La Tempestad Cap #72. 11.5.13. We May Look Alike, We May Sound Alike, But Only One Of Us Got The Brains. Can You Guess Who?

We had a two episode combo tonight. Ep #103 and #104 were combined into one. 

Say it with me please: Damn you, Uni. Now breathe in breathe out. 

Cut scenes in this color. 

On to the recap....

R-Laydee
Drop The BedSpread. Drop The BedSpread.

DamFab has been drugged, undressed, and sexually molested by Pester. He awakens only to find himself DamNaked in bed with an equally naked Pester. He's DamHorrified. Quickly jumping out of bed he wraps the bedspread over his DamFineBod. ***Some voices can be heard saying: Drop the bedspread. Drop the bedspread*** But alas the bedspread is not dropped. Rats. He demands to know what the hell happened. Pester tells him they had the night of passion he asked for. DamFab refuses to believe this. He'd never in a million years ask her for a night of passion. He recalls the previous nights events and feeling DamDizzy after dinner. He asks her what the hell she put in the wine. She denies spiking the wine. She insists their night of passion happened because they both wanted it. 

Mexico City
Our Ex-PeggedLegged Ernesto is on the phone sans voice distortion device. He says: "It is Ernesto Contreras. It is no joke. You know my voice." 

R-Laydee 
DamHasHisPantsOn is now wearing pants. He must have put them on while we were in Mexico City. Damn you, Mejia. DamFab tells Pester he loathes her. He refuses to believe anything happened between them. She tells him if she wound up pregnant when they did the deed on the night of her coronation then she could very well wind up pregnant again. Foreshadowing? Please say it ain't so. He puts on his double shirt and leaves the room. 

Mexico City 
Ernesto asks whoever he is speaking with to set up an organization meeting. Everyone must be present for the surprise he'll give them. 

R-Laydee 
Pester looks over the dirty selfies she took and tells herself: "Oh Marina. Your dreams of love have just become a nightmare." 

Mercedes insists on being close to her twins. The twins want Mercedes to give them time and space to get know each other without her intervening. Mercedes agrees to give her twins the time and space they need. 

Oso continues to make Rebeca uncomfortable with his lovey dovey talk to her. He asked her to come with him to the shipyard inauguration but she can't because she has to take care of Bea. He understands. He calls her "mi amor" and kisses her on the forehead. She thinks her little game of making Jose jealous has gone too far. Jose watches on from the background and chuckles. 

Ad scene brought to you by Saladitas. We can tell it is an ad because the Saladitas are right in front of the camera. I'll spare you what was said because it is pointless. 

Bagre wants to talk business with DamFab. They end up talking about the Pester problem instead. DamFab tells Bagre he was sexually molested by Pester. Ok, he doesn't really say he was sexually molested but we know he was. Instead he tells Bagre what happened with Pester the previous night and how he believes Pester spiked his drink. He tells Bagre he has a DamCleanConscience and is sure nothing happened between him and Pester. He'll have a talk with Marina before Pester spews her venom against him. 

Pester tells Hernan she has the incriminating selfies photos of her and DamNaked. He tells her they will use the photos when the time is right. 

The twins are with Bea. Magda tells Marina she met Bea in rehab. "So my mother already knew..." says Marina. "Oh the secrets I've had to keep to prevent you from suffering..." Bea thoughtbubbles. Marina won't reproach Bea for keeping the secret. Marina knows Bea kept the secret hidden for her (Marina's) wellbeing. Bea thoughtbubbles about how noble Marina is and how because of that nobility she asks her to please accept Mercedes. Marina and Magda lay down with Bea. Bea thoughtbubbles about how nice the twins are. The twins only need to realize the love Mercedes has for them. 

Guerrero tells DamFab all about Zully - how she was working undercover for them and disappeared. He shows DamFab a photo of Zully. DamCop recalls helping Zully pick up some photos of documents. DamCop will ask Ursula about Zully. Guerrero tells DamCop to be as subtle as possible with Ursula. Ursula is suspected of being Hernan's accomplice. He confiscated a gun from her. DamCop tells Guerrero the gun is used for protection. Ursula suffered an attempted rape recently. Guerrero tells DamCop not to trust Ursula. DamCop thinks what is important now is locating Zully. Guerrero adds finding the photos is important too. With those photos Hernan will be locked up for the rest of his days. 

Hernan is given yet another spiked OJ. He's all smiles because things have gone his way. Marina is more vulnerable each day and closer to him. Ursula won't let Hernan leave her side. Hernan and Ursula talk about their murderous plan for Rebeca. It is all set. Ursula will take Rebeca horseback riding. Ursula has prepared the wildest horse for Rebeca. Hernan wants Rebeca to disappear. 

Marcelino recalls Zully's murder. 

Zully's cellphone rings near the place where she was buried. 

It is Robles who called Zully. He's worried about her. He hopes Hernan didn't kill her. 

Pester is annoyed with Baby Michel's crying. She gives him some drops prescribed by Doc Suspenders. She gives the baby 10 drops knowing very well the dangers of giving the baby more than 4 drops. Consuelo watches from the door. 

Ursula convinces Rebeca to go horseback riding with her. Ursula meets Magda. 

A lovey dovey moment with Candy and Lolo. He invites her to the shipyard inauguration. She'll be there.


