La Malquerida #38, 10/15/2014: Ale Escapes Dan, But Leaves Love and Family Behind
-Ale, meanwhile, paces her room, agonizing and thinking, and gazing at German’s painting of her. Rosa brings her a gift box, from her “novio” (she assumes German), but it turns out to be from Danilo- a cell phone. He calls and pressures her to come live with him and tell her peeps the same lie about him knowing her from years ago, and threatens to kill German if she doesn’t do it. He also insults German’s artistic abilities and tells Ale that German’s been fired from the Association. Ale defends German’s talent. In a conversation with Acacia, she asks her to support German in whatever he needs. She packs a small bag and puts framed photos of herself and German, and herself and Acacia and Luisa. She takes Carlitos’ drawing out of the frame, and asks for his help. She apologizes to her dad in heaven for muddying his name with the father sexual abuse lie.

Yet, you managed to insert your always wonderful sense of humor with "Juliana knits the missing top half of her sweater". Excellent.
Though hope is a rare emotion here, I am somewhat sustained by Esteban's purposeful polite but distant handling of Acacia. It was obvious he is drawing strength from Cris which you confirmed with "He smiles happily and kisses Cris with genuine love and admiration". Cris is and embodies everything that is good and loving. He knows what he has, let us hope he never forgets it.
While pleased German turned to Uli for comfort, I am perplexed as to why he did not go to Esteban. Esteban has always been there for him - was he embarrassed to admit how far he has fallen (or been pushed) and lost family, livlihood and the love of his life?
I would like to think that Perla beyotch slapped Julianita to scare her so that Danilo would not hurt her, but that would be giving her too much credit. I suspect the years of abuse Perla has suffered have manifested into "be lucky you are alive" which is her very sad mantra.
And Ale. Where will she go? What will she do? Will German find her before Danilo does? We must hope.
Vivi, thank you for this amazing recap. You are so kind and generous...

for not helping, believe me I would if I was half as gifted as you ladies. Ii didn't have time to comment yesterday. I'm getting ahead of myself because I just watched Wednesday night epi. Every single member of Ugggacia family will be be watching Uli's every move, as he tries desparately to prove himself. You know he has messed up and hurt Ms. Pout so many times. Just watch Nuria's antics will cause Uli major grief. The village idiot (Norb) and the town (sociopath), and Esteban (jealous enamorado) could hold Uli accountable. I had wrongly posted that Este had hired Nuria to sabotage the project, but it looks like that is happening without Este's help after all. Vivi, you said what I was thinking that everyone is breaking German's heart and I so feel for him. He is such a sensitive sweet beautiful soul. How dare they!! Not to happy w Ale either. I know she scared but she didnt have to be so cruel to protect him. She has to know that German will not abandon her. She should have told him. It is very dangerous for all ti return to dan. Yup,
Uggacia should keep her cotton pickin hands off Este. She is throwing herself at him. No question. *Sorry for lengthy recap. I had posted this on epi#37, but was really for last nights epi.
I think she is a manipulative minx that is unfortunately for her way out of her league in terms of whom she has chosen to grift.

