La Tempestad Cap #23 Wed, 28 August - I'm Nobody! Who are you?*
*With a nod to Emily Dickinson. I hope she doesn’t mind. (And everybody is somebody.)
Old hat: Mercedes calls the mystery number. Mucky Mag answers the phone but nobody’s home. According to Mags she is Nadie, nadie, nadie. "That voice," sighs Mercedes. Hernan makes his heinous offer to Maria. “Take me on as a partner”. No Marina no!!
New hat: Marina says it’s gonna cost a bundle. Hernan wants to rebuild the empacadora together, build a dream together, JUNTOS. Blech.
Marina says she needs to consult with Mercedes first. Hernan tells her to accept it, they will be partners and together they will rebuild the fishery.
Dam tells Pestercita he’s ready to set sail (zarpar) for that trip she’s been yearning for SO MUCH. But he asks that she have no illusions. It’s no honeymoon baby, it’s a good-bye voyage. (So why bother?)
Pester thinks a few days away and by themselves will be just what they need, and nopis, she doesn’t want to hear any negative words out of DaFab’s damluscious lips. Fully eavesdrops on her wheedling and yells at her for humiliating herself for this loser (Referring to Dam, not Fully, in case there was any doubt).
To know know know him, is to love love love him - in one of Dam’s finer moments he faces off with Fully and schools him, “Estercita is no longer your daughter, she is now my wife, and I won’t allow you to talk to her like that.” Eeeks, Fulgencio tries to strangle DamBrave, yelling he is just like his papa, but The Pest jumps between them. Major glares ensue.
Let’s go where there is a little peace and quiet, shall we? Bea is tending to Marina at the hospital and Marina addresses the Thank You issue that has been bugging commenter Ana and a few more of us out on the patio. She wants to thank the fire chief for saving her life. Uh no, says Bea, it was no fireman, “It was El Capitan Damian Fabre who went in to save you.”
El Cap is in the park striking a beatific pose when he is beset by a group of adoring children. They tussle affectionately. He takes them shopping.
Loser - Bea explains that Dam also saved Hernan, who had tried to save Marina but failed miserably, becoming yet again not an asset but a liability. Marina gazes into the distance and sighs El Cap is indeed a great man. Amen sister. She says she’s got to give him up. Estupida.
PPA! -(Product Placement Alert) Pestercita and MyYaYa are stuffing their faces with Sabritas, and Pester is over the moon that Dam defended her against daddy, and no more Mayuyeses por favor. As the ladies strategically flash their bags of chips, Mayuya suggests that Pester should get knocked up on her honeymoon, that way DamFine can’t leave her.
Capitan Perfecto does love the kiddies. He’s driving them around in his spiffy yellow Jeep (?); first stop the toy store. Saint Damian pays the bill for all the gender-appropriate toys and everyone is happy, Awwwwww.
We haven’t seen El Comandante in a couple of days, or has it only been a couple of hours? Gotta check with Mauricio on that. Anyhoo, El C’s guy says the fingerprint results have come back and they are positive. Jazmin is Luisa Jimenez. El C says JazLu and her sister must be in great danger so he’s got to figure out the best way to help them.
Elsewhere in R-Lay-Dee Laz and Jaz are spending a happy afternoon downtown. As the anvils gather overhead he asks her to marry him.
Is there a female equivalent to Eddie Haskell? Nellie Oleson? Judy Hensler? Mayuya hopes Pestercita doesn’t mind that Mayuya is taking her space, poor Delfina is so sad since The Pest left. Pestercita says no problem, just don’t touch my s**t or I’ll have your head on a platter. Mayuya sucks up, You’re my best amiga! As they hug Mayuya thought bubbles “You don’t know how much I hate you. I hope Dam takes you far away and leaves you there so I’ll never see you again.”
El C’s assistant can tell something is bothering the Comandante. El C says he’s broken a rule and has become emotionally involved with the victim. He hopes his emotions don’t screw up the investigation.
Marina is about to get out of the hospital, she is surrounded by her aunt and two moms. Tia Becky keeps giving Mercedes the sideways “why are you here?” glance. Marina can’t understand how the fire started. Mercedes says according to the fire report it was arson. No puede ser!
Over at the beach Olinto is giving Dam and Bagre the same news. We are also witnessing a tragedy...WL is not wearing WET WHITE PANTS. Sorry Olinto, don’t bother jumping into the water for us. They wonder if the arsonists were after Dam, Marina, or both. Dam wants Bagre to get cracking on taking care of their big catch because the fishery needs their fish now more than ever. He wants things resolved before he goes sailing. HisRoyalHotness says as soon as he gets back from his bogus honeymoon he’s going to split up with Estercita.
The Pest gripes to her “friend” that Dam doesn’t love her. Mayuya says who cares? Pester’s married and now she has all the time in the world to conquer DamFab. Nopis Pest says, Dam already wants a divorce.
Marina can’t believe it was arson. She was in her office and didn’t hear a thing. Merce says she’s going to beef up the alarms and security in the new building. Mari tells Mercedes she has a friend who wants to be a partner in the fishery. Bea butts in, says they’ve known him since secondary school and he’s completely trustworthy. Shut up Bea! Merce doesn’t like the idea, but Marina thinks they could use his money so that Merce doesn't have to foot the whole bill. Clearly Mercedes does not want to say NO to her daughter.
Jaz is worried about her sister, as usual. Nereo is the only one who knows where she is. But Lazaro’s got a plan. He whips out a gun, he’s going to take care of Nereo. Jaz thinks (knows) he’s loco.
El C and his gang are already casing Nereo’s pad, guns raised. El C says he doesn’t believe Nereo is JazLu’s brother, with patience he thinks Nereo will lead them to one of the heads of the white slave traffic organization.
Mercedes doesn’t want a permanent partner; Marina says it will only be temporary and as soon as they rebuild the fishery and pay back Hernan things will go back to the way they are now. Tia Becky says Hernan seems OK but they could investigate him. (Great idea!!) Mercedes says no, she’ll trust Marina’s judgement and she’s very proud of Marina blah blah blah. Tia Becky keeps giving Mercedes the suspicious stink eye. She says last night she was Very Impressed by Mercedes’ attentions to Marina. It’s as if she were Part Of The Family. Mercedes can’t deny it, she has as much affection for Marina as if she were her own daughter.
While Pestercita gripes about Dam being stolen by Marina and not loving her Mayuya keeps holding up Pester’s dresses and admiring herself, lol! Mayuya says quit yer bitchin’ and just seduce him, it’s the oldest trick in the book.
Who woke up the acolyte? - Jaz tells Laz to stay far away from her if he’s going to be carrying that gun. She is royally pithed off, no doubt about it. She doesn’t want a tragedy! He grabs her and lays a big, fat kiss on her right in the middle of the street.
He speaks! - Mercedes and Awesome Jose head back to the DF to take care of Magdalena business. Mercedes goes a little gaga because Marina hugged her. It was the most marvelous feeling she’s ever had, yada yada yada. Jose pipes up that the call of the blood is stronger than time, than distance. Mercedes is optimistic that one day Marina will call her...mamá.
Marina walks toward the beach and runs into that worker who was the victim of spousal abuse. She’s with her husband and kids. Marina notices the worker is sporting a new shiner and decides to have a one on one with hubs, excusing wifey and the kids. Marina calls hubs a savage wife-beater and rips him a new one. Marina goes on and on and, oddly, the wife and children are just a few steps away and seem to be enjoying the show. Marina promises that if he continues to hit his wife and children she’ll see he goes to jail, the company lawyer has already started taking action. ”Maybe jail will turn you into a real man and not some macho caricature!”
Padre T and Rosario are having their usual discussion, that Ros is making a mama’s boy out of Laz. Padre T is concerned that Laz suddenly wants to marry. Rosario is doing some needlework and jabs herself in the finger when Padre T wonders why she never shared Laz’s paternity with him. Ouch! Padre T thinks maybe Laz needs some paternal guidance right about now. “Who is Lazaro’s father?”
Why, he’s the guy who is toasting the demise of the empacadora, that’s who. He is enjoying Hernan’s hospitality and surmising that Marina won’t find it so easy to rebuild. Hernan smugly suggests that maybe if somebody invested... WHO in their right mind would be so silly as to invest? cackles Fulgencio. ‘I did,” says Hernan, “I’ve offered to be a partner.”
Marina wanders through the burned fishery and thought bubbles about how the employees have worked so hard, the work of Dam’s ship and crew, all their dreams went up in smoke, “I feel so alone.”
Just then DamFab arrives and reassures her, his woman, she will always be a strong woman and he will always be by her side whatever happens. When he gets back he’ll divorce Estercita and then nothing will separate them. They’ll work together to realize their dreams. Sigh. Don’t cry because it breaks my heart. Double sigh.
“What did you do?” demands Fully. Hernan reminds him for the umpteenth time he loves Marina. Fully thinks Hernan has completely lost his marbles. Hernan thinks Fulgencio does not and never has understood women. Not to worry, because ALL is going to go according to their plans. Once Hernan gets into the fishery he’ll take it over as planned. Hernan reassures Fully that he has prepared something to “take care of” DamFab on his honeymoon.
Hernan says soon Dam will be nothing but an annoying memory. He clinks Fully’s glass, grins broadly and thought bubbles “Although your daughter will also pay with her life. Bwahahahaha!!!!”
Pestercita enjoys a bubble bath and giggles that she will be soon be freed from Don Fulgencio. She admires her sexy, toweled bod in the mirror and can't wait to head off on her honeymoon.
Marina pulls away and says Dam has caught her in a moment of weakness. He’s pithed that she’s using usted with him again. She says por favor and he snaps back “Por favor TU, Por favor TU!” Sigh...where was I? Oh right, He needs her to be strong. He needs them to fight together. Not possible, she says. He wonders where is the Marina who always fights? She says that Marina doesn't’ exist for him. She tells him to stop calling her amor, he’s a married man. Oh by the way, she doesn't need his hot help because Hernan is going to be her partner in the fishery and will work directly with her. That shut his yummy mouth pretty quickly. Darn.
Back at Casa de Lambiscon, Fulgencio drives off and Valdivia and Lara drive up. They inform Hernan that the honeymoon is going to go off as planned. ‘I”ve got you now Damian Fabre...just as soon as you’re far enough from the coast to be blown to pieces!”
Dam is incensed, how could Marina partner with that imbecile knowing how Dam feels about him? He sure doesn’t like the idea of that idiot being her new boss. Mari says he’s not her boss. Dam straight, says DamFine, my hotness is the boss of you. Your heart knows it and your skin feels it. Don’t ignore it because your body screams what your lips deny.
She says she doesn’t have time for explanations, Dam will just have to accept it. Dam cries bulls**t on her, she has never stopped loving him and he’s got proof. It’s a big, smashy kiss but...it’s split by a lightning strike.
Mañana: Dam doesn’t know how to trim sails, but I’m willing to give him lessons.
Amigas y amigos, today is the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest speeches in all of humankind. Never stop dreaming. Never stop improving our world. Never stop doing positive. No matter how small our acts of justice and kindess may seem they DO make a difference. Sometimes we’ll never know how they matter, but they do. Keep the faith.