Take a look at my orange pants

Mr. Orange Pants aka Hernan shows up at the packing plant where Mercedes is sitting at the desk getting some work done. Hernan laments her secret is out in the open but tells her that at least now she'll live a calmer life. Mercedes grills him with the million dollar question: "Why did you take Marina to the same place Damian and Magda were at? What did you want? For Marina to get jealous?" 

DamHonest wants to talk to Marina about what happened with Pester. He tells Marina they have something DamImportant to talk about. "Yes we do have a lot of DamImportant things to talk about. For starters why did you kiss my sister?" asks Marina. DamConfused explains he thought Magda was her. DamFab doesn't want there to be distrust in their relationship. Marina doesn't either but it drives her crazy to know he kissed her sister. Well, he did not know she had a twin sister.... 

Hernan laughs and denies causing the big meeting with the twins on purpose. He says it was all a coincidence. Mercedes will have to accept what Hernan tells her since she can't prove otherwise. Hernan tells Mercedes he wanted to talk. Hernan wants to recover the investment he made in packing plant as soon as possible. Preferably today. 

Marina agrees it is absurd to be jealous over the kiss after all everyone was confused with the whole twin thing. DamFab is glad she understands because it makes him feel sure that she'll understand what he has to tell her. "Last night..." he begins but is interrupted by Magda. Magda has not forgotten all DamFab did for her. His words encouraged her to meet Marina. 

Pester is all smiles the drops did their trick and made her son sleep. 

DamFab doesn't get a chance to tell Marina what happened. He'll talk to her later. He invites Magda to the inauguration of the shipyard. 

Hernan laments having to ask for his investment back but he needs it. Mercedes can't repay him now since her funds have been distributed among other investments. 

Magda tells Marina about the hell she lived since Ernesto kidnapped her. She was out on the streets without a place to sleep or anything to eat. 

DamSickAndTired is sick and tired. ***Voices Can Be Heard Saying: We Are Too DamFab*** He's come to tell Pester for the 25,000 time that nothing between them will change. He made a DamMistake in marrying her to save her reputation. He tells her does not love her. He tells her that nothing she does will ever work. "We'll see about that when you see the little surprise I have prepared for you..." says Pester when DamFab has left the room. 

Marina laments all Magda has been through. She admires Magda's strength. Magda realizes all she went through made her stronger. Marina thinks Magda's strength is a front. What Magda needs is to be loved and protected. Magda can always count on Marina. It doesn't  matter that they weren't raised together. They'll learn to love each other like sisters. Magda tells Marina she wants them to always be sincere with each other. Marina likes this whole sincerity thing because it means she can ask Magda the million dollar question. What is the million dollar question you ask? Well... Marina asks: "Are you interested in DamFab?" Magda is not interested in DamFab at all. Although Magda admits DamFab won her trust when she met him. He's the kind of man who makes you feel DamSecure and DamProtected. ***Voices Can Be Heard Saying: He Makes You Feel Many More DamThings***
Magda tells Marina she sees DamFab as a friend only. Magda assures Marina that DamFab loves her (Marina). Magda accepts the kiss was her fault. "He immediately knew that I wasn't you", says Magda. "Yeah thats what he told me", says Marina. "You should believe him", says Magda. Magda tells Marina she's already in love with a man who was the first one to make her feel. He taught Magda many things. The most important thing being that there is a motive for living. Marina wants to meet this man but Magda tells her that there can't be anything between him and her. Magda will tell Marina all about this later. Marina doesn't want Magda to give up. Marina tells Magda to fight for her man if she loves him. ***Voices Can Be Heard Saying: Oh if only you could take your own advice too, Marina****

Despite the orange pants, Hernan is able to pressure Mercedes into handing him over her 55% share of the packing plant as a repayment for his investment. 

[Come on Mercedes! Those orange pants would have been enough to let you know you can't take him seriously]

Once Mercedes recovers financially they'll sit down and talk about Mercedes getting the packing plant back. Mercedes will talk to Marina so she can leave her position at the packing plant. Hernan tells her it is not necessary because if Marina leaves he won't be able to harass her at work. It is not necessary because Marina is a key piece of the packing plant. Hernan wants to keep the whole thing a secret but Mercedes refuses to keep it a secret. She has learned her lesson about secrets. She'll tell her daughters she lost the packing plant.


I smell a bitch 

At the inauguration, everyone is there - crew, crew's gals, Marina, Mercedes, DamFab, and Magda. When Magda enters everyone stares. Claudio gives his speech. He introduces DamFab as his right hand man and friend. Applauses all around. Pester crashes the inauguration and calls DamFab "mi amor". Reactions all around. Magda gives Pester the stinkeye because she knows a bitch when she sees one. DamFab gives his DamSpeech. I'll spare the DamSpeech except for the part where DamFab promises everyone the shipyard will be the best one of The Gulf of Mexico and the pride of all of Veracruz. Applauses all around. 

Rebeca reads to Bea. Rebeca believes their life will be a little more calm now...yeah right. She hopes things get better now that Marina knows the truth of her origin. Bea is glad Marina decided to be with DamFab. 

Claudio thanks Mercedes for coming to the inauguration. She was not going to come due to the problem with her twins but she decided to come anyway for him. She congratulates him and tells him she is proud of him.


Yet another Pester forced kiss 

Pester pesters DamFab and plants a big old kiss on his DamLusciousLips. Marina yet again witnesses the kiss as does everyone else who matters. Sorry extras you don't count. 

