La Tempestad, November 4, 2013. Capitulo 71.

This is actually capitulo 101 and 102.  Unseen footage in red.


DamFab calls Mercedes to tell her that Mags is in town. Mercedes doesn't want Mags and Marina to meet until she gets there.

Estercita is visiting with Delfina and Fully. Fully wonders what Marina was doing at the square. Estercita says no one knows the real Marina. She ran into her today and she seemed like a different person.

DamFab takes Mags to his house. Mags wants to know what they are doing there. I thought you were going to introduce me to Marina? DamFab wanted to meet his son first and Mags finds out that Marina is expecting. Mags is shocked. She asks if he really loves Marina. Of course, with all my heart replies DamFab. Mags hopes that one day someone will love her the same way too. She thought she found someone, Valentin, but he told her to her face that he didn't love her. DamFab says not to worry. Things will turn out the way they are suppose to.

Fully reminds Estercita that as long as they are united, things will go their way. She says Hernan received another strange phone call and he thinks Fully's behind it.

DamFab asks Mags if she wants to hold the baby. Of course, she does.

Fully thinks the calls could be anybody, even her.

Bea thought bubbles that she has to get better on her own but that no one finds out. This is the only way she can save her daughter from the monster Hernan.

Speaking of the monster aka the crazed stalker, comes looking for Marina and finds out from Becky that she isn't there. She just came to give Bea therapy and went back to work. Hernan pretends to care about Bea's well-being. Becky says that the doctor was right. The movement in her lips was just a nerve twitching. Her lips haven't moved again. Hernan wants to see Bea for a bit. He tells Becky that he has a lot of affection for Bea. Becky leaves them alone and Hernan starts telling Bea that she is a pain for Marina.

Estercita can't believe that Fully thinks she's behind it. She says Hernan is in such a bad mood and no one can tolerate him. Fully wants her to claim Ernesto's inheritance. She says Hernan thinks it would let the cat out of the bag. DamFab will know that Michel is not his. Fully says Hernan is doing things the way he wants too. We can claim the inheritance and no one would suspect a thing. Estercita is all for it.

Becky brings Hernan a coffee and notices Bea anguish. Becky asks Bea what's wrong? Bea answers with her facial expression. Hernan says it's perhaps our talk. Really asks Becky. Because her look resembles terror. What have you been telling my sister?

DamFab takes Mags to visit the town church. He's trying to stall, but she is getting tired of it. She wants to know what's going on. He says he just wanted to show her around his great town. Mags says she has a temper and doesn't want to take it out on him. She wants to see Marina. He tells her that he also has a temper and that they both will have to control it. Mags wants meet her sister. He tells her to be patient. He wants to take her to one more place. Mags doesn't want to, but he insists. He thought bubbles that Mercedes needs to hurry up.

Hernan tells Becky he can't think of anything he said to her to make her upset. Becky, the only brains in all this, asks Hernan to stop visiting.

Hernan spots DamFab and Mags walking together and thinks that Becky lied to him about Marina being at work.

Ursullied visits Fully. He confidently says he will win the major ship against Olinto. She tells him that the Feds came by and took her gun from her. Why did you let them asks Fully. I had no choice replies Ursullied. They promised to give it back once I show them the paperwork saying it's a legit gun. Fully says they have to get back the gun no matter what.

Robles finds out from the Fed that the gun was recently fired. Robles wants him to find DamFab and interview Marcelino. He was looking really nervous when they were there. Perhaps he knows something we don't know. (Umm, yeah. Like the killings of the two doofuses by the pool and non-skank Zully)

Marcelino talks to Toribio about everything that is going on in that house. Toribio (his cousin) tells him to calm down. Marcelino starts confessing some things but doesn't want to tell him anymore. If Hernan finds out, we could get into a lot of trouble. He doesn't want to be next.

Hernan goes to visit Marina at the office. He asks if she has been there awhile. Of course, she replies. Hernan puts 2 and 2 together and realize that it was Mags he saw with DamFab.

