Amores Verdaderos #174 Mon 7/15/13 The drama in the hospital waiting room when a relative is fighting for her life, and the reunion long awaited, we finally peek inside the offices of 'The three Amigos Secret Service'
At waiting room, JA is desperate silently praying to God not to take away his little sun. Candy and Anyballs come and ask about Lilly. She is still in surgery. Anyballs thinks Lilli is his master work. She can't die or leave like the other granddaughter. He has many plans for her future.
At the institute of Bodyguards owned by the three musketeers, Guzmi and Dances comment about JA, just when life was smiling at him finally, now this tragedy happens. Guzmi is suspicious that it was an attempt to harm or kidnap Lilli. Dances says he will push police to get on the case. Anyballs, like Guzmi thought, is already on the phone with Comm Robles (Hardwood).
Vicky is consoling JA... they comment Adri is very affected with what happened to Lilli. JA says now he understands Adri's anguish more than ever.
Anyballs and Candy in another area of waiting room, He can't wait anylonger, wants to go find doctor. Candy can't move from the agony/guilt. VIcente finally comes out. Lilli survived the surgery but her liver and intestines are very harmed. He says they need to wait 48 hrs to have a better outlook. JA insists to Vicente that Lilli can't die, begs Vic to save her. Vic assures they are doing everything possible. Vic says he understands his anguish, but can't lie saying she will be fine, it all depends how her body responds. JA insists to see her, so Vic has to let him see her.
In another room in hospital, Adri gets up and out of the room despite the warnings of the nurse.
Nil-Brains visits Nikki. (first time he sees her since his return) He feels deflated about not being able to walk without a cane. She tries to cheer him up. He does not need the wheelchair anymore. She assures him she loves and needs him more than ever.
JA is talking to Lilli, who is still out... so fragile, so vulnerable... he feels insignificant in this huge universe, dont know how to help her.... prays to God to give them another chance to get closer. Then tells Lilli if she goes he will be empty, like dead.
Adri comes to desk, Vic is there, so when they tell her he is the surgeon and he turns around, he does not recognize her right away, but she does. Huge stare at each other, then huge embrace. This was lovely... have to say i feel like these two should belong together in the end. She has pains for anguish over Lilli. He tells her the truth, that the next 48 hrs will be key, how she responds. After a while, Adri feels better. He says Lilli's fate is in the hands of God. From their crossing notes, we learn Anyballs not only pushed them apart and sent her away to have her baby, but he also had someone insert drug in Vic's room and had him sentenced to jail. Adri says her dad is evil and a monster. Anyballs had told her that Vic had run away like a coward. Vic tells her that to add insult to injury, Anyballs went to visit him in jail to tell him the baby had died, and that if he tried to get close to Adri ever again he would have them both killed. Adri tells Vic that Anyballs had told her the baby died, but she has recently discovered he lied. There was no baby in the gasket, only stones. They both conclude the baby must still be alive. She tells him about all the attempts to get to the people who were there, but her dad has bought everyone to leave without talking to her. Vic says we will team up to find our daughter. She says she had wanted to look for him but thought he would be married with a family by now, but you are here offering your unconditional help. Vic says it is his duty, lets exchange phone numbers so we will be in contact.
Nil-Brains tells Nikki that the rash on baby Mia was just heat rash. Frankie comes in. Nil-Brains congratulates Frankie about their new business, then stands up and recognizes he was wrong about Frankie, acccusing him of arribista. But now he realizes Frankie loves Nikki and stands up for his own. The assurance he gave Nikki have been key for her recovery. Nikki thanks him for his words. Nil-Brains recognizes he was not the ideal dad, and was very unfair with Frankie. He appologizes sincerely to Frankie. Frankie says no worries. that is all behind us. They embrace. Nil-Brains is crying and Nikki sighing relief and content.
Candy and Anyballs stare at Lilli through window. She thinks she thought she would never feel a pain like the death of her daughter, but Lilli is young... she has so much life ahead of her. Anyballs whispers that Lilli is a Balvanera and will defeat death.
