Tres Veces Ana - #70 and 71 - All roads lead to Evaristo!
Happy Monday and happy last week of two hour episodes (…we
think anyway)!! This was a very action-packed episode, so get ready!
We return to Santi’s hospital room, where he and Facundo are
arguing over what sort of terrible people Santi has made acquaintance with in
those dark,, dark days when Facundo didn’t know Santi was alive (you know, when
Santi was allowed to grow an unkempt beard and live like a hermit in a cave
that didn’t even look like it had running water. Oh wait, that was Facundo, not
Santi! But anyway, we are sure those places Facundo is referring to are much, much
worse and have roaches to boot.) Santi wouldn’t hear any of it. And by the by,
while they are on the topic, he needs to warn Facundo to leave his madrina
alone – he knows that he treated Rem very badly. The whole scene from Friday is
repeated, as is the one with Rem and Sole with their musings on life and the
mysterious and powerful force of protection love has.
This concludes our rehash and we join Sole as she ponders
and kisses sleeping Ana Lu. Ana Le, at the same time, is visiting Santicelo,
who pretends to be sleeping. She makes
herself comfortable on the couch, as comfortable as you can be that is - in a
tight dress, all made up and with loads of jewelry. Leonor is helping Llora to
bed. Our case of mysterious triple coincidences tonight is…the dream of the
accident, which is happening in triplicate.
Ana Lu, though, sees an add-on scene of her in the water
crying for her mom, right before Sole “saved” her. Ana Lu wakes up upset and
calls for Sole to comfort her. She tells her how real the dream has felt, she
was desperate and crying for mom, but Sole was not her mom. Sole is not
impressed with that. She says it must just be that Ana Lu is scared from
everything that has happened recently with Santi. Ana Lu asks if they were ever
in any accident. Not that Sole knows of. Sole told her about that one time when
she almost drowned, didn’t she? No, that wasn’t a dream about that time, says
Ana Lu. Sole thinks to herself that one day Ana Lu will see the whole truth in
her dreams.
While Ana Lu is scaring Sole with her dream retelling, Llora
is crying in Leonor’s arms. She saw the dream, but also felt like she was
connected with the other two sisters. She needs to talk to Ana Le to see if
she, too, had the same dream.
While all of this drama is taking place, Santi is happily
having erotic dreams about his one and only night with Ana Lu. He wakes up to a
sweet kiss from someone who looks exactly like Ana Lu…and yet is someone
entirely different. He recognizes Ana Le finally, and tells her they need to
talk. He needs to spill the beans about something that her family already
knows. Well, sure, Ana Le is ready to receive this news. Besides, “Llora”
already told her that Marcelo thinks the car crash wasn’t an accident. Oh, he
is sure of it – someone was trying to kill him and has been trying ever since.
Well, honey, you had many enemies, helpfully adds his adoring wife. You didn’t
need to hide from me though (oh, but he so, so did.) Santi comes clean about
his memory and Ana Le looks properly surprised.
Sole meets Nerina on her way out and tries to strike up a
friendly conversation. Nerina, it turns out, has a spunky sarcastic streak and
a nice sense of humor. She declares she is not about to braid each other’s hair
and talk about misfortunes with Sole, so she will be on her way out. Sole
thanks her for helping Ana Lu and spins her story of just trying to protect
her. She then has the nerve to ask Nerina for help. Nerina will help, it seems,
– for Ana Lu. She advises Sole to tell the truth though. She didn’t need to
keep Ana Lu – she could have had other kids. Sole tells her she couldn’t have
any more kids after her first daughter and that daughter died in her sleep one
night. Ana Lu came into her life and saved her. Nerina doesn’t want to listen
any more. Sole made her an accomplice and stole the peace from Nerina’s life,
and yet from Ana Lu Sole stole much more – she stole her whole life.
Ana Lu, meanwhile, is cheerfully chatting with Maribel,
retelling her account of fighting her way into the hospital through hell and
high water. She wishes she ran into that infeliz Facundo, she would have shown
him! (Alright, Ms. Gymnastics Bodybuilder, that’s the fight many would be
interested to see I bet. Facundo, in his previous PyP role didn’t fare so well,
but maybe vegan diet at the cave helped him bulk up!). Ana Lu continues: she is
very happy, because Santi kissed her and in that kiss she felt that he loves
only her and his wife does not mean anything to him (Ms. Clairvoyant
Bodybuilder – superlatives keep piling up here…).
“Esposed” husband, at this time, is confessing to Ana Le
that he forgot everything, but not her. He saw her in his dreams, remembered
they loved each other. She kisses him, but he pushes her away. Ana Le starts
saying that she regrets judging him so harshly. He interrupts her saying that
he doesn’t want to stay married any more. The man she fell in love with does
not exist and he, Santi, loves another woman. Ana Le is picturing pushing that
woman off the skyscraper and stares at him intently. We applaud his resolve and
wonder how long it will last.
Ana Lu is still chirping away with Maribel. Maribel comes up
with the idea of a welcome back party for Santi and Ana Lu is all over that.
