La Tempestad Capitulo 27. September 3 2013. DamFab Is MIA; PesterEster Is MIA; And Some Scenes Are MIA As Well
At Fulgencio's house, Mayuya arrives home. Fulgencio asks her where she has been and she is like do you really care where I have been? Fulgencio asks her what she is playing at with him and she's like why I'd never play with you. Toribio arrives and shows them the piece of cloth that was found by Mercedes and Jose by the beach. Delfina shows up and cries when she sees the piece of cloth. Delfina looks all creepy like at Fulgencio and says that PesterEster is dead.
Antigua, Vercruz
Marina apologies for having ruined the outing. Hernan is all sweet with her as usual and says that she did not ruin anything. Marina says that she feels guilty for having gone on the outing. Hernan is like you shouldn't feel guilty. He starts with the crap about her getting used to to the idea that DamFab might not return and that life goes on. Hernan says that if DamFab does not return it is because he has completed his mission in life. Or maybe it is because you made him complete his mission in life, Hernan! Marina doesn't want Hernan to say all those things. She feels that DamFab is DamAlive. Hernan says that he wishes that DamFab were alive but she has to be realisitc. Bastard.
At La Guacamaya, Candy and the crew along with the waitress have a day of silence at the bar. They all talk wonders about DamFab. They have a drink in honor of DamFab.
At Bea's house, Mercedes arrives asking Bea, Tia Rebeca, and Jose if they have any news about DamFab. Tia Rebeca says that Marina went to go and see if there is any news. Mercedes will wait for Marina there and she hopes that Marina will come back with goods new. Just then there is a sound and Jose goes to check what it is.
At the church, Marina prays for DamFab to come back. Padre asks Marina if she's crying because of DamFab. Marina says that yes she is. Marina mentions that the townspeople are talking behind her back. Padre says that the town is small and her coming to live there is the biggest change they have seen in a long time. He says that the people aren't bad. He says that someone must be putting the townspeople against her.
At Beatriz's, it turns out that someone threw a rock through the window with a note. The note reads - Marina is a slut and should leave town. Bea has a nervous breakdown and is taken to the hospital. Mayuya from afar watches this and thoughtbubbles - You have to leave town, Marina. I'll make sure that you leave. PesterEster is dead and if DamFab returns he will be for me. Dream on, Mayuya.
At the hospital, Marina shows up all worried about Bea. Mercedes tells her to calm down. She tells Marina that they brought Mercedes in time to the hospital and Doc Suspenders told them not to worry. Marina says that if she loses her mom she'll die. Mercedes says that they noticed Doc Suspenders was calm although he said that Bea would have to spend the night there. Marina wants to see Bea. Tia Rebeca says that Marina can see her but first she should calm down so Bea doesn't see her like that. Hernan arrives. He says that he went to her house to say goodnight and was told by Doña Rufi what happened. Hernan asks what caused the breakdown. Tia Rebeca says that Bea has been under pressure because of the scare that she had. Marina wants to know what Tia Rebeca is talking about. Jose tells Marina about someone throwing a rock through a window with a note. Mercedes says that it was insult at Marina but to not pay attention to it. Hernan's ears perk up and he asks what insult. Marina changes the subject. She just wants to see her mom. She leaves and Mercedes goes with her.
In Bagre's hospital room, the crew goes to see Bagre and tells him that there is no news about DamFab. Bagre wants to continue searching for DamFab but the crew doesn't let him. Lolo notices the flowers in Bagre's room. Bagre says that Candy brought them. He says that Candy is a good woman.
In the waiting room, Marina thanks Mercedes for having spend the night with her at the hospital with her and taking care of her mother. Mercedes says there is no need to thank her. How could I leave you in a moment when you are so worried? says Mercedes. Marina says that ever since Mercedes came into her life she has been like an angel to her. Marina says that she will never be able to pay Mercedes for all she has done. Thanks to Mercedes, Marina came to live in R-Laydee and she met DamFab. Mercedes doesn't want Marina to be shattered and to not pay any attnetion to what others say. She says that she tells her all of this out of experience. Marina says that Mercedes is right. She says that loves DamFab and nothing will make her more happy than to share her life with him. Marina says that she cares about her mother's opinion. She says that her mother is against her relationship with DamFab. She says that her mother would like her to be with Hernan and she doesn't want to. Mercedes says that she knows and she feels that Marina is very much in love with DamFab. Just then Hernan shows up asking how Bea is. Marina says that she is doing better. Hernan introduces himself to Mercedes. Marina introduces Hernan as the new associate. Jose shows up bringing the results of the divers that Mercedes hired. Jose says that the results say that the sailboat suffered an explosion and that the explosion was on purpose. An explosion? Are you sure? asks Hernan. Jose says yes.
