La Tempestad Capitulo 48, Wed 10/2/13 - Fulgencio’s interesting day, Eusebia’s bad day, JazLu’s good day, and Hernan’s crappy party.
Labels: tempestad
I loved, "Marina, in a rare show of good sense" rare indeed. She's already engaged, so it's too late to accept Damian? That's what engagements are for, are they not, to give someone a chance to change their mind before getting married?
Also, "We get some comic diversion with Becky doing her best to distract Hernan, not an easy job, and Olinto trying to distract Ursula on the dance floor." Didn't you just love the way Jose, Becky and Olinto were all in it together to make sure Marina had a chance to talk to Dam?
Cynderella
"he has a hate so big it won’t even fit in his big barrel chest", "he’d like to toast to the woman he plans to smother make happy for the rest of her life", "DamOMGCouldYouBeAnyHotter" and "Tia Becky is doing her best to relieve Hernan of his alcohol inventory" had me smiling away.
Loved the title.
Hernan cannot bear to let Marina out of his sight for a moment. Eventually, he will need to duct tape himself to her and make his nefarious plans via cell during the middle of the night while she is sleeping.
Clever Tia. At first, I couldn't understand why Jose was smiling as Becky whirled, sputtered and drifted unsteadily among the crowd. Emarie, the talented triumvirate of Becky, Jose and Olinto were amazing! What a shame all that planning did not result in the hoped for outcome.
Still, it was somewhat gratifying to see some sort of resentful spark from Marina after Hernan's chastisement. It would be almost impossible to put up with such stifling behavior from someone you love, let alone someone you can barely tolerate.
Sylvia, I agree that Fully did seem to exhibit a bit of fatherly pride in Laz when he demanded Jaz's release. As for Nereo, the sooner he dies, the better (did I really say that?)
Hoping for a speedy recovery for Eusebia and that tending to her brings Dam and Marina back together. As you noted, thrilled to see Marina gives the ring back tonight. Finally!
Diana
I was not happy about Madre Eusebia. I can't wait until Nereo and Fully pay for their mistreatment of her. I'm hoping that she is not dead.
I wasn't able to commnet yesterday but thank you to Mauricio for his very detailed recap. I'm so glad that DamDelicious is back.
Good Morning Cap'n! This is a gem of a recap. I love all your Spanish subtitles so perfect!
Tia Becky had me going too. I really thought she was ten sheets to the wind, lol. I really like how she and Jose cooked that up. Too funny! And the look on Bea's face, she looked like she was sucking a lemon, lol.
I can understand Marina's reasoning for being pithed at HisDamHotness, but she is going through with the engagement, really???? And that makes sense because???? She wants to get back at Dam, she's jealous! Emarie is so right about what engagements are for!
Herny will never stop the grabby handy thingy! Diana, I laughed at your duct tape comment. It's so true. If he could use super glue he would. I think deep down he knows that DamShesMineForeva, will never be Herny's.
I really hope that Mercy doesn't do any investing. I hope she really researches before she does. Mags was crying when Mercy was singing. She had just the hint of emotion there and all of a sudden she was sullen again.
Michel Fabre, what a hawt guy I must say. That uniform alone was a big draw in. The kid he gave those papers to was Jose as a young kid. I thought I heard DamFab say it was Jose. I'm glad Mercy has the proof of what Fully did.
Maybe Fully will have a big huge infarto! Now that would be something!
Don't get me started on SHUTUPROSY! Pot meet kettle is all I can say.
I snorted my morning coffee over the communion wine! Too funny.
I too hope that the Madrina is not dead, but only injured. If she is dead, I bet she haunts Nereo and Fully. She probably has the power.
About the disappearing recap, it's never happened to me, but Blogger has changed the size of my type before. It is very irritating especially when you work so hard! But this recap is just marvelous, no need to change anything!
Ursula and DamFab did more than makeout in Ursula's erotic dream. Stupid Uni cut the scene. It was a DamHot scene. I'll post a link below for those who want to see the entire scene.
Loved Rebeca, Jose, and Olinto working together to help DamFab get a chance to talk to Marina. I love how the three of them dislike Hernan.
The lad in the flashback that came to pick up the papers was Jose. I chuckled when I saw that they picked a chubby kid to play him.