What would Ana Lu do without Maribel (have actual friends, I want to say, but
guess they were aiming for a different answer)? Seems all previous problems are
swiftly forgotten and the two are bff’s again. Maribel is off to the practice
and Sole shows up to trade places with her and keep Ana Lu company. Sole knows
Ana Lu is upset. Not upset, disappointed, says Ana Lu. Sole knows about Nerina,
because she wasn’t born yesterday, apparently. She would have wanted to go back
in time and have everything be as it was in San Nicholas. It is not Ana Lu’s
fault that it all changed, says Ana Lu.
In the hospital, Ana Le continues to court Santi. She asks
for more time together again. Santi doesn’t want to hurt her, but Ana Le wants
this opportunity all the same, and she takes full responsibility for her
feelings. If she gets hurt, that’s on her. And if it doesn’t work out for them,
she will return Marcelo his freedom.
Abue is debating with Leonor whether or not to tell Ana Le
and Llora about the investigator she hired. Leonor advises against that, as
sometimes she suspects that Ana Le does not want her sister found. Blind Abue
says it isn’t so, and Ana Le would be very happy to find Ana Lu. Leonor hopes
so too and she retreats from the room, while Abue gets back to checking out
match.com profiles.
Her (not so) mysterious admirer Rodrigo is having some
delicious authentic food he missed so much at Miranda’s. Miranda drops subtle hints
about Ernie’s latest health issues and her husband is not amused. He dismisses
there being anything to worry about and departs for work. Miranda is happy –
they can now chat about Rodrigo’s numerous emails he’s sent to this one lady,
who barely replies (Ernie). We think Rodrigo really needs a hobby.
Ana Le and Marcelo continue their post-mortem on their
marriage. Santicelo says he was disappointed to find out about Daniel and
cheating, and Ana Le wants to know if he remembers any of the good stuff, or
just the bad. What Santicelo needs to know is why Ana Le tried to run him over?
She has a facial expression of trying to frantically come up with an
explanation. Luckily for her, we cut the scene to Llora, giving Ana Le a couple
minutes to get her bearings.
Llora is visited by Ramiro, who wants to take her for a
walk. Oh no, she was really hoping to confirm the presence of the psychic
connections between the triplets from her super interesting dream experience,
but guess she can do that later too. Way to spoil exciting day plans,
boyfriend.
These couple minutes did not seem to help Ana Le. She is
spinning her wheels trying to explain herself. She was confused, scared, she didn’t
know?? Marcelo doesn’t understand!! She had to exhume the body of a stranger. Jennifer
actually helped her. Yes, yes, she helped and then she died! And then, Ana Le
found out that Marcelo was there that day. (We can almost see the neurons
firing in her scheming brain, as she realizes this is an excellent angle she
stumbled on). So how could Ana Le know that Marcelo didn’t kill Jenny? She was
so scared.
Santicelo emphatically denies having anything to do with
Jenny’s murder and asks about watching Ana Le break the windows on Tio’s car.
Oh, that? That has nothing to do with us. Neurons back in action, Ana Le
informs him that she has become impatient, nervous after he died. Only Marcelo
could calm her, and without him she reacts very violently to everything. She
was destroyed and did not have a second of peace since losing him.
Back at the match.com headquarters, Rodrigo feels a bit
stupid about his recent internet escapades, but Miranda has another platitude
up her sleeve – it is never late for love. Rodrigo switches gears: he saw
Ernestina and they went for coffee. Miranda wants to know everything, but is
told not to get too excited. Ernie gave him a royal brush off and he learned
another lesson – never to pay attention to her again. Fine, Miranda is ready
for a change of topic – how about that benefit? Turns out Rodrigo is opening a
new hotel and is throwing a benefit on the day of the opening. Miranda’s and
Ernie’s foundation is somehow involved.
Sole is back at Viridiana’s working and gossiping with Ceci.
Sole shares her point of view that for her – for Sole – it would be better if
Santi stays with his wife. Ana Lu is young – she will forget him. Ceci
disagrees – maybe it is good for Sole, but not for her daughter.
Viridiana shows up very happy that there is a fashion show
in the works at the benefit of Rodrigo Casasola. Everyone is recruited to help.
Back at the marriage counseling session, Ana Le informs
Santi he will be going home tomorrow. Good, he is glad. Ana Le is happy as well
and, if Santi doesn’t want to go to Abue’s, then she – a working woman now por
cierto! – will find them a place to live. She works at Tio’s real estate
agency, you know. Santi is asking her to slow down, he doesn’t want to do that.
Before he says anything, Ana Le wants him to watch a video and she will leave
him alone, so he can do so calmly. She hands him her phone with a video pulled
up and leaves the room.
At the hostel named Evil-People-Facundo-Loathes (or EPFL),
unsuspecting Ana Lu is chatting away with Remedios on how happy she is. Santi loves
her, though he did ask her for patience and not to fight face-to-face with his
wife. Remedios is stunned by the thought of what would happen should the wife
