La Tempestad Cap #33 Wed, 9/11/13 - Oh wee oh wee oh, I think I want to know ya, I want to take you to my cave, Girl I’d like to show ya*


 
*Apologies to Morris Day for paraphrasing and shuffling his “Jungle Love”


Last night we left our happy couple kissing passionately all over the beach, in the limpid sea, on a conveniently place blanket, and with that damned theme song crashing all around them. And yes, poor Dam DOES have sunburned shoulders.
 

Tonight our hero’s romantic inclinations become a bit more urgent, but Marina says she’s not quite ready for this yet. DamPatient laughs a little, says they’re not in a hurry and have all the time in the world. He asks if Marina is hungry. (Because he sure as heck is, so to speak.) Let’s eat!


Back in R-Lay-Dee Tia Becky assures Bea that Olinto hailed the lovebirds on the radio and all is well. Bea is concerned that this will just give the townspeople more reason to despise Marina. Tia B says trust DamFab. Let those two crazy kids give it a shot and if it doesn’t work out then they can separate, no harm no foul. (“Ha!!” yells someone from the patio. The rest of us snigger.) Bea tells herself she’s worried about Marina’s reputation and she’s not sure Dam can defend Marina like Hernan can. (All together now: “Shut up Bea!”)


DamFab prepares lunch and even makes gutting and scaling fish look sexy. He’s got such a big...knife! The couple mack on fresh coconut juice and freshly grilled shrimp and fish. (Looks like some sort of snapper or chucumite maybe.) Yum!!


Delfina seems to have forgotten Mayuya’s tacky outburst back at the church. They are in Estercita’s room and Delfina thanks Mayuya for always being there at Pester’s worst moments. With Mayuya’s help she was able to marry Dam, but that marriage took her to her tomb. Mayuya says from now on they should only think of the best moments in Pester’s life. She lie-cries how much she misses her only friend, leaving her (Mayuya) all alone. Delfina says God in his divine mercy has brought her another (husband-boinking) daughter. Mayuya gives a big hug and over-the-shoulder smirk at an alarmingly bad picture of Pester.


Nereo tells Valdivia and Lara that since Laz did such a good  job with the last merchandise he’s giving Lazaro a new task, he’ll be responsible for taking “the goods” to their final destination. Valdivia thinks this is a bad idea but Nereo points out that if things don’t go right, at least Laz won’t end up in the newspaper. Thus demonstrating that the lowest person on the totem pole should always hire someone lower to kick around.


Fully accosts Lazaro in town and says he knows that Laz works for Nereo. Que? asks Laz, How does Fully know? Fully says he knows everything that goes on in his town. It’s time for Fully and Laz to have a man-to-man chat.


I recommend you turn the volume down and just enjoy this next scene: Our love birds find a dramatic tree to make out under, over and around, and we hear way too much of Hoy Tengo Ganas de Ti. Then they swim around with dive masks on, make out some more in the water, and we get to see more, MUCH MORE of the WET! WHITE PANTS from a completely new angle. Well done underwater camera crew.


Un-mute now if you wish.  La Tempestad is steaming back to R-Lay-Dee (but I don’t think we missed anything) and Marina cuddles Capitán Fab and tells him what an incredible day she had. He says it’s just the first of many days like that. Oooh baby. He just hopes that Bea will realize he’ll never fail Marina. He even lets her drive the boat.


Back at town, broken-hearted and faithful Jose comes into Dona Rufi’s kitchen to get some agua fresca for Bea. He sees Tia Becky, flips a reverse, and says he’ll be back later. Tia B comments he is using usted with her. Jose says it’s better to keep a great distance between them so that his illusions about her won’t keep increasing.


Mayuya holds up Pester’s picture in front of a mirror and says “it could be”. (And I’m getting a bad feeling about the preview of “Esthercita” showing up at home.) My-yoyo says “If this works it will be my masterstroke.” She heads out the door, gulp.


Fully tells Laz that no way should he be working with Nereo, or Lara or Valdivia, got it? Laz, now suspicious because Fully seems to know the entire cast of villains, asks if Fully is involved with the white slavery biz. Uh, por supuesto que no, blusters Fully. He wants Laz to just be happy being an altar boy. Laz tells Fully he wants to become rich pronto, and Fully might be the boss of the town but he’s not the boss of Lazaro so butt out.


Rosario walks up as Fully is yelling at Laz’s back. She wants to know what he wants with her son. She says Estercita died for his sins and she won’t let him destroy Lazaro’s life like he did Estercita’s. He makes an aside comment that she's always following him.


Let the creep-out begin. Mayuya visits the estética to get a new “luke”. Afterward, wearing Pester’s shocking blue cruel shoes, she causes a local shopkeeper to look surprised, (at least I think it was surprise, local talent being what it is). We see her new auburn hair but we do not see her face. Back at Casa Salazar Mystery Mayuya raids Pester’s closet and jewelry box.


