Lo Imperdonable #118 Thu 10/29/15 Julio dies a hero and... oh no! not Padre Juan!
Labels: imperdonable
I thought the fruit on display in the Farmer's Market that Ana Perla used to conk Manny was a pineapple. As silly as it seems, it would probably be more damaging that the soft skinned mango or a melon.
Julio was annoying, but he did not deserve the ending he got. What a terrible death scene. However, I did love your line about him bleeding his heart out for Ana Perla.
Poor Padre. He also didn't deserve the end he got. It was funny, though, how he shoved Manny and made a run for it. Too bad he couldn't run faster.
Those cops are useless. It was so easy for Manny to get away.
Poor Chucho. I suppose he'll be blamed for stealing the ring.
Those were some nice scenes with Veronica and Marty. I like his plan.
I thought it was a pineapple too. She should have hit him harder.
I still have hopes for the padre though, but what do I know? If the authorities don't do something soon, the only survivors in town may be Manny, Juancho and the nasty gossips.
I missed the show last night and will miss tonight's but dvr'ing so hope to catch up this weekend before the big finale.
I'm a little confused, did Ginny put the ring in Chucho's pocket and then take it out to sell to the pawn shop? Oh, did she just put the ring box in his pocket? Pawn shops have cameras so let's hope she gets caught.
Finally, Vero's memories are back! But I still can't believe that Marty is springing Vero on her family this way? Poor Emi and Jorge are going to explode. I would be happy but mad as hell at Marty. But does Vero remember them? Not all of her memories are back right?
Poor Julio! I was hoping that once he stepped aside that he would be saved. Can't anyone end up single at the end of TN's?
Ginny put the ring box in Chucho's pocket and put the ring in her own pocket. Good point about the surveillance cameras at the shop.
No, not all of Vero's memories are back. I don't think we know how much she remembers about Emi and Jorge. WE saw Emi in one of her flashbacks, but I don't know if SHE did. :) And I agree, Marty is treating the boys pretty shabbily.
"Can't anyone end up single at the end of TN's?" Excellent question! Grist for Urban's mill, perhaps? :-)
"Why couldn't Dr. Dan just put the freaking usb on the dining room table with a note? He has to hide it under all of these clothes for Marty to maybe, eventually find it!"
hahahaha! What can I say? Maybe he loves the thrill of the uncertainty, the unexploded grenade that could blow up Virginia's world at any moment.
Unfortunately, the action did not include at least one anvil for the baddies. Por favor, please let us have at least one tonight!
Loved this line: "Virginia smiles as she confides to the Patio (and really, who else can she talk to at this point?)" Yes, her world is closing in on her now.
I'm not upset with Martín for not telling Emi and Jorge about Verónica being alive. The more people that know this, the bigger target Vero becomes. Especially, those two guys. They have flip-flopped how many times now on whether they trust Vero and Marty or they don't, and they were completely off the charts in having Marty arrested, their disbelief of Vero's innocence, and their belief in Virginia. The brain cells of those two are not very reliable, and they could just blurt out Vero's whereabouts or whatever, messing up the plan Martín and Vero have.
Although Julio annoyed me in the past, he was redeemed for me when he said he would step out of the way of AP's happiness with Pablo. So he didn't deserve this. Lol, Carvivlie, about the lives of single men at the end of TN's.
Yes, hope Padre is alive.
Glad AP followed Blanca in slamming Manny, even though it wasn't the fatal blow we would have loved. I too thought it was a pineapple.
"I'm not upset with Martín for not telling Emi and Jorge about Verónica being alive. The more people that know this, the bigger target Vero becomes. Especially, those two guys."
Point well taken! They really are Mr. Flip and Mr. Flop.
I would say "useless" is a generous description for Pueblo Verde's finest (although once upon a time, long ago, when we had such high hopes for this little novela, they DID put Manny in Cave Jail).
And NovelaMaven, as always, I'm a shameless fan girl. Loved the preamble warning the inconvenient leftover characters and all the funny titles, such as Dead Men Do Wear Plaid ("alas, poor Julio...")and my favorite, as mentioned before "as she onfides to the Patio (and really who else can she talk to at this point)." But "rapid roach scuttle" was another gem. And thanks for the explanation of "payé". That's the sort of detail that flies right by these still-bleary eyes and brain.