not give him the divorce? Ana Lu won’t think about it. There is no way, he will
get a divorce and return to them here at the hostel – to all the people who
love him. And by the way, Ana Lu and Maribel thought up this welcome back party
– what does Rem think? Rem is overjoyed – party will do them all some good.
Santi watches the video Ana Le left him. It is a self-shot
video right before they both got the tattoos. A cute little home video, Marcelo
talks and leaves messages to their future chidren – boys will need to
permission to get a tattoo and girls do not have the permission at all. Looking
at this video, the last thing once would think is that Ana Le is psychopath
crazy. Santi is visibly shaken by the video. Ana Le comes back in and Santi
tells her that his answer is yes, he wants to try and save their marriage. And
our answer to that is: Noooooo. Santi, et tu?
On to another couple: Ramiro and Llora are walking in the
park. He has something important to tell her, as they have decided not to keep
any secrets. (Before you get excited, no – he is not going to tell her about
Ana Lu). But he is going to tell her about Gina and his desire to start
investigating that “murder” again. Good, Ramiro, we are glad you got that one
off your chest. Llora, though, is not impressed and is a bit jealous. While she
is trying to rationalize her feelings and Ramiro comforts her, someone runs up
from behind, tases Ramiro, two other dudes grab him and try to stuff him in the
van. He tries to fight back and is tased again and deposited into the van.
Llora is screaming “No puede ser!”, but cannot deter the kidnappers and they
are off with Ramiro in tow. Llora is running to the phone to call TioM and ask
for help.
Back at the hospital, Santi is agreeing to try, but cannot
promise anything and if it does not work out, Ana Le would have to give him
divorce. (Incidentally, what is he thinking – Ana Lu will be waiting around for
him while he tries on his past life? With any TN luck, by the time he realizes
Ana Le is a murderous witch, Ana Lu will be married to Orlando and pregnant
with Santi’s baby). Ana Le, though, is
much smarter than we give her credit for. She promises to give this attempt at
saving their marriage her all, but Santicelo must promise the same. He does. She
says she will find a place for them to live, but he thinks it’s too soon and they
should just take Abue up on her offer and move in with her. They also need a
time limit. A year, says Ana Le. Six months, counters Santi. Ana Le agrees to
six months, but here is another non-negotiable condition she has: he must break
all ties with that woman he has been seeing, if he wants to try working on
their marriage.
Once again, unsuspecting people at the hostel, who are all
about to be broken up with by a man who cannot make up his mind, are planning a
welcome back party. Maribel has an amusing jealous face on that she gets called
out about by Ana Lu.
Cutting back to our would-be newly-weds. Santi wants to talk
once more time to Ana Lu, or “that woman”, to explain what is happening. Ana Le
is not on board – she didn’t have a chance to talk to Marcelo before he
disappeared, why should that woman get a different treatment. She isn’t stupid,
is she? When he disappears surely she will figure out what happened. Santi must
promise her, or else she will go find that woman herself and give her a piece
of her mind. Santi is alarmed by that threat and agrees to Ana Le’s conditions.
Facundo shows up with some clothes for Marcelo and Ana Le
shares their good news. Facundo could not be more excited and asks Ana Le for
coffee. As they exit, Ana Le’s phone, which is still with Santi, rings. It is
Llora with news about Ram’s kidnapping. Santi listens to her intently and the
next time we see him, he is pulling all of his lines off of him and grabbing
the gun. He has his Marcelo mode on.
Edmundo (who I decided looks like a rat or a mouse, or El
Raton) is sitting at home remembering talking to Nerina and telling her he’d help
with getting hospital to continue her husband’s treatment. On the way out of
Nerina’s house he runs into Gina. Interesting conversation ensues. He knows
about her past and time spent in jail, but he won’t tell, because he launders
money for Ev. Gina shares that she wants to become Tin’s wife and the owner of
this house. El Raton receives a call in the present and agrees to wait for
someone’s arrival. A couple of scenes later it turns out that it was indeed Ev
that he was scheming with. Ev comes in and they act as two good friends. Ev
remembers Gina, his favorite girl he loved to spoil. She was perverse though,
too, says Raton. It is not her fault, thinks Ev- the fault is in his own broken
genes. All of his descendants are like that. His grandsons are just waiting for
his death to get their hands on his business. But anyway, Ev is here to talk
about the headache that Ramiro has become lately.
Turns out it was El Raton, who warned Ev of Ramiro’s arrival
to Costa Paraiso, and that is how Ev was expecting him at Sole’s house. Then,
as we already knew, Ev stole Ram’s laptop. Ram is getting out of control, says
Ev. Same thing happened to Gina and when the time came, Ev didn’t hesitate to
resolve this problem (Is that the answer to our murder mystery? Did Ev kill
her?). So the question is – what does Raton want done with Ramiro? Sadly, from
Raton’s nickname we already know…
