La Tempestad, October 21, 2013. Capitulo 61.
Estercita tells Hernan that DamFab wants to take her son away from her and get a divorce. He has given her 2 days. Hernan forbids Estercita to give DamFab a divorce. Do what you have to do to stall it. Estercita complains that she has no money. Where's the money for the kidnapping of my son? I haven’t seen a penny yet (this woman wins mom of the year. NOT!). Hernan tells her that she will not have to worry about money since she is the heir of Ernesto's fortune. He will take care of getting it to her. She promises to give him a big bonus if he gets it quickly. He tells her he will keep her informed. After he hangs up, he calls her stupid. To think that I will let you see one penny of Ernesto's money. I am going to stay with it all.
Ursullied is lying on Hernan's bed with the twins. (I’m not taking about babies here). Hernan tells her to get to ready to head back home. Estercita is managing things badly. She complains that he hasn't spent any time with her, not even taken her out for dinner. Hernan tells her to listen to him. She refuses to do his bidding and they start fighting and he pushes her on the bed. You listen to me replies Hernan.
DamFab and Marina are on the phone talking. She can't believe that Estercita didn't put up a fight regarding the divorce that DamFab asked for. He assures her that he will fix things quickly so that they can be together. She needs to stay calm. Soon they will be together and no one will bother them. (only if you get rid of crazy Hernan, sweetcheeks). Every time he thinks of her his heart beats crazily like a “Tempestad”. She asks about Padre Tomas. He is getting better and better. She asks him to tell Padre hello for her. He asks her how she's doing. Fine replies Marina. She tells him that she will be dining tonight with.....but DamFab's phone loses power and she can't tell him who's she's dining with. Becky enters Marina's room to inform her that Hernan has arrived to take her to dinner. Marina tells Becky that she doesn't want to go, but she'll do it anyway.
Ursullied arrives at Estercita's and tells her that Hernan sent her to help take care of things. Estercita feels alone. Her parents are not happy with her, DamFab wants a divorce and Hernan is pressuring her. Ursullied says that she has gained DamFab's trust and is here to help her fix things. Estercita offers one of her bracelets to Ursullied as a thank you since she has no money. They hug and Ursullied says to herself that she will gain Estercita's trust but will stab her in the back when the time comes. (Ursullied abides by the rule “keep your friends close, but your enemy closer”).
Hernan takes Marina to a swanky restaurant. He tells her that he wants to distract her from her problems especially now. Marina tells him that she is uncomfortable about this whole thing. He grabs her hands, kisses it and tells her he just wants to see her smile. (I would wash my hand if I were her. I'm sure there's slime all over it). Macario and photographer are outside taking pictures of all this. It does not look good. Marcario hands the photographer some money and wants the pictures in all the papers tomorrow.
Ursullied is out walking around town and someone grabs her.
Blas calls Macario to find out about Estercita and son. He tells her that she returned to her hometown after she regained her memory.
Ursullied is being tossed around by the mugger when DamFab comes upon them. He tells the mugger that he will show him how to respect woman. The mugger pulls out a knife and gets ready for a fight. The mugger tries to stab DamFab, who starts dancing to avoid getting shanked. He throws some punches and the mugger goes down. He turns to assist the crying Ursullied up. (never turn your back on an enemy by boy). DamFab sees the mugger running off and starts to go after him. Ursullied begs DamFab not to leave her.
Blas wants Macario to inform him of Estercita's whereabouts when he finds out. They hang up and Macario wonders why Blas wants to know where Estercita and her son are.
DamFab takes Ursullied to his house. She thanks DamFab coming to her rescue. He tells her not to think of the incident. Luckily nothing bad happened to her. Ursullied tells him that she will be eternally grateful to him and she will now be watching out for him. She's grateful to have him in her life.
DamFab and Robles are talking in the extremely well camouflaged van. DamFab doesn't understand why Hernan wants to keep living in this town when he has many businesses. (Really? Can't think of one? I can give you two reasons, sweetcheeks). Robles says it has to do with his dirty business and no matter how much he investigates, he can't find a thing. DamFab thinks that Hernan is responsible for the fire at the fishing plant and other things too. Robles assure DamFab that he will be on Hernan like stink on (well you know). DamFab changes the subject and says that Ursullied was attacked last night and he wants Robles to look into it.