Marvelous, superb, awesome recap! You rock!
Ay yi yi, DamFab and Marina. He got married again, why??? He's got such a big heart, but an illogical brain is all I can say. He should have never married Pester. Her reputation will never change.
I liked your name for Mayuya, MyYaYa, I'd like to borrow that! What a snake in the grass she is. Poor Delfina, I feel bad for her.
So I'm hoping that the feelings that the Commandante has are not being "involved" with Jaz. I hope they stay fatherly, so to speak.
I too am glad that Marina was informed of who really saved her. Now she really owes his Damliciousness, I wonder how she'll pay him back, hmmmm.....
Bad move for a partnership with Herny. I bet he either wants to run the money he makes from the trafficking through there, or maybe put the girls there somehow. Blech on him and Fully.
I noticed on yesterdays recap someone had a question about the shares. Marina outright owns 50% of the fishery. She earned it in the first big fish haul from DamFab's boat and plus she had plans of going international. I recapped that epi and that's why Mercedes told her to deal with DamFab and his resignation. She is the boss of him so to speak. As far as I know Mercedes owns the other half for right now. I think she wants to give the other half to Magdalena at some point. I think Ariel would have left them that fishery anyway. Just speculation, not a spoiler.
Tia Becky is one wise woman. I think she knows something is going on and I think she might be the first one to actually know the relationship with Marina and Mercedes. Maybe she remembers seeing Mercedes, "stalking" er hanging around Marina in the past.
Thanks so much again, Capitana!

