This was actually 2 episodes. The unseen parts are in red.
DamFab recalls Marina telling him
he's going to be a father again. Marina rubs her belly and tells the unborn baby
that they will all be happy together.
Ursullied tells
Estercita that the necklace she is wearing was given to her by Hernan and she
came to show Fully. Estercita says it's pretty, but not the same quality as her
jewelry. Ursullied wants to know who gave her her nice jewels. Estercita says
she will tell her another time, but right now wants to talk to her dad alone.
She tells Fully that DamFab gave her divorce papers. She needs his help. If
things keep going this way, he will lose his grandson.
Hernan in the hot red pants is
kissing some hoochie. He reminds her that he doesn't like surprises.
Fully yells at Estercita for naming
the baby after Michel Fabre. Estercita tells Fully
that his grandson really is Ernesto's and not DamFab's. (I thought he already
knew?).
Macario visits
Ernesto. Ernesto thinks in all the years Macario has worked for him, he thought
he knew him. But ever since Macario started working for Hernan he has become a
traitor. Macario denies the whereabouts of Estercita and son. Ernesto says stop
lying. Macario finally admits he knows but won't tell him. You took my family
away from me and now you will not be able to find yours. I want you to suffer the
way I did all these years. You will never, never see your son again!
Fully says he knew it!
How could you register my grandson with that name? He is Ernesto's! All this
for that man. Estercita promises to compensate him. Fully agrees to help but
only because his grandson is Ernesto's.
Ernesto wants sweaty Macario to tell
him where his wife and son are. Macario says he no longer fears him, but pities
him. You killed my wife and daughter behind my back. You took what I most loved
in the world and because of that; I am alone in this world. You allowed me
think that my wife left me and took my daughter with her. But you knew they
were dead. Macario kicks Ernesto in his peg leg and knocks him down. Macario
points a gun at Ernesto's head and says your time is up. Your fate is in my
hands and I will kill you. I will send you to hell!
Fully says he can't wait until
DamFab finds out that the baby is not his. What a great day that will be.
Estercita wants to know what is going on with the papers. Fully says just leave
it all up to him. Tomorrow I want you to take the baby away from DamFab.
Rosario and JazLu are cleaning the
house. Rosario comments that she didn't know things were bad between her and
Lazaro. What are you talking about asks JazLu. Rosario says if things were
good, then he would never have cheated on you. I found out today that they
reason Lazaro left school was because he was thrown out. They found him in bed
with another woman. JazLu starts crying. (What a witch)
Ernesto
wants to know who told him. Hernan yells Macario. Macario tells Ernesto that Hernan also hates him for killing
his parents. He keeps shouting at Ernesto and doesn't see Ernesto pulling a gun
out of his pocket. He shoots sweaty Macario in the head. He smirks and tells
Macario that he has always told him to shoot if he had a gun in his hands.
Never gab.
Fully is happy that
his grandson is Ernesto's son not DamFab's. He says he has to be close to
Estercita. He will use this information to attack Hernan and get rid of him
forever.
DamFab and Marina are talking on the
phone. Marina loves to hear from him. He wants to know how little Marina is doing.
Mama Marina laughs and says she wants to have a meeting in their dreams and
let's sees what happens. He prefers to see her in person first and asks her to
come over. She doesn't think she can since all his buddies live there. He
recommends “La Tempestad”. She agrees but only for a while.
Lazaro swears to JazLu that he
doesn't remember what happened. Nosy Rosy is listening in. Lazaro explains what
happened, but JazLu doesn't know if she can stay with him. The whole time they
are fighting Nosy Rosy is smirking. What
an evil woman.
Becky brings Jose a
book of poems that she wants to read to him.
Sorry didn’t have time to write up the poem. It was about love and desire.
Ernesto makes a phone call to Nereo.
Ernesto wants him to swear allegiance to him. He says come to me, but tell no
one. I don't forgive traitors. When he hangs up, he says to dead Macario that
it's time to get back his wife and son.
Becky is still reading
to Jose. Jose's annoyed. He tells Becky that he believes in only one love and
now she's making fun of him. Becky says I was only kidding. Just like you have
done me. Well, I'm not amused and Jose walks out.
Ernesto has a voice scrambler and
starts to make a call.
DamFab gets a call. It's Ernesto
with his voice disguised. He tells DamFab that he will not allow him to take
away what he loves most. DamFab laughs and says he doesn't know who he is, but
if he calls again the one that will regret it is him and hangs up.
At the cantina, Lolo
asks if Cande loves him. Of course I do says Cande. Well, it's been 2 minutes
since you have kissed me. They kiss. Jose is drinking and Becky shows up. You
don't mind if I sit, do you asks Becky. Jose tells her to sit, dance, get a
drink at the bar. Whatever she wants. That's what she always does anyway. She
apologizes again. It was just a joke. Jose tells her he's tired. You know I
love you, but it seems you don't feel anything for me. So I won't keep
insisting anymore. She tells him she cares for him but.... But what asks Jose.
You are scared of being in love? Why don't you find someone who you can fall in
love with? Becky gets mad at him and goes to the bar to order a double shot of
tequila.
Nereo has made it to Ernesto's.
