Corazon Indomable, #106, Tuesday, 10-08-13 Tav might be the dashing hero, but Mari's dimples are more powerful

Introducing the Realengo Rebellion of 2013 (thanks for the inspiration, La Paloma)


Fair warning: this is going to be a short recap, because this episode has been all over the place
a lot of scenes have been condensed, for a better flow. 


Maricruz finally starts making the rounds, asking the tenants why they haven’t paid their rents.

Tenant 1: I couldn’t pay because the insects destroyed my profit.
Maricruz (channeling Donald Trump): If you don’t pay, you’re fired…I mean, expulsed!
After Mari leaves, the guy tells his wife that he needs to go fix something.

Tenant 2: I always paid, I’m a hard working man.
Maricruz: Well, if you say so, and you have this cute child with you, then I believe you.
After the tenant leaves, Mari thinks to herself that there is something fishy going on… Good catch, girl, you’re quite intuitive!

Tenant 3: We’ve had some problems, people who were supposed to pay us haven’t done it, yet. This week you’ll have your money. How strange that you are having financial problems, though, the business has been working well the last few months.
Mari: Yeah, sure… (Are the little grey cells in her head starting to function now?)

Tenant 1 (with JA): I gave you a third of my business so I wouldn’t have to pay the rent anymore, the senora is now threatening to throw him out – what to do, what to do?
JA (while counting his filthy money): Go ahead and pay Maricruz, I don’t care, just be careful not to say anything about me, or you’ll end up losing more than I will. She’ll never believe you, anyway…
And to make things clear, he also threatens the tenant with a gun.

In the meantime Mari continues her investigation, she talks with several more tenants, but apparently they all give her similar versions of the facts. Could it be true, could Esther be saying the truth about JA? It’s her husband, maybe she’s upset with him and his lack of love. But he’s my friend, he couldn’t steal from me (ugh!!)

Miguel, Tav and Simona are eating. Miguel is telling them that the Realengo people have been trapped.
Long story short: in order to get food and water, they need to leave their homes, but if they do that, they have to take their stuff, too, and never come back. After they leave, their homes are to be burned. If they refuse to leave, they’ll end up starving, dieing of thirst, whatever comes first.
Simona appreciates the news, continues to nibble on her salad.
Tav is the only one who looks upset – and OMG, Daniel Arenas really rocks that black shirt and upset Tav is quite hawt!!
He can’t believe Simona agrees with the way those poor folks are being treated, the more she and Miguel enjoy the news and treat it lightly, the more upset he gets. He ends up leaving the table, which finally brakes Simona’s appetite.

A rebellion is about to start at the Realengo – the people want to leave in search of food, but the guards won’t allow them, unless they leave for good.

Mari is arranging a blanket on the sofa (where is your child, woman?), when JA comes to see her. She tells him about talking with the tenants and her decision to throw out the ones who won’t pay. JA thinks some will pay and the rest she won’t be able to chase away for at least a year, it’s the law. From her reaction, Mari had no clue about this (but why would she, it’s not like she has a huge land to run and a bunch of tenants to worry about).
Mari wonders if maybe the tenants paid JA to protect them and then mentions how Esther told her he’s a bad man.
No, Esther is jealous of you and of Natasha, JA explains, that’s why she’s saying all these lies.
Mari is not yet convinced, though, she heard bad things from others, too. Besides, he changed a lot, something’s not right!
Sure, I’m not the same miserable man, he explains, you changed me, now I know how to live well. Maybe my wife helped me, too, thanks to her I know how to read and write now, I’m no longer a poor guy

Perico interrupts with news about the Realengo rebellion. And what catches Mari’s attention: Tav is the leader! So, obviously, she wants to go, too, Yes Sir! If he dies, she’ll die, with him, he’s el amor de mi vida. (Forget about Lupita, she can take care of herself, she should be almost two by now!)

Simona is furious because Tav left, Miguel continues his sick game of poisoning her against her husband: Tav won’t be able to do anything for those people, maybe he wants Maricruz to help them. Maybe she’s already there, too. They are like magnets, they can’t stay away from one other.
Simona doesn’t want to believe that Tav would leave against her wishes, but there he is, on his horse, hurrying God knows where.
Simona trashes the table, Miguel hugs her – considering his satisfied face, his plan is working great, so far!

