La Malquerida #95, 1/7/2015: Truth and Consequences
German goes through his artwork as he packs up and decides what to take to his new apartment. Elena comes in and sees the drawing of Alejandra he’s looking at. She asks about it and he explains how he drew Ale when he first saw her looking sad in a park, but he drew her with a smile anyway. Elena says that German still thinks of Ale, but he denies it unconvincingly. Elena tells him that there are some mementos best left in our memories or our hearts. German thinks she means he should get rid of the drawing of Ale, and is about to tear it up when she stops him. She wants to keep it. German smiles and happily gifts it to her. Since she and JC were planning on going to San Miguel that afternoon to finally see his exhibit, he offers to take them. He was taking a painting there anyway.
G: Why didn’t you tell me? Why? I would have found a way to help you. (He gets on his knees and takes her hand, sobbing.) Forgive me please. I don’t know what to do. It fills me with rage that this was done to you, in the vilest way! (He punches the bed frame.)
A: I know.
G: Why? Did you think I wasn’t mature enough to understand your past? You didn’t believe in my unconditional love?
A: I was scared that you’d be ashamed that I had been a prostitute. I was scared that you would reject me, that you would think I was dirty/impure.
G: Don’t you realize that I loved you so much, that none of that would have been important to me?
G: The worst thing is, now that I know the truth…
A: You’re about to marry Lizzy.
A: I know. I want you to be happy with Lizzy. You deserve a woman who is good and pure, without a past.

Wow...things are happening fast. We know that Dan is still on the loose and still dangerous . I wonder if he is going to manage to kill at least one person on his hit list..
Este is scrambling to get money from Cris and keep holding on to Ack. "Over my dead body" sounded like a good option to me, but not before the.truth about Este killing Alonso is revealed.
Freezing cold here. Most of the local schools have a twohour delay due to the frigid temperatures.
"Este looks disappointed that he didn’t get that contract signed"
"He hands Dan a bottle of liquor in a classy paper bag and tells him that the chick they shot is not dead."
"(Cris has a WTF look on her face, and so do I. Shut up, Manuel!)"
"“Because you love someone else.” Acacia looks 50 shades of guilty"
If Hector is gonna crime fight he needs to work on his take down technique.
That poor Uli still loves Acacia, foolish boy.
I would think Norberto more nervous, perhaps he is, tequila runs through his veins.
Esteban's gonna blow, just don't know what will be the final trigger. Something little
It looks like we are going to have a fast, wild ride to the end with Este sliding down a slippery slope to Crazyville. I am going to be very ticked if Uli loses this lottery and ends up with Ack on his back..ick. This guy has been the true galan snd deserves much better. However, all signs are to Ack being forgiven by all and ending up with Uli. Bio
VIvi..great title.
Poor Ale, Uli and Luisa. A lot of broken hearts. I feel sure Uli and Acacia and Ale and German will probably get together, but I don't know what will happen with Luisa and Art and Manuel. Someone is going to be disappointed. Poor Lizzy if German leaves her do you think she would want Manuel? LOL!
Art is such a nice guy and is especially nice to Uli. If Luisa lets Art get away, she's a fool.

I cannot express my gratitude for providing us with everything that happened in the 2 combined episodes. What dedication you have Vivi. You are amazing. Your dialog translations were excellent.
For a moment, I thought Ale was dead. Everything happened so quickly!
My eyes teared up several times last night including "After he leaves, Cris gets teary and softly calls out his name". There is still a scintilla of affection, some small remnant of feeling that cannot be denied. There is hope!
But what made me cry this morning were your beautiful words: "German leans in and whispers in Ale’s ear: “I would have loved you, no matter what” - what a knife to the heart.
Ale and German's heart wrenching discussion would have brought a tear to the most cynical person! His grief was all too real and seeing Ale on the verge of hysteria finally able to tell her entire sordid, sad past was almost too much to bear.
So German is going to stay with Lizzy? The intention is honorable but one needed only to look at his face to know his actions are not mirroring what his heart wants.
I love how everyone is rallying around Ale. Please, please, do not allow anything (further) to happen to Ale or German.
Uli was so very tender with Ale. Seeing them together, it was obvious there is a very special bond and if you did not know better, would easily mistake them for a couple in love.
tofie, as much as I agree (with dismay) that Uli still loves Acacia, I am even more upset that it seems ent silly Luisa still loves Manuel " “This can’t be! It can’t be!” Art asks if she’s still in love with that worthless wretch". Sadly, so it seems...