Marina apologizes to Mercedes for not taking care of the fishing plant. She doesn't think she's comprehending the job. Mercedes says she just needs to take a few days off to clear her head. Bea thinks it's time to return home. She is surprised that she misses it so. Mercedes begs them to stay for a few more days. Jose walks in at that moment and brings the paper to Mercedes. Becky asks to see the social section. She sees the picture and article and reads the headline out loud. “Hernan Saldana dining with his fiancee Marina Rebelde”. What says Marina. She says that between her and Hernan there is absolutely nothing. (Try telling him that. Oh, wait. You have. A thousand times). Mercedes hopes that no one takes the paper to DamFab. Or he will be DamMad.
Oops to late! The loving Estercita brings DamFab the paper. She thinks that Marina is doing this to make a statement. She doesn't really care if they remain married. DamFab doesn't really care. He just wants to know about the divorce. Estercita can't believe that he still defends Marina. Don't you care if you become the laughing stock in town? She shoves the paper in this face. He grabs it from her and tosses it away. He glares at her. Estercita asks if he finally realizes who Marina really is. While she enjoys her relationship with Hernan, you want us to divorce. She doesn't love you. She's only playing with you. DamAnnoyed tells her to stop. Estercita keeps at it. DamFab tells her to leave.
Hernan shows up at Mercedes and Marina for an explanation. He laughs it off saying that it's just the gossip rags. It's not important. Marina doesn't care. She just wants to fix it now. Hernan says he will call the editor of the paper to put in a clarification but can't assure her of nothing. Well try insists Marina. I don't want anyone to think that any of this is true. When you say everyone, do you mean the fisherman asks Hernan. I mean everyone replies Marina. But yes, including DamFab.
Estercita says she just wants DamFab to thank her for saving him from Marina. DamI'veHadIt forces Estercita to leave his cabin. He glances at the paper and wonders what Marina was doing when she asked for time.
Marina is still whining at Hernan. Marina gets a call from DamMad who demands an explanation of the picture in the paper. Is that why you asked me for more time? Marina takes her conversation outside away from Hernan. (First smart thing she has done. I can just see Hernan talking in the background to make it more difficult for her). Marina tells him that it's a big misunderstanding. DamMad says he feels hurt. You promised to wait for me and that you loved me. I do replies Marina. You have to believe everything in that paper is a lie. Then why do you go out with him asks DamMad. (Good question. Everyone is wondering the same thing, sweetcheeks). Why do you let him get close to you and hoping that he has a chance with you? If you really loved me, you wouldn't allow another man to touch you. Marina can't believe he is on her case after she saw Estercita kissing him. That's why I came to the city. DamMab asks if all this is for revenge. Marina denies it and tells him to think of how she felt seeing after Estercita kissed him. DamFab tells Marina that he wasn't kissing Estercita. I was arguing with her and explaining our situation. I was trying to get her to give me a divorce. And for that reason, you allowed Estercita to kiss you asks Marina. DamFab reminds her that he already explained what happened while she goes around letting Hernan kiss her hand. Marina can't believe he's saying these things. He must have forgotten everything she has told him. She hangs up. This whole time Hernan is eavesdropping. He walks outside and asks Marina if everything is okay. Of course not replies Marina. She needs Hernan to put a clarification in the paper. Hernan promises to speak to the editor but cannot obligate him to correct it. Hernan says DamFab should have more confidence in her. He shouldn't believe everything that he reads. Marina doesn't want to talk about DamFab with him. Before he leaves, he tells Marina to seriously think about his job offer. DamFab doesn't trust you but he's the one married to Estercita. (Gotta say, crazy one does have a point. I can't believe I agree with him).
Fully walks into Delfina's room. What are you doing here asks Delfina. I came for something in the closet replies Fully. This also use to be my room. Delfina takes out some jewelry to put on while she has her back to Fully. He looks at the scarf he got out of the closet and then at Delfina. He wraps in around his hand. He has murder in his eyes. Can he do it?
