Yo No Creo en los Hombres #25 Lunes, 8/17/15
Sometimes
the truth can set one free. Right now it's just taking its time.
– D
Chapter
25: Damage Control
An
unseen assailant knocked out the bricks holding up the car Leo was
working under. He shouted out in pain when the car fell on him.
Ivana
now had to deal with her meddling aunt. She told her that Maria
Dolores said that Daniel had no money. She demanded to know what
Susana knew. Susana took an “I told you so” attitude and said
she had proof. She played back the recording she made of the
conversation with Úrsula in which she had called her out on their
nouvelle probresse.
Claudio
planned on working late. When Isela asked about dinner he said he
would be eating at his desk. He asked her what she wanted. She
slyly suggested she was better off eating with Orlando and got up
from the desk. She then adjusted his tie, getting in close enough to
create temptation. Her expression was like a college student trying
not to flirt with her favorite prof, and he seemed to fall for it.
He stared at her as she said something about the tie being a good
color for him. When she retreated he looked like he wanted to
follow.
Maleny
stood outside the police station when she called her mother. She was
afraid that Max was filing charges against Danny-Boy. Mama Bear told
her not to worry because Claudio would take care of things. Maleny
shook like a leaf in the wind. She didn't think Claudio would help.
She was sure she lost Max to Maria Dolores. Mama Bear told her that
if Danny-Boy married Ivana she wouldn't have to marry Max.
Maleny
paused for a second then ended the call without another word.
Danny-Boy took this worse than Mama Bear did, announcing that if this
messed up his plans for Ivana he would make sure that Maleny didn't
get Max. Úrsula couldn't stop him from leaving and she looked like
she was about to deal with a migraine.
Clara
was talking with her mother when Honoria arrived to tell them about
Leo's accident. They ran out.
Doris
paid Maria Dolores a visit in the tailor shop. Who was not willing
to forgive her sin of deliberate omission. Doris tried to explain
that she was trying to prevent Ari from possibly losing his job at
the country club. There was also a threat from Danny-Boy. She
decided then that all men were cowards.
Ari
and several other guys were hoisting the car so Julian could pull Leo
out. Clara and Honoria were shouting to them. Josefa watched,
looking satisfied. They finally got him out. He was unconscious and
there was blood trailing from his nose and mouth to his jawline.
They lost their grip and the car came down on Julian's right leg.
The women shouted to call for an ambulance. Ari echoed their demand.
Maleny
was still outside the courthouse. She continued to beg Max not to
file charges against Danny-Boy. Max said he wouldn't if she really
didn't want him to, but he was obviously not agreeing with her. His
phone rang and it was Julian, telling him what happened to Leo. Max
said he would be there right away. Miraculously the ambulance was
already there and about to take Leo to the hospital. Max ended the
call and told Maleny about the accident... and he needed to go. He
was too much in a hurry to notice how selfish she was trying to stop
him with her needy plea. She was alarmed and not in the right way.
Leo
was strapped down with sensors attached. He began to cough. Clara
begged him to fight as the paramedics prepared injections. One said
something about there being blood in his lungs. The equipment gave
off some steady beeps. Nothing sounded good.
Maleny
was in the police station talking to a plainclothes man who was
taking notes on a computer. Danny-Boy arrived, pulled her out of her
seat, and dragged her outside. She kept asking him to wait. He
finally released her after they were down the steps and she told him
he was lucky because Leo had had an accident. He drew his arm back;
he was intending to hit her. She was ready to forgive him. He
didn't buy it. He pinched her or something like that before leaving.
She crouched down uselessly screaming his name.
Max
arrived at the hospital where Julian told him they knew nothing
because they were not family. Max said something to the desk nurse
while Honoria said they should leave. Julian wanted to stay to find
out about Leo. Max said he would get the staff to bring him a
wheelchair but Julian declined the offer. He wasn't about to be
cared for in the rich people's hospital. Max would not hear of this.
He insisted that this was the least he could do for him. Clara came
back in tears. At Max's question she told him that Leo was very bad
off.
