Caray, Caray!

How in the world did Diana find out about Abigail being Renata's daughter ?

I'm expecting her to blackmail Renata tonight!
 

Steve, Mac and Ren were talking so Ren overheard them in which Mac admits that Abi is not her daughter.
 

This was from the last two episodes I think
 

Steve
Dianaconda was hiding behind a conveniently situated column in the kitchen when she heard Macaria tell Renata that 'of course' she knew what was up with Fausto and Abigail but she could care less because Abigail wasn't her daughter and she was staying out of it. Then Dianaconda slithered out of the kitchen before Renata noticed her.

Is this Novela running it's normal planned course? I'm wondering because alot has been left out from the previous versions. And this ending is happening like wild fire. Does anyone know?
Is it being cut short for some reason.?
 

Victoria, I wouldnt know for sure but most of the novela is a carbon copy with minor differences but the older one had more depth because the characters were more charming. Cesar Evora was better in his role as the main villian than Sergio Goyri IMO.His presence was more felt than anything we have seen from Faust.Aside from negative energy that is.
 

A reminder about the rules.

Thank you, CountxAlacran for your work on this show.
 

Countx, thank you it is such a pleasure to receive a personal answer from one of my favorite recappers.

Yes you are so right!!! Cesar Evora was superb! !!!
 

Thanks, Count for the rapid refire! Good stuff!

Victoria Gomez: It remains to be seen if Patricio knew about the sperm switch or not. I don't remember that as part of the scene last Friday but so much has happened. I suppose he had to.
 

It's funny, we oftentimes complain about extended storylines or sloppy, chopped up editing jobs, but I think this novela was just getting juicy!


Now what to watch next?? Azteca isn't even filming anything until next year!
 

Steve, the reminder is right up there. You have no excuse. We've spoken about this several times. You seem to be enjoying the conversation, but ignoring the fact that recaps even exist. If this is a problem for you, then you need to speak up and explain on Blog Mom's post.
 

Atleast the novela is not ending on 160's or even 190's.

To answer Steve's missing question, she already knows the truth about Ren being her mother but she has no clue yet about Diego or Faust's murdereous spree. Neither does anyone know yet of the secret casino and all the illegal lands except Devil Dad.
 

Well atleast no one in the family. Marc knows both of the lands and the casino. I do wonder why has he been keeping quiet about it.Perhaps he fears The Devil's touch too much for him and his ex wife..
 

Is Fausto going to try to swing Mac's way or toward Dianaconda? What say you all?
 

Victoria, in my opinion to no one. To me this seems like an attempt of killing both flies with one rock. He probably wants to avenge himself on both of the gals for betraying him ( Diana for sleeping with Lucio and Mac for swaying the "dad" BS into Abi). He also uses them for convinience , to get eyes and ears to hear but most importantly so that they KILL eachother. ( Although this might have just signed his death sentence)
 

Countx- Thanks for another great rundown of what happened this week! We're benefiting from your summer vacation.

Victoria- ITA with what Countx said. Fausto is just using both Diana and Mac and has no intention of marrying either of them. He'll use him for his purposed (to destroy Ren) and then he'll throw them away (have them killed or have them kill each other).

I was so glad that Mat told Abi the truth about Ren and especially glad that Abi decided to forgive Ren for lying. Yay! I was not happy that Mat couldn't forgive Elena. What's he mad about? Did he really want to have Fausto as a daddy growing up? It was bad enough having him for an uncle.

Why in the heck didn't the four adults in that room call the police on rapist Fausto? They had Abi's ripped dress and bruising and bleeding as proof, and their own accounts of what happened. Did they really feel it was enough to just tell him to leave? Good grief!

And did Mat really think it was appropriate to proposition Abi merely minutes after his father brutally attempted to rape her? Good grief!

I hope the plan Max is cooking up with Daniela is to frame Ximena for Porf's murder, and send pregnant Dani off into the sunset with a big stash of Porf's money. Not like any of that is moral or right, but it would be a kind of poetic justice for Ximena.

 

Thanks Vivi and I too felt angry when Ren only told Faust to leave instead of calling the police on him. Geez it's not like they are that far away. This would have put The Devil years behind bars or atleast warrant for his immunity to be taken off.( Don't institutions investigate abuses of power?)

I felt more angry at Max than at Mat to be honest. I know it's not good but Max is taking it so easily. It's like nothing have happened. He was a participant in Porf's murder and that 'll send him in bars just after he has married the love of his life ,. Perhaps Daniela will lie that she forced Max into helping covering the crime. Then Daniela gets sent to a mental institution or something. Xi might go in jail for coercing the murder of her parents despite the fact that they were abusive POS .
 

Thanks Countx, awesome recap. Vivi, I am with you on their handling of Abi's abuse. Perfect opportunity to get Fausto arrested and they just stand there, looking vacant. Matt had the right idea. Blow his head off, solve the Fausto problem and end the show hmmmm. Helena intervenes again as always. No wonder Matt can't forgive her. The switching of partners sickens me as it makes no sense. If Abi now knows that Marc is not her mom, how is she going to help Fausto? If Matt is divorced from Diana, how is she of any use. Both women are not using their evil brain cells. Max is a classic case of nature versus nurture. He was so desperate to be like his father but his father the killer intervened. His adopted family have been nothing but good to him and yet his revenge for his biological father consumes him. Fausto is the one who killed Lucio but his anger is directed at his uncle. Am I missing something? His lack of remorse at Porf's death disturbed me. Poor Teo, she deserves better.