Elsewhere PesterHada the original gets professionally made up to Macario’s satisfaction. He says she’s just the way El Jefe likes ‘em, exotic and dazzling.


Delfina reads her big bible and prays. Some spaghetti western-type music plays and Fulgencio strides through the door. Sounds like it’s a showdown at the No-K  corral. Delfina challenges his presence and Fully says he has every right to be there. They get in their usual shoot-out “I can’t stand your bitterness”, “you caused it when you caused the death of our daughter.” But they are interrupted by a pair of slender ankles...”Buenas noches.”  It’s My-God-You-Are-Crazy with a ribbon in her hair, coyly showing off her new Pester “luke”. Delfina is impactada. Fully looks like he just wilted, if you get my drift.


HadaPester gets to select the jewels that go with the elegant dominatrix-ish outfit Macario has chosen for her. Ernesto watches and drools. He is pleased and says she is a unique beauty and will look good on his arm.  She will be his woman/wife. “Whatever you want,” she sweetly replies, “I don’t know anyone else anyway and can’t remember who I am.”  They admire their couple-ness in the mirror.


Doormat Delfina is thrilled with Mayuya’s new look. Fully says it’s fine that she helped herself to Pesters clothes, but hey did she have to get contacts to match Pester’s eyes? Mayuya did it to pay homage to Pester and to them, she wants to completely become their daughter. Delfina thinks this is a grand plan, but Fully asks her what she’s smoking. In what sane world does Delfina think it’s OK that My-Coo-Coo pretend to be Pestercita?


Speaking of sane or lack thereof, Hernan waits for Ernesto. And surprise reveal, he thought bubbles that he is waiting in the same damn place where Ernesto killed his parents! Ernesto arrives and questions Hernans plans to become a partner in the fishery. Macario pipes up he thinks it’s a brilliant plan for Hernan to infiltrate the company and destroy it from within, without causing suspicion. Ernesto says Mac is right as usual, that’s why he’s Ernie’s Chief of Staff. (Revealing to us that he trusts Mac way too much.) Hernan says the partnership is with an old school chum Marina Reverte, although the equity partner is Mercedes Artigas.


Cut to Mercy’s club. She recalls encountering Fully, another man who has affected her life. She thinks she is beginning to pay for what she caused her daughter, both of them, and she is feeling great anguish. Marina and Magdalena, her daughters, she has given them her blessings every night of her life. For when they are together again nothing will tarnish their happiness.


Ernesto pops off and asks what better reason to destroy this fishery? He tells Hernan that he MUST sink Mercedes, and Hernan must do everything that Ernesto asks.


Dolly and Magdalena stagger through the city. Dolly has big plans for getting lots of dough (lana, i.e. wool) out of Mercy. Mag doesn’t want to do it because she feels something in her heart. If this woman is her mother she’s going to despise her forever. Mercy can go to hell along with her money.


Delfina’s still being stupid and crazy happy over Mayucita. Fully says he doesn’t need this reminder that Pester is dead. Mayucita doesn’t want to cause problems, she says maybe she should just go home. Delfina says she’s not willing to lose Mayucita as a memory of her daughter.


Marina and DamFab are back in port but they don’t want their day to end yet. He wants to take her to a magical, special place. The crew has prepared a surprise for them.


Hernan is shocked to see that Estercita is Ernesto’s new mujer. She clearly doesn’t recognize Hernan. Ernesto’s gigantic ego thinks Hernan was shocked at his woman’s beauty. Hernan says she’s everything a woman should be, pleased to meet you miss....”She is called Hada,” says Ernesto. Macario named her because she doesn’t know who she is in real life.  The sea gave him his beautiful woman to make him happy. She tells Hernan she remembers nothing except her terror of the sea and pools. They are interrupted by some people that Ernesto has been waiting for. Today they are going to close several deals.


Merce leaves her club as Dolly watches, cursing and swearing that she’ll get the money out of Mercedes without Magdalena.


Magdalena coughs over her favorite garbage can and recalls when Merce chased after her yelling she was Mag’s mother.  “My mother, pah! That woman surely wants to sell me. Well I won’t let her!”


Ernesto tells Macario to be very aware. Several of the men that arrived are not trustworthy and want to horn in on Ernesto’s territory. Macario says as always he is completely on top of things. Ernesto says he trusts Macario snd Hernan too, even though Hernan’s parents betrayed Ernesto and unfortunately  had to pay with their lives. Ernesto could not do anything about it and, unfortunately, had to execute them himself. But that is the punishment of treason, those are the rules. And Hernan doesn’t carry any rancor, right? (Dude, can't you hear the violin? Well we know Hernan is pithed because his crazy violin music is playing in the background.) That’s right, lies Hernan, you just had to administer justice, not your fault. Ernesto says tonight a lot is going to happen.


Boy howdy things are going to happen, because DamFab has brought Marina to his magic cave of jungle love (oh wee oh wee oh)!  This place is very special because it’s where they kissed for the first time. It’s elegantly decorated with a table, linen cloth, flowers and, best of all, tiki torches!


