CI, # 118, Thur., Oct. 24, 2013. Octavio Is Easily Moved, while Padre Julian Stands His Ground
Padre Julian visits Tav and Simona. She wants to talk baptism for the baby, while Padre and Tav are concerned for the po’ folks and their needs. When a riled Tav exits the room, Simona tells the Padre she has to keep Tav on a tight leash. (So—her casa is his casa, but only to a limited extent?)
to help the poor.
Following this same track, Tav starts a conversation with Simona. (He blows like a weathervane, changing direction.) She brought the baby downstairs and Tav holds his son. From the brief glimpse we get, he’s (no name?) a cutie. If it were necessary, could Lupita live with them? Simona doesn’t think MC would give up the adorable Lupi, but she could stay ONLY if MC were no longer around. (After all, Tav is so easily tempted.)
Simona follows up in an interview with JA. Is he still in love with MC? He says it was a long ago crush. Have they had an affair? No, she always treated him well, but that’s all. Tav enters and thinks she’s telling JA about his new duties. No, this was private. Simona takes a snotty dig at MC, Tav calls JA a disloyal traitor and they almost trade punches. Simona gets between the two men to stop the fight. Tav says the classic line, “This ranch isn’t big enough for both of us!” JA leaves and Tav tells his wife that JA is a low life. Simona responds that he idolizes MC too much.
Padre Julian pays MC a visit, mentioning not everyone feels sympathy for the poor. Maricruz says Solita still won’t eat or care for her child. Perico was seduced away from Solita by the low-down trashy painter lady.
Padre, trying to help, goes to visit careless Natrasha and her unbuttoned cleavage. He says she should release Perico from her spell. No can do, unless Padre will trade places and model instead. She has a new masterpiece in mind, featuring a priest facing temptation. He’s doubtful and suggests she do it out of charity. Sorry, she’s neither charitable nor religious.
MC and Alvaro are riding in the countryside (the banda music is inexplicably missing). MC is explaining the history of Ranco Narvaez and its horticulture and animal husbandry. Mig, who is sneaky as well as lazy and greedy, is hiding in the bushes watching them. He’s eager to show his brother this “proof” of MC’ affair.

Thanks so much for this fab recap! The temptation of the Padre, Que, Que, What????? He also called her a witch that casts spells. Some spells, more like her girlz do all the talking ; )
$imona did mention the bebe's name this evening as bebe Octavlito. So he must be a Jr. I don't want Lupita to live there, cause I'm sure the way $imona is, she would take all her frustations out on poor Lupita. Besides, Tav swore he gave up his parental rights. He is truly a one celled idiot.
That guy that complained about JA being no good? He was in it with JA and the selling of the cattle.
GreedyMig is a huge A$$ he really, really needs to go already! I can't wait for his huge piecarted anvil.
Yeah, Tav and the evidence? Looked like two friends going for a walk. I could see if they had been caught in a clinch! Tav did this to himself, 'nuff said.
I especially liked your heading of "Nieghborhood Chit Chat, Slander and Stuff..... I am still laughing, thank you so much!
What might await us tonight? The moonkey should probably run screaming so he doesn't do something bizarre and end up with Santa and the padre.

WTH is with this character of Natrasha anyway?? We lost the likes of Tobias, Doris, Teo, etc. to bring her sorry a** into this story just so could work her way through all the men in the area? Yeah, that was real fascinating...none of them are worth their salt anyway. She can have them. And now we had to sit and watch her seduce an elder priest? This is worth screen time? I have no words....
As for the rest of this. Lord, Tav wants to take his daughter on what grounds? But then, the Rat Pack have are denizens living in an alternate universe it seems, so I'm sure they will actually play this like he would have a real chance. He had me melting as usual when he held "Jr.", lord the kids love him, but as always, you feel like you want to smack him up the side of the head when he opens his mouth to spew his nonsense.
Thank you Rat Pack for thoroughly ruining the character of Solita. Viewerville has a nice slice of cheese waiting for you in that serving dish on the patio---ignore that metal spring thingee...
I feel like I want to yell to Alvaro---run, run away now and don't look back!!