Thank you Countx for the recap.

Did all the people in the room seriously not call the police after Abi was assaulted, are we supposed to believe that Fausto should get off on just about everything from rape to murder.

Good thing Abi forgave Ren. Mateo really shouldn't be angry at his mom ,she saved from a lifetime of a hellish father, he should be grateful.

Max keeps doing stupid things, when he is on his redemption path he kills someone again out of revenge for a guy he was terrible to the woman he loves, does he not think about Teodora, I don't now how they will get their happy ending without hum getting his anvil probably going to jail.

Diana is probably going to using her new finding to blackmail Renata.


 

Thanks Hanna and Anon. I suppose Abi will be forced to help Faust but if she is smart she should hire a good lawyer. Not Marcelino cause he is not to be trusted. I too sont know why they all sit still. If Connie was there she would have kicked the apeshit out of Fausto. Max's revenge is unreasonable and is going to inevitably get him in jail. He should just report his crimes and done. Everyone is so disturbingly afraid of The Devil. it may have been reasonable at first but now the fear is getting meaningless. Fausto is a wicked monster and he needs to be detained PUNTO

I suppose Diana will begin the demand on the kids . She will probably be screaming the truth from the rooftops. Still wonder if the kids are Fausto's.

 

And the stupid thing about Fausto, Mac, and Diana blackmailing Renata with the Abi secret is now ABI KNOWS! And she doesn't care. But since Renata doesn't know Abi knows, she'll be spinning her wheels trying to hide the truth and keep these wolves (Fausto, Mac, Diana) happy at the same time.
 

Thank you Count---You won again with another great recap.

I liked and agreed with your comment about Max. He entered the novela very brash and arrogant, as if he owned the town and everyone in it. Especially the ladies. He then settled down and came to his senses and started acting pretty decent. Now, he's in killer mode. All I can say is I feel sorry for Teodora. She's a sweet young lady. Too bad she doesn't have 3D vision.

Count you did it again with another great line---The Deadly Harpies are gonna be fighting for satan's approval. Won't that be something? I can't hardly wait for that twelve rounder.

This is the most screwed up little town that I have ever seen. It makes Peyton Place seem almost like a suburb of heaven.

The poor sheriff. I don't see how he could ever get things straightened out and the town running on normal. There's little hope for this pueblo.

Must see tv tonight. Where is this all going is the question.

Steve, even if Diana tries to blackmail Ren, it won't work. Abi already knows the truth and is surprisingly willing to forgive Ren even without knowing all the details (that Bruno and Mac conspired against Ren). Abi didn't try to ask Mateo if he knew more details but I assume she will wait to talk to Ren.

I agree with everyone about Max. I was rooting for him, but now I'm not so sure what his fate will be.

Count is right about Fausto. He doesn't intend on pleasing neither Diana nor Macaria. He probably does want them to kill each other over him. And unfortunately both women are stupid enough to believe him. You'd think they'd have learned by now but they both keep going back for more.

I liked Mateo's line to Elena: "Que te perdone dios".
 

TF- The blackmail can work because Renata doesn't know Abi knows. She still thinks she has to keep the truth from Abi and may buckle under the blackmail of the Devil and his handmaidens to do so.
 

Count, great recap, thanks! I always love reading your snarky remarks.

ITA, with everyone about Max. I actually don't know what will happen with him. I feel really bad for Teodora.

I am glad Abi knows that Ren is her mom, but I was surprised that Mat told her.

Hasta pronto









 

Oh yeah, what's up with not reporting the sexual assault? I too was waiting for someone to call Barrigan. There was the "Mat, I am your father" revelation, but still, Fausto needed to be charged and taken to jail. Punto!

 

Count, great title. It sums up the feelings of many who have commented, plus my own.

How can Mateo get on such a high horse when he, too, has made some questionable choices? Just like the Simona/Tono situation, a lifetime of devoted motherhood came after the big deal/scandal/poor choice/whatever. But that means nothing all of a sudden. I mean, some anger and confusion, yes, but outright repudiation? No. Mat is acting like a Tono 2.0, which technically makes him Lucio 3.0. Or 2.1, that's a better fit.

Now every living person, INCLUDING Abi knows Renata's secret. For such a long time only Abi didn't know. But just when we thought it was safe to go back in the water, Renata doesn't know Abi knows, so more angst. I too was surprised that Mat spilled it.

So Mac didn't know Mateo was Fausto's son, huh? Her and Diana are so desperate and dumb. Could one or both of them be wise to Fausto? I mean how many betrayals and attempted murders does it take? It would be cool if they were in cahoots, but they have been hating on each other pretty bad lately, and I don't see when they had a chance to get together with a plan.

I'm confused on the Xi-ela situation. Where is Ximena currently? Had she agreed to the pregnancy and its implications, or did Daniela pull that off solo? And was Porfis telling the truth when he said it was Pat's baby, or was he just trying to save himself? And I guess it's over between X-ela and Fausto, thanks to Daniela.

I didn't know that Julian had taken The Picture of Diana and Lucio. Di is not happy with him.

I can actually watch tonight, on a Wednesday. See you then!
