Tres Veces Ana - # 33

Hi everyone! I am out of town this week and unable to recap. Please use this page for the discussion and if anyone wants to provide a quick summary, I will upload it into the main post at a later point! Thanks all and Jarifa and Urban in particular for providing the below excellent summaries!




Jarifa's recap


As Santiago/Marcelo continues to watch from his hiding place, Ana Leticia talks to Ana Laura about how she really understands what her uncle Mariano is going through due to she herself having to bury the great love of her life. She talks about her honeymoon and the "rune of love" symbol tattoo which was going to protect the love she had with Marcelo (Santiago) forever. Flashback time was included.

Remedios reads Soledad the riot act and makes her answer to what she found in the box. She is extremely critical of Soledad's actions keeping Ana Lucía from her family but still has tears in her eyes when Soledad talks about Ana Lucía taking the place of her dead daughter as Santiago took the place of Remedios' dead husband. Soledad is defiant in having kept Ana Lucía for herself and not having returned her to her family.

At the funeral parlor, uncle Mariano has a flashback: we see Marcelo, Mariano, Jennifer and Ana Leticia at a restaurant. Ana Leticia has just made a cheeky remark. Jennifer is uncomfortable and leaves for the bathroom. Ana Leticia follows. Mariano asks Marcelo to rein his wife in. Marcelo has no plans for that but confronts Mariano on how he treats Jennifer: having Jennifer out to Costa Paraíso every once in a while and living the swinging single lifestyle the rest of the time. At the funeral home, Mariano apologizes to his dead Jennifer.

Ramiro is talking to crazy Valentín. Ramiro insists that Ana Laura will be his. Valentín insists she belongs to him. Sort of pointless. They insult each other's manhood. Valentín then says he has Ana Laura eating from the palm of his hand and he can do whatever he wants with her. This incenses Ramiro. Threats all around.

Evaristo arrives at the funeral home. He just had to come. Jennifer's death affected him so deeply. Ernestina sees him and turns white with shock. Why? She identifies him as Marcelo's private detective, his right hand man. Jennifer's brother approaches Evaristo and asks him to investigate his sister's death to see if it really was an accident. Ana Leticia is flitting around trying to hear what they are talking about. She is visibly concerned over that little talk.

Which Ana is Santiago still in love with? To me it seemed that it is becoming clearer that he still is in love with Ana Lericia. How will he explain to Ana Lucía that he is married to her sister and that her family is still looking for her?

Ana Leticia returns to the apartment. This time the photos are not out of place but one of her photos with Marcelo is missing. She is convinced Marcelo is back.

All in all another fun episode. I cannot wait for Ana Leticia to see Marcelo.


Urban's recap: 

Ramiro encountered Valentin at the center. He wanted to talk; Valentin not so much.

Remedios confronted Soledad, demanding the truth. She took the box out from under the bed and showed her the articles.

SantMarc watched Ana Llorona and Ana Leticia through the crack in the door. Ana Leticia put on the perfume that always revved his motor. She was wearing a lot-cut grey top and a lace curtain black skirt with a skin belt (a style that must be annoying to wear), totally for Mariano's benefit. She talked about how it seems like yesterday that Marcelo died and how he was her great love. This made Ana Llorona cry on her shoulder while Ana Leticia had a contemptuous look over her shoulder. Since she had her back to the crack in the door, SantMarc didn't see that.

Llorona apologized for crying on the blouse, but Bad Seed told her not to worry; she'll change. She did so with her back to SantMarc, who saw the tattoo. Bad Seed explained the tattoo to Llorona while SantMarc looked more confused than ever.

Valeria (?) and her colleague talked biz at the computer before she talked to Julieta, telling her she will have to close the boutique.

At the funeral Jenny's brother and Mariano were dressed in tasteful all-black shirts, jackets, and pants; no ties. Ernestina was in tasteful black with pearls. Mariano cried.

Bad Seed picked up a framed photo of herself with SantMarc for a second, then left with Llorona to go to the funeral. Her black sleeveless blouse made her attire more suitable, but not enough. After they left the room SantMarc walked in and looked at the photos.

After Soledad tried to waffle again, Remedios forced her to admit that Ana Lucia was the little girl her family was searching for.

Miranda came to the DF mansion to see Ernestina and learned of Jenny's death from Leonore.

The coffin was moved into place. Mariano trembled as he cried. He opened the top part to look at Jenny. Flashback to an evening when they dined with Bad Seed and Marcelo, which must have been shortly after their honeymoon. Bad Seed made a remark about pitying women who get married and their husbands leave them alone. She and Jenny go to the powder room and the men talk about that.
Marcelo didn't think it was fair for Mariano to only see Jenny once a month because of their current addresses, telling him that to others it will look like he was playing her. Mariano cried harder at that memory. Bad Seed arrived and embraced Mariano, uncomfortable with him crying.