Marina tells Becky about her conversation with DamFab and how jealous he was. Becky says to give him time. Becky brings up the Estercita kissing situation. You acted the same way. Marina says that she eventually realized that Estercita was a manipulator and liar. Becky tells her men are different. They become temperamental and impulsive. Give DamFab time to think things through. She advises that they both need to stay calm. Otherwise, it will lead only to a break-up. Marina was going to give him time, but after this she doesn't know. The man she loves doesn't trust her. Perhaps Hernan is right and she should consider working for him. Becky thinks that the worst idea. Marina says he either trusts me or our relationship is over.
Delfina tells Fully that she wants to see her grandson. Want to come? Fully puts the scarf around her shoulders instead. Ursullied walks in and tells them that last night she was attacked.
Marina goes to find Mercedes in her room. She sees a picture of Mercedes with her dad. Mercedes walks out of the bathroom and Marina wants to know what she is doing in a picture with her dad. Why didn't you tell me you knew him? Mercedes says she was just waiting for a good time to tell her. Marina thinks she should have told her from the moment they met. Mercedes apologizes. That is one of the reasons why I wanted to make you an associate. In memory of him. Then how did you meet asks Marina. I was being my singing career and we became good friends.
Fully asks Ursullied for more details. I was walking and this guy attacked me. Did you see his face asks Fully. No replies Ursullied. The coward had his face covered. Fortunately, DamFab arrived and saved me. Fully goes off when he hears DamFab's name. Delfina reminds him that thanks to him Ursullied was saved. Delfina tells Ursullied that is why I never liked the fact that you danced at the cantina. Perhaps now you won't go back. Ursullid begs Delfina not to ask her that. Fully agrees with Ursullied. Delfina tells Fully to investigate then. He says he will get Valdivia on it. Ursullied promises to keep a better watch of her surroundings. Fully wants to know if she knows how to handle a gun. Of course replies Fully.
Marina isn't buying Mercedes story.
Hernan looks into Mercedes businesses. He makes a call and asks someone to ensure that her businesses go belly up.
Fully gives Ursullied a gun.
Mercedes asks Marina what she wanted. She tells her that Hernan bought a new business and wants her to manage it. Mercedes says if you want to leave, I will understand. I will miss working with you.
DamFab tells Estercita he's leaving to go back to the city. He wants to proceed with the divorce. Estercita reminds him that she didn't agree to the divorce. She would think about it. She can't believe he still loves Marina after she cheated on him with another. DamFab is not going to argue with her. He just wants a divorce. He will return later to bring his son back before he leaves. Fully comes in and tells Estercita he came to give her the money she asked for to take care of his grandson. DamFab says there's no reason for that. He will take care of his son.
Hernan tells Marina, Mercedes and Becky that there will be a party tonight and he has invited them all. Marina thanks him for the invitation, but doesn't plan on going. Hernan asks if it because of the article in the paper. Marina nods her head. Hernan thinks if she would accept his job offer, it's best that everyone sees her. I understand replies Marina. Perhaps it would be better if Ursullied went with you instead. Hernan informs them that she went back home. He tells Marina that she is a professional. You shouldn't let your personal problems affect your job. Marina agrees. Mercedes declines but Marina convinces her to go with her to avoid any misunderstandings. Becky bows out.
Fully goes to visit Padre Tomas. Padre Tomas knows that Fully caused/created his accident. Too bad your not like Delfina. Thanks to God and some good people, my life was spared.
Estercita tells Delfina about being sold and getting married to her owner. Delfina wants to know his name. Ernesto Contreras replies Estercita. He showered me with gifts. Especially after I became pregnant. Does that mean Michel doesn't belong to DamFab asks Delfina. No, he's DamFab's. I was pregnancy already when I got there. Delfina begs Estercita to forget about it all.
Marina tells Bea that she wants to cancel on Hernan and stay with her. She hasn't decided if she will go to work for Hernan. They talk about motherhood and Bea comments that her dad would be so proud. Now that you mentioned my father, I want to bring something to your attention replies Marina. Mercedes has a picture of my dad when they were young. Did you know they knew each other?