Mags is moved visiting the ocean. She tells DamFab about living out in the streets. Mags doesn't ever want to leave and DamFab says he understands. He couldn't live away from the sea. DamFab wonders where Mercedes is. Mags asks DamFab to join her in the water.

Bagre and Lagarto are flirting with the women they saved at the beach.

Mercedes walks into Bea's house looking for Marina. (doesn't anyone knock anymore?)

Mercedes tries calling DamFab. She is nervous. She doesn't want Mags and Marina to meet. Becky calls the office and finds out Marina went out with Hernan.

Hernan and Marina are visiting the aquarium. They spot DamFab and a strange lady. Mags turns around and Marina is shocked. Mags smiles and Marina is still in shock. You are identical to me says Marina. Who are you? I'm Magdalena, your twin. We are the daughters of Mercedes.

Oso tries to get the girls aunt to buy some fish. Lagarto tells her that Oso needs to send money to his family. A lot of flirting and I don't knows. Oso shows the aunt his muscles. This finally convinces her.

Jose and Mercedes are out looking for the girls.

Marina can't believe that she has a sister and no one told her. Mags looks at Hernan and says I know you. Why didn't you tell Marina that she had a sister? Marina can't believe everyone knew but her. Mags defends Mercedes. She says that she was going to tell you but you never gave her an opportunity. Marina asks DamFab what he's doing with her sister and how do you know her? DamFab says I didn't know her. I just met her today when I came up to her thinking it was you. Mags tells Marina that DamFab found out when he kissed her. DamFab's not happy that Mags let the cat out of the bag. Hernan smirking in the background.

Ursullied is anxious to get a hold of Hernan. He's not answering his phone. Doorbell rings and it's a Fed who wishes to speak with Marcelino.

Mags says it was just a simple kiss. The only reason I am telling you is that I don't want to hide anything from you. Like Mercedes did with us. Marina is still in shock that she has a sister and never thought to run into her this way. DamFab tells Marina to calm down. Marina says she will talk to Mags later after she has time to think. DamFab offers to take her home but she wants him to stay with Mags. She asks Hernan to take her back to town. Mags thinks Marina was not happy to see her. DamFab defends Marina and says she is just shocked. Give her time to process it all. Mags hoped that Marina would react differently. Now what is going to happen to me? DamFab says your mom should be in town now. Let's go find her.

Hernan promises to stay with Marina as he invades her space and kisses her cheek.

Mercedes gets a call from DamFab and finds out that her daughters have met. She tells DamFab to take Mags to Marina's house.

Marina is lying in bed with Bea and tells her how she is feeling. When are the lies and secrets going to end? Bea wishes she wasn't bed bound, but able to hold her and tell her not to be scared. Marina wants to run away, but no matter what she can't run away from having another mother and now a sister. She doesn't want to see Mercedes.

The Feds come by Hernan's asking for Zully. Marcelino says he saw her last when she said good-bye. She left because she was bored. The Fed says he notices that Marcelino is a bit nervous. Marcelino denies it. He's never talked to a Fed before and is a bit intimidated. The Fed wants to talk to him alone at another time.

Marina tells Becky that Mercedes should have told her that she had a sister. Becky tells her to be strong. Perhaps Mercedes tried to tell you but you ran off. Marina says she's so confused and stressed. Hernan says Becky is right. And your not alone. You have us all for whatever you need. Marina appreciates everything that Hernan does, but wants some time to herself to think clearly. Hernan tries to convince her to let him stay, but Becky backs up Marina and tells him to go. (Let me give you a tip buddy. When you want to stay and listen. KEEP QUIET. That way they forget your there)

I guess the boys set up a booth at the Farmer's market and are going to sell fish. The aunt comes back dancing and signing (I think she's the manager/owner of the whole thing) Anyway, she and Oso start dancing.

Ursullied informs Hernan what went down when the Fed paid them a visit. Hernan wants to get rid of him but she doesn't think its a good idea right now. Hernan reminds her that he likes people to obey him. He wants Ursullied to get rid of Becky.

