Lo Imperdonable #14 Thu 6/4/15 "Rings, Horses, and Drunken Cousins.....Here's How to Ruin a Lovely Engagement Party"

UPDATE:  As I previously mentioned, Adriana had an "imprevisto" (something came up) and could not write a recap for last night's episode #14.  Fortunately, our recapping team captain Mauricio came through for us (even though he also has recapping duty tonight) and wrote a detailed recap of episode #14.  So, I have deleted from here my emergency bullet points from this morning.  Enjoy Mauricio's full recap immediately below:


Hotel / Bar 
Virginia and Martin continue their little chat outside the hotel/bar. Virginia doesn't want Martin to mention her relationship with Daniel at home because it would cause problems and she wants to protect Daniel from them. She goes on to tell Martin that no one is to blame for being poor and that what is important to her is that Daniel is a hard worker. And we all know Virginia knows from personal experience that he is a "hard worker".... Martin won't mention Virginia's relationship with Daniel. Martin's cellphone rings. It's Veronica. Virginia leaves so Martin can talk with Veronica. 

Martin answers his phone. Veronica thanks him for the all the flowers. He filled her room with them and filled her with happiness. It's the best present she has ever received. No one has ever had such a gesture like that with her. "It can't be the first time that a man gives you a gift.." Martin tells Veronica. "Of course not" Veronica replies. "But if that were true, nothing compares to receiving something like this from the man I love" Veronica tells him. Martin tells her he thinks she is exaggerating a little but is glad she liked them. Alfredo signals to him [probably letting him know their car is there] and Martin tells Veronica he has to hang up. Veronica tells Martin she loves him. She tells him she knows he can't say "I love you" back but she is sure that one day he will. Martin hangs up and says to himself "of course I will never say it but I would love to..." as he leaves.


Casa De Botel
At Casa De Botel, Magdalena tells Padre Juan that when she recovered she wanted to go back for her daughter and even though she tried. Well, she told him what happened... Padre Juan doesn't know what to say. He tells her that God knows what he does and that everything will be fine. Magdalena thanks him for comprehending her and tells him that she has suffered all these years not knowing about her daughter and worse of all imagining what the bastard father could have done to her daughter. Padre Juan tells Magdalena that they can't question what God does and that Botel is right. If Botel hadn't taken her to the hospital then she would have died. Padre Juan tells Magdalena that God is giving her the financial possibility to search for her daughter. 

Casa De Claudia
Claudia returns home hungover from getting drunk at the restaurant. She gets a message letting her know there will be a meeting early the next day. She's not to happy about it and asks herself why she has to work soooo much if she'll end up marrying Martin in the end. The alcohol is obviously not letting her think straight... She takes out her cream and I cringe dreading another scene with her showing her leg and putting cream on... She asks God to give her a sign... and I ask to be spared a scene with her putting cream on her leg all provocatively...

Street
Virginia and Daniel have a little car trouble. While Daniel fixes the car, Virginia calls up Claudia to let her know she's invited to the engagement party. Virginia asks Claudia if she'll go. Claudia can't leave Martin at the time like this and besides Claudia said she cared for Martin only as a friend. Claudia wonders if this is the sign God is sending her. Claudia tells Virginia that she'll be there. Virginia reminds Claudia that they don't know each other. Virginia hangs up and says to herself that Veronica will have an unforgettable engagement party. Ugh..Claudia does stroke her leg putting a little cream on and I want to close my eyes..

Casa De Botel
At Casa De Botel, Botel is afraid the bastard husband will find Magdalena and kill her. Magdalena says that the anguish of not knowing about her daughter doesn't let her live. She knows it won't be easy to find her but she can't just not go and look for her. Padre Juan tells her that God is opening a path and that he'll pray for her and for her daughter. 

Casa De Demetrio
Outside Casa De Demetrio, Nanciyaga steps outside in her nightgown and Padre Juan reprimands her coming outside dressed liked that. He doesn't want the townspeople to talk crap about her. He sends her home to change and Nanciyaga tells him that she lives there. She tells him that her "patron" told her to live there until he came back. The "patron" also told her to leave things as they are. Padre Juan can't believe it and says he'll write a letter to Martin. Telling him what?? To have the place cleaned up?? He tells Nanciyaga to get dressed and to come with him to the church. For what?? So she can confess her sin of coming outside in her nightgown?? Oh Padre... She'll do as told but doesn't want him to get mad at her. 