Nereo is shocked that it's really Ernesto and he's alive. Not many people can
get rid of me easily replies Ernesto. Nereo comments about his peg leg. Ernesto
points a gun at Nereo and tells him if he betrays him, he will end up like
Macario. If you are loyal, you will be compensated well. Understand? Nereo
thinks to himself that running with Fully and Hernan are just as dangerous then
running with Ernesto. At least with Ernesto, I will be under his protection.
Nereo tells Ernesto he's in. Ernesto says you will be my bodyguard and right
hand man. Now the first thing you need to do is get rid of the body.
Robles wants to know
if the rumor is true. Is there proof on “La Tempestad” regarding Fully's dirty
dealings? Yes, my father told me replies DamFab. But I cannot find it. Knock on
van door. Robles is wanted on the phone. DamFab leaves and Robles says he forgot
to tell him about Hernan.
Back at the cantina,
Ursullied is putting on a show. Jose continues drinking and is chit-chatting
with a young woman. Becky keeps looking at Jose as he caresses the other
woman's hair. Becky tries to draw attention to herself, but Jose ignores her
and keeps talking to the young woman. Oso asks Becky if she wants to dance.
Jose takes the young woman on the dance floor also. He tells the woman that she
has beautiful eyes in front of Becky. She bumps into Jose but he keeps flirting
with the woman and tells her she's beautiful. Jose and Becky trade insults.
Hernan again is trying to make some
plans to hurt DamFab. He tells Estercita
that he will help her. He is sure that DamFab will not want to part with this
son. Sully struts outside and gets introduced to Estercita. She barely
acknowledges Estercita and jumps into the pool with Hernan and instantly
latches on. Estercita tells herself that her cousin will not like this woman at
all.
Ernesto shows a
picture of his wife to Nereo. Nereo says her name is not Hada but Estercita.
She has lived all her life in Pueblo de Nuestra Senora del Mar. Ernesto
finds out from Nereo that Estercita is Fully's daughter. Ernesto thinks this
will give him a leg up over Fully. Nereo says that he has problems with Fully.
Ernesto tells him not to worry. He will make sure that Fully doesn't hurt him.
Nereo says he is aware that Ernesto doesn't know a lot of things. Your wife
already had another husband when she got lost in the ocean. This news does not
make Ernesto a happy camper. Nereo also tells him that Estercita is passing his
son as her other husband's. They even registered him together. Ernesto pulls
out his gun and tells Nereo to stop lying. Nereo swears he's telling the truth.
Is not his fault that his wife is also wife of Captain Fabre?
Estercita tells Hernan that she's
leaving. Hernan reminds her that he has always helped her. Hernan's cellphone
rings. It's Ernesto who asks him that if he thinks it will be easy to take the
leadership of the organization because you are wrong. You are a traitor. Hernan
hangs up and tells Estercita that it seems it was Ernesto's voice on the other
end. Estercita becomes scared and says it can't be. He's dead.
Jose
and Becky keep playing their bumping into each other game. The crewman and
Cande talk about them. Cande thinks they should interfere and tells Lolo to
dance with Becky and she will dance with Jose.
Fully is tired of waiting for
Ursullied. He decides to go to bed but gets a call. Ernesto tells him to return
what's his and kill DamFab.
Hernan tries to calm Estercita. She
yells out that she doesn't want to return to him. He yells at her to calm down
so that they can think. She says to call Macario. He tries but no answer. We
see Macario's body lying in the woods. Hernan tells Estercita that Ernesto is
dead. (I think he's trying to convince himself).
More dancing. Lolo and
Cande start dancing together which leaves Becky and Jose together. They do not
look happy.
Robles is on “La Tempestad” looking
for something. He recalls his meeting with Mercedes who said that Michel Fabre
had other damming evidence. He says he has to find it but where? We get a
glimpse of exactly where it's hidden.
Lara and Valdivia are at the dock.
They see “La Tempestad” and Lara thinks they should go on board to see what
they can find. Valdivia thinks he's crazy. Lara notices a light flashing around
the cabin. What should we do asks Valdivia. Lara thinks they should sneak in
and beat the person so they will stop prying into their business. He wants to
surprise whomever is on board.
DamFab and Marina are
walking the boardwalk to the boat. Some people walk by and say hello. DamFab
points out that people are now looking at them like a couple. Unfortunately,
people still are bothering me. Someone called and said to return his wife and
son to him.
Hernan keeps telling Estercita that
Ernesto is dead. Stay calm and let's forget about all this. Sully brings
margaritas. Ursullied walks up and sees Sully kissing Hernan's chest. She asks
him who this woman is and what is she doing here?
Lara and Valdivia drag out Robles
and start beating him. DamToTheRescue sees this and runs to his aide. He tells
Lara and Valdivia to stop. They can't believe that he's not grateful for
protecting his boat. They found this guy snooping around. Valdivia says he's
tired of DamFab and tries to hit him with his baton. DamFab avoids the hit and
punches Valdivia in the face. Lara wants in and gets punched in the gut. After
more hitting they get tossed in the ocean. Marina runs for help and brings back
Lazaro. Robles tells DamFab that they broke his ribs.
Ursullied and Sully are having a
nice chit-chat. Ursullied finds out that Sully ran into Hernan in the city and she
couldn't take her mind off of him. (why not? You would if you knew how crazy he
is). Hernan says Sully's a good friend. Sully says they are more than friends.
