La Tempestad, Capitulo 12. August 13th 2013. Madrina has spoken "Marina Is Your Destiny". Listen to her, Damian!
Marina meets up with two employees at the plaza. One of the employees cries and the other employee comforts her. Marina wants to know what is wrong and offers her help. The crying employee's husband hit her and she wants to leave him but is too scared. If he hit you then he does not deserve you. He's a coward. You have to press charges, says Marina. How can I do that? He's the father of my children, says the crying employee. He owes you respect because you're his wife and have given part of your life to him and among all things because you're a woman. If your husband does not respect you then you should demand it, says Marina. The comforting employee had told the crying employee the same thing but the crying employee is too scared. Don't be scared. You are not alone. I'll help you, says Marina. Marina tells the employees to go see Olinto so he can put them in contact with the company lawyer. Marina asks them to keep her informed on what happens. The crying employee thanks Marina for her help. I'm also a woman and I can't stand being taken advantage of. That's why we should fight to show others that we are worth the same or more than men, says Marina.
Damian pours his heart out to Madrina and tells her that he does not know how he fell in love with Marina. But ever since he met Marina his life has been a tempest of feelings and emotions. They fight all day but he can recognize her courage. She's the only woman that has confronted him and not only that she's the only one that has been able to defeat him sometimes. Madrina tells Damian that all that he has just said confirms her premonition. Damian tells Madrina that he has lived that tempest with an emotional imbalance. He now knows that his heart was telling him that the woman that he needed to make him happy had finally come. Madrina says that she always told him that the woman who he'd fall in love with would have the name of the sea and she was not mistaken. You are in love with Mar.in.a, says Madrina. (Get it. MAR-INA) Madrina asks Damian if he remembers Don Ariel. Damian doesn't. Madrina tells Damian that Don Ariel brought his daughter with him once to town and she and Damian were inseparable. You called her "trenzuda" (pigtails) and she called you "guerito" (blondie). Damian doesn't really remember everything but he does remember putting his handprints with her in wet cement. Madrina asks him if he remembers who the girl was and if he ever heard her name. Madrina says that the girl also had the name of the sea. Mar. Mar. Mar. says Madrina. Damian realizes that Madrina is talking about Marina. Damian says that it can't be. We haven't recognized each other, says Damian. You two were so young and you only saw each other once, says Madrina. Madrina tells Damian that Marina is his destiny.

Thanks so much for this most marvelous recap and those screencaps too. Especially of DamFab, sigh!
I am liking the Madrina. She is trying to talk some sense into DamFab, and I really hope she succeeds. If only!
Can't stand Estercita and her friend. What a fight Ester had with Marina. I wish Marina had kicked her butt. I hope Ester ends up in la carcel. She is loca!
I think our new mantra will be "Shut up Bea, and Shut up Rosario'! They both need to shut it. Their children are grown and can make their own decisions.
Anita:
I agree with your late comment from yesterday about no means no! DamFab sure took liberties with Marina, but I am glad he realized the big mistake he made. Now hopefully he can rectify it.
JudyB:
We will miss you amiga. Have fun with your guests and enjoy yourself!
I am liking the Padre. He knows what JazLu is, right?
I hated Nero chasing Bettina with that bow and arrow. I hope someone rescues her before he shoots that thing. Poor JazLu will blame herself it that happens.
Mauricio:
I also really liked your asides, especially Oh! Snap! one of my favorite sayings!
Oh, and Hernan overstepped himself didn't he? He is another one that doesn't take no for an answer. Marina doesn't need any protection, she is very strong like her Mama Mercedes. They are very much alike. If it came down to a fight, I bet Marina could take Hernan, hands down. Now DamFab, that's another story ; )
Every time I watch a telenovela, I wonder WHY? There is no logic to what the characters do, but then I have to remind myself that we are dealing with telenovela logic.
There are three things I found bothersome in La Tempestad: Beatriz, Estercita, and Damian's hair. Beatriz need to find some hobby and get off Marina's back or marry Hernan herself. She is so dense. Estercita is a trainwreck and Damian's hair is so frizzy. They should style it in a pony tail or curl it like Hernan or something.
So what are the nicknames? Pigtails and ?
In addition to having fun with Hernans colored pants, the wardrobe dept. is going great guns with Marinas maritime wardrobe. I've now seen two navy and white stripe tops, a pair of striped pants, even her work clothes are usually a solid dress in red, blue or white (remember the tennis dress?!). I think we will be seeing lots more stripes before this TN is over. Maybe we need an "Anchors Away" collection for the Storm Cellar Bay?!
Thanks again, Mauricio! Also loved your screencaps! You sure caught on quickly!