Casa De Montse
Montse is happily painting away to music when Mariana and Pablo enter. Montse and Mariana are happy to see each other. Montse asks what happened. Why did they return so soon? Marina tells Montse how terrible that place was. Montse knew that an adventure in the jungle wasn't for Mariana and Pablo agrees. Montse wants to know all about their trip. How was that little French Hotel?

Casa De Cresencio
At Casa De Cresencio, Blanquita calls up to Ana Perla and tells her to hurry up or they'll be late. Abuelo the dog hater doesn't like seeing Onix inside the house and on his couch out of all places. He notices the cut on Polo's hand and asks him about it. Polo sees Manuel entering the room and gets all nervous. Polo doesn't give a straight answer as to where he got the cut. Manuel tells Abuelo that Polo wanders around town like a dog without an owner and who knows where he could have gotten the cut. Blanquita tells Abuelo that Polo cut himself with a knife and Abuelo wants to know what Polo was doing with a knife. Polo looking at Manuel tells Abuelo that he heard that a man without a knife is not a man. Abuelo asks him where the heck he heard such a nonsense and turns around and looks accusingly at Manuel.

Pierre's Hotel
Outside of Pierre's hotel, Pierre instructs a young man named Julio to make sure there is enough food in the pantry. Pierre wants everything to be fantastic when the newlyweds arrive. Pierre comments on how marvelous love is and how far away it is from him. Julio suggests Pierre find a girlfriend in town but Pierre thinks his heart should choose his love because if his eyes were to choose he'd marry all of the women in town since they are all so pretty. Pierre asks Julio about him. Does he like anyone? Whatever happened to curiosity killed the cat, Pierre...  Julio admits he likes Blanquita but doesn't want Pierre to tell anyone especially his chess partner. Pierre tells Julio be careful because Cresencio and Manuel are to be watched out for.

Casa De De Cresencio
Ana Perla comes downstairs. Ana Pearla, Blanquita, Polo, and Onix leave. But not before Manuel threatens Polo behind Abuelo's back with a throat cut signal to not blab or else. Abuelo whines that until a tragedy occurs people won't realize that kids shouldn't be out on their own. Shut up, Abuelo...

Casa De Montse 
Pablo tells Montse and Mariana that he has to leave because he has things to do. He tells them he'll return to the jungle tomorrow. Montse tells Pablo that he won't be able to leave because on Friday the Prado Castelo will announce Martin and Veronica's engagement.

Club Prado Castelo
Martin rides Sanson and thoughtbubbles that he met Veronica thanks to Sanson. He'll tame Sanson just like Veronica. What a jerk... Jorge shows up and Martin gets off Sanson. Martin tells Jorge that he wants to buy a horse. He would like to buy Sanson. Jorge tells Martin that he has other horses that aren't as fierce as Sanson but Martin wants Sanson. He likes the challenge of taming him and having him eating sugar from his hand. Martin tells Jorge he wants to buy another fierce horse. They leave to go and look at the other horses. 

