Lo Imperdonable #59 Fri 8/7/15 The Makeup, The Breakup, And The Engagement
(scenes out of order and combined)
Alternative Title: Will The Character Who Isn't An Idiot Please Raise Their Hand...
The Makeup
Vero wanted Marty to look her in the eyes and tell her that he truly believes that she never had anything to do with Dem. Marty NEVER does this. Instead, he sweet talks himself out of the situation -- he tells her how love wonderful is because it heals all wounds -- and he also tells her that he's never loved anyone as much as he loves her. Vero for a like a second tells him that there's no point in the two getting back together if he does not trust him. But as expected she falls for the sweet talk and caves in. The two kiss and makeup once again without resolving any of their issues. For now all is well with them until the next time Crazy Marty makes an appearance which is bound to happen sooner or later. (more on this later...)
Meanwhile in her hotel room, Matilde lights a candle to La Virgencita and prays that Vero finds happiness at the side of a good man. The next morning, she wakes up to find that Vero's bed has not been slept in. Where could her precious niña be? Matilde's prayers have been answered (at least for now) because Vero is with Marty in his room. The two have spent the night together and Marty watches her sleep. She wakes up and kisses him. She asks him to promise her that he'll NEVER do anything to make her want to be far away from him. He promises (and over at The Patio we take on bets on how long it'll be before he breaks this promise just like he has broken all the other promises he has made before). He has her promises that she'll always love him and she promises. The two kiss.
This eventually leads to a scene that Uni cut out. Marty and Vero make love. She complains about her foot a little and when Marty asks her if she thinks they should stop she tells him of course not. Doctor never forbade her from making love.
A little bit later, Marty gives Vero a piggy back ride back to her room. Since Matilde isn't there, Vero jokingly tells Marty that he'll have to bathe her. Marty jokes that it'll be hard because of his arm but he'll do the best he can. Then Vero talks about Magda and how she would to talk to her. She misses her. Marty and Vero get all lovey dovey and fall onto the bed and well we all know what happens next.
The Breakup
Meanwhile over in Mexico City, Magda the fool dumps Botel. Oh and she's very hurtful with the things she tells him that you can't help but feel bad for the guy. First she tells him that she wants to be find her daughter on her own. She doesn't want her daughter to see her with him when she finds her. Then she lays the blame on him for all the years of suffering from being away from her daughter because he's the one that left her daughter behind with Aaron. Botel is left shocked by all this. He can't believe that she's still accusing him of having abandoned her daughter. He wants to know what is really going and he insists that she tell him the truth. And here's when Magda becomes the most hurtful -- she tells him that the truth is that she wants to be away from him because he reminds her of her terrible and miserable past. Botel can't believe that she finds his presence so repulsive. He tells her that all he has ever done is love her. He eventually leaves the room and now alone Magda asks Botel to forgive her but she just couldn't handle it if Aaron were to harm him.
Botel talks with Dr. Del Rio. Botel doesn't know what to do to get Magda back. Del Rio assures him that Magda will come around when she finds her daughter. For now, he does think that Botel should head back home. Dr will take care of Magda and continue with her therapy sessions. Botel will leave enough money for the PI and for Magda's expenses.
Later on, Magda prays for Botel's safety and hopes that he'll take her back once she has found her daughter. Aaron calls her calls and tells her that she did good -- he saw Botel leaving the hotel with his suitcase. He was going to come and see her today but umm something came up. That something is some woman who he's about to get together with. Oh and the worst part of this scene was having to witness yet another semi shirtless scene with someone who we don't need to see shirtless. Gross. Gross. Gross.
The Engagement
OK, so Ana Perla was suffering because of Pablo's dissappearance. A teary eyed Julio visits her and talks to her through the barred window in her room. He know she's suffering because of Pablo. And he hates that outsider for hurting what he loves the most. Yes, that's right -- she's the woman who he loves. Ana Perla is left speechless by this unexpected love confession. He knows she can't love him back but he had to tell her how he feels. He tells her that he'll always love her in silence. He leaves. Ana Perla is left alone to adsorb all of this.
Later on, Ana Perla and Julio are by the river and Ana Perla is really worried that Pablo could have toyed with her emotions. And Julio doesn't make things easier when he tells her that Pablo won't ever come back. Famous last words from Julio because Pablo calls out her name at that very moment. The two rush into each others arms leaving Julio to watch on heartbroken. Julio reprimands Pablo for disappearing on Ana Perla. Then Ana Perla asks Julio to please leave her and Pablo alone so they can talk. She tells Pablo about her fear that he didn't love her anymore after what happened between them. He assures her that he loves her more now. Then he whips out the ring and gets on his knees and he pops the question. Will she marry him?
He gets a little nervous when she doesn't respond immediately but she does respond. Of course she wants to marry him. She kisses him. He puts the ring on her finger (and the ring even glows at one point in a typical Mejia cheesy way). He promises that he'll get her that white shawl that all grooms get their brides in Mina Escondida/Pueblo Nuevo. Ana Perla explains that it represents purity. Then she feels guilty because well you know.. but Pablo tells her that where he's from you can see the purity in the soul. The two kiss again and Julio watches on suffers in silence.