Nereo.Must.Die
Loved DamFab telling Fully off and after he tells Fully that he'll pay for what he has done Fully starts feeling a pain in his arm. That's karma for you, Fully.
I'm watching my recording as I write this. When did Candy get rid of the wig? Why did Mejia have her wearing one in the first place. Like Laura Carmine, she has lovely hair of her own.
Now that Jaz is free: 1)Doesn't she want to be called by her real name, Lucia, and not by her slave name?; and 2) Doesn't she want to go see her parents and sister, wherever it is they live? Surely, they want to see her.
Sad to hear Uni felt the need to censor a fantasy love scene. Thanks so much Mauricio for providing the link to the full scene.
I also hope that his Madrina is not dead but do love Mads' idea of her haunting Dumb and Dumber.
Yes Emarie is right about engagements but poor Marina does not appear to make solid decisions about Herny at all. That being said, I can't wait 'til she dumps the creep tonight. Diana - your duct tape idea is so appropriate for this sad character.
Mauricio thanks for the link. Ursula has quite an imagination.
Has Uni become more prudish with the censors? It seems to me like they used to show a little more when it came to love scenes than what they show now.
OMG! Tia Becky, Jose and Olinto are awesome.
"Eusebia is blissfully gathering herbs when her organic revery is interrupted by yells and yelps."
followed by:
"Eusebia tries throwing her vegetation at them but alas, lettuce is a poor weapon against guns and whips.
good Sylviana.
Too bad that:
Eusebia was wearing such a brilliant glowingly white outfit
Eusebia didn't have a cell phone to take pictures or a video instead of confronting the bad guys
and worst of all:
Didn't see this coming... she's psychic for goodness sakes!
Carlos
I forgot to say how surprised I was to find out Jose worked for Mercedes ever since he was a kid.
I'm still holding on to my crazy theory that Becky fled an abusive relationship with the possessive Ernesto, and that's why she's so skittish about relationships now (and has a small drinking problem).
DamHotterthanEver, DamOMGCanYouBeAnyHotter, DamSoHotI'mGoingtoFaint and then the final DamOverdressed.
You are so funny and SO captured what this viewer was thinking. William Levy is just the. most. beautiful. man. ever!!! That scene after he made that toast and the camera zoomed in on his face? Wow. I would have a MUCH bigger reason than "you cruelly broke my heart" to turn this guy's teary apology down.
Really, Hernan? You want to go to the ladies room with Marina? Smothering is the perfect word, Cap'n. I hope the avances hold true and Marina really does break up with Hernan the Horrible. His true colors come out when things don't go his way.
Thanks so much, Cap'n! Loved every word.
Mauricio, I have never had problems with GoogleDocs before but I am going to take your advice and do a backup several times throughout the recap. Losing data? That is so old school as Ursula would say. I have experienced the changing of font that Mads mentioned.
And yes, I LOVED the tag team of Becky, Jose and Olinto.
Cynder, will have to glare another day when I'm not too tired to count the glares.
I actually supported Marina not immediately caving to DamFab. No, she should NOT be engaged to Horrible Hernan, but neither should she just jump into Dam's Manly Muscular Arms in a nanosecond. They have some things to work through, however Hernan is IN THE WAY.
Mads, YES! The kid was Jose! I totally missed that. Good call.
OK, I'm off to watch Mauricio's link.
Katy and others, oh yes, it was completely creepy that Hernan wanted to find Marina in the ladies room. That guy has absolutely no concept of personal space.
Vivi, good points about JazLu. I feel funny about calling her Lucia when people in the show keep calling her Jazmin.
I also hope we get some more back story on Tia Becky to explain her behavior.
Sounds like Mercedes might have helped raise Jose, sent him to school, etc. Apparently she's been saving souls for quite a while.
Vivi - Yes more kissing between Jose and Becky. I also like your theory about her being in a horrible marriage with Ernesto. And yes a Fully heart attack with Sylvia's added being unable to move or speak before one of his friends uses a pillow to take him down sounds great.
Mads - You are so right about Ernie's house and guards. It's so TN over the top ;)
I'm hoping that Ester's child is Dam's although that would be an obstacle to our couple. However, the thought of her having Ernie's kid is a brain bleach moment for me.
Madelaine: thank you for explaining Jose was the lad in the scene with Damgetshisgoodlooksfromhisfather. Wow!
katy, yes, what was Marina thinking to refuse Dam's heartfelt and totally tearful apology!