Anyballs and Candy with JA. Anyballs assures JA he will talk to the doctor. IF they need to take Lilly away overseas to get her better, they will. JA gets mad (the thought of someone taking Lilli away from him awakes the not so teddy BEAR in him, but right now looks more like a LION). JA is against Lilli going away. My daughter will stay here. Anyballs undermines JA's tone and tries to override saying 'you are noone to decide over her'. Wrong answer. I AM HER DAD!! and the only one to blame for what happened to her is YOU!! For filling her with gifts and luxuries! Now see what happened! you gave her that darn nursery business and look what happened!! (Vicky tries to calm JA down, Candy also tries, but he is on a roll) JA insists the only one to blame is 'This one!'. For having paraded her around as a Balvanera. It is obvious what they wanted to was to kidnap her, and they attempted it when she was alone. Is that what you wanted her to wear the Balvanera surname? well, you got your wish. Thanks to YOU!!... my daughter is dying,. because a thug gave her a fatal blow. Anyballs brushes him off saying he is not in a state where he can be objective. Anyballs leaves with Candy, Vicky just looks at JA with concern.
Adri and Vic still talking. Of course he understands why this Lilli incident has affected her so much. She has recently become Lilli's mom instead of her aunt. She is the daughter Adri could not have by her side. No Adri is not married, Joann, her baby's dad does not know about her pregnancy, a family is not in his priorities. Vic says same in reverse, he married but his wife's career was too important, even refused to have a baby with him so they divorced. Adri says its almost 20 yrs since we met last time and you still have the same sweet stare, the same smile. He says she is now more beautiful than ever. His phone cuts short the wonderful reunion.
Vicky tells JA she understands his anguish over Lilli, but they have to really wait to find out exactly what happened at the nursery. Dances says they are working on it already. JA does not care about that, he cares about Lilli making it through. Bea asks him to have faith. He walks away deflated. Dances tells Bea it breaks his heart to see JA so depressed.
JA tries to get Vicky to go get some rest, but has to insist before she gives in. Adri comes by. Dances and Bea recongize how close she is to Lilli. JA says she should go get rest with Vicky. Vicky asks Dances to stay with JA, Bea will stay too. Vicky and Adri leave with Zambrano. Adri tells Vicky that it was none other than Vic Zelorio who did the surgery on Lilli.
Nikki and Frankie at home. They agree that Roy should be notified about what happened to Lilli. She calls Roy, who just won some tournament in NY. He thinks she called him for that, but she gives him the bad news.
KenDrat gets call from Inepto, (Espanto, but i must say KenDrat herself called him Inepto earlier this week when Lilli was hurt). SHe tells Inepto that Lilli survived the surgery, but she has to hang up because the disabled one should be here any moment. She yells at Inepto on phone just before said disabled walks in asking who she was talking to. He takes the phone from her and questions her on the phone, which he had not seen before. He is waiting for an explanation. SHe plays the offended one, saying no idea who is the guy that called, she tries to convince Nil-Brains she just got that phone number and was explaining to the guy but he insisted, insisted. Nil-Brains asks why she purchased the cell phone. She claims she bought it for Fatima (the babysitter?), she would never use such an ordinary phone herself. But she is short of money. Nil-Brains repeats that all will change soon. KenDrat plays the victim of his distrust when she has dedicated her life to him and their daughter. Nil-Brains bites hook, line and sinker and appologizes. He then mentions that she rejected him last night for first time ever. She claims she was exhausted with the trip and the changes they are going through. HE appologizes again. But his return to Mexico has a particular purpose. But for that, they need to live a bit tight for a while. She sweet talks him again... and again... in the KenDrat signature way... clothes off...
Back at home, Adri goes to Anyballs room to insult him and call him the most despicable dude in the Universe. She is ashamed to be his daughter. She questions what he told her about Vic. Anyballs insists in that being the true story. She rebuttes him with the truth, he still insists she is blabbing. That pobre diablo... THAT POBRE DIABLO... is the surgeon who operated on your granddaughter Lilli. So if she survives, you will owe it to the man you threatened to kill. We talked and he offered his help and we will team up to find our daughter. You make me sick, Anyballs and I despise you as a father! (not sure how to read this facial expression on Anyballs, but since he has done so much harm to his own family, i have to question any possible feelings in him.)
