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.

 


Tu madre no es mala. (Or is she?)
Padre T wants Laz to make up with his mom, they haven’t spoken in six months. Laz doesn’t want to reconcile because ShutupRosy the big fatmouth hypocrite can’t keep her yap shut about JazLu. Rosy rejects JazLu and she will never change. Padre T tells Laz to arm himself with patience and eventually things will fall into place and their family, including JazLu (yes he really said this), will be united. I say the Padre’s been guzzling the communion wine if he really believes this.


Ernesto is tired of Mercedes deliberately buggering up his business deals. He tells Macario it’s time to take care of her once and for all. He’s got a plan...


Ursula faux-sympathizes with Delfina, saying Fulgencio treats her badly and Tia D should leave him. Delfina doesn’t believe in divorce which Ursula thinks is totally old school. Tia D’s got her own money, she should kiss the blowhard goodbye. Aha, we find out that even though Delfina’s parents left her a fortune, she gave Fully all of her money to manage and now all she has left is the house. Ursula thought bubbles that since Tia D is penniless she’ll have to make other plans to ensure she doesn’t fall into poverty. (Hernan Hernan Hernan!)


Que haces aqui?
DamHotterThanEver visits Fulgencio to make a brief and direct announcement. No matter how Fully tries to destroy him DamForever will keep moving forward thanks to the strength given to him by his father MichelFabre. He knows Fully killed his father even though he’s too cowardly to admit it. Fully says good, he hopes the memory sickens DamFine’s soul the same way MichelFabre sickened his. Because of MichelFabre he has a hate so big it won’t even fit in his big barrel chest. DamPithed says Fully’s hate will catch him, lift him up like a hurricane and dump his a$$ in jail where he belongs. Fully scoffs that he is Fulgencio Salazar and will never go to jail. Dam is a nobody. “Wrong” says DamCertain, “I’m the guy who’s going to make sure you pay for all your crimes.”


Macario tells Ernesto that their stockbroker called and Mercedes is certain to fall into their trap. Ernest dreams of Mercy’s financial ruin and the day when she begs for mercy at his feet.


Fully has another visitor. This time it’s Laz with a bag full of pesos that he got for killing Robles. He wants to buy JazLu’s freedom and it’s time for Fully to make good on his agreement. (Is it me or does Fulgencio look a bit proud of his son’s backbone?) Awkward edit and cut to Nereo’s hovel. Laz hands over the money but Nereo says he changed his mind, he wants double. But wait, Laz has backup. Fully is with them and tells Nereo not to be an idiot. Fully is the boss and Fully says hand over the girl. He lets a big smile escape and then “warns” the kids to keep their mouths shut about their business or else. Nereo says he doesn’t even begin to understand Fulgencio, but he caresses the money and seems happy nevertheless.


Padre T visits ShutUpRosy to try to talk some sense and sensitivity into her. She says as long as Laz hangs out with that cualquiera she’ll never forgive him! Ugh, what a witch.


Eusebia is blissfully gathering herbs when her organic revery is interrupted by yells and yelps. She’s horrified to see the latest batch of kidnapped girls. We are horrified to see Nereo standing behind her fondling his whip.


Soy libre!!!
Jaz and Laz run through the streets exclaiming at her new-found freedom. She says she was a fool to worry about his safety. (Ruh roh) She trusts him completely.


Eusebia rushes into the fray and demands that the bad guys let the girls go! Valdivia and Lara are shocked to see her and look like naughty boys for  moment. Nereo calls Fully for instructions and Fully says for pete’s sake terminate her! Valdivia tells Eusebia to butt out of their business just as Nereo cracks his whip. Eusebia tries throwing her vegetation at them but alas, lettuce is a poor weapon against guns and whips. She hobbles off into the woods and Nereo tells Valdivia that she’s all his. He follows with drawn gun. She must have a cloak of invisibility or something because it is now night and Nereo still hasn’t caught her. Unfortunately she teeters on the edge of a cliff, falls over and lands in a heap at the bottom. Nereo calls Fully and says the witch did them a favor by falling into a ravine. Then he spits on her. The pig!


Soy nerviosa
The engagement party at last! Hernan is oh, so proud of his arm candy, Marina. She looks like she’s about to barf. Tia Becky tells Marina she looks troubled, is it because HisDamHotness is back in town? Certainly not, it’s the party that’s making her nervous.