Casa De Prado Castelo
In the living room, Salma and Virginia look through magazines and Salma as usual treats Veronica like a crap by telling her "we are here helping you with your wedding and there you are looking sooo bored." Veronica apologizes and explains that she was at the office all day since Emi didn't show up. She had to do all his work. Virginia chimes in and explains that Emi didn't go to work because he isn't feeling well. Yeah he wasn't feeling well because the pathetic jerk was hungover after his little drinking binge... Salma doesn't want Virginia and Veronica to argue. Salma asks Veronica if she asked Martin about his guests for Friday. Veronica is confused. What is happening on Friday? Virginia tells Veronica that it's her engagement party. The one she told her about. Veronica says that Virginia didn't tell her anything but Virginia swears she did. Virginia tells Veronica that she asked Martin about his guests. His guests will be Alfredo and Claudia his assistant. "Claudia is coming?" Veronica asks. Veronica asks Virginia when she spoke to Martin. Virginia explains she spoke to him the night before. She ran into him when coming out from the "charity dinner". Veronica tells Salma that she didn't know about this. She hasn't even spoken to Martin. Doesn't Salma think she should know these things? Salma tells Veronica that she thinks Virginia did tell her about it but Veronica didn't pay attention to her. "If we are taking the time to prepare things for you it is because you don't like it and have no idea how to do it" Salma tells Veronica. "And we are doing it right because we'll have important guests that day" Virginia says. Veronica tells Salma she wants something simple and intimate. She doesn't want a big thing. She's not interested in those special guests. It's not a public relations meeting after all. Salma the snob tells Veronica that she's obviously a Prado Castelo by name only because someone with their last names can't just do whatever so they'll do things HER way. Veronica says okay fine but she asks that Salma be the one to inform her things. Salma wants Veronica to remember that she lives in the Prado Castelo world. Oh so now they have their own world...what S.N.O.B... She asks Veronica and Virginia to not argue anymore. Salma tells Veronica and Virginia that what would be great would be if the two of them would wear the pendant Jorge gave  them. Virginia is cara de oh snap what will I do now. Virginia tries to get out of wearing the pendant while Veronica thinks it's a good idea. Veronica gets all sentimental talking about the pendant. Jorge gave it to them the day they were legally adopted into the family. Veronica says it was a beautiful day for her and she's sure it was for Virginia as well and Salma for the first time actually talks sweetly to Veronica and tells her that it was a special day for them as well. Virginia doesn't think it will be a good idea to wear the pendants because Veronica could get all sentimental and cry and mess up her makeup and everything has to perfect, no? Veronica thanks her for her concern and says that she'll control herself that day. Salma asks them to go and look for the pendants so she can send them to the jeweler to have them cleaned. 

Flashback
Virginia recalls being in bed with a shirtless Demetrio and giving him the pendant so he'd have something of gold to remember her by. He kisses her and thanks her and swears that he'll have it with him at all times and that way he'll have her close all the time. 

Virginia comes back to reality and Salma asks her what's wrong. Virginia says they'll do as asked and wear the pendants. Veronica leaves to go and call Martin. Veronica asks Virginia where she ran into him. Virginia replies that she ran into him at the bar with his friend Alfredo. Didn't he tell her? Yeah he did tell her he was with Alfredo but not where. Veronica leaves. Salma thinks that Virginia doesn't want to wear the pendant because it doesn't bring back good memories of her childhood. Virginia says it's not only that but she thinks the pendant makes her and Veronica the same and they are sooooo different. Besides, Virginia does have Salma's blood, unlike Veronica. Salma asks Virginia to wear the pendant for her and for Jorge and not for Veronica. Virginia says that if it's so important to Salma then she'll do it.

Casa De Martin
Martin stares at the V shaped pendant as he has a glass of wine at home. Veronica calls him and asks him if he is working. He tells her he's not and that he was thinking about her. She tells him that Virginia mentioned that they ran into each other the night before. He tells her that Virginia surprised him with the news of the engagement party. Veronica tries to explain that she had to tell him but... Martin tells her not to worry about it. He'll do whatever makes her happy. Veronica tells him that it'll be one of those ostentatious parties. Veronica has found her V shaped pendant in her jewelry box and takes it out and looks at it. Veronica tells Martin that she would have preferred something simple but it was Salma's idea and she couldn't tell her no. Martin tells Veronica that he images what it cost Veronica to not want to be treated like a queen. Veronica tells him that "now he is getting to know her". The door is a little ajar and Virginia eyes the pendant that Veronica is holding. And we all can guess what will happen next....

Casa De Botel
The contract for the sell of the gold has arrived and Padre Juan gives it to Botel and Magdalena. Padre Juan doesn't understand how they'll do it to send the gold out of Mina Esconidada. Botel says they'll risk it using Uspin's boat service. Hmmm...something tells me that something will go wrong...

Club Prado Castelo
At the engagement party, Montse asks Salma where Emi is and Salma replies that he won't attend because he had to go on a business trip. A business trip with the bottle, perhaps? 