Ana Le and Facundo are comparing notes over coffee. What is
that woman like? Please, she is nothing and Facundo won’t let Marcelo throw
away his life for her. Ana le shouldn’t
worry – the less she knows about this woman, the better. Why does he say that –
does he think she cannot compete? No, no – on the contrary – Ana Le has the
class and the intelligence and will always come out on top. Nobody will take
Marcelo away while she lives, predicts Ana Le. She also shares the news that
they will live in Abue’s house and of course Facundo is invited. He happily
accepts. And we think that we are about to have a hostel #2 on our hands at
Abue’s!
After this conversation, Ana Le and Facundo come back to the
room and see that Marcelo has disappeared.
Intermittently we see shots of Ramiro tied up sitting in a
dark room behind some shady looking guys playing a game of cards. Ramiro wants
to know what they did to Llora.
Llora is meanwhile at Tio’s and very upset. Mariano asks if
she wants to go home, but she doesn’t want to scare Abue with the news. What if
they demand money? Will Tio help? Of course, he says.
El Raton shows up and offers, very helpfully, that he has no
additional information, though he was told that the first 24 hours are critical
if they want to see Ram alive. Llora cries.
Elsewhere Ev is coming back to his hotel room and sends his
grandsons away, but not before handing them his chewing gum to throw away. He
is alone now, says Ev and invites Marcelo to come out. Amazing perception!
Marcelo indeed is there with a gun.
Ana Le shows up at TioM’s as well and recounts the story of
Marcelo’s disappearance from the hospital. Llora, in turns, tells about her
conversation with Marcelo. Llora hopes Marcelo is out looking for Ram, but
Facundo says he doesn’t remember being an investigator and is simply putting
his life in danger.
Ram, still tied up, is remembering listening to Llora play
piano and then making plans to be her only guest at a birthday party that was
thrown for her and for Ana Le. Llora was happy.
Marcelo and Ev are catching up. How come Ev is still renting
the same hotel room, even with all of his ill-begotten money? Well, Ev is a
creature of habit. He was expecting Marcelo for a while and is happy to see him
and not that taxi driver. Really? Marcelo thinks he is in his right to kill Ev.
Ev is not afraid of death, but it is not his life that is in danger now, but
Ramiro’s and it is actually in Marcelo’s hands. Ev wants the key to Alfredo’s
safe deposit box or Ramiro dies.
This negotiation continues for a couple more scenes. Marcelo
denies having the key and Ev says that is a lie. Marcelo has a flashback to the
day he spoke with Samuel in his office when Samuel handed him that key (that
was the same day that he fainted outside). Marcelo threatens Ev with a gun, but
Ev says that if anything were to happen to him, Ramiro is as good as dead.
Marcelo would never let Ev have what’s in that box. Ev needs to go to jail and
get his. Well, Ev explains to us that the only evidence that could land him in
jail is in that box (presumably why he wants it). Ev also wants to know who
helped Alfredo fake Marcelo’s death and get the body for the coffin. Marcelo
doesn’t know, except Alfredo told him it was one of Ev’s friends and a much
more powerful one than Ev himself. Ev doesn’t believe that, but thinks the
answer is in the box. Marcelo’s patience is ending – where is Ram? He hits Ev
on the head and tries to look for the key. One of Ev’s grandsons shows up at
that time to check up on Ev (are they all just sleeping outside the hotel room
door?) and Marcelo points a gun to his head and demands to be taken to Ramiro.
Back at crime solver’s HQ, aka TioM’s house, Ana Le talks
with Llora and tells her that Marcelo must have gone to look for Ram. Llora
tells her she feels bad about the fight she had with Ram. Ana Le uses the
opportunity to spin her own agenda – she, Ana Le, made peace with Ramiro and
will continue trying to trust him for her sister. Though Llora should be
careful and remember that a better woman might appear and take him away, as it happened
already once. Llora needs to learn to fight for what is hers. We think she also
needs to learn to spell a couple of curse words.
Llora goes into a flashback and remembers that birthday
party, when Ana Le introduced Gina and Ram and Gina took over Ram’s attention.
El Raton comes over in the present to “cheer” Llora up. He gives a long speech
to Llora. Even though Llora loves Ram and Ram thinks he is in love, he does not
realize all he is giving up. He never knew what he wanted, and he will change
his mind with Llora, as he did with Gina. Raton does not want Llora to suffer.
Ramiro just feels guilty about Gina’s suicide and will never be happy because
of it. Can’t tell with Llora, but we hope she didn’t buy it.
Ana Le is discussing staying at Tio’s (her life’s dream) now
that Llora is here to support Llora. She already covered for them with Abue.
Ana Le tries to pry into Abue’s investigation, but Mariano does not say much about
Ana Lu. Facundo comes in with Rodrigo. Llora and Ana Le compare notes about
seeing Abue very nervous around this man several times.
Ram is still tied up somewhere, but his jail-keepers are
ready to kill him. Where does he want the bullet – to the head or the heart? We
find out tomorrow if Superman Santi comes in time!