Mercedes comes to talk to Marina. Marina says perhaps I don't have the right to reproach you that you didn't tell me that I had a sister. It's true that I didn't let you tell me about my sister, but there's been a lot of secrets that you have withheld. Mercedes reminds Marina that she has tried to tell her. Put yourself in my shoes now that you are going to be a mother. Try to understand. I beg you. DamFab and Mags come in and Becky is muy impactada. Marina promises to listen to Mercedes. Right now all the secrets end. (DamFab knows the art of being quiet.)

In L.A. Ernesto tells Nereo that he is loving his new leg. Nereo says he can't tell that he's one leg short. Ernesto wants to start his vengeance. Nereo informs Ernesto that he bought him the house he wanted in Mexico. Eventually Ernesto wants to buy more. He wants to sleep in a new house each night so that no one finds him. Nereo wants to know when they will return to Mexico. Immediately replies Ernesto. I want to get my son and confront my enemies.

Fully tells Jaz/Lu that the mother of his grandchild will not be living in a room at the cantina. He promised to take care of her and his grandchild. I tried to do that with Lazaro but he denied me. I will not allow you to deny me. I want the best for my grandchild.

The skank, Abigail wonders where Lazaro is. She really likes him. No matter how much he resists, he will end up being mine.

Mercedes reminds the girls that this is all difficult for her. She hopes that they will one day be a family. Marina says if that was the case you would have told us the truth in the beginning. Mags agrees with Marina and says you preferred to keep your secrets and hide the truth. Becky defends Mercedes and tells the girls not to talk to their mother like that. I feel what Mercedes is feeling. Everything she did was for you.

Mercedes says it's not easy. I can't just tell you that I'm your mother and your my daughters. Marina says when you told me that you were my mother, you should have told me I had a sister. Mags reminds her of the agreement they made. Did you not want me to meet my sister? DamFab speaks up and defends Mercedes. He thinks that they need to think about what Mercedes went through all these years without them. Mags ignores him and says Mercedes is ashamed of her and didn't want her to meet Marina. Mercedes says she wanted Marina to know of her existence before they met. Mags says after all that it was I who made the decision to find my sister. So that she would know my existence. Marina asks Mags why she dressed just like her? What was your intention?  To pass yourself off as me?

Lolo tells the boys that DamFab will not be coming to work today. They gossip about Estercita.

Mags is hurt. Mercedes tells Marina not to doubt Mags. All she has wanted to do was get close to you. DamFab leaves the room. Marina doesn't know what to think. Mags says she's many things but not a liar. I only wanted to meet you and let you know I exist. Mercedes reminds Marina that DamFab has always loved her and defended her no matter what. Marina says she confused. Merecedes asks Marina why she is punishing her? Just like destiny did when it tore them apart. Marina doesn't want to talk about it. I told you that if you kept insisting, I would quit my job. So as of now, I don't work for you. And tomorrow morning I take everything out of the office. Mercedes begs her not to quit. The packing plant is for both of you. It's your future. Marina doesn't think she wants to run it anymore now that she knows her origins. Mercedes begs again and tells her to think about it. She doesn't think that Bea would like it if she left the packing plant. I know your confused, but don't let your emotions rule you. Mags defends Marina and says she would probably feel the same way. Mercedes reminds the girls that no matter how much they deny her, she is their mother and they are her daughters. I beg you not to leave me. Mags asks Mercedes if she has any other secret. Mercedes swears she doesn't. I just want you to accept me and let us be a family. Mags says she will try. Mercedes promises to try to obtain their trust. She wants Marina to let her get close to her. Marina wants to say yes, but doesn't think she would be truthful. Things between us will never be the same again.

Ernesto sees the house that Nereo bought and he likes it. He wants Nereo to call the members of the organization discreetly and find out who's still behind him and who sold out to Hernan. Soon everyone will know that I am alive.

Hernan calls Estercita and Ursullied over.  He tells them that Marina has a twin. Now everything makes sense says Estercita. She was the one I came across in town. Hernan warns Estercita to be careful. Now DamFab could take up with Mags. The girls don't think that will happen.

