Tres Veces Ana - # 36, In which Valentin is the winner in every scene
Labels: ana
I think that the woman talking to Ernestina was Miranda.
Ana Leticia was at her creepy best with uncle Mariano. I could not believe that she was lying on the couch curled all around him and he allowed it! Every so often/couple of episodes uncle Mariano gives a look like he is uncomfortable or surprised with what Ana Leticia said or did to him but he always catches himself and then reacts to her as if she were three years old. Then she needed her uncle to come comfort her because she had a terrible nightmare. Give me a break! Guess those are the kinds of dreams you have when you are a murderer. This whole incesty storyline is so nasty but so well done.
Santiago was at his sulky skulky best when he appeared just long enough at Ana Lucía's practice to ruin it for her and give Maribel reason for a nice big smirk when she messed up; then at Remedios' just long enough to give her the feeling that someone was behind her. What was that all about? A trip down memory lane?
Interesting that Orlando is now calling Evaristo "gramps" and Evaristo is now calling Orlando" grandson". Maybe that is how Evaristo calls all of his thugs and thugs in the making.
Another good one!
So again, more secrets. So Tin had pulled a gun on dear Uncle, and he still says nothing about this so Llora cuts free from this dude? Maybe not at the funeral, but Llora trusts him and he could open his mouth and tell her he has reservations and would prefer they don't go out. Or tell the other brain dead adults around the girl. Lord knows Llora listens to anyone and will act accordingly.
And AnaLe does continue the creepy. I have to keep reminding myself that unfortunately, this family looks at these two girls like they are still the tragic 8-10 year olds running around. I think Mariano really does see himself as a father figure so in that context, he will hug and care for the girls. We just know that for AnaLe, it's a whole different ball game. Her nightmare fed into the whole concept these girls need almost childlike care. Which they don't....she and Llora need a good psychiatrist.
I'm starting to wonder what the heck the use of Maribel is really, besides being the worst BFF ever. Are we getting these snarky vibes from her as setup that she is going to go fully to the dark side at some point? Otherwise, really sick of her smirks and non-plot.
Have to say, I so enjoy the Evarista moments. One of the best TN villians ever. I shouldn't enjoy his moments so much, but he's so smooth. Right out of a Film Noir movie of the 50's.
For a minute I thought the boutique employee would ditch Soledad's work, but it looks like Soledad will end up working there and possibly running into Ernestina.
Love that Ramiro finally saw Marcelo, but I'm still perplexed that he didn't open that envelope to check out the photo. I think he's been scammed.
Please don't let Ana Lucia be pregnant.
As for AnaMeMeMe, I doubt she would ever want to get pregnant at all. She would have her eggs harvested and use a surrogate, trick one of her sisters into having the baby for her via medical assistance, or refuse outright, then have her tubes tied. She is not of maternal stock and knows it. I also doubt she'd want to lose her figure.
What is Ev up to? How will Ramiro and SantMarc become enemies? This is giving me a headache. Eric del Castillo is obviously having a ball playing this role, but Ev's ability to be the puppet master of all is getting on my nerves. Next we'll learn that he was hired 40 years ago to fool Ernestina into believing her novio had cheated on her. Seriously, the guy (or his kids/grandkids) are everywhere.
I cannot believe that after knowing Ramiro his whole life, Mariano so easily believed he was trash, based on nothing he'd seen himself, and practically beat him up to get him out of Ana Llora's life. But then he sees she's dating a guy he knows conned him for money, held a gun to him at one point, obviously hates him, and has demonstrated to him in the past that he's a bit unhinged, and he lets it slide?! Unbelievable!
How did Valentin get that place cleaned up even if he was up all night? If he doesn't work, what income maintains him? I'm not completely convinced that he's paralyzed and we know nothing about his parents. Him tearing up the check in the previous episode makes no sense if he is actually poor and existing on money collected on the street when he plays the oboe in public.
Ramiro's father is a garden-variety novela toxic father who is trying to control him long past any point where it is even remotely appropriate. He sees women as toys and to him Ana Llorona is broken while AnaMeMeMe is whole. He doesn't see past the outer package. He must have been a lousy husband.