Ria that was a great point-by-point recap. I appreciated your side snarky comments also.
What I'm dying to know is WTF is in the safety box.?

Ria, good call on "El Ratón" Edmundo. Ha! Ha! Thanks for your most excellent recap.
I got another laugh out of Ana Laura And Ramiro on their walk in the park: they were both dressed in earth tones and looked like they had planned their outfits to match. Must be an artistic director out there somewhere.,
Now that he is on the loose, I sure hope Santiago/Marcelo does not return become Ana Leticia's prisoner for the six month marriage rehab.
My favorite scene last night was when Evaristo gave one of his grandsons some "chewed" gum to throw away. Ewwww! Another humorous touch.

Ria- What an excellent recap. All the details, with some delicious snark thrown in. Indeed, it did look like Llora was falling for AnaLet's and Edmundo's bs. Heck, she was doing it to herself! Her telling AnaLet that Ram told her he can't forget Gina was a blatant twisting of the facts, when what he can't get out of his mind is whether she was murdered, or if indeed he provoked her suicide. Those are different things. Ramiro will return from his kidnapping and get dumped by her.
Wow, Edmundo is in deep with Ev. So deep, he's willing to Have thugs murder his son. He jumped way ahead of Facundo on the bad dad list. At least Facundo loves his kid and wants him alive.
I need Marcelo to make a video for Santi or write him a letter to talk him out of this foolishness of giving his marriage another chance.