A little later, still by the river, Pablo tells Ana Perla that he'll have to ask for the ring back because he wants to formally ask Gramps for her hand in marriage knowing that it will be a difficult thing to do.
Next day, Pablo visits Gramps. First he apologizes for standing Gramps up by not showing up for the painting session and after Gramps whines and whines about being stood up, Pablo whips out the ring and asks for Ana Perla's hand in marriage.
Surprisingly, Gramps doesn't freak out. Has he turned over a new leaf? Seems like it. Gramps doesn't even care that the ring is cheap one. In fact, he has realized that sometimes money ends up ruining things. What he wants for his granddaughter is a good man who truly loves her. Pablo assures Gramps that he's that man. Gramps tells Pablo that tomorrow they'll have a formal engagement dinner where Pablo will ask for Ana Perla's hand in marriage. Then Pablo leaves. Ana Perla who had been listening in to the whole conversation is all smiles. Gramps hopes he's doing the right thing. (Uh-oh..this can't be good...)
Other Stuff
* Claudia calls up her third galan in her harem - Pierre (Marty being the first galan, Emi being the second, and Manuel the fourth) and she sweet talks him and the fool falls for the sweet talk hook, line, and stinker. She tells him how he was the only one who made her stay in Mina Escondida wonderful. She tells him that she's staying in the city but will miss all the good times the two spent together.
* Teo suspects that Lorenzo is getting between him and Blanquita. And Pierre advises him to speak with Blanquita. But every time Teo tries to talk with Blanquita he feels like his ideas melt when he looks her in the eye. When Pierre tells Teo that he (Teo) never talks things out, Teo reminds Pierre that he (Pierre) never cleared things up with Claudia either.
* We are introduced to a new character - Ramon Cardozo nicknamed Monchito (he's played by Franky Martin who was Lolo on La Tempestad). Monchito and Lorenzo call each other names and almost get into a tussle but Padre breaks them up. Later, Monchito is invited over to Padre's for some food and he practically eats all of Padre's food supply. Apparently, Monchito hasn't eaten in three days and is unemployed. Padre will help him find a job at the mine.
* Vero calls Magda and tells her that she and Marty are back together. She notes that Magda is sad but Magda says she's tired. Magda tells her that her daughter is alive and that she'll look for her alone because Botel is heading back home. Vero is a tad jealous that Magda won't pay any attention to her once she finds her daughter. But Magda assures her that won't happen. Vero is someone special to her and like her daughter.
* Matilde warns Marty to make Vero happy or else he'll have her to deal with. Vero shows up and tells Marty and Matilde that Magda's daughter is alive. Matilde is confused and asks Vero to tell her about this later.
* Matilde and Vero are worried about Emi marrying Virginia the snake. Vero calls up Jorge to warn her about Virginia. But the fool is a major ass to Vero and accuses her of harming Emi. Vero tries to warn him about Virginia and how she'll only hurt Emi but the ass refuses to listen to her and says that Virginia has changed. She has done good to Emi. He doesn't let Vero tell him what happened to her. He tells her that if she needs anything to call him but if she continues to bother Emi well she won't even be welcomed inside the PC mansion anymore. Vero is left in tears and she tells him that she'd never harm them. But if that's what he thinks then she won't bother them anymore. She hangs up on. The old fool is left wondering if he did the correct thing.
* Matilde and Vero talk about Vero's phone conversation with Jorge. Vero hopes that Emi will realize what a snake Virginia is.
* Matilde tells Daniel that Emi and Virginia are getting married. He's NOT happy.
* Delusional Mariana and her mother have practically emptied out all the stores in New York City with things for the wedding. Mariana wants to start preparing the wedding invitations. Montse remembers to tell Mariana that Virginia wanted to talk to her. Mariana is upset that Montse didn't tell her this sooner.
* Jorge the fool is not so sure anymore if he was right in being so hard on Vero. But Salma assures him that he did the right thing. In fact, to celebrate she'll invite him to breakfast (B*tch. Salma needs an anvil and it better be good). When they leave, Virginia who has been eavesdropping comes out of hiding and is all smiles that she's getting her way. But she's not feeling too well.
* Marty talks with Padre Juan and tells him that he'll make Vero happy. Padre is glad to hear this. Nanci overhears the conversation. When Marty leaves, Padre finds Manuel passed out drunk in the confessional booth. The slimeball has drank the church's supply of wine (Poor Padre. He has his hands full with Monchito and Manuel).
* Nanci talks with Marty outside of church. She tells him that she heard that Vero has forgiven him. Nanci tells Marty that she sees more dark clouds, tears, and truths that have not been told. She leaves. Marty tells himself that Nanci is right -- he still hasn't told Vero that he married her for revenge -- but he can't tell her now. (Maybe you should have told her before when you had the chance you idiot...)
* Marty and Vero talk about their new home. Marty has been working on the plans. He goes to fetch them and returns in time to hear Vero telling Matilde that it hurts her that Emi will be marrying Virginia because she's not the woman who will make him happy. Marty reverting to Crazy Marty asks her -- "and just who do you think would make him happy?" (Here we go again...)
* Daniel shows up at the PC mansion and confronts Virginia over her marriage to Emi. When was she going to tell him? She tells him it was all a misunderstanding. She wants him to leave but he won't leave. He gets worried when he notes that she's not feeling well. She insists that it's nothing but he's not convinced. Emi shows up and Virginia passes out.
Avances: Virginia is in the hospital; things aren't looking too good for her.