And oh my "Shiny beautiful people watch the shiny beautiful girls wearing the shiny beautiful jewelry." Something depressing about that "desfilé" and I think you nailed it. And I thought the elegant dresses upstaged the rather clunky jewelry anyway. But opinions differ, I'm sure.
And why, in the name of heaven, do we still have Ramón scenes? Is he a relative of the producer? Incomprehensible.
Frankly, would not want to do a romantic dinner in a stable. The aroma, yes, ambrosia to horse lovers, but still. And the candles?...definite fire hazard, as you indicated. Prickly love-making on woolen blankets over straw? Not exactly silken sheets but whatever. Passion can sometimes override these small details. I guess!
Well, what can we say? We're still watching this jumble and the Patio remains a great hangout. Especially with recaps like this.
"Frankly, would not want to do a romantic dinner in a stable. The aroma, yes, ambrosia to horse lovers, but still."
But still. And you notice they didn't show them actually eating. As for the "Prickly love-making on woolen blankets over straw," that seems to be a thing, a trope, if you will. There was an almost identical scene in Amores Verdaderos, although in that case, the young lady had just married another man. It is one of those romantic conceits that doesn't bear overthinking.
Thank you so much, my friend.
Could they have made Manuel any worse? Crazy, mean, and stupid. Yikes!
Sansón didn't look all that impressive this time around and his stablemate looked downright anorexic. Horse abuse?
Bad:
"...lit with hundreds of red votive candles burning perilously..."
Badder:
"...snuggling naked under a blanket on a bed of hay..."
Worst:
"Marty shows Vero the Star Deed he once gave her."
Cursi anyone?
Mari,
"What's fascinating to me is that you're so hard on Martín and so forgiving of Virginia."
Because Virginia's bad. That's her job. That's why I like her so much (plus she's kinda cute).
Yes, gin and tonic for all.
Carlos
Yes, Virginia, is great at her job...being bad, that is...and she is very cute. I've enjoyed Grettell's performance mucho.
Maybe the fact that Martín is in my opinion muy guapo contributes to my defending him...lol.
Shhhhhh, Carlos! You're going to frighten the children!
"Cursi, anyone?" Of course! Cursi is where we live here in novelaland. Just dip your strawberry in some melted chocolate, sip a little champagne and get a grip.
"Because Virginia's bad. That's her job. That's why I like her so much (plus she's kinda cute)."
Excellent answer. (I felt the same way about Juan Soler's villain on Reina de Corazones. Aarón? Manuel? Non-starters. Even Daniel is kind of a clunker.)
Mari, I'm glad you liked the Spanish phrases. I was tempted to wax pedantic, but it was getting late and my brain was a little fried.
I loved loved loved Martin and Veronica's scenes. So romantic what he did. My favourite was the horse and cascada! So all this happened in one day! Martin doesn't waste his time lol:)
What I don't understand is how Vero got to the stables, did Martin bring her there? because I don't think her mum knew about it because Martin was surprised that Vero had spoken to Magdalena.
Sad Julio died. Didn't see that coming!
Julio slips to the floor, his heart bleeding out for Ana Perla.
Virginia smiles as she confides to the patio (and really, who else can she talk to at this point?)
She flashes back to the gift and then flashes her dimples.
Daniel does a rapid roach scuttle to the next room.
under arrest for Goaticide.
shinny beautiful people--shinny beautiful girls--shinny beautiful jewelry.
The towns only survivors may be Manny, Juancho and the nasty gossips.
My take on Julio's death---I believe that Julio's death was fitting because had he lived, he would always have had Ana Perla in his heart and would never have found happiness without her. Yes, he had stepped aside but the thought of her would have slowly killed him or his will to live. Julio would have never have been able to get her out of his heart.
Judy B #1---Why do we still have Ramon scenes?---They're for Carlos. He needs some company on the patio while he is sipping Gin and Tonics with Virginia. Two people all alone at a table out on a crowded patio is not a good thing.
Judy B #2---You ruined a beautiful love scene with stable aromas, fire hazards and no silky sheets for the straw. Come on!