Fulgencio receives a call from Galvan telling him about the organization meeting. Fulgencio wonders: "Why would Galvan set up a meeting and not Hernan?" 

Galvan calls up Hernan and tells him about the meeting. Hernan is pissed because he did not authorize a meeting. Hernan is told not to miss the meeting because umm well there will be something there of his interest. Galvan hangs up on Hernan. Hernan is pissed. Hernan tells Ursula to continue with their murderous plan against Rebeca. Ursula tells Hernan that today will be Rebeca's last day. 

Pester has forced a DamKiss on DamDidn'tWantToBeKissed. DamPissed is pissed. He wants Pester to leave him the hell alone. He realizes Marina witnessed the kiss. Marina and Magda are leaving. DamFab goes after Marina. He explains he did not provoke the kiss. Marina thinks it has become a hobby of his to kiss other women without it being his DamFault. Magda tells Marina not to be so darn stubborn. "We all saw how Pester forced the kissed on him", says Magda. Marina says either way Pester is his wife and it should be her who should be by his side. Marina wants to leave. DamFab wants to tell Marina something before someone else does. He's about to talk but is interrupted yet again by Magda who saw Mercedes approaching them and leaves. Marina leaves too. The twins do not want to talk to Mercedes. Mercedes is upset over her twins leaving upon seeing her. Mercedes leaves. Claudio laments Mercedes' suffering. He notes DamFab has problems too. DamFab will tell Claudio all about his DamProblems. 

DamFab tells Claudio all about the events from the previous night. Claudio says it was all a trap. DamFab wants to speak with Marina before another person spews their venom. Claudio understand but knows Marina is wounded over the whole Mercedes situation. "Who knows how she'd react", says Claudio. DamFab knows this but doesn't want Marina to feel like he cheated on her. "The good thing is you are a DamHonest person who always speaks with the truth.." says Claudio. DamThankful thanks Claudio for hearing him out. He feels he can pour his heart out to Claudio like he would have done with his dad. Claudio takes off his glasses to show us how touched he is by DamFab's words and tells DamFab "Oh what I'd give to have a son like you..." Awww.


We must walk this way to do the whole twin camera trick 

Marina and Magda walk opposite each other because the same actress is playing a dual role. Marina whines about Pester doing everything to separate her from DamFab. Magda tells Marina not to let Pester's crap affect her. Magda tells Marina if she does not react and put a stop to Pester then Pester will always do what she wants. Magda tells Marina: "You are pregnant with DamFab's child and have rights as a woman and mother". Marina tells Magda she wants her baby to be a girl. "Can you imagine a girl that looks just like us?" asks Marina. [If it is a girl I'm sure hoping she gets Magda's strength and her brains because Marina is totally lacking those two things] 

JazLu and Abigail are mingling at the local market. Fulgencio spots them and doesn't want JazLu to know he knows Abigail. Abigail tells JazLu she's in town after a man. He's skinny and tall just the way Abigail likes them. JazLu hope things go well for her since things did not go so well in the love department for herself. Abigail hopes things in the love department go well for her (Abigail). 

Crew and their gals badmouth Pester. Lazaro who also was sexually molested by an unscrupulous women says he's the one who can understand DamMolested the most since he too lost his chance of happiness thanks to another women. Lolo jokes around a bit and says it is not the same because Lazaro lost his happiness with JazLu because he behaved like a manwhore. Lazaro gets pissed and says he ain't no manwhore. Crew calms the young manwhore down. They agree to talk to DamFab and let him know they are there for him. Aww. 

Yet another confrontation between DamFab and Pester. DamSickAndTired is sick and tired and will do whatever he has to do to win custody of his son. He picks up his son and takes him to his room. Pester picks up her cellphone with the dirty selfies pics and says "We'll see about that..." 

Mercedes looks at the Familia Reverte portrait and cries over losing the packing plant. The twins arrive. Mercedes tells them she handed over her shares of the packing plant to Hernan. Marina hopes the decision had nothing to do with her. Mercedes assures Marina the decision had nothing to do with her. It was important to Hernan to end their partnership and her only alternative was to hand over the packing plant to him. Magda thanks Mercedes for being honest. Marina asks Mercedes what she plans on doing. Mercedes says she'll go back to the city to give them the time they asked for. Mercedes hopes they can forgive her for losing part of their patrimony. She asks for their blessing. Marina gives it to her but Magda is cold with Mercedes. Magda ends up giving Mercedes the blessing she asked for. 

DamFab finds out about drops from Consuelo. He notices the drops were recently prescribed and the bottle is halfway empty. 

Ursula tampers with the horse Rebeca will be riding. Rebeca gets on the horse. 

Marina tells Jose that Rebeca went horseback riding with Ursula. Jose doesn't like that Rebeca is with Ursula. He doesn't trust Ursula. 

Rebeca and Ursula have a horseback riding race. 

"What the hell do you plan on doing to our son?" DamFab asks Pester. DamFab mentions the drops. They are interrupted by Magda who has come to see Baby Michel. Magda holds Baby Michel and disses Pester by ignoring her. Pester is about to leave. DamFab grabs her by the arm and tells her they have to talk about their son. He wants to see her home by the time he comes back. 

The race continues. Rebeca falls off her horse and bumps her head on a rock. 