Octavio ceded over his parental rights to MC when he left Isla Dorado and married Simona. How does he think he can now take his daughter? How can we put up with this for 2 more months?
"I confess I am also counting the recaps I have left to do. I watched the whole thing already and I have no interest whatsoever in rewatching any remaining episodes. But I'm sticking to my commitment to do a recap every two weeks until the bitter end. I will try to follow the bullet point format, though "concise" is not exactly my forte.
This novela should have ended around episode #100 - until then I still found it entertaining despite its flaws. But since then it has been pure torture. As soon as I saw the finale on the Mexico broadcast I proceeded to delete C.I. from my DVR programming. I hope saying that is not considered a spoiler at this point, since more than one person has mentioned already how it only gets worse and worse."
"(People, is this not crazy? He just gave up fleeing with MC so he could support Simona in her illness. Now he’s going to leave Simona so he can protect his daughter from an upright musical engineer step-father? What? She might learn to play the tuba and see her mother kiss another man? I don’t know whether to puke or go blind!)"
Well said la Paloma. Loved all your headings and agree with every one of your rants. This telenovela has veered from stupid to stupider to absolutely insane. Sorry you recappers have to ride the runaway train 'till the end.
Daisynjay
"I don’t know whether to puke or go blind!"
Indeed.
Well, at least we have a name for one of the boys... Octavito... how original. Why now? I was going to name him Abednigo in tonight's recap.
I had such high hopes for Natasha when she first appeared. I thought her target was Octavio... now it's the Padre? Yikes!
Carlos
TN is getting truly strange. Who writes this stuff and how are they still employed? Natasha is just a waste of space. I expect stupidity from Oblivio but Mig is in the wrong play. He should be playing Eyago in Shakespear's Othelo. Don't get me started on Simona. Oblivio is your husband,good or bad, he is physically in your home. why isn't that enough for her? She knew going into this fiasco that he didn't love her. Someone should have told her you can't force love later. What a bunch of retards!!
Olive
As for Jackass, I am trying to conjure up a fitting pie cart for him. .... maybe drowning in the rio while posing in the buff for Natrasha.
Everyone is SOOOOOOO shocked with Natrasha and padre Julian--monkey writers??? Not at all. It's EASY to understand. Natrasha is trash plain and simple. She is not about doing good and could care less about having sex with the padre---
but if she was able to seduce him and cause him to sin, if she could bring the good padre to his knees, she would consider her accomplishment to be nothing less than a gold star achievement. She would revel in it. One would expect
something like this from someone of her character.
One Cell is not surprising either.
Octavio has been back and fourth almost from day one. Daisynjay said that Tav want's to take his daughter away from Mari but on what grounds? There are no grounds
however Tav's emotions run ahead of his brain and we all know that he only has one brain cell. Everyone thinks that this is SOOOOO
stupid {JudyB--Daisynjay--Cathyx,
etc.} At a company that I used to work for, there was a man just like One Cell. This man was a good person but was back and fourth constantly. He would say what he would do, but never did what he said or he would do ridiculous things that would have us all shaking our heads. We knew that he meant well and he didn't have any monkey writers writing a script for him. We all soon learned that's just the way he was. Tav's twin? Maybe.

I want to thank all the recappers. I love everyone's recaps. I just found this site about two months ago. I only understand half of what is said. I wish I knew about this site when I was watching Un Refugio para el Amor.
Although this show is maddening, I am hooked. Things are so bad that the priest taking down Natrasha last night was a highlight for me. Sad.
Thanks again,
Caryn
Did someone tell you that there'd be a monkey, too? Please feel free to add your thoughts and comments to ours.
Carlos
Well at least one of the nameless children has a name.
Welcome Caryn, glad you are enjoying the show. Please do comment.
the gringo
Welcome Caryn. I too regretted not having Caray Caray during the time of "Teresa" my favorite tn then.
At least in this episode, no one critiqued MC as much.
I really felt that Octavio was consistent in being inconsistent.
How I hated JA and Migreedy slandering and defaming MC that I couldn't sleep at all.
as for Simona, I'm wondering how come since she couldn't be operated on, how come she doesn't have her intermittent attacks or symptoms of her tumor like before. It should be progressing until her impending demise.
As for Natrasha, I mentioned before that she is an amoral person and now we found out that she is also irreligious. Those but not a good painter/artist.
And what's with the wide headband? Is it to signify of her wild boho style?I wonder who her Capataz is since is so idle.The priest should have asked her for donation and mind you not used clothing like Simona's offer.
Thanks to everyone for sharing insights and comments. At least we know we're not alone in our confusion and disbelief.
It's a good thing the Padre didn't ask Natrasha for used clothes for the poor. She might have stripped down on the spot.
