No Empty Threats, Or, ADmit It! We're All Just Swimming In Swill!
Simona
wishes Violeta luck with her job interview.
While Motor
and Toño chug a couple of chilled ones back at Simona’s place, Tony tells
Motor that Daddy Dearest is going to get his clock cleaned for dipping his wick
where others had not feared to tread. Motor
mentions Teodora’s rape and Tony isn’t pleased.
Diana, down
in the dumps and feelin’ dumpy, is still looking for love in all the wrong
places. She sits in Lucio’s humbling
hovel waiting for him to load her up on compliments. (Guess being preggers is not always all it’s
cracked up to be, Dee Dee.) Once she
leaves, Lucio goes rooting around in Max’s box of inherited jewels for a
necklace to please Dee with. The one he
comes up with looks like it could pay for all of Max’s cancer treatments and
then some.
Vi’s voice and
La Mano Negra convince Julian-lio that he should give her a two week trial at
his club. Mano looks like he’s
interested in her and chats her up a bit.
Fausto is
convinced that Max is “El Anonimo” and he pays a visit to Macaria having
decided that they should become lovers again—frenemies of sorts--she’s an enemy
equally vile, vicious, and conniving as he is, he tells her. He’d rather keep her close if they can work
together again. They seal the deal with
a seductive roll in the sack—her price for her loyalty. She promises
him again to let him have one go with Abigail as proof of her “loyalty” and
love. A moment or two after they’re done
doin’ the deed and in the middle of “afterglow”, Renata walks right into Mac’s
brick cottage unannounced and is looking for Abi. Feisty is forced to flee the scene by
sneaking past. Ren thinks she smells his
aftershave but Mac swears he’s been nowhere around her place recently.
Later in
the day Mateo gripes at Mac for knowing about his wife’s affair with his uncle
and never saying anything. Mac hides
behind the excuse that she tried telling him way back when they dated but he
wouldn’t listen. He asks if she knows
whether they carried on the affair even after they got married, but Mac plays
dumb on that score. But, not happy unless
she’s getting under somebody’s skin, she goads him by saying that Abi, as
nothing more than a maid’s daughter cannot expect any serious relationship from
her beauty and will probably end up some rich man’s mistress. Mat goes ballistic and begins shaking the
be-jesus out of her for it. “—Why do you
always say those terrible things about your own daughter??? Is that what you want? To sell her??? Huh?”
Feisty
walks in and saves Mac’s bacon. Mat’s
forced to stomp out of the kitchen knowing he’s too much of a gentleman to give
Mac the beat-down she deserves.
Across the
way, Abi brings Max back to his humble abode and waits with him while he vomits
and then puts him to bed.
Back in the
hacienda’s kitchen, Macaria plays Ms. Innocent and cannot imagine why Mat’s in
such a foul mood. She complains that
they’re both so obviously in love with her daughter and both of them get so
testy over it! Feisty grabs her by the
throat and threatens her if she dares trying to play both ends against the
middle when it comes to Mat and him.
They’ve just reconciled, but she’s not beyond his reach. “--Don’t threaten me! I’m not afraid of death or of jail.” “—No, I won’t bother killing you. If you dare betray me again I’ll gouge your eyes out
with my own hands so you’ll live in the same darkness as Renata! Ha, so you are afraid of that, aren’t you?”
Outside the
manse, meanwhile, Dee is moping on one of the benches in the back garden when
Lucio comes trotting up. He fills her
full of flattery and hands her the necklace to cheer her up. He races off when Helena comes up the
walkway. Hellie admires her
daughter-in-law’s necklace and helps Di put it on. She asks where it came from and Di says she
inherited it from Tía Mia. Hellie says
she honestly doesn’t know if she could ever trust Di again.
Di again swears by all that’s sacred that she
never was involved with anyone after she felt hopelessly in love and married
Mat; she then sways the conversation towards making mistakes and keeping secrets
and the tone takes on a guilefully menacing air. “—Everyone has made mistakes and some have
been kept secret. Haven’t you got some
secrets of your own? I thought there was
something in the hospital but I didn’t really hear well. I supported you despite not knowing what
secret you were hiding and I did it because I love you, Helena.”
Having finished
with weak-minded and insecure Hellie, Di then walks into the living room to
find Feisty lost in thought. All the
better to nag him over Abi once again. “—All