They stopped seeing each other for a while, but with their past he's not so
easy to forget. (I say try). Ursullied
informs Sully that she will need to forget because she and Hernan are in a
relationship. A very intense one. She then plays tonsil hockey with Hernan as
Sully looks on. She is not happy.
Jose kisses the woman
and Becky goes berserk and wants to go after him. The crewman hold her back.
JazLu shows up and tells Becky that Lazaro cheated on her.
DamFab, Marina and Lazaro are at the
hospital. Marina is proud of them both for helping a stranger. They helped
someone in need. Lazaro tells DamFab that he doesn't want to lose JazLu. DamFab
asks what's up. Lazaro doesn't want to say it in front of Marina. She says
perhaps she can help.
Back at the nightclub, Mags is
working. Mercedes wants to talk. She doesn't think they can continue like this.
They are family. Mags says they aren't. Families have love and trust. Mercedes
wants things to go back to the way they use to.
Cande tells JazLu that
if Lazaro wasn't drunk he would never have cheated on her. The crewman tell
JazLu that they are there if she needs anything.
DamFab thinks that what Lazaro did
was wrong. All you did was hurt JazLu. Lazaro says he didn't want to hurt her.
He can't remember what happened. DamFab says it happens when you drink too
much.
Jose is still with the
woman talking. He sees the crewmen walking by and asks for Becky. She left with
Oso. Jose is jealous.
DamFab is walking Marina back home.
They are going tomorrow to find their new home together.
Olinto gives a speech
at the bar informing every one of his decision to run for mayor. DamFab is
happy. He will be the best mayor for the town.
Marina tells Bea that
today she and DamFab are going to look for a house. Bea is happy. She tells
herself that DamFab will protect her from Hernan. I wish I could tell you how
crazy Hernan is.
Mercedes goes to visit Mags. What do
you want asks Mags. Mercedes wants to talk. She tries to explain, but Mags
doesn't want to listen. She says she won't believe her and if she keeps
insisting she will disappear.
Fully is mad that Olinto is running
against him for mayor.
Hernan comes to visit Bea. Jose is
helping Becky clean up the house. She makes a comment that she is surprised he has
the strength to pick up a potted plant after last night. He stayed pretty late
at the cantina.
Hernan walks into
Bea's room and says hello to Marina. Marina is giving therapy to Bea and he
offers to help. Hernan is rubbing Bea's arms and
she is giving him the stink eye. Marina is surprised at the way Bea is looking
at Hernan. She has never seen her to that. Hernan says he and Bea have a close
relationship. Isn't that right, Bea asks Hernan. Bea tells herself that she will
not allow him to hurt her daughter.
Becky tells Jose to
return to the woman from yesterday and leaves. Jose says he's jealous after
seeing Becky in Oso's arms.
Lazaro comes to visit JazLu at the
fishing plant. He brings her a rose and asks her if she's more calm. He asks
her what he can do to make her forgive him. She doesn't know. She still loves
him. He begs her to let him demonstrate how much he is sorry. She doesn't think
she can and asks him to leave. And don’t return.
Hernan and Marina leave Bea. He
tells her that he has to go back to the fishing plant. Marina says she will be
returning to work tomorrow. Today she is going to look for a place to live with
DamFab. Hernan tells himself that neither he nor Estercita will let that
happen.
Lazaro tells Fully that his marriage
with JazLu is about to end. He tells Fully that he made a mistake. At a party,
he ended up with another woman. His mother went to the school, found out what
happened and told JazLu. Fully hopes that things will work out. Fully is not
happy with Nosy Rosy.
Robles and DamFab talk. He thanks
DamFab for saving his life. Looks like Robles is staying at DamFab's house.
DamFab says that Olinto has officially put in his bid to run for mayor.
Hernan tells JazLu
that he knows she doesn't trust him. I know you think that I am involved in
that dirty business. But I'm not. Don't you remember Robles was investigating
me? Well, if I was involved, he would have arrested me.
Padre Tomas is getting onto Nosy
Rosy for telling JazLu what happened. It should have been Lazaro who told his
wife. You are making yourself the worst mother-in-law. You should have kept
your mouth shut.
Becky is griping to Marina about Jose's
behavior last night. Marina says it's really your fault for dancing all night
with another man. It's time you gave up the single life. Becky thinks she
right, but this decision could change her life forever. Marina reminds her that
Jose is a good man. He loves you. Think about it.
Hernan wants to know
what's wrong with JazLu. She tells him she had a fight with Lazaro. He offers
to help in any way. She says she sees he's a good man. (I say she’s blind)
Fully gets onto Nosy Rosy for what
she did. She says she did it to show Lazaro a lesson. Fully says she did it to
keep Lazaro by her side. He is a grown man. For your own good, leave Lazaro
alone. Are you threatening me asks Nosy Rosy. Of course replies Fully.
Becky asks Marina to
leave her alone for a while. She thinks about Marina's advice. Her hat flies
away and Oso tries to get it and runs into her. They fall on the ground and she
has sprained her ankle.
Nosy Rosy tells Fully
if he is so concerned about Lazaro then claim him publically. Fully says he
will in his own time.
Oso tells Becky that
she needs to walk carefully and in a couple of days her ankle will be better.