Hernan grabs Marina for a dance and she visibly cringes and then winces over his shoulder as they dance to “Yo Se”. What she doesn’t see is the arrival of DamOMGCouldYouBeAnyHotter and his date.


Over at La Guacamaya Jaz and Laz share their happiness with Candy. Laz asks if Jaz can stay in his room and Candy says she’ll do anything she can to make the course of true love run smooth.


Hernan announces to one and all that he’d like to toast to the woman he plans to smother make happy for the rest of her life. “That’s right,” says DamLookAtMe, “a toast to the happy couple.” Dam stares at Marina. Marina stares at Dam. Lots more staring of the hot variety.


Dam collects himself during the commercial break. Or does he? Hernan asks if Dam and his date have met his fiancee. (Que? What a stupid thing to ask.) DamCalm says everyone in town knows Marina Reverte. After DamSeething sits down he continues to glare at Hernan and Marina until he crushes his wine glass in his bloodied hand.


Mercedes tells Alicia she’s going to have her stockbroker make some new investments. (Ruh roh). Magdalena announces that she wants to go to work with Mercedes, she’s bored. Mercy says maybe going to the nightclub isn’t the best idea, Mags being an alchy and all that. Mags wheedles that she wants to hear Mercy sing. Pleeeeeeeze? Methinks young Mags is a world class manipulator.


Estás celosa!
Back at the party Ursula plays octopus with DamFab and Marina gripes that she doesn’t know why he’s there. Surely it’s to show off he has a new girlfriend. Tia Becky laughs that Ursula is merely a childhood friend and Marina is jealous. Becky says Marina should talk with DamHawt and give up her farce of an engagement before it’s too late, salud!


Seria Facil
Big surprise, Mags is at the nightclub, sulkily waiting for the show to begin. Mercedes sings, “If only one could fix problems by crying, It would be easy.”  Is that a tear we see on Magdalena’s cheek? Surely it couldn’t be THAT easy. Nopis, Mercy finishes her song, blows her daughter a kiss, and Mags is back to glaring.


Tia Becky is doing her best to relieve Hernan of his alcohol inventory. Bea keeps trying to get her to stop drinking but Jose is amused and eggs her on. Becky staggers up to Marina, spills champagne on her, then drags her off to the bathroom to clean up. But once in the bathroom Becky isn’t nearly as loaded as she seemed. She laughs that she had to get Marina away and Jose is helping. DamFine will meet her under the tree by the lake. Marina resists but Becky gets firm, says Marina’s future is at stake and stop acting like a baby!


El beso
DamSoHotI’mGonnaFaint waits for Marina while Becky distracts Hernan. Marina arrives and DamBedroomEyes gives her the once over. He tells her he doesn’t regret what he did because he did it for love. The whole town hated her and sent him to jail. He left her to protect her. Marina reminds him of their vow in the church, to be together in good times and bad and without hurting each other with lies and deceit. DamPerfect says he’s not perfect, he’s only human. He wants a chance to repair the damage he’s caused. He never stopped loving her and he begs for a second chance. He knows she loves him too because she’s trembling in his Manly Muscular Arms. Oh my. And at last...the kiss. That scene was definitely worth seeing twice.


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.


Es tarde
Marina pulls away from Dam. Her heart and lips say YES but her head reminds her of the hurt that Dam caused her. Not to mention she’s engaged. She tried to stop loving Dam, but her feelings were stronger than her reason. Then Dam wants to know why she’s going through with this stupid engagement. What’s her plan? What about their love? Marina says maybe she should thank him, but he helped decide this for both of them when he was so cruel to her. And it’s hard to heal a broken heart. Dam says they deserve another opportunity, but Marina responds it’s too late. She won’t take him back. And that kiss? It was their sweet farewell. Poor DamSad.


Of course the moment Marina returns to the party Hernan is all over her like a leech. Where was she? Unbelievably, she tells him the truth. Dam wanted to talk to her and she wanted to listen. Meanwhile, Dam grabs Ursula and hustles her out of the party. Becky wants the 411 and Marina says they went their separate ways. Bea blathers on about the wedding. Becky and Jose roll their eyes. Hernan does a slow burn to, wait for it, violin music.


Dam drops Ursula off at Casa Salazar and admits he left her alone so he could talk to Marina. Ursula pretends she cares.