you managed to do was to drive my husband and her even closer together. In fact they are sleeping together. I caught her in his bed while he was taking a
bath!” “—You’ll have to help me drive them apart.” Not a chance. Your wife and your son and your
problem!! He asks her to keep her mouth
shut or at least to lower her voice. “—It’s
okay with me if they all hear me!! If
you’re going to drag me through the mud I will do the same. I’ve got no reason to protect your secrets
from my husband!” Of course, speak of the King of Rome and who should appear
wanting to know what secrets she’s talking about.
Lucio
finally arrives back home. Abi rudely gets
ready to leave him with Max and as he tries stopping her, she warns him to keep
his hands off her. He asks why she’s
always got to be so catty and rude around him.
All he wants to do is to thank her for going with him to the
treatment. He’d wanted to but Max wouldn’t
let him, he admits. “—I’m sure he’s got
his reasons!” she sneers at him as she walks out the door.
Hellie walks into the living room right behind
Mat. Instead of acting guilty as sin, Fausto artfully turns the tables on Mat telling Hellie and him that Mat had better not
take advantage of a decent young woman like Abi, especially under his
roof. He has no business as a married
man sleeping with her! Mat starts
snickering. “—You are telling me
that???!!! After hopping into bed with
everything in skirts your entire married life??? You who has admitted to having an affair with
my wife when we were dating???” At least
it wasn’t under Renata’s roof, says Feisty in his defense. Mat is quick on the uptake. NO, you simply were courteous enough to carry
on across the way at La Enramada, right my love?”
Di tells
him enough already! “--I will not allow
you to talk to me or this way! I swear I
have been completely faithful to you during our marriage. What do I have to do to convince you?” Mat tells her there’s not a thing in the
world that would do it for him now. There’s
no reason for you to console yourself in your mistress’s arms, she
continues. (Her tía must be smiling up
at her from Hell itself, Di’s acting is so flawless.) “—She is not my mistress!!” “—Oh, don’t tell me you did nothing but talk
all night long!” “—That’s exactly what
we did!” Feisty jumps in here and warns
Mat he’d better respect Abi or else! “—The
same goes for you! You’d better watch
what you do around her because I’m going to be watching you!” Mat and his Mama exit stage right.
Fausto
advises DeeDee to get her hubby and move the heck out of the hacienda or
else. Nothin’ doin’, spits back
Dee. “--You still haven’t begun to pay
for all the harm you’ve done me, Fausto!
And you know how I am going to collect?
I am going to make sure that that idiot Abigail is never going to get
it on with you! Never!!”
Upstairs in
Mat’s room, Hellie gives Mat The Talk about sleeping with a single girl. Mat plays The Troubled Teen and tries making
his mama understand that it was a harmless hug through the night and nothing
more happened. “--What the heck is wrong
since I’m going to marry her as soon as I get divorced.” And the two children? “--There’s a good chance they aren’t mine,
but if they are they will be taken care of their whole life long. But my kids or not, this marriage is at an
end!”
Hellie isn’t satisfied. She
continues defending Di’s supposed “luhhhhv” for him and he cannot understand
why she is. Hellie explains that we’ve
all made mistakes. Even I have. No, says Mat.
It’s not the same thing. She didn’t
cheat on one man while engaged to another!
It’s totally unforgivable! You
can defend her however you like, even though it’s going to break my heart. But there is no way I can ever stick it out
with a woman I despise as much as Diana!
And nothing and no one can ever make me change my mind!!
Naive Nieves and
Teo visit Diego in prison. (Yawn.
FF>>FF>>)
Lucio
worries over Max. He tries encouraging
him to make another play for Abi but Max nixes that in the bud. Lucio and he discuss selling the jewels for
his therapy rather than him doing any more “jobs” for Fausto. Lucio promises only one more and then nothing
else and Max won’t have to use his mama’s jewelry. But no, it doesn’t involve killing anybody
this time. (Some good news for a change. Right
Maxie?)
Abi
remembers Mac’s sob story making her believe that Fausto is her father and that he despised her because she was a maid’s illegitimate daughter. Fausto joins Abi in the garden and scolds her
for sleeping with Mat. She tells him it’s
her business. She’s a big girl now and
she’s not sorry about anything since nothing happened. He asks her what her feelings are for Mateo
but she refuses to discuss it with him. Rather,
she wants to know what Feisty feels
for her. (Ruh-Rohhhhhh!!!!!)

