Tres Veces Ana #39and/or #44 - Lots of Lies While Planning The Next Play
Ram keeps Ana Leticia entertained—or is it the other way around since she’s going through a seductive striptease, while SanMarco admits to poor AnaLucia in Yaki’s bedroom(?) that he’s still in love with his wife as well as her now and it’s too complicated to explain. She, no longer feeling so lucky, tells him that she appreciates his honesty, but not to come looking for her again until he decides he’s going to get that divorce he promised her. Ana NSLucky leaves, thinking to race into the other apartment to Ram for comfort but, then decides not to, and gets into the elevator instead. Ram, meantime, admits to Ana MiMi the purely physical attraction he cannot control. He suggests it’s the physical similarity to her sister, Ana Laura. MiMi snickers and says well, since she’s thrown you over for that wheelchair bound loser, Valentin, Ram might as well have taken advantage of her attraction to him. Oh well, Ram’s loss, she taunts as the clothes go back on. Doesn’t he realize they both have a second chance at happiness. He is the only one who could make her whole again and take away the horrible bitterness she felt when Marcelo left her to her fate three years earlier. Ram tells her to hold her tongue.
P Soledad returns home and is greeted by Remedios who at this point has one for Sole: let Ana Lucia live her own life. She’s grown up and it’s about time Sole lets go of the chain she’s put around A Now Not So Lucky’s so call life. Orly hears the two women in the hall chatting and takes an illicit listen.
Sole blames herself for all the current problems. She ought to have gone somewhere else where nobody would have known them. Rem says you can’t pack all your troubles away and hide them in a suitcase.
At the restaurant, A Llora thinks better of asking Ram to show the bracelet to her abue. She agrees with him that it might just make her more anxious and wouldn’t be good for her health. She chats with Ram about all the people they’ve lost recently. A Llora wonders what might have been if he were still alive. Ram swallows hard and keeps mum.
Leonora keeps Ernestina company. TinTin rolls in to greet her and pay his respects. He talks Leonora into going down to the cafeteria for coffee. He pumps Erni for information about her having seen Marcelo. He wonders if the man really is still alive. She says it can’t be and she had to have made a mistake. Did TinTin know him? Tin Tin remembers being bullied by Marcelo and threatened to leave Mo alone from now on or else!! “Naw. Just interested in the strange circumstances,And, I’v heard so much about him from Ana Laura, his sister-in-law, and all, ” he lies.
Orly greets ANNSLucky at the gate and gives her a shoulder to cry on. He tries kissing her after that. The spirit has moved him—but, apparently still not Ana Lucia. She screams at him never to put a hand on her again! He swears his eternal and undying love for her but to no advantage (natch) and he wanders off.
Poor SanMarco, meanwhile, however, doesn’t know who he is when he looks in the mirror. He feels horrible about breaking the heart of the one sister and not having the courage to face the other, his wife. Yaki pretends to sympathize.
Maribel sees Orlando kissing Ana Lucia and jealousy finally gets the better of her. BFF? Hell you say! She now greets ANNSL with a gigantic slap and lets go of all the rancor and envy she’s carried all her life long.
Back at the hospital Erni explains it was all her imagination and that she doesn’t dare tell her granddaughters or fear of upsetting them both. We learn that Leo was the servant while Erni was the patron’s daughter. The two are like sisters (which in this universe ain’t all it’s held up to be…..) Ana Lu denies any interest in Orly. Bel-what-ain’t accuses her of wallowing in others’ admiration—especially Orly’s. Bel-the-Bestia has always had to play second fiddle to her and she’s sick and tired of it all.