El Troglodita
Hernan is very predictable. He has a hissy fit and tells Marina that her place is by his side. She must be next to him. Marina, in a rare show of good sense, tells him she doesn’t like his tone and they’ll talk tomorrow. She grabs her team and leaves. Hernan is well and truly pithed off now.


DamSad gets home and looks for his madrina. He thinks she must still be in the mountains collecting herbs.


Midnight Confessions
On the way home Bea blathers on about Marina’s wedding dress. Surely Hernan will insist she get some Eurotrash dress. But all Marina can think about is The Kiss.


Dam is also thinking about The Kiss. He unbuttons his shirt. And? And? Hello? Take. The. Shirt. Off. He’s not listening to me. He sighs that Marina still loves him. He’s certain of it.


Ursula is thinking about Dam. She wants to get it on with him. If only he were there now she’d take him to the height of pleasure. Suddenly he’s at the door. They’re making out. But we knew it was only her fantasy, didn’t we? She makes out with her pillow a little and says good things come to good little girls. OK, this chica is starting to freak me out a little.


Ernesto realizes he forgot to go to the engagement party. Herny will never forgive him. EsterHada says she’s dying to go, can’t they get the heli out and fly on over? Ernie’s ready to do it until Macario slithers in and says such a thing could be dangerous to EsterHada and the baby. Ester reeeeeeeally wants to go but Erny says NO and that’s his final word. Ester glares at Macario. He glares back.


Mercedes pulls some papers out of a safe. They are the documents MichelFabre gave her along with the evidence she has collected against Fulgencio. Her lame PI arrives and says Hernan’s businesses look clean, no human trafficking. He advises her to hold onto her papers until the top guy gets nabbed, then share what she has.


Fulgencio gets ready for bed, stomps around, as says he doesn’t feel guilty for what he’s done. It the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. Whoever gets between him and his goal gets death, just like MichelFabre for getting between him and Mercedes. He rubs his left arm. Hurry up and have that stroke, willya?


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. He wonders who could have wanted him dead? Dam recalls his father warning him about Fulgencio. He must never turn his back on this very bad wolf in sheep’s clothing. He pulls out the roll of papers (that Mercedes now has) and says they are proof that Fully was involved in fraud to the empacadora. Just then a young lad shows up and MichelFabre instructs him to deliver the papers to Mercedes. DamGrownup wonders if those papers are the same ones they have been looking for all these years on La Tempestad. Could MichelFabre have told Fully those papers were on the boat to put him on a false trail? If so then Mercedes must have them!


Mañana - Hernan stabs his desk with a letter opener. Damian finds Eusebia and is grief-stricken. Marina comforts Dam. Marina gives the ring back to Hernan...yay!!!

Comments:
I’m so irritated! I had this recap about 2/3 finished when my Google doc went ballistic and erased the entire thing! Has anyone else ever had this problem? Man that pithed me off. Good night, I will fix typos and obvious errors tomorrow. Or should I say later today?
 

Your recap is fine just as it is. Very good synopsis of the dialogue and the plot of the episode.
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?
 

Darn it! I wanted you to do your famous glare thing! Glare. Glare. Glare. Glare. I tickles the hell out of me for some strange reason.

Cynderella

 

Sylvia: So sorry you lost your work after so much effort! This was marvelous. Thank you for the extra work to ensure we had this witty and wonderful recap to enjoy.

"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
 

This recap was hilarious!

Take. The. Shirt. Off.

DamOMGCould.....

Cynderella
 

Thank you, Cap'n. Those were damgood adjectives were magnificent. I couldn't stop laughing. My favorite "DamOMGcouldyoubeanyhotter". Yes, I rewound that scene several times. I love Marina in a rare show of good sense - it's so true. What a ditz. I stopped counting at how many times I yelled shutupbea at the tv. But thank goodness for Tia Becky and Jose. I adored the tag team effort.
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.
 

Cap'n:

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!
 

Thank you, Cap'n Sylvia for this DamFab recap. Sorry to hear that you had some problems. It has never happened to me before but a good way to prevent losing your work is to copy all that you have written after a few lines. That way if anything happens you will have saved it on your computer and you can open a new document and paste it all that you had written and copied.

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.
 

Link to Ursula's DamHotEroticDream:

Glad to see JazLu is free. I guess ShutUpRosy will be the only obstacle now. Ugh!

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.
 

Sylvia- Wonderful recap! We would have never known you had to go back and rewrite a section.

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.
 