Ernesto’s guests have arrived and the room is full of questionable personalities. One smarmy guy as brought some money and wants to check the goods. They all leave to conduct business, except Hernan remains behind to tell Hada he thinks he’s seen her before. Of course she doesn’t remember who she was or how she got there.  She was found on the beach and cared for by people who sold her. But she’s cool with Ernesto buying her because he treats her well and his only rule is her loyalty because he’s her boss. She doesn’t want to think about recovering her memory. Hada says she’d better join up with the other guests because Ernesto doesn’t like her talking to men. Herny winks and says she can trust him as a friend. Blech.


Dam pours the wine and we hear our ONE theme song AGAIN. They drink wine, stare at each other, and Marina says the day was like a dream for her. “Hey, this is reality baby,” he purrs. Rowr! What a smile that boy has. Te amos and loving stares, and...crap, a commercial.


Nothing much happened during the break. Marina enjoys more hot kissing in his manly arms and DamFab launches into his monologue. He says one of the highest points of love is when you decide to join your life to someone else’s. When you feel the need, the desire to be with someone every day, every night, feel her breath, and see her wake. Knowing that you are not alone because there is someone unique and special in your life. (Did y’all notice she maintained eye contact throughout?) Dam says for now he offers her a  humble engagement ring, and he gives her a simple ring of woven flowers, “Will you marry me?”  Marina happily vows she will be his wife forever. I think we’re getting close to the real thing here, but the show is almost over. Hurry up you two!


Dam swings, hits and makes it to second base. (So does Marina.) Gah, bad song edit! What did we miss? They get horizontal on a bed of rose petals. Aaaand...that’s it for tonight! The bases are loaded. Will we get two home runs tomorrow?


Mañana: Marina surrenders herself to Damian body and soul (according to the voiceover). Bea is pithed. Hernan tells Dam he and Marina will never get married. Eusebia tells Dam that Estercita lives. PesterHada starts to remember something. Or does she?

Cap'n Silvia,
Thanks for the wonderful, marvelous recap. It is so funny.

"We get to see more, MUCH MORE of the WET! WHITE PANTS from a completely new angle". My roommate actually feel off the chair from laughing too much when she read this line.
Last time she did the same with :"We are witnessing a tragedy, WL is not wearing Wet White Pant".
I just finished my last day of summer quarter. All my classes are easy, except English. It was a lowest level and I still struggled . I sure respect all you recappers. Are you sure you get nothing doing these great recap ??

I will have 10 days off then Fall quarter will start. During the time off, I will go to see my family in Far East.
I will miss you all, miss your blog, and my sweet WL.

Anita,
When I return to US, let me see how long the DAM... list you can compile for me.

Mauricio and Shallowgal,
I do have Sortilegio and CCEA on disk too. I am glad I am not the only one who is crazy about WL.

See you all in few weeks.

Vivien
 

Woohoo Sylvia - great recap. Lots of action last night...and some we got to actually see.

First off, hello Univision scissors. You can tell by the song jump ( I use to love that song--can we get just one more please!). I guess we have to close our eyes and imagine the rest. Stupido, family hour is over!!

Honestly, Matu. If she wasn't obvious on what a nutjob she is, she sure nailed it now. And smart move, you want to be getting it on with The Voice, so you dress up like his daughter??? yeah, he's going to want to hit the sheets with her now.

I wanted to just scream at Tia Becks last night..."Did you see what just walked out your door??? Woman, forget the Whiner in bed, go get that man!"

Not sure about anyone else, but Mags has got to be pretty disgusting. Kudos to anyone going out drinking with her...yuk. I would have shown her a tub first.


#SHUTUPBEA!

Daisynjay


 

I knew this would be spot on AmazingandDamFabulous when I saw the title. Morris Day? Ever since he stole the show in Purple Rain (Prince who?), I've been a huge fan. Great, great song and it fit perfectly.

Sylvia, your many gems sparkled including "limpid sea", "lie-cries", "No-K-corral", and my favorite "My-God-You-Are-Crazy". Wonderfully written - drew me in from start to finish.

Mayuya, I suspect cloning yourself as your lover's dead daughter may not be the best approach. Beyond uncomfortable and just plain tacky. Perhaps we can get her and Macario together. Those two crazy kids...

You are right about the big reveal. So Hernan knows Ernesto killed his parents? And just as unsettling, Ernesto knows Hernan knows? Still trying to wrap my head around this. Does Hernan have some hidden revenge plan in store??

Ernesto will have to surface with PesterHada eventually and once she is seen, her real identity will have to come out. I guess Fully wasn't high enough on the crime scale VIP list to warrant an invite to the "party"?

Dam was divine in the wet pants. They are very romantic and yes Sylvia, "(Did y’all notice she maintained eye contact throughout?)" Sure did.

Glad Jose is sticking to his guns and "shunning" Becky. Sure she is used to men doing just what she wants so this is a change of pace and a challenge. As Daisynjay said "Woman, forget the Whiner in bed, go get that man!" ITA!!!