Maleny
called her Mama Bear, telling her she needed to restrain Danny-Boy.
She wasn't going to denounce him but he wasn't listening. Úrsula
told her it was her own fault. She told Úrsula about the accident
and that Max had gone to the hospital. Úrsula told her something
she didn't want to hear: She had to go to the hospital to show Max
she would be a good wife. Maleny didn't want to go. Mama Bear then
ended the call. Maleny began to shake.
Max
called his father, who told Isela to cancel his appointments for the
rest of the day. She was to stay in the office and call him when
Alma arrived. She embraced him in mock sympathy before he left. She
called Orlando, who was feeling bad about the accident. She told him
it wasn't his fault and she would see him later.
Fermin
the Vermin was also at the hospital. He thanked Honoria for raising
Julian to be a good man. She was worried about Leo. Jenny watched
them.
Maleny
arrived at the hospital. The first person she saw was Ari. She said
it all went as planned. He said he didn't know what she was talking
about. She said his timing was perfect at getting Leo out of the
repair shop and the neighborhood. Max got the call in time to avoid
him denouncing Danny-Boy. Ari looked at her like he knew she was
crazy and shook his head. She only grinned.
Josefa
went back home. It wasn't like her to avoid the scene of a juicy
piece of scandal... or a crime. Her cell rang and Isela asked her
where she had been. She told her about a great “accident” and
Isela told her she already knew. She then demanded to know what
Josefa had to do with this. She didn't see Alma, who was behind her.
And close enough to hear. As she ended the call Alma came up to her
and demanded to know what had happened to Leo.
On
the hospital stairwell Ari asked Maleny why she was accusing him of
Leo's accident. She didn't really apologize.
Isela
lied about whom she talked to. She said she was talking to Orlando
and he told her about Leo having an accident. Alma began to panic.
Isela looked a little lost and a lot guilty.
Úrsula
talked to Danny-Boy, who hadn't answered her previous calls. He was
trying to find out which hospital Leo was in, but hadn't yet. She
said he had better make a show of helping Claudio and Alma rather
than causing more trouble for Maleny by saying she had a lover.
Someone had told Ivana that they had no dinero so this was serious.
He assumed that it was one of the Bustamantes, but she corrected him.
Susanna had heard it somewhere. She assumed she would have to fix
this situation herself, as usual. Just as she ended the call Susanna
appeared. Úrsula was ready to go after Maria Dolores, but Susanna
said this wasn't necessary. Maria Dolores and Ivana had already
talked.
Maria
Dolores was at the hospital trying to reassure Clara, who was crying.
She told her that Leo would be alright. She looked up and saw Max,
who was in a state of shock. She embraced him because he really
needed it. Just as he didn't need Maleny to see this happen as she
entered behind him. He started to cry. Rather than go into her
normal jealous outburst Maleny called his name and asked how Leo was.
Maria Dolores released Max and walked away, staring at Maleny. Max
turned around and looked at Maleny as though he wondered why she was
even there. She had followed Maria Dolores with her gaze rather than
running to comfort him.
Maria
Dolores went back to Clara. She and Honoria were worried that Julian
would lose a leg.
Susanna
announced Úrsula to Ivana, adding that she told her that Ivana
wasn't feeling well. Ivana told her to leave the two of them alone
to talk. Susanna didn't show her annoyance. She casually walked
over to the bed and pulled the covers over a small blood stain on the
bottom sheet.
Maleny
must have felt more like herself because she demanded to know what
Maria Dolores was doing at the hospital. Max told her that Maria
Dolores was worried about Leo, her sister's boyfriend. She was also
there to support her sister and her friend, who had hurt himself
helping Leo. “So why isn't she with them instead of embracing
you?” Maleny demanded.
“Because
I don't know what is happening with my brother and if you had been
here with me and worried about my brother she wouldn't have had to
embrace me. What the hell is wrong with you?” He was losing his
patience and on the verge of losing his temper. She saw that and
covered her face like a child hiding from a thunderstorm. Claudio
then arrived asking about Leo.