Today is My Royal Hotness BD. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, WILLIAM.
I stay up late today and it's worth it: I'm one of the few first one to leave the comment.
My hat off to all of you, the recappers. I become addict to the blog as much as to WL and his TN.
I can not write much, because English is my 3rd language (I master none of them !! ) I just try my best to express how much I enjoy this site, and how much I admire you ,the recappers, who write so fast so we all can have fun.
(It took me one week to write 5 pages report.I am a foreign exchange college student).
Love this site.
Vivien

Wonderful recap. Cap'n; enjoyed it so much for breakfast!
Loved your, "Dam straight, says DamFine...".
My cable station blurred out the name of the chips, I wondered why, because they obviously worked very hard to place the product well in sight. I wondered if the Sabritas company didn't pay their Time Warner bill, or perhaps a rival company was sponsoring this art tonight.
OH yeah, I saw the anvils, too over Lazaro and Jasmin.
OH yes, Marina, all the rulebooks say when confronting a middle-aged insecure abusive male, having a 26 year old former Miss Universe come along and verbally castrate him will be especially helpful. You go, girl. The writers of these TN's must be all under the age of 25.
Madelaine-so funny, the stalking mother-definately unique to the TN world.

Incredible. Sylvia, this was downright delicious. "Dam straight, says DamFine, my hotness is the boss of you" had me smiling away.
"Mucky Mag", "beatific pose", "DaFab’s damluscious lips", "Why, he’s the guy who is toasting the demise of the empacadora, that’s who" and "heinous offer" (one of my favorite words) also sparkled. Fantastic.
Would have to give the nod to Pesty to being slightly more delusional than Hernan. Dam has made it perfectly clear he does not want her and outright can barely stand her (his gallant defending her to Fully aside). Although Marina seemed clear she did not want to be with Hernan romantically, her agreeing to go into business with him has caused an imagined opening in Hernan's mind. The fact that he could care less about Pesty dying along with Damian proves he is a cold, callous killer.
I don't want to be mean spirited but when Laz kisses Jaz, is it just me or it is blatantly uninspired, emotionless kissing?know, what can comare with WL, but still...
Madelaine, I think MyYaYa and Hernan would be a great couple. She is venomous, for certain!
Vivien, thank you for the news it's WL's birthday. I think you write marvelously and the fact that English is your third language is very impressive!
EMarie: "OH yes, Marina, all the rulebooks say when confronting a middle-aged insecure abusive male, having a 26 year old former Miss Universe come along and verbally castrate him will be especially helpful". Excellent!
Sylvia, thank you for mentioning Dr. King. Along with a few speeches of JFK and EMK (who did the eulogy at his brother's, President Kennedy's funeral), the "Dream" speech ranks among my favorites. Itwas beautiful and still tugs at my heartstrings, all these years later. Timeless and enduring.