SanMarco admits to Yaki how he hid from sight and is undecided about whether to return to his wife, Ana MiMi or not. Yaki suggests he and Ana Lucky high-tail it in his taxito and head for the hills, never to return again. (Of course, that would leave Ana MiMi for hi-hi-him, now wouldn’t it?) But, she misses him and still loves him! Even Yaki heard how much. It’s time he tell the truth to her about his loss of his memory. Yaki says he’s not thinking things through enough. After all, He’s not still yet been totally honest with Ana Lucky about her sister being his wife and with A Mim, How’s he going to admit that the other woman he’s madly in love with now is her other sister--not to mention her missing triplet…..After twenty years apart, they’ll hate each other all because of him. Is that really what Santi wants?
Bellowing Bel asks why A Lucky always has to think she deserves more than the rest of them, that she’s better than the rest of them all? Why? (Maybe because she is? Most tn heroins are. That’s what bein’ an alpha female is all about, right?)
Yaki insists fleeing his past and taking up with Ana Lucia is the better thing to do. “--After all, it’s been three years you’ve been out of Ana Letiia’s life and she’s almost ready to get over your death and start life over again. Let her. Why leave Ana Lucia hanging?” Santi has been given a lot to mull over, not to mention a pass from his BFF, Yaki, to take the high (or the lower, depending on how you in Viewerville may see it) road. (I say, “Giddyap, son!”)

Btw still unsure how to access messages, Ria. But I typed up a summary of last night's epi to practice my blogging, and not sure if I should post it for some opinions until Jardinera gets hers up. Let me know, ladies.
Anna, you are good for now and hopefully will be all ready for next week.
Dating website without Ernestina's permission? I'd think twice about a friend who does that.
"(I say, “Giddyap, son!”)" So say we all.
oh Maribel, why let yourself get tied in knots like that hon, its not worth it, Javi is much nicer.
I am most sick of slimy Orlando all over Ana Lucía but again she needs to stop sending mixed messages already.
I do feel sorry for Santiago who is paralyzed from not knowing his own story. I think he should take Iñaki's advice: take Ana Lucía and his taxi and get out of Dodge--so to speak.
I am not looking forward to double episodes. It could be too much of a good thing.
It's interesting how Ana Le manages to say how much she is relieved she is no longer married to Marcelo and how difficult the marriage has been for her to everyone, including herself, except in situations where Marcelo is listening in. She manages to say exactly what the loving doting wife will say then. Writer's ploy to delay the big reveal, but still.... can we please have the memory back and, while we are asking for things, also stop playing near misses? Probably not for a while....
Did not quite understand Ramiro's kiss with Ana Le - was he trying to prevent her from going out into the living room only and was there no other way to accomplish that?
Maribel is becoming insoportable. And yet Ana Lu continues to tolerate her...
Thanks again, Jardinera!!
As this is my first time commenting, let me also say thanks to everyone who makes these recaps available I've been lurking for a while, Ana is the first telenovela I'm watching in 'real time' so to speak, so I finally worked up the courage to comment. I've mostly been watching older ones on Netflix and Hulu. This blog was indispensable while I was getting through Lo Que La Vida Me Robo.
As for this episode... it felt very contrived. I liked all the action, but didn't feel any of it really moved the plot along. I loved how Inaki had to deny his interest in, and seduction of, AnaLe because he knew Marcelo was hanging on every word. I loved how nervous he was.
Ernestina with the dating site was great too. I think it is the perfect plot device, for the two to fall in love again anonymously, then deal with the reality of it. Nice story for abuela.
I have a feeling AnaLaura's irritating manner of speaking and tone of voice is here to stay, unfortunately. It seems like one of those character traits that Angie uses to differentiate the Anas.
I'm still wondering about Leonora's secret. Now we know she is a second generation employee for the family, Ernestina must know her secret if they have been close since forever. I think that look she gave her was just because she doesn't like Leonora to think she is below her, she considers them friends and equals.
Marcelo needs to encounter a memory reviving trigger post-haste. Preferably of Evaristo's murder attempt after the crash, with the disclosure of his wife's involvement. While what he is doing right now is mostly motivated by his own fears and heartbreak over AnaLu, the longer he waits to take any action, the more I can hold out hope that he will realize the true nature of his wife before coming out of hiding.