Morales, the lawyer who has the hots for Mari tells another guy, Vargas, about the great idea that he had in order to get rid of the Realengo people.
Also, the Narvaez ranch will be taken away shortly, because there is gold there, too; in a few months the people on that land will have to leave, also. (Oh, boy!!!)
Morales wants to punish Mari for not falling to his feet, so what better way to exact his revenge than by burning the Realengo lands as soon as the people are finally forced out?

Alone with Ofelia, Simona tells her that she wants to go after Tav, but Ofelia thinks it could be dangerous in her state. Simona agrees to stay but is so mad with Tav – could it be that he’s bored? When she gives birth, they’ll start traveling more, be together all the time. Their son will keep them tied up, nice and well.

Mari and Perico arrive at the Realengo, they’re not aloud to talk to the people (who are all thirsty and starving). Mari looks for Tav, she’s frightened for his safety. Perico goes to search for him, with the firm order to protect him and the message that she’s on his side 100%.

Tav comes to confront Morales: the poor people of Realengo have no place to go, this is a criminal disposition. We won’t sit back and do nothing, you have no heart, no love for your country. I have 100 men waiting for me outside, I just have to give the order and they’ll attack you. I won’t leave until you allow water and food inside the Realengo. You are cornered – you won’t receive food either, we cut the phones, too, you are completely isolated.
The lawyers threatens Tav with jail time, Tav doesn’t care.
The lawyer insists he’s only obeying an order that came from above and soon enough some of the ranches will have to be vacated, too. And to make it more clear for Tav, he also threatens to use his gun.

Miguel tells Simona that Tav is at the police, in one of his usual adventures. And surely, so is Mari. Simona wants to go, too.
Ofelia convinces her to stay, but Simona is hysterical, all the same. Once she’s left alone, she leaves for the Realengo, anyway.

And here is Mari, too, at the lawyer’s office, begging him to put a stop to the water embargo.
I’ll do it for you, senora, the lawyer seductively smiles, giving Tav (and Viewerville) the creeps…
Mari makes full use of her dimples, by trying to convince Morales not to punish anyone for what happened, not even Tav. He agrees to this, too, what he wouldn’t do for her? (Blech!)
Mari wants to go with Tav to Realengo now, she refuses Morales’ invite to take her home.
So, after Mari and Tav leave, Morales tells Vargas that Tav has now become his rival, because he likes this woman more than any other he’s ever seen.

Ofelia thinks they should go search for Simona, but Miguel doesn’t want to go – Simona needs to know that Tav and Mari are having an affair behind her back. His brother should love Simona, but he always hurts her. Nothing will happen with Simona, she’ll be fine, but there is nothing more that they can do. So, how about some tequila?

Back at Mari’s ranch, the accountant and Santa talk about how much money Mari is losing. And it’s not just because of how much she’s spending, it’s also because JA is stealing from her. Pobre Maricruz, she’ll be destroyed, Santa says.  

Tav and Mari are back at the Realengo, while the poor people are finally happy to have food and water.
He explains that he only had about 10 men, but the lawyer believed him anyway.
She thinks he is so brave, and they hug to celebrate it.
Tav knows it was her intervention, not his threats what convinced Morales. And how could the lawyer resist such pretty eyes? Could he kiss her, maybe? Mari happily accepts, just this once, but here is Simona, interrupting the quiet moment with her screams and accusations.
Then she storms off, on her horse.
Tav runs after her, but when he arrives back at the ranch, Simona is not there.

At home, Mari worries that if anything bad happens with Simona Tav will blame himself and her.

A search party is gathered to look for Simona, they find her unconscious, on the ground.

Comments:
How many more episodes does this have? This story is making no sense at all anymore.
 

Ditto on what UA just said.

Adriana - I agree on your assessment about Daniel Arenas - he looked HOT in those black clothes. As for your comment about Lupita being "almost two", don't forget this is Mrs. Mejia we are dealing with here. No way of knowing what Lupita's age is now.
 

Oh, UA, forgot to answer your question. There are 54 one-hour episodes left, plus a 2-hour finale. And since gringo has already mentioned what his friend in Mexico told him, let me just say that "this story is making no sense at all anymore" is an understatement.
 

