts the painful truth bravely.
Out front, Lucia confronts MC from the veranda, demanding to know why she’s come. Mari looks sincerely penitent. “—I’ve come to ask your forgiveness.”
MC explains how that shot came out of nowhere and that she had nothing to do with it and didn’t see who did it. She’s relieved to find out that JosA was only wounded and still very much alive. “—As for you’re coming back to the ranch with me, we can’t risk Lucia losing her baby.

Susanlynn! I am so glad to see you and Judy B and some of the others on the same tn again!! I frankly miss some of those entertaining autobiographical tall tales of yours. LOL! Yep, I was surprised at ML's dancing talent after seeing him play such a schmuck all these years. Kudos to the make up dept. this time. They've done a great job hiding all his...er... "pluses".

Cynderella: Nice to be on the same tn with you. Enjoyed reading your stuff on past tn's.

Thanks Jardinera...I always get such a kick out of your exuberant alliterations:
"bad-ass babes' backsides"
"brash, brown-eyed, broad-shouldered babe-alicious hombre de la hora"
What's not to love in a good ol' (Vamonos!)recap by my amiguita Jardinera. Tellin' it like it is.
Didn't see the first part, so especially appreciated your witty blow by blow.
Agree that the compassionate ship hand has a strange Quasimodo look. Will the starving would-be waitress turn into his Esmerelda? Woo-hoo. Always up for more romance.
Thanks Jardinera. Your recaps are always a treat.

Tks, amiga! I believe I've made all the proper corrections (on the fly). Still hard getting used to recapping for the "early show" but I do like this one--much better eye candy with this one, for sure.
Jardinera- Wonderful recap. I applaud your restraint in not giving some of our characters well-deserved dressing downs.
So do we think Octavio is planning on giving Maricruz to JA, since things aren't working out between them? I wouldn't be surprised, the way he treats her like an object or toy he plays with one day, and then puts back in the toy chest the next. I can't wait for the day when he's the one begging her not to leave him on his knees!
I didn't hear that Octavio is a gynecologist, so how can he be so sure in telling Maricruz that she's not pregnant? Has he used condoms each time? Has he been sneaking the pill into her food? How does he know?
I can't believe how they have transformed sexy, and usually villainous, Manuel Landeta (Teresa and Corazon Valiente) into that Qausimodo character. Just odd.

Gracias Jar, great recap for a lot of
Señora Mejia toro mierda.
Octavio is asking Jose Antonio if he would marry Maricruz? Aren't we getting a little ahead of ourselves here. Most guys wouldn't start with the marry word. And since she is Oct's wife I think hot babe would be out of the question.
Octavio the imbécil is still thinking his virgin bride is all of a sudden a slut.
Jose A has a suspicion who shot him, mind letting us & the police in on it.
I guess Ewww is going to give him rape lessons.
At least we have some new characters, new starving girl, droopy mouthed guy.
Hurry Eduardo!

Oh, Lucia is getting 2 mean dogs, is this a clue to how she meets her demise? I expect her to treat them like basura also.
I'm sure they will like Maricruz.
I'm sure they will like Maricruz.
Well, Octavio and Maricruz only had a civil ceremony, so a quick divorce would be pretty easy and not messy. She could easily marry someone else. It just seems like Octavio is looking to have someone else take this burden off his hands.
Oh, how i like recaps on caray, caray. They are always worth of waiting.
Octavio is really strange guy. He said to brother, that he is happy with his wife and is sure that mari will be pregnant soon. And he was really enthusiastic about this. But when it comes to real symtoms he say "oh no, you is not pregnant for sure". WHY???? He should buy her a test immediately.
But I still love this couple. They are soooo sweet.