I feel I have to say something about Acacia so begrudgingly will. She seems to have regained her sanity (well at least as far as Este is concerned) as Este has totally lost his.
Will Memo fight or flight?
I grimly agree Susanlynn - Danilo's damage is not yet done.
I have more to say, I am trying to digest it all.
Vivi, thank you for creating this stunning recap. I am sure you are totally sleep deprived - gracias amiga.
Diana
Juli & Norbie getting what they've wanted all along: the property.
In thinking about it this morning, with everything happening at the lightening speed it did, everyone had only one thought: rush to Ale's aid. It was a natural reaction for Uli, Hector and Cris to run to their beloved friend's aid. I do think one of the policemen should have run after Danilo but I could see where everyone's focus was on Ale.
I think the logical person was Este but as Vivi so smartly pointed out he had other things on his mind "looks disappointed that he didn’t get that contract signed". Yup, and there you have it.
I really wish Rubio had heard Luisa and Arturo's conversation. It would have been a shock but less so overhearing it than have it thrown at him or being caught even more unaware. And, he would also know Manuel is the father, not Arturo. My fear is that he will hear the news and jump to the wrong conclusion.
I thought crazed Danilo who vowed to own and control Ale forever was frightening. I'm now afraid Danilo's livid promise of revenge, to kill Ale might be even more shattering.
Diana
Yes, both Esteloco and Danevil have gone into lunatic zone. I really hope Dan does not get the chance to get his hands on Ale again.
As for the takedown, Hector was busy pinning Efrain to the ground and holding a gun to his head. Uli and Dan were both hovering over Ale in shock. All of a sudden the cops came out and Dan took off. It would have been silly for Uli to throw himself in front of Dan trying to grab him, with a half the police force pointing guns at Dan. The logical thing would be to stay down and stay out of the way, which is what Uli did. Hector was only able to stand up while this happened, because a cop came over and took Efrain off his hands. All of this happened so quickly that it is hard to keep track.

I'm glad Ale finally got to tell German the truth. I gotta give props to Africa Zavala and Osvaldo de León for their superb acting in that scene. Poor German is really battling what his heart wants and what his head is telling him. I know he wants to do the right thing with Lizzy but now that he knows the truth about Ale it will obviously confuse him more.
Este was seriously scary holding that machete. I don't even want to think about him using it. Acacia is rushing into things though but unfortunately I think Este figured out the reason.
Poor Luisa. She really has suffered a lot over Manuel. And poor Uli. I wonder if Acacia will eventually find out that it was him at her window. Again I felt bad for Norbie when he had to witness the father-son hug at the hospital.
So how did the guy who is helping Dan know that Ale didn't die?
We already know that Dan and all those shady guys have eyes and ears everywhere. I'm sure any reports going out about the incident, including the APB on Dan, mention that someone was wounded and hospitalized (not killed). That's probably how he knows Ale wasn't killed. Question is, will Rubio continue to be Dan's eyes and ears inside the hacienda once Ale goes there?
When I stated a few days ago that I wished Cris would open her eyes, you responded Vivi with how could we expect her to jump to a conclusion that her daughter was involved with Esteban. I replied that I would not expect that, but you have just stated above what I would have expected her to see: that her daughter's behavior was becoming erratic and needed some attention that was more substantial than the endless "What is wrong with you, Acacia". So, on that point (psychological help) we are in agreement.
I think the brutality of what Ale has endured hit me full force last night. For the moment, I feel a great deal of sadness, so I will save my thoughts for later.
Thank you ever so much, Vivi in DC.
Fatima
Yes, I share your sentiments!
Also Vivi, I just wanted to confirm that you are recapping tonight?
Diana
Steve – are you new? I don’t remember seeing a comment from you before, but I don’t check in every day, so maybe you’ve commented before. I enjoyed your comment.
In fact, I’m loving all the comments. Great stuff.
TF – thank you for the link. I’m going to go look at it right now.
I’m thinking that machete under the bed is going to come in useful. Meantime, why doesn’t Acacia shutter and lock her bedroom window? Not only is there completely flipped-out Este coming through it all the time, but she knows Dan is out there somewhere and everyone is in danger.
What a treat for all of us. You are such a gifted writer.
I am clinging to the hope that German realizes Ale is implanted in his heart.
Doing the right thing is not staying with Lizzy.
It is being with the one who has sacrificed everything for him - Ale.