Thanks for the link Mauricio.
Diana
Mads- I'm going through my recordings from the week, and I totally agree with you about Robles reminding me of Leo in LVO (just not as cute). Robles is really doing a great job.
Those boys playing Jose and DamFab are so cute.
Becky .... love her.
William Levy is a demigod!!!! sigh....
I loved these lines:
"DamOverdressed wonders who could have set the bomb on the boat. I’m really hoping this is not the first time in the past six months that he’s wondered about this."
“Eusebia tries throwing her vegetation at them but alas, lettuce is a poor weapon against guns and whips.”
Yep, Fully’s proud of his son. How ironic that Fully at the moment is a better papa to Laz than Rosario is a mama.
I don’t get Ursula’s greed/need for money. Did her mom cut her off? Seems like her mom would have as much dough as Delfina had.
Even though it would complicate things for Damian and Marina, I would love for Estercita/Hada's baby to have Damian's full lips. Estercita's seems to be maturing/growing and surely she'll remember that Dam didn't love her and can get along okay with Marina. Well, I can dream.
I’m still puzzled about Macario. He was right. Hada is too far along to fly. Ernesto seems to have acquired Macario and Hernan when they were very young, needy, and impressionable, so they’d be willing to do anything for him. I’m on the fence, but I’m thinking Macario might get redeemed.
I don’t blame Marina for not getting back with Damian right away. But she could *test* her feelings by letting him kiss her a whole lot more.
Ah my Sylvia...you manage to convey SO MUCH in so few words. My computer screen started sizzling as I read this. Really!
And just a few of the other many things I loved:
DamHotterThan Ever
organic revery
DamOMGCouldYouBeAnyHotter and...
Take.It.Off
You DO write well when you're pithed. And when you're not pithed as well. Just scrumptious. Thanks amiga mia.
I'm off to look at Mauricio's link and then to watch TheWholeDamThing on my computer since la Tempestad show is on too late for this doddering Golden Ager.
You recovered and then some. This is hilarious. You are incredible.
I am so glad the writers left Madre Eusebia's fate up in the air. She HAS TO SURVIVE! And how is it that the only person who felt anything when she was in trouble was Fulgencio? As soon as he ordered her murder, he got an ominous pain in the left arm. Okay. That's for being a murderous bastard. But what about her DamAjihado? Why wasn't he wine-Skyping his madrina? Huh?
I don't think Jaz can start calling herself Lucía because it would raise questions about her story. Both she and Laz have been told they will be killed if they talk about the dirty business.
I despise ShutUpRosy. I suspect, however, that in the end, the writers will give her a pass, just as they did to the odious (though far more stylish) Alfonsina in the Passion Pits. Mothers get to go to monstrous lengths in the name of protecting their boys. As long as they don't actually murder anyone, they usually end up dandling chubby babies on their knee. Bah.
I'm also glad that Delfina doesn't have any money. That takes the target off her back. It also means that when Fulge has the Big One, she will get her money back. Yay!
As you cleverly point out ("Hernan Hernan Hernan!"), it also means that Ursula needs to land a rich husband. Since everyone assumes DamGenerous is a muerto de hambre (though I have my doubts), she won't be a serious obstacle to our fairytale ending.
Meanwhile I'm just sitting back and admiring:
DamSoHotI’mGonnaFaint
DamHotterThanEver
DamPithed
DamLookAtMe
DamOverdressed
...to mention just a few.
I feel like I need a cigarette and I've never smoked.
This was a fine recap, m'dear. I am so sorry you lost most of it and had to recreate it. Yes, that has happened to me and when it did I wanted to cut on myself. (Wry grin.)
A quick note to readers who do not recap: Recapping is hard work and Sylvia is so good to get her recaps up before the next morning on the East Coast. That means she is posting somewhere between 1AM-2:30 AM most days. To lose a half completed recap is pretty rotten luck and it often means pulling close to an all-nighter (college exams, anyone?). Thank. You. Sylvia.
As to the episode, could they have crammed any more into one hour? I think the telenovela compactor is working overtime.
I was terribly disappointed by Madrina Eusebia's fall. I can only hope that she lives to tell the tale and to see Fully behind bars. Nareo is headed for the tree shredder, I am sure.
