Tres Veces Ana #46 - Former Enemies' First Dates & A Virgin Wig's Fate

We continue where we left off as Santi dressed as Marcelo has a flashback. Remembering Ramiro's words, he ponders why Leticia wants a divorce & doesn't want him to find Lucia.

Cue the devil herself, Ana Lucifer barges into her grandmother's room while Ernestina is checking her Tinder. Just as abruptly as she entered, she asks her what she's up to. Ernestina lies & says it's just a message from Miranda (but we all expect it's someone that may or may not rhyme with BRodrigo....or *crosses fingers* BEvaristo!). Leticia says she came back for her. Ernestina calls her out & says she thought she wanted to stay w/ her uncle. Leticia says in spite of him begging her to stay, she knew that her abue needed her more. Gag me. She then asks for the earrings Ernestina gave to Jenny to match a dress she bought. Indeed, Leticia's heart is more frigid than the body that hasn't even gone cold yet.
Inaki asks the secretary about the key he gave her. Lucky for him, she hadn't had a chance to give it back to Leticia. He concocts some story about needing her to run urgent files he needs signed. He rummages in her desk for the key & like Jaime Bond, he goes through Leticia's drawer. I'm not sure if he's looking for money or is just being a nosy stalker. As usual not to let us down, the writers include a near-miss with the passport as he puts everything back.

We return to Ernestina inviting Leticia to eat with the family. Leticia says she has plans to have dinner w/ Inaki. Instead, we see her head to a salon to get a Llora makeover. The hairdresser comments that the hair is virgin (ohohoho, much like our Llora. I bet the writers thought they were clever for that one). She limps while modeling the Llora wig and I can only imagine what trouble she plans to cause. I'm guessing this might be one of the ways Ramiro's plan will backfire on him.

Remedios gets dropped off at Santi's place by the only Taxista left in Mexico. He tells her to ask Santi to come visit & that the taxista team (of one?) misses him. Santi as Marcelo gets another flashback entering Alfredo's car. Alfredo asks about the confrontation & Santi responds that she's not telling the truth regarding why she wants a divorce (having expected her to come clean about her affair w/ Daniel). He asks for marriage advice, but Alfredo says not to ask him as he's lied to his wife (Remedios) for so long. Alfredo mentions his intention to do better by her & that he owes Marcelo alot after what he's done for him. Marcelo then sees Daniel, to which Alfredo asks what he plans. Marcelo cocks his gun exclaiming that he plans to kill him, kill them both. End flashback & we see him face-to-face w/ his madrina. She's shocked to see him as he is, he explains he just recalled a memory & remembers her hubby.

We see Inaki in Mission Impossible Part Dos. He finally sees the passport & connects that Ana Leprosa was in Costa paraiso on June 9th, the day Jen died. His reaction is very nonchalant & I'm left wondering if he's suspicious at all or if he had already suspected as such. Llora then interrupts his musings & is calling him b/c she can't reach Leticia, but finds out Leticia lied about having dinner w/ Inaki. "White feather", as Inaki calls him, went to grab some din-din so he has the secretary check jefe's desk for those signed papers while Inaki swiftly puts the key back. 

<<Ay, if I see one more Icy Hot commercial w/ Shaq, I'm going to drop my tv on a hobo!>>

Ramiro gets a call from a nervous Llora & immediately recognizes her voice (maybe Letonta won't be as successful playing Llora after all?). He confesses he's got a date w/ Leticia. Llora is shocked, but he confirms it's not the 1st lie Letonta has told them & it won't be the last. Just then, Llora hears Leti's arrival & is left wondering what's going on. She calls Leticia who explains that they misunderstood her plans. She's out w/ Daniel, not Inaki. (Busted like a boosted buster in a busty bustier!)

Remedios and Santicelo are discussing his attire. She didn't recognize him, especially b/c he hates ties. And it's not just his attire, it's his eyes & gaze. "Ana Lu was right, you're not the same". He says he's dressed as Marcelo to help his recollection. But it's only fragments that makes him feel even more trapped & confuzzled. She asks what she can do. The sad music starts. In tears, he cries "I just need you to hug me, I feel scared...and lonely." (Awwwwww. As I mentally push Rem out of the way, I hug my tv. *Whispers* It's ok Santi, Anna is here *smooshes boobs even closer*)

<<Ugh, damn you commercial breaks & your interfering ways! I was having a moment!!>>

Anibal tries to convince Ana Lu to not give up on her dreams, or otherwise end up in regret. He offers to speak to her mom, but she insists Solebad is stubborn. He then offers double her pay but it's still not enough to sway her.