Cap'n, a masterpiece.
Vivien-what an excellent comment in English. Three languages is truly a gift and thanks for the birthday trivia.
I thought that the Comandante was trying to gain Jaz's confidence and hoped that he hadn't fallen for her, but I see that my fears came to light. He is a nice man but way too old for her. He would be better suited for Candi.
I can't wait until Bea finds out about the real Hernan. Ugh!!
Thank goodness for Tia Becky, she has the brains and common sense of those two siblings.
Yes, Jose is awesome. He is pleasing to the eyes and has a wonderful protective personality not to mention that his arms look like small children in those smedium shirts.
Pestercita needs a new beginning-domineering father and toxic friend, I almost feel sorry for her. Almost the operative word. I wish that she could go away and learn to be humble but then there would be no sub plot.

Tks Cap't Sy
Welcome Vivien, practice your English on us. What languages do you speak? Most of us are trying to learn Spanish, so we can sympathize.
Are we expecting the get him drunk so I can get pregnant cliche. Hope the sailboat is anchored.
A sailboat is just the place for someone that gets seasick, pack plenty of Dramamine Estercita.
And now Hernán is going to show Dam just how grateful he is for saving his wretched life.
Feliz cumpleaños #33 sweet William.

Great job Sylvia, and thanks for the shout out to the March on Washington and the IHAD speech.
Welcome Vivien! Your English is great. Comment more often.
I hope Hernan triple checks this time to make sure Marina isn't on the sail boat when he tries to blow it up. We know something has to go wrong. I hope the corrupt police are ready for another b!tch slap from Hernan.
I wonder why they are blurring Sabritas now, when they showed us the vending machine in the first weeks?
I was cheering when Becky suggested the check into Hernan's background. But nope, Mercedes is going to trust Marina's instincts. Marina's people instincts suck! Has she even asked Hernan once what exactly his business is, and why it's brought him to R-Lady?

Good morning everyone and thank you for your early comments. I will be heading out the door in a few hours (if I can get Mr. Sharkbait out of bed that is) for a long weekend of camping. One never knows about internet coverage these days so I am enjoying hearing from you all now.
Dearest Diana, no you are not mean-spirited in your comment about Lazaro. He clearly got coached but I don't think his heart was in it. I doubt he'll ever be in WL's league.
Viven, welcome!! So glad you have joined us and thank you for the info about WL. English your 3rd language? I'm impressed. The Patio of Lowered Expectations will be having a birthday party for Sweet William tonight and tequila shots will be half-off.
Emarie, ITA about the absurdity of the scene between Marina and beater man. Your description of it is pure brilliance. However I did laugh when she called him a macho caricature.
I think they are still teasing us about El Comandante. There is the air of ambiguity about his "emotional involvement" with her.

Vita-
I laughed when they showed DamFab with the children, continuing to paint him as the perfect galan. So I scoured my brain to remember a few more things that make him imperfect.
He's a bit of a male chauvinist-- Remember his early attitude about a woman in the fishing business and a woman as a boss. Marina has already changed his attitude about this.
He's totally clueless about the reasons women go into prostitution, and doesn't seem to get that many are actually forced into it. Giving that human trafficking is the background story in the tn, I'm sure he will soon learn all about it and rescue some women. LOL!
I had to laugh at Marina's face off with the abusive husband. In the real world, that wife would get a major beating when they got home that night for opening her mouth to her nosey boss, and causing his humiliation- and by a woman, no less.

How funny, I didn't even notice the Sabritas label was blurred. I guess I just recognized the packaging.
Vivi, I was a bit annoyed at DamFarFromPerfect last night. He very easily justifies his going on a honeymoon because he doesn't want to hurt Estercita or some such bull. Yet he expects Marina to sit around and wait for him to resolve that pesky detail of him being married. He should resolve his marriage problem first, THEN talk to Marina about their relationship. Also, a honeymoon on a sailboat? There is nothing more intimate and DamFab will not be able to escape The Pest. Bad choice of honeymoon venue.