At Fulgencio's house, Fulgencio and Delfina find out that explosion that the sailboat suffered was on purpose. Toribio tells them that there cannot be an error in what the result of the divers say. Fulgencio wonders why anyone would want to harm PesterEster. He doesn't think that it is true that the explosion was on purpose. Delfina tells him that if someone harmed PesterEster it was because of his sins! Because of his abuses against people in need! Because he never loved PesterEster, and treated her badly, and because he was always wishing her dead. Fulgencio tells Delfina not to say all that. Delfina blames Fulgencio. She says that because of his ambition of power he has made so many enemies. Fulgencio has this warped thinking that everyone in town respects him except for maybe DamFab, Padre, and Rosario. I'm sure there are other people who don't respect him. Delfina tells him that everyone is just afraid of him and that he has never won their respect. She says that whoever blew up the sailboat hated him. She says that everyone hates Fulgencio. She tells him that he killed PesterEster. Fulgencio just wants her to shut it already. He eventually leaves the room and Delfina yells out that he's a murderer.
Back at the hospital, Marina wonders who could have harmed DamFab and PesterEster. You are looking at that person, Marina! Hernan thinks that there must be some mistake. Jose says that there is no mistake and that the divers found residue of explosives on the sailboat. There is no doubt someone wanted to kill DamFab and PesterEster, says Jose.
At Fulgencio's, Fulgencio says that it is not his fault that PesterEster is dead. He says that he has always been a good father. Ummm you weren't. He gulps down a drink and realizes something. He throws his glass and leaves.
At the plaza, the crew see a mob that has gathered. Someone tells the townspeople that the explosion of the sailboat happened on purpose.
At Hernan's pad, he's outside and Fulgencio arrives. Fulgencio grabs him by the lapels and punches him out. He accuses Hernan of having murdered PesterEster. He says that he will kill Hernan. Go Fulgencio! Fulgencio is grabbed by some of Hernan's bodyguards.
At the hospital, Marina says that spoke with Doc Suspenders and found out that Bea is not getting better. The tumor is growing. She doesn't know what she is going to do. Mercedes comforts her. Mercedes hugs Marina. She tells Marina that her mother will never abandon her. Never.
Avances: DamFab returns in the middle of a mass in his honor and Marina runs over to him and they hug. Hernan and Fulgencio see that DamFab is alive. Hernan wants DamFab dead that very night. DamFab faints.

You are fabulous and so is your recap. The situation tonight with the show was crazed and you are a real pro AND a good sport to get us such a thorough recap in record time.
OK--there were plenty of absurdities to bitch about in this heavy-handed chop and edit but one stands out to me. The doves? Seriously? What do the doves mean? Well, Mauricio, your guess is as good as mine but one thing we know for sure, actress Monica is one brave woman to film extended scenes with two (likely incontinent) doves sitting on her shoulders. What a woman, our Eusebia. She is my favorite person in the show.
Thanks again for all your efforts and a fine recap of a rough show.
With appreciation,
Elna June
You did this recap in a record time, so true. I was still reading yesterday blog. You are wonderful .
If tonight show is the combine of 3 episodes, then what do we miss ?
Can any of you fill in the MIA scenes ? Are they important?
Vivien
Hernan--you know, it's really a smooth, demented villain. I'm rather enjoying this portrayal. I like when an actor just goes there with playing a character like this...just the right touch of menace. Throw in he's pretty and you have gold. But I wish he could lose Don Johnson's old Miami Vice wardrobe.
Really want to know what the deal was with those doves. Behaved very well...must have taken lessons from our Uni mice division.
Looking forward to Part 2!!

Loved "his not so DamManly Musucular arms" and "At Fulgencio's, Fulgencio is having his own Tempestad at home". Great lines along with many others.
Jeers to Uni to hacking this to shreds. Cannot fathom whatever would have made Marina go to Antigua in the midst of trying to find Damian. I was totally thrown off (a not uncommon occurrence for me), but appararantly there was no explanation for us to see.