Great work, Ria. These lines are particularly telling:
Sole made her an accomplice and stole the peace from Nerina’s life, and yet from Ana Lu Sole stole much more – she stole her whole life.
Sole is back at Viridiana’s working and gossiping with Ceci. Sole shares her point of view that for her – for Sole – it would be better if Santi stays with his wife. Ana Lu is young – she will forget him. Ceci disagrees – maybe it is good for Sole, but not for her daughter.
This has been making me sick for some time.
Ana MeMeMe was leaning over SantMarc like a vampire with those blood-red lips. She will suck the life out of anyone who lets her do it. In view of what we know about her she has no right to make demands of him. She was the one who demanded the divorce after only one year of marriage. Has he never seen her fawn over Mariano, either? I doubt it.
And Edmundo is turning into a real sociopath himself. When he took that phone call I knew he was behind Ramiro's kidnapping.
Gina probably is that "blonde" who turned up in the boutique a few days ago. What a piece of work she is.
Sole made her an accomplice and stole the peace from Nerina’s life, and yet from Ana Lu Sole stole much more – she stole her whole life.

Ok, Ria, I don't know how you did it, but your recap of last night made what I watched so much better to take. Maybe I should stop watching and just read the recaps. Brilliant ( and never stop the snark--lord knows this TN asks for it.)
That first hour was almost painful: Weepy Soledad ( enough already!!), weepy Remedios (we get it!!), and AnaLoon and her smarmy self. Who dresses like that to sleep on a couch? Love how San/Mar immediately faked being asleep when she entered.
Now how the blazes the writers can justify everything we have seen and heard out of SanMar, and then watching that one lame video wipes out everything he has seen and learned so far about this chicka and agrees to "try" a six-month all your can endure trial marriage is beyond me. And with Dad badgering about staying with her to boot and living under the same roof.
And how does he now explain this to AnaLu? I'm staying with my wife...but I won't tell you who she is 'cos that means you find out you have a sister? Hello? How does that work? There is internet, they live close by, or will SanMar encourage Sole to lock her up for six months while he tests runs the Mrs? Shoot me
Ok, this is where I am thinking we see Inaki go nuts. I kept waiting for him to show up at the room or be part of this. Maybe tonight?
Poor Ram...a corrupt parent, a clueless girlfriend, a bestie who doesn't know who he is some days and is causing the poor slob to be in danger, and a future sis-in-law who is nuttier than a fruit cake...and hopefully this is the weekend because otherwise, dude, how do you explain this to your boss at work why you were out?
And we care about Abue and Rod why??? Secret internet interludes. I need wine to deal with that.
Victoria, I'm with you, what the heck is in that box that Ev is willing to kill for it...and he's dying anyway.

Maybe SantMarc lied to Ana Loon?
That is what his private eye instincts would tell him to do at this point. That gets his father off his back for the moment and it made his escape possible, despite that the motive for that is his need to rescue Ramiro.
When he had the accident in the cab I was concerned that his memory bank would be totally erased and he would be completely helpless. Fortunately the writers didn't go there. However, now is the time for him to come clean with Ana Lucia and tell her why she looked familiar to him in the first place. She might end up furious over this and tell him to go back to Ana Leticia, whom she would probably not be fooled by.

Daisynjay- Rodrigo is Ramiro's current boss/client, and he was there at Mariano's place with everyone, so he knows why Ram is missing work. At least that one thing has gone right for poor Ramiro. :)
Urban- I hope you're right that SantMarc was lying. Otherwise, I really don't get what he's thinking. Does he really think this would fly with Ana Lucia? The woman he swore his love to just a few hours before!
The blonde is not Gina, unless she had plastic surgery after her "death" and came back just to once again be Mariano's lover. Blonde girl is the same girl we saw him have a booty call with early on. She had her hair in ringlet curls back then, and now it's flat ironed straight.

Thanks, everyone.
Victoria, I want to know what's in that box too! He said it was some proof of his misdeeds, but if he doesn't care, by his own words, where death finds him, why worry if it's in prison? Must be something else there. And who is the mysterious body swapper who helped Alfredo?