Meanwhile, Emi is fencing aggressively with Nicolas who chews him out for almost killing him. Emi explains that he has too much anger to behave like a gentlemen. Nicolas goes to change for the party. Virginia feels sorry for him because he's probably still not feeling well because of Veronica. Emi is a jerk as usual with Virginia and asks her how many times he has to tell her that 1. he doesn't want her to pity him and 2. he doesn't want to talk about Veronica. Virginia apologizes and tells him that Salma told her that he won't attend the engagement party. He asks her why she wants him to go. So he can humiliate himself??  So he sees how the woman he loves leaves his hands??? News Flash To Emi: She was never in your hands you jerk... Virginia makes a face as if she is hurt by his words and the big jerk tells her not to make that face. If she can't handle his response then don't come asking him questions. He leaves but Virginia follows. She tells him that he should attend the party so he can show Veronica that this doesn't affect him. Emi tells Virginia that Veronica knows how he feels. There is no point in pretending not to be affected when deep down inside he is. Virginia wants Emi to not let Veronica and Martin see him defeated. She wants Emi to make it clear to Veronica and Martin who Emiliano Prado Castelo is. A man who is the owner of his feelings and his masculinity. She leaves him rather pensive.

Alfredo and Claudia arrive at the party and Claudia loves what she sees. She'd love to be a member of the club and to have the rich life. Alfredo laughs and tells Claudia that she'll never change. "And here Martin is thinking that the golddigger is. Oh well.. " he says. Then why don't you tell him that his assistant is nothing but a golddigger you idiot. Virginia walks past by them and Alfredo greets her and "introduces" her to Claudia. 

Veronica sits with a guest when Martin pops up from behind and gives her a flower. 

Salma spots Virginia and asks her where she's been. Virgina replies that she was in the powder room. Salma doesn't want Virginia to disappear on her. This is such an important day because it's the first step for them to finally be happy without you know who *cough Veronica*... The two vipers hug to celebrate the end of having to deal with Veronica...

Pablo reminds Mariana that he'll be returning to Mina Escondida tomorrow. Mariana knows but she wants to at least enjoy the party. Pablo lets her know that its urgent for him to return and Mariana tells him that you'd think that he would have found something interesting there. Could she at least know what it was? Oh, if only she knew... 

Martin calls everyone's attention and thanks them all for attending. He thanks Jorge and Salma for receiving him. He calls Veronica to his side. Mariachis show up and sing. Luckily, Demetrio bit the dust or else we'd have to deal with Pablo Montero singing again... We get a flashback of when Martin and Veronica met; their second meeting; when Martin brought her flowers; when they kissed at the restaurant, and other moments they've had. After the song ends, Martin asks Veronica to marry him and gives her the engagement ring. Veronica of course accepts to marry him. Applause all around. Martin puts the ring on Veronica's finger. Claudia reluctantly has to applaud although we know she's fuming on the inside. The two lovebirds kiss. Jorge goes over towards Veronica and Martin and tells Martin that he hopes that he'll make Veronica happy. Martin hopes so too and says he hopes he'll be the husband Veronica deserves. Salma and Virginia come over to look at the ring. Salma congratulates Veronica. Virginia does too. The vipers leave and Jorge hugs Veronica. Veronica tells Jorge that this is the best present - his hug and affection.

Salma and Virgina talk about the expensive ring. Salma says she was mistaken with Martin. He's not that wild as she thought. "Well, it wouldn't be right for the owner of a gold mine to give a cheap ring.." Virginia says. Virginia laments that the ring ended up on Veronica's finger. Salma who is delusional promises Virginia that when Virginia marries Emi, the parties will be double spectacular. Keep dreaming, Salma...

Montse, Marina, and Pablo congratulate the lovebirds. Pablo thanks Martin for telling him about Mina Escondida. He tells Martin that he fell in love. "Really??" Martin asks. "Yeah, it's a magical place, and besides I found the most prettiest turquoise blue.." Pablo tells Martin. Pablo tells Martin that he'll tell him about that later. Veronica takes Martin to introduce him to some friends. Montse is all happy for Veronica. Montse will be even happier when Pablo gives Mariana her engagement ring. Pablo leaves.. and him leaving like that at the mention of engagement should be a red flag for Mariana that he's just not that into you... 

One of the ranch workers congratulates Veronica in front of Martin and she thanks him. 

Pablo imagines he sees Ana Perla in his sketchbook. 