Once again thanks to everyone in this community!
Can't wait to see Ana Leticia blow up if/when her tio and the shopper owner become a thing. Loved her telling him she was busy with work and had no time for convo with him. He's clearly not used to that.
Welcome, Strangefire! I agree, it was contrived.
I did worry that when SantMarc heard Ana Leticia saying Ramiro was after HER and her sister for their money, that it would start up his distrust of Ramiro all over again. Don't care if he distrusts Inaki because Inaki IS after her for her money and is trying to keep SantMarc from Ana Leticia for his own benefit. Although he is very amusing while doing it.
I also don't get 1) Why Ana Lucia didn't slap Maribel back, and 2)Why Ana Lucia stood around and listened to Orlando and Maribel's verbal diarrhea after they showed her they were NOT her friends.
Not happy that this telenovela is slated to run so long. I think we're going to have many plodding, contrived episodes, as Strangefire noted (let me join with the others in saying Welcome!).
However, I'll be happy to see a little AARP romance for Abuela. She is so much more attractive than when she played in Eva Luna. Better hairdo and seems to be more sculpted looking.
Happy Monday everyone...it's super-muggy here. Tried a little yardwork this morning and gave up even quicker than usual!
Welcome to Strangefire and Anna Nabil and the courage to stick your oars into the weekend pot o' stewing.
Contrivance is 2nd nature to tn writers. Sometimes it works and most times we know it for exactly what it is as well as for what it ain't....... Anyway, I am tiring of SanMarco's indecision, but he's still only partially revived from the would be dead. Guess we have to learn a little tolerance here from our side of Viewerville.
Anna thanks for the offer. I will keep it in mind if we really are going to have 2 hrs a night again!!!!! Ugh! It's all I can do to watch on hour some days, let alone marathon it for 10 hrs a week. Say it ain't so.
Jarifa: I finally have UniMas On Demand. I will be using that and plenty of CC assist for sure!! Looks good. For the first time in years I have to rewind 2-3 times to hear the accent. It's definitely Costa del Sol/Andalucian. Like Southerners from backwoods LA on steroids in Spanish!! Je-je-je!!!
Ana Lucia needs to not talk to Maribel about anything ever again and watch her back at Danzaire. Maribel is a "Nomi Malone" in the making. If anyone talked to me like that (or hit me), that would be the last time.
Ana Lucia also needs to distance herself from Orlando. She's told him to back off and he keeps on. Confide in Remedios or Tadeo from now on.
Maribel's hatred of Ana Lucia will go off the charts when she learns Ana Lucia is an heiress from a very wealthy family.
Inaki is growing on me even more, he definitely makes things more comical. Especially the exchange b/w him & Ram about the "file" he left on his bed lol. Then his mini-tantrum about her leaving him alone w/ the wine bottle. Funny, considering he did the same to her not even 5 min before (in previous epi).
It bugs me to no end how Letonta is always saying the right things whenever Santicelo is w/in earshot. At least we got to see Rodrigo tell Bernardo that he's over Ernestina & wants nada to do w/ her. Good for him! Finally a sensible character w/ the proper reaction!
Lol, if this were a comedy then this^ scene would've been perfect. I like that Miranda assures she didn't post any photos, especially of Erny in her hospital gown (which if you ask me, is an improvement to her usual attire). I'm predicting Rodrigo is her secret admirer....or some pimp. Crossing my fingers it's Evaristo & we get a juicier plotline. I'm already 'shipping, and picking out names. Ernaristo? Evertina? Place your bets, mujeres.
And I'm glad Lu finally stuck up for herself b/c Nastibel is a real pendeja (exqueeze my french dressing). I was wondering if she was oblivious, but turns out she just held her tongue all this time. The worst part was when she slapped her...on the same cheek! The writers couldn't even let Lu heal a day at least? Smh
