La Tempestad Capitulo 22. August 27th 2013. DamFab is a brute, but he has a BIG heart.
At La Tempestad, the crew returns and brings Lagarto up to date on how terrible the fire at the packing plant was. Bagre says that luckily the firefighters arrived in time [Umm no they didn't] and that there was a lot of damage done and it won't be easy for the packing plant to recover but not all is lost. Just then, Pestercita pokes her head out of the cabin and demands to know where her Damn Fabulous husband is. The crew all take turns looking at each other not knowing what to tell The Pest.

Gracias por tu recapitulacion muy fabuloso! Tan divino! And no worries about it being late, don't apologize. I always look forward to your detailed recaps.
Ruh Roh, I wouldn't have taken Herny's offer for anything. Poor Marina, she will regret that.
Poor Mercedes to see Marina from afar all those years. I too wonder if we will have to wait for ULTIMOS CAPITULOS before that secret is revealed! I'm hoping it isn't that long!
Poor Delfina, just when she should be enjoying her empty nest, she invites a worse one in. I think Mayaya wants to be Ester, take over her life so to speak. Creepppy! Oh, and glad that Delfina didn't consult Fully about Mayaya moving in. Why should she? It's her home too! Glad she got one over on Fully, although Mayaya isn't a good addition to the household.
DamFab is a surprise. I like all he has done for the Padre and his church and the prison too.
Mercedes had a call of the blood moment there when Magdalena answered that phone. I hope she finds her soon.
I think Tia Becky is catching on to Mercedes, but I had to laugh when she was saying good night to Mercedes and glanced over at Jose as if to say, I am leaving the two of you alone, lol. I am thinking Tia Becky is starting to have a thing for Jose.
Can't wait for tonight to see DamFab go to Fullys.
Hernan almost looked like a galan, when he entered Marina's room armed with a smile, and flowers.
Could DamFab be anymore FAB??? sigh.
I just adore your recaps and ditto what Mads says, they are Tan Divino! I love your editorial comments at the close of each paragraph. You are like the Greek Chorus barking out the truth amidst a sea of bulls**t.
OK, for some of you music geeks out there, I was going crazy over that music in the early scene (last scene of previous capitulo) where DamFine is praying to La Virgencita for Marina's well being. Seemed like very odd music for a telenovela yet was very familiar. I finally figured it out. Are you ready? It's part of Solveig's Song from the Peer Gynt Suite! Yes, Edvard Grieg in a telenovela. Eddie, you have arrived!
So in addition to being His Royal Hotness Dam is also supporting the town? What a guy!
Mauricio, ITA - Oh no! Don't do it, Marina. And yes, I DID roll my eyes.
Mads, Oh my, like you I can't wait for the Fab and Fully Faceoff. Clash of the Titans anyone?
No apologies necessary. Awesome recap! DId someone say you were new this TN? Because you have the confidence and snark of an old pro! Some of my favorite lines:
Suxtobeyou Pestercita!
I can't believe we are still on the same day in telenovela time since my last recap from last week. (What a hilarious perspective--one humdinger of a long day in TN land!)
"Thats because she's faking, Sweetie!"
"Marina rolls her eyes. And so do I and I am sure we all did too!" (If I had understood at the time, believe me, I would have!)
and lastly:
"More like a nightmare, buddy"
You are too funny! Oh, and did anyone else catch what book "young Marina" was reading? I froze my screen but the font was squiggly. Was it Shakespeare's "La Tempestad"? It looked like it.
I DID LOL when in the flashback of Marina's graduation we see the audience and there's Mercedes, dressed in black, RIGHT NEXT TO BEA! OK, that's a little close, Mercedes. Stalking 101: stay a few paces back! DId she carpool with Bea and Becky?
And I didn't catch that "young Hernan" was following "young Marina". Good catch, Mauricio.
Poor Dam Fab. Saves Marina and Hernan and gets NADA in the way of appreciation. I hope Bea let's Marina know that DamFab jumped through flames for her AND her crazy stalker bf. Yet he's persona non gratis around the ol' hospital.
Thanks again, Mauricio!
Katy
With all DamFab's selfless good works, I wondered if he might enter the priesthood if things don't work out with Marina.
I gotta say I agree with Fulgencio. The pompous soul was looking for some peace and quiet with Estercita gone, now here comes Mayuya with her phony self.
And I was right there with you on that rant about Mercedes stalking. How could they NOT have noticed her lurking around all those years? And looking pretty shady in that dark hat also.
Hernán was especially ick-worthy tonight. While we learn about DamFab single-handedly contributing the monthly welfare funds for the poor and imprisoned in town (evidently rich as Croesus Fulgencio and Hernan don't give a dime)we have to look at Hernan playing his violin to shreds under a stormy sky as he thinks back to the dramatic happenings of the night. What a tool. And a dorky tool at that.
Well, there you go...Rant over for me too.