Mina Escondida
Ana Perla tells Blanquita and Polo that it's been a few days and Pablo still hasn't come back. Blanquita tells Ana Perla not to make too much illusions that Pablo will return so then she won't be as disappointed. Ana Perla tells her cousins that she thinks about Pablo all the time. Blanquita and Polo will pray so Pablo will return. Ana Perla thanks Polo for being so brave and for having sacrificed himself for her. Polo tells her that he'd do it again. Blanquita tells Ana Perla to not be so sad. Ana Perla mentions that she doesn't know what she'll do to be without Pablo. 

Club Prado Castelo
Oh snap. Montse has been looking through Pablo's sketches. Pablo tells her that it's only that - sketches. Montse hopes they don't stay as sketches only. Montse mentions one of the sketches and asks who the sketch is of. She has the face of the angel. Pablo tells Montse that he drew an image he saw at the church. Montse laughs and says that it's good that it's the face of a saint or else Mariana would be sooo jealous...

Martin and Veronica hug and she tells her that she loved all his surprises and his proposals. He calls her "Salome" and Veronica is a little offended by this. Salome was a bad woman who asked for someone's head. Veronica sweetly asks him to not call him that. Salma, Jorge, and Virginia show up. The family will take a portrait. Salma asks Veronica and Virginia about their pendants. Martin asks what pendants and Virginia explains that Jorge gave it to them when they were legally adopted. Virginia has a pendant on (which obviously belongs to Veronica. The viper must have taken it from Veronica's room and when Veronica wasn't looking). Veronica explains that she couldn't find her pendant. She had it with her the day Salma asked them to wear it but now she couldn't find it. Salma whines and tells Veronica that she should have been more careful and blah blah. Veronica apologizes and says that it's probably somewhere with her things but since they had to come to the party she couldn't keep on looking for it. Jorge tells Veronica that he'll have another one made for her. Virginia whines that Veronica did wrong in losing her pendant after Salma reminded them how important they were. Veronica tells Salma that she did want to wear it. She tells Jorge that it was important to her. She feels bad about not having it. Jorge tries to calm things down and Salma continues to whine about it. Veronica wants to take a look at the pendant around Virginia's neck. But Virginia won't let her take a look and covers the pedant up with her hand. Veronica insists on seeing it because her pendant had a scratch on it. Veronica takes a look at the pendant and tells Virginia that the pendant Virginia is wearing is hers. Virginia tells Veronica that she too scratched it a while ago. Is Veronica accusing her of stealing it? Martin the idiot leaves instead of sticking around until Veronica gets to the bottom of this. Veronica says that it's strange that causally the scratch on the pedant is the same. Virginia tells Veronica that she didn't want to make her have a bad moment and if she wants the pedant then here you go. Virginia yanks it off and gives it to Veronica. Virginia tells Veronica that jewelry isn't important to her. Well, they aren't important to Veronica either but this one is because when Jorge gave it to her he told her that she'd be like a daughter. Salma tells Veronica they'll talk about this later and not to make a scene in front of her friends. Jorge and Salma leave. And here is when Virginia shows her claws because when Veronica asks her what she gets in ruining this moment for her, Virginia tells Veronica to her face that what she gets is making Veronica have these bad moments. 

Martin tells Alfredo that Veronica is such a contradiction. She's driving him crazy. Sometime she makes him feel she's an angel and other times she makes him feel that he's mistaken. He tells him that things happen that make him hate her. Alfredo tells him that he told him that he'd go crazy with all of this. Claudia shows up and asks if everything is alright. Martin replies yes. Claudia reminds Martin that she's his friend and will always be there as she strokes his chin seductively. Veronica sees this and gets jealous and asks if she's interrupting. Claudia replies that she isn't and that she was only congratulating him. Claudia congratulates Veronica too. Veronica sarcastically tells Claudia that she can see Claudia is so affectionate when she congratulates. Martin gets upset and asks Veronica what's up. First she makes Virginia feel bad and now Claudia. Veronica looks ashamed and hurt with his words. Alfredo tells Martin that it's normal for Veronica to react this way because she hardly knows Claudia. He tells his friend that he can't have too much confidence with someone not even if she's his friend. Veronica thanks Alfredo for backing her up but says that Martin is right. Veronica apologizes to Claudia. Veronica says that it's absurd that she get upset when Martin has just proposed to her in front of everyone. Claudia and Alfredo leave for a drink. Now alone, Veronica asks Martin to forgive her. She explains that Virginia made her feel bad. He asks her if it's true that the pedant is her. Veronica swears that it is. She doesn't know how it got into Virginia's hands but it belongs to her. He mumbles something which I don't quite get except for the end where he says something about her driving him crazy. She apologizes to him. She wanted this day to be perfect. He tells her that we can't control everything. People won't always behave like we want. Veronica is puzzled and asks what the heck he's talking about. She tells him that she thinks she's the one that will go crazy with his comments. Hey, Veronica these comments should be red flags for you.... They are interrupted when someone comes to congratulate them. Veronica then notices Emi wandering around drunk. Veronica tells Martin that she thinks she saw Emi. But didn't she say that he wouldn't come? Martin asks. Veronica says she was probably mistaken. Veronica tells Martin that they should just forget everything. Martin kisses her. 