Is there a cornier word than corny? Last nights epi was so filled with those moments (i.e. image of Michel Fabre; madrina's premonitions; hair pulling), it's laughable. Yet, I am still enjoying this show.
Anita - as for Marina's reserved first kiss with the CapDamFab, I totally agree with your assessment. And since I am a huge WL fan, I may be biased, but I honestly think he is the best kisser in tn-land.
Yay, cat fight in the middle of town. That Estercita really is a loca with way too much free time on her hands.
Mads, I do not think Padre knows Jazlu's line of work.
Oh I just KNEW Bettina would whack Nereo but now I'm really worried for her safety. I agree with you Mauricio, she should have whacked and whacked some more. She needs to take lessons from our own Emilia!!
Katie, the nicknames are Pigtails and Blondie. And great idea for the Anchors Aweigh line of clothing!
Katy - I like Marina's sensible work clothes (style and colors). In most tns, the women are dressed inappropriately in 10inch platforms, super short hemlines, super plunging necklines, whether at work or not.
Madeleine:
Padre does not know the truth about JazLu. He like Rosario now believe that she is a nurse.
Thanks, I wasn't sure of Lazaro had told him he was seeing a girl "like that", not my words but Rosario's when she found out he liked one of the girls that worked at the club, I think. I thought he had told the Padre, but I guess the only ones that know are JazLu, Lazaro and DamFab.
This is a reposting of my observations on THE KISS from last night:
You all have been commenting on how stiff Marina was during their first kiss.
We should remember that she's intrigued by him, she went to the cavern to find him, did not expect a kiss--got a confrontation instead, provoked and started to give him a slap. Then an attractive man she feels something for gets very face-to-face close to her.
I think Marina the character was a bit nervous, but really got into it until El Dam Fab Cap put his hand under her blouse. She said no, but didn't back away from him. He tried again and that time she said no a little louder and backed away from him and left. It'll be interesting to watch how they treat each other knowing that they liked what happened.
Madrina Eusebia certainly is preparing the groundwork, taking them both back to a childhood episode that was sweet (though not memorable). This is what will help smooth out their rough encounters.
As far as the best kisser in the business, it has to be WL. (See the side bar, in between Dona Barbara and Al Diablo Con los Guapos--in my earlier incarnation, hehe.)
More later--it's a gorgeous day here and I'm going to spend it outside.
I am with you Mads, on the "Shut. Up. Bea/Rosario" refrain. When they speak I find my hands involuntarily come up to cover my ears.
Judy B.Hello dear amiga. Have a lovely time with your house guests and see you next week.
Sylvia: Estercita is a rare one alright. I bet she will take spoiled and entitled behavior to new lows in La Tempestad.
Shallowgal:
Ditto giggle on the laughable moments.
Elna June
I was looking forward to the hair-pulling, but the real treat last night was the skillet assault that Bettina laid on Nereo.
Carlos
Was at lunch at a sort of trendy salad place today and a twenty something guy walked in wearing...BRIGHT blue pants! Hernan, you trend setter!!
Katy
I went to JC Penny's the other day and not only did they have bright blue pants, they also had orange, and red in the Men's Department. Oh, my eyes, my eyes, lol.
Anita, will you be stocking any decent cast iron skillets??? I hoped Bettina's hesitant whacks might amount to Nereo out cold for at least a few minutes followed by a painful, lengthy headache. Alas...Obviously, the equipment needed more heft and weight. Sigh...Yes Sylvia, maybe Emilia could lend her one :)
Madelaine, I cringed when Nereo got out the bow and arrow. He could have easily brought a gun but it seemed he wanted to bring a weapon that he could "hunt" with that would inflict the most pain. I don't want to even consider what will happen if he catches her.
Caroline, Beatriz is certainly annoying and you are right, needs to find some worthy cause or something to occupy her time.
Judy, have a wonderful time with your guests. You will be missed.
Mauricio, thank you again!
Diana
At least Bea has a partner and those of us on the patio and shout shut up Bea/Rosario. If Bea is alive by the end of the TN, I wonder what she'll think of creepy Hernan when the truth comes out?
I also like the way she takes great pleasure in her friend's angst.
I also like the angular beauty of Jasmin though she hasn't really done anything to win me over yet.
Carlos
Mauricio, great recap, and I really appreciate the pictures. It's so enticing, one of these days I am actually going to start watching the show so I can join in the conversation.
CI - Shut up, Doris
PEAM - Shut up, Veronica
LT - Shut up, Bea/Rosario
and the winner is:
QBA - Shut up, Amalia/Mancia/Ana/Elvirus/Wendy
Well, I am back home from vacation and finally got to watch an episode, or, half of it, because I was falling asleep. (Not a good sign….) I might not be able to watch this one, anyway, but enjoy the recaps.