Very Nice Mauricio. We get one of your witty recaps today.
All I have to say is that Magdalena is entertainingly stooopid, much in the way the hairless one of the three stooges was.

Thank you Mauricio this is awesome. (Here we go again...)
So refreshing to see a couple resolve their issues with candor instead of glossing over the pain and hurt with sex.
Whew, that Magdalena is one for overkill ain't she. I thought she was gonna tell Botel he had a little peepee next.
Somebody get Julio something for his blood pressure, that poor boy bout to pop

Thank you so much! This was beautifully organized and so much fun to read, Mauricio. As usual, you asides were a blast:
"(Maybe you should have told her before when you had the chance you idiot...)"
I don't usually like clowns, but I was glad to see Franky Martin show up. It was fun to be reminded of the good ship Tempestad. (Maybe Mejía can convince sweet William/aka DamFab to stop by. Now there's someone who could give Crazy Marty a run for his money!)
Dr. F's appearance in the PC house was so abrupt, as if a transitional scene, however short, had been deleted. I suppose that means that Botel is back in Mina Escondida.
So Ginny is REALLY sick. That's just so... uh, sad.
Oh, and the PI Aldo doesn't seem to be an idiot. That probably means that he's going to get killed, right?

Always love the cynical, world-wear Mauricio take on our hapless, love-crazed characters. But my favorite line in this one is:
Hook, line and STINKER.
Hah! What a way to skewer both Claudia and the gullible Pierre. Well, why worry..I'm sure if they hook up again, the energetic Claudia will give value for money. She's definitely a game girl.
I find the Magdalena/Botel scenes unwatchable. She's done this sulking it's all your fault number before on a previous visit to Mexico City, without the murderous menace of Aaron. And Lord, I hate her dowdy clothing. At least Aaron dresses her in some sizzling numbers.
Okay. That's my shallow rant for the day. Put your feet up Mauricio...you slogged through another cheesey episode with flair and élan. Works for me. Thanks.