The mysterious figure? Can't wait for tonight.

"I loved loved loved Martin and Veronica's scenes."
I KNEW you would! I was thinking of you while I was watching the show. :)
"What I don't understand is how Vero got to the stables, did Martin bring her there?"
Good question. It was only AFTER the stable scene that she came to trust him, not before. I don't know!
Gringo, you are so kind to me. The recap is far from perfect, but I'm happy that you enjoyed it.
I agree with you about poor Julio. He was fated to be a sacrificial lamb from the first day we met him. And yes, it's hard to imagine him ever getting past Ana Perla.
"I believe that Julio's death was fitting..."
I suspect that Julio might disagree.
and
"Two people all alone at a table out on a crowded patio is not a good thing."
Depends.
Carlos
The actual action didn't quite meet our hopes for the evening, but the phrase-gems you included were better that the shiny-beautiful stuff trailing down the runway. (I was also a little disappointed in the jewelry--connection to the ancient heritage seemed a little weak.)
Too bad the girls didn't hit Manny with more force. Pobre de Julio, who always seems to miss out in the romance department. (Not to mention life itself.)
Hahaha. I love Vero and Martin. I hope Ivan and Ana do another telenovela together but I doubt it happening.
Jorge is wise to Virginia now, she stole an incredible amount of money from Prado Castelo, Aaron cashed it and Marty has told Jorge that Aaron called Virginia.
After the mistake with Rita, I don't think Jorge will hesitate to think Virginia stole the ring.
When confronted Virginia will probably blame Veronica for stealing the ring* but Salma will end up giving Virginia the shock of her life by not believing her.
*Why would Veronica have any need to steal anything? She owns 25% of a profitable gold mine, is married to one of the partners of the gold mine (so that's 50% of a profitable gold mine) and is the stepdaughter of the third owner of the gold mine. Plus she will receive at least 15% of Prado Castelo. Veronica would not need to steal a $3000 ring, when she can sell one bar of gold and have enough money for 5 rings.
I want to see Salma beg Veronica for all the years of mistreating her. I won't be satisfied until that happens.
I'm ready for some anvils! Even nasty biatch Mariana hasn't gotten hers! Manny's anvil better be a good one! In my opinion an awful way to die is burning to death and that's why I always hope for that for our villains. I want to see Manny scream and writhe!
NovelaMaven, thank you for another amazing recap! I am going to miss these very much. My favorite lines were "He could have become an Older Goat" and all the mentions of the goat family LOL I also loved "Daniel does a rapid roach scuttle to the next room". Perfect way to describe him, a roach trying not to get stepped on by Virginia. "Obligatory What the...???? Scene" Exactly what I thought too. The monkey writers just trying to throw in some "humor".
Someone today mentioned how poorly Sanson looked! That was definitely a different horse. Not even the same color! I found that rather amusing.
Although I haven't been THAT interested in the Marianna storyline so far, I am now really curious to see how Pablo is going to pull this off. Maybe we could see that tonight? Please? And did anyone notice the art dealers expression after telling Pablo he'd get AP a visa and then watched as Pablo proposed to Marianna? He was like .... "Huh?! Well.... you go Pablo!" I don't see where he's possibly going with this, I just figure there is not enough time for another "me engano" scene with AP. Maybe Pablo ends up being a polygamist? Doesn't seem very TN to me....
I also scratched my head at Ramon-- and frankly could have lived without most of the fashion show.
Again, THANK YOU to ALL of the recappers and to the commenters as well for making this blog such a fun, lively and entertaining way to improve my espanol!
Rebecca
Anon207---You think that V-snakes gig is up. You probably are right but when she is questioned about the theft and turns on the waterworks---oh you don't love me, you, no one has ever loved me boo hoo hoo. It has worked every time before. Could she get away with it one more time?
Two epi's left. There's got to be some good action tonight.
must see tv
the gringo
Thanks so much! Yes, if only the girls had packed more of a wallop... Where's a cast-iron frying pan when you need one?
(I kind of liked the jewelry, but I would have liked to see the pieces in more detail.)