Valentin drank too much beer while Ramiro had coffee. Valentin boasted that Llorona loves him because of how she kissed him. He was trying to provoke Ramiro, who was on to his game. He told him he may be on top now but this will not last. Valentin had a flashback to Gina's nasty rejection after the “accident” where she told him he was pathetic and that she would marry Ramiro. He ends up telling him he won't do this to him again. Ramiro seemed to realize he was dealing with a nut case.

Free Spirit returned to the pension, wondering what Soledad and Remedios were talking about locked in a room. Maribel taunted her with Soledad not being able to accept that she was the lover of a married man, rubbing salt in the wound. “You will always be The Other and the Loser.” Bitch.

Soledad was telling Remedios about rescuing Free Spirit from the lake. “I gave her life, like a mother,” she said.

More of the same with Ramiro and Valentin, ending with Ramiro telling him he will discover his secrets. Evil look and thought from Valentin as Ramiro walked out.

Bad Seed knelt on the couch and clung to Mariano like a cheap suit. Llorona still doesn't believe what's happened. She and Ernestina talked about her dead parents. Llorona has never stopped believing that Free Spirit is alive somewhere.

Soledad begged for understanding how she reacted to rescuing Free Spirit, saying she was a gift from God in the wake of her own daughter's death. Remedios didn't fall for it. “No; it was a feeling of the moment. She reminded Soledad that she had to have returned Free Spirit to her family. Soledad claimed to find out much later and that having Free Spirit gave her peace and hope. She turned this back on Remedios by reminding her of her feelings for Santiago in the wake of her husband's death. This didn't work because Remedios was willing to let him go to find the life he lost. She reminded Soledad that she needed to do the same. She had all those years to do it. Soledad refused again to return Free Spirit to anyone.

SantMarc got out of a cab.

Ernestina told Bad Seed to help Llorona to rest because the prosthesis was hurting her. BS nodded, then went back to pawing Mariano. Evaristo arrived and gave Mariano his condolences much to Bad Seed's displeasure. Ernestina was disturbed at the sight of him; Bad Seed lied to her, claiming not to know him, saying that Marcelo always kept his work far away from home. Evaristo then addressed Jenny's brother, who then asks him to investigate Jenny's death. “I want to know if it was really an accident.” Bad Seed heard this.

Miranda met Rodrigo at a restaurant. No important conversation.

SantMarc wrote a note to Bad Seed and read it back to himself about how unfair it is that he should now be confused about whom he really loves while Free Spirit remembered the conversation with him in which he asked her to swear that she doesn't know him. He talked about the dreams. Anibal scolded her for being distracted during the rehearsal. She got annoyed and resigned. He was shocked. Maribel gloated as he promoted her to principal dancer.

Bad Seed went back to the beach house and saw an empty frame on the sideboard. She looked frightened as she realized Marcelo had been there.

Thank you Jarifa and Uban for your wonderful recaps! What a treat!

Urban- Yes, Valentin letting slip that Ramiro had stolen a woman from him before was a red flag moment for Ramiro. So looks like he wants to get back at Ramiro, as well as Mariano, when really, it was Gina who did him wrong on both counts.

Well, that little show Ana Leticia put on for Ana Laura convinced SantMarc that she is deeply in love with him and mourned his "death".

I'm annoyed with Ana Lucia for letting this Santi thing affect her job/art. We've all been through heartbreak, but you've got to learn to compartmentalize. She just threw away an awesome opportunity to do what she loves. I hope she pulls it together soon.


 

Thanks to you both for the recaps of last night. I missed bits and pieces as I had cable issues as some storms went through.

There are more than our fair share of but jobs in this tale. Though I'm glad Remmmy let Sourpuss have it, didn't seem to move the old bat to realize she robbed that girl of her life and family. And it has nothing to do with what happened with Santi. What will happen now is a bit worrying. Soledad going to go calling on Ev again?

AnaLe is beyond the pale now and there has GOT to be an anvil waiting at the end of this tale for her. But my guess is she will dupe poor Santi into thinking she's the love his life when he returns, at least until she can "take care of him". I just have to swtich off when she hang dogs on Mariano now. It's just so wrong.

WTH on Valentin? Why do people not realize their phones have recorders. Gees Ramiro, press the button, get the nut case live and play it back to Llora.

Daisynjay
 

One thing that I find continually annoying in novelas is the way they don't mark the passage of time. Something tells me that Ana Lucia will end up pregnant, which she will discover as soon as her income is gone. While I don't like the idea of that it could become a unique plot point in view of there being an identical with an evil agenda. Ana Leticia would never want to be pregnant and lose her figure, would she? Didn't think so, but she would be disposed to exploit either or both of her sisters to have a child to hold onto a man.
 

It was astounding, that even with Remedios reminding her of the long suffering of the family, Soledad gave not one flying flip about that. Not a single thought or regret for the family and their pain all these 20 years as they searched for Ana Lucia. Wow!
 

That didn't surprise me all that much. It's very consistent with Soledad's attitude all along. I hope Remedios rats her out to SantMarc.
 