Ivana
was lying in her bed. She returned the ruby ring to Úrsula, telling
her that this was the one Danny-Boy gave to Maria Dolores. She then
showed the one he had given her. She took this to mean that she
meant less to Danny-Boy than Maria Dolores did. Úrsula carefully
told her that if Maria Dolores had really meant anything why would he
stage a fake wedding ceremony? She also told her that the ring
wasn't her mother's ring but a fake he had bought. To emphasize the
point she flushed it down the toilet. As for the money being gone?
It was a lie so that Maria Dolores would leave them all alone. In
the meantime Max was prepared to help Maria Dolores. Ivana was very
upset and clutched her abdomen. She was also bleeding.
Alma
arrived at the hospital and ran to Claudio. The doctor came out just
as she asked about Leo. The doctor explained that Leo had broken
ribs, which was interfered with breathing. She begged him to save
Leo. She almost collapsed against Max. Clara cried. Maleny's face
may as well have been made of stone.
Julian
and Jenny were in another area of the hospital. He told her that
people with his illness don't have a long life expectancy; forty
years was the usually max. Maria Dolores arrived just in time to
hear this.
Ivana
must have gone to the bathroom because Úrsula was helping her back
to the bed. She wanted to call a doctor but Ivana refused. Úrsula
told her to promise that nothing would happen to her grandchild.
Ivana told her to leave. Úrsula obeyed despite knowing that her
meal ticket was about to dissolve.
Julian
asked Jenny not to tell anyone what he had just told her. Especially
his mother. She had gone with him to various doctors when he was a
child and was told different things. When he was old enough to learn
about his condition he asked the doctors not to tell her anything.
Maria Dolores heard this. Honoria arrived, asking why she wasn't
going home. She wasn't looking well. Maria Dolores suggested they
go for coffee and Honoria agreed. As they left, Jenny promised
Julian she wouldn't tell anyone. He explained how he wanted the rest
of his life to be normal and that he was in love with Maria Dolores.
He wanted to be the man to love and protect her and he couldn't do
that from a wheelchair. Jenny began to cry as he asked her if she
understood. She nodded.
Just
before she left the Duval house, Úrsula ordered Susanna to get Ivana
to the hospital. “You don't know about these things, but I do.
She's losing too much blood. She can't lose my grandchild!” She
then left. Susanna knocked on Ivana's bedroom door. Ivana had
stripped the bed of the bloody sheets and yelled at her to leave her
alone. She laid on the pile of sheets and cried quietly.
Claudio
signed some documents at the hospital. Orlando approached him and
identified himself as the owner of the repair shop. Claudio was
angry, demanding to know why precautions hadn't been taken. Max
stepped between Orlando and his parents, saying “We don't really
know what happened.” Isela arrived and stood beside Orlando.
Behind
them Maleny looked guilty, but nobody noticed. Orlando was feeling
guilty and said he would find a way to pay the bills. He excused
himself and left. Isela followed him, afraid of Alma and Claudio's
reactions.
Úrsula
called Danny-Boy to tell him that he needed to see Ivana toute
suite. She had spoken with Maria Dolores who told her that they
were ruined. Danny-Boy told her that she would have found out sooner
or later. Úrsula told him she had tried to fix the situation but
Ivana was bleeding. “She could lose your baby and you know what
that means.”
“I'm
on my way,” he said. From his expensive red car.
Arango
told Úrsula he was not sure this would be enough. He felt that
Ivana would not want to marry Danny-Boy knowing they were kaput.
Úrsula was hoping Ivana hadn't heard it all. “After all this?”
he asked. “It's either that or lose Ivana's entire fortune.”
Isela
told Orlando that Alma was confused. He realized that and said that
all that mattered is that Leo recover. He was concerned also because
of his other employees. Accidents like this happen sooner or later.
Isela felt responsible for this also because she asked him to employ
Leo. She would help him somehow get the bills paid. She looked
afraid as she embraced him.
Jenny
tried to explain to Honoria that the doctor wanted to operate on
Julian's leg to stabilize it. Jenny said that she and Fermin needed
to go to their AA meeting but Fermin wanted to stay at the hospital.