Mauricio- This was a fantastic retelling of the episode. Loved, loved all the snark.
I was SO excited when I started up my recording, just ready for Vero to lay into Marty when she realized he STILL thought she was a liar. But she just rolled over and licked his face. She is so easy to distract and fool! After that, my hand was heavy on the ffwd button, so I didn't hear how Magda ripped into Botel, but could guess what was happening. Poor man. Tofie- LOL! OMG, I am so glad I was not drinking when I read your comment. :)
I'm glad Pablo came back, and with a ring. Let's hope this wedding goes through before there are any pregnancy surprises. Maybe he also got condoms when he got the ring? Ojala!
I don't appreciate them playing the comedy soundtrack when they show drunk Manuel snoozing from the Church wine. This guy is a rapist and a murderer. He is not comic relief.
I know some here gave Jorge a break after he seemed to stand up for Vero recently. But he was dead to me from the moment he first believed Virginia's crap about Vero being a ho, who sneaked men into her bedroom in the house. This is the woman he supposedly loves as a daughter; that he supposedly respects; that he supposedly knows better than anyone else because he watched her grow up AND worked side by side with her each day. Bullsh*t! Now he's telling her she can't come back to her supposed family home because his 50 year old "little boy" can't handle that she doesn't return his creepy crush? He doesn't deserve the title of Uncle or Father.

Thanks, Mauricio, so very well done. I always enjoy and look forward to your witty editorial commentary.
"...something came up. That something is some woman who he's about to get together with."
I'm guessing from the quick glimpse we got of her that this lady may be a dual purpose diversion. The obvious which you point out as well as possibly the new and improved Verónica about to be reunited with her mom (which would provide a wonderful ick to the entire operation).
NovelaMaven,
"So Ginny is REALLY sick. That's just so... uh, sad."
Your heartfelt concern is noted and appreciated here at the Virginia Table.

Thanks so much Mauricio. Great recap again.
I am glad Martin and Vero are back together, but he still doesn't believe her unfortunately. He is so fearful of losing her that's why he can't give a straight answer. So frustrating.
I have a bad feeling that Aaron will kill Botel and maybe Magdalene. I hope not but it seems to be heading that way.

Thanks Mauricio, amazing recap. I'm glad I now know whats happening in these tns, I like em better than the USA Soaps.
Those promises vero and marty made to each other is good but......they don't mean a whole lot if theres no trust. He still thinks shes lying and she knows he doesn't believe her. what the hell kind of relationship is that?
And they are so in love and sweet when they're not fighting and screaming at each other. See, y'all was wrong they stayed together....... the truse lasted a whole.......few hours, LOL!!! :-D. O these two people. What are we going to do with em yall?
When I saw Magda yelling at botel saying all those terrible things, I kind of figured she was trying to make him go away because crazy Aaron threatened to kill him. He's heartbroken but they'll come back together. But there's a whole lot of crap that'll come down before they get back together, and he's probably kicking himself because he left that little girl there, not because he wanted to, but he had to get magda out of there because she was unconscious. Did he (botel) even know she had a daughter at that time?
When I first saw the snake pass out I thought "she's pregnant" and then when I saw the advance I thought well the drugs that Dr. Feelgood gave her to fake the heart problem maybe it has some dyer side effects. Now I'm not jumpin ahead revealing anything, I'm just guessing. with any luck she'll go into a coma and be out of everybody's hair for a while.
I don't like Jorge, he's kind of anoying and wishywashy, he to easily believes the lies about veronica, and then walks it back and selma talks him into believeing he was right in being a jackbut, and he falls into place just like she wants. I agree with you Vive, Jorge is full of Bullsh** crap.
Montse and mariana in lala land, whatever:-▼

Carlos,
"...this lady may be a dual purpose diversion. The obvious which you point out as well as possibly the new and improved Verónica about to be reunited with her mom (which would provide a wonderful ick to the entire operation)."
What a thrilling (and perverse) idea. It reminds me of Victoria Sandoval in Triunfo del amor when she had her long-lost daughter, María Desamparada, right in front of her nose, but was led to believe that her girl was really María de la Calle. (In those days, Medel was going by the name "El Alacrán" and he was not a very nice man; I'm happy to see he has turned over a new leaf and is now the soul of respectability in El Purgatorio.)

Thank You Mauricio. Well written, very entertaining.
About Vsnake: Is there an off chance that with her unconscious in the care of actual real Doctors and Medical staff, that her fake heart condition might come to light?
Or will Dr. FeelGood intervene somehow or maybe she regain consciousness. ?
Im clutching at straws because this TN is fast losing interest, and I would like to see something, anything, happen.