Ramiro gets a little strokey as he confesses to LeTeaseYa that her words affected him & wonders what would've happened if Llora hadn't shown up that day. She responds that she knows exactly what would've happened (yeah, it ends with leaving money on the nightstand). Too bad he ditched her for Llora. He admits that for so long he's had his heart on Llora, but he can't seem to resist this attraction he feels for her. LetsGettitOn replies she only needs 1 night. He says he can't accept that, but that fires her up even more. She likes that he's a good guy, but mischief makes the fondling grow heartier. He accepts this based on the fact he's resigned himself to friendship w/ Llora & respecting her relationship w/ Villantin. He laments they could never have a real relationship b/c of of her family. He explains how alike they are in their losses, She interjects that she's not capable of being satisfied. He feels that while everyone else finds happiness, she could too with someone who can make her find love again. She gets sad & talks of an impossible love (her mind seems to wander off). When he inquires who it is, she catches herself & claims that it is him. She says it's impossible as he is her "Amor Prohibido" (Star-Crossed Lover). He puts it that she made it impossible by turning everyone against him. She says it's nothing she can't fix. He says he wants her to be his partner, in front of the whole world. She's got a big Cheshire grin.

Mariano bumps into Viridiana (Sue) and invites her to dine w/ him. She's not so willing as she has alot to do. He says he had his lawyer cancel the eviction, so she has more time & he'll throw in real-estate advice, free of charge! She laughs & finally concedes. They have a nice dinner where she makes sure he knows she doesn't play around. He says he now has a different view of her than he expected. She hopes to erase her perception of him too. They find out they have similar taste in food! Giggles and googly eyes.  In the background, cupid is shooting arrows like it's the Hunger Games!

Santicelo and Rem discuss her hubster. He explains that he and Evaristo were employees of his, but there's alot he still doesn't understand. His real name is certain. They both also confess their knowledge about the triplets and that Solebad always knew who he was, which is why she didn't want him near Ana Lu. And that's why he needs to stop her before they leave the city!

Looking forward to it, Anna!
 

Ditto, Anna!

Is Ramiro's crazy plan working? Just what is AnaLet planning with that wig? Bedroom role playing with Ramiro? Killing someone, disguised as her sister? ;-)
 

I am looking forward to seeing how AB does when she tries to play AnaLet trying to pass herself off as AnaLlora. If AnaLet is supposed to get it exactly right, then zzzz. But it would be funny if she grossly overplayed it.
 

Looking forward, Anna!

Vivi, I think you've got something there. I dearly hope she doesn't trap him into bed however she is planning it. If he ever boinked her he would definitely have to be dead drunk because I'm sure that otherwise he could feel her lack of a soul in that situation.
 

Wouldn't he know immediately it was AnaLet once he saw both full legs?
 

That would be in the event he is fully sober and there is adequate light. Notice how AnaMeMeMe was trying to imitate how Ana Llorona walks? All she would have to do is wear a very long skirt or loose palazzo pants long enough to cover her shoes.

Then get him dead drunk, in the dark, and.... [shudders at the thought].
 

I was thinking she'd try to sleep with Valentin as Ana Llora, or she'd let Valentin catch her making out with Ramiro as Ana Llora. But honestly I have no idea what's up her sleeve.
 

Any or all of the above are possible.

The irony of this is that Valentin would probably be easier for her to seduce because he doesn't truly love Ana Llorona; Ramiro does. However, Valentin's paralysis is an Ick Factor for AnaMeMeMe.

I still wonder whether he is actually paralyzed or faking it at this point.
 

Holy Moses, that's long. I'm going to need to edit my posts down, lest you all end up with eye hernias. Ok, can I just say that I kinda want Ram & Leti to work out. Idk if it was just me, but I feel like he gave her hope & she seemed in her face to respond to his love confessions. He might be the key to a better Leti. Ah, who am I kidding? He's a good guy & she's a murderess, it can never be. Never....
 

Anna, that was very good and really not too long. I liked your Batman-like episode title, too. And I'm glad the commercial breaks didn't do you in.