Is it just my imagination or is loathsome Mayuya eyeing Fully in a rather predatory way?
Elna June, I'm with you on Eusebia - she is the soul of this, certainly.
Vivien, looks like we missed some important explanations of hard to fathom events - like Marina taking off.
Daisynjay: "Miami Vice" wardrobe is spot on. I thought I detected a pinkish hue in Hernan's beige jacket last night.
So, where is Ester?? Is she going to miraculously arise from the sea?
Thanks again Mauricio.
Diana
I judge from the previews we are not done with DamFab, I am thinking perhaps Estercita will turn, up too. Too many scenes in the lead ins showing her wearing cloths we haven't seen yet.
Mayuya stepped up her villainous game last night- trying to run Marina out of town, and coming on to Fully. We need to keep an eye on her.
If Uni decides to keep up this chop game like they did for most of QBA, I will be very angry. One of the reasons is because I'm sure any Becky-Jose developments would end up on the chopping room floor.
Vivi-I am wondering if Uni is cutting scenes because they want to get it done more quickly in light of the poor ratings Tempestad got in Mexico. I think this story is likely doing better in the US-it is certainly at least as entertaining as many of the stories they have had.
Thank you everyone for your kind words.
Vivi: Yes. This was a combined episode of Caps 27-30.
I checked with the online episodes and the end of last night was the same ending of Cap 30.
I have always thought that mayday was going to try to seduce Ful-of-Himselfio. Did you notice her slink out of the room when :delfina was berating Fully?
I loved watching Adonis stagger from the sea at exactly the part of the beach where his memorial service was happening.
Well, time to go to work.
Couldn't Uni find a few less exciting, suspenseful episodes to condense?? As Sylvia would say, blech.
Emarie, I'm sure Ester is going to turn up as well. I suspect she has much mayhem to create before this is over ;)
Finally, Fully feels guilty about the daughter he never seemed to care about and constantly berated. At least he knew right away Hernan was the culprit - how are they going to continue to "work" together in the face of this trechery?
Diana
Mayuyu may be more disturbed than Pestercita. She did look lecherous and manipulative with Fully. I was wondering if she had given up on Damfam - but no.
I still don't understand why no one is looking for DamFam. Are the 'authorities' looking? The Tempestad crew wasn't back at sea and Marina was sightseeing. Did they call off the search? Strange.
Marea Primavera
Loved your title and all the asides, but especially the [LIAR} ones. So true.
Also got a chuckle of of the "it's possible the 2 non-honeymooners had an accident".
Yes, the non-honeymooners sure did and I'm glad it's already come to light that the explosion was on purpose and that Fulgencio knows Hernán arranged it.
I'll try and watch this at lunch-time and hope I don't get indigestion!
Thanks so much for this awesome recap.
About the doves and Teresa of (Jesus) Avila. She was a great mystic that had visions. She is a saint in the Catholic Church. The doves represent the Holy Spirit. It didn't surprise me that doves were on Madre Eusebia or that they likened her to Teresa of Avila. It fits her character. Meija has used doves like this before in "Corazon Salvaje 2009" They represented the souls of Maria del Rosario and Juan de Dios.
I too was surprised by Fully's reaction on hearing about Pester. I think he is feeling a tiny bit guilty. I just knew Delfina would react that way. As far as MayDay went (thanks Susanlynn) she has always had a thing for DamDelicious so it's no wonder she would try to drive Marina out of town. I too think that MayDay was sliming herself all over Fully. She wants the good things in life and what better way to get them?
Herny is horrid, just horrid. He who laughs first, may not be laughing last! I really wish that Fully had been able to give Herny a real beatdown. Too bad Herny's security people were there.
I really like how the crew is sticking together along with Marina.
This news about Bea is so not good. She seemed to be doing better and now is much worse.
Can't wait for tonight to see DamDelicious again and what Fully and Herny are up to. What about Pester?
Scene A: Bagre dives impulsively into the stormy sea. DamFab would have done the same for him.
Cut to Scene B: Hernan jumps giddily into his "water feature" and then he and Valdivia giggle about PesterDam's demise.
I agree, Mauricio: it WAS the most repulsive scene of the night.
But looking on the bright side...
I'm glad that DamFab was only MIA for one episode. There are some great subplots that add spice to the proceedings. But we all know that Capitán DamFab is the main course, right?