Wow thanks for the super fast recap!!

So I'm thinking Simona loses the baby, blames Tav and MC and throws him out. I would love to see her throw out Miguel too.

I keep hoping JackAss's horse throws him into a pit of quicksand!

I hope the money situation sorts itself out soon bec this storyline is depressing. What in the world will MC do when all her money is gone? Will she marry the next rich man that goes after her, like Tav did with Simona?
 

Adriana Noel, that was just great!
Thanks.

Funny how Simona and Esther are in the same boat: they both pushed marriages with men who they knew were in love with Maricruz and not them and then went on to get pregnant by those men. Esther lost her first child. Will that happen to Simona? They weren't very smart. Hard to listen to them complain when they both knew what the story was with these guys.

Miguel would have been good as a revolutionary or a leader of a mob with pitch forks and pikes.

This story has turned into an over the top melodrama so I am just going to sit back, enjoy what I can and not think too hard. I fear we will never see Tobias or some of the old faves again. Maricruz and the plot have simply moved on. In the end I hope she has a happy ending with Octavio.

Jarifa
 

Mistake: Octavio would have been good as a revolutionary . . .

Jarifa
 

Great recap of a wacko episode! I got a definite "revolutionary" and "his woman" vibe from Octavio and MC in the scenes about the Realengo Rebellion. All they needed were the costumes and a cartridge belt for Tav.

I mourn the disappearance of Tobias. He might have been so useful at the ranch, helping MC handle her affairs and the people. He could have shown JA just how far he was from being a gentleman.

If the house in DF is gone, what happened to Tobias? Has he retired to some coastal resort? Is he working for someone else? Is he drinking away the days at a local bar? Has he opened a haberdashery? I suppose we'll never know. I'm sure Solita really misses him.

And Morales! Yet another man falls prey to MC--not her dimples, this time, but her beautiful eyes. She continues to mow down the male population, wherever she is.

I guess we're riding the merry-go-round (or MariCruz-goes-round) of random events now--just circle around and see what comes up with each rotation (episode).
 

Latina, for me Tav has always been kind of blah, certainly due to his serious lack of cojones (if I may say so).
I don't know if it was his little bravery or just teh black shirt that made him so attractive, but now I wouldn't mind seeing DA in a new, more manly - take no prisoners part.

Maybe in his next tn, though, because this one is fast losing all common sense.

Carvivlie, I think Mari's problems are only now beginning - Morales was talking about gold being gound on her lands, too, that woudl mean she has to leave, therefor lose the ranch, too.

La Paloma, I had to add a subtitle to the recap, giving you credit for thinking of the Realengo Rebellion - that was truly funny and quite accurate.
Sometimes it does take a village to make some sense out of this show, doesn't it?
 

La Paloma, I vote for Tobias having opened a haberdashery in DF. Having received sizable monetary gifts from don Alejandro in the past and having invested them, he is now a financial success himself. He wears a suit with vest to work everyday and has made quite a name for himself. If the writers won't give us closure, we can do it ourselves!

Jarifa
 

Just perfect and sums up enough of this madness for us. I sat through most of this with a echoing ESPN analysts with "C'mon man" going through my head.

54 episodes? I can't even imagine where this whole story-line can go. I know there are supposed to be some new characters (heaven help us). Now I find myself watching just to see how crazy this plot can go. I'm sure not enjoying the actual story much anymore.

Daniel should always wear black shirts..or no shirts, but hey we can't be picky. I'll go with black. And MC toning down the vengeance seems to be more palatable, though seems her brain cells aren't firing too fast anymore. I swear it has to be that water down there.

As looney as Simona has gotten, I don't wish anything bad with the baby, maybe she just gets knocked cold and we don't have to listen to her whining for 52 episodes. (Figure she has to go away somehow for the love birds to get back together permanently).

Miguel needs to get hit by a bus. Now.

Jose would have made a good villain character if this had been more consistent thru the story. It just plays out far-fetched. Love how they show how some learning suddenly makes these people experts on how to deal with finances and "vengeance". Lose MC on her quest...gain JA. He can line up behind Miguel on the bus route.