I love Tia Becky. She is always up to something good, or at least well meaning. She and Jose are darling together.
In addition to his other gifts, we now know that Jose was a darling little urchin when he first began working for Mercedes. That is a charming backstory and would explain his devotion to her.
I know this is not a popular opinion here, but I am still so knocked out by Ivan Sanchez. Were he nor portraying the scary and smarmy Hernan I would follow him anywhere.
I was also struck by the conversation between Hernan and Marina yesterday (at least I think it was yesterday) when they discussed the fine line between love and hate. Could be that Hernan could go over to the truly dark side if Marina gives him a final rejection—after their engagement party. Yikes! That would infuriate me if I were Hernan and I am not an obsessed sociopath!
Thanks again, Sylvia, for doing such a great job under pressure. That is why you, and not Damian, will always be my Capitan.
Hugs,
Elna June
Custody hearing is going on right now. It am anxiously waiting to hear from daughter as to the outcome, so please send out some good vibrations for her. I am very nervous. Maybe some strong Caraycaray energy sent out into the universe will help us.
EJ - Ivan Sanchez... I can't hate his character simply cuz of the actor. he is adorable.
Sending you very good vibes also.
Ivan Sanchez, what a dream that man is! I just wish he'd shave. He looks so much better without the scraggle ; )
Now HERE'S AN UNPOPULAR OPINION, ELNA JUNE! For some reason, I can't bring myself to hate Don Fulgencio. (granted I missed the strangling scene). But Cesar Evora is such a teddy bear (and closer to the right age for me) and I loved it when he gave that gleeful smile after son Lazaro walked off with Jazmin. Sucks to be you Nereo!
So yes, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, I can't hate the old goat...that voice and even that full-bellied posturing enchant me. (Dodging the rotten tomatoes right now.)
NovelaMaven: "Fear of Losing an Almost Finished Recap has been at no. 57 on my list of Things to Worry About (replacing Fear of Giving Birth in a Public Place)" (still chuckling)...
Elna June, this is the first time I've seen Ivan and wasn't a fan. However, the other day when he was playing with the children, his smile seemed genuine and I realized with a start that I'd been judging the actor through the character he is playing. For those few minutes, I saw what the man might be in real life and I was impressed. You and shallowgal may be onto something...

Diana, thanks for joining me in the very short don Fulgencio line!
Yes, he is enchanting. I am in the same line as you are. CE could read me the phone book and I'd be enchanted, in Spanish por supuesto!
Diana
Sending you and your daughter and grandkids postive thoughts right now. May each of you be safe, find balance and happiness. Kindest Regards, EJ
JudyB: I love Cesar Evora, too! I think he is a fine actor and that voice! Has anyone ever seen him without the rug? I think he would still look great bald and I like his teddy bear build.
Shallowgal, Mads, Diana: I am so glad to have company in the (secret) Ivan Fan Club. I know this will set me up for a rain of nerfazos, but I actually find him more attractive than William Levy. I love Ivan's aquiline features. He looks a bit like the pirate next door—you know what I mean, I am sure. Hee hee.
EJ
When I left, DamFab was about to be arrested. Today I turn on my DVR to be shocked by all the changes. OMG, who is that short hair guy in tux ? Hot, gorgeous, handsome, dashing...I need a English tutor to show me all the words to describe that man.
During my break I went to visit Rome, I saw the Greek God statues, especially Apollo, I could not stop thinking of WL. Let them stand side by side, I don't know who is better.
So glad to come back to see the DAMgoodadjectives get better and funnier. Myfavorite :'DamOMGcanyou beanyhotter'
Vivien
Judy B, I completely agree with you about Caesar Evora. I find him very good-looking. Love his voice and I happened to like teddy bears. (married to one). He is such a great actor. He's good when he's good and he's good when he's bad.
Viv: I recognize the new Soraya actress but can't place her! What was her role in TdA?
Niecie, my other neighbor! I agree about Macario and his interesting, mysterious backstory. Somehow Hernan is higher on the pecking order, though, because when Ernie was talking about giving his $$ to Hada, Macario thought bubbled that Hernan wouldn't like that. Like Herny is the heir apparent. And remember when Macario told Herny Estercita was ambitious? I think he knows she could be their wrecking ball.