Mariana and Virginia chat. Virginia gets upset because Mariana backs up Veronica. Mariana wants Virginia to understand that in these events the bride is always so nervous. Virginia acts innocent and says that if Veronica treated her like this now, imagine how she'll treat her the day of the wedding. 

Martin asks for everyone's attention and calls Veronica to his side for a surprise. Martin tells Veronica that he told her that he'd give her all she deserves. And the first thing that a queen should have is a horse.  The workers bring out a horse which Martin has named Salome. "Salome?" Veronica asks. She tells Martin it's too much. Virginia fumes over the expensive gift and Mariana mentions to Pablo how romantic the gift is. Well, Pablo thinks all horses are the same but if Mariana wants he could give her a pony... Jorge now knows why Martin wanted another horse. Martin tells Veronica that on this day he gives her something that she loves the most. Something that unities them. He introduces the horse Salome to everyone. Claudia can't stand all this anymore and wants to leave. Alfredo reminds her that he told her to find someone else or she'll suffer. 

It's nighttime. Veronica tells Martin again that all this is too much. He tells her that he doesn't think anything is too much for her. Besides he told her uncle that he'd treat her like she deserves. She tells him that she loved the horse. He tells her to be careful because the horse has the same attitude as Sanson who he happened to buy also. Veronica tells Martin how special Sanson is because thanks to Sanson she met him. It's also special to Martin. Veronica can only think of how they'll do everything together. Just then Emi shows up and crashes the party. He's drunk and wants to makes a toast for the bride and groom. Montse comments to Salma about Emi supposedly being away on trip and on how Emi looks drunk. Salma tries to stop his son from making a scene but it's useless so she runs to Daddy Jorge to stop Emi. Emi tells Veronica he has to congratulate her. It's a beautiful horse that Martin gave her. It reminded him of the day that his father gave them their own horses. Doesn't she remember? That day they promised they'd be together always and no one would separate them. But everything was a lie. Veronica asks him what the heck he's talking about. Emi mentions how there have been many men who have gotten in between them. Veronica gets angry and tells him to shut up before he says something that he'll regret. But he already has, Veronica.. Emi wants to toast because Martin doesn't care that his fiancee is a.... Martin has had it and yells at Emi to stop it already. Emi asks Martin if he really wants to marry Veronica. "Yes I do" Martin tells Emi getting all up on Emi's face. Emi tells him that he did good in naming the horse Salome because Veronica is like that - a seductress and a deceiver. Martin grabs Emi by the lapels and looks all crazy eyes at him and tells him to stop it. Veronica has tears in her eyes.

AVANCES: Claudia in sexy lingerie in a place that I dare not mention; Emi wants a rematch with Martin right then and there at the engagement party; MUST SEE TV.

Obnoxious beligerent drunks ALWAYS need a punch in the face and a follow up kick in the nuts to sober them up. Is this 'tough love' somehow forbidden at Mexican engagement parties? Sure as he double L aint off limits here in FloriDuh. .

Did DimwitB really take notice of the V-pendant issues? I wasn't sure. Too bad he couldn't have had Vsnake's pendant in his pocket to give to her in front of everyone, announcing that he had taken it off DimwitA's cold stiff corpse.
 