The kiss-in-the-cave scene was visually surrealistic, what with that spotlight shining down, etc. I was half expecting Damian to sprout a beard, reach up to the sky, and receive the ten commandments on tablets from the heavens above.
Does the Patio think there is chemistry between Marina and Damian? I failed to detect any. That cave beso scene seemed rather cold, Marina was stiff, and Damian looked ticked off at her when he wasn't kissing her. This is the first episode I have gotten to watch, so it's just my first impression.
Esthercita looks like she is channeling Gaby Spanic's "Ivana" in STuD. Yikes. From the hair to raiding her clothes closet.
I find telenovelas much more palatable than reality TV for example. Dancing with the Stars excepted of course. And hey, I'm learning Spanish.
Anita, I absolutely agree with your opinion about Marina during The Kiss. I also thought Dam Fab was moving a bit too fast with the hand up the shirt bit. However I appreciate his enthusiasm.
By the way, great comparison of Estercita with Gaby Spanic.
William is a lovely kisser , but I have to give the award for best kisser to Fernando C. I always said that he should be teaching classes in kissing.
Iván Sanchez sure makes a nice yacht decoration! :)
I think that wild curly hair is his own - same hair in LRDS and other videos.
I haven't been able to watch because we've been in Big Bend NP - no TV. So I sure appreciate all the recaps, recappers! Thanks so much!
Audrey
I am enjoying this one so far but expect it to jump the shark sooner than later. WL is deliciosa though, so I'll hang in until it reaches CI level. So many good people in this one. I don't know how Mejia gets them, the pay must be really good.
Carlos
I'm still waiting for your novia to appear, Mayuya is bad, is she bad enough? I knew the shrew wouldn't be to your liking & Marina is a good girl.
StormCellar-Bay Summer Clearance Sale
All Anchors Away™ Nautical-Themed Women's Wear (Petite to Extra Large) half off. Marina's beautiful navy blue & white striped attire, all the whites, reds and more whites (Clorox sold separately).
Iron skillets are always available in the Housewares Dept.
Have we selected a location for the Patio? Should we just bring lounge chairs, beach umbrellas, towels and Nerfazos and clear a space on the beach? Or would you all rather put a reserved sign for Patio Peeps on part of the main square?
Eli--because of the high demand for Hernans in pants, we will only be able to provide you with a blow-up Hernan, shirtless, of course (pants removable).
It's early days yet. I'm sure a bad girl will come along who interests Carlos.
I get that he wants to stick to his word, but does Dam really picture spending the rest of his life with Hystericasita? And being Furygencio's yerno? He won't even last a week sharing the same roof with either of them.
I'm not hating on Bea yet. She may be a worry wort, but at least she's polite to Dam. That's way better than other tn moms who are always rude to the guy the think unsuitable for their daughter, no matter how good he has been to her or their family.
From both his one nighter with Esther to the crew's amazement that he would commit to marry her (after all, he's been with so many other women before and never felt any duty to marry them), it is clear that he's not used to physical intimacy being a big deal emotionally, nor delayed past the first "date."
He's not really even a "player" since that would suggest he is toying with his women's affections by promising or implying that he's prepared to give them more of a commitment than he really is. He seems likely to be rather open about his interest only in a good time for the moment. Certainly in that small community his reputation would precede him.
Eli, thanks for your defense of tns. I agree 100%. I may not watch with Cheetos and Beer but, I do have my Coke and some chocolate when I watch. :) To me it is all about the fun who would watch if it was all true to life.
I have to say I wish Marina had whooped up on E. I wish Marina had some serious martial arts training and knocked E on her butt. I think E and Hernan are becoming like rabid animals with their obsessive stalking of DamFab and Marina. Whoa!
Does E really think DamFab loves her? Why does she keep asking him to say he cares or loves her?? No, he is marrying you because he is trying to save you rep(although I have trouble with this)
I loved Mayuya's smile when she was listening in on the fishermen. She really does hate that girl, how did they ever become BFF's.
Marina helping the lady was a bit random for me. I was like that come out of left field. I know Marina is a good person and it is a small town but, most of us don't go up to people who are crying hysterically and offer assistance.
Our dear Marina was giving mixed signals to everyone including herself. I don't have sympathy for the stalker known as, Hernan but didn't she say she would talk to him at the factory and then wigged on him completely when he was there.
Thanks again Mauricio.
PS As first kisses go I think Marina's and DamFab's is pretty good!;)
I know it is ridiculously late but I just had to tell you how much I enjoyed and admired your wonderfully detailed and witty recap.
And the screencaps are really the icing on the cake.
Thanks so much!