Vivien, have a wonderful trip and we will look forward to your return.

This was wonderful Sylvia - thank you!

Diana
 

Just fabulous, Sylvia. You handled this episode perfectly. And I'm also going to have Jungle Love in my head all day now.

That scene with Fully, Delfina, and Mayucita was hilarious. You could see the crazy switch go off in Delfina's head, and Fully's face reflected just what the audience was thinking-- these two broads are crazy! I really hope he won't go anywhere near Mycucu now that she looks like his daughter. That would be creepy. I wonder what the rest of the town will say? Hopefully, it will stop them gossiping about Marina for a while.

It was quite a surprise that Hernan knows Ernesto murdered his parents. He is so going to stab Ernesto in the back someday.

It sure didn't take Marina long to go from I'm not ready to get horizontal, to giving herself body and soul to Dam. Maybe six hours, tops? Great work Capitan.
 

Whoever on the crew is responsible for applying sunscreen on these actors is failing. I noticed Fully's neck was sunburned too. Funny that it's the two Cubans who were sunburned. Shouldn't they know better?

Vivien- Have a great break!
 

Cap'n Sylvia:

Thanks so very much for this amazingly funny, marvelous recap! Loved the title too and am with Diana about Prince (who??)Morris Day rocks as do you!

I am with everybody about Mycucu (Vivi that name is perfect)! I too wonder if Fully will tap that now. That would be very disgusting. I wonder what Mycucu is playing at? Besides trying to look like their daughter, I think she thinks this will have Dam Delicious drooling all over her. Sucks to be Mycucu!

Herny will get Ernesto back, if the look in his eyes is anything to go by. Hate was radiating from every pore in his body. I was surprised they talked like that in front of Hada. Herny will use Hada in the future somehow, knowing Herny. He has no shame.

Dam Delicious and Marina, sigh! She did look in his eyes and that cave scene was very romantic. Let's see how much Uni cuts this evening.

Had to laugh at Fully giving Laz a hard time. It seems he does care about him, now what is Fully going to do to try to stop Laz from working with Nereo?

Hoy Tango Ganas de Ti, was also done by, are you ready for this? Ninel Conde, lol.

http://youtu.be/Z1lGdQPMavY?t=12s

I put the link up, have a listen. It is way different than the version we are hearing.

Vivien:

We will miss you, have a great vacation and looking forward to your return : )
 

Thanks for all the comments everyone. It's going to be a long day for me today and I might not get to comment again until much later. But I will be able to read comments on my phone so that's good.

Vivien, have a great 10-day vacation, the Far East sounds very cool.

Daisynjay, The Doll is probably used to disgusting, but Mags does look pretty gross.

Diana, yep the eye contact, at last!

Vivi, oh I like Mycucu much better than My-Coo-Coo, it's much easier to write without those hyphens. Mycucu it is!

Mads, thanks for the link to Ninel. What a completely different style. Makes me kind of wish Uni would insert a different version of the song now and then. At one point I wanted to add "Shut up Christina!"

Finally, I was shocked, shocked I tell you to discover that Hernan knows Ernesto killed his parents. He is definitely going to get revenge if that crazy violin music playing in his head is any judge.


 

WOWZER..and bravo...What an episode, and you were up to the challenge, Cap'n. Dare I say that this may very well your best work EVAH. I can tell that you were inspired. I especially appreciated your homage to the rain of prepositions al phrases reminiscent of our beloved AV.

I love the surprises we get in this novela. For example, I never imagined just how nuts May-I-Channel-Ester truly is. Here's Ester II. Very, very creepy. I am pretty sure that awFul did "wilt" at the sight of FauxEster (Fester ???) coyly grinning at him complete with red locks, hairband, and quirky wedges. . Que the hell ?? girl is BSC, for sure.

DamPatient is probably getting DamAnxious. I admire him taking things slowly and romancing Marina. He is a DamSmart man.

"Questionable personalities" around my area are referred to as "loose change" , and there is a lot of loose change in this novela. I never would have recognized Marcario as the same actor who played Coyote.

I was surprised to learn that Herny knows Ernesto killed his parents. I guess we know now who will finally take down the despicable Ernie.

great job, Sylvia. I enjoyed every word, and I could tell that you had a lot of fun writing this recap.
 

Superb Cap'n

If I get marooned, pls let it be with DamFab, he knows how to open a coconut! Add a little rum & we are on our way to a mai tai.

Pobre Delfina needs grief counseling. Mayuya needs the manicomio.

Surprised the Hernán knew Ernesto killed his parents.
 

In the romantic scene, Univision cut the part when the lovers drop their clothes and low themselves to the flower covered bed. The view is from far away, you have to imagine more than actually see it. Still very HOT.
 

Thanks for this hilarious masterpiece, Sylvia. What fun.

My guess about the slight delay in the consummation of all that passion:

Marina looked around at all that sand, wiggled her toes and felt the grit, and thought... "ummm, perhaps later."