LatinainMD. Thanks so much for filling in. We all appreciate your hard work. Without the recaps I could not even follow this TN.
 

Thank you Latina, you got everything of importance in here and great for coming off the bench.

What the hell is matter with Martin. Even Jorge and Salma knew Virginia was lying about the pendant so shouldn't that mean the girl with the missing pendant Virginia? Of course not, Martin doesn't want to woo Virginia much less punish her for anything. He'd prefer to passively/aggressively slut shame Veronica and get butthurt when Emi blatantly does the same.

How much gold is that mine pumping out or did Martin put those ponies and ring on his charge card?

And the Padre, shaming Nanci for stepping out to retrieve the morning paper in her jammies?

Claudia is kinda creepy.

Loved it Manuel got busted but the poor kid will pay for it.

Hope tonight is the night Magdalena finally leaves on her quest, what she waiting on? Cannot be cash cause Martin is already blowing his.

 

@Kirby - glad to help. I think Martin did take notice of the argument. But his mind is already set about Veronica - we have to suspend our disbelief about his apparent lack of inquisitiveness, for the sake of this storyline. Tighten up that beanie.

@tofie - Martin already made his fortune, so to speak. He owns a construction company and I think we have to assume he has done well for himself, since he can afford to even work on charity projects, as mentioned in previous episodes. But I think a construction company is hardly on par with a prestigious chain of jewelry stores and other businesses owned by the Prado Castelos, and nothing says RICH like a mine of gold. But you are right, he sure is blowing his money, because he just barely inherited the mine and it is only now beginning to produce decent amounts of gold.
 

Red Flags, meet Veronica ...
Veronica, meet Red Flags ... they're all over the place!!

Just to name a few:
1) His passive/aggressiveness
2) Calling her "Salome"
3) Stalking off angrily in front of everybody after HER argument with Virgi
4) Allowing the leech to caress HIS FACE (!!) to "comfort" him, again, in full view of everyone
5) Getting on VERONICA's case about "being rude" to said leech
6) And there were many more red flags

It's frustrating that she doesn't see any of these and is blindly continuing into, not a "hell of a marriage" in a good way, but into the marriage from hell in the worst way.
 

Thanks for filling in Latina. Greatly appreciated.

Latina MD. from yesterday---Gringo I was starting to wonder if you too had decided to jump ship despite your Mexican goddess being on board this particular ship.
Gringo says NEVER!!! If Carlos can be faithfully drinking lemonade at the double V table (Virginia Viper) then for sure I can be faithful to the Mexican goddess. Besides, I think that AB likes ageing gringos.
Yesterday I had to take a trek to the dentist.

Wow! Can't they even have an engagement party without all the fighting? Ok, it adds to the story, I know but I just hate to see Veronica in tears. A goddess should never have to cry.

A horse named Salome--not good. A bad omen?

Thanks for the recap. I watched this episode last night when it aired and barely understood what was going on, but after reading this it all makes sense. Thanks!
 

Everyone, please make sure to THANK MAURICIO from this point forward. He went to the trouble of writing a full recap of #14 despite also having recapping duty of #15. The above detailed recap is his, but I posted it in lieu of the emergency bullet points I put up this morning. Thank you, Mauricio.

LatinaInMD
 

@gringo - I am so relieved that you are here and only temporarily away due to your trek to the dentist. I'm glad to hear you remain firmly at Vero's, or AB's, table.
 

Mauricio---Thank you so much, I didn't know. Glad you are on the team.
the gringo
 

Great recap, Mauricio. Thank you.

I've had enough of stupid Martin repeatedly saying he's going to treat Veronica "like she deserves." It's obvious (only to us, of course) WHAT he thinks she deserves. Can't stand him.
 

Mauricio, wow. Thank you so much for all the detail.

"Luckily, Demetrio bit the dust or else we'd have to deal with Pablo Montero singing again..." Lordy, I was thinking exactly the same.

"For what?? So she can confess her sin of coming outside in her nightgown??" What is up with these people? I knew that beady eyes priest no different but he probably hits that same strip club Emi was in when he goes to the city.