it’s clear that Norbie does nothing
Juliana knits the missing top half of her sweater
I am fed up with Ale. What’s so wrong about German’s plan for them to run away together? She needs a wise, mature person to give her some tough advice, but she’s only getting counsel from baby Acacia.
Don’t know where this is going but it’s not clear why Esteban has a thing for Acacia. Yes, Gringo, she rocks a bikini -- and can be a caring person. But she was so annoying last night that it looked really nuts for Esteban to be hung up on this ditz. Her tiny dress made her normally lovely legs look like tree stalks.
I suspect the years of abuse Perla has suffered have manifested into "be lucky you are alive" which is her very sad mantra.
Diana, it was painful to watch the abused become the abuser. Perla enjoyed the power she wielded over Julianita.
Thank goodness for the glee of Arturo and Luisa.
It seemed she was trying to escape unnoticed but I wasn't sure until I saw Vivi's title what she was doing.
Yes, she and German should have run off into the sunset. With his artistic talent and her business acumen, I am confident they could have made a go of it.
There must be a happy ending for these two - for everyone else? All bets are off.
Diana
And yes, Perla is going to be heartbroken when Ale returns. And, which is worse? Have her return on her own or having Danilo find/force her back? Either way, it will be unbearable for Ale...
Diana
I’m curious to see if anything ever happens between Acacia and Este, or if his feelings will become really apparent and that alone will cause trouble. Having that old boyfriend show up, the one that will mount Chris’s show, makes me think something will happen, and that the art guy is the fallback for Chris when everything goes to hell.
I hope Ale doesn’t go back to Dan, but instead gets on a bus and disappears.
For the life of me, I also can't understand why this Acacia thing is such a struggle for Esteban either. Initially, I saw it. She's hot and young. The novelty of it was jarring. But the more time passes, it's so obvious that Cris is the more desirable of the two, if you are a grown man. They have great chemistry and work well both in and out of the bedroom. Cris is an ideal mate in every way. Had Acacia turned out to be some awesomely mature, witty, grounded, wise woman beyond her years, then I could see why this is still so much of a struggle. She IS a good person, with a kind heart. But she's also insecure, easily manipulated, prone to jealousy and to jumping to conclusions, and spoiled. Why in heaven's name would that be so desirable to a grown man?
of her sweater. LOL, I did have to stop and think and then it hit me. Yes, she was missing a little bit from her top last night.
Niecie---When a woman ROCKS A BIKINI, a man can put up with annoying---well for a little while anyway.
Arturo and Luisa look like they are going to be a happy couple.
I completely thought that Alejandra was running away last night, not back to DanEvil but Novella Lover makes a good point.
Julianita is not a happy camper, Perla will definitely be angry and Alejandra hates DanEvil. Dan boy is tough but three angry women may be his undoing. Then there always is a tipoff of the illegal drug trade to the police.
This story is getting really interesting. Nuria probably thinks that she is pretty slick selling unit A2 twice but she doesn't know who she is dealing with. How many poker players have been shot for dealing from the bottom of the deck? You're gonna get burned girl?
WOW! Hurricane winds are blowing in every direction. Esteban is almost broke, Norberto is almost broke, German is thrown out and looses Alejandra, DanEvil is back in business big time, Alejandra a kept woman? and Ulises is about to be blindsided. Can any more trouble be stirred up? The only good thing going right now is Arturo and cutie pie Luisa.
I can't wait for tonight.

Very true. A man can put up with annoying for a little while, when a woman rocks a bikini the way Acacia does. :) But it's been months now, so Este should have grown disenchanted by now.
Diana- I think German did go to Benavente to speak to Cris. I'm sure Este would be just as helpful too, but all the young people seem to turn to Cris when they finally do seek elder help. I hope he returns to speak with her as they agreed.
I loved your comment about Este drawing strength from Cris. It's so true.
Perla was pretty abusive to Ale too. I'm not shocked at all by the abused turning into the abuser. It happens all the time. But there have been flashes of humanity in Perla that I hope develop more. I really want her to turn on Dan one day.
Novella lover- Like you, it pains me to see how German's heart is getting broken in so many ways. Last night I was surprised by how loving and tender he was with Ale, given the fact that she had been so cruel (physically and emotionally) the last time they saw each other.
What Esteban sees in Acacia? I think Gringo is on to something - she is sexy and young and did I mention sexy?
A smart Esteban would never look at her as more than a nice piece of eye candy (if his fantasies ever went there ) but Estefan is not smart, he's horny as Hell. He was astonished by her beabeauty at the beginning and now he can't shake it off.
I'm not sure if anything will ever happen between them outside his imagination but Acacia is clearly smitten, too, even if she's too inexperienced to recognize true lust when she sees it. But when she does and Esteban realizes it. ... who knows what will happen.
With so many episodes in I still have no clue what will happen next. I love it!
Side note : what's up with the very short dresses? Both Acacia and Ale rock them, but they distract me from watching the scenes since I keep staring at their legs.
Makes me understand Esteban better, though. .. his wife only wears jeans. :)
Adriana you made me think of something. I've always wondered how old Esteban is supposed to be? Is he younger, the same age, or older than Cristina? I kinda thought he was younger so maybe if he is then his attraction to Cris to diminishing because of that. Whereas Acacia is a young, beautiful woman.
I'm curious to see what Ale is going to do.