Adri tells Vicky later what happened... Vicky surprised Anyballs denies sending Vic to jail... Adri says our father is a monster. has ruined our lives! I HATE HIM!!... Vicky tries to calm her down. Vicky has no more doubts their father is evil, but is concerned about their babies on the way. Put aside your hate... for now.. i beg you.
JM and Polita are worried about Lilli, ( have to laugh because the CC took her saying that Lilli is a 'creida'(snobbish, bad case of it) and translated it as she is a maid/housekeeper (Criada)) . JM gives Lilli a bit more room, it must be tough to suddenly go from humble to overnight millionaire, you lose your footing!... Polita says wonder if will react same when I become a famous singer celebrity.
JA at hospital with Lilli telling her about his memories of the past with her. HE can't take it anymore, this is the battle she has to win... you HAVE TO WIN!!... Vicky comes in... JA says he talks and talks to Lilli, but she won't respond. Vicky says thank God she survived the night. JA is desperate for Lilli to wake up and move around. Vicky says its only been 12 hours, Doctor said they must wait 48. JA says each hour that passes his angish grows.
At police station, Anyballs gets a report from commander. All the nursery employees passed the lie detector. Anyballs is sure one of them is the traitor who aided in the attack on his granddaughter. He wants to confront them face to face. Just with the stare he will discover who is responsible.
Adri and Nikki at a cafe. Apparently Adri has also brought Nikki up to speed on the story with Vic and Anyballs. Nikki recognizes Vic was always Adri's love. What did you feel to see him again?? Adri can't describe. Nikki guesses like some fireworks inside, Adri says a mix of emotions. And he is divorced with no children. Nikki says he will be the new dad for the baby... OOPSIE!! in comes Carlos. Nikki and Adri are stunned. Nikki takes her quick exit... right before Carlos notices the bump on Adri. Carlos gets pale and nervous instantly. who is the baby's father?
Roy is there at hospital to see Lilli. he has to convince the nurse to let him through off hours. He came from NY to see the love of his life. You don't want me to go away without kissing her and telling her how much I love her.
Carlos follows Adri around... he insists in knowing who is the father... Here comes Vic to the rescue, Carlos and Vicente introduce themselves and shake hands, but then Vic is summoned away. Carlos asks Adri if this is THE Vicente, your first boyfriend, your baby's daddy? Yes. Carlos then puts two and two together and immediately asks and he is your new baby's daddy too? Adri does some quick thinking... Yeah, exactly. With that, Carlos takes his leave after wishing her the best. He walks away after saying for a moment he thought the baby might be his, but also reminds her he is a no-commitment dude, call me if you need anything... (he turns away but turns around again to give her a kiss on cheek). Adri tells her baby, you might never see your dad again, but he will never know because he is afraid of commitments.
Vicky and JA at hospital chapel... he regrets not having tried enough to make his daughter understand. She feels guilty. She feels she has harmed Lilli. JA says that is not so. Vicky says Lilli was so happy and alive when she met her. But when she found out about us, she changed radically. And she feels responsible for their distancing. Vicky tells JA she is willing to sacrifice the most important thing in her life if Lilli gets better. She stands up and swears in front of the virgin that if Lilli recovers, she will separate from him forever. JA is stunned...
Previews:
Frankie tells Nikki and Roy Lilli is running out of time to see her dream fulfilled... Roy jumps asking what is that dream so he can make it come true! Nikki is on board with that.
Adri is leaning on Lilli's face in front of Candy, telling her she is like her daughter... Candy grabs Adri out in hallway and spills the beans about Lilli being Lucia, her daughter. Adri is shocked.
(WHOMP!! THERE IT IS!!!)
Labels: Amores
Thank you so much for this wonderful recap. Loved your description of Adri and Vicente's reunion, sigh!