Becky gets up to leave but can't. Oso offers to carry her home. She comments on
his strength.
Back at Hernan's crib, Sully puts
lotion on him. Ursullied is not happy. Sully flirts with him. Ursullied comes
to defend her turf and tells Sully get her things and leave. Sully reminds
Ursullied that this is not her house and Hernan is not her husband. Hernan gets
tired of this and shoves them both in the pool. Laughs his crazy laugh and
jumps in. Ursullied sees the housekeeper bringing out Hernan's juice and she
forgot to put his medicine in. Now we will all suffer today.
Ursullied gets onto Hernan for
throwing her in the pool. He gets mad at her and grabs her by the throat. She
apologizes. She strips down and decides to bring him another juice with his
medicine in it.
Jose reads the poem
that Becky read him. In walks Oso with Becky in his arms. Jose wants to know
what happened and offers to look at her foot. She tells him not to bother. Oso
already did it. Oso says he has to go, but wants to come back tomorrow to see
how she is doing.
Fully is mad at Nosy Rosy. He just
wanted to Lazaro to come back and help take care of his business not to break
up with JazLu. He needs his grandson with him.
Jose wants to know
what poem she will be reading to Oso. One about animals? Becky tells him to
help her to her room, but Jose tells her to call Oso instead and leaves.
Lazaro begs JazLu not to leave. He
doesn't want to lose her and their child. She says it's too late. He begs her
to stay. She can't. No matter if they resume their relationship, his betrayal
will always be in between.
DamFab and Marina are going to look
at a house together. He found a great place and she is excited to see it. The
house also has a room for her mother and a nice garden too.
Mercedes tells Alicia that everyday
things are looking bad in her businesses. Alicia tells her things will get
better with her businesses and with Mags.
Marina loves the house and especially
her mother's room. Estercita decides to rain on their parade. She says she has
decided to give him the divorce. She has an opportunity to go work in Spain.
She hands him a folder. He reads it and says you want to take my son away from
me? What garbage is this? You can do what you want, but you will not take my
son from me. Estercita says she has every right. She will have a good job and
the company is even offering to pay for the education of her son. Marina tells
her that she can't do that. You know DamFab loves his son. Estercita tells
Marina not to get involved. This is between her and her husband. DamFab says
you are just doing this so that I won't divorce you but you will not get what
you want. Estercita tells him to consult with his attorney. She has every right
to take her son and never come back. The only way to get what you want is to
live with me and leave Marina. Otherwise you will never see your son again.
Manana: Fully threatens to take the baby away from DamFab
who punches him; Marina AGAIN breaks it off with DamFab; Estercita is leaving
with the baby and DamFab agrees to her conditions.
Gloria -- Thank you for the DamFab recap. Many thanks for filling in all the blanks of scenes that were cut. Damn you Uni (I just can't say that enough)!
ReplyDeleteRIP Macario. Lesson to be learned: If you are going to shoot someone just do it and don't waste time yapping and giving your enemy the chance to shoot you first. I will miss Macario but not his horrible wig.
Ernesto, please keep on calling Hernan and drive him mad!
Loved the beatdown DamFab gave Dumb and Dumber. The best part was when he threw them overboard.
Pester continues to be a pest. Ugh!
Gloria: Thoughtful, well written and amazingly detailed. This was a whirlwind of confusing events - thank you for clarifying all of the many events we did not get to see. Very sad that pivotal scenes/argument between Becky and Jose sadly landed on the cutting room floor. Ack.
ReplyDeleteYou translated the conversations perfectly, I could feel the tumultuous emotions emitting through your words. Your rather serious tone was the appropriate accompaniment to the mostly sad events that transpired. Enjoyed your comments (I thought he already knew?) - (I did too) and rift on Rosy (What a Witch) - Amen to that.
I thought Ernesto looked puzzled when Mac said he killed his wife and daughter but he didn't deny it did he? So, did Hernan tell the truth in this instsance? If Macario had not told Mags the lie about Mercedes selling her as a baby, I would feel badly that Mac met such a violent end. OK, I feel a little badly but really, not so much.
Rosy is despicable. Now that Fully knows the truth, I'm wondering if he will retaliate.
Ernesto is moving quickly to usurp his former seat of power. Wily and cruel I don't think the demented Hernan will be any match for him. Fully is cooler but Ernesto is craftier - it will be interesting to see what transpires.
Ester's plan is fairly brilliant (sorry to say). Obvious Marina would not let herself be the cause for Dam losing his son, nor would Dam let anything keep him from him as well. Let's hope Ernesto puts up a big roadblock.
Any chance Bea could regain her power of speech? My, what a tale she could tell.
Thanks again Gloria. This was great.
Diana
Gloria:
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for this wonderful recap of the two epis. So great to have all the missing pieces.
Becky needs to stop playing games and just fess up she loves Jose. Her joke backfired big time.
Don't get me started on SHUTUPROSY! Such a beyotch. She was smirking the whole while she was telling poor Lucia. I do like how Fully got on SHUTUPROSY's case. Could it be he actually cares about Laz? That is interesting, as Fully only cares about himself.
I think Fully knew all along that the bebe was Ernesto's he just didn't have proof until Pester told him. I think that is the only reason he is helping Pester.