Thank you, Mauricio! Love the snarky remarks and I totally agree with you about Magdalena's stoooopid attempt to "protect" Botel. This is such a telenovela staple, it has become tiresome to watch.
So Marty and Vero give it another try? How many chances has he now had to tell her all the truth? I remember that when watching La Mentira the big reveal came at about episode 40 and it was so heavy with emotion and excellent acting, I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. On the other hand Marty and Vero have had so many fights and she already knows a few half truths, so when the big lie is revealed, will the impact be as big? I don't know...
So Pablo asks AP to marry him... Hmmm, Abuelo seems fine with the idea, which definitely means that somethung dreadful is about to happen. Is Mariana still planning that wedding? I missed a few episodes, but didn't Pablo talk to her? The guy is such a prize!!!!
I have to wonder what's wrong with Virginia, too. In one of the first episodes she said that she did have a heart condition that one of the procedures she undertook as a teenager fixed. But then she realized that she could play the sick card so she decided to keep pretending. But what if the fact that she didn't actually have any real medical appointments since then made her miss some significant clues that her heart condition is back? If she's pregnant, then poor Emi is going straight to the alter.

You make a good point Adriana, though I haven't seen earlier versions of this thing apathy has set in for me already, Yo-Yo love, but apologize to Yo-Yo's everywhere, you can do more tricks with a Yo-Yo than Mejía (or his wife) can with a TN.

Adriana, ITA about 'La Mentira' capturing your attention and the big reveal scene was amazing. Kate del Castillo's hurt, anger and disappointment and love for the galan was so obvious, and Guy Ecker's realization that he was totally wrong was written all over his face too.
The script for this one is crap...I like Marty, putting the mine in he and Vero's name, building the new house and he saving her from Manuel are good signs to me, but I get why 99% of y'all can't stand him. He's basically one slap of Vero from being a wife abuser. Only Mejia can turn gold-Ana Brenda and Ivan Sanchez-into crap.
Maybe Jorge Salinas could have finessed the Mejia-ness more, since his despicable Rogelio managed to be irrestible even at his worse, and he was worse than Marty, but Ivan Sanchez is stuck with a bad script that makes his galan look bad.

I think the Mejía model knows only teen angst and the drama about a day in the life of 14 year olds. It appears stupid cause he cast actors (save for AB), in their 30's & 40's. Cannot imagine how many times we have to endure Veronica and Martin and it's not even lunch period yet.
Jarocha- You've captured the problem with the way this set of writers are handling the revelation of the truth. In CME it also all happened at once. It makes it more impractical. By the time Vero learns the whole truth the audience won't care anymore.
Thanks for the great recap! Missed this one.
Are we sure Vsnake isn't faking? Too early for her to die so we know she'll live and I'm sure come out in an even better position.
Vero and Marty are boring.
After Pablo slept with AP he is dead to me. Rooting for Julio.
Pablo broke it off with Mariana right? So is she just bsc with all this wedding stuff?
Nanci still hobbling on cut foot must have some symbolism behind it.
Are we sure Vsnake isn't faking? Too early for her to die so we know she'll live and I'm sure come out in an even better position.
Vero and Marty are boring.
After Pablo slept with AP he is dead to me. Rooting for Julio.

OH MY!!! So many jumping on the hate the show bandwagon. The gringo is not one of them. But first Mauricio.
Mauricio---Another gem indeed. Well your recaps are all gems so just add another jewel to your box of what has become a big box of gem stones.
Claudia calls up the third galan in her harem---A great line Mauricio. Well the claw has a harem, no one else does. LOL
Advances---Virginia in the hospital. I wonder/can't wait to see what that's all about. It's way too early for anything serious to happen to her, the snake needs a lot more screen time to spread her vipers poison.
Tofie---Blood pressure medicine for Julio? That good thinking because judging from his actions over the last couple of weeks, he might need some.
Duchess---I have been thinking for awhile now that Botel might not make it out alive
Pablo and Ana Perla---The big wedding??? I think that Mariana is going to put a stop to that. Don't know how but I'm sure it will happen. Will Julio step in? The bloody knife in the intro---Could that be Julio that is lying there wounded with Pablo looking on? I am going to have to look at that intro again.
Tofie---You get the gold star best line of the week award with---You can do more tricks with a yo-yo than Mejia (or his wife) can do with a TN.
Very strong comments---J desde NYC Only Mejia can turn gold-Ana Brenda and Ivan Sanchez- into crap. Wow! Vero and Martin are having a rough marriage but a crap novela? I'm not going there.
Vivi---The audience won't care anymore. The gringo was practically all alone with Corazon Indomable. If I end up all alone here, well, so be it.
Can't wait for Monday night.