Finally got to watch my first episode and gotta say that I'm digging it so far.
It's interesting to see daniel arenas (aka willy in my mind) so serious in this role, either way 'babe-alicious' is exactly right jardinera
As for Ana Brenda...man, if didn't know she was the heroine, I would have thought she was the suicidal psycho ex-girlfriend after watching the first few minutes. Still like the character/actress though, and can't wait for her transformation so she can stick it to octavio for pretty much kicking her, HIS WIFE, out of the house. & from what I gathered from the rest of the episode he is still getting biblical privileges!
The way he treats her like a pet charity case, I thought maybe he married her while being very drunk so now he feels obligated to take care of her, but no he went into this eyes wide open!! ay octavio, definitely suffering from galanitis, pretty but dumb.
Do love drama though, & I'm seeing the chemistry between the main couple so I'm hooked so far (unlike QBA&PEAM which I sadly already lost time&interest in)
thanks for the recap jardinera, very funny

THX Jardinera, I was going to ask as well how they turned the realtively goodlooking guy into that hunchback?
And his face doesn't look made up by a mask, rather like he keeps holding his mouth and eye in that strange position.
How can he do that for hours for the filming?
Also, will he be the one, who the Esteban character was in the Mariamar?
As I remember he had burnt face which was practically easy to repair when he got the necessary money together, how they gonna fix the hunchback?
We have a saying here in my country, maybe you have the equivalent in english, which is used when something (a proces,an action, an event) starting to get on it's way
"alakul ez, mint púpos gyerek a prés alatt" which basically says "it develops as/like hunched child under the /in the/ press"
maybe we can use this on this TN figuratively and literally as well...

Good to see you here jlk! Join in the crazy fun.
Maricruz's drama queen nature is precisely why I'm not 100% sure pregnancy caused her fainting spell. She's in full on, I'll die without you and would kill myself if you died, Juliet mode. But they have been warming those bed sheets pretty often, so I don't know why Octavio was so quick to dismiss the possibility of a pregnancy with her.
He certainly runs hot and cold. One minute speaking about a future with Mari and staying on terra firma. The next speaking of flying again and looking like he can't run away from Maricruz and responsibility fast enough.

Great work, Jardinera.
I am still having trouble with this story. Who on earth grows up this way?
Octavio needs lessons about how to treat women and how to protect the defenseless. He is failing miserably at both. Maricruz needs to trade him in for a clone of Santos (as in QBA).
The vicious dogs definitely sound like a prediction of Lucia's Karmageddon. Has she ever cheated on Miguel? I keep thinking of that line from Elmer Gantry....

Miguel seems to have some real depression issues. Maybe that's why he's had so much trouble keeping the ranch afloat?
I had to miss the episode last night (except the last ten minutes) so many thanks Jardinera for filling in the detail.
To be honest, I would have probably had a headache watching the yo-yo behavior of Tav on this one. Dude, she's either your wife or not. And the thought of a baby at this point, oh please no.
Reading Tav's little insight to MC on his former profession, that back story could prove interesting. Had he had a scary possibly crash incident or something similar? That has me rather intrigued and we just know there is a future plot point there on that little tidbit.
I also wonder, and I'll have to grab the episode later today, but I'm wondering from L&E's conversation, if she's beginning to be a bit nervous on the extremes her 'cuz is willing to go to. Think she created a monster.

I'm speculating that Octavio might have been in a serious emergency situation and has developed a phobia, like Camila with the accident in the opening episode of AB.
Jlk: "ay octavio, definitely suffering from galanitis, pretty but dumb" You get the ITSA award for today. We were definitely tracking on that one! "Biblical priviledges--por supuesto! He is muy rico and thus 1 level removed from Dios como siempre in these things. : ? ))
======
Ah, ViviDC: You know me too well! LOL! Oops! Forgot to mention Tav's poo-pooing MC's suggestion that she's preggers just like that, just because he says so or doesn't want it so. Just like a child. (Like Hubby---ewwww too much like reality t.v. here.) The only symptom missing was the painful boobs. As I keep thinking, this could be two h.s. lovers who are taking a future living course and babysitting some egg for credit.
======
Vario: "Jose A has a suspicion who shot him, mind letting us & the police in on it?" I think I was too tired to form the question when reviewing this for the write up. You get the zinger award!
==========
Alegria: Suggesting he buy her a pregnancy test would make too much sense. We must remember he's suffering from "galan-itis'!!! LOL!
=======
UrbanA: "The vicious dogs definitely sound like a prediction of Lucia's Karmageddon" That would satisfy, but she's going to be a mami and so it will probably have to be something less gory. Which line in Elmer Gantry?
====
Irisz79: Welcome! Ouch! That translation sounds like something painful! Is it? Could it also mean something like a crouching tiger ready to spring and pounce? Love that kitty picture of yours!!
=======
Daisy: Lucia may very well be thinking that she's created a monster by letting Cousin Ester in on her plans to sabotage Tav and MC's marriage.