Maria Dolores told him that she and Honoria would stay so he would
go.
Clara
was in the chapel. She prayed to the Virgin Mary for Leo's recovery.
Max and Alma arrived as Clara began to cry. Alma sat next to her
silently and took her hand. Max sat behind them, choking his own
tears back.
Danny-Boy
talked to Mama Bear in between gulps of his favorite booze. Ivana
didn't want to see him and he couldn't get in. Mama Bear said she
had to force her way in. “You're her fiancé,” she told him.
“Who
knows? She won't answer my calls. The servants all cover up for
her.”
“Arango
is right. She isn't going to forgive you.”
“Yeah.
I deceived her with Maria Dolores but you? You hid that we're
ruined.”
“She'll
forgive you that. How can you be with so many women and learn
nothing? What hurt Ivana is that you gave your grandmother's ring to
the seamstress. I told her about the plan and the fake wedding, but
she didn't believe me.”
“You
just confirmed what Maria Dolores told her!” he said as he sat at
the desk. “So where do we go now?” He paused. “Maria Dolores
is different from all the other women. We have to hope that Ivana
doesn't lose the baby. This baby is the only reason she would ever
forgive me.”
Ivana's
doctor told her at the same time that it sounded like she was having
a miscarriage. She cried, ending the call as the doctor was trying
to explain she should come in to see him. He realized she ended the
call and told his secretary to get her back on the phone.
Julian
was leaving the hospital with his right leg in a cast. Max excused
himself to pay the bill. Maria Dolores told Julian she overheard his
conversation with Jenny. She said she would tell no one but wasn't
at ease with this. She finally told him he should get a wheelchair
against the day he would need it. He refused and said he will not
need one. She made him promise to take care of himself and follow
doctors' orders. He promised. She kissed him as she would kiss a
brother. This was not enough for him, but he said nothing.
Clara
and Alma continued to pray for Leo. Finally, Alma embraced Clara,
thanking God she was there for Leo. Elsewhere, Mama Bear demanded to
know why her female cub wasn't with Max. Maleny told her that Max
was off dealing with the lowlifes. She showed no concern for Leo.
Úrsula asked why she wasn't in the chapel with Alma. All Maleny
could think of was seeing Max embraced by “the seamstress”. Mama
Bear shushed her and said “She doesn't waste time, does she?”
“First
my brother and now my fiance? What is this?”
“Because
she's smarter than you,” said Mama Bear. “And things could be
going south with Ivana. Nothing is guaranteed. Hang onto Max tooth
and nail because if you don't this lowlife will steal him and have
more money than you. Do you get that, Maleny?”
They
stared at each other.
Max
and Maria Dolores were in the café. She was being optimistic for
his sake. She knew that Clara wouldn't leave until they knew the
results of the operation. Max was sure that had Clara been hurt Leo
would have done the same. Maria Dolores encouraged him to go home
and get some sleep. She told him about Ivana's visit. She had told
her everything about Danny-Boy, “But I don't think she believed me.
She said that I was only a bet between him and you.”
“Of
course that came from Daniel and it's another one of his lies.”
“Of
course, but I don't want to talk about Daniel. He hurt me very badly
and I have no feelings for him.”
“You're
completely right. Just promise me one thing. If he tries anything
else, tell me.”
“Like
what?”
“Like
hurting you or threatening you in any way. You have to promise me
that.”
She
nodded. She also looked scared.
The
operation was a success. The surgeon told Clara and Alma that Leo
would need therapy. They could see him when he came out of the
anaesthesia. Clara and Alma hugged each other as the nurse went to
look for Claudio. Who was with Isela. He told her to call a cab and
have the bill sent to the office. She acknowledged the order and
excused herself. He said he would have preferred to tell his wife
about the situation. She explained how it happened and he
apologized. He was feeling bad about not being understanding with
Leo and blamed himself for this ultimate result.
“Sometimes
kids don't understand their parents either,” she said. “Happens
a lot with my mother. You must love yours very much.”