DamFab is talking with baby Michel about Marina. He recalls Mags words at the beach. He tells baby Michel that he has a aunt that looks just like his mom and her name is Magdalena.

Hernan wants Estercita to drug or get DamFab drunk to get him in her bed. Ursullied reminds her to take pictures on her phone. Estercita doesn't think it will be that easy.

Someone calls Ernesto and tells him that Fully is trying to claim the inheritance.

Fully tells his attorney that Estercita's baby is really Ernesto's and they can prove it with a DNA test. After Fully gets off the phone, he says that no one can stop him from claiming the inheritance. (oh, I know one that can big guy)

Mags asks Marina if she isn't going to forgive Mercedes. Marina doesn't know if she can. She has to think things through. But she does want to get to know her. Mags doesn't believe her especially after the scene she made when she found out that she and DamFab kissed. Marina asks Mags to understand. I wasn't prepared for any of this. But you are my sister and I want to get to know you. Mags asks if she is speaking from the heart. Yes replies Marina and the sisters hold hands. I am happy to know that you exist and that I have a sister. They hug.

DamFab tells Marina not to get upset that he kissed Mags. Marina says it's really not that. First I saw you with another woman. Then I find out she's my twin. All this is like a nightmare. DamFab says he understands. There are no more secrets. You can all start a new life. Estercita takes this opportunity to come up and remind them that they cannot be together. She can still take her son with her and leave. Marina tells Estercita not to start. She will leave to avoid a scene. DamFab gets onto Estercita. If he wants to talk to the women he loves then he can. DamFab says he's not in the mood to fight with her and leaves.

The skank Abigail finds Lazaro in the streets. He tells her to leave him alone. He's still married. She just wants a chance. She can make him happy. Lazaro reminds her that he loves Jaz/Lu and Nosy Rosy is in the background soaking this all in. The skank keeps trying, but Lazaro again tells her to leave.  She says she just wanted to remind him that this will not be the last you see of me. She tries to kiss him and he backs up and leaves. Nosy Rosy thinks that the skank is docile and will be easy to manage. She says hi to the skank.

Estercita returns home and asks DamFab if he is still mad at her. DamFab says not to start with the same thing again. She says she just doesn't like Marina around him. She promised him that she would change and she will. DamFab doesn't want to talk anymore and goes to take a shower. Estercita says that she will make dinner. She recalls Hernan's words and takes her sleeping pills out. She starts crushing them and promises to make the best dinner for DamFab.

Nereo tells Ernesto that he has made inquiries and many members of the organization would still be loyal to him. How can you be sure asks Ernesto. Because I talked to them and they are sadden at your passing. Ernesto says it's time for him to rise from the dead.

Estercita puts the crushed pills in DamFab's wine glass and brings it to him. He declines, but she insists it would accompany the meal well and wants to make a toast to their son. He drinks a sip and puts the glass down. She tells him to drink more.

Nosy Rosy tells the skank that she is Lazaro's mother. She wants her to keep seeking out her son. She thinks that she would be perfect for her son. Not like the other which she hates.

DamFab is starting to get sleepy and Estercita tells him to go to bed. He tries walking but starts stumbling. Estercita helps him to his room. He tells her to leave him alone then passes out. She makes sure he's out and starts taking off his shirt. She takes her phone out of the drawer and starts undressing, gets into bed with DamFab and starts taking pictures.

The next morning, Estercita is draped all over DamFab. He wakes up with a bad headache and notices Estercita in his bed. He asks her what she is doing in his bed. Don't you remember asks Estercita. I am not in the mood for games replies DamFab. When I was helping you into bed you asked me to stay. And it was the best night of my life. You were so passionate. Like our first night.

Manana: Mags and Marina keep getting to know each other; Estercita shows Marina pictures of her and DamFab in bed.

Gloria:

Thank you so much for this fantastic, detailed recap with all the missing scenes.

I am glad the secret is out now with Marina and Mags. I am looking forward to them getting to know each other. Mercy needs to give them space now. I also liked it when Mags said she knew Herny and he looked like a fish out of water, lol.