Sylvia thanks so much for this great recap. Sorry about your problems with Google docs (I haven't heard about that type of glitch). Your new Dam terms gave me my morning giggle.

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.
 

Oh no! We have a threat of Mercedes losing all her money on LT, and Maricruz losing all her money over on Corazon Indomable. When I get back from vaca at the end of the month, will both these heroines be broke?
 

Vivi and Karen -- You're Welcome!

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.
 

Mauricio- It really does feel like they have gotten more prudish each year. Just in the four years I've been watching, I feel the difference.

OMG! Tia Becky, Jose and Olinto are awesome.
 

Sylvia, I think this is an awesome cleverly written recap. I especially enjoyed:

"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
 

Thanks Vivi. So it isn't just me that has noticed that Uni has gotten more prudish.

I forgot to say how surprised I was to find out Jose worked for Mercedes ever since he was a kid.
 

Mauricio- It's kind of neat how well the writers have tied all these characters together. I wonder if Jose was an orphan who Mercedes took under her wing, and if we'll hear more of his story. Actually, all I want to see is more of Jose kissing Becky. :)

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).

 

Sylvia, you did it again!

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.


 

Emarie, 'just as it is' is basically the second recap. Only the first three paragraphs managed to save themselves. I almost threw in the towel to go to bed and recap this morning, but I was so pithed off I ended up being wide awake.

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.
 

Mauricio, thank you for that link. No wonder Ursula was making out with her pillow! Like the rest of you, I don't think that scene was censor-worthy and now I'm cranky that they cut out some good WL bod shots. Estupidos!!

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.
 

It looks like the writers are for sure setting Fully up to have a major heart attack. Certainly, that's too easy a way to kill him. It's also too early and it seems he's going to have the Big One soon. What do we think will finally bring it on? Laz finding out he's his daddy and rejecting him? Seeing Estercita alive and in the arms of his evil old boss? Delfina finally kicking him out of her house?
 

Every time I see Pervy Ernie's place I have to laugh. He supposedly has this huge mansion in the D.F. and he has armed guards with SKI MASKS on the roof. Way to advertise he is a Mafioso. Imagine what the neighbors think. If he didn't have neighbors what is the point of the ski masks? Who wouldn't be suspicious about that, lol!
 

Vivi, I like option #2. I would like to see Fully somehow see Estercita, recognize her, then have his stroke and not be able to do a DamThing about it. He could die or, better yet, lie there mute and paralyzed and not be able to tell anyone. He hates not being in control more than anything.
 

Vivi & Mauricio - ITA w/both of you that Uni is getting skiddish with scenes. Lately network tv in the US is showing almost just as much as that scene.

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.
 

Karen: "... the thought of her having Ernie's kid is a brain bleach moment for me. Well said! ITA, would rather it be Dam's so he and Marina will raise the child with love.

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
 

Ernie is not father material. The baby is better off being raised by DamFab. Ernie would probably mold the baby to be just like him like he did with Hernan. One Hernan in this world is bad enough.
 

I don't want Dam to be the father. But I do want Ernesto to die, leaving all his money to Estercita/Hada and their child. I don't want any messy entanglements with a child between Dam and Estercita, and I don't want Estercita to die, leaving the way free from Dam and Marina to raise her child.

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.
 

Sylvia - holy smokes!!! what a DamFine recap. Thank you very much for the entertainment.


Those boys playing Jose and DamFab are so cute.

Becky .... love her.

William Levy is a demigod!!!! sigh....



 

OMG. The actress currently playing Wendy in QBA (and was also in TdA) is now the new Soraya! She must be a Mejia favorite. I know I'm a few days late. I'm just now ffding through the week's episodes.
 

Cap'n Sylvia - Thanks for a fab recap of a fab episode. Sorry you had to write it twice though. My favorite Dam: “DamOMGCouldYouBeAnyHotter.” That was a James Bond-worthy entrance.

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.
 

"Lots more staring of the hot variety."

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.
 

O.M.G. 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) ever since I started writing for Carayx2. Ay ay ay!

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.
 

Vivi -- Thanks. I thought that was her.

Actor playing Lara is also on QBA playing a cop also.
 

Yowza...my computer screen is sizzling and giving off smoke rings again. What a clip! Thanks Mauricio. And thanks DamFab!

I feel like I need a cigarette and I've never smoked.
 

Dam (love scenes) censorship! but they have no problem showing violence/abuse of any sort??? makes absolutely no sense.