Carlos
 

Hi All,

I haven't read the recap yet--it's my treat for a little later--but just had to say SINGLE WHITE FEMALE anyone? OMG, so can't believe Del and Ful didn't have Mayuya COMMITTED when she showed up as their recently deceased daughter. Wow!!!

Thanks in advance, Sylvia! I savor your recaps! Will comment more after reading! :)

Katy
 

Also, as Marina and Damián were squeezing those limes into the fresh coconuts and then drinking the cocnut water did anyone else remember this?

Carlos
 

Thank you Sylvia. I read, "DamFab has a big ... knife" and almost died from laughter. He sure does.
 

Katy...You are in for a treat. I admire your self control. I read the recap in between various and sundry morning obligations. I was answering Hub's questions...without really listening to what he was saying. Sylvia did this interesting episode justice.

Carlos..Point well taken. That From-Here-to-Eternity idea of love-on-a-beach is not as fun as it looks. However, the SExyLoveCave does not look like a very comfy location for amor either. I think DamWaiting missed an opportunity for love on the boat on the way back from Fantasy Island.

I think that May-I- Entertain-U will realize she picked the wrong gal to impersonate. May-Be-I-Should-Have-Tried-to-Look-Like-Marina made an error in judgement. Duh
 

Superb job Cap'n Sylvia,Thank you!!!!
I am still happily dumbfounded by the wet white pants!, Yaa!!!!!!!
 

How many episodes will go by before we learn that Marina is with DamFab's child? When is the wedding? And will Hernan bring Estercita back for the ceremony so she can stop the show? Oh so many, many plot developments possible from that one night of love.
 

Cap'n Sylvia - Great recap of a crazy episode. My favorite line:

"In what sane world does Delfina think it’s OK that My-Coo-Coo pretend to be Pestercita?"

About Hernan knowing that Ernesto killed his parents, Ernesto thought-bubbled in a previous episode something like he wanted to mold Hernan into pure evil, like him (Ernesto), and that Hernan's collusion in his parents’ murders almost did it, but he's got to make Hernan go even lower. That made me think that maybe Hernan participated in the murders or, at the least, did nothing to help them against Ernesto. Clearly last night Hernan was holding back his contempt for what Ernesto did, but maybe there’s self-loathing too if he had a role in it.

I’m getting a kick out of Tía Becky not knowing how to deal with Josè now that he’s back to “usted.” Hey girlfriend, you blew it.
 

Thank you Cap'n Silvia, Mauricio, and Gloria for the recaps this week. I haven't been able to watch La Tempestad all week and have been surviving on your recaps. I was actually reading your posts during class and couldn't help laughing. The professor wasn't too happy, but it was worth it.

Cap'n Silvia, Mauricio and Shallowgal, I have CCEA on dvd. I am trying to buy Sortilegio and El Triunfo del Amor, but my sister have been giving me grief about being such a telenovela-nerd, so I am buying them out slowly. They should have a Comic-con for telenovelas, I would definitely go and dress up as the craziest character, Mayuya or Ester.

Since the lovely dovey scenes with Damlicious and Marina have started, I sense we are nearing our final descent towards separation. Seriously, if there was a SHUTUPBEA! march, I would be at the forefront.
 

Niecie: "Hernan's collusion in his parents’ murders" - if he knew beforehand and did nothing to stop it and/or had any participation in what happened, he would be even more despicable than he is now (eek, how could that be possible)???

Diana
 

Wonderful recap, Cap'n Sylvia! Thank you.

Ugh! Hated the editing that Uni did to the love scene. Not sure what Uni has against love scenes. Telemundo has no problem with them. Thank goodness for the online episodes of the Mexican broadcast. For those interested in watching the complete version you can email me and I will be happy to send a link to it.

Mayuya is a nut job and Delfina is out of her mind. These two need to be committed. Fully was the only sane person at the Salazar household last night. I must say though that I laughed when I saw Mayuya all dressed up and looking exactly like Esthercita.

I too was surprised to find out that Hernan knows that Ernesto killed his parents. I also think that Hernan will get back at him at some point. This novela has some nice surprises which I like.
 

Be still my heart. His Hotness pouring wine and smiling.

Reading below to submit my comment: Please prove you're not a robot.

What a nonsensical question. WL is nothing short of sublime; even robotic Marina looks like she starts feeling something in his manly muscled gorgeous arms.

Oh wee oh wee oh.

 

Carlos:

Hilarious link. I'd never seen that one before, and the gorillas, too funny! You must be missing the Tav monkey on CI ; )
 

Mauricio- Telemundo tns are made already for the US audience and they must know the secret rules for keeping the censors away. For example, bras usually stay on over on Telemundo. There must be some other secret rules about certain body parts that can or can't be shown, movements, etc. I think because Telemundo knows how to just get away with it, the censors don't bother them or look at them at all. But because Uni know Mexico is not playing by these rules, the censors look at everything that comes out of there and errs WAY on the side of caution-- cutting even more that what is technically allowed. It’s just silly.
 