I was surprised when Bea lifted up her hand. Yay! I am also glad she isn't telling anyone either. This way Marina can't blab to Herny. I like how Becks told him to go and not visit Bea.

Poor Marcelino. I hope he gets out of there quickly or else his days are numbered.

Those pictures Pester took are so stupid! You can tell DamOutOfIt, is out of it! I hope Marina sees thru this sham. I think if Pester had taken DamOutOfIt to her room and taken those pictures, it would have seemed like they had done it.

I wonder what is going to happen when the Perv starts his venganza. Maybe Perv will be Herny's and Pester's anvil. Hmmmmm


 

How are the scenes with the twins filmed when they are both at the same place? I mean both twins have the same actor so how is it possible for them being to able to film that?
 

Gloria thanks for your wonderful recap along with Uni-deleted scenes.

Like Mads, I'm glad the twins know one another. I kept hoping that Mercedes would some how get Vivi's script and tell the twins about Ernie messing up their lives.

I'm really concerned delusional Ursullied will harm/kill Becky. And though its a tn trope, I hated the get Dam drunk scene & aftermath. But this nonsense should be resolved by the end of the week.

I hope Ernie harasses the monster Herny and Pester first.
 

I love your summaries Gloria and this one was exceptional. You are so detailed - all of the events, actions and dialog are made crystal clear through your amazing interpretation.

Your comments always make me smile and "(doesn't anyone knock anymore?)" and "(Let me give you a tip buddy. When you want to stay and listen. KEEP QUIET. That way they forget your there)" were no exceptions.

Thank you for filling in all that we missed...

I can't believe they cut the scenes of Mags and the baby! I can only imagine how emotional that must have been. Further, omitting Becky realizing Hernan is upsetting Bea was just about unpardonable. I am surprised they left Marina and Mags' hug in - what, did someone in the cutting room fall asleep and forget to skewer that scene as well?

I know Marina was in shock but I was disappointed she was so cold to Mercedes.

Glad Becky has reverted to giving in to her initial instincts about Hernan. Even in her present state, Bea is able to express fear and luckily Becky's intuition has now taken over. Please, ban him from Bea's bedside permanently.

Madelaine, I am also very concerned for Marcellino. He should just leave before he ends up another statistic.

Damsgotalotofexplainingtodo. How is he going to justify those incriminating pictures? Karen, I couldn't believe Dam got himself in yet another predicament with the "won't take no for an answer" Ester. As Sylvia says, blech.

All this and it's the calm before the storm. Hurricane Ernesto is blowing onshore shortly. Karen, I hope he also makes a beeline for Hernan.

Thanks again Gloria!

Diana
 

Oh Gloria, this is great, So much back and forth among M&M&M! Yikes, we need a scorecard. You managed to plot it out so carefully, play by play. I was getting dizzy just trying to keep track. But I admit I got a bit verklempt when M&M accepted each other with a hug. Glad they didn't drag out the angst any longer.

And thanks for the missing scenes. (no thanks to Uni)

Demetrios, they shoot the twin scenes with a body double (stand-in actor), and cut away to change point of view. You only see the face of one at a time. There are a few shots of both girls in profile, which may be assembled in post-production. They shoot these separately using a blue screen to mask the backdrop (similar to how the weatherman stands in front of a map that isn't really there), and basically make a montage of the separate footage. It's a bit of a trick to act in these, but nothing a professional actor can't handle. This actress is doing such a great job. I can't believe the subtle nuances in personality that she has created to differentiate the characters. It goes way beyond the red lipstick and clever camera work.
 

"Hurricane Ernesto is blowing onshore shortly." LOL, Diana, and I can't wait for the fireworks. NObody expects him.
 

Thanks so much Gloria...even without having seen this, I can picture everything, thanks to your detailed recap.

Always enjoy your Gloria Asides...

"Becky, the only brain in all this..."

" (Let me give you a tip buddy. When you want to stay and listen. KEEP QUIET. That way they forget your there)"

On the latter, I think maybe that's how you're onto what your kids are thinking, no? I remember, when driving around my middle-schoolers and high schoolers, just staying mum and listening to the conversations in the back seat was very enlightening!