The poor Commandante. I am glad DamI'llkickYourA** was johnny on the spot and threw both Valdivia and Lara in the drink! I can't wait until the Commandante arrests all of them.
Herny was somewhat calm this epi. Ursully must be finding times to slip him those tranqs. I don't like this new Sully/Zully character. I think she might match Herny in the crazy department. Ursully sure has some gumption I have to say.
I was surprised that Mac didn't kill the Perv first. I wish he had. It would have been the perfect revenge. Now Mac is dead and Perv lives another day.
Poor Marina and DamFab they advance and then here comes Pester. Ack!
I am liking Bea's eye contact. She sure was letting Marina know about Herny. I can't stand the way he is torturing Bea.
I really wonder if DamFab had told Pester to go ahead and take Michel to Spain if she would really go? I know he doesn't want to lose his son, but he knows she likes to blackmail to get what she wants, plus she can't ever leave DamFine alone. I guess he doesn't want to test the waters.
Mads -- I think Fully does care about Lazaro and wants his wellbeing.
ReplyDeleteDamFab should call Pester's bluff and tell her to go ahead and leave. It would awesome if he does that.
ShutUpRosy was at her worst last night. She relished having split about Lazaro and JazLu. I loved how both Fully and Padre T chewed her out for what she did. She deserves to end up all alone and to be shunned by the entire town.
Thanks, Gloia, for the fab, fast recap.
ReplyDeleteYikes, I did not expect Macaroon to be dispatched so quickly. Like you, Mauricio, I thought that instead of yakyakyakking, Mac should have shot Ernasty quickly. it reminded me of the James Bond movies in which the baddy yakyakyaks about his evil plan and 007 escapes.
Maybe fully and Ernasty will cancel out each other. Pester might be redeemable due her life surrounded by a terrible father and a hovering , weepy mother, and being sold to nasty Ernasty.
Ursullied came for the party. What a sport. After being thrown into the dead pool she gamely took off her dress and considered her skivvies as a bikini. Game on, Twiggy.
Mad....Fully Is so full of Himselfio, but if is going to care about anyone other than himself, it would be the male fruit of his loins because he is such a male chauvinist pig.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI just dropped by to wonder: what are they doing with this tn? Cutting out about 40 episodes is what I read?
I'm so sorry, guys, La Tempestad doesn't deserve this, no matter how bad it might get. It certainly can't be worst than Corazon Indomable, who is nowhere near its end and it's the absolute worst I've ever seen!
Adriana- It's not even a bad tn, imho, (not the best ever, but not bad). And nowhere near the mess CI is! Even with the major cuts, it's more coherent and consistent than CI.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this marvelous recap, Gloria. All the jumping around from scene to scene last night left me befuddled and confused. Thanks for filling in the gaping gaps for me.
ReplyDeleteErnesto and Macario were so much fun together last night. Too bad that it was Macario's last waltz. I almost choked when he kicked Ernesto's leg out from under him and then you gave me:
"Ernesto thinks this will give him a leg up over Fully."
Carlos
I completely agree, Adriana. We are not happy campers about the way they are destroying our novela, and so many scenes have been cut, but our dedicated recappers always fill in the blanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm still in the middle of watching the episode. I'll comment more later after I've finished watching, but I have to say that booty call phone conversation, where Dam convinces Marina to meet him at the boat for some alone time, was pretty hot.
ReplyDeleteWow Gloria, you did a yeoman's job on this one. Very detailed. Many thanks. I'm sure this took a long time, and please know how much all of us (including the lurkers) appreciate your care and dedication.
ReplyDeleteLike Diana, I'm sorry that so many Becky/José scenes are ending up on the cutting room floor. And just imagine how those two actors must feel! Here they are doing a terrific job portraying a tumultuous romance and pfffft! Univision takes the magic scissors and they're gone.
Anyway, thanks again. Excellent recap as always, Gloria.
Hey, Marina and Hernan look like the doublemint twins in their mint green outfits!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gloria, you did it again. Details, dialogues, and funny comments. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteIt amuses me how much the entire Patio wanted Bea to shut up and now we all scream, SpeakupBea!
Poor Macaroons, he was like a tragic Arlekino and sang his aria too long.
Erny advances. Herny unravels. Fully the parent grows a few decent cells in his brain.
Tia B. and Jose play push-and-pull and both lose.
Looking forward to His Hotness in different stages of undressing with Marina.
Gloria, thank you for the stupendous and thorough recap. I hate how they are cutting out all the fun scenes at La Guacamaya. Jose and Becky with their "elbow dancing" was a hoot. They've both got it bad.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh every time you said "sweaty Macario". Poor Tony Vela, bet he was "dying" to get out of that wig, heh.
Dang, Ernesto is an incredible shot. Can you imagine how hard it would be to whip a gun out and nail someone smack dab in the middle of their forehead?
Fully never fails to satisfy. Anybody else would be taken aback by the shrew Nosy Rosy when she asked "Are you threatening me"? But not our Fully who snapped back "Of course!"
Adriana Noel, thanks for your sympathy. Nope, La T does NOT deserve this. I haven't seen Corazon Indomable, so cannot compare, but I think La T has been pretty good. Certainly it is entertaining and has not been boring. (IMHO)
Thanks again Gloria, for going above and beyond!