Thanks Mauricio. Accurate, detailed and funny. Can't ask for more.
Count me in also on the rant about them not noticing Mercedes stalking them all these years, especially Marina, who has made eye contact with her mutiple times over the years. But I guess Marina has become accustomed to being stalked. No wonder she can't figure Hernan the Stalker out.
Mercedes should just come out with it already and tell Bea she's Marina's bio mom. Obviously Bea knows she's not Marina's bio mom, and she must suspect the woman is out there, somewhere (unless Ariel said the mother had died). Becky already seems to suspect.
I had a good chuckle watching all those big burly sailors unable to deal with Estercita.
If this wasn't a TN, Marina would be dead, she inhaled a lot of smoke. Shouldn't she at least be on oxygen?
Guess Dam Fab rescued Hernán 'cause we need him around to cause more trouble. Doubt he would have done the same for you Dam.
Couldn't help but notice Mag's nails last night, small technical problem Mejia, guess Monica wasn't directing those scenes, unless Mejia said "they'll never notice".
I've just started tuning in to the TN and of course, once I got a gander of THAT Kiss on the boat, hooked. I mean, it's WL, what better way to spend an hour?
Add me to those with the Mercedes Zelig flashbacks (reminded me so much of that Woody Allen movie--always showing up at important moments). I sort of get why though some couldn't have been as random as they seemed, but the proximity of how close she was to family, c'mon. Favorite line from an old Sinatra movie... "pushing....pushing". Will be hard to think they keep Marina's real parentage to Ultimates if Mags comes into the picture at any point. Unless they can miraculously keep the two separate.
Hernan playing the violin...anyone else think Nero watching Rome burn? Have to watch those unhinged guys ( even the pretty ones).

Since Mercedes has teleportation powers, she might as well have a cloak of invisibility. Or Bea and her sister suffer from selective blindness.
It gets annoying already how many times Marina puts His Hotness WL into the married man box and cuts his balls every time he makes a move onto her. Herny, on the other hand, is always available and stalkerish, but looks more pathetic than enticing.
And my love Pester does not disappoint. This is the first time I observe the power of screeching, dramatic veil dance, violent vomiting, and narcissistic demands at work. She has been fairly successful in major strategic steps. Rock on Pester!
I cannot wait for Magdalena to come to mamma.
"DamFab snaps at him and tells him to STFU" was also great. Too many excellent lines to choose from.
One of the many reasons I enjoy your recaps are the conversation translations, particularly "The word Mama is the nourishment of a mother's heart when it comes from the mouth of our children, says Mercedes". Thank you for including that - it was lovely.
"DamFab tells Pestercita that he'll never give her what she needs as a woman". Any woman who hears those words and does not heed them is in for a world of hurt. This will end badly for Pesty for certain.
I fell asleep during part of this so appreciate all of the details.
Madelaine, I strongly support your sentiment that Delfina did not need to "ask" Fully if Mayaya could move in. Of course she is letting a viper into the nest, but that's not the point...;)
via: "Herny, on the other hand, is always available and stalkerish, but looks more pathetic than enticing" Yes - perfect!
Daisynj: So good to see your post. WL's kisses are part of almost every episode. And I thought the kisses last night were AMAZING. Too bad Marina slep through them! Sigh...
Mauricio: this was great!
Diana
You covered very well my two favorite parts of last night's episode:
Mercedes popping up in the background at the major events in Marina's life. Maybe Aunt Becky's trying to remember where she's seen her before.
and
Damián's incredible altruism. He's probably just a miracle short of beatification (but the divorce may present a problem).
Carlos
I am wondering May plans to seduce old Ful-of-himself now that she has warmed her way into the house. I wouldn't put it past her. She is an opportunist.
I also laughed watching those flashbacks of Mercedes right there front and center at every milestone of Marina's life. Weird. Poor Marina has had two,people shadowing her all these years. Creepy
It's nice to see that our golden boy has a heart of gold to match his golden good looks.
And..another Dirty Maggie sighting. She of the rags and manicured nails.
Yes DamFab is close to saint but as Carlos observed the divorce might knock him down a bit. And I would add his other liaisons that enabled him to kiss as he does probably keep him from sainthood as well.
Variopinta - I too have a hard time with the manicured nails, I mean, really? Is it Marina playing Magdalena and all they change is the clothes... looks like Marinas nails...
Also, writers, could you not have thrown us a bone and had Marina thank DamFab in front of Hernan for risking his lovely self and saving her? (not to mention going back in to save his sorry ass?)
I may have missed it but I didn't hear any thank you at ALL. But I'm big on polite little details like that :-)Ana
Daisy -- nice to see you here. Loved "Mercedes Zelig flashbacks." Am totally planning on stealing that.
Mauricio -- I would add a third million dollar question of the night:
What is the deal with Tía Becky's pants? Why is this lovely, slender woman wearing an outfit that could hide her brother Darryl and her other brother Darryl?