I guess I'm slipping on Mejia predictions, I didn't suspect Ester of shooting Jose A.
2 vicious dogs, one for Lucia & the other for Ester's comeuppance.

Maricruz had on a green dress last night in the beginning, better than the white rag. I guess the white rag was being washed, although I didn't see the girls doing ldy. The film crew must have done it. The white rag was back on a short time later.
Maricruz has three dresses that she wears-- there are two white ones that look very similar, and one that looks tan/olive green. She was wearing these three in rotation on the ranch too. Still have no idea where the dark green dress that she wore at the snails dinner came from. Must have been a Lucia castoff.
Wow, great recap, Jardinera, and of course hilarious.
Some great news last night... puppies! We're going to get puppies... maybe some ferocious Welsh Corgis... Lucia certainly has a queenly bearing.
It's Pricila! The waif on the Wharf is Priscila from CME. Not to worry Carola, she cleans up real good.
Maybe someone mixed some green socks in with Maricruz's laundry.

Jardinera:
Thanks as always for your fab recap.
I can't stand what Octavio is doing. Yeah sure cast off the wife like yesterday's socks with her Abue. Tav married her now it's time to take responsibility. Oh, yeah he never does that. Sorry for the rant. At least he made sure she is being fed for goodness sake.
I am really liking Santa and Maria. I like how Santa continually stands up to Ewwwsebio. I'd like to take that whippy thing away and bounce it at him and tell HIM VAMANOS! I like how Maria mimicked him, lol.
Lucia and Ester are just BSC. They have no conscience. How can they let a poor family just starve? It's like Oliver Twist, please sir can I have some more? It really bothers me that these people have so much and poor starving Maricruz the wife of one of the owners had to beg for scraps. The best anvil Lucia could have is being poor and having to go without food. Then maybe she would get it. I think if Miguel truly knew what was going on he might be reigning her in.

I want Doberman Pincers, they just look like they could tear you to pieces even though they are usually sweet.
I don't think the dogs will like Ewww's whip very much, maybe he will be their victim.

Thank you Jardenara. I loved your recap right from the first paragraph. You had me laughing with lines like--snooty puss's craby kisser---and, Maricrus is not quite ready to grasp the concept of conflict resolution. LOL
Right, I don't think so either, not yet anyway.---There was another chuckle when you wrote, the Comandante is apparently bored with his run of the mill chicken snatching and drunk and disorderlies. Funny but probably true.
First things first. From yesterday,
thank you Variopinta for the pronunciation website help.
Carlos---Goddess material on a horse--LOL That was a good one but I must add that Ana Brenda looks good anywhere. Whether walking , on a horse, in a shack, or in a mansion. It doesn't matter.
UtahDesert---Sounds like we are in the same boat story wise. I was hooked from day one however. Poor
goddess meets and falls in love with the handsome prince. A beautiful rancho, a wealthy father unknown at first. Evil villians, beautiful ones at that, who would have guessed? It all boils down to a beautiful dream novela and I don't care how many complaints there are, they won't ruin it for me.
Now for today---For those complaining about the white dress,
well there was a green one last night. Maricruz has a walk in closet/shack with a large wardrobe
from which to choose. Well maybe not so large, three so far, but she did change last night.
jlk---Octavio suffering from galanits? True but don't they all?
I wonder who the hungry out of work waitress will turn out to be?
Will she befriend Maricruz at a later date? I guess we will have to stay tuned.
Variopinta---Yes, wouldn't it be something if Evil Eyes gets the dogs and they like Maricruz? She's good with animals, the monkey likes her. I can't see any animal likeing Lucia.
Jardinera---That was a great title
for last nights show.

A couple of more thoughts---Did anyone notice the evil grotesque
face on Ester's shirt/tank top last night. It looked like it was made just for her.
Madelaine---I like your idea of Evil Eyes begging for food.
Not a spoiler---but I was thinking,
wouldn't it be something if Maricruz's father or maybe Maricruz
after her fathers death bought toe ranch? Now that would be something.

Carlos/Gringo:
Glad to see that you two are holding up your side of tongue-hanging and salivating for the male component in this grope--er--group! Lord knows you're outnumbered by at least 20 to 1. LOL!