Not liking the latest Estercita maneuver, but guess it was inevitable. Sigh.

Thanks Ms. Gloria. Excellent as always.
 

Gloria - thank you for including the cut scenes, and the detailed recap. what a bummer they didn't show Mags with the baby. I was amused at your "(Let me give you a tip buddy. When you want to stay and listen. KEEP QUIET. That way they forget your there)," and " (DamFab knows the art of being quiet.)"

Aaah yes... can't wait til Ernesto shows up to hopefully terrorize Herny and Pester.


I am loving Mags. XN plays her well - nervous, excited, sometimes innocent like a child, insecure, hurt, tough, unsure.

I enjoyed the scenes when Mags mentioned the kiss b/w her and Dam Fab, and he looked at her like "did you have to say that?" and he nervously said "yeah it was just one kiss." Herny got his too, when she said "I know you. why didn't you mention me to Mars?"





 

Thank you Gloria. I so appreciate you taking the time to add the deleted scenes. I don't expect the recappers to do that, so thank you for going above and beyond. Yes, some of the scenes were silly (Oso and Lagarte at the market) but cutting Mags and Michelito is unpardonable.

Hernan was wearing an interesting outfit. Yellow pants, purple pullover, he looked like a Fairy Basslet. Check it out: Gramma Fairy Basslet. Good look for a fish, not so much for a guy (IMO).

Thank you writers for finally having the twins meet! And curse you writers for letting Pester drug Dam and take pictures. Gah! We knew that was going to happen. I really want to see a smackdown between Mags and Pestercita. But if Ernesto shows up and ruins Pester's fun I would like that as well.

Ernie's not happy about Fully going after his money. Oh no, not at all.

Marcelina, get out of that house NOW.

Thanks again Gloria. Your comments are always very amusing. I couldn't help laughing at KEEP QUIET.
 

shallowgal, that scene at the aquarium was the best. I had to rewind it so I could enjoy everybody's facial expressions again. It was very realistic.
 

Cap'n:

I thought Herny's look was right on, cause well they were at the aquarium, maybe his fashion sense was to imitate the fish, jus' say'n, ; )
 

shallowgal, yes - agree with you on everything you said about what a great job Ximena is doing on Mags.

Sylvia, thank you for reminding me! I could hardly concentrate on Hernan abusing Bea in the face of that horrendous magenta sweater and horrid mustard pants. Perhaps someone in the wardrobe department is mistaking the actor for the character? I cannot see any other reason for such a ghastly pairing.

Diana
 

Mads and Diana, I must have been inspired by the aquarium, lol! I think Hernan's outfits are indicative of his mental state. They just keep getting crazier and crazier.


 

OMG! I'm mostly ok w/ Herny's Euro-flair style, but that color combo last night..... wow ... my eyes... you're on to something there, Cap'n, about his color scheme reflecting his mental state.



 

Gloria:

Thank you for this rich and detailed recap. You reported all, including the deleted scenes. I really appreciate this.

Hernan's outfits have crossed the line irretrievably. Sigh. As a villain, he is doomed to fashion excess as well as severe mental health issues. NM said a few weeks ago that Ivan Sanchez had discovered his "inner jamon". This is such a great image, especially with Sanchez being Spanish. Hee hee. Where ever you shop in Spain, you can see the jamon, fed on pure acorns, hanging out for all to see.I feel like the actor is having a good time with certain scenes, especially with Bea.

I also want to note the tremendous improvement in Ximena as an actress over the course of La Tempestad. Wow. Her 'Magdalena' is quite believable—not at all over the top. I just love how she is portraying this character.

I want the twins to live happily ever after. Were she a real person, I would hope Mercedes could accept that these two will always be more bonded with one another, than with her.

I fondly imagine a place and time in the Tele-future where the twins look at their overwrought mother and say as one, "Mama. Basta Ya!"

EJ
 

Wow Sylvia...I always learn something new here, and it's not always español.

Fairy basslets were not in my cultural repertoire. Will have to start mentioning them in casual conversation since I doubt they are in many Ohioans cultural repertoires either!
 