At first I was impressed by how well Ramiro was pushing AnaLet's buttons, but then I realized that she probably knew what he was doing and was playing him for her own amusement.
 

Thanks Julie :) I also wondered if she was wise to his game but she seemed really sincere & affected by his entreaty. I'm betting you're right about the Llora switcharoo on Tin, only b/c (I edited it out for brevity) there's a scene where she's being invited to dinner w/ the family & she has a flashback to the convo w/ TioM about Llora's infatuation w/ Tin. It's right after that scene that she heads to the salon to get the wig. It's all coming together now.

Btw, does anyone get if Inaki figured out about the passport? Idk if it's b/c he was so nonchalant, but it didn't seem like he's put 2 + 2 together just yet. Maybe a much later epiphany is to be expected....
 

Great job, Anna! It wasn't long at all. But you should add in a page break, so that it doesn't take up too much space on the front page and push other posts off too soon.

I don't think Ana Leticia knew that Ramiro was playing her, but I do think she already has her own plans for screwing him (both literally and figuratively). Her true admission of an impossible love was about Mariano, but then she had to save herself by claiming she was talking about Ramiro. We'll see who ends up screwing whom, but for now Ramiro at least managed to show Ana Llora that AnaLet is a big old liar, who is willingly seeing him behind Llora's back.

When AnaLetMeGiveMe basically demanded those earrings that Ernestina was going to gift Jenny, that should have been a big old red flag for Ernestina that her granddaughter has a screw loose, or at the very least is totally insensitive. How can she go on believing AnaLet is some sweet innocent?

I also wanted to give SantMarc a hug when he asked for it. Poor guy is SO confused.

One of the half revelations we got was that Rem's husband was involved in something bad before Marcelo helped him escape "that life" and he became a private detective. Sounded like he was involved with organized crime or something beforehand. Remedios is as clueless about that mysterious past life as she is about her hubby being a private detective.
 

Great work, Anna. Same comments as Vivi on the length and the page break.

Vivi, I think Ernestina is in major denial. She needs to believe that AnaMeMeMe is a nice girl because she raised her. However, we all know she was a sociopath before being in Ernestina's custody. This is vastly unrealistic for identicals raised together.

I agree that demanding the earrings shows tremendous insensitivity, but AnaMeMeMe (or Ana Lucifer; good one!) wouldn't know anything about that. She is only ever out for herself. She has a complete zero-sum mentality in that any love given to anyone else is love that she is being denied. As if that were something quantifiable, like money.
 

Abuela did seem a little sour with AnaLet when she asked about the earrings, but probably won't give it a second thought until episode 115+ when suddenly she'll remember every obnoxious thing AnaLet ever did, show it to us in a flashback montage, and realize that this granddaughter is no good.

As far as Inaki and the passport, wellll... he realized that the date was the same as Jenny's death, and he knew that she didn't seem to want anyone to know she had traveled that day. He also seemed to know what that might mean. He also seemed to realize that this was probably not a coincidence. But it's still a big leap from there to "OMG she's a murderer." We'll see if he starts looking for more evidence, or if he just goes ahead and tries to blackmail her.
 

Anna, terrific recap. Thanks for the laughs and the details. My faves:

Busted like a boosted buster in a busty bustier!

She responds that she knows exactly what would've happened (yeah, it ends with leaving money on the nightstand).

Yep, I think we were all giving Santi a hug.

Hmmm, interesting suggestions on what AnaLe will do with her AnaLaura wig. Make out with Ramiro so Valentin can see it and go beserk? Make out with Valentin and pump him for info to please Mariano? Do something crass as AnaLaura so her sis will go down a peg in abuela's eyes?
 

I still can't believe Ernestina believed it when Ana Leticia told her that Ana Llora caused their parents' accident by acting like a brat and grabbing the steering wheel. He very first reaction should have been, "Sorry sweetheart, but that sounds like something YOU would do. Are you sure you aren't mixing up YOUR actions with your sister's?" But, NO! She swallowed the lie whole and then spreads it to Mariano. The woman is blind.
 

This is Standard Operating Procedure in story-building by TN writers. Slut blackens Virgin's name in the eyes of Everyone That Matters to make things impossible for her for 75% of the story. That leaves it up to Fate, Hero, or Faithful Servant to solve the problem.
 