Hernan has ditched the orange pants. Thank goodness because wearing the orange pants to the big meeting would have been a big no no. He assures everyone all is in order. He hopes Galvan had good reasons for setting up this meeting. Fulgencio makes wisecracks about Hernan losing control. Fulgencio always knew the position was too big for Hernan. Hernan tells Fulgencio he is mistaken. He'll remain the Big Boss whether they like it or not. Enter Galvan. Hernan asks him why the hell he set up this meeting. Galvan responds: "You'll know soon enough..."

Ursula looks over an unconscious Rebeca and says "one less enemy..."

Ursula says it was torture pretending to be Rebeca's friend when in reality she loathed her. Rebeca is still alive and kicking. Yay! But wait a minute Ursula plans on finishing the job. How? Well Ursula grabs a big old rock and is about whack Rebeca on the head with it to finish her off. 

Ernesto makes his grand entrance at the organization meeting. Reactions all around.

DamFab wants to talk to Marina. He's nervous and doesn't know how to tell Marina what happened. DamFab is about to talk when who should walk into the house but Pester. Pester asks DamFab if he'll tell Marina what happened between them the night before.

Ernesto tells the organization men he faked his death. His funeral was a fraud to get the Feds off his back. Fulgencio says this proves why you deserve to be the Big Boss. Ernesto assures them there is no one more powerful and intelligent than him. He thinks it is fair Hernan took his place. He did prepare him for the position after all. Fulgencio brings up how Hernan as the Big Boss was failure. They lost power and money with Hernan as the Big Boss. Ernesto says they'll talk about that in a moment. He tells them he came back more powerful. He wants their organization to be the most powerful one again. If he called the meeting it was to tell them he's taking his place back. Hernan gives Ernesto his place back. Ernesto tells Hernan he'll be by his side. Ernesto wants the 411 of what has been done in his absence. 


Super Jose With The Manly Muscular Arms To The Rescue

Does Ursula finish the job? She doesn't because our beloved Jose shows up. Ursula pretends to be worried about Rebeca. Jose picks up Rebeca in his manly muscular arms and carries her over to the car. He'll take her to the hospital. 


Take a look at my dirty selfies! 

Pester tells Marina about her night of passion with DamFab. Pester has proof: she whips out her cellphone and shows Marina the dirty selfies she took. DamFab thinks Pester is sick. DamFab denies having done the deed with Pester. He admits he had dinner with Pester to ease tension between them for his son's sake. He's sure Pester spiked his drink because he does not remember a thing after dinner. He accepts he woke up next to Pester but is sure nothing happened. Pester continues spewing her venom. DamFab asks Pester to shut it. Marina wants Pester and DamFab out of her house. Pester says DamFab asked for the night of passion. DamFab says he never asked her for anything. He is DamDisgusted by her. He tells Marina he wanted to talk to her before Pester came over to spew her venom. He kicks Pester out. Marina kicks them both out. She doesn't want to continue hearing them. She wants to be alone. Pester leaves. DamFab asks Marina to trust him. Marina asks DamFab to leave. She wants to be alone. She doesn't want to see him. 

Ernesto gets the 411 on the happenings of the organization during his absence and sees Fulgencio was right about Hernan not really do anything during his absence. Hernan explains he did not think it was prudent to do anything after the police raid on Ernesto. Ernesto thinks either way Hernan should have come up with a way to continue with their business. But they'll talk about that later. Ernesto says he thought a lot of things during his absence including that someone might betray him and fortunately he sees no one did. Fully says he's incapable of betraying him especially since there is some much uniting them. 

DamFab confronts Pester over the photos and also over the drops. He has the doctors prescription with the date on it and the bottle of drops halfway empty. He also has a witness. With all that he'll fight for custody of his son. He's really DamPissed at Pester. Pester is sure Consuelo ratted her out. 

Marina tells Magda that Pester and DamFab spent the night together. "He says it was all a trap but I don't know what to believe..." says Marina. Magda knows Pester is a bitch and reminds Marina how Pester forced a DamKiss on his DamLusciousLips. Marina tells Magda that Pester has photos of her with DamNaked in bed. Magda believes DamFab. "How can you be so sure?" asks Marina. "Because since I met DamFab he has always told me how much he loves you. You can tell he's a man who does not lie. He's a man who keeps his word and only has one love - you" says Magda. Magda tells Marina it is all a Pester trap. "But what about the photos?" asks Marina. "Oh Marina, let me show you the old photo trick..." says Magda.

Ernesto tells Hernan he'll be his successor when his death occurs for real. Of course before that happens others can die. Dun Dun Dun. 

Pester grabs Consuelo by the hair and yells at her. She kicks Consuelo out of her house. 

Magda shows Marina the old photo trick. Magda asks Marina not to fall in The Pester Trap.

DamFab has come for his son. While he fights for his son's custody the baby will be in the care of Delfina. Pester can visit him if she loves him like she says. But the baby won't be left alone with her. Pester says she didn't do the whole drop thing on purpose. "It is also your fault because of what you do to me.." says Pester. "What do I do? Be DamHonest? Tell you I don't love you?" asks DamFab. From now on the baby will be with Delfina and will only come back home when he's at home and can take care of him. If Pester gets a headache from the baby then he gets a DamBoneache from having to deal with her. 

Ernesto warns everyone they can't let anyone know he's alive and kicking even if it is with a prosthetic leg. He tells them they'll meet his male secretary soon. 