Vivi:

I think the censors are so hard on Uni cause there is a bigger viewership for some TNs. I think this is why they are so handy with the scissors, which is just silly. I saw worse on FX which is a basic cable channel also. Remember that graffiti on AV they didn't bother to blot out, but the loves scenes were cut to pieces, go figure!
 

Cap'n all that's missing from Love at Sea is the shark, but you gave us plenty of snark. Thank you for a superb trip into Jungle Love (or Beach Blanket Bingo?)

Limpid sea. Did you know you could also apply that to the Wet White Pants--

Limpid Wet White Pants. According to the dictionary, the definition mentions "marked by transparency." It's a good thing sewing the zipper in a man's fly requires extra material or we would have been privy to...well...you know...a big knife.

Fullie Wilting at the sight of Esthercita 1.2. Yes, to continue with your seaside lingo, we get your drift.

I love Marco's imitation of "The Voice," but I can't get beyond the hairpiece.

Ernesto looked very surprised when he heard that Mercedes Artigas was the major owner/investor of the fish packing plant. I don't think he knew that. He recovered quickly. After his recent conversation with her, he wants her ruined, so this is right down his alley.

This is one of the first tns where the storylines of all the characters has me intrigued and wanting to follow them through to the end. How will Televisa chop it down for a DVD--course we're in early days yet.

Vivien--
Here's a taste of what you'll get. You asked for a list of the compound words starting with Dam, but Caray's prefix "Dam" just stands in for the expletive, "Damn," so in truth there aren't any compound words--just to confound you.

DamFab
DamFine
DamDelicious
DamDivine
DamGood
DamFaithful
DamDidn't
DamIndestructible
DamMarooned
DamDamp
DamNeeds
DamDeed
DamFloater
DamGoodDiver
DamGoodSwimmer
DamNearDrowned
DamBeached
DamMad
DamDisappointed
DamDisillusioned
DamLucky
DamSleepingBeauty
DamVulnerable
DamStillAsleep

Sylvia this was brilliant - humor, snark, romance, and fun. Wet! White pants and hot romance, wow!

Vivien - enjoy your break.

Diana - Though Morris Day did steal the show in PR, his musical abilities are not match for the Purple one.

Daisynjay, Vivi, and others - Mycucu becoming Ester was the craziest move this nut-case has done. Clearly she didn't think it though b/c Fully was completely creeped out. As our Mauricio noted, he's the sanest one in the house.

Mads - thanks for another variation of the love song.

Carlos - thanks for the video. I hadn't see it or heard the song.
 

I can't stand when Herny and Marina are together, but I do like the song that plays in the background. I finally found the song it is "Yo Se" by Jorge Daher.
 

I cannot stop thinking about Mayaya. The girl was abandoned by the mother and grew up next to Pester who had everything she wanted and more.

Dealing with abandonment is tough; Mayaya always wanted to belong, to have a place in the casa with mom and dad. Now she secured her place via pseudo-incestual sex with the father and replaced the dead daughter in mother's heart. It's insane but it makes her happy to have Pester's things, to sleep in Pester's bed, to walk next to Pester's mother and bang her daddy.

Maggie, on the other hand, dealt with abandonment differently. You threw me out and used me; I'd become trash and hate this world. Totally, completely alone, not needing anyone.

And the scary, synchronized parallel of two girls becoming something different: Mayaya coloring her hair, putting on Pester's clothes and jewelry, Pester
accepting her place next to Ernesto and getting dressed and adorned according to his taste. Insert Black Swan theme. Well done, show.
 

Oh my, I regret that during the Jim Morrison era I was otherwise engaged and totally missed out on his songs and his legend. Will have to fill in that gaping cultural lacuna.

But now Ms. Sylvia...did you use the word "LIMPID"in your recap? I believe you DID. Can AVOCADOS be far behind? Well I'm sure Damian's avocados are Damfine like the rest of him.

By the way, I actually forgot all about his manly muscular body and remembered last night that he also has a Damfine face, with Damluscious lips, Damgorgeous teeth and best of all Damwarm lightfilled eyes. The man is Damperfect from the top of his head down to his toes. Can't blame Marina for caving (no pun intended) so fast. After all, she was engaged!, no?

Now Carlos, I doubt she was worried about grit earlier. One CAN make love on the beach (especially with a blanket) and the sound of the waves is just divine. ( Short pause, while I start singing a few verses of Memories here).

Sooo....my other favorite line was "Fully looks like he just wilted, if you get my drift."

I hope and pray that puts an end to his canoodling with the odious Myacucu. That I cannot watch, under any circumstances.

Great recap. Great comments. And Vivien, "traveling mercies" and enjoy.
 

Vita- Well laid out analysis! The litle girl lost theme is at the heart of this story. I was also struck by how well they transitioned back and forth between Mayuya and Ester/Hada making their transformations. I had to double check that I was watching a Mejia tn.
 

Judyb...HA.."can't blame Marina for 'caving' "....good one.