Duchess, I agree it's unlikely we'll see Ana Brenda and Ivan together in a novela any time soon. Next time, Ana Brenda will have to find herself a new galán. :)
Anon207, I was wondering if a scene had been cut in which Chucho told Jorge about seeing Virginia with Aarón. That would explain why Virginia framed him for the theft. Of course, he could have simply been a random patsy, as far as she was concerned.
Lily,
Thank you very much! And I'm with you about the padre. I'm hoping Manny leaves him for dead and someone else comes along and saves him. YOO HOO, Nanciyaga! Are you there?
I hope the thing with Pablo gets wrapped up tonight and he doesn't come off as too mean-spirited in the process.
and yes, bring on the anvils!
Rebecca,
Well I'm glad you were able to post today! Thanks for stopping by. It's great to know you are enjoying the recaps from this team. I agree that the comments are lots of fun around here.
I don't know from horses, so I depend on people like you and Carlos to set me straight. So Sansón was a ringer? Oh well, maybe the original had another engagement.
"And did anyone notice the art dealers expression after telling Pablo he'd get AP a visa and then watched as Pablo proposed to Marianna? He was like .... "Huh?! Well.... you go Pablo!""
Actually, I DID notice. It was a funny bit and your description is perfect.
And no, I don't see Pablo ending up as a polygamist. ;-)
Hey gringo, FWIW, I liked the collection too!
And talk about lazy writing! Am I the only ones remembers that Nanci told Julio he would find love and have money?!
Novela, thank you for this awesome recap, it was such a treat!
Since then, he's learned that Virginia & Manny are involved, Manny's fingerprints were in the gold, Aaron's been calling Virginia.
Jorge will play like he believes Virginia but he doesn't and he won't believe Chucho stole the ring.
Thanks for reminding us of Nanciyaga's prediction of love and money for Julio. I had forgotten it, but now that you mention it, it wasn't so long ago. Maybe when Televisa decided to shorten the novela, that plot line was abandoned.
It's funny, I was actually thinking that if Julio had any surviving relatives, they would be blaming Ana Perla for his death.
Episode. why they have to kill two people off? the Padre okay cuz manny hates him for what he did. Why kill off Julio he was one of good guys. So was the padre.
I thought that was veronica Martin was introducing sanson to again, I didn't know he took Rebecca's assistant out there too. I also thought that these people knew that Veronica was alive that's what I thought he was telling Rebecca the other night, but I guess everybody's going to get a big surprise tonight.
And those kids were no match for the elusive Manuel. he's going to be running the whole remaining time of the show until he runs into a bullet or a knife, or off of a cliff. Or even someone could make him drink bad tea. He's
Going to get his.
Cloudy with a really good chance of Anvils.
Thank you NovelaMaven for your great recap for last night and for all of the ones that you have done throughout this show. It has been wonderful to read your detailed and witty renditions and without them I would have only understood about half of what was going on. So I am very grateful to you for your interest and dedication to this TN. I hope to read your recaps again on Passion y poder, which I will be watching next. I would also like to compliment Mauricio for his very timely recaps and well written translations and most graciously stepping in when needed to make sure we got our "fix". AuntyAnn you were very terrific to commit to doing recaps and I loved reading them. Really excellent details and much appreciated. So thank you one and all.
This episode was very good and seemed to be coming to some conclusions (finally) and like others I was a bit disappointed that the anvils had not been struck on the most deserving given the little time left. I do expect something more in tonight's episode and I can't wait for them all to realize Veronica is alive. What a dust up that will be!!. I am surprised that Rebecca took the news so well. I thought she'd be devastated. Don't get what's up with Salma at this point with Jorge. Oh well, it is only a TN after all. So who will fall tonight? Aaron, Virginia or Manuel?
Gale
Thanks for stopping by.
"Cloudy with a really good chance of Anvils."
hahahaha! We can only hope.
Gale,
Thank you for the lovely comment. I think I can speak for Mauricio and AuntyAnn too when I say this has been our pleasure. I'm looking forward to tonight's episode too!
I loved "Cloudy with a chance of anvils".
Thank you Gale. It has been pleasure recapping this one. I'm looking forward to tonight as well. Hopefully, the anvils start.