DamFab has told Delfina about the drops. Delfina is disappointed in Pester. Pester cries her crocodile tears. DamFab isn't buying Pester's act. Delfina tells DamFab not to worry. She'll take care of the baby. Pester tells them they'll pay for this and leaves. DamFab tells Delfina that Marina's twin sister Magda will take care of the baby somedays. DamFab doesn't want Pester to know Magda will take care of the baby. Delfina will keep mum. 

Fulgencio will have a more important part in the organization. Fulgencio tells Ernesto he is there for him. Ernesto knows how to reward his loyalty. Ernesto knows Fulgencio is  Pester's dad and his son's grandpa. They'll have a long conversation soon. 

Rebeca is alright minus the bump on her head and a twisted foot. Ursula tells Magda and Marina what happened. Jose jokes around about Rebeca being hard headed when Rebeca mentions having a hard head. Jose carries Rebeca to her room in his manly muscular arms. Ursula leaves. Marina and Magda talk about Jose and Rebeca being in love. DamFab arrives wanting to speak with Marina. 

Ernesto will give Hernan another chance to show him he has not betrayed him. He asks Hernan to kidnap his son and bring him back to him. His heir must be with him. Hernan will kidnap the baby. 

Marina tells DamFab she should stay mad at him but it would be like letting Pester know she won. He asks if it means she forgives him. She tells him she has nothing to forgive him. Jealously and how things went down made her react the way she did. Fortunately Magda made her see reason. Marina can tell Pester is still looking for ways to separate them. He tells her they shouldn't let Pester separate them. Their love is stronger than that. Marina agrees. She knows what keeps him with Pester is his son. He wanted to talk to her about that. He plans of fighting for his son's custody. He wants to show that Pester is a bad mother and that his son is at risk by her side. He has a witness and proof that will help him. He wants to form that family he always wanted to have to with Marina. The two lovebirds embrace. 

AVANCES: LT ends November 15th; Baby is taken by Ursula; Feds raid on Ernesto; DamCop pulls a gun on Ernesto.

Recap is up everyone! Enjoy! :)

I believe Magda has the brains. I'm sure Marina would have stayed mad at DamInnocent had it not been for Magda making her see reason.

Oh Marina. You get mad at DamFab over two kisses that were not his fault while you let Hernan get all up in your personal space all the freaking time. Don't get me started on all the times you have accepted to go out to dinner with him. ShutUpMarina.

Mauricio, I'm not watching La Tempestad, but I wanted to come here to THANK YOU for that picture of DamDelicious - made my day!
Good recapping decision! :)

As always, thank you Mauricio for your DamComprehensive recap. Thank you for doing double duty.
I totally agree that the orange pants shouldn't have been taken seriously.
Thank goodness that Magdalena has the street savvy and common sense that Marina lacks. I'm so glad that she didn't buy Pester's crap and I loved when she ignored Pester at Pester's house. She made Pester a "non factor" which she is. Madga made sense to Marina of Pester's madness.
 

Great recap, Mauricio. Very funny all the way through. You turned the TN into one of those cult films you watch at the local theatre at midnight where everyone stands up and comments during the film
Loved:
***Voices Can Be Heard Saying: He Makes You Feel Many More DamThings***
***Voices Can Be Heard Saying: Oh if only you could take your own advice too, Marina****(boy is that true!)
***Voices Can Be Heard Saying: We Are Too DamFab***
and "What is the million dollar question you ask? "
ITA-Magda does seem a wee bit smarter than Marina, but maybe the pregnancy hormones are affecting her. How long has she been pregnant? She doesn't show and doesn't have morning sickness.
If only we could get Magda to come to every TN and explain the "photo trick" to the protagonista who invariably falls for this!

and Loved your headings for your apopros photos. "I smell a bi#ch" Yep. Mag has bayatch radar.

BTW, orange pants is what they put on confused and agitated patients in the hospital to help find them in case they should run away. So when I see orange pants I think "oh, there is a confused one watch out for him"

Loved your manwhore conversation. Wish they'd played that.

OK PATIO, help me here: Does anyone else think that "tampering with a horse" is an unlikely way to kill someone? TN writers, you bozos, Horses do not equal cars! And how do you plant a rock exactly where someone's head will land??
I wonder why Ernesto didn't just ask Fully to bring around his kid to him himself? And hopefully Pester, too.
 

Does anyone know how many capitulettes left, and about what percentage of time they'll have to cut to squeeze everything in before November 15th?

Those missed scenes were especially important this time, thanks, Mauricio for suffering through and writing them for us! I couldn't figure out those drops and the baby; and I wondered how Fully knew Ernie knew that Fully knew that Ernie knew who Pester was.
 

Mauricio, this was absolutely incredible. You consistently raise the bar with each of your successive recaps. I was riveted.

Let me join Adriana Noel in praising the amazing picture of Dam which was just drool worthy. All of your pictures were fantastic but I lingered on that one just a tad longer.

Too many excllent lines to quote them all but "He'll have a talk with Marina before Pester spews her venom against him", "***Voices Can Be Heard Saying: He Makes You Feel Many More DamThings***" and "[Come on Mercedes! Those orange pants would have been enough to let you know you can't take him seriously]" were top on my list.

I wholeheartedly endorse your feelings about Mags. She is rapidly becoming one of my favorite characters - beauty, honesty and brains. "Street smart" indeed Tablet Jefa. I was wondering though how she knew the "old photo tricks?" An indication that Mags must have had experiences outside her life in the sewer. Poor thing.