Jarifa, you made me laugh with the artistic director comment! And yes, Ev and his chewing gun move was classic and so entertaining.
P.S. sorry guys, typing on the phone and have to enter comments one by one with a tiny screen!

Vivi, great idea with the video. At some point one of the commenters was mentioning Memento - that is a perfect time to reenact it!
And I am with you - I don't know what Santi is thinking. If he goes through with this saving marriage/cutting ties with Ana Lu, I at least hope that Ana Lu will not just pine for him and forgive him as soon as he realizes Ana Le is crazy. Frustrating Ana Lu is being treated this way.

Urban, I'd like to hope he lied, but my money is on he didn't and actually felt bad for Ana Le watching this video and decided to give it a shot. Not the strongest of characters on Santi. But maybe Marcelo will show up while he is living with Ana Loon?
And Daisy, I so hear you on all those points! Ramiro indeed continues to draw the short end of the stick. I would not be surprised if Llora does dump him to add to his misfortunes, as Vivi predicts!

Thanks, Ria. "Way to spoil exciting day plans, boyfriend." Ramiro, not keeping any secrets from Laura? Hahahahaha. Will she break up with him AGAIN when she finds out how long he's been in touch with AnaLu?
"Evil-People-Facundo-Loathes (or EPFL)," LOL, I've been privately calling it the "Riff-Raff Rooming House." They seemed like such nice people until superior, super-classy Facundo showed up. (Gag)
I was really hoping - expecting, actually - that AnaLu would meet one of her sisters or maybe even Abuela last night. I was SORELY disappointed when she didn't. Does that mean that the first "season" was supposed to end without the triplets being reunited yet? I don't like that plan.
I don't think Evaristo killed Gina, but maybe Raton Edmundo did.
I was almost disappointed when it turned out that Ramiro had been kidnapped by Evaristo. I had been hoping it was Facundo. I hate that guy, and I was hoping to be given more reason to hate him! (I laughed when Facundo told Ana Let that she was unique. He's a jerk, but he has a sense of humor!)
I don't believe SantiMarc was sincere when he told AnaLet he'd give their marriage a try. I think he said that to get her to back off, and he intended to walk out of the hospital at his first opportunity. Ram's disappearance both complicated and simplified that plan.
I know there are a couple of holes in my theory, but I can't stand to think that he'd throw AnaLu over just because of a dumb pre-tattoo video which should have changed nothing.
Well, I have to hand it to the writers. I may be frustrated by the slow pace and the enormous amount of filler in this TN, but they really are keeping us guessing. And the stories/characters are woven together very intricately.

Thank you Ria for your sticktoitness. This show bores the poop outta me.
First I thought Laura the only one with a lobotomy but nooooo everybody went to Costco got a giant size and shared. Well, everybody but poser Leticia.
I was way too generous thinking the triplets acted and we're treated like they were 15 not 25. More like 5. None matured past the accident.

If Valentin finds out that Ramiro's dad was stealing money from his parents (i.e. his inheritance), it will just give him one more crazy reason to hate Ramiro.
I have been wondering for a while now who was the person who helped Alfredo set up Marcelo's fake death. Remedios mentioned some time ago that Alfredo said someone else was helping out, before he died. We knew there had to be someone else when we learned the guy that was buried had the same tattoo. Now I'm intrigued because they haven't given us any clues as to who this person could be. Now would be the time for them to step back into the picture and help SantMarc out. He needs it! I would love for someone powerful to actually challenge Evaristo.

Julie, I love the Riff-Raff Rooming House!! Lol!
And oh, this line of gullible weak Santi is frustrating me. You are right, there better be another explanation or else he needs to change into Marcelo. At least that dude doesn't take any nonsense.
Tofie, laughing at the giant portions lobotomy comment! Seriously seems like that at times.
Vivi, didn't even think about Tin's reaction - you are right! And so also, perhaps when all is said and done, Nerina will recover her fortune? By then Tin will be in prison, so no pesky villain kids to share it with. I,too, vote for mysterious benefactor to appear. Could it be Rodrigo?