The sailboat honeymoon should be a hoot, really! With Pester's seasickness, there shouldn't be any hanky panky, unless some butter or anti motion sickness pills were packed. I feel so sorry for both of them. He doesn't love her, she knows it, she will try to seduce him, will he or won't he? Should be MUST SEE TV, lol.
Sylvia- Yeah. What is it with MARRIED galans always insisting that their galana declare her love, allow him to kiss her (or more) whenever he wants, and wait for him? Dude, get your divorce first (or at least a legal separation), and THEN we'll talk.
I would roll my eyes too if a guy told me he was about to go off on his honeymoon, but then demanded that I wait for him.

Thank you for all the warm welcome. I will try to write more often if you don't mind my broken English.
Diana,
Did your post your notes somewhere in defending WL. I remember to read your name and love it .
Viriopinta,
I do speak French, besides my native tongue. But, again broken French too.
Vivi, Jefa and Cap'n,
Thanks for the nice words of encouragement. I learn a lot by reading your blogs.I think I improve a lot both English and Spanish. Spanish will be my 4th.HAHA, just joking.
Back to the comment,I find one flaw of HRH Dam Fam. He is a liar, he tries to show the world how tough ,mean, rude he is. Yet he hide his real character of sweet, soft and tender, remember when he give money to the church.
So he matches perfectly with Marina, she also lie to herself, she total melt to Dam but still verbally rejects him .
This is his flaw, but I still love him, true love. Isn't it?

Back to the comment,I find one flaw of HRH Dam Fam. He is a liar, he tries to show the world how tough ,mean, rude he is. Yet he hide his real character of sweet, soft and tender, remember when he give money to the church.
So he matches perfectly with Marina, she also lie to herself, she total melt to Dam but still verbally rejects him .
This is his flaw, but I still love him, true love. Isn't it?

Hi Vivian. Welcome. That was my mother-in-law's name but I won't hold it against you. We're all language learners here and we're not into criticizing each other--encourage and support only! So comment away...we love hearing from new people.
Sylvia, you had so much fun with DamFabulous in this one. Although frankly, I felt like I needed a glucose tolerance test with all those sticky sweet moments showing him contributing the the poor, the imprisoned and "suffer the little children to come unto me 'cause I'm gonna take 'em to the toy store." TOO MUCH! Okay, we get it. He's a hero. A sexy hero with luscious lips and a take-no-prisoners body. So let the lovin' begin.
Whoa...we're getting that ick vibe from el Comandante again. With Mads, I'm hoping it's just paternal interest and that there's a lovely Mrs. Comandante at home waiting for his return.
Sylvia...my favorite line was "that shuts his yummy mouth pretty quick". Yum yum..savoring that image. Now roust Mr. Sharkbait out of bed and get going, lady. And thanks for an equally yummy recap.

Sylvia, what a great recap. You had me laughing all the way through. Enjoy camping.
JudyB, I thought that in next episode we'd see DamFab donating his kidney and wheeling demented patients in the garden. Maybe rescuing puppies? The show piles it up with a heavy hand. We get it, he is perfect! Now, let's see him in the rain, in the ocean, in the shower, and please display the WWP (WET WHITE PANTS) longer!
Vivi, His Hotness is just a big misguided softy, isn't he?
The Force Named Pester continues to advance. She alternates between screeching, begging, and manic fantasies. Still my favorite. The actress is amazing. And gorgeous.
I admit that TN's realism and logic are lacking but it makes up for it with sincerity and lots of great energy and intensity.

Thanks for this great Sylvia recap, Sylvia. Nicely done.
I cringed during Marina's confrontation with that abusive husband. She pretty much guaranteed that poor lady another beating. Not only was it emasculating but in front of his children as well. Will St. Damián end up having to deal with this guy?
Too bad that Estercita is such a pill. She looks so good wrapped up in a towel.
Will Damián be visiting the old folks at the nursing home tonight or is it his day to volunteer at the animal shelter?

Wonderful Cap'n...or should I say Cap-I-tan? Inspired by Marina insisting on calling DamFab by that name.
So we are suffering thru the required TN rules of a galena who is clueless on the true evil ones around her.And of course, the careful business woman Mercedes will throw caution to the wind and just trust her girl instead of being business smart on the supposed new partner. That should take care of creating a good portion of the plot for awhile.
"Fully thinks Hernan has completely lost his marbles" Kettle calling the kettle black? But Cesar plays evil and manipulating so well, I just enjoy watching him. He and Sergio Goyri - masters.
Pester and her kvetching are like nails on a blackboard to me. My heart goes out to DamFab having to listen to that on a boat ALONE with her. Can we predict "Man Overboard!". Maybe Madeleine's prediction will come true and she'll be green in the cabin hold most of trip.
The scene with the kiddies was cute since we got a WL smile/laugh moment. But gees, we get his saintliness already. And I want to see the pirate treasure he has hidden to get an idea where all this money is coming from.
Gonna miss those hot smacks for awhile. Don't think any besos between HRH and Her Royal Whininess will be as stirring ( all the more pity for us). But it should get hot on that there boat, so maybe some gratuitous shirtless moments to tide us over???
Hate to say--really bored with Laz/Jaz.
Welcome Vivien!!