Vivi, oh yes, the booty phone call with our half-glad galan...le sweat, le heave. And thanks for mentioning the doublemint twins. I was laughing and wondering if wardrobe realized what they'd done. Accident or deliberate?
ReplyDeletevita, a belated gracias for yesterday's haiku. Loved it! LOL about SpeakUpBea!
Vita:
ReplyDeleteI too loved SpeakUpBea. It's too bad that she can't. But she is using those eyes and Marina is catching on. I hope at some point Bea is able to speak again and tell Marina.
Cap'n and Vivi:
Yowsa with that phone call! I loved your comment Cap'n about le sweat, le heave, le sigh I added that, lol. It was muy sexy. Marina and DamI'llTakeYourCallAnytime are very romantic. This scene reminded me of calls Mr. Mads to me made from ports of call overseas. Good memories ; )
Vita --
ReplyDelete"It amuses me how much the entire Patio wanted Bea to shut up and now we all scream, SpeakupBea!"
You made me laugh with this comment. You are so right. Now that we want Bea to speak she can't. If only Marina could understand facial expressions. But alas she is blind when it comes to Hernan.
Vivi --
"Hey, Marina and Hernan look like the doublemint twins in their mint green outfits!"
I thought the same thing. Hernan's pants matched Marina's blouse and Marina's pants matched Hernan's shirt. Too funny.
Loving everyone's comments today.
ReplyDeletevita: "It amuses me how much the entire Patio wanted Bea to shut up and now we all scream, SpeakupBea!" Still laughing.
I read your previous posts and am sorry you are so disappointed in the way this turned out (as are we). I do hope you will give another TN a chance in the future -please don't leave all the fun and camaraderie here!
Susanlynn: "Game on, Twiggy" had me sputtering in my coffee. Great line!

Gloria- Thanks SO much for adding the missing scenes. Wow, I really wonder what the US audience, who aren't on Caray Caray, must think. They must feel like they're in Hernan's crazy, mixed up head.
ReplyDeleteVita- It is very ironic that we named her ShutUpBea, and that's her (and our) current punishment-- inability to speak, just when the info she has could help the heroine and hero.
By the way, the poem that Becky had for Jose was THE BLACK EYE SEMINARIAN, Poems of Miguel Ramos Carrión. I don't know much about the poem but I read it in Spanish. I believe it has to do with a young woman who watches out her window each day, eyeballing a handsome, dark-eyed seminarian as he passes. He also has eyes for her and they sneak looks at each other every day as he passes with the other priests. But one day she hears a sad chanting and it is her seminarian, dead, being carried to the cemetery. There is an old woman, alone, sewing and looking out her window; she watches the seminarians pass, sheds a tear, and thinks of her dark-eyed seminarian.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone else has a better idea of the content please chime in.
I liked how Jose was reading the poem on his own, and he was kind of touched and not so pithed off at Becky about it.

ReplyDeleteCap'n Sylvia -- Thanks for the info on the poem.
ReplyDeleteMore about the poem: Jose was a seminarian in the past. He told Rebeca about this part of his past. Rebeca chose this poem to read to him to tease him. Same way he teased her with the 100 Years of Solitude book he gave her. Jose was not amused though with the poem and did not find it humorous at all.
I thought Jose was a bit of a poor sport about it. Maybe because it hit too close to home?
ReplyDeleteMuchisimas gracias a todos los recappers and commentators - without your elaborations and work I would be mucho mas frustrada!
ReplyDeleteI have random comments, and can you blame me? Random and unconnected/disjointed is the theme now!
Mercedes - in episode before last-- was super fantastic - she saved the epi for me with her superb acting.
However, did anyone else notice the ABSURD red sweater she had on at dinner that was meant for a linebacker?
Like I said, random and out-of-sync comments, but.... I gotta catch it where I can.
Hernan - wow. BSC. and then some! this actor can act!
Hulu hasn't posted last nights epi, so... I can't comment on it, but thanks again to all:-))
Ana -- The red sweater Mercedes had on the other night was so distracting. I couldn't stop looking at it.
ReplyDeleteAna- Yes. I had a good chuckle at that fugly sweater.
ReplyDeleteSo Jose was going to be a priest?! Perhaps because what he shared with Becky about it was very personal (I imagine deciding to leave the priesthood was a tough choice), he didn't appreciate her making light of it. While she hadn't really given him any deep/personal reasons for her life philosophy of not forming lasting relationships with men when he gave her a copy of 100 Years of Solitude.
Sylvia...Is that a "half glad" Damcaller or a "halfclad" Damcaller ? He seemed totally happy to me, Amiga.
ReplyDeleteWell, some good news here. I just got a surprise call, too !!!!no, not a booty call from DamTalkative.
I tree fell on our storage shed awhile ago , and a dear old friend from high school (he and his now wife used to doubledate with hub and me all the time) just called me to offer to cut it up and remove it. What a nice surprise on a nice, sunny fall day. My faith in people has been restored by one phone call. Okay, not as exciting as that booty call Marina got! but........
Gloria - count me in as one of the grateful, for a splendid recap; missing scenes and all.
ReplyDeleteAna/Maurico/Vivi in DC - glad you mentioned that red fat ugly sweater. even the 80s would've rejected that.