Vicente and Adri, the hand touching, the leaning in toward each other, the longing smiles, sigh! Best meeting after many years scene eva! I can't wait to see what happens with them next. Glad they wrapped up the Yawn/Carlos storyline.
I am so glad that Nikki called Roy. That was very sweet of her. I hope Roy is somehow able to help Lili recover. I liked him sweet talking the nurse.
Poor JA so much pain and anguish and I am so glad he let Anyballs have it! That was so justified and I hated Anyballs' attitude and him pulling Cande away from JA like he had the pox or something! I am glad JA stands up for Lili. Anyballs thinks that just cause Lili is a Balvanera, Anyballs has all the rights to make decisions about her. He never knew Angel.
I hope the previews are right and Cande does spill about Lili/Lucia to Adri. Then Cande will come back to life for me.
Anyballs has no soul! The nerve of this guy. I am glad he did give it to Kendho, but as far as Lili goes, no, not eva! I hope Anyballs is unable to remove Vicente from being Lili's doc. And putting Vicente in prison for drugs, of all things! Anyballs needs the biggest cast iron skillet/huge mega pie cart/anvil embossed with his name on it, eva! Kendho the same, ditto for Espanto!
I bet that Dances will figure out, before even Commandante Robles, who it was that almost killed Lili. I think he already knows deep down, he just has to connect the dots.
That was surprising with FF, who I now will call Nellie, asking Frankie to forgive him. He looked so genuine, I was quite surprised. I am glad he has reconciled with Nikki. I'm not surprised he is checking the Ho's phone. No surprise there. I think he knows she is only looking for what she can get out of Nellie. Nellie does love Mia though.
Another JA/Ms Vikki separation, say it ain't so! Not this late in the TN. I hope everyone sees reason soon. One can hope ; )
I loved the reunion!! It was great. I know I shouldn't be shocked to learn the crap Gramps pulls but to tell parents their child has died (when it is not true) is one of the most evil things I can conceive. I hope he does not die as that would be almost a reward for all the evil he has done. He needs his health and wealth taken from him, put in jail, and to be ostracized from his family for the remainder of his life. Did I mention how much I hate this character?
Unfortunately I feel Victoria's sacrifice is an bad plot device to keep she and JA apart as this basically guarantees that Lili will recover.
Mads you are much kinder than I. If Cande does spill, she still needs to atone a lot for what she did. How many times has she seen Adriana in anguish and said nothing? Nope as far as I'm concerned she can go to jail too.
Was I the only one who felt cheated out of a longer love connection between Kendra and Nelson?
The reunion scene with Adriana and Vicente was very tender,and very well done,but I also was hoping for a confrontation between Aníbal and Vicente... maybe tonight.
José Ángel made something of a fashion statement by having his shirt collar out over the neck of the paper gown. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that before.
I don't know about the rest of the Patio Peeps, but I've completely forgiven Roy for past crimes and approve of him as a suitable mate for little Ratiana.
Carlos
At last, Vicente and Adriana together. Just like they were both 15 years old again. Hmmm, will Vicente go along with not letting Carlos know who really is the baby’s daddy?
I’m sipping green team and eating smoked salmon at Roy’s table. And I’ll even confess that I like his big hair. Roy, come get your preciosa back on her feet.
Vickie and JA separating at this point, with Arriaguita on the way, would be ridiculous. I hope they nip this in the bud tonight.
"Candy does what she does best, look away every time ANyballs is rude or nasty to anyone in front of her. Then yell 'Anyball!!'"
YES! That's exactly what she does -- but it looks like tonight the worm turns. We shall see ...
Oh wow, all the suitors have come back! This is getting good. As Karen and Niecie have said, Vikki and Arriaga's separation at this point is kind of a weak plot device. Let's be done with it quickly. ok?
On a fashion note: Maternity dresses with puffy sleeves? and little ties in the back? Puh-leeeze.
susanlynn, the hopeful romantic
(Only one tiny bit to add: the Amores tag is missing. ;))
Awwwwwwwwwwwww, Vicente and Adriana!