AwFul never liked Mayyoyo when she was constantly hanging around the house with Ester. Then, he noticed her "charms"...though I hesitate using the word "charms" in any way connected with this crazy girl. I think that the look on awFul's face when he beheld May in her glorious portrayal of Ester said it all..." O.M.G. , this chica is nuts." I do not think he will be enjoying that bit of forbidden fruitcake unless May does a reverse makeover. that whole scene was brilliantly creepy. Kudos to whatever beverage the writers were drinking when someone got this idea. demented .

One just cannot predict where this ride on the crazy train is headed, verdad ?
 

Cap'n Sylvia,

Hilarious! You are such a good guide through TN land! Some of my favorites:

"It’s My-God-You-Are-Crazy with a ribbon in her hair"

"At least I think it was surprise, local talent being what it is"

Carlos: So funny. I used to sing along to that song as a kid but, until today, didn't realize people actually put limes in coconuts!

And Anita thanks for the DamList, Amiga!

I have to say, I love a makeover scene and even as cray cray as Mycucu is, anything is an improvement on her brown-hair-in-my-face wig. If she really wanted to nail Ester, though, she should have done one brown contact and one green. She's got to pay better attention if she wants to be truly obsessed.

Thanks again, Cap'n. Love love love your recaps!

Katy
 

Thank you all for the well wishes.
Anita,
I will carry these beautiful DAM....words with me to the other side of Pacific ocean and thinking of you and all my blog friends in U.S.

Where I'll live, we do have Internet ,but it is censored a lot and WIFI is terrible. I will enjoy my family though.

Vivien
 

Vivien...Bon Voyage !
 

Have a nice trip, Viven! We will all be waiting for your return.
 

Carlos...I remember that song ; however, it used to annoy me a little whenever I heard it (along the lines of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" type of annoyed). I never tried that recipe, but I do enjoy an occasional pina colada.

I kept hoping for your sake that we might spot a monkey or two as DamEager and coquettish Marina frolicked around their deserted island paradise. I know how much you've been missing Monktavio on CI. ...and you were misinformed...You were promised a monkey when you signed on to recap the CI crap. Sorry, Amigo. no monkey for you on the island of high expectations last night. Que lastima. However, you did get to see a lot of monkeying around from our lovely , young lovers. Life Lesson #1 : Sometimes, you just have to lower those expectations. You get what you get, and you don't get upset. ...as they say in kindergarten.....Susanlynn, monkey less and lowering her expectations even as she writes this
 

Cap'n Silvia - HeeHeelarious recap. Thanks for the great read. I surface every so often to catch up with this TN.

I was wondering what is up with that elf guy Macario? Whose idea was it to create his bizarre look - pitch black wig? eyebrow? pancake makeup? Yikes!

Also, did anyone notice that not only did Univision edit the story, they blurred up the very slight exposure of the back end shot of WL' on the beach when he was getting frisky. I don't know if it only shows up on HD, but they blurred parts of the girlie posters in the captain's quarters in previous epis.

Once again, that was a funny recap Cap'n.



 

"DamFab prepares lunch and even makes gutting and scaling fish look sexy. He’s got such a big...knife!"

In case you doubt this statement check out the scandalous pics of our young model showing off an underwear line. See http://www.rickey.org/william-levy-nude-underwear-pictures/
The erase before hubby comes home!
 

Thanks for the funny recap!

OK, I have some concerns: what is going on with the MEN in this TN?

1. Is Maricio a stylist in his spare time? Did he attend beauty school? What makes him a pro?

2. The Cult of Dam = his unusually devoted crew. In a future episode, they might be waiting for comets wearing black Nikes or shaving their heads and dancing in airports.

3. I watch the Discovery Channel. I've never heard of a group of cult-like fishermen decorating caves and laying down rose petals and candles. Do they look like they attended Interior Design school?

4. Lastly...Marina appears to have given "it" up for a weed. Estercita go a boulder sized diamond, but Marina was all over him for some grass. I'm not judging her, I would have done it for free...ain't no shame to my game.

Cynderella
 

Cyner - So true ... I was wondering the same things. Esther threw that perfectly good ring that the poor fisherman bought her into the water and Marina gets the weed ring.LOL
 

Cynderella..Regarding the weed ring, Marina has taken on that look of I-Will-Follow-You-Anywhere love. I think the herbal jewelry was not necessary. it's a done deal at this point. So, smoke 'em if you've got 'em.
 

Vivi, thanks. Lost and found and destiny seem like main themes here.

Cynderella, Ester, being drunk and horny, stalked DamClueless and forced him to take IT for free.

The boulder and wedding were a sham.

Vivien, have a safe trip home.
 

Vita- Forced him?...I'd say Dam was a very willing, if initially reluctant, participant. Plus, nobody forces the Capitan to do anything he doesn't want to do. Not even sweet mothers on their death beds, begging him not to boink their daughters.
 