Karen alluded the other day to the fact Becky was in danger but I wasn't sure if I missed a pivotal event to make this occur? Is it just that Hernan didn't like her or did something else happen? Shame on Uni for cutting out Jose's rescue scene. It appears Ursula has really taken to her new career, serial killer in the making.

Glad Dam found the drops and took charge. That baby is just adorable to the point I hardly notice Dam is even in the scene. Now, that's some baby.

Surprised and disappointed Hernan did not look particularly scared when Ernesto showed up. Let his complacency be his undoing.

Hope we get to see Ernesto showing up at Ester's. That's a scene I hope we don't miss.

Emarie: "BTW, orange pants is what they put on confused and agitated patients in the hospital to help find them in case they should run away." HA!

Mauricio, your screen shots and recap made my day. Sensational.

Diana
 

Thanks, Mauricio! for another snappy , clever recap. Add me to the list of those he enjoyed that photo of DamDrapped. It really woke me up, and I haven't had my cup of coffee yet.

Does anyone else feel like Ernasty looks like The Count on Sesame Street ? ONE! one runaway wife. ya-HA-HA. TWO! Two arch enemies..ya-HA-HA

I agree that Mag has street smarts that Mar does not. Not to mention common sense. It's hard to shake up someone who grew up on the streets...and in the sewers. I can almost read her mind as she is dealing with people..."Really? Really?...you think I care ? nothing fazes me . I used to sleep in the sewer. everything else seems like small potatoes to me." She could be a valuable ally. The only pregnancy symptom that I have noticed in Marina is a sleepy, spaced out look. I remember having that look during all three of my pregnancies. I think Mar 's look is actually supposed to reflect her ennui caused by her burden of problems, but pregnancy also makes you look tired and out of it.
 

Ah natty Claudio and his cravat and vest. He stirs memories of one of our favorite characters in AV who was also very fond of the neck scarves.

Sorry, Pester is a teeny, tiny girl, but she manages to grab Damdocile and get him into a lip lock over and over again. Que??? I am starting to get a little suspicious myself. What is it with these big galans who get force kissed by itty, itty bad girls ?

Thanks, Mauricio for giving us the great pic of Jose rescuing Becky...even though I know she should not have been picked up. Hub is also a rescuer. Last weekend , a lady fell at a restaurant we were at with friends, and hub leaped up to help. My friend kept saying to me "I hope he does not pick her up., Luckily, he didn't. An ambulance was called. However, last year, he helped up a waitress who fell carrying a big tray and at the beach , he helped a lady who couldn't get up out if the surf. I keep saying the words "lawsuit " to him, but he does not seem to hear me.
 

Mauricio:

This whole recap was DamMagnificent! Thanks so much for all the missing parts and all the pictures. They are marvelous!

ITA that Magda has the brains. I can't believe after all this time Marina is still buying Pester's obvious crap! Really??? I'm glad Magda showed Marina the "pic trick" and believes in DamFine. Pester has finally met her match. Yay!

I had to laugh when Perv entered the room and Herny just about had a hissy fit. I think if he had, Perv would have dispatched him in a second.

Susanlynn: You are so right about the Perv, he does look like the Count, bwhhhhaaaaa.

I too like Claudio's ascots, they so fit him, better than Johann/Carlos from AV, lol.

Poor Jaz/Lu has no idea she is consorting with the enemy.

I am so glad that Jose rescued Becks. How could they not show that scene? Dam Uni!

Didn't like it that Mercy caved and basically gave Herny, Neptuno. Hopefully she has some kind of backup plan to get it back. He'll use that packing plant for nefarious things.

Oh, gag, if Pester pulls the pregnancy card. Not again!!!!

Can't wait for tonight when the Perv and DamJustified come face to face.
 

Thank you everyone for your comments.

Diana -- I think for Hernan it was the last straw when Becky kicked him out after he insisted on staying with Marina. That led him to decide to off her.

Uni did cut a lot of important scenes. Hence, why I decided to start this recap with Damn You, Uni! The USA viewers not visiting this blog must be so DamConfused about what is going on.
 

"Drop_The_Bedspread"——"DamHasHisPantsOn is now wearing pants. He must have put them on while we were in Mexico City. Damn you, Mejia."
I cracked up over this.

and "He's the kind of man who makes you feel DamSecure and DamProtected. ***Voices Can Be Heard Saying: He Makes You Feel Many More DamThings***" I'm sure going to miss our DamFab when this is over. It's going way too fast for me.

Wow, Uni stole a lot of important action from last night's mish-mash. About the baby gotas and the plan to unhorse Becky & the Consuelo hair-pulling. Maddening to have to find out this stuff the next morning thanks to the generous efforts of Mauricio. Thanks for another brilliant recap!

Emarie -- Thanks for the info on the orange pants. Hernan has quite the colored pants collection. I'd be afraid to look in his closet.
 

Thank you, Mauricio, for the fabulous recap! The title is fantastic, and I couldn't agree more that Magda is the one with the brains. It continually irritates me that Marina is so quick to not believe Damian when it comes to Pester.

As for the cell phone trick, I cannot believe Marina couldn't figure that one out. So Magda in her life on the street was better able to comprehend how this took place than Marina who we would imagine might be somewhat tech savvy given her work experience!

Thanks too for the left-out scenes. The one with Jose and Rebecca is too important to leave out, but they did, and thanks to you I'm not thinking Rebecca's gone.