Madeleine: Lucia should experience what it's like worrying that your child will starve also IMHO.
Vario:
As for those dogs, I'd rather see Ester at the top their bill of fare. I'd feed Ewwws to the crocodiles....or maybe he could die of whiplash.

Dear Jardinera~~~~I haven't read one of your recaps in a while...so fun. Maricuz ~~~''We're married...lock me in our room...but don't abandon me/'' Gha''''I may hurl. Octavio is a jerk. He's enjoyed MC's charms. but now she's too high maintenance ' so he wants to drop her like a hot potato''''and he's not concerned about where she'll get her next hot potato.

Thanks Jardinera, for being another one of us taking one for the team on recapping this yuck. I'm really crossing my fingers hard that this does a serious improvement once MC is out of the area. I can't bear to watch until I have to recap it or until it improves. Which ever comes first.
I'm with Vivi on the pregnancy thing with MC. I don't recall a mention of a baby in the synopsis, although that doesn't mean she doesn't have a baby or doesn't get pregnant and loses the baby. we'll have to wait and see. But how Octavio can be so certain, it makes me laugh. It's like if wishes were certainties.
This whole part with the shooting is a mystery to me. Why would the writers need to put it in? If MC simply gets accused of stealing, that would get rid of her. No need for the attempted killing. If MC ends up going to jail for it, I will really lose it. JA can vouch for her not doing it, since he lived. And I suspect that it was either Ester or Ewsebio.
This TN has become such a bizarre mishmash of events with nothing making sense. Bring back the monkey. He's the only thing good about this show right now.

Jar--I got to watch from the cruiser on--all I could think of was fire on board! Thanks for the great recap. You add so much. Yes, you are the Queen of Alliteration.
Carlos: The waif at the dock is experiencing a stellar career as a second stringer....besides Priscilla, she also was Consuelo, daughter of the town merchants in LQNPA, who, desgraciadamente was killed off by a bad guy (because Refugio was calling). In it she was Melissa the Licenciada, smart, beautiful, cared about the environment and social issues, in love with an older man. Incarnation hasn't been too good for her--but maybe she'll also go through a Grand Transformation.
Quasimodo sure has a shiny bald head. The Mejias must like to use disfigured folks--I couldn't watch whassisname in Triumfo whenever he was on screen. It's not that I don't have any sympathy. I internalize and dwell on it too long and get depressed. And what a peculiar uniform. Ni modo, I was glad to get away from the rancho for awhile.
Octavio is trying to justify to himself what he's going to do to Maricruz (leave her to Jose Antonio--my we have a lot of JA's this season). Y punto.
At one point in the credits, we see Maricruz with a shotgun (or rifle). That would mean that there is one in her or Gramps' posession, no? That certainly would bring her under suspicion--and it hasn't?
jlk--nice to see you after a long hiatus. You do come out with some good ones, galanitis and biblical privileges. You know all about beanies, so we don't have to warn you--and *don't* go back and read all the comments from day one, you'll get as depressed as we were.
I don't get it. If Maria and Santita are friends with MC, why haven't *they* offered to teach her how to eat right, or why hasn't she asked them?
Someone mentioned Santita making her a dress yesterday, was it? Yes, that would be nice, but it probably wouldn't be as short or tight or holey as the ones she wears now. It would make much more sense for her to be running around in overalls and a t-shirt. Do we even know where she got those three dresses? Could they have been her mother's?

Done with exams and all caught up with the show (finally)!
So I have a slight different take. I actually thought Octavio was acting less of a jerk than normal. He didnt want to bring Maricruz back because he knew it would be miserable for her (and perhaps him to) because of all the witches at the ranch and their scheming.
Even though he denied strongly Maricruz being preggers I thought it was more so due to bringing a child in when their is no money and all the drama going on at the ranch. He did seem genuine when talking to his brother about building a little house for him, maricruz and all their bebitos.
With the Jose Antonio(Sp??) I think Octavio still feels (as he should) guilty about the whole mess he brought upon Maricruz when brought her home to the vipers after they got married.
All in all, I think he cares for her but not sure he lurves her yet. There could be pity still mixed in there too. Who knows perhaps I just just like to give ppl excuses for their bad behavior...

Lucia wants to separate Mari and Octavio. This story with shooting helped her to blackmail Miguel and Octavio. No matter how this story would end, she now has millions of reasons why Mari should stay far from her home. She uses her pregnancy very well.