ReplyDeleteGah...yes..that awful red sweater. It looked about 3 sizes too big for Mercedes' and her head looked like it was being served on a red, wooly plate. I hope that stylist was fired. Mercedes usually wears such lovely, stylish clothes, and I love marina's stylish yet comfortable looking wardrobe. . Maybe there was a last minute substitute stylist.
ReplyDeleteGloria thanks so much for the recap and filling in the missing parts. We all appreciate the extra effort you have made.
ReplyDeleteI am so disgusted w/Uni!!! And to echo Sylvia's comment from yesterday, if you know where to find full episodes, DO NOT POST IT HERE.
Poor Macario. You can talk over the dead body but don't dilly-dally over psychopaths.
Ana - I noticed that horrible red sweater and thought why on earth did wardrobe make that selection.
okay...so we are all agreed about that dreadful red sweater and will not be carrying it in the winter.Caraycaray Dress Like the Stars catalog.
ReplyDeletegee...Nereo tells Ernasty that "he has problems with Fully." Do you think ? Yeah..problems like Fully beating him up and trying to hang him. Who knew that Nereo was the master of the understatement ? I get a kick out of Ernasty taking Nereo on as his right hand man. Ernasty has no clue that Nereo has not been very successful in the villain department. Well, Ernasty is running out of underlings and beggars cannot be choosers,
ReplyDeleteI am in the middle of baking cupcakes when I heard an old Jimi Hendrix song that so perfectly fits this TN with changed lyrics of course ; )
ReplyDeletePurple Haze all in our brains

The red sweater?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Alicia set out Merce's clothes that day...
Gloria:
ReplyDeleteThis is such a well crafted and thorough recap. What a brilliant job you did in illuminating the events in Rrr-Lay-Dee. Including the second full recap took so much time, Gloria. Thank you. I now feel a little more content with the goings-on of the supporting cast.
All: I echo Karen when I say IF you can find any epis online, please do not post the URLs here.
It is very hard not to grumble about the combined episodes/chopdhopediting situation. I have been ranting about it so much that I have plum tuckered myself out.
I do not find La Tempestad to be the worst TN I have ever seen or recapped. There are some really good performances from fine actors in the supporting cast and Levy is showing up and bringing it.
Sanchez is almost as big of a jamon as Cesar Evora. I think he is OTT, but if I mute him I find that I care less about that. Tshi is particularly true when he is filming his swimming pool scenes. My there was a lot of bodily perfection showing by the pool last night, both male and female.
Zsully seems a completely random addition, adding nothing to the story but a great body in a blue bathing suit.
I admit to getting a huge kick out of Hernan shoving the girls in the pool. The best part was Ursula stalking out of the pool head high, in her dripping high-heel sandals, still holding her dignity by it's shreds.
Thanks again Gloria. Great job and much appreciated.
EJ
NM...snort! Let's not cut Alicia any slack, shall we? I'll admit to being concerned when Mercedes left her little tube of "proof" on her desk. Alicia = recycle it.
ReplyDeleteMads, Purple Haze is perfect! I say let's quote Jimi Hendrix any chance we get.
Hernan is actually amazing. He's juggling two rather, er, demanding women at the same time, in front of each other no less!
ReplyDeleteEJ, maybe Zully isn't so random. No spoiler here, just guessing. She seems to have an agenda but what it is remains a mystery at present.
Herny reminds me that one teen guy who always hung around the pool whose mission was to throw the girls into the pool. I am looking at you, Freddy G. I really love that pool , but I no longer picture myself doing laps in it ever since the guy was doing the dead man's float in there a few episodes ago. Who took care of that body, and did they drain and refill the pool before Herny's pool party? I think not. Does Herny have a pool boy in his employ ?
ReplyDeleteCap'n
ReplyDeleteI am with you I don't think Zully is random either. That's one thing about this TN no random characters.
Question : if you already have a character named Ursulla, why would you name another characters Sully ? Confusing, no ? So now we have Ursullied and AlsoSullied. Herny really attracts the hos. Ipad has tried to change "hos" in several different ways..his...hits...ho's...no, Ipad, I said hos.
ReplyDeleteWhen I see the name Sully, I think of Dr. Quinn's hot frontier boytoy Sully.
Sisanlynn = Susanlynn's evil twin...or maybe SHE is the good twin..bwahahahaha
ReplyDeletebtw, last night on T-mundo, they advertised a re-run of La Reina del Sur in Nov, and they showed clips with Iván Sánchez.
ReplyDeleteomg, speaking of him and WL, I just remembered to mention this ... I saw Kate del Castillo, and J Bracamontes in person in LV on different nights, at a concert last month during the Mexican Independence Day celebration. I sat 2rows behind KdC, and 2rows in front of JB. They are really beautiful in person (tv/print don't do them justice), softer looking, and very slim.
shallowgal, how fun that you got to see some telenovela stars up close like that.
ReplyDeleteshallowgal- Yes. LRDS will start its second run on Telemundo on Nov 11th (right in time for Uni's new tn).
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you saw Kate and Jackie. I like Jackie. She's not the greatest actress in the world, but she has a nice vibe. She seems to have retired from tns since getting married, and now having a child (one of her twins died). It would be nice to see her in tns again.
Gloria, thanks so much for the re-cap, and for filling in the blanks.
