Will Damian find himself...In The Penal Colony? (Anything as long as he gets to change his shirt.) Stay tuned.
Labels: tempestad
Marvelous recap! Loved all the detail and loved your subtitles of Misery, it sure was.
When those papers of Mercy's went flying, I couldn't help it, so "hear" is the earworm. "The Answer My Friend is Blowin' In The Wind"! I feel so bad for DamInnocent! What a sham of a trial.
Herny just thinks he's got everything all sewn up including Marina es MIO! Oh, I can't stand the es Mio! Not again. Oh and that kiss he gave her on the cheek, she should have swatted him like a fly.
I am so liking Tia Becky! She stands up to Herny, YAY, and not like Bea, sucking up to him.
Where were the nurses and orderlies when Maggie's alarms were going off? She will be on the run again, ugh! Poor Mercy can't win for losing.
Cap'n, I too was wondering why Nereo didn't come outside and give Rosy what for! I hate what he is doing to poor JazLu. Maybe something will happen to prevent that. Rosy needs to SHUT UP!
I am glad the Commandante lives to fight another day. Glad Laz told him he is in love with Jaz. The Commandante looked a tad, how shall I say this, crestfallen? I guess we will have to see.
Oh, and the Hada pregnancy, Ruh Roh, exactly how long has she been with Pervy Ernie? Is this really his child? It's been a while since Ester did the bop with DamDrunk. Hmmmm....thoughts to ponder.
and "Ernesto’s got armed guards stationed on his roof. It’s a party!"
Madelaine: I was pondering those same thoughts about "Hada". Wonder what is going to happen when she wakes up from this Stepford Wife dream and realize she's married to the devil and carrying his evil spawn...Well, it could come as a nasty shock, I say.
"The Miseries of Mercy" theme was perfection. Sylvia, this sparkling, sunny recap has made my day. In addition to what has already been noted, "no more of the averted glance for her","she cocks her head and lifts a pretty eyebrow in distain" and "arm candies" were among my favorites. Wonderful job!
Madelaine, my telenovela sense of how much time has passed from one event to the other is askew. I also wondered if there was any chance the baby might be Dam's? If she is pregnant by Ernesto, it happened quite quickly.
The papers blowing away in the breeze wasn't the worst plot contrivance, but exasperating nevertheless.
Can Hernan become any more unctuous? Think Tia Becky needs to give him a good slapdown.
Now Jaz will have the righteous, hypocrite Rosy against her as well. Things are not looking good for Laz/Jaz or Dam and Marina. Think Becky and Jose need to start fanning the flames, the romance quotient here is almost non-existent.
Let's hope Dam doesn't languish in jail for too long.
Thanks again Sylvia!
Diana
Your title, of course, is perfect. The Misery that Mercy is unaware of -- Violent, Runaway Mags -- is especially troubling. The girl really whacked that poor nurse. Can this Soul be Saved?
Now that Dam is culpable x 4, does that mean the story is over? His hotness goes to The Penal Colony, Hernán locks Marina in The Castle in Miami, and The Metamorphosis of Esthercita is complete when she becomes La Reina del Centro. What else is there to say?
"Fully calls Marina to the stand and Valdivia once again SHOUTS the sworn testimony. (Shut Up Valdivia!)"
Oh, too much. (I'm so embarrassed that I let Valdivia's shtick pass me by. Glad you are here to pick up the ball.)
"(Um, Alicia, about that annual bonus...)"
Ay ay ay! If only they could see what we see from the Patio.
Gracias, Capitán, for this oh so clever recap. You manage to deliver your lines with such a straight face that the rest of us can't help cracking up.
PS: The Storm Cellar™ now stocks authentic imitation ruby rings.
Madelaine- ITA about Tia Becky who unlike her sister can smell a rat.
Magdalena is a strong patient, able to knock out a nurse and change clothes after being sedated- wow!!
I noticed how clean the jail cell was that DamFab was in during the recess. Hmmm!
This whole trial is such a scam!
Who is Hada/Esther's baby's daddy??
I'm hoping that it's not DamFab.
Diana, I'm having the same problem. Days? Weeks? Months? I have no idea. Let's see...if we can find out the date of the Coronation...
As always, you are awesome Cap'n
Cynderella
I think that the bun in the oven that Ernie seems to be so proud about is actually DamPotent's work. HadaEster's hair pulled back so tightly that I fear she might suddenly start spinning like a top if that topknot becomes undone. Maybe that would bring her memory roaring back.
Here we go, cliche #5, pregnant faint.
"the evidence against Damscrewed stands" what EVIDENCE?
An explosion while you are in the water!!!!, not so good. Ask the fish.
Mejia!!!! leave Monica Miguel alone!!
What happened to Eusebia's powers, "Damf'd will be found innocent", not until some time in la cárcel & hopefully a wig trim.
I didn't hear a thing about Damsuffering when he came on the beach & in the hospital. José, what happened?oh yeah, Mejia.
Fully did this to just get back at Michel Fabre. Guess he didn't get the message that Michel has been dead and gone for years! I hope Mercy finds some way of getting back at Fully for what he has done.
NM, I was impressed and distressed at the whack that Mags gave that poor nurse. It didn't look like a fake whack to me. Ouch!
I like how Tia Becky is always physically inserting herself between Hernan and Marina. Her body language is strong.
Yes PLEASE a wig trim in la carcel!
Well, my esteem for Mercedes has slipped a few notches. And those were the original copies? Hernán needn't have bothered sending his guy to slow them up. No wonder she lost both her daughters... she can't even keep a few pages of evidence safe.
How is it that Hernán was allowed to visit Damián in his cell? And that kiss in the court room? Yikes!
Carlos
Ha!
I've always wanted a ruby! Maybe this will fit the bill! :)
Diana
Well, Eusebia said Dam will be found innocent but she just didn't say *when.* I feel bad for Jose - he did the best he could, pointing out that Dam couldn't be in two places at the same time. Just what was in those Very Important Papers anyway?
Estercita seems happy - with the baubles, Ernesto, expecting a baby, and getting married. Wondering what business she thinks Ernest is in.
She's had enough flashes of memory, that it seems that it won't be too long before she remembers her former life. But what will she do when she remembers? Will she look at her life with Ernesto and think this is a pretty sweet deal, I'm going to stick around here?
The news of her non-demise will affect a lot of people-- Dam, Marina, Delfina, Mayuya.
The news of her sale into sex slavery, and that Hernan knew, will create ripples through the entire human slavery gang-- from the boss Ernesto, on down to Hernan and Fully. That will NOT be a pretty revelation.
The baby news, and the mystery of who is the father, could set off a deadly chain of events involving Ernesto and Damian.
We're supposed to think that this triangle between Marina, Dam and Hernan is the real show, but I think it's Estercita/Hada.
I am parroting what some of you have already pointed out, but I am liking Ximena Navarrete's portrayal of Marina. I like how she went from zero eye contact with Dam to staring him down whenever she can. She's not screechy and over the top like some actresses. She seems to be who she is and I like that. She has also clearly tried to improve her craft which I respect.
Vivi, at the moment I am also more interested in EsterHada's situation. So many possibilities...
It seems that the forces of good and evil are lining up as storylines from the past and present collide. Mercedes, Marina, DamFab, his ghostdad Michel, and magical Eusebia. Vs. AwFULperson, Ernie, Hernan I am not sure where HadaEster figures in the battle. Will she be reformed and help the good guys ? It can't hurt the good guys having Eusebia's mojo and the pragmatic Jose on their team.
Vivi, your theory that Ester is the heart of this has merit. Ester is the quiet that will become the storm once her identity is revealed. Agree with Niecie that she seems rather pleased to be getting married. However, once it's established she is already married, I'm not convinced she will still have the same Damdesire she had previously, given her present, lavish lifestyle.
Things look Damglum for him, even if he is released from jail. What is looming may be far, far worse. Hernan might be child's play compared to Ernesto (as you already pointed out Vivi).
Still I have hope. "It can't hurt the good guys having Eusebia's mojo and the pragmatic Jose on their team". Yes. Salvation with the help of dedicated and loyal friends. That's what I am hoping for too Susanlynn!