Gringo- Not at hate levels with this tns. Just at meh levels. Mejia has a way of taking really good stories, as seen I their previous versions, and just making hash out of them. Each version doesn't have to be the exact same, but he has taken one of the key elements that makes this tale so exciting (the early and explosive discovery of the truth by the heroine), and made it a totally predictable and yawn inducing plot element, with lots of yo yo back and forth making up and breaking up. In other words, he's sucked the life out of the very heart of this story. That's a huge shame.
Gringo you aren't alone liking this TN. I am loving it soo much. I love Martin and Vero. They have a very good chemistry! I am glad they are back together though it might be short. All the same still glad. I am liking the story.

Gringo , thats manuel, ana perla's creepy crazy brother thats been stabbed, and pablos looking on. That might put a stop to the wedding with a lot of other crazy stuff coming with these two star crossed lovers.
It will probably be something with pablo and mariana that sets crazy manny off. Its gonna be a mess.

Mauricio, Thanks again for another excellent recap. I loved the following:
“and the ring even glows at one point in a typical Mejia cheesy way” and,
“Oh and the worst part of this scene was having to witness yet another semi shirtless scene with someone who we don't need to see shirtless.”
You are so funny.
Vivi, “I don't appreciate them playing the comedy soundtrack when they show drunk Manuel snoozing from the Church wine. This guy is a rapist and a murderer. He is not comic relief.”
Good point.
On the other hand, so far I’m thinking comic relief in the form of Monchito will be boring and stupid.
The scene where Ana Perla is on the stairs listening to Pablo and Abuelo and afterwards is so excitedly happy as she exchanges glances with Pablo when he leaves was tenderly sweet. I am not looking forward to her being hurt.
Old Goat being so agreeable, nice but way out of character. As Adriana pointed out, it must be a prelude to the BAD STUFF.
NovelaMaven, “So Ginny is REALLY sick. That's just so... uh, sad.” LOL!
Maybe Ginny will become delirious and spill the beans about her lies to Emi or Jorge. Just hopin’.
I love Veronica but I can’t believe (of course I can) that she let Marty get away with not giving her a straight answer about whether he believes her. OK, deep breath, I just have to accept it.
Please let Botel or the investigator be smart enough to start following Magdalena around……better the PI as Botel will have a meltdown when he sees Aaron.

Thank you everyone for all the great comments this weekend.
tofie - "Whew, that Magdalena is one for overkill ain't she. I thought she was gonna tell Botel he had a little peepee next."
Hahaha. Good one tofie. And if that didn't work she probably would have told him that he smells bad and snores.
NovelaMaven - I liked seeing Franky Martin again too. I'm going to enjoy seeing him as "Monchito" even if he will just be used as comic relief.
Vivi - I also didn't like them playing the comedy music with Manuel. He's definitely not comic relief at all. The character is so hateful.

I'm still liking and enjoying the novela. I just wish the story would move along so that by the time this ends the writers aren't stuck with having to rush things. I'm hoping it will wrap up nicely with not that many loose ends.
It should be good tonight with Virginia becoming ill. It'll be interesting to see if it's for real or if she's faking. Can't wait to find what happens next.

Oh and both Magdalena and Jorge take the prize for being the most stupid (at least in this episode; Emi took the prize on Thurs).
All Magdalena has to do is let Botel know what's going on and then work together with him and the rest of their team (PI & Dr. Del Rio) to bring Aaron and Clemente down. But nooo, instead she keeps quiet and gives in to Aaron's demands. This can't end well.
Jorge was really such a jerk to Vero on the phone. I wanted to throttle him. I can't wait until he has to eat his words when Virginia gets unmasked.

About Pablo & Mariana,
In Pablo's mind he and Mariana did break up. But his mistake was not being clear and letting Mariana know that there was someone else in his life.
In Mariana's mind she thinks she and Pablo are taking a break and she's giving him his space. She still believes they are together and that the wedding will happen.

Mariana is in lala land, of her own makeing, no one elses opinion matters just hers. In her head everything works her way. This wont end well, for her, pablo or ana perla. Tonite should be really good TV stuff.