Love the screen shots as well!


 


"Say it with me please: Damn you, Uni. Now breathe in breathe out."

Excellent advice Mauricio. Can't believe this is ending in a couple of weeks. But bless you and all the recappers for giving us the full 411 so we can understand what's going on.

Loved your riff on dropping the sheet and your annoyance with the cover-up. Although we DID have a DamFineTorso to admire so I'm not complaining.

Will have to try and watch this on the computer later to see the scene where Magdalena ignores Estercita. I'm definitely like Mags more than whiny Marina!
 

OK Mauricio, you were totally on a roll with this recap. Drop The BedSpread...Bwahahaaaaa! No kidding, I was yelling that at the screen. And he aaaaaaalmost dropped it. It was ridin' low but...darn.

Thank you for all the screen shots, especially the one of His DamHotness. What a lovely bod to spy first thing in the morning.

I like all your "voices heard" observations. Every single one made me laugh.

"Dirtie Selfies", you're killing me here. And "despite the orange pants", again I die.

But this sentence, delivered in classic Mauricio deadpan style is especially hilarious: Ernesto warns everyone that they can't let anyone know he's alive and kicking even if it is with a prosthetic leg.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I can't believe what they cut out! I'm breathing in; I'm breathing out.

Thank you Thank you Mauricio! This recap is a wonderful and thank goodness you included the deleted scenes, otherwise we would all be lost.
 

I just checked the ratings for this TN on http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/tag/la-tempestad-ratings and according to them we have gained two points in viewership, 3.2 million peeps are watching this. I wonder how many lurkers we have here on Caray, Caray? If I were a newbie watching TNs I would be mightily confused by what UNI is showing. Hmmmmm.....just thoughts to ponder.
 

Mads, it does seem like we have a few more new commenters lately. I hope all those confused fans have found our recaps so the story can make a bit more sense.

Mauricio, your recap title really says it all. I'm so glad street-smart Magdalena is telling Marina that she had rights too and cleared up the "dirty selfies" issue so quickly. Thank you writers for not making us hear Marina moan and whine about this for weeks on end.
 

Great point, Cap'n Sylvia! I don't think I could take one more episode of Marina whining over the "dirty selfies"...lol
 

Mauricio - hats off to you, for this wonderful, detailed recap. After reading it, I have this sinking feeling in my stomach for the chop job Uni did with this tn. it really makes me sad. ugh. and yeah, I too wanted to see more of DamFab .... wink wink.


boy, there are already 20comments this morning. i'll have to read them later. must work for now. :(


 

This is just great, Mauricio. Thanks so much.

I have a hunch that we'll get to see Becky's rescue tonight since we have seen Uni play fast and loose with the order of pivotal scenes.

If it turns out they really omit it altogether and just have Becky show up later, inexplicably intact, well then I'll..breathe in…breathe out…and say "Business as usual, Loonyvision."
 

Gracias Mauricio

I just checked telenovela world & LT ended 10/27 at 121 chapters. Looks like they cut or combined episodes in Mex also.

I have missed quite a bit.
I know Rebeca was always suspicious of Hernán, but did sth happen that he wants to whack her or have his henchwoman do it?

I was wondering how Pester could have taken the selfies but then decided Mejia did it. I missed Mags demonstration.

Ernesto looks like he is dyeing his hair.
 

"Ernesto looks like he is dying his hair."

Actually, Variopinta, I thought he looked embalmed.
 

Variopinta - I believe Hernan's wanting to get rid of Becky has to do with her telling him to get out of Bea's room and not visit her again because Becky saw Bea's eyes....terror-filled, stink eye, te odio...


 

Thanks Mauricio!

Susanlynn and Mads, OMG...I mean I was one of the first to criticize Carlos' ascots in AV. And honestly, I was thining last night how put together Claudio was and how handsome he looked (scarf and white Nehru jacket included)! Rene Casados can pull just about anything off. We are just crazy about the actor!

Diana
 

Mauricio - Muchas gracias. My favorite snark - The "Take a look at my orange pants" caption and photo. Hilarious.

I'm annoyed at Marina too, but her hormones are running crazy, and she's getting surprises right and left. Plus DamStupid should've never had a sip of wine with Pester in the first place, knowing she's never up to any good. In FELS, they at least had to shoot Juan with horse tranquilizer to run that same game plan on him. It hurt to see DamGullible go down so easily.

Now Mags needs to set Marina straight about letting Hernan get in her personal space.

Love seeing the sisters bond. So funny when they both walked off to avoid Mercedes cause they just couldn't deal with her at that moment. But girls, is that any way to treat your long-suffering, protective mother? The look on Mercedes face was priceless.
 

I worry about Mag should Hernan find out she essentially killed his latest mis planes to separate Marina and Damian. In the past, stupid Marina would've run to him as "the best of friends" to confide her "hurt and confusion" about the latest Pester stupidity. But now she has her sister, who not only will listen to her, but she offers sound advice that annihilates his evil plans. BE CAREFUL, MARINA!
 

Oops, I meant be careful, MAGS!
 

Thanks so much for your recap Mauricio especially the missing parts. Again thank you for taking the time to watch and tell us what we missed as that is beyond what recappers have to do. And thanks for that pic!