Then
she went in for the kill. She kissed him as though she really meant
it. He picked her up off her feet and pulled down her jacket and
dress from the shoulders. She wrapped her legs around his waist as
he put her up against the glass wall.

Urban- I am so happy you got this posted as soon as the east coast broadcast ended. Fantastic recap!
That was some ending. Isela really went in for the kill-- and with no locked door, a clear window, and anybody being able to walk in anytime. Pretty damn risky!
I think our list of suspects is narrowed to Josefa and Daniel, with Jo being the most likely. I'm so glad that Leo will pull through (although it sounds like he has lots of therapy ahead), and that this served to bring Clara and Alma closer. And Max and MD too.
Maleny is an idiot, or just doesn't understand human emotions. Ursula was absolutely right about how she should have at least pretended to be-- supportive, sympathetic. She can't even fake that for a few hours.
Thanks again, Urban.

Not happy that the previews seem to show Ivana deciding to turn all her sadness and rage on MD, and not on Dan. Come on Ivana!
When the doc told her she most likely miscarried, I realize that we are probably heading for a situation where Ivana will once again feel like MD got/stole something from her. I bet MD is going to end up being pregnant by Dan, while Ivana will have lost his baby. This will drive Ivana crazy. Not a spoiler. Just a guess about where this is all going. Only thing I can't figure out is what Ivana will do about Dan. Will she still marry him? Will she pretend to still be pregnant? I just want to see her toy with him and yank his leash. Of course, none of this will make her happy. But Ivana seems determined to NOT be happy.

Urban - Wow! Great recap (and so fast too!). You really have a finger on Maleny! He was losing his patience and on the verge of losing his temper. She saw that and covered her face like a child hiding from a thunderstorm. That's exactly what she looks like most of the time. I think she's just...augh!...but I really like that she's a villain who doesn't know what the hell she's doing. It seems so true to life; she's been around the squabbling, scheming rats, but she doesn't really know how to play the game, not with the big boys. Her gleeful praise when she thought Ari had hurt Leo was just disgusting to watch. She's so like a selfish 7 year old!
I am shocked that Alma and Claudio didn't bring the fear of God down on the whole neighborhood! I would've sworn they would've started laying blame at ever possible foot. Orlando gets extra points for that because I think his stepping up and taking responsibility went a long way. Her bonding with Alma instead was awesome (the actress that plays Clara did a fabulous job!)
Shocked that Ivana probably lost her baby! What?! I did not see that coming (at least not this early). Vivi, I think your theory is genius: her pretending to still have the baby? Wow! That would be so interesting! Would she marry Dan just to make his life miserable/get revenge?? Oh lord, if she's left barren for any reason, she would totally ruin his life and MD's!
And Claudio and Isela going at it like that?! Whoa! I wonder how far they'll get before the nurse shows up.
I'm worried that now Ivana won't believe Max either. He can explain that he called MD to the fashion awards show, she didn't go on her own. And that dress lady can confirm that Dan gave her the dress. But no one seems interested in finding the dress lady (excapt for Jacinto, who has serious credibility issues) and Ivana won't believe Max, especially when he goes public about loving MD.
Who I am worried will end up marrying Julian because he's only got what, 10 years left, according to his estimation?
Ay yi yi, this show has so many unexpected twists and turns! So many surprises! Oooh, it's so refreshing!

If Ivana marries Danny-Boy I hope Max can convince her to force him to sign a pre-nup. He can investigate the allegations of bankruptcy and find out quite a bit if he puts a little effort in.
If I were a lawyer I'd advise anyone in Ivana's position to fly, not run, as far away from Danny-Boy and his sick family as she can get. I'd even recommend a restraining order against them. This is 2015 and she doesn't have to be married to be important to anyone. She has money and a successful business, which make her a prime target for fortune-hunters.