Delfina and Ursullied are out for a stroll with little Michel. Olinto is at the park and overhears Delfina telling Ursullied all the stuff that Estercita told her.
Alicia la chismosa wants to know why Marina got a percentage of the business and not Magdalena. Mercedes fears that Magdalena would lose it. Alicia warns her that Magdalena would get upset if she ever finds out.
Bea tells Marina that at first she didn't know it. She found out later after Marina starting working at the fishing plant. Why didn't you tell me replies Marina. I didn't think it was important says Bea. So what is Mercedes and your dad were friends. It's just a coincidence. I think differently replies Marina. When I asked Mercedes she became nervous. What are you thinking asks Bea. That your dad cheated on me with Mercedes? Your dad never did. He was a good man that filled me with happiness. Marina says it would hurt her to find out that she was lied to all this time.
Mercedes tells Alicia that she wants to prepare Magdalena. She has to prove that she can do it and then she will get her inheritance.
Robles is asking for begging at the park. Olinto brings him some tortillas. Olinto tells Robles that he has a good piece of gossip but he can't tell him. He really wants to but can't. Then he decides to confined in him and tells him that Estercita was married when everyone thought she was dead. Who was she married to asks Robles. I can't tell you that replies Olinto. But I can tell you his name was
Ernesto Contreras. I have never heard of him replies Robles. Neither have I says Olinto. But it's said that he was in a dirty business. The Feds raided his house and he was killed. So she came back. Olinto says he has to go back to work.
Estercita complains about not wanting to take care of the baby. Tomorrow she will hire a nanny. She can't stand another day with the baby, especially since it's Ernesto's. (What?!?).
DamFab shows up at Mercedes looking for Marina.
Becky and Marina are shopping. She gets a call from DamFab.
Estercita tells Hernan that DamFab is in the city and wants to fix things with Marina. Hernan reminds her not to give DamFab a divorce. He tells Estercita that he has a surprise for DamFab. I will send him back home more sooner then he wants.
Marina tells DamFab to give her more time to calm down. She wants to talk tomorrow. She tells him that she is going out tonight with Mercedes to a party that Hernan is throwing. DamFab doesn't understand why she lets Hernan do what he wants with her. He keeps getting in the middle. Marina says she's not letting him get in the middle because she doesn't love him. I can't believe you don't trust me. I do trust you replies DamFab. I'm just tired that you keep playing his game. Marina tells him that he should not believe in Hernan's games then. I only love you. Your attitude is making me wonder if I should keep fighting for our love. So think about it. If there is no trust, then it's best to break-up. She hangs up the phone on him.
Manana: Hernan wants Marina to go to London with him; DamFab meets Marina at the airport and says if you go, our relationship is over. (she's a freaking idiot).
Labels: tempestad
Thanks so much for this DamFine recap! It was marvelous start to finish.
Hernan his winning his little game unfortunately. I bet he got Mac to take those pics of him and Marina at that restaurant while he was being hands on with Marina. I hope though, that Marina stops playing Herny's little game, but then again she wants to go on vacay with Herny to London, que que what? I think Sweet Cheeks (fab name for her) is losing her eva loving mind!
For once, just this once, I wish that Marina would listen to Bea, I can't believe I'm saying this, and return to RLayDee. The more she stays in the D.F the more she gets embroiled in Herny's web.
I felt bad for Pester for just a second tonight, when she was telling her Mama about the life she had when she was gone. Those tears were heartwrenching. On the other side of the coin though, I can't stand the fact she lies and lies to DamFine and tells him that bebe is his, when she knows it is the Perv's but I am glad that DamFine is taking care of the bebe. Michel doesn't deserve to be raised by Pester or in the Perv's clutches.
Who is the perv attacking women in RLayDee I wonder?
I am so liking the Commandante. He is still on the case and I hope that eventually the Commandante is able to take all the baddies down, you know the Perv, Herny, Fully and Nereo. He just needs to find some good solid proof.