However, you have supplied us and Vivien with a whole new shoebox full of DamAdjectives.
Carlos and everybody have recorded the best of the best lines that made me laugh, but Eusebia's confrontation with the bad guys was to die for--oops, better be careful what I say.
Nevertheless, it was a hoot to see her whacking at that bunch in broad daylight and then just as quickly the moon was up and she's operating on psychic knowledge of the woods. Of course Eusebia is going to live. Nereo missed his chance by a tenth of a mile. He should have shot at her and then shot her again from the top of the cliff. Me thinks he was *Undercompensating,* eh?
Susanlynn--I'm no Eusebia (at least not at this moment), but I'm sure that the outcome will be in your daughter's favor.
Vivi--Unless you have some psychic powers of your own, I can't see Becky ever having been married to PervyErnie. She would have been treated to an early grave before getting a divorce from him. She may have been in an abusive relationship, but she made it kinda clear she'd never married--unless she was lying to protect the guilty.
I like the idea of Fully having a stroke and unable to speak, but that left arm thing signifies a heart attack waiting in the wings. At least it'll put him out of commission for awhile. He's going to hate having to take it easy. But we haven't seen him do much except bluster and fume, have sex then strangle an inconvenient girl, and take a quick trip to DF to rip into Mercy. Mainly he runs things from his desk, except when he has to run out to the cottage by the shore to reign in Herny.
Here are a few Dams from before:

DamBrilliant [NovelaMaven’s recap]
DamJustified
DamAdjectives [Susanlynn likes all them Dams]
Ivan is a very good looking man too, he just plays the bad guy in this TN." Beauty is in the eyes of beholder" . Sorry ladies, to me, WL is much more attractive.
The new Soraya (I thought she looked different from the early version, but attributed it to early onset dementia)--
QBA - Wendy, whiny snob sister of Santos, the main galan
TdA - mealy mouthed Nathy, the voice of caution, roommate of Maria and Linda
CME - The young Ines
She did some others that I didn't see.
Thank you for the shoe box filled with DAM... words. Aren't they beautiful ?
Can I use them in my English 101 ?
I promise to quote who write them.
Vivien
Vivien, welcome back. And do be DamCareful about using anything from this blog in English 101. The teacher may not understand. :)
Susana Diazayas (Soraya) had a juvenile lead in Barrera de Amor where she played Aarón Díaz's love interest. As far as I can tell, it's been all downhill from there. [Sergio Reynoso -- Robles here -- was the galán in this remarkable novela!]
Even though CE is too old for me, I too love him even when he’s playing a bad guy. It’s the voice and the teddy bear quality. I much prefer GQ WL to scruffy WL. Watching my recordings backwards this morning, I was struck by what an improvement the short hair and tux are.
Vivienne- Welcome back! We’re trading places taking vacation. I’ll be gone for the next few weeks. I wonder what changes I’ll find when I get back?
Novela Maven, good point about JazLu keeping her Jaz for the time being. Makes sense.
Again about the censored scene. I have seen MUCH racier stuff on TV before, including obvious insintuations of multi-syllabic, latin-sounding sex acts. Hmmmph.
EJ, thanks for the support amiga. I thought it was me but this episode was packed. The first time through when it came to the opening credits I thought "Huh? We're not past this?"
Mads, GREAT bloopers! Loved them.
Welcome back Vivien. We've been holding your seat for you.
And Bon Voyage Vivi. Hope you have a super time.
Niecie in MD-Macario knows that having Hada go back to her home town would reveal who she is-via Hernan, this happened a few episodes ago. I can't precisely remember what he knows. He is somehow friends with Hernan. If I am wrong about this can someone clarify?
Anita -- Thank you for the list of DamNames. I'm sure it'll get longer as we continue watching this TN.
I love Cesar Evora and Ivan Sanchez They are both wonderful actors and they are doing an awesome job in their roles. I loved that little scene with Ivan smiling at the babies during the passing of time montage. I think Ivan got out of character during that scene.
Vivi -- Have a DamFab time on your trip. We will miss your comments and we will be awaiting your return. :)
If you're still reading, THANK YOU! I just couldn't place her but you're right, she was frumpy Nathy of the bad hair, big glasses and bad taste in men!!
Have a great trip, wish you bring computer with you so you can write us sometimes. Will miss you a lot.
Vivien