I'm actually getting tired of Ev. He is in practically every other scene now. Also, every plan works out perfectly for him. He knew that Ram would be suspicious of why he was with Orlando and concocted the Abuelo story. Also, he knew Ram wouldn't be quick to give him money so he planned a little tete a tete with Orlando that worked perfectly. I'm tired of him spinning everyone's wheels with nothing coming back to bite him.
Ram should have stolen some things from Val's apt bec then Val wouldn't have known it was Ram who broke in. I'm sure that's why he cleaned up the place immediately, knowing Ram would rat him out.
Lost a lot of respect for Remedios.
Urban- In the flashback to Val and Gina speaking in the park, when he told her his bright idea about becoming a professional oboe player as a means to earning money, they mentioned that his father had died and that he/they had already burned through the inheritance Val got. In a previous flashback (the first one Val had about Gina), she implied that his family's wealth had not been as much as she had expected. That was when she complained about him not taking her out to eat or giving her the life she had expected, and she scoffed at him talking about how hard he was working for Mariano's company. So his father IS dead, as he told Ernestina. And he did come from money, although not super rich. I'm guessing mom cut him out of her life when she saw what a fool he'd made of himself for money-grubbing Gina.
So, TWO big reveals in one episode - Valentin and Mariano, then Santiago and Ramiro.
I'm dying to see if Mariano warns Llora about Valentin and tells her not to see him. He sure was emphatic about not wanting her to be with Ramiro, but Ramiro never pulled a gun on Mariano!
AnaLet chose an interesting dress to wear to a memorial mass. Y'know, just because it's black doesn't mean it's appropriate. I'd hate to see what she'd wear to a wedding.
Viridiana's employee is the woman in my nightmares when I'm unemployed. This is Soledad's life and this woman has carelessly mislaid her contact info! Argh!! I assume that it will all be sorted out quickly enough. Eventually AnaLu will go to the boutique to see her mother, and Viridiana will be so confused!
Oh, Jarifa, thanks for the Abue's friend's name. One more I will try to not forget!!
Daisynjay - so true about Evaristo - a fabulous villain! And I, too, was very surprised to say the least about Mariano's mild reaction to Tin.
Urban - too funny about Ana Let and her future babies, and likely so true based on what've seen of her so far!
Carvivlie - I kept thinking the same thing during Ramiro's break-in scene, or take some pictures at least! What are these smart phones for? He didn't even look around long enough to see Gina's photo - just came in, saw a collage of Llora and left. Then answered the phone right outside of the apartments.
Vivi - I am trying to figure out too how they would become enemies. Ev has something up his sleeve! But you are also so very right, Mariano knew Ramiro all his life (as did his own father) and yet both distrust him and Mariano believes a gun pointing con-artist over Ramiro. So if the trend holds, Ramiro will believe whatever Ev told him.
Julie - ohhh this boutique saleswoman who "helped" Sole is indeed every job hunter's nightmare. But I was already impressed she actually passed on the good work, like Urban, I was half expecting her not to do it.
Anon - very interesting theory! Though Rem did say that she never had children, but a possibility of spinning in a supposedly dead child always exists!
Cynthia - Ana Le's creepy lusting after her uncle is indeed very weird! Let's see where this creepy story line goes
It'll be interesting to see what Mariano does about Valentin. The trouble is Mariano thinks Ana Laura's lack of a leg puts her out of the running (pun not intended) for a man to love her. Will he think that it would be altruistic to let his niece date Valentin even though he's nuts because a man in a wheelchair is the only type that would want her? One of the reasons he buys that Ramiro is after her money is because he can't see himself falling in love with a less than perfect body.
Valentin sure is quick cleaning up a mess. I kept thinking he took Leonor and Ana Laura to an alternate apartment.
It is stupid that tio prefers Val to Ramiro, but that is how it is in real life. Yes, he must think he really loves Laura because he is in wheelchair himself. How
dare Mariano, makes me mad when he thinks Laura is less than. Vivi you are so right about Ev, he probably has a story regarding Abu.