Wow wow wow...just saw the first half before writing my earlier comment. But yowza, that final kiss! Thought my hot flashes were over, but one came back BIG-TIME. Step aside, Jaime Camil and Fernando Colunga, Dam Fabulous is in town.
Cap'n Sylvia - such a wonderful, fun recap. A Dam many Fab highlights you captured with your wit. Thank you once again.
All I can say for now is..... Dam that EAU-SO-SAUVAGE kiss! Let me breath first.

Marina has a very strong moral compass. I know that DamFab has a moral compass too but not like Marina as far as she is concerned. I'm with Vivi, he shouldn't ask her to wait, that is just plain wrong. She loves him yes, will she wait, we'll have to see, but it wasn't fair of him to ask her, when he hasn't resolved his marriage situation. Pester will not give up easily, they will have a long road to go, before Pester eva gives up on DamFab.
Vivien:
Welcome and I too am impressed with your English. It is very good. Please come and comment often : )

thanks, Sylvia, for that most excellent recap. I especially enjoyed all the adjectives you used to describe His RoyalHotness.
regarding Saint Damian's many fine qualities, let's not forget to add volunteer fireman to our list. My real fireman friend Herbie told me that not all firemen actually go into the burning building, so kudos to DamDam, the Fireman.
However, we have to admit that this great human being makes some epically bad decisions, verdad ? He marries PesterEster to save her reputation (which cannot be saved, no way, no how) because...well, because SHE'S ESTER. Then, he announces that he plans to divorce her hours after the BIG church wedding and BIG, groomless, pathetic reception. And now, he is going to take her on a honeymoon on a tiny sailboat. WHATAGUY. Really, dude?? You did not even attend the wedding reception, but you think it is a good idea to go on a honeymoon with Crazy ???? Let's just say that I am glad that this hombre is not making any decisions that involve me in any way.

Vivien..welcome. I teach ESL, and only a few of my students can speak three or four languages. Most of them are just trying to master English. I am struggling with Spanish. I studied French and Latin, but I am fluent in neither. Caraycaray is a wonderful place for you to practice English.

Forgot to say, Vivien - this is a welcoming group and your English is great. It's my second language as well, I understand the struggle.
DamFab/Pester combination reminds me of all the men that believe they are separated/going through divorce, almost divorced/living in the basement, and the wives who think they are still very married.
Marina busting the abuser's balls. Sometimes it takes a genuine expression of anger to make an abused woman see how not normal things are. I don't think the abuser would change but the woman might stop taking the abuse.
And the KISS. Hard to top an angry kiss used as a sexual weapon in place of the strongest argument.
One last thought: let's hope DamFab, as a part of sainthood, donates his sperm to a sperm bank to allow women have cute DamFab babies. Where do I sign? Kidding. No, seriously, just kidding.

Heck no, good idea Vita! I wouldn't mind some DamFab grandchildren.
Susanlynn, your analysis of DamFab's poor decisions reminds me of a comment on Corazón Indomable today...."CRAZY, STUPID OR A COMBO PLATTER OF BOTH".
Great description of a number of our folks in these stories right now.

Ooh...ooh...my favorite line..maybe ever..."my hotness is the boss of you." I am going to try to work that one into my conversations as often as possible from now on.

Thank you Cap'n, that was great, I was/am smiling & laughing out loud! "sorry Olinto, don't bother..." and, His Royal Hotness -heeheee.
I liked the kids jumping on top of DamFab, (it felt real and unscripted) but then I'm with JudyB - enough already!
The end scene was enough to make me almost forget about the absurdity of the "verbal castration" of the golpeador!
Laz/Jaz/boring...I agree.
Hi Vivien, comment more - it's fun, as I am finding out!
Cap'n thanks for the shout out and inspiring words on MLK's speech:-)Ana

Cap'n Sylvia - Muchas Gracias. Great recap. My favorite lines have already been mentioned, but this one was cute too: "Sorry Olinto, don’t bother jumping into the water for us."
Hoping DamFab has too many marbles to boink Estercita on this trip, even if she gets him drunk. Prolonged marriage by forced pregnancy is soooo played out.

Cap'n Sylvia, thank you thank you for this marvelous recap!
Loved seeing DamFab and the kids. He really does have a BIG heart although he acts like a brute sometimes. I want to know how much he makes a fisherman? He must make a lot to be able to afford to make those monthly donations plus buy equipment for the inmates' woodworking and mechanical classes plus buying all those toys for all those kids.
Emarie: It was Univision who blurred out the Sabritas logo not your cable company. Univison probably blurred it out since Sabritas is a Mexican product.
I liked that scene with Esthercita and Mayuya enjoying the Sabritas. I personally would love to see DamFab eating some Sabritas too.
Lazaro and the gun - The boy does have a dark side, doesn't he? What would Rosario say if she saw him with that gun? She'd probably have a heart attack.
The actor playing Lazaro (Enrique Zepeda) is a new actor which would explain why his kissing isn't that good. I think he just needs more practice and he'll get better with time.
Happy Birthday William Levy!! :)

I loved how Tia Becky suggested they investigate Hernan. It is such a shame that Mercedes did not take her advice and preferred to just trust Marina and whatever decision it is that Marina makes.
I also loved the suspcious looks Tia Becky was giving Mercedes. She knows that something is strange with the way that Mercedes behaves around Marina.