Can't wait to see what happens Tuesday night with this supposed vacay to Londres. No puede ser!!!!!
Perhaps Nereo is the masked attacker. Didn't he have a thing for Ursullied ? Again...DamSuperman saved the damsel in distress. Ursullied seemed to enjoy being wrapped up in the manly, muscular arms despite the trauma from nasty attacker.
Well..off to babysit..yawn.
I loved, "Ursullied" what a great name.
This TN has some huge plot holes, and one big one is the amnesia people keep having. Mercedes knows that Hernan was somehow connected with Ernesto's business-and she doesn't try to warn Marina, she just says she'll respect Marina's decision. I mean, Marina is asking her opinion, I think it is time to spill the beans! A month or so ago she actually warned Bea about him-and did they forget they tried to take away his partnership in the packadora?
Did they just hire new writers who don't know the story?
"DamI'veHadIt", "only if you get rid of crazy Hernan, sweetcheeks" and "Try telling him that. Oh, wait. You have. A thousand times" were but a few of my favorites.
Color me cynical but did I detect only the tiniest bit of a smirk on Ester's face after she related her harrowing experience to Delfina?? I felt badly at her tears but then...Perhaps her callousness and uncaring attitude about her child has left me cold where she is concerned.
Agree with you, Madelaine and Emarie that Marina is being totally ridiculous. She is playing right into Hernan's dirty little hands. Can't blame Dam for being dismayed. And yes, I'm also surprised and puzzled by Mercedes' silence regarding Hernan.
Susanlynn, agree that Nereo is the masked attacker. How fortunate Dam happened by at just that moment. For a minute, I thought maybe Ursula had set it up but she couldn't have had it timed that perfectly.
Madelaine, love the Commandante. He is the best hope for our beloved characters here as he is the only one who seems to be thinking clearly.
Glad Delfina lived to see another day but I sadly expect there will not be too many more.
The plot which was so intriguing previously now seems to be mired in muck. Where is the passion and dedication that Dam and Marina exuded? They should be determined and united in their fight to be together and let no one stop them. Letting petty jealousies and Hernan's childish interference stop them is beyond frustrating.
Thanks again Gloria!
Diana
You are so right, Marina is a freaking idiot. Stop entertaining Hernan. He is like the stinging bee that never dies.
Madelaine, I agree about the Comandante. I'm glad that he is finding out the whole story bit by bit.
Diana, you said it all, what happened to the passion and dedication that attracted me to the novela? Yep, Pester was smirking, lying beyotch. I can't wait until her real baby's daddy is uncovered. It may be like in Destilando Amor, where the protangist keeps the baby as his own.
I was wondering if this was a double episode or not because the attack scene came and went so quickly. Hmmm!
Gracias Gloria! What a fun recap. "She's a freaking idiot." must be tonight's theme.
Your comments are always hilarious: 1) Ursullied is lying on Hernan's bed with the twins. (I’m not taking about babies here).
2) he will be on Hernan like stink on (well you know).
3) (Gotta say, crazy one does have a point. I can't believe I agree with him).
And Alicia didn't let us down! She's denser than ever.
I kinda felt sorry for Estercita. Sure, she's a schemer, but at the same time I can't help but notice that she always ends up victimized in some way.
The perv attacker? ITA it's gotta be Nereo.
Love the name Ursullied. As for the twins in bed with her, very clever indeed!
Marina is beyond ridiculous in continually letting Hernan into her life, but as you said, he does have a point about Damian being the one married to Estercita.
I never thought for a minute that the baby was DamFab's. Lucky for little Michel that he has Damian.
If Marina goes to London, I will have no words....
I am getting a little weary of all the violence against women in this novela. They are being attacked, sold into slavery, emotionally abused. Basta and Bleccchhh. We need a Wonder Woman. Mercedes you have already taken names, so now you must start kicking ***.
Marina must've had a lobotomy when I wasn't looking. Come on, she lets Hernan paw her everytime she sees him. I don't think she'd like it if Candy or another "friend" of DamFine were constantly in his face. She sure jumped on that Pester kiss to justify her own stupid behavior. I don't think she's worth fighting for at this stage. She's limp and pathetic. DamGood is doing all the heavy lifting. She doesn't deserve to have DamHero in the end.
