La Tempestad Capitulo 53, Wed 10/9/13 - See ya, wouldn’t wanna Bea ya
This was an awkwardly edited episode. I combined some scenes which helped me but not necessarily the continuity of events. Did Uni combine episodes again?
Mañana - Mercedes reveals her secret to Bea.
Labels: tempestad
I agree that dance scene was weird, here was a prime opportunity for WL to show what he can do.
I loved the title. I thought that Bea was improving and then this. I should have figured that something was remiss when she said something sensible at the Fandango.
Hernan and Ernesto are so out of control. Can't wait until their anvils drop.
I wonder if the twins- Mag and Marina will meet sooner than later?
I was so uneasy with this episode. When Hernan took Marina away I just wanted to scream. Then I just kept telling myself BREATHE-it's just a story.
If Marina promises Bea she'll leave the town I will scream. ITA ShutupBea!; With her dying breath she's annoying.
And yet, looking forward to tomorrow...
Sylvia, just reading "See ya, wouldn’t wanna Bea ya" had me laughing heartily. A gem. Of course this was a veritable treasure trove with "A likely excuse, she probably just wanted Jose to carry her around", "Bea looks bad. Maybe she finally shut up" and "Hernan calms Marina down, the better to see you with my dear..." - all shone brightly.
The scene of Dam and Marina on the bus was adorable. The actors seemed to really be having fun. It all seemed genuine.
In terms of the plot? Yes, Becky should have sent Jose after Marina. This clearly made no sense. And Marina should have waited for Dam before leaving. However,in her defense, I've never seen a pushier, more insistent character than Hernan. He played on her emotions and I can't blame her to leave so quickly if she thought every second was critical.
So Hernan's fired just about everyone now. Does he have any replacements in mind?
Agree with you and Tablet jefa that William should have been given the chance to strut his dancing stuff which would have been Damdandy.
I hope Mercedes looks at Macario and thinks that anyone with the bad taste to wear such a hideous wig cannot be trusted. Smarmy attitude aside. Ack.
ITA with you Emarie on Bea: "With her dying breath she's annoying". Totally.
Thanks Sylvia! Truly enjoyed and greatly appreciated.
Diana
This recap is a sparkling diamond! I especially liked the title! Thank you so much, one of your best, evah! I like the reference to Elvis ; )
I really liked that Laz told Fully not only no, but hellz noes! That grin of Fully's though.
I think Jose wasn't sent to get Marina cause he had to be in RLayDee to summon the helo for Bea and support for Becky. She would have so fallen apart without him.
Diana:
I'm with you about the replacements for Olinto and DamFab's crew. The La Temp crew is the one that gives Neptune the majority of the bidness. Hernan is such a petty jerk isn't he?
That dance was strange, to "Besame Mucho", the horny, er, I mean horn version. And I agree that they could have shown more of WL's dance moves. The guy was great on "Dancing With the Stars".
I feel for Bea, but she is still controlling. I think she knows that Marina will cave to anything now cause of how bad off Bea is. If Marina leaves RLayDee then there goes Neptune along with DamFab. I don't want Herny to win.
Mac is really good at sucking up isn't he? And the way he was eyeing Mags up, just as he did Hada/Ester. Mags did kind of look at Mac a little cross-eyed though. Maybe she does smell the whiff of something stinks.
Looking forward to tonight when Bea and Mercy have that little chat.
I too feel for Bea. She hasn't been using the sick card to manipulate people around her and she has been trying to suck it up and not show her suffering. Inability to breath and fainting are scary. In fact, I see some dignity in a way she copes with terminal illness. Bea is annoying at times; she is not the sharpest tool in a box but she is almost endearing with her simplicity and fiery love for Marina. Marina is a loved child and that is all on Bea.
His Hotness was ready to show the moves but Marina is too rigid to shake her booty. Imagine DamStarDancer with Ursullis! Now that would be something that would burn the screen. Ursullis is in a totally different league of sexy.
Madelaine, love your description of Maggie being cross-eyed. Cross-eyed, dry drunk, suspicious, cynical, an abandoned child who learned to survive and did not have much. I like how she screens her environment and people with an equal opportunity of being pissed at them.
Think Mejia, think
#1 why wouldn't Jose go to retrieve Marina? Becky sends Hernein, ¿Qué, what?
#2 what women leaves her purse in a restaurant?
#3 as far as I can tell these days, no one can let go of their cell phone for an instant
#4 O.J. race to the hospital!
If you can overlook the rug, hard to do I know, but Marcario has a nice face.
Good for Lazaro, they didn't even bother to toy with us about killing Dam. He was cute dancing at the fiesta.
Variopinta, ditto on all your points to Mejia. It just makes them all appear really clueless. Even in a TN, there has to be some respect for the intelligence of the characters. Otherwise, one stops caring, I think.
You did a great job recap this episode. I agree with you and all of commenters that there are many detail do not make sense.