Besides, there is so much repetition in telenovelas that if you missed the first exposition of a significant plot thread, you are sure to hear about again. And again. And again. (If you don't, it's because the writers decided to abandon it and move on, in which case, you are probably better off not having heard about it in the first place.)
We'll just have to see what happens in the next few days and hope that Uni is not going to make a happen of episode-squishing.
Once again, Mauricio, you rock! Thank you for walking us through this craziness with good humor and skill.
I was so confused initially by the bizarre editing of the episode. Suddenly we're in the church with Eusebia standing down front with outstretched arms and white pigeons perched on each shoulder... what the heck?
I thought it was cute that Bagre poured rum into Oso's coffee cup, then into his cup, but when they toasted he drank right from the bottle.
I'm very worried for Estercita. I hope she survives. She has provided a good bit of the fun in this TN so far.
Carlos
Mauricio - thank you! I don't have time right now to read your recap in it's entirety, but I sure am glad they combined 3episodes, cuz I viewed the missing ones online, and they were NO GOOD without hot CapDamFab.
The odd fact though is that a good portion of four episodes is laying on the cutting room floor. That's almost three hours worth...that much searching, or maybe we got a glimpse of what happened to Pester and they are letting us be "Surprised".
So maybe we get a new and improved Pester and Mayu becomes the true nutjob? I can't believe we will lose Pester this early.
Thanks Madeleine for the info on the doves. Makes much more sense now.
Daisynjay
It is sad that uni decided to cut the episodes. I hope this will not happen for future episodes. I heard that La Tempestad didn't do as well as expected, so perhaps that is why they decided to cut it. I have the links to the four original episodes if anyone is interested.
I haven't seen every episode - didn't know that Fully had wished Estercita dead - but I always thought he loved Estercita even though she got on his last nerve and he's a self-centered SOB. So I was surprised to see Delfina go off on him so badly. I felt sorry for him, till I remembered the human trafficking.
Normally I'd have no problem with the DamFab-Marina flashbacks, but why would Uni keep them in favor of editing out new stuff?
While I know most people would love to see what was missing, the problem is that UNI does unique cutting. I remember when I recapped Refugio, a recapper included what she had seen online and the next two epi's UNI aired contained those cut scenes. So please don't give out the link to those epi's. Thanks.
My Mexicana roommate also confirms that the rating were low during these 3 episodes without the Capitain .That why Uni cut them.
Vivien
I have fallen for Laura Carmine's portrayal of Ester. I will be so sad if she is DOA. Daisynjay: ITA! I had made up in my mind that Ester could be redeemed and that Mayuya was going to be the real bad guy.
I can't decide if Fully loves Ester or not. He seems to feel some guilt but that is not love. He says he has no where to stay so he has moved into the guest room? With his money he could probably BUY a hotel or guesthouse in Vercruz, however Delfina may have the real deep pockets here. We know she was a rich heiress when Fully dumped Rosy for her some 18-20 years ago.
EJ
I so love your recaps! Your attention to detail is great. I loved your comment about Fully already breaking the Padres wishes about staying out of the church. Great call! Also, I applaud your quick perception to figure out what Uni had done. I would have just assumed it was a wacky TN storyline or lack of continuity.
When you break up with a guy or tell him you aren't that into him, don't you usually give the guy space? Marina and Hernan have been inseparable since she told him she loves Dam. And I hate how Hernan always touches her. In the hospital he did the "hand on the face, push the hair away" thing which, I think, is very intimate. Not sure how Marina can bear it.
Thanks again, Mauricio. You've found your calling as a recapper!
Katy
It sure didn't take Mayday aka Mayuya long to start macking on Full-of-himself-io, did it? Whoever said she was an opportunist is absolutely 100% correct. ITA with Diana, she is a predator.
Oh no, I refuse to admit that PesterEster is gone. No way, no how, she provides way too much amusement for us. I'm going to go with Susanlynn's theory, picked up by the Coast Guard, which would be the Mexican Navy. Hey, I heard on the radio just before I left Mexico that they (Mexican Navy) found a Schnauzer swimming around in the middle of the ocean, why not Pestercita?
all I can say is... 3 episodes without HIS Royal Hotness? well. Why bother? I would not have watched them either!
thank you Mauricio! I did wonder why it seemed so....choppy!