Diana
I cannot believe he will continue to spy for Danilo in view of what has transpired. While Memo's "passing" is still raw for him, he wasn't that affected that he didn't smirk and revel in Acacia's indifference to Este.
I am hoping now that he knows how dangerous Danilo is, he will be concerned for Luisa and her safety. I'm not sure money is a real motivator for him at the moment (other than trying to help Luisa out).
I'm still waiting for the chaos to ensue when he finds out about Luisa and who he thinks is the baby's father.
Diana
I agree with you Diana that Rubio's fate is still up in the air. There are a couple of possibilities. He will probably freak out when he finds out that Luisa is pregnant with Manuel's child.
what Univision cut out last night.
Another angry email will be on it's way to Univision right after I finish my comments here.
Vivi---I really liked your line, Uli and Hector look sad and horrified and Este looks disappointed that he didn't get the contract signed.
I was certain that bullets would fly. It was just so obvious as Tuesdays episode ended with the police at Danilo's door.
When a bullet struck Alejandra and she went down I think that my heart stopped for a few seconds. OH NO!! Not Alejandra!!! I didn't what to believe what I had just seen but it was true.
At some point my tv screen went black for a couple of minutes. I thought of the last time That Univision had lost their picture,
are they going out again? After a couple of commercials the show continued thankfully.
Susanlynn---She has been through hades and back with Dan the devil.
What a strong woman. Yes Susanlynn
At one point I thought that Alejandra was a scarred little mouse and she was very scared. Anyone would be while being held captive by the devil but it's true---Ale is a very strong woman a true modern day hero. I hope that she is able to live through this all. Devil Danilo is still alive and out to kill her for helping to bring him down. Do I dare to breathe through the rest of La Malquerida?
Diana---Ale and German's heart wrenching discussion would have brought a tear to the most cynical person! His grief was all too real and seeing Ale on the verge of hysteria finally able to tell her entire sordid past was almost too much to bear. Diana, you said it perfectly. The gringo says that Oscars need to be given out to Africa Zavala and Osvaldo de Leon for that very touching and perfectly acted scene. OMG! What acting.
Another great line from last night was---Is Luisa still in love with that worthless wretch?
The poor girl just can't see the forest through the trees.
Too many machetes being slung around. Esteloco is off the deep end. Will Manuel be alive after tonight's episode? Not a spoiler but I just have to wonder.
Must see tv.
the gringo
I don't understand the people at Hacienda Benavente not respecting a locked door. What about a little privacy.
I'd love to give Uli some motherly advise and tell him to RUN, he dodged an Acacia bullet. I like Art but want him to shut up about Acacia and his brother together, forever. Let it lie Art, you aren't doing well enough in the romance department to think level headed. You guys are good boys and deserve much better.
Give it a few years and this will all seem silly.
I know German nearly a saint but it is real easy to make statements of unconditional love after the fact. We and they will never know if he could have processed and coped, in his early 20's, with such a horrible life story. My stomach sank, though I already know, when Ale started with, my mother sold me to Dan when I was 13.
"Fifty shade of guilty" my fave!
I absolutely loved the scene where Esteloco is boo-hooing and Cris offers to bail him out. His complete about face was comical. I had a good belly laugh over that. What a nut.
It must slay Sergio to watch and think about what he could have done with the part. Probably other actors are having the same thoughts about what they might have done with it. Roles like that don’t come along very often.
Can you imagine what the Danilo actor would have done with that part? But of course he’s Danilo, and deserves a flood of awards. Stupendous performance!
I don't how to thank you for your awesome recap. I am so appreciative that you went above and beyond by giving us the deleted scenes. It is such a shame that we as loyal viewers missed a very important scene between Ale and German. I guess Univision didn't realize how much we wanted to see, feel and be touched by that scene. I am lucky to have found this community of novella lovers. I would be lost without you!
I was struck by how much happened last night. Everything is happening so quickly. It makes me wonder what else the writers have in store for us. I hope that Ale is able to have some breathing room away from Danilo. I pray he doesn't get his filthy hands on her again, but I fear that there is just enough time for him to do something to Ale. No spoiler here, just speculation.
Este has gone bonkers. Acacia is not my favorite, but she needs to watch her back, along with Manuel and Cris. Did anyone else notice that Este did NOTHING last night when Cris was being held at gunpoint. He just stood back there and watched. I bet he was thinking, go ahead and take her, you'll be doing me a favor.