ReplyDeleteI really wish that we could see the Becky/Jose scenes. From what I read, they seem to be really good. Damn you UniScissors!
I am kind of glad that Ernie did not die. He needs to show up in RLady so he can mess up Pester's World. It seems that Ernie is the only person that truly terrifies her. Maybe he will be the one to finally bring Pester down.
And speaking of bringing Pester down, I hope it happens soon. I'm tired of her using the bebe to get what she wants.
I agree about the red sweater, and about Fully telling ShutUpRosy what she deserves. I can't stand her and her smirky smile.
I'm happy that our re-cappers let us in on the cut scenes, but I am still to pithed at Uni. I wonder if Televisa knows that Uni is doing this, and if Televisa even cares. I am hoping that when this TN is re-aired (it usually re-airs a year or two later) we get to see the full episodes.
Once again, thanks for the very informative and well thought out re-cap Gloria.
I used to teach from a speaking book that had a chapter on telenovelas. Originally telenovelas were written to have about 60 episodes. That is probably a good number for a storyline to unfold in a logical way.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see Ernasty, Pester, and Fulofhimselfio to interact . Pobrecito bebe with that awful gene pool. Let's hope nurture wins out over nature because I am sure that little Michel will end up in the loving arms of DamGoodbdad.
...and I hope that the Univision editors are running with those scissors.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSusanlynn - "running with scissor".... bwaaaahahahaha.... ojala!
ReplyDeleteVivi in DC/ Cap'n - I didn't think Jackie was that pretty in Sorti, cuz all I saw was her mouth/teeth. but in person.... gorgeous. Kate on tv looks butch and harsh to me, but not so in reality - so tiny.
Gloria Monday--A quick note to thank you immensely for including the cut scenes. It's hard to follow otherwise. Uni couldn't make it any more unpleasant for devotees. If the ratings start to drop, the tn can't be blamed.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am disappointed that the Jose & Rebecca story line is getting cut to shreds.
Gloria - Thanks a bunch!
ReplyDeleteAdiós, Macario. I guess there was no cast interview after the finale in Mexico, but I would sure like to know what they were all thinking about his *look.*
I can feel the nerfazos coming, but I suppose Univision could've not broadcast LT in the U.S. at all or air it in the daytime. At least they're showing it in the prime timeslot.
Gloria thank you for recapping a double episode.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has said what I wanted to say or thought.
Too bad Fully didn't cut out Rosy's tongue. Beyotch!!!
Gloria,
ReplyDeletei loved your dryly planted "get a leg up" comment, HA! excellent:-)
Mauricio, I loved the dumb and dumber throw overboard too! Man, that DamStrong is soooo strong! Although, they both did seem to go so smoothly and gracefully and synchronously as to make one wonder if they weren't.... helping a bit:-)
A re-run of La Reina Del Sur? whoohoo! I have never seen it, maybe this time it would be with subtitles. That would be great
Gloria, gracias gracias. What a great recap! So much happened "in the red" that I would never have known. What's with the pipe they kept showing onboard the boat. Does it have something to do with the red tube in whats'ernames house (you know Daniela Romo). Looks like a pipe with a soldered on cap, painted red. Some document is rolled up in there? Do we have to wait for "ultimos"
ReplyDeletefor this denouement? I'm guessing it has to do with Fabre père's knowledge of some malfeasance that would put our bad guys behind bars. (Sorry if this seems obvious, I've been away all summer.)
Vivi & AdrianaNoel: your comments are appreciated as I am jumping since just last week. With all the chopping and cutting, it's a challenge to make sense.
Vita, you crack me up "It amuses me how much the entire Patio wanted Bea to shut up and now we all scream, SpeakupBea!"
"...and"Poor Macaroons, he was like a tragic Arlekino and sang his aria too long. " Tony Vela plays the ultimate bad guy, but he has a winning smile.
Thanks Cap'n Sylvia about Poems of Miguel Ramos Carrión & Mauricio about Garcia Marques. I love to hate Mejia, but he does toss in some pretty great cultural references. All that Hernan music is not for nuthin'
And thanks for the heads up about La Reina Del Sur. I'd love to see it.
Just finished reading ALL the comments. What a talented and interesting group. Glad to be here.
—Agnes in NJ
Tks Gloria
ReplyDeletePls bury that dead thing on Macarios head along with him, never to be seen again on man nor beast.
I think I am glad this is ending. It will definitely disintegrate & we don't have to suffer for 150 episodes. Meanwhile CI keeps going & going & going.
Tony Vela is very cute, he was a Chippendale type dancer at one time.
ReplyDeleteAgnes- It's so good to see you on the blog again. As you can tell, I'm on vacation this month because I'm all over Caray Cary today. :)
ReplyDelete@Vivi: I was wondering how you managed to spread yourself so thin. Glad to be back. Glad to meet new folks.Glad to see old friends. I'm sticking with the 9PM slot come what may. That 10-o'clock was killing me all last year (Cielos). I'm too old for this. But I may switch to Telemundo if Uni keeps up this crap. Esp if there will be no hope of a William Levy sighting on Uni.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love your new avatar.
Thank you ladies and gents for the kind words. I enjoy hanging out on a patio with all of you. I laugh at my stressful work, thanks to recaps and comments.