Doesn't Veronica have any friends? I mean friends that would pull her aside and point out just how dangerous it is to marry Martin. She says over and over again she is ok with simple, yet he continues to shower her with expensive things, constantly attempts to trip her up with double speak and quick to chide her over the simplest thing. Get ready Veronica, this is the type that will lock you in your room, smack you around and convince you it is your fault he hit you. At least Emiliano is right out front with his ire. If Alfredo has any decency he'll pass her an anonymous tip.

Oh, I laughed when the comment was made about using the river boats to transport the gold.

 

Mauricio- thank you for the recap! I was trying to figure out why I dislike everyone in this novela and then I read the comments yesterday and there I was it- ALL THE MEN IN THIS NOVELA ARE JERKS!
 

Tofie: Claudia is kinda creepy. YAAAAA. WTF with her and this leg moisturizer thing anyway.? That in itself is , well, for lack of a better word....odd. OK we all know you got a pretty nice set of sticks, but pleeeease. If I'M gonna crush on some pain in the arse chick my crushing will be wasted on little Mariana. She's bout to get dumped anyway looks like.
 

Poor color blind (red flags) VeRUNica. But no one is holding a gun to her head. She is making a life-changing mistake all on her own.
 

Thanks for this excellent comprehensive recap, Mauricio. Well done.

Didn't Martín have a very strong objection to Verónica's feelings of closeness to Emiliano and state that he doesn't want that to continue because of his jealous possessiveness? And yet now it's not OK for her to express similar feelings about his relationship with Claudia?

Naming the mare (what a beautiful animal) Salomé is one thing, but calling Verónica Salomé (on the day that he officially asks her to marry him no less) is quite another. And have we seen him actually declare his love for her even once?

Thanks for that fabulous fill-in, Mauricio. It's a little hard to root for the "love" between Martin and Ver at this point. Waiting for the jungle magic to kick in.

Speaking of jungle, I'm blank on V snake's original meeting with Dimetrio. Anyone take pity on me remind me what happened?
 

Thanks LatinaInMD for posting up a page so we discuss and for the recap that you had written. And thanks everyone for all the comments.

This was a good episode. I loved how we got some backstory on the pendants. Martin should have stuck around until Veronica got to the bottom of Virginia stealing and wearing the pendant that belonged to Veronica but instead he just left.

I have a bad feeling about the gold being sent out of Mina Escondida with Uspin's boat service.
 

Carlos - You are so right that Martin does not get a pass. He is just as bad or worse than the others. I'm not liking his double meanings with the things he tells Veronica and with what he has planned. He will sure be sorry when he finds out the truth.
 

La Paloma - Demetrio worked for the Prado Castelo's as the administrator. Demetrio and Virginia must have met either at the company or at the house when Demetrio went there for business.
 

LatinaInMD - I forgot to mention that I loved the title. It was perfect for this episode.
 

Dimwit and his brother Stupidshit.
 

Thanks, Mauricio. I do have a faint memory of that, somehow think of Dim as always at the gold mine.
 

LatinInMD Thanks for the recap,very informative.
There seems to be a lot of red flags at that engagement party, but nobody is paying attention especially the people that should be, it's going right over their heads. The big day is next week.
Beautifull bride, handsome groom, DISASTER!!!!!! MAYBE. to bed I go. ;-)
 

Thanks to both LatinaInMD AND Mauricio! Grateful to both. I have to say, I came for the Novela's but I stay for the patio!

I have to agree that all men in TNs suck! Certainly in this one... maybe Alfredo is ok? The guy who works at the club who congratulated Vero on her engagement? We have yet to meet one guy in this show that's worthy of... anyone or anything!

Re Martin and Vero and the red flags, I think if you are going to watch this at all it requires the special caray caray beanie. Completely unbelievable that anyone as smart as Veronica is supposed to be would marry a guy that she's known, what-- for a weekend? And I think of how we'll have to sit through him hurting her, him finding out his screw up, her leaving him and her winning him back (well, at least that is what my TN experience has taught me-- it's not a spoiler, just an assumption).... Thank goodness you guys are so entertaining or I would definitely not have the patience for this.

And I'm really bothered by stupid Pablo. At least Martin is openly and aggressively trying to be an schmuck. Pablo should have broken up with Marianna when she first started talking about getting married, but certainly after meeting Ana Perla. Definitely schmuck material. My favorite character might just be Blanquita right now.

Thanks again to all,
Rebecca