Fabulous recap, Cap'n! Your writing is so fun and witty. A pleasure to read! I also liked your comments about MLKs speech.
Does anyone else think Hernan is an idiot for not knowing Fulgencio is gonna be royally pithed when Herny kills his daughter? I can't believe Herny toasts Dams death w Fully and doesn't think it's a problem to kill his only child (that H knows of) in the process!? Stupid!
I am loving Tia Rebecca more every epi. She may have a bit of a drinking problem but she's got a heck of a lot more street smarts than most of these other characters.
Thanks, Cap'n!
Katy

Could it be the booze that makes Tia Becky so smart? She is the voice of reason but no one ever seems to listen to her advice.
Katy- I think Hernan is fully aware that Fully will be enraged when he kills his daughter. Hernan doesn't care, and he's likely looking forward to seeing Fully suffer. But, he also thinks he's Fully's boss, so he really doesn't think Fully can do anything to him to retaliate.
We in the audience know that Fully is already planning on going over Hernan's head to contact the Big Boss directly. How much do you want to bet that the Big Boss turns out to be Mercedes' ex-pimp/nemesis Ernesto?

Vivi:
You are always right on the money, and I bet he is the big boss too.
If Herny manages to get rid of Ester I wonder what Fully will do in revenge? That should be interesting. I'm not holding my breath, though, cause Herny's mis planes almost always go wrong. As a matter of fact, none of them have gone right except of course for worming his way into the Empacadora (sp) unless Mercedes gets a whiff of something fishy ; )

Sylvia thanks so much for your recap and your encouraging last paragraph.
ITA w/those of you who continue to question the thought processes of our captain, wow. Happy Birthday WL!!
Welcome Vivian. Your English is good and please comment more.
For all of his crazy, Herny is such an inept criminal. I can't wait to see how his next plan will fail.
Mads, I really want you to be right but I think the Commandante is not feeling fatherly to Jaz. And her plot with Laz, who is still learn to kiss falls flat for me too.

Yes, the Laz/Jaz storyline falls more than flat ... it's flatlined. There is absolutely more chemistry between them and Jazmin looks years older than Laz, which in itself doesn't bother me, but somehow she doesn't have the look of the "sweet young innocent" that the story is trying to convey.
I, too, hope that Damian doesn't get too drunk and falls for Ester's advances and she winds up pregnant. Specifically, I hope he's not mooning and moaning over Marina to the extent that his drunken self imagines he's making love to her (when it's actually the Pest).
Mercedes should smarten up about Hernan. Didn't Jose tell her about the time he had to pull a gun on one of his henchies as Hernan screamed "matalo" to his man to kill Damian?
Damian IS a bit of a caveman, saying he's Marina's owner when she said she had no owner. However, she keeps sending mixed signals to both men. She tells Damian, "go with on your honeymoon," then says, "so, you're going?" - make up your mind, woman! Also, she makes it (sort of) clear to Hernan that she's not romantically interested in him, yet agrees to work for him and then "see where the relationship goes" - really? It will be her own fault when his obsessive stalkerishness escalates.
And again, I hope no one thinks Marina's method of wife-beater confrontation is the way to go and they decide to confront a beater themselves! Not only is the abuser liable to take it out on his wife, he's liable to punch or push down the confronter as well!

In one of WL's comm with the lady cop, she was eating another type of chip (I think Fritos) & WL was eating Sabritos

Thank you, Sylvia, for this thoroughly lovely recap -- from its perfectly chosen title to its thoughtful afterword and everything in between.
I'm not too worried about the honeymoon asea (though I am touched by your generous offer to help Dam Sweet trim his sails). After all, we have to get PesterDam off the Dam sailboat before it explodes, right?
I think it's clear that our dear bushy-browed comandante has romantic feelings for JazLu. But why does everyone insist that makes him a creep? (Well unless there's Mrs. Bushybrow and seven little Bushybrows at home waiting for him.) It's the acolyte with the gun that scares me.
"We are also witnessing a tragedy...WL is not wearing WET WHITE PANTS. Sorry Olinto, don’t bother jumping into the water for us."
¿y por qué no? Olinto is a people pleaser. I think he'd do it if everyone on the Patio asked him nicely.