 

Sylvia:

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


 

Sylvia...that was a DamGood recap , and I especially loved all your DamAdjectives.

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.
 

Susanlynn, I am sending you good vibes.

EJ - Ivan Sanchez... I can't hate his character simply cuz of the actor. he is adorable.



 

SusanLynn:

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 ; )
 

Good Vibes to you Susanlynn, and to your daughter and your dear grandchildren.

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.)
 

Susanlynn: Hugs and prayers...You and your daughter and family have been through so much...

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
 

And Judy, totally agree with you about Cesar Evora. There is a charm and charisma to the man (not the character). Perhaps it's the dulcet tones, the sparkle in his eye, etc. I would follow him (almost)anywhere.

Diana
 

If you really like CE I found a really funny bloopers video of him on Youtube for various TNs he has done. Here is the link:

http://youtu.be/h-kJxW8N720

 

Thanks MADS. Jeez he was really gorgeous back in his younger slimmer days. Yowza.

Diana, thanks for joining me in the very short don Fulgencio line!
 

JudyB:

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!
 

Madelaine: thank you - that was fun! Great to see him with Susana Gonzales, Sabine Moussier and others, laughing away. Being thrown from the horse didn't look too much fun though (although I admire how he got right back on!).

Diana
 

Susanlynn:
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
 

Hello all my friends, I just came back yesterday. I missed first week of school and a long list of assignments. Who care ? My CarayCaray first.

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

 

Cpt. you did a great job. Loved all those funny lines already mentioned. Susanlynn sending you good vibes all the way from Oklahoma.

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.
 

Susanlynn: sending you good karma! I have a good feeling...

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.
 

Cap'n, my condolences over lost prose. I've had long complicated comments disappear on me in Caray. Recreating them never sound as good as they had looked in the little box the first time.

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.

[Susanlynn likes all them Dams]

 

I love Cesar as an actor very much, even in this TN , he is so mean to my hero, somehow I still find him so warm, if you watch the scene he helps his son to free Jasmin .He smiles happily, then changes very quick to the mean ones when he turns around.

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.
 

Katy--
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.
 

Hi Anita and all my creative writers,
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 - you crack me up. I too think of WL, and CarayCaray when I'm on vacation.



 

Susanlynn, my thoughts are with you.

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!]
 

Anita- Nope, not married to him. Just in a relationship with him. I think someone else added married. I totally believe Becky has never walked down the aisle. But it seems she was in a very bad relationship, and Ernesto seems like the perfect candidate to make any woman wary of ever having a relationship again.

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?


 

Thanks for the comments everyone. You folks are the best. I'm feeling much less cranky this afternoon.

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.
 

I guess I didn't fully understand what I was reading was the second recap, but it was so...complete and perfect, for writing it the second time. Whenever I have to write something the second time I definately shorten it.

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?
 

Susanlynn -- Sending you and your family good vibes.

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.
 

OK Susanlynn, I actually meditated and sent strong, powerful, positive thoughts to your daughter and the rest of your family. Hang in their amiga. I am visualizing victory.
 

Vivi:

I too wish you Bon Voyage! Have a great time and looking forward to having you back : )
 

Emarie, thanks for your kind comment. I find Macario rather fascinating. Sometimes I think he is on Hernan's side. Yet he knows how dangerous it would be to cross Ernesto. Last night I got the vibe that he's not liking EsterHada's importance in Ernesto's life even though he "found" Hada for the old geezer. If I were Macario I would be very careful about getting between Hada and her sugardaddy. Seems to me she's getting cabin fever.
 

Vivien -- Welcome Back! :)

Vivi -- Have a DamFab time on your trip. We will miss your comments and we will be awaiting your return. :)
 

Anita,

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!!

 

Katy -- About Naty in TDA, bad taste in men is right. :)
 

Mejia keeps getting her worse/smaller roles with each tn-- Frumpy Naty (who gets a real winner for a boyfriend- NOT!); Wendy the Whiner; Soraya to ex-Call Girl.
 

They should have paired Naty up with Fabian (Marco Mendez) on TDA.
 

So true Mauricio. Marco Mendez is one of my telenovios (love those eyes), and he's so underutilized. I really enjoyed him in La Verdad Oculta.
 

Vivi,
Have a great trip, wish you bring computer with you so you can write us sometimes. Will miss you a lot.

Vivien