Diana/Variopinta - as Mauricio noted, Herny get ticked that Becky told him to keep away from Bea and, more importantly, gave him the boot when he yet again invaded Marina's personal space. Marina (after learning about Mags) told him to go and he, of course, kept pushing. Good ol' Tia Becky was like dude get lost and after that he scuttled to Ursullied and told her to kill Becky.

Emarie - thanks for the info on orange pants. It so fitting for the Herny-monster.

Susanlynn - LOL, yes Ernie does look like the Count from SS.
 

Niecie: "Now Mags needs to set Marina straight about letting Hernan get in her personal space." Wouldn't that be nice? Huge sigh.

Thanks for the info Karen - thank heavens Jose arrived in the nick of time or Becky would be joining poor Zully in the hereafter. Ursula has cemented her place in hell.

Diana
 

NovelaMaven - you and I think alike... I always thought Ernesto looks "embalmed" with or w/o dye. I just couldn't find the right word. gracias.



 

I just realized I skipped a cut scene with Pester telling Hernan she had the incriminating selfies photos of her with DamNaked. He told her they'd use the photos when the time was right. Will add it to the recap right now.

As for the # of episodes left, tonight should be a combo of #105 and #106. In total there are 121 Episodes (122 actually since the finale was two hours in Mexico). This means there are 16 episodes left to be aired.
 

Hi, Mauricio:

I cannot get over how thorough you and Gloria are in your recaps. You do not miss a tick. Great work and thank you for watching multiple episodes in order to bring us this gem.

Variopinta: My memory of the Becky/ Hernan relationship is that their breaking point came after he had been alone with Bea and tortured her with words. Becky found her sister to be very agitated after Hernan's visit and asked him not to visit Beatriz again. I think (but am not sure) that this is when Hernan thought Becky had become too inconvenient and resolved to have Ursula kill her.

Enbalmed! Guffaw. Great comment NM. The actor looks hideous. His skin "looks like fine Corinthian leather". Perhaps he spent a little too much time in a tanning booth while he was recuperating in Los Angeles?

EJ


 

Shallowgal and EJ:
Great minds snark alike! [heh heh] "Fine Corinthian leather"!

A couple of random thoughts --

Wouldn't it be a fun twist if little Michel turned out to be the fruit of DamFab's loins after all?

It is remarkable how much the Patio dislikes Tragedy Queens. Could this, perhaps, account for part of the difference between Mexican and American tastes in novelas?
 

Thanks for the great recap with the restored missing pieces and photos to boot. Wow!

I originally was not a Magdelena fan, but now I thinking that reuniting the twins is one of the best things to happen recently. I smiled broadly when they excluded Mercedes from their bonding session and was not at all surprised that Mercedes the Manipulator took exception to being frozen out. How very typical of her.

I also smiled when Hernán told Mercedes that he wants to settle up right now... today... but doesn't want to take advantage of the situation. Of course he doesn't. And good for Mercedes for not agreeing to keep it from the twins.

At least with the horseback mishap, poor Marcelino won't have a cleanup to take care of.

Carlos
 

NovelaMaven: "Wouldn't it be a fun twist if little Michel turned out to be the fruit of DamFab's loins after all?" It would! Also, that babyissoDamadorable. How could he POSSIBLY be Ernesto's??

Diana

 

Work and life have kept me away from the blog the last few days. I'm just catching up on the recaps and hope to catch up on the shows, but thank you recappers SO much for all the wonderful recaps so far this week!

I'm so happy to read that Magda is bringing common sense and street smarts to her sister's life.

So, after Magda revealed that Hernan knew a while back that Marina had a twin and said nothing, Marina didn't scold him about it or wonder why the heck he kept it from her? Why did everyone else face her wrath, but he still gets to get in her personal space and touch her?!
 

Diana...I had the same thought that you had about bebe Michel. He is adorable and resembles DamCouldBetheDad. I have trouble believing that the Count could produce such a fair and beautiful offspring.
 

Mauricio, thanks for the re-cap and for adding the deleted scenes.

For a moment I thought that Tia Becky was going to be left on that field to die. I can't believe those scenes of the rescue were left out.

So happy that the twins are re-united and that Magda (and her common sense) is there to give Marina advice. I agree with everyone about Mag's street smarts. And I thoroughly enjoyed Mags going to visit bebe Michel and totally ignoring Pester. I would love to see Mags go against Pester, and finally see Pester put in her place.

I loved all the Damisms, and the 'drop the sheet' remark. Thank God they didn't delete that scene.

Once again, Thank You Mauricio!

Back to work...Hasta manana.
 

Thank you everyone for all the comments.

Jose and Becky Scenes (Minus Rebeca falling off the horse since we saw it on TV):

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x16w2st_beckjoserescue_people

Enjoy! :)
 

Thanks Mauricio! "That's what you get for being a GOLFO!" LOL!

Made even more funny by the fact that in the first episodes of this tn, the crew was all about getting Laz to lose his virginity. Now, they're calling him a ho.
 

Mauricio- Just watched your video with Jose and Becky on the stairs. Not sure what episodes it's from. Ay yay yay! That was hot! Why is Becky resisting this man???
 

Novela Maven, thank you for describing Ernesto as "embalmed". I kept trying to figure out what he reminded me of. Now I know.
 

I'm not believing in the love on Marinas Part towards DamFab. OMG couldn't we have gotten a better stronger smarter Heroine? Why is she so insecure?
 

And I'm probably the minority but I hope Estercita gets pregnant. It will make an even juicer story.