Thank you Jardinera! What a pleasant surprise.
I thought the scene with Lucio feeding Max and fretting over him was too much. We know that Lucio really cares for him, but he is still irredeemable due to all the killing and the rape of Teodora. I can't stand how what he did to her is always minimized, and his crimes when mentioned are just the murders.
Ultimate semanas were announced! I'm so glad. How long does that mean? Some things will get wrapped up, some will drag to the bitter end, and then there are usually some new hurdles that are overcome in the very last episode.
Who will get redeemed? I think Diana since she never did much wrong, nothing violent, just devious and her worst victim was her most cooperative facilitator (Mat).

Jardinera- Thank you so much for this great recap. I was surprised to hear ultimas semanas announced, but very pleased. Perhaps things will start moving in these last four or so weeks.
I am very ready for all these women duped, enthralled by, and dominated by Fausto to wise up and fight back.
Ok, three strong young men, who care about Teo, now know she was raped by Lucio, and Lucio still hasn't received a beating? These guys are useless.

Thanks to TF for Wed. Recap. It's posted in the recap portion with credits.

Big question for everyone around here: How long before Fausto kidnaps Abigail & does horrific things to her to satisfy his twisted fantasies ?
Thanks for the recap Jardinera. Mat grows a spine finally hopefully it stays in place. Can't wait for Fausto, Lucio and Mac to get major anvils dropping on them, especially Lucio for what he did to Teo, including separating her from Max

I hope Renata's secret surgery stays secret and is successful. Then I hope she keeps it a secret and pretends to still be blind when she's around Fausto, Lucio, Macaria and Diana when they show their true colors, especially Fausto when he rolls his eyes and Macaria when she moves all around her and makes faces at her. Then say something that will freak them out, like, "What was that look about? I FEEL like you just did something disrespectful. Why are you moving around so much? I can HEAR the whisper of your movement in the air." Or walk in on Fausto and Diana, sniff, and say, "What are you doing here with my husband, Diana?"

A nice surprise Jardinera---thank you so much.
So Mateo tells Fausto to stay away from Abi. Right, Fausto must be scared. Well it's big Mat you know.
What I want to know---maybe there is no answer but how will Abi ever get her ranch house built? Since the beautiful old one was burnt to the ground and clever Fausto wants 50% of a new one. If Fausto gets his much deserved anvil, where will the money
for a new rancho come from?

Thanks for this excellent recap, Jardinera. Very informative and as always, very entertaining and amusing.
gringo,
Was the house at Enramada destroyed? I thought that only the vineyard was torched. As for the house, if it burned, surely it was covered by insurance.
TN4ever,
I also think that Diana may be redeemed but not without some form of punishment. It has been stressed that there may be neurological damage to the twins as a result of her cardiac arrest. Perhaps blindness since this is one of the central themes?
I'm hoping for redemption for Macaria as well. I know... unlikely.

Carlos: I don't see Diana being redeemed EVER anytime soon because she's way too deep in the scheming, manipulating & cheating departments!
Second, Macaria might end up dead before she can expose Fausto's secrets. She knows he killed Pablo!
Third, Lucio needs a major anvil!

La Enramada wasn't burned to the ground or affected by the fire. The fire only hit the vineyards because that's what Lucio paid the workers to do using Fausto's money and on Fausto's orders. This gave Fausto another way to tie himself to Abigail, now that they are 50/50 partner, he has all the reason in the world to be touchy/feely with her. And she is so stupid she still thinks Fausto is her dad. Are we going to be subjected to another rape scene to get this plot line corrected ??
While Fausto slobbers all over Abigail, I think its worse listening to a "surrogate" mother try to pawn her daughter to the highest bidder.
So many things have to be resolved, people killed off, and some redeemed; and it's Últimas Semanas already. Usually it has been that Televisa convention to post "Últimas Semanas" with only four weeks to go.
I'm afraid we can expect one big two hour bomb at the end.!
IMO, it will be a mess and ruin whatever good we liked about the novela.

I thought it was La Enramada that was torched and Fausto offered to be equal partners (ownership) 50/50 in helping Abi rebuild. Well whatever, the dirty old man is getting ready to put the moves on young Abigail.

Victoria: Fausto reminds me of Severiano, who actually slobbered & raped Aldonza in LSDP.
I'm actually worried that Fausto might just rape her & get her pregnant!

OH PLEASE!!! Let's hope not, not Abi. I don't want to even think about dirty old Fausto with Abigail. NO!! PLEASE NO!! Let him have Macaria, they deserve each other

Gringo, I'm pretty sure Helena said she didn't wish to go back to stay at La Enramada because the house was too big and lonely for her without Mateo and the workers since the fire had damaged the vineyards.
To me, Fausto was talking about just getting his greasy, greedy hands on 50 %, if not all, of all the vineyard earnings since the grapes and wine are the true money makers not the house. He furnishes "Renata's" money, they replant, and some time in the near future WOLA it's BINGO time !! They are in business again. Although I would imagine it might take quite some time for the vineyards to recover and produce quality grapes, after a fire, particularly if the soil hasn't been nourished and turned frequently enough.