I reallllllyyyyy miss the Isla people. Heaven help me, I could even take Doris right now. And can't Tav's bestie and his wife come down for a visit?

Since we haven't seen a Moctavio exit, I'm guessing he was one smart monkey and took a powder from this group.

Daisynjay
 

A haberdashery? LOL!!!

It's the first time I hear the word, I had to look it up - but it makes total sense that Tobias would start such a business.

How about the other absent characters?

I think Ed & Araceli opened an Academy for well mannered ladies - Araceli is teaching them how to trap a husband before actually going on a real date (because we all remember that going to the movies AT NIGHT is very inappropriate)/ and Ed is teaching them all about having that slick, perfectly stiff hair that only he knows how to mentain

Teobaldo opened Doppelganger & Sons - offering high quality services for customers in need of fast makeovers - his best clients: people desiring to exact revenge on the ones who've harmed them in the past

Doris has her own sitcom, called The Governor's daughter (obviously) - the show depicts a young, vibrant girl, trying to juggle her coplicated love life and the incestuos relationship she has with her brother, Andres - the Hallmark channel has expressed interest in picking up the show for a billion seasons

The Givernor is now the President of Isla Dorada and he's married with a woman young enough to be his daughter's daughter

Karim was planning to go to Tamaulipas and kidnap Maricruz, but he heard of the great Realengo Rebellion and now he's afraid for his life - he might have to just settle with the 5 wives he already has.

What else? What do you think happened with teh likes of Carola, Raiza, Tony...
 

"Simona appreciates the news, continues to nibble on her salad." Oh my, what a damning sentence to show what a heartless narcissist Simona has become. And maybe always was.

Sounds like we are in a chaotic, depressing phase of this strange story. But I like your alternative tales for our other missing characters, Adriana. And I salute you ("chapeau!") for whipping out 3 excellent recaps in as many days. Just outstanding. And in your second language. Truly amazing.
 

Ditto! ¡ídem!

What UA said
 

the gov went on vacation in Sonora & got shot dead in MPV, episode 1
 

Jarifa and Adriana - you two should become the next TN writing team.

Carvivlie - I was thinking it would come to who do we save - baby or mother? In order for Tav and MC to end up together Simona has to be out of the picture. As for Miguel, I'm hoping Twinsebio will take care of him.

Then Tav and MC could end up with the biggest rancho in the area.

Thanks again Adriana for another great recap.
 

Love your alternatives Adriana!! I would watch those plots any day. Isn't it sad so many of these characters were just dropped? Maddening.
And I vote for Raiza and Tony putting there heads together and walking away with the casino dollars after getting the shaft first from her sister and the MC bailing on the business. I wish nothing but the best for her--she deserved something.

Two probably made Karim enormously wealthy again and they both are living the high life surrounded by harems. Seems you are better off NOT getting pulled into the air around out dear little heroine. She seems to bring out the worst in people.
 

hate spell check--meant TEO and Karim.


 

Thank you Adriana Noel for working overtime and doing such a great job.

The story is moving along and new problems are developing. Looks like
Maricruz is starting to realize that JA is not the trusted friend that she thinks he is. I hope that she sends him packing but not before she recovers the money that he stole from her.

Will Maricruz loose the ranch now that there is gold on it? I hope not. How would she be able to keep it, this could get interesting.

So Mari has a new admirer. Of course she does.
La Paloma---She continues to mow down the male population, wherever she is. Do you honestly think that Lucia, Ester or $imona could? There're not goddesses.

WOW! haberdashery? I had to look that one up. I have heard the word before but sure didn't know the meaning. That was a good one.

Adriana Noel---Your absent character section was a riot. I really liked the Doris sitcom and the one on Karim.

So $imona takes a fall. If she looses the baby, there will be hell to pay. I can't wait for tonight. Unlike most of you, I love this show. What will happen to JA tonight now that Mari is on to him? I'll say it twice, I can't wait.

Carlos---A couple of nights ago you thought it was ridiculous that Miguel wanted the children shot, I didn't think so. Miguel is not your friendly rancher. He has a friendly appearance on the outside but a black heart on the inside. Yes, he would shoot the children or have them shot, there's no question in my mind about it. You saw how pleased both he and $imona were last night when they learned that the people of Realengo had their food and water cut off. OPEN YOUR EYES Carlos, this guy is evil.
Miguel and $imona deserve each other.