Anna,
Awesome job on your first recap!

I don't know if Ram is fooling AnaLet. I don't like that he asked her to meet him. She might figure him out. He's being too obvious. He should have "accidently" bumped into her at a bar or club she hangs out at. That way it would look like a casual encounter. Anyway, I hope that this doesn't backfire on Ram. I too worry about that wig.

Hasta Pronto!
 

Thanks you for all your support & advice. I'm still learning, so if you see anything I might be missing or need to fix, please don't hesitate to let me know. I hope Ernestina gets a clue and fast. Hopefully, Santi is also close to learning what his widow is really about. I can't wait for tonight b/c I'm dying to know what she plans to do w/ that wig.
 

Anna - a great recap. Thanks ! Not too long at all. Some hilarious, snarky comments. I
 

Thanks, Anna - this was great! Multiple appropriate nicknames for Ana Le are awesome!

I too can't decide if Ramiro's plan is working, or if Ana Le would out-smart him, now armed with the wig and all. Interesting...


 

Great recapping Anna! I really enjoyed it.

I too am wondering what Ana Le is going to do masquerading as Ana Llora. Something tells me it's to seduce Ramiro and have the real Ana Llora walk in on them. Did anyone catch how uninterested Ana Llora is with Valentin? Grandma keeps pushing him on Ana Llora but I can tell she clearly is not in love with that guy. She likes him as a friend and that's as far as it goes, no more.
 

Hmm... if Ana Let allows Ana Llora to walk in on her seducing Ramiro as Ana Llora, that will only prove to Ana Llora that her sister is mean. That doesn't seem like something AnaLet would do, does it?

But one thing AnaLet would do - has already done, in fact - is try to get people to think ill of Ana Llora (like when she blamed her for their parents' accident). AnaLet could put on the wig, be seen kicking some puppies or whatever, and let Ana Llora's reputation suffer. Just to make sure that Grandma, Leonora, Ramiro, Mariano, etc. don't get to liking her too much.
 

You are so right Julie. I guess Ana Le just wants to masquerade around as Ana Llora to do bad things, that way others can think that Ana Llora is responsible. I hope someone uncovers her dastardly deeds very soon!
 

Great job AnaBanana. And love not just your nickname for all the sobriquets you gave to AnaLeticia...AnaLucifer, AnaLeprosa, AnaLeteasya, AnaLetsGettion. Amazing.

And liked this about the Tio Mariano/Vridiana cena:

"In the background, cupid is shooting arrows like it's the Hunger Games!"

Thoroughly enjoying this incipient romance. It doesn't have the ick factor of AnaLaura/Valentin, nor the trainwreck potential of Ramiro/Ana Leticia. Nor the dreary tears of Santiago/Ana Lucia. Plus, okay..I have the hots for Tio. Have had from the beginning. So delighted to see this new story turn pop up.

Terrific debut. Not too long. And every one after this will be easier to write. So happy that you have joined the recapping team.




 


Thank you, AnnaBanana, for that lively recap. I am very late to the party. I have a daughter named Jana whose buds sometimes refer to her as JanaBanana !!


Judyb...that Silver Fox is fine, I agree.
 

Anna- Let your recapping team know if you need help in adding the page break, so that.the recap doesn't take up so much space on the main page. It's just a matter of putting your cursor in the right place and clicking the little icon that looks like a broken page.
 

I'm going to fix the part you mentioned Vivi, and add in the page break once I figure out how to do that. In any case, you've all been so warm & lovely. I don't doubt that it'll get easier & hopefully, I get better as a writer. Each one of you adds a new perspective or layer that is much needed. I can't just read a blog post, I always try to make time to also read the comments (or at least skim through). The wit & intelligence of this group is unbeweaveable!

JudyB, I sooo agree. I love silver hair, and the combination of his icy-colored eyes *melts*. If he lets his niece get away w/ as much as she does, then point me to the adoption papers & sign me up!

Jajaja @ Susanlynn, yea it's either that or Anna Hannah Montana...so fruit it is :P
 

Anna, congrats on your first recap! It was great! It does get easier. :)
 

Great recap Anna. I liked what they liked, if my eyes weren't glazing over w/exhaustion I'd get specific, but I had to let you know how I appreciate you joining our recap team anyway.
Thanks!