Anita- Michelle R. isn't the same actress who played the shop owner daughter in LQNP, who also also played Melissa Refugio. But she was Consuelo, the maid, in LQNPA, in addition to CME, and she played a dancer/hooker in Corazon Salvaje, and a maid in Diablos.
Manuel Landete is a terrifc dance. H e was on a show a few tears ago called ''Bailando por su boda .'' Check him out on youtube.

I finally caught an episode last night. Frankly, Octavio is not hot enough to cause all of this drama in Maricruz's life. I vote for the horse trainer, but we all know that he won't win. Oh well.

Vivi, sorry, I got very confused. Yes, she was Consuelo, one of the servants at Del Fuerte in LQNPA, not Maripaz, who got thwacked, then later was Melissa in Refugio. I didn't see the other two novelas.
Susanlynn! I am so glad to see you and Judy B and some of the others on the same tn again!! I frankly miss some of those entertaining autobiographical tall tales of yours. LOL! Yep, I was surprised at ML's dancing talent after seeing him play such a schmuck all these years. Kudos to the make up dept. this time. They've done a great job hiding all his...er... "pluses".

Cynderella: Nice to be on the same tn with you. Enjoyed reading your stuff on past tn's.

Gringo -- I'll take that gold star and cherish it! LOL!
Cynderella, I'm with you on Octavio's hotness. But I think that a nice short haircut would do wonders. Maybe if he goes back to being a pilot, he would get one.
hmmm......nasty Lucia hates the beautiful, naiveMC and wants to send her away para siempre ... the evil queen and Snow White.....

Jardinera, thanks for another refulgent recap.
So, Octavio can't deal with his sexy but troublesome wife. And Miguel can't deal with the hard part of running a ranch. Wah, wah, wah. Yeah, cry me a rio. You guys will be sorry soon.
Vivi, loved your image of Octavio putting MC back in the toy box when he was done playing. True dat!
Best India Maria moment--whipping her rebozo fringe in parody of Eww.
I always considered Manuel Landeta a member of Club de los Hot Bald Guys. (He's in the Huapango movie someone mentioned in connection with India Maria, and he CAN dance.) I was surprised to see him morph into this "scary guy with a heart of gold." Guess he wants to stretch his persona.
Our new girl is a doppleganger for MC, it would seem. Pretty, dirty, poor, starving, etc. Maybe they'll be friends one day.

La Paloma, I didn't watch this episode so I don't know what that bald actor looked like so I looked him up. He is a handsome man. There are some major beefcake pictures of him posing in a speedo, lol. ( I hate speedos) But I like the pictures of him with a beard best. He's at his most handsome that way.
What if when MC becomes wealthy, she buys the ranch anonymously. I'm loving that idea!!!

Manuel Landeta was also in one of the later casts of Solo Para Mujeres. In that link he is the "head pin". As you can see he's got a hot bod.
He should be cast as a military officer in a future novela.

A couple things come to mind watching this:
I wonder how grandpa managed to prepare both girls regarding ''those days of the month'' and where do they get the feminine pads...
Women (Santa, María) in Lucía's kitchen don't use hair nets while cooking. How often would they find ''the hair in the soup''?

Considering how underfed they might have been, maybe they didn't get their periods at the usual age.
There is always Maria, too.

Or as the starship captain in the telenovela version of Star Trek.

Great recap, Jardinera. You and the other recappers make me keep watching this nonsense (and the fact that soon I'll have to share my bits of wisdom again, too)
About Octavio being a pilot...ever since the first episode he mentioned what used to be his job, so I'm sure he didn't give it up just becuase he got bored; he either killed someone or almost... or maybe the stress got to him (which means he is truly a weak person or he needs a strong woman like Mari to make him go bacl to his job)- I tend to think he quit out of fear because if it had been a serious accident, Miguel would at least know about it.
So far this is what I'm most curious about and I think it could be a possible way for Octavio to win some brownie points down the line...so far he's just the worst!

Yes. There's something wrong with him. Yesterday he said:
I have decided who will be in MariCruz heart after I divorce her.
Really? And what about her feelings?
I don't think she is going to comply with this because she loves him, and nobody else...
BTW, did somebody notice the roaches?
No, not the four women standing by the door when MC wanted to apologize... some creatures kept running back and forth close to MC feet... funny!