I just read yesterday's recap. Thanks Mauricio. I don't know how all you recappers do it. It is so much, but every one of you always deliver.
I actually cried during Mercedes' flashbacks. It was really sad. She reminds me alot of my aunt.
Thanks Cap'n Sylvia. Love Mayuya's new name: Mayaya! and funniest quote of all: "Dam straight, says DamFine, my hotness is the boss of you. " Good luck on your camping trip.
I feel like Tia Becky and Jose is the only one with brains here. I love Jose in this TN, he isn't anything like the douchy character, Amador, that he played in Cuidado con el Angel.
I agree with Variopinta, I hope we don't have a "I am pregnant by Damfab according to Pestercita" plot on our way. That would be so annoying.
I can't believe it's William Levy's birthday. I hope he ages gracefully so that we can always swoon at his hotness for years to come. I am all for cloning if it includes cloning William Levy and then all of us can have a William Levy. I think I have been watching too many telenovelas that I am starting to think that is a feasible plan. Dios mio!

Caroline- Give his son a few years to grow up, and I think we'll have a good "clone" candidate to replace his daddy.
Oh Capitana, What a rocking good recap in your inimitable style. A true Sylvia recap as Carlos pointed out. I loved the vocabulary builder: ZARPAR - To set sail or weigh anchor. Lovely word that we can wish on various annoying people later. Do we know the words for Cement Boots? Let's see: Botas or Botines (ankle length - surely what we will need eventually) plus De Cemento. And Sylvia you do deserve to give Dam-ilicious proper sailing lessons as soon as you get back from camping.
Vivien, welcome to writing in English, you are doing a fine job and your wit and intelligence shine through so we can all use your insights. I am brushing up on Italian and French for my trip next week to, where else, Italy and France, so I sympathize but I know that when I keep trying to write in Spanish which I do at least once a week and forget that I am going to make errors, it is the only way to improve. Communication is always the most important thing to remember.

hmmm...If PesterEster survives and hasn't managed to seduce DamNoble, do you think she might use Hernan to get pregnant and then claim DamTrapped is the bebe's daddy ? Yikes...I am starting to think like a telenovela villain...or writer.

Another thing, or two. Thanks so much for the acknowledgement of Dr. King's speech anniversary. I have been glued to the tv watching the anniversary celebration and all the talk shows and interviews with the angelic John Lewis. Charlie Rose really had a fine table full of writers that have written about Dr. King and the history of the civil rights movement and the travail of people just wanting to live a dignified life with as much value as anyone else's. I just hope we can get another voting rights bill passed that the Supreme Court can't eviscerate again.
hi, Cheryl...ooohh..Italy and France. I envy you and would love to join you on your trip. I loved Italy when we went there to visit our daughter while she was studying in Florence for a semester, but I have always dreamed of going to France. Our other daughter was engaged there. Bon Voyage. I hope that you have a wonderful trip.

Susanlynn, I am right there with you on thinking Ester Pesky will try to fool everyone into thinking she is pregnant or will get Dam drunk and tell him he did the deed or like you say, get Herny to fertilize her so she can blame Dam. Oh blech, she will be such a rotten mother, kind of like Veronica over on PEAM.
But I was irritated too that Dam-pleased with himself wants her to declare undying love while he tidies up his wretched marriage life. Again I say blech!

Thank you for doing this. I loved this recap, starting with "Hernan's heinous offer." Sooo well stated, my friend.
I am sorry to be so late to the Patio today. I wish I could have been here earlier to enjoy the lively conversation.
El Commandante Robles and his little friends crack me up. They are supposed to be surveiling Nareo, right? What's with the guns drawn and the bright white shirts that could be seen at 200 yards???
As to your last comment in the recap, I concur completely. Keep the faith!

I kept thinking how silly it was for the cops to have drawn their guns when they didn't do anything.
Mauricio...I debated between PesterEster and Festerester, but decided to go with the P.
as for the cops, they are not taking any chances just in case they do happen to bump into a bad guy. Be prepared is obviously their motto.

By Jove, I think you've got it! I agree, Bad Ernesto with the black eye bags should be the BIG Bad Boss...it would tie everything together. Ernesto's backstory with Mercedes creeps me out, and even after she escaped him, he kidnapped one of her children. That is just a hideous story.
Warning, RANT ahead.
To all who have commented on Marina's encounter with the batterer, it was a terrible PSA. As has already been said, his wife will probably get a beating next time in places not so visible as her face and Marina may have put herself in danger, as well. Stupid, stupid, stupid. (I used to run a battered women's shelter in San Francisco in a previous life).
Producers, the best thing for you to do is work to use your influence and money to to change the laws in your country so abusers can be prosecuted, AND, simultaneously create longer term safe havens for women and their children, where they can heal and learn job and life skills.
Televisa --Public service announcements are great. but put your money where your mouth is— Make sure that women watching this telenovela who are living with abuse have somewhere safe to go and build a new life.

ITA. Blech on Damian's request of Marina. It is unreasonable to say the least.
Blech on his stupid trip with Ester.
Blech on Ester already being pregnant or her passing off a kid as Damian's.
He is hot, and he sure as hell is a great kisser, but I am not as taken with St Damian as some are...William Levy, on the other hand, I think he is fabulous.