Lupita, Lupita, Lupita, we cant have a day go by without whining and complaining about Maricruz and Lupita. Mari doesn't love her--Mari should spend more time with her--Mari doesn't feed her--Mari doesn't change her diapers--Mari doesn't hold her properly, I wonder what's next? This novella is not "Mari and Lupita" or the "Ninos Hour" PLEASE!!! Give Mari a break. You guys are still yelling about Mari's vengeance and there hasn't been any for some time now. Are we watching the same novela?
the gringo
 

Adriana, I'm absolutely in awe. You must be an incredible superwoman. The recap is spectacular but just the fact that you've given us yet another recap is mind-boggling. I'm breathless just thinking about it.

I have to admit that I really enjoyed last night's episode. I was all set to join Octavio's Rangers. He's been such a wastrel up until now. Good job!

gringo, thanks for cluing me in on Miguel's dark side. Gee, who knew?

Carlos
 

Who knew? Apparently you didn't Carlos as you stated that it was ridiculous that the writers put that in the script, shooting the boys for stealing. Miguel would do that or he would give the order to do that and feel perfectly justified in doing so. When people all over the world rise up and try for an overthrow of some kind, it is because of people like Miguel.

the gringo
 

Gringo, Miguel wasn't always the black hearted rancher. He was ignorant and oblivious to what Lucia was doing with MC and yes, he had his prejudices against her. But remember once he found out what Lucia did, the guilt ripped him up and he stated he didn't think he could love her anymore. His moral compass still pointed somewhat North.

Now he is the antithesis of guilt. He is thinking how great it would be if Simona dies and Tav can get all of her money, he wants to shoot children for stealing....he is way darker than what he was through most of this show.
 

Well, in any case, Miguel gave me my biggest smile last night. His brother went chasing off to help the poor folks and maybe meet up with his dimplelicious X, his pregnant sister-in-law saddles up and rides off after him into the night and...

"Nothing will happen with Simona, she’ll be fine, but there is nothing more that they can do. So, how about some tequila?"

How can one possibly hate on a guy with such clearly defined priorities?

Carlos
 

Some pictures of Daniel Arenas

I think he looks way better in photo #2

Carvivlie---I think you nailed it, Miguel is much darker now.

Carlos---Nothing more that we can do. So, how about some tequila? I liked that line too.
the gringo
 

Thanks Adriana, you are such a trooper to do so many recaps. I get worn out just doing one every other week.

It's funny how we analyze these characters to try to explain why someone does what they do as if they were real people, and not some drivel an out of touch writer comes up with. There is no predicting or explaining the behavior or the motives of a bad writer's make believe characters. It's as simple as that.
 

Variopinta, a disappointing amount of definition on those arms. Maybe a few sessions with some weights would help.
 

Thanks cathyx,

"There is no predicting or explaining the behavior or the motives of a bad writer's make believe characters. It's as simple as that."

Exactly...

Carlos
 

Thanks, guys, 3 recaps in 3 days was a little too much, but I had the weekend to prepare them. I do enjoy the break, though...

Variopinta, I like number 2, too. I think I really need to see him in another tn, there is such a huge difference between photo 2 and photo 3, it's like they're different men.

 

I found this picture of Daniel Arenas in a swimsuit. It's a couple of years old. If you click on the image, you can see it better.

http://diarioimagenqroo.mx/noticias/?p=2154

I agree that that black is his color.
 

Cathyx, right on the dot with these writers!!. It seems for me to time to recite our daily mantra as in Refugio de un Amor = It is only a telenovela...It is only a Telenovela....or where's my binkie!!.
Also bring me back at least 1 good male like Tobias or Don Ale. Maybe, Parrot might be good this time for Solita and not be like the odious JA.
Well at least for this episode, Octavio seems to be a true humanitarian activist. Good for him because MC might reconsider and forget her venganza plan meant for him.
And lastly, there goes the evil sadistic writer seemingly sending us signs about the impending seizure of MC's ranch and no mention of the same for the Simona ranch.Uggh.
Now why would a too pregnant woman ride a horse unless she wants her baby soon?