This was a fine recap , Sylvia. The recap was MUCH better than the capitulo.
Some favorite lines:
'Tia B enjoys getting in Hernan’s face to point out all Fully’s proof is so much hogwash.'
'The Weird Sisters badmouth Marina, “city girls have no morals or shame”
'Fully calls Marina to the stand and Valdivia once again SHOUTS the sworn testimony. (Shut Up Valdivia!)'
I wonder if a shouted oath has the same sincerity and emphasis as ALL CAPS in recaps. (Hee hee).
Plus, some oath takers put their hands up with elbows bent and some looked like they were completing a Fascist salute. Hideous.
Also loved, "DamHe’sInThatSameShirt". That made me LOL, amiga.
Also, 4 AM? Wasn't our hero in Hospital recovering from smoke and burns at 4 AM?
Sylvia, your recap was great. I have to confess that I did not like the epi one bit.My beanie popped off in the courtroom scenes and was gone with the wind along with the missing evidence that would clear Damian.
My only hope is that the guilty verdict will mean that the Prisoner gets a shower and a haircut.
Thanks, Sylvia, for the fine recap of a yukky episode.

ITA with all you say regarding Mejia.I am worried that the stupidities have only begun. Let nothing happen to Monica Miguel, por favor!
Mads and Diana:
I cannot ABIDE Rosy. She is the biggest hypocrite in this TN. She is utterly unlikable.
EJ
Reflect, if you will, that a comma can save a life:
It's time to eat Grandpa!
It's time to eat, Grandpa!
(Does that make me a bad person?)
I wish I could take credit for "Grandpa," but I'm afraid it's not original. Glad you got a chuckle out of it though.
:)
elna june sonoma - I am so disgusted with Rosy. She is more irritating and hypocritical than Bea! She's totally delusional, with her self-righteous behavior.

Loved "(Um, Alicia, about that annual bonus...)"
They should have put those IMPORTANT papers in some manilla envelope. I too wonder what was on those papers that proved DamInnocent's innocence. How convenient for the bad guys that the pages of papers that were left behind were the ones that were needed to prove DamInnocent's innocence.
"The judge asks the jury if they have arrived at a verdict. Capitan Fabre is found...CULPABLE. CULPABLE. CULPABLE. CULPABLE. (That would be guiltyx4.)"
They sure love to repeat words for dramatic effect in novelas, don't they?? Poor DamFab. I hope that he doesn't have to spend that much time in prison.
When EstherHada fainted, I knew that she'd end up pregnant. It was so predictable. I too wonder who could be the father. For the baby's sake, I hope that it is DamFab. I don't think Ernie is father material.
I am stuck on the Nosy Rosy thing.
NM:
Love the 'Grandpa' example. I am going to have to hand off my recap to the punctuation police before I hit "post". I am terrified at what the punctuation cops (PC) will find.