[Nan's pink pants? Won't go there.]
Fourth million dollar question: Is DamFab Damn Rich? That was quite a chunk of change he handed to the padre.
Esthercita reminds me of Lily Tomlin's Edith Ann.
Has Herny finally checked every color of the rainbow off his pants inventory list ?
And I hope that DamFab is Damn Rich. WINWINWIN !!! We have a winner here.
via, I had to laugh at your "cloak of invisibility" crack. I re-watched Mercedes' flashback scenes and really, how could Bea, Tia B and Marina NOT have noticed the creepy sad lady who was everywhere?
Susanlynn, Mayuya seducing Fully? I was thinking the same thing. That chica is T.R.O.U.B.L.E.
Sorry, I hit "enter" before checking the spelling. It's the same not-a TN-virgin anymore vita, not "via."
I have two questions:
1. What is "galan?"
2. Is it typical for TNs to have a main male lead be absolutely perfect, saint-like being?
Thank you all for your comment and of course, Mauricio for the witty and detailed recap.
I SO enjoyed your recap. You did n't miss a thing. Your asides were funny and right on.
Have I mentioned that I also love your name? Mauricio was one of my earliest friends for grade school and I always thought it was the influence of his family that made me want to learn Spanish. So, when I hear your name, I always have a warm feeling.
Sylvia: I love that Damian is offering kind support to those in jail. What a guy. Just a speculation...It may become a plot point later if DamFab needs some friends in the jailhouse.
I just don't know what to do with Fulgencio. Last night he did not break a chair or anything as he got up for the dining room table, but I hate to see poor Delfina constantly bullied and abused. I wonder if she is just a tragic figure or if she will be relieved of the Big Oaf before the end.
On the other, hand, I adore Cesar Evora. What a voice. Plus, doesn't he just look like someone you would like to have a drink with down at your local? He can knock back tequilas, alright. I'd like to see him take down a Sonoma County Boilermaker—a Lagunitas pale ale with a Jameson's Irish whiskey back—and hear stories of the real trials and travails of telenovela acting. I'd even have him as a houseguest, he seems like he would be so much fun.
Finally, how can icky Hernan join Marina as a partner in the firm??? I thought Marina was the Manager, not the owner, although maybe she has a few shares. Nope, now that I think about it, I recall that Mercedes is the sole owner. Anyway, what about insurance money? Unless the insurance investigators suspect Mercedes of fraud, the fire damage should be covered. The real loss is opportunity cost from the plant being down while they rebuild.
I do not think Mercedes needs Hernan for a cash infusion into her business.
EJ
What's funny about it, is that Marina didn't even bat an eyelash when Mercedes offered it to her. A total stranger not only offers her a major job out of the blue, but also half the shares of a company! It's not just stalking that Marina is oblivious about.
Ana - You are absolutely right in noting that Marina did not thank FabDam. perhaps on tonight's episode?
The female equivalent is galana.
EJ
Let's see...DamFab slept with Estercita; he then married her despite knowing, and being warned what a HUGE mistake it was; he walked out on his wedding right after the vows; and he asked his wife for a divorce less than 24 hours after getting married.
All of this also has a flip side-- he's a man of his word and cares about the women he's boinked, even when he can't stand them.
Katy:
I am new to recapping for Caray Caray. I have done recaps before another website - Telenovela World. I have been lurking in the shadows for some time now and reading the recaps and comments for the TNs that I watched. I finally decided to come out from lurking and decided to give recapping for Caray Caray a try. I am so glad that I did because I am having so much fun being a part of the recapping team for this TN.
I tried making out what book it was that Marina was reading to add it to the recap but I was not able to make out the title of the book.
Vivi, DamFab also does not listen to his elders. His godmother warned him many times not to marry Pester.
The visuals are still stunning, wet or dry or on fire. Me like everything.
JM was pretty bad. He and Tav are alike in many ways. But JM was capable of saying he was sorry for the a-hole crap he pulled (although he kept messing up). Tav, so far, is incapable of saying sorry.
Max in TdA was pretty forgettable. I don't remember him sticking out for any reason. He really didn't do anything spectacular, good or bad. He did save MD from the fire, like Dam did here.
You got the hang of recapping quickly.
I have to agree with what was already said. If you don't comment early, there is not much to add.
I actually found Mercedes' memories really sad.Poor woman had to watch her daughter grow up from afar and never got to hear her call Mercedes 'Mama'.Usually these cheesy flashbacks dont make me emotional heh.
Good lord i almost died when the priest talked about Dam's big heart and charity work.Fab obviously didnt want him to make a big deal out of it.Wow.
Oh and maybe Marina,Tia Becky and Bea didnt recognize her cause she changed her hairdo? Or cause she was supposed to be younger in the flashbacks? (Cant they just hire younger actors though? Its ridiculoso!)