Thank you for explaining Ixv. And im suprised Fully actually cares for something other then for himself,did he got Treat for Halloween,because thats a new one.

 

Thanks, Gloria! for another GLORIous recap and for including all the scenes that were cut out. .curses on you, Univision.

Like everyone else, I liked the wisdom of your advice about being quiet if you want to listen and learn. As they say, we have two ears and only one mouth for a reason. I also thought of the Asian maxim : "He who knows does not say, and he who says does not know." Also, our saying "silence is golden."

I cannot wait for Frank/Ernasty to come to town. And, Nereo cleaned up pretty well, didn't he?....who knew ? He could be selling computers now with that stylish suit and conservative haircut. ...instead if women.

I especially loved the hug between Mar and Mag.. Pobrecita Mag has experienced so little love in her life, and she has been rejecting Mercedes at every turn. I am so happy that she was able to accept Mariana's embrace. My two daughters are two years apart , and I know that sometimes they confide more in each other than they do with me.

Pester continues with her futile attempts to hold onto DamDopedUP. Give up, girl. You are pathetic beyond words.


 

By the way, are any of you watching the Sunday dance show ? KendrHO from AV is an amazing , aggressive, fearless dancer. YIKES.
 

ITA with those of you who are liking Ximena's performance as Magdalena. Mags's reactions to everything seem very real and believable to me. I had to roll my eyes when Marina accused Magdalena of dressing like her to fool everyone. I don't believe this was Magdalena's motive because how could she have known what Marina was wearing?

My sister and I are two years apart and we often show up at social events wearing similar clothing. Recently I had purchased a flannel shirt with a blue/black diamond/plaid pattern which I wore to a party, paired with black pants. My sister showed up at the same party wearing a dress (also purchased that day) in the identical pattern and material which she wore with black stockings. We didn't go shopping together nor did we shop at the same store.

I agree with Susanlynn, a close sisterhood can be a very strong bond. I hope it will be good for Marina to have Mags on her side.
 

The M&M Twins should team up with Damian and Robles to unmask Hernan, defeat Ester, get rid of Ursula and bring down Fully. The problem is that right now only Damian and Robles know how evil these people are (wait ... do they know about Ursula yet?), especially Hernan.

I wonder if Magdalena will move in with Marina's family.
 

Great recap, Gloria, and again special thanks for patching the holes with the missing parts. Your commentary and wry observation are hilarious as well as spot on.

I'm a bit amazed by the concern expressed here for Marcellino's safety. I think he's safe and his job is secure. Have you ever tried to find help that's not only willing to clean up spills and bits of broken glass, but also dispose of the odd dead body or two every so often?

As for Hernán, I say demedicate him, give him a bit of bad news, and then turn him loose on those terrariums.

Carlos
 

Ha! Carlos if those terrariums survive we will all be disappointed.

I wonder where Valentin is? I want him back in the picture now. Lucky Ximena, gets to play kissy face with both Dam and Val.
 

Thank you Gloria the recap was great, and thanks for the cut scenes, many of which were highly necessary-saw the announcement for Ultimas Semanas! Last episode November 15th, are they in a hurry to get rid of this TN or what!?
 

Mads..I could not find the channel you wrote about on my cable. I love Amor Real. It was the second novela I watched after surfing into Alborada. Those two shows set a very high standard that has never been met by any other novela I have watched. Que lastima.
 

Susanlynn, those are my favorites too. I think you and I met during Alborada and I purchased the Amor Real DVD at your suggestion. The Alborada DVD was much better edited than the Amor Real DVD, so I was thrilled when Univision re-aired Amor Real in its entirety.

Our own Nereo was the horrible villain (one of them) in Alborada and to this date got the worst anvil treatment of any that I have ever seen, IMO. Carla Estrada really knows how to dole out a memorable punishment. I wonder if Monica Miguel will delight us with a similar anvil?
 