But Carlos should be told he's going to be a daddy. It is wrong of Adri to keep it from him. He did get excited by the idea of being a father, and said so to Adri. But then he says all the wrong things as usual about not wanting kids or ties. I don't think he really knows what he wants. He's just been saying he wants no ties for so long, that it's become habit. I like how it's not super clear who Adri will end up with. I think it will be Vicente because the two of them just seemed so natural and at ease with each other. With Carlos, it's always a struggle.
I hope tonight JA nips that stupid "I'll make a bargain with God and separate from you if Lili lives" thing in the bud. Just silly.
Adri needs to calm down, or that baby is going to be born premature. I did enjoy her throwing that water glass and smashing it inches away from Anibal's head. :)
that was sweet, so well done. I felt for them.
YES!!! A [3 in 1] give it to um.
A cast iron skillet, a mega pie cart and an embossed anvil, each with their names on it---Anyballs, KendHo and Espanto.
Carlos---you felt cheated? LOL---
I don't ever want to see those two [Nelson and KendHo] in bed again.
Niecie---Yes, I think that Roy will be a big help in getting his preciosa back on her feet.---By the way. Who's running the nursery?
It's closed and all the plants are dying?
Gobluefan---Yeah, they don't use the face masks that's true. What about germs?
Will Adriana never tell carlos about the/his baby? Will she really keep it from him?

This was such a sweet episode with Adriana and Vicente's reunion. I have to give it to this telenovela, they truly did justice to that scene, it had the right level of emotion without going overboard like it tends to happen in other novelas (Mejía I'm looking at you).
Marcelo Córdoba was such a great choice for Vicente. I don't know if the reunion would have been as exciting if another actor would have been chosen.
Jarocha
"By the way. Who's running the nursery?
It's closed and all the plants are dying?"
Maybe upon learning what has happened, her former retinue of songbirds and cuddly woodland creatures will come flying and scampering back to save the day.
Otherwise, maybe she'll have to depend on those employs who left for lunch to run the store while she's away.
What in the world made Vikki think that the Holy Virgin has an interest in seeing her split up with Arriaga?
Carlos
I'm pretty sure that BRUNA is on his team.
:)
Nice that Nikki called Roy and told him about Lili. I'm glad he came to the hospital , all the way from NYC. Maybe the handsome prince (Roy) will the kiss the (Disney) princess Lili and wake her up.
Anibal pulling Cande away from JA was because Cande was about to spill the beans. That's how it looked, to me.
Interesting that Nelson has now made peace and amends with Guzman. He surprised me when he made amends with Vikki last week, too. This big change in Nelson sort of creeps me out; it's as if he is going to kill himself or somehow die soon.
So Joan Carlos found Adriana , and she denied the baby is his. Well…. lying must come from her father's DNA. I really think he has a right to know. It's not like he's an evil creep like Leo, who would cause a lifetime of trouble.
The writers could have done without Vikki's stupid bargain-making with the Virgin over Lili surviving. Puh-leeze…
Gobluefan - ITA aobut the gowns -sans-masks. I LOL'd last night when JA had on surgical gloves, but NO MASK. Que the ****? Methinks the wardrobe dept. is having fun with us, and themselves.
"I'm curious, is anybody on Carlos/Joan Constantín's team?" I’m on Carlos/Joan's team. I've always like him. Lisardo looks like he is having fun with the character, too.
How much farther along is Vikki than Adri, in the pregnancy? Vikki looks like a whale. Maybe because she is so petite?
Adri should definitely tell Yawn Carlos that the baby is his. If not, she's heading straight down the snakey path of her father. She shouldn't marry him or anything, but she should tell him the truth. Then she can marry Vicente and live happily ever after, but there won't be any nasty secrets lurking, and Yawn and the kid can visit a few times a year and all will be fine. I thought Carlos actually said that for a moment, he was excited thinking it was his baby. Then it was like he was talking himself into his old uncommitted lifestyle again. Maybe he doesn't want to be tied to one woman, but he did seem to like the idea of having a child...you know, as long as he doesn't have to provide the childcare all the time. He wouldn't be the worst parent ever.