Pester is good at being a victim. Sure she didn't win the parental lottery, but she's become a professional victim and liar to get what she wants.
Robles has a dream job with flex time, a wardrobe account and other perks like free tortas.
Marea Primavera
I'm beyond annoyed with Marina. She allows Hernán to paw her and offers up her cheek for him to kiss, and now she's upset with Damián for reacting to the photo of her and Hernán in an intimate setting with a caption confirming their engagement?
And why trust Hernán to get the newspaper to print a retraction? Is she completely helpless?
My favorite scene (I know, I should feel ashamed) was Fulgencio, Delfina, and the scarf. It was so funny to me for him to go from so alarmingly menacing to so attentively affectionate without her ever being any the wiser. He is such a great actor.
Carlos
I too thought the attacker was Nereo. Maybe Ursullied can shoot him in the avocadoes next time he tries that. One can hope........
Ur-Sullied Twins Haiku
I see what you mean
R-Lay-Dee's second choice
Put them away, now
Our pastor used to wind up his sermons with "Here's the take home message...". Well, the take home message here is that Marina is BEYOND DUMB. Gahhhh.
So Ursula is packing heat now. That couldn't possibly go wrong. Right?
The investigator that Mercedes hired to check into Hernán recently reported finding nothing dirty in his background. [Rumor has it that the investigator is Alicia's brother.]
Vita,
Your Ur-Sullied Twins Haiku is inspired! Thank you.
1. Damian - obviously, a homecoming king with adoring friends and blissful love of the kids; keeps long-term true friendships and has an ability to make new friends (hello, Claudio).
2. Marina - no real long-term friends besides mommy, suspicious, paranoid, standoffish, even about Mercy who has been nothing but an angel to her family. No wonder she has issues with trust.
3. Hernan - friends' repellent, practicing black fake friendship to seduce Marina's mommy, boinking girls out of anger, not love. Voldemort.
4. Mercy - many true friends, loved by her inept staff, can make friends among sex workers and business people alike, a queen of the castle with a wounded soul.
5. Fully - nuclear waste of a heart, frenemies with Herny and Erny on as need-to-use-them-for-awful-things base.
6. Erny - Some say, and that day may never come, he will call upon his true friends. Oh shucks, that day will never come.
7. Ursullied - Hernan with tits, practicing the same brand of fake black friendship.
8. Tia B., Commendante, even Bea, Jose, Jose's pooch, baby Michel, Olinto, Delfina, and the rest of the regulars are intertwined with love and care for each other.
9. And who would forget Pester the anti-mommy and her one true friend Macario of the Wig? The unlike pair bonded on shopping for the dominatrix outfit and bling-bling.
10. Last, but not least, is Maggie the lost girl. The one who needs true friendships the most, to heal. Go into the light, Maggie.
Estercita is a foolish beyotch and no kind of mother, but her half-confession to her mom got to me. At least she didn't claim she was physically forced. I think Estercita genuinely felt and needed comfort from her mom. Too bad she won't cough up all the truth and let Delfina help her get on the right path, instead of pestering Dam.
Now that DamFab saved Ursula from rape, will she have a heart and stop going along with Hernan to hurt him?
Emarie - ITA about the memory loss of so many and over things that are very important. Come on writers, get it together.
Diana, Sylvia, et al - yeah my money is also on icky Nereo for Ursullied's attack.
Vita - thanks for the list. And please don't be offended by my suggestion (after a morning of reading about how bias occurs subtly everyday) of the bad relationships being just fake friendships.
I wondered if anyone else sees the allusions the writers made with Estercita and the Ester of the Bible, who was prepared by the head Eunich for the king
Glad that Pester admitted the bebe is Ernesto's.
This was a double episode. I hate those Uni scissors sometimes. No more time, see you guys later.
"DamFab and Robles are talking in the extremely well camouflaged van."
DamRight, Marina keeps playing Hernan's game.