Why didn't Becky send Jose or any man of Tempestad's crew to get Marina ?
Can Marina wait for few minutes to Dam to return or as least leave him a short note ?
Among three mothers, It look like Bea actually never accepts Dam. She had done everything possible to separate the two lovers, in sickness and in health, directly and indirectly.
In contrary, Mother Eusebia tried many times to unite the kids. In her death, she helped them reconcile.
Mercedes always wants the son of her "forever love" and the daughter of her "great love" be together.I would love to be in her place to look at the Grandchildren.
Vivien
If I can take CI, I can hang in here.
TG for Damhot.
Vivien, good observation about the three mothers. Of the three, Madre Eusebia was the only one who wasn't projecting her own agenda onto the couple. Bummer she's no longer around.
Marta in NY, glad you could stop by! ITA about caring for characters. So important.
Marina left her cell phone not once but twice. Not likely. Time to bring out the beanie!
"Let Bea sleep. Forever."
Yes... my exact feelings.
What a contrast, Beatriz dancin' her little tootsies off the night before and then gasping her last breaths the next day.
Too bad Eusebia croaked... no more magic drops for you, Beatriz.
Mercedes made me smile when she said to herself something like that she wasn't ready for Bea to die... yet.
Carlos
"Becky calls an ambulance...Ha ha! Just kidding! She tries to call Marina. Who is not medically trained. And is on vacation. (You didn’t really think she would call an ambulance, did you?)" HAHAHAHA!
"Bea looks bad. Maybe she finally shut up"
"Let Bea sleep. Forever"
and "Think, Dam! Think!" were among my faves.
Wow that was a tough episode to watch. I couldn't even enjoy the cute lovebirds cuz I was so stressed about crazy Herny firing poor Olinto and the sailors.
And when Herny followed Marina into the hospital room I wanted to SCREAM. And here I thought Bea would use her dying moments to (privately, Hernan) tell Marina something important like she's not her daughter, she manages to resurrect the old "leave R Laydee"?! Really? That's the best ya got? And then Herny going in for the shoulder squeeze. Aaaaaahhh!
And what up with Doc Suspenders doing everything but wrestling Dam to the ground to keep him from going to the private hospital?! Weird.
Your recap was downright hilarious, Capn. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Olinto and The Crew have now been fired. What will Marina and Mercedes say when they find out about this?
Scene on the bus with DamFab and Marina was adorable. Loved how DamFab told everyone just how much he loves Marina.
It was actually DamFab who was going to get the massage. He had been joking around about Marina making him carry that basket of fruit all morning and she offered to give him a massage. I wish we would have seen it happen.
Jose should have been sent to get Marina. Why let Hernan do it? So frustrating. And yes it did seem like Hernan was driving 5 miles per hour. He was driving so darn slow.
Glad that DamFab found out Marina left with Hernan because of Bea. Thank goodness for the crew.
I don't want Bea to die but seriously she needs to shut up about wanting Marina to promise that she'll leave R-Laydee.
Bea has some pretty big shoes to fill if you want to compare her to the magic Eusebia with her direct line to divine and the shining majestic Mercy.
She is limited, annoying, but not mean. She operates within the constraints of her tiny conventional world and her fears are fed by Herny. Yes, Bea has no magic ability to see the future and has no previous love ties to Michael Fabre to see DamGloriousHotness as Marina's soulmate . All she wants is the best (conventional best) for her daughter.
I don't want her to die. She finally let her hair down and started to have some fun!
I haven't finished the epi or your recap, but I have to give a shout of appreciation right now for "Bea makes the big mouth bass face some more "!! god.almighty.funny!!
Ana
“Bea makes the big mouth bass face some more when Becky’s not looking.”
"Becky gives Hernan the address of the love shack and the little weenie blasts outta there."
“Let the tonterias begin...”
I would've felt better about Marina had she taken a sec to write a note - "mom sick, gone to hospital." Then the note could've fallen on the floor or something so Dam would miss it and still have the same funk.
I'm giving Bea a break on her deathbed request, cause at least she didn't ask Marina to get back with Hernan. But it does make no sense that after Bea has been voted Singles Mingles Queen that she still fears for Marina staying in R-Laydee.
I took a gander at your song choices in the late comments. All fit very well! I really liked them!
I have been thinking more about the twin angle for Marina and Mags. What if they teamed up? Now that would be something. Pull the wool over everyone's eyes and get the bad guys. If Mags ever finds out the truth, Come on Mercy, tell her everything, then the hate will turn to Pervy Ernie. He is the one responsible for what happened to her, being on the streets, being a ho, being an alkie, etc. I really want Mags to be his anvil so to speak.
As far as Monica Miguel goes, she may be off camera, but I believe she is still there off camera, so to speak. It is still moving the same way it did. If this TN is being cut back some, they may have gotten rid of superfluous scenes that really weren't needed, that's my story and I'm stickin to it ; )
Sylvia - another gem for you from the title to the perfect jabs at Uni (the episode was disjointed) and the very bad logic in this episode.