TF, thanks for the link for the Ale/German convo. I will look for it when I get home tonight. I still can't get over the fact that some of the Ale/German scenes were cut. Damn you Uni!
I was glad and sad to see Arturo realize that Luisa might still have feelings for Manuel. He has done so much for Luisa that she might be taking him for granted. I think Luisa needed to hear that Manuel and Acacia are engaged. She needs to get over her obsession with Manuel. Her childhood crush needs to end. I think part of why she "loved" Manuel is because he was unattainable. Even though they were friends since childhood, in Luisa's eyes, he was always "above" her. She always wanted to be like Acacia. And one way to be like Acacia was to have a well-to-do boyfriend like Manuel. If Arturo keeps his distance from Luisa, she will realize how much he means to her. At least I hope she does. I wouldn't let Arturo go. And I don't normally like beards, but I don't mind it on him. I love his smile and his eyes. They could light up a room.
More to say, but I have work to do.
Thanks again Vivi!
Hasta Pronto...
You are AMAZING!!
Watching on television I felt as if I were on Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride…about 10 minutes in, I just sat back and tried to enjoy the ride…someone pass the Dramamine. At this rate will the TN finish early?
What I don’t understand is why doesn’t Univision simply delay the start of the new TN? They already know how many episodes they have and how many nights / timeslots are needed…so unless this TN received low ratings in the US, I just don’t get it.
Otherwise, he's been very dignified in the way he has gotten on with his life without her. Please don't compare Uli to that lapdog Chava. :)
You're welcome AuntyAnn. It was the least I could do.
Regarding SG and CM, this is the first TN that I've seen CM in. He's okay as a villain so I kinda get why SG is saying that. The star villain of this TN is Alberto Estrella (Danilo). He plays the part of a villain well. I didn't really see him in Robo but I've seen two other TNs with him as the villain and I have to say he was amazing.
Este Taking out his frustration by chopping at the wood with the machete was weird. That dulls the blade, dumbass.
I had never seen Christian Meier but Madelaine was fairly enthused about him in this role. While I think it was unprofessional of Sergio to comment on his acting, I can't say I disagree.
In some instances, the blank stare is appropriate but I think that if he had played the part passionately, we might understand why Acacia was drawn to him rather than being bewildered by seeing this man as the one who broke (or who will break up) Cris and her family.
I think Gabriel Soto would have been perfect to play Esteban. After all, he romanced Ms. Romo in Sortilegio and was toally believable. He can bring the romance. Big time.
And AuntyAnn, I agree that while it was difficult to watch Arturo struggling with the obvious - that Luisa is still stuck on Manuel, it was for his own good. If he does stay away, I also think she will realize what she is missing.
Diana
Thank you! I cried again. Sniff...
Susanlynn, I could never see Sergio in the role. I think he was too old for Acacia certainly, and for me, he holds no charm whatsover.
Diana
Pasion. Need I say more??? As Mario, he and Marisol Del Olmo (Jimena) nearly set the screen on fire.
That said, he is perfect as Danilo. What an amazing actor.
Diana
Marcial Andrade from Entre el Amor y el Odio or Danilo Vargas from La Malquerida?
I honestly look back at EEAYEO and think Marcial was worse because he managed to kill 2 people at the same time while vulnerable from his burn injuries.
Danilo has proven to be the devil himself however and seriously got away with prostituting Ale and co. while his green thumb had his Marijuana farm thriving.
Now in a fight to the death, Danie would be no match for Marcie because of his bad knee and I also remember that Marcie had a katana sword(s) he was going to use to kill a woman although she ended up getting hit by a truck. I also remember the scene where Marcie took on Juan Carlos Casasola's villain El Catrin and his goons one by one and freed Maria Sorte's character Maria Magdalena.
Now my question is that after what you wrote (and TF agreed with) - that he is WORSE than Danilo do I really want to!?
Seriously, I'm sure he was marvelous. He always is.
Diana
Romy
I'd only recommend it for Alberto's acting (at the literal very end when he dies you begin to think he was a demon from hell below.) Other than that the novela is depressing, violent and grotesque schlock. At that time in 2002, El Manantial by Carla Estrada was the bomb diggity and best novela of the year.
Danilo knows how to pose as a class act in public and especially in front of Cristina.
Marcial was a stand-up asshole as in early on he is killing, maiming and spewing out his negative venom. By capitulo 45 his nastiness and violence had gone public.