Marrying him to get revenge is a bad idea because it's likely to warp her own soul a bit more, which she doesn't need and shouldn't want. However, if she does she should not do so without a pre-nup. She should force him to go to work. She should also enforce refusal to allow Mama Bear and Maleny to freeload off her. Maleny can work in her company and be paid something reasonable, but that should be the absolute limit. They are looking to bleed her dry. It's a pity that Susanna was the first one to tell her that because she's only doing that in her own best interests.
Now on to Julian...
It's a shame he only has about 10 years max to live. There is no medical miracle for him unless someone determines that he was misdiagnosed all those years ago, but that's unlikely. I can understand him not wanting to tell Honoria because her worrying and hovering over him would only get worse and his life is more than sufficiently restricted. The refusal of the wheelchair may not be sensible but it is understandable. He would love to be MD's White Knight, but I think he realizes that this role will go to Max in the end.
As to who caused Leo's injury, I suspect Josefa and/or Jacinto. Danny-Boy has the motive, but I don't think he was near the scene of the crime.
And how sick is Maleny that she not only cannot feel she can't fake it in her own best interests? How smart is Max that his instincts are saying something about this chick isn't right? And Ari should run like hell away from Maleny before he becomes a victim.
The apples didn't fall far from the tree, that's for sure. If Ursula can flush an heirloom ring down the toilet (if she did, since we didn't actually see her do it) then her children's madness is easily explained.
A miscarriage would save Ivana lots of grief. To borrow from The Sopranos for Danny-Boy's DNA to be stopped would be doing future generations a big favor.

I'd be shocked if after all of this a prenup wasn't brought up. I imagine the only reason it hasn't been is that no one's sure there will be a wedding.
I'm confused: last night Ursula said something about how if Ivana didn't forgive Dan, Ursula would have to tell her the whole truth or risk losing Ivana's fortune. I don't get the logic. she already knows most of their twisted version of the truth. What else was she going to confess and how would that help?
Also, the only reason Ivana's buying this story about MD as a merciless stalker-girlfriend is because she wants to, because it sooths her fledgling and broken ego and heart. But honestly, how is anyone taking it seriously otherwise. Ursula keeps saying it's the only way to get MD off of their backs. Um, why is she on your backs? She can't be blackmailing you because you're broke. She's not pregnant (well, we don't think she's pregnant) and if she wanted Dan and Dan didn't want her, all he had to say was "sorry, I'm not in love with you anymore." She could cry and scream all she wanted, but to what end? And how would a fake wedding get her off your back anyway? He was just going to have two families to placate his lover? And she was never going to see him in magazine or on TV or hear that he'd married her ex-boss? Please, lord, someone point this out to Ivie because it might not be smart for her to marry Dan for revenge, but vengeance is more blind than justice and one Josefa is more than enough.

She could cry and scream all she wanted, but to what end? And how would a fake wedding get her off your back anyway? He was just going to have two families to placate his lover? And she was never going to see him in magazine or on TV or hear that he'd married her ex-boss? Please, lord, someone point this out to Ivie because it might not be smart for her to marry Dan for revenge, but vengeance is more blind than justice and one Josefa is more than enough.
Agree Hellashelle it is wounded pride keeping Ivana in play. Very apparent during the MD/Ivana tell all
Urban excellent recap. Maleny is a very emotionally, mentally messed up young woman. And max has got to be pickin up some abnormal signals from this, tellin him to get the hell out while he can. He should do what his little bro told him.The girl is really unstable and so is dannyboy.
I kind of feel sorry for Ivanna, I said kinda, cuz she's really down on Maria Dolores and she really don't have a reason except for the lies that Danny has told. People get very , very disstructive when they're hurt. And they hurt innocent people. If MD turns up PREGGERS, now that ivana has miscarried, shes gonna make her (MD)life a living hell. And that is really unfair because Danny boy's the one that got all those lies going and she's going to take it out on MD. Why?
The judge, what can I say about the judge......
He's diggin his own grave, in the hospital, against clear glass where anyone can walk up and see him.....diggin his grave. Stuuupid!