Nice that Nikki is showing genuine concern for Lili now. They are quite like bickering siblings.
All the scenes with Adri and Vicente were great. Even after 20 years, they seemed so instantly happy and comfortable together.
Carlos- ewwww!!!! More of a love scene for Nelson and Kendra. Yuck, the seedy music is enough.
Doris- I am noting that Nelson has made peace with his family members. Uh oh, we need to listen carefully to Kendra's next set of instructions to Espanto. Nelson's anvil may drop.
I think Bruna might have her own team here, hehe.
Vivi:
You can always go with the selfish routh: Adri can have Joan and you can try to win Vicente from all his admirers.
Doris:
Nice to know that there's still someone on Joan's corner. The ascot is finding heavy competition with that white coat.
Jarocha
I agree that Adri and Vincente's reunion was lovely. While I was momentarily taken aback at her lie to Carlos, if I had just been reunited with the love of my life (and he at all resembled Marcelo), I could not blame her a bit. As you noted Marta: "have to say i feel like these two should belong together in the end"...Exactly.
However, I would feel it less than fitting if Adri did not reveal the truth at some point. Carlos does deserve to know.
Karen, you summarized my feelings about Anibal perfectly. As "our" Carlos would say "Next"!
Not entirely surprised by Vicky's declaration. Let's hope she doesn't stick to her vow.
Wonderful comments.
Diana
One thing the character of Bruna accomplished: She made sure that Joan and Adriana always had a haze of misunderstandings between them. As others have said, Adriana may end up with Vicente but she owes Joan the truth about her child.
---
So our Nikki is all grown up, isn't she? She is doing all the right things by Lili, by Roy, by Nelson. And when we see her at the table with Adriana, they are more like peers than tia/sobrina. I love the way this part of the story has played out.
I love the Inepto/Espanto paragraph and how does the evil Kendrat continue to look so incredibly beautiful on the outside when her insides should be spewing ashy smoke and putrid fumes out of her saucy mouth.
I am at the table of the total romantics here: I want to hear the Weather Girls song blasting from my radio saying: It's Raining Vicentes, Hallelujah, It's Raining Vicentes..." We all need a chance at one lost love coming into the light like him.
I guess the FF has made his peace with everyone so perhaps Kendrat will off him when her hoped for fortune falls through. I hope someone is there to grab the little Maia/Mia when her parents are drug under the biggest pie cart of all. No that would be Anyballs that needs to be down hill from the biggest one. Cande has done nothing but disappoint me so I can't wait to see how she atones with her confession tonight to Adriana.
I think Yawn Carlos deserves to know about the baby AND that he will never enjoy the home and love of Adriana but will only look in through the window at what commitment could be like. And that being said, I really enjoy Lisardo and his acting in this role too.
Maybe Liliana will wake up and act her age to embrace Vikki as the ideal mate for her Pops and then she will also be busy realizing who her real parents are so she is going to be way to busy to be a whine-maven brat anymore. More fun if she embraces ALL the parental-units and Roy.
Novela Maven, you are right on the penny with Nikki. I knew it. She is a girl with a noble heart. I'm so happy for her, I just hope that Liliana accepts her peace offering.
I do like equally Carlos and Vicente. I feel so sorry for Carlos not fighting for his new found love. He does not recognize it and so he loses. What can I say, first love never ever dies. so I am so happy for Vicente and Adriana and I hope Lily.
I have been at home under the weather but will check back shortly.
Diana
Diana, I too don't like what seems to be coming up stream...
I also agree with Julia and Vivi, that Carlos needs to hear that the baby is his, hopefully from Adri herself, but at least know it.
ITA with Julia's statement:
Maybe he doesn't want to be tied to one woman, but he did seem to like the idea of having a child... and like others said, he certainly cares for Adri maybe more than he has cared for other women baring Vicky... it showed when he came to the hospital to show support for Adri since she grew so close to Lilli. So he deserves to be in the baby's life. He seems to be a well rounded guy, at least not in the relationship but maybe he will be a great distant father, but he should be allowed to see that child frequently and the child should know he is the father.