Urban- I was glad you included the scene about Santi getting out of the cab. He was wearing a dark grey tank top and dark checked shirt and he got out in front of the funeral home where Jenny is. But then the writers/editors just completely forgot about it, and next had him in his regular tank and shirt in his hotel room contemplating the picture of him and Ana Leticia that he nabbed. Seems like they had originally filmed a scene of him going to the funeral home to observe folks, but then decided to scrap it. But someone in the editing room forgot that one little scene.
 

Hopefully we aren't getting slicing and dicing already!!

But then again, I could stand to see less of "weeping" Soledad. The temptation for a good slap is so great with that woman. How she looks that poor girl in the face every day is beyond me. Talk about selfish.


 

Thank you, Jarifa and Urban. I must confess that I'm getting tired of Bad Seed smirking and grimacing over people's shoulders and behind their backs. Just once I'd like to see someone catch her in the act!
 

Hey guys, I read y'all every now and then. Even though I know y'all don't do Unimás productions, y'all should give the Moisés novela a shot. It's really worth it and I really recommend it.
 

Anon1:20- Right now we are recapping Yago which is on Unimas. And Kat/5 Ft. Latina is recapping La Ronca de Oro (also Unimas) on her blog http://5ftlatina.com/cohete/. Don't think anyone on this site has ever recapped one of the Brazilian biblical sagas though. I just don't think those have garnered as much interest, regardless of which channel they're on.
 

Thanks Jarifa and Urban! I'm behind watching by a couple of episodes but I don't wait to read the recaps! Actually it saves me a lot of time watching the episodes bec I can fast forward through some scenes.

I'm surprised AnaLet isn't more angry with Ev. She paid him a lot of money to kill her husband and obviously he failed. She should demand her money back.
 

It's not as biblical as you would think though. It doesn't incite religion or anything. It's actually a telenovela based on that story with villain included and everything. But anyways, I was just suggesting, thanks for the response. :)

P.S. If anyone is interested in watching, first chapter will be on Univisión this Saturday at 10pm/9c/7pac and the rest on Unimás at 8pm/7c. It was a huge hit in Brazil in 2015.
 

Anon- I don't doubt the Brazilians have made it exciting...and sexy...I've seen the ads. :) Thanks for recommending it.
 

Thanks, Jarifa and Urban.

Ana Lucia has become the new Ana Laura, just crying, crying, crying all the time. Maribel was mean to her, but honestly Ana Lucia did know he was married so Maribel spoke some truth too. A shame Santi called Ana Lu saying only "I'm sorry." Hombre, how about telling the girl the whole story?

Valentín was so funny trying to get a rise out of Ramiro. Oh, the kisses, her skin, yadda yadda. Will Ramiro soon discover the internet like Santi and look up Valentín's story?
 

No prob! :)
 

Thanks Jarifa and UA for the recaps. No one is very likable in this one at the moment. But nice that the action has picked up a bit.
 

After "Hotel" ended, I have been watching 3 Anas off and on and haven't really been able to get into it much. Yesterday I did watch and decided to come back to this blog to catch up. Anyway, thank you to Jarifa and Urban for your fine recapping today. I had almost forgotten how entertaining this blog can be. :) I'm laughing as I read about "Bad Seed" and Llorona". I am going to continue to watch 3 Anas till it ends and keep up with this blog. I have missed you all!
 

Cynthia, this is turning out to be just a fun over the top melodrama.
 

Hi Cynthia! Your timing couldn't be better - it was dragging for a while, but it's finally started to pick up. It's no Hotel, but now that things are really happening it's quite entertaining!
 

Hey, Cynthia! Ditto what Julie said. Glad to see you back.
 

Many thanks to Jarifa and Urban. Great recaps of last night's action, especially since I missed the last 20 minutes.

I hope the writers don't leave us hanging for too long. I want AnaLu to know the truth already. I want Sole to be found out. I don't want AnaLu to be preggers, but she probably will be just to complicate things even more.

Does anyone know if this version is following the one that starred Lucero? I did not watch that one.

Hasta Pronto
 

Thanks Jarifa, Julie, and Vivi! So nice to see you all again. I am so looking forward to the rest of 3 Anas and your recaps and comments. You all do such a good job and keep us entertained. With all that's going on in the world and the country, it's nice to have an "out" and go into the world of novelas. :) Now on to what really happened to Jennifer. Doesn't anyone (in the novela) ever notice how guilty Ana Leticia AKA "Bad Seed" looks? Of course her family never notices! She's got them all hoodwinked. ;)
 

Thank you everybody for keeping the discussion going today and special thanks to Jarifa and Urban for these fantastic recaps!! They are now added to the main body of the post!

Sorry I haven't been around this week and in the comments, but have been on the road and the recaps and comments have been so very helpful keeping in the loop (thank you Sneaky for your recap yesterday as well, I added that to the main post already too)! A lot to catch up on and it seems our plot is finally moving along.