You know this whole situation does not make since to me until I find out what happened to josefas daughter. How did she really die? I wish they had wrote this up as Isela being his daughter, and her mother dying in childbirth and josefa took her in, and josefa is crazy enough to push her on to him,
To get revenge on him for knockin up her sister and leavin her for an upper class chick like alma. After all she does look like him, which is what I thought when I first saw her and him together that first week. Then max and leo would have a sister. But thats just me.
Happy that leo is gonna be okay. And ain't no way Orlando is going to be able to pay all those bills.

Ivana would marry Dan because she "knows" that no one else would marry her, and it's true: no one is clamoring to marry Ivana. But it's not because of her appearance: Doris is wider than Ivana but is very attractive and has no problem catching the eye of men.
Ivana has an aura of "I'm unloveable, I suck, I'm a Debbie Downer" and nobody wants to put up with that. So nobody puts up with that and she sees that and says "well that proves I'm unloveable, I suck & I'm a Debbie Downer."
Her caretaker telling her she's unloveable and her boyfriend telling her "Hey I'm as good as it gets" isn't helping matters any.
If Ivana is left barren it would be HER fault for not seeking medical attention right away, not Maria Dolores' fault. But now Ivana has somebody else to blame besides herself for her own lonliness & despair, so Maria Dolores come on down!

Anon207 - I agree that Ivana's attitude is poisoning her ability to socialize. Her horrible aunt is leading that charge for her, always aroung to smother whatever self esteem she gains. She also appears to have few friends and puts virtually all of her energy into her business. Which again, seems largely due to Susana's treating her much in the way Dan does - like a checkbook.
I think one of the things we're all looking forward to is seeing Ivana find that self esteem to realize that her size is not what's holding her back from having a family.
Nina - before she knew about MD and Dan, she already didn't have a great opinion of MD. First, Jacinto accuses her of stealing a dress, and the managers convinced Ivana that MD made up the assault charges to cover that up. Then, when she was rehired and promoted, the first thing she did was lose a dress that ended up in another store, making it seem like she was a liar all along. For the dress debacle alone, she probably would've hated her because, as I said above, Ivana's poured almost everything she is into that business; it's the only thing that seems to make her feel worthy. The Dan situation takes that hate into a realm where Ivana wants to hurt MD rather than forget she exists.

Gracias Urban this is a very nice recap. You have amazing writing skills, this novela fits you perfectly!
Hosefa has definetly done the deed and needs to be locked in the Arkham Asylum immediatly. Jacinto or the fat guy could have done it too but they dont have the motive. Hosefa certainly does have one as she would kill anything that moves to achieve her destructive plans. Even though Claud's reputation is now tainted for us, he certainly must have had conscience attacks which affected his life of marriage. The storyline with Claud and Maly is very intriguing indeed. But the storyline with Isela and Claudio is getting quite hard to watch.
The bonding of Clara and Alma was nice. The scene was very believable without being too corny.
Maly certainly has severe mental health issues and living in a family of rats has not helped much. Dan has issues too but he has no scruples. His behaviour has only increased pressure on Mama Bear and the poor Maly. He only abuses women to please Mom and himself but Mal does it to find mental shelter.
Mama Bear never seems to get a nights sleep because of her children. They put her in problemas all the darn time.

Anon 207 - I dont think that her lack of self esteem is the only problem. I think her overconfidence is making her doubt the facts that ar around her . She just wants to prove that nothing is wrong in her life , even if she's to marry the Cockroach . She tries too much to be perfect.
CountxAlacran - that's a good point: she's not self confident when it comes to her looks, but she's used to being obeyed completely. A potent mix.
Ivana will probably marry Danny the Roach to save face. For the same reason she might not get a pre-nup. Then Gerry will have to pull her arse out of the fire.
Maleny also has no scruples. Her glee at Leo's accident was chilling. And this is the brother of the man she plans to marry and fleece. Of course, if he dies then Max gets everything.

I forgot about that dress mess. Ivana blames that on MD too. That with the lies, she'll go In for the kill. I hope she learns the truth before she does any really bad damage. Max to the rescue?

When they (Julian) were pullingoing Leo out from the car, Josefa stood back with a big smile on her face so my bet is Josefa.