Sylvia...all I want for Christmas is a historical telenovela by Estrada and Miguel. Those two are magic together, I agree that Gasca got hit by a dreadful anvil. I just saw the executioner on CI. Have you been watching that one ? It is a hot mess. A special combination of stupidity and negativity. I read the recaps and surf in once in awhile. Many people cannot believe that they are letting this disaster plod along while chopping up a good show like LA.


 

P.s. Sylvia...have you seen the previews for the remake of Amor Real? The guy who played crazy Diego in Alborada is in it. I think that he plays Matilde's novio. What was his name?Ah yes,Antonio Solis. Manuel always said it as if it were one name. I do not know how the story will turn out placed in modern times, but I will tune it and give it a chance.
 

No, I haven't been watching CI. Too many telenovelas, too little time, hee.

I also am very shocked that they have edited La T while letting others, as you say, plod along. I don't want to dis any other telenovelas, but I am baffled as to why La T is getting edited. Oh well. As long as I am learning Spanish and having fun on the patio I am cool. I will miss the smoldering hotness of DamHawt and the over-the-top performances of Fully, Claudio and Hernan.
 

Yes, I noticed crazy Diego will be in the new one. That definitely entices me to watch. He was amazing as Diego, the guy who pooped in public and lost his mind due to advanced syphilis. Such a charming lad.
 

Gloria,
Thank you so much for this recap, again, the missing bits (in red) are above and beyond the call!

I am done. done I say! with seeing Mercedes cry and moan - I like her better when she is a bit pissed!
And DamFab holding "his" baby - my.oh.my. Lovely. !!!
I am really liking Mags.. specially in the scene with Merc/Marina - she was poised and compassionate. Marina is annoying me to no end. frankly:-)! Ana
 

Thanks Gloria! I appreciate the missing scenes and fun recap.

Ximena has really grown as an actress in this telenovela. Ana, glad I'm not the only one annoyed by Marina. What a whiner! Mags has had a terrible life and she's handling everything better than Marina. Marina is the 'educated, working woman' and she's reacting like a stupid, spoiled, immature brat. Just saying that makes me feel better
;-]

Marea Primavera
 

I agree that for a novice actress, X is doing a great job playing twins. It is not just the lips that show the audience Mag or Mad. X is doing a good job.
 

Ana - every scene of DamFabPapichulo with his baby..... priceless!






 

Gloria, thanks so much for the re-cap and for adding those deleted scenes. Will we ever find out why Univision is editing out so much of this novela?

I too agree about Ximena's acting skills. They have gotten better, and I really like her playing the role of Mags. I think that Mags is taking all this better than Marina because Mags is used to expecting the worse because she grew up with nothing, while Marina had a "normal" upbringing.

I thought Hernan's wardrobe couldn't get any worse, until last night.

Carlos, I agree, let him loose on those terrarium's.

So happy to see Tia Becky come to the rescue and tell Hernan to leave. Yay Tia Becky.


Back to work...Hasta Manana.
 

Thank you, Gloria for once again doing double duty.
I too can't wait for Ernesto's homecoming. I'm in the camp that is happy that the twins have been reunited.
How do I get to see the full episode? Is it on youtube?



 

Gloria and all thank you so much for all the recaps and the cut scenes, especially since the episodes are jam packed into one. I really like William levy in this episode, he looks good in black and the scene of him and mags at the beach made him look handsome in a different light. I think it was because he looked thoughtful and quizzical. Anyway, I am glad Mags and Marina won't fight over damfab and are actually glad to be sisters. I was really worried for that. I don't understand nosyrosy. She would rather have Abigail, who appears to not care she is ruining a marriage, for Lazaro. I feel so bad for Bea. She was a big mouth bass before, but I hope she recovers. She finally have common sense, but can't even express them.
 

Missed all the fun but read the recap. Great job Gloria; loved the details and your comments.

I am flying to Bali tomorrow morning and will try to check in when I find wifi there. Hopefully I can watch uni or youtube videos in Ubud. No Spanish so I will rely on recaps on Caray.
 

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 38comments this morning. i'll have to read them later. must work for now. :(





 

New here. I have a question am I the only one that thinks the Marina character is bland? I also feel like she has no chemistry with DamFab