Okay, now it's time for my afternoon treat -- I get to sit back and luxuriate in a Sylvia recap. Oh my dear, you got both the creeping out and the making out parts exactly right. Hilarious from beginning to end.

Perhaps Maycucu (nice one, Vivi) is a trend-setter and other "tributes" will soon follow: Valdivia as Fulge. Rosario as Candy. Lolo as Rosario. The possibilities are endless.

In any case, we finally understand the reason for the Pester wig early on.

May I say that Rosario is among the least sympathetic "innocent" characters I have ever seen (Delfina is not far behind her.) Fulge, on the other hand, was the most reasonable voice of the evening. If only he weren't also murderous scum...

Travel safe, Vivian. Be on the alert for Wet White Pants and be sure to report back to us. :D
 

Anita: "I love Marco's imitation of "The Voice," but I can't get beyond the hairpiece". Hilarious - laughed my head off.

Karen, you are right about Prince's musical ability. He is so unique and talented. Really enjoyed Sylvia making us recall Morris'over the top personality and verve. And the song just makes me want to smile (and dance to the dismay of anyone who has seen me do so!)

Diana
 

Vivi, believe it or not, I just rewatched the end of Capitulo 1. DamFab was indeed reluctant at first but Pester jumped his bones and he rolled with it (as in literally rolled with drunk Pester on the deck).

And he was groped by Candy in the cantina! And by the girls in white dresses at the celebration.

And no blame should be placed on those blinded by his big... kitchen utensils served in WWP.
 

Vita- Yep, rolled onto the deck, and into his cabin...by the looks of the clothing thrown all about, I'd say a good time was had by all. :)
 

Cap'n Silvia, what a super recap. Thanks for the laughs.

Carlos--thanks for posting the video. A nice catch of the CI writing crew taking a break.
 

DamFab was also drunk that night when he slept with Esthercita. He had been drinking at the bar with his crew and came back to his ship drunk when he met up with a drunk Esthercita. I did the recap for Cap 2 and one of his lines in that episode when talking about sleeping with Esthercita was that he was very drunk.
 

If Estercita, who was WAY more drunk than Dam, can be woman enough not to blame the demon liquor and own up to sleeping with Dam because she DamWell felt like it, then he can be man enough to admit that he let his, uhm...knife take over his thinking that night. Both parties knew what they were doing.
 

Vita - DamFab and Candy had something in the past but it ended in good terms. This was revealed in one of the earlier episodes.
 

Mauricio, I remember that. Candy is his ex. It is a small village after all with only one damn gorgeous Captain.

Vivi, he took responsibility for misusing/misplacing that big kitchen apparatus.

Oh! Tia Becky lasted after him as well!

I rest my case.

Who wouldn't have a good time with DamDrunk or DamSober?
 

Anita, thank you for that Damlist!!!
Men's-ITA about Macarario. He is creepy and scary looking.
What was up with the Pester picture?. Why was she gritting her teeth? It was as if she knew what it was going to be used for?
 

Vita- Yep. They both fessed up. No one blamed it on the a-a-a-a-alcohol.
 

Vita...Love DamDrunk and DamSober. !!!!!

Anita..thanks for the DamList. fun.
 

Yes thank you Anita for the DamList.

Another name that can be added - DamShirtless.
 

Wow, great comments today! You guys were on fire with the funny.

I think I remember Hernan saying something about almost perishing in "the accident" that killed his parents. Did he say that to Marina and was it bull? But don't forget my theory that THE MUSIC DOESN'T LIE. Hernan's evil violin music tells me he hates Ernesto and wants revenge.

Carlos, terrific link! Oh yes I remember that song very well. I can't believe I didn't make a crack about de lime in de coconut, lol. I don't remember seeing that version of the song.

Vita, that's a wonderful analysis on abandonment of a couple of our characters. Thank you for doing that.

JudyB, why oh why didn't I mention AVOCADOS? And I was even eating guacamole last night. Where's my head? I must have been distracted by the blurring of Sweet William's hind parts, heh.

I'm really looking forward to tonight's episode, starts in 20 minutes for me.
 

Sylvia, what is the significance of AVOCADOS? it is some code word for something inappropriate/delicious/scary/funny?

Syliva, what a gifted writer you are. You killed me with the big... knife metaphor. I cannot look at/touch knives in my kitchen and not think ... those thoughts.
 

Vita, the LIMPID pool and AVOCADOS are from when we recapped El Talisman, which took place on an avocado farm so we were always using them as a metaphor for, um, like, he's got a set of nuts. They even had avocado art! El Tal was so bad it made for epic recapping, but they cut the show short. El Comandante in this show was the villain in El Tal.
 

Oh. Thank you Sylvia. I am not able to un-see it.

Now, when I tell my guests, "I am going to get ripe avocados and cut them up with the big knife," my cackling would sure be incomprehensible to them.

Good night patio. LIMPID dreams.
 

Mayuya as Estercita is horrifying. And Hernan KNOWS that Ernesto killed his parents!?!!? This show is crazy.