Add me to the list of not quite understanding Bea's request aside from a bad plot device. She had a nice time at the party and people are nice to her and her daughter. I unfortunately feel it was her round-about way for Herny to get back in Marina's life which is horrible. She has seen him get crazy and request immoral things of her, why would this man be good for your daughter?!! She can't die b/c she needs to live to see how wretched her secret boyfriend really is.
Wow...Bea was the belle of the ball and Olinto was king for the day at the Single Mingle...Then, boom. Olinto is fired by Asshat , and Bea is breathless...not in the good way.
Marina does not seem to be tied to her technology. I guess DamMesmerizing could have that effect on someone...anyone...everyone. I only use my cellphone for emergencies and often forget to charge it. However, the Ipad gets charged every night without fail. Marina also left her purse at the masked ball/restaurant in Whoville. However, who can blame her. She was dancing with DamMasked Hottie Machoterson anticipating another noche de Amor. Then, The Big Bad Wolf shows up with the bad news about Bea, and off she goes with him. Blecchh.
Marcario reminds me of someone with that black wig...Donnie Osmond ???? And why doesn't Mercedes let Mag know that Ernasto is the one who stole her and plunged her into her awful life. I wish that she would get more bodyguards for Mag. Hector is good, but he could use some backup.
Wow...Jose looks very strong. He seemed to have no trouble sweeping Bes up in his manly, muscular arms. I was a little worried that those pants that he wears that are about one size too small for him might split.
“Bea makes the big mouth bass face some more when Becky’s not looking.”
Well, it needed to be said. Bea's large fish-like mouth is always reminiscent of a bass, but never more so than when she's gasping for breath. What a picture.
And my other favorite quote was about Becky calling for an ambulance...NOT. Sure hope no viewers are modeling their crisis behavior on telenovelas. The generalized over-the-top hysteria plus the inevitable shrill cries of "Reacciona, reacciona!" or Respira, respira!" just drive me nuts.
Haven't been able to watch the last few episodes but you all are doing a great job of keeping me up to date on the chaos. Muchas gracias Ms. Sylvia.
Uh oh. The gloves are off!
"Oh and tell the fat guy he’s fired too."
And then this whole piece:
"Bea staggers around and clutches her chest, then pretends she feels fine when Becky bops in with newspaper pics of Queen Bea getting crowned. (By Hernan? How odd.) Becky babbles that this shows the townspeople are on their side. Bea makes the big mouth bass face some more when Becky’s not looking."
I'll stop here, Cap'n, before I end up quoting the whole wickedly funny recap.
Don't get me wrong but we on the Patio are all dining out on your crankiness. This recap is simply inspired. Thank you!
P.S. Merce's decision to allow Mags to come to the hospital with her had me HOWLING with laughter. It's too soon for her to meet her sister so I'll take her to the very place in the gigantopolis of Mexico City where I know she will be.
While the cat's away, the rat will play. Funny!
I thought that I would never say this, but I am getting sick of watching Dam and Marina love scenes. We know already! They love each other and they will love each other for ever! Do you I'm jealous?
Could we see someone else without a shirt? On Abismo, that Dam and Gabino tagged teamed. The same for Amores...the with the two lead body guards. When one had his shirt on, the other had his shirt off.
Cynderella
I love this title! You did such a good job with an odd and crappy episode. So many editing jumps; it seems the Televisa TN Compactor is working overtime.
Bea, is so manipulative that I want to slap her into Sunday. Why do TN folks fall for that patently manipulative power/over crap??? Like Emarie, I need to breath and remind myself that it JUST A TN.
Variopinta: #2: what woman leaves her purse in a restaurant? Ha ha ha.
The Mejia-isms are becoming clearer by the day, no?
The more brilliant line of the recap was, "Bea makes the big mouth bass face"...I cannot stop laughing. What a simile! LOL some some. THAT image, Sylvia, I will sure to borrow in a future recap.
EJ
Karen: "She can't die b/c she needs to live to see how wretched her secret boyfriend really is". Still laughing...
Diana
On the other hand, your tag team idea is excellent. I believe it's time for José to show us something besides those manly muscular arms.
All those in agreement, say "Ay!" (or Ay Yi Yi, as the case may be)
I am not sure where the storyline is heading regarding the twins. Will Patty and Cathy be changing places and tricking people ? Will high jinx ensue ??? Which is the princess and which is the pauper????
Also, how will Hernia manage to get ADisaster back to R-Lady...surely not while she is nine..ten? months pregnant and barely able to walk .
Carlos
...well except for certain curmudgeons who shall remain nameless. :D

I very much like the idea of the twins teaming up instead of trying to terrorize each other. Wouldn't that be a refreshing change? Of course the writers would have to think of some original ideas and dialogue as opposed to rehashed plots. Could such a thing be possible? I want Team M&M to take Ernie the Pervie down!