Since Santiago is not aware of a lot of Marcelo, is Marcelo aware of all of Santiago? They're taking too long to tell us the answer.
Marcelo would be aware that Ana Lucia is nothing like her sister, so he might ultimately love her as much as Santiago does because she will be faithful.

This is a very interesting question! I hope we are not in for another bout of confusion once Santi switches to Marcelo full time.
BTW, IMDB has gotten into the stupid habit of listing these programs with English-language titles that are usually incorrect. We all need to email them about this.
I've noticed the ridiculous titles on IMDB for a while now. It's confusing.
But I think IMDB is user-edited, similar to Wikipedia except you need to be a registered user in order to edit. Perhaps some misguided IMDB user thinks they're being "helpful."

" What would Ana Lu do without Maribel (have actual friends, I want to say, but guess they were aiming for a different answer)?"
Ah yes....poor Ana Lucia. Has a treacherous "mom", an even more treacherous bestie, and now it looks like a fiancé with the integrity of a wet noodle. Almost hurled when he caved in to Ana Leticia's conditions and chantaje. Holy Crap.
Speaking of giant lobotomies, we're all going to need one to get through the next few episodes I think.
But your recap was as sharp and intelligent as ever, Ria. Outstanding. Thanks a million.

Maybe if we're lucky, someone, anyone, will knock SanMar up the side of the head again, and he'll remember EVERYTHING about both guys and what a leech AnaLoon is.
I know, no such luck. This will have to get far uglier and frustrating before he gets his act together. It will be painful to see AnaLoon take him for a ride because we know she will. And where does Inaki fit in...still drags him along to do her dirty work?
My biggest fear is that AnaLu, after being semi-dumped no matter whether SanMar tried to lamely say it's a trial and wait for me ( jerk if he does) or not, she will find the grease-ball Orlando standing there to "be there" for her. At that point, keep all sharp objects away from me or hand me a barf bag. But I could see the writers going there, and Soledad encouraging it every step of the way.

At first, I thought it might be Dreadmundo that helped Alfredo switch bodies. And only b/c Gina mentioned that she knew what he was doing for her grandfather aka his boss, which to me sounded like Dreadmundo might be involved in some illegal things under duress. I theorized he did it in an attempt to backstab Ev, but that theory died as quickly as I thought of it. The suspect I feel best fits the "one of Ev’s friends and a much more powerful one than Ev himself" clue is Gina. She has his "broken DNA" and is just as cunning as Ev. Not to mention that she knows all about his dealings, including those w/ Dreadmundo. I suspect the documents in the box expose the money laundering, and possibly evidence of his contract kills. The one activity we know Gina is aware of involves Dreadmundo stealing from Nerina's accounts to fund Evaristo's ventures. It's possible Ev attempted to get rid of her (maybe not necessarily murdered her) b/c she's an eyewitness, and possibly why she then meddled w/ his plans. Not only would Gina make a great nemesis for AnaLoca, but she could very well level the playing field against Ev. It might not even be about getting even w/ her grandpappy, but a tactic to get even w/ AnaLoca by foiling her murder attempt on SanMarc. All theories I'm throwing out here. But we'll see how it all unfolds....
There's no way Inaki or Ramiro (if he makes it out) will allow Santi to go through w/ this plan. No, I think this is just plot filler, most likely the writers squeezing in as much drama as they can fit before the eventual reunion. I think Santi already feels guilty as it is, and is guilt-ridden further about turning his wife violent & not fulfilling his promise of their undying love. But again, love driven by manipulation isn't real love. AnaLetonta is going to have to learn that she can't always get what she wants. He never made her happy anyway, and when he does remember, it'll also include the memories that will implicate her in his attempted murder. No matter what she does, she'll lose.
The difference b/w Memento and this TN is that Leonard had short-term memory loss & trusted his own clues (a trust that ended up being his own undoing), whereas Santi doesn't trust Marcelo which may be why Marcelo felt the need to coerce Dani to confess to their crimes.

JudyB, isn't that the truth. In absence of lobotomies, we'll all drink a lot of chamomile tea and hope that Santi will prove us right for thinking him a non-annoying lad since Episode 1.
Interesting theory Anna - certainly not many powerful characters left in the show and Gina besting Evaristo would be a nice knife in ths gut for him
