Tres Veces Ana # 82 - Finally face-to-face with the three faced woman and a man with no face

Our ever scheming Ana Le figures it’s not very convenient for Santicelo in either of his incarnations to meet with Ev, especially in light of all this info she recently received on Ev’ involvement in all of her beeswax, so she asks Abue to exclude her marido from this conversation. Abue could go either way, as she reasons perhaps it could jolt Marcelo’s memory and suddenly Santicelo appears from behind in his Marcelo updo. He heard Ev’s name being mentioned and Erni is pleasantly surprised he remembers Ev. Marcelo says it’s a great idea to invite Ev and incidentally he is remembering a lot of things, like the fact that he found out Ana Lu was alive and to stop him from delivering that news, someone orchestrated this accident. When he finds out the culprit, he will have no mercy on them. (Incidentally, he is speaking to Erni with a familiar ‘tu’). Ana Le looks like she wishes she had a strong drink nearby or someone to push off the building to calm her nerves.



Tin and Ratmundo (I like this nick for him!) are discussing Valeria’s predicament. Llora is already on her way and Tin knows that Valeria is innocent. He is also wondering why Ratmundo pretended to not recognize him. Surely Ratmundo at least remembers Gina, who was Tin’s girlfriend and his own son’s fiancé. Ratmundo fakes a flash of sudden recognition and insincerely laments about the wheelchair. What Tin wants to know is whether Ramiro knows that Ratmundo is working for the puppet master Evaristo. Ratmundo is about to threaten him with something unspeakable, but Tin calms him down – they are both on the same side.


Ana Le is outside remembering asking Daniel if he would help with a hit on Marcelo and receiving news from Ev over the phone that the job has been completed. Marcelo – still in his jaguar mode – sneaks up on her. He wants to take her out to celebrate their reunion and she should wear this new dress she bought. Ana Le is apprehensive – she does not know which of his personalities she is speaking to. What does Marcelo remember? Everything, he says, including how she makes him feel. He kisses her while his own flashback is that of Ev telling him Ana Le is behind the murder plan as he was hitting him with over the head.


Ana Le now needs this dress altered for the dinner and Viridiana received a call to send Sole to the house. Sole almost breaks down in hysterics, as this is the last place she wants to go, but ultimately is convinced.


Mariano remembers a fight with Gina, who was intent on telling Jennifer everything about Mariano – it was only just that Mariano loses Jennifer, when Gina lost Ramiro. Gina called TioM simply a wallet to her, while Ramiro was the love of her life. Now Gina will destroy Mariano. Mariano is of a different opinion – Gina is a prostitute and a thief, and she has only herself to blame for her misfortunes. If she even tries to expose him, he will kill her.


Inaki came to the cemetery to Daniel’s crypt and is remembering the murder scene. Tadeo shows up, and thinks Inaki is there because there is some good in him, and he is sorry to see his brother dead. Tadeo doesn’t believe Inaki was going to donate a piece of his liver just for money, he is a good boy and Tadeo will continue insisting and tolerating everything Inaki does, because he believes Inaki will redeem himself. Inaki doesn’t think so. He is here because here lies the boy that his mother gave everything up for, who she left them for and never looked back. They spent their entire lives crying for her and it’s time to dry off those tears. He wishes for Daniel to burn in hell and leaves. Julietta watches from afar.


Valeria is pleading her case with Llora and Ramiro. They both believe her that she would not steal money from the foundation she dedicated her life to. Ramiro also thinks that his father should know that, having worked with her all this time and it’s outrageous the way he treated her. Ramiro will talk to him and in the meantime Llora already canceled their family reunion dinner with Evaristo.


Trembling Soledad arrives at the mansion and Marcelo opens the door! Finally we meet, he says, when she confuses him for Santi, and Soledad realizes she is in trouble. What is she doing here, asks Marcelo? Did she come to demand explanation on why he told Ana Lu about Sofia? Soledad was busy trying to map the emergency exits and wasn’t even thinking about it, but while they are on the subject – how could he?? Well, Marcelo reminds her that one day he told her that he will see to it that she goes to jail. In the middle of this conversation, Ana Le comes downstairs. Finally, the seamstress, she’s been waiting long enough! Now Soledad can wait as well, while Ana Le and Marcelo confer.


Ana Le lets him know Llora called to cancel the family dinner with Evaristo. Marcelo is sorry, he was looking forward to it. Ana Le thinks it might help her case if she points out how much she always disliked Ev. Well, no matter – she needs to see the seamstress and Marcelo needs to leave. Where is he going? Not to his mistress, if that’s what she thinks (we can see his nose growing as the words come out of his mouth). He will take the car and he reminds her of their dinner plans. He needs her to look stunning. As he walks away, we are unsure if he meant stunning or stunned – because one of those she already is.


Sole is deep in her own memories of Sofia’s funeral and finding Ana Lu in the water, when Ana Le rudely interrupts this, outraged that the seamstress dares to touch their belongings, and takes her upstairs. She spends the next several scenes there getting a slow realization of what we could have told her all along – that dress is ugly. As this fact dawns on her, she doesn’t lose the opportunity to note that it is probably perhaps Viridiana is busy chasing men instead of paying attention to the boutique.


Sole is just trying to get the work done and leave and looks she is losing it between Ana Le’s screams and sarcastic demeaning comments. Sole is brought to tears and it seems that this torture will never be over.  Finally when they are done, she counts her blessings and tries to scamper away, when she is stopped in her tracks by Erni coming into the room and mentioning the dinner and Ana Lucia. Ana Le and Erni discuss the progress on the investigation – there isn’t much, but something the investigator wants to tell them personally. Sole listens intently. Ana Le tells Erni she is looking forward to Ana Lu’s return, but Erni needs to promise to not love Ana Le any less. In any case, if they don’t have any luck locating the missing sister, Ana Le will happily occupy her place in everyone’s hearts (we never had any doubt, our little murderess).


Ramiro is at Ratmundo’s trying to convince him that Valeria is innocent. They trusted her all these years. Ratmundo feigns outrage – how could she betray the family like that? Ram points out that it could have been someone with the access and the password, which – by the way – only Valeria and Ratmundo have. Surely Ram does not suspect his own father, says Ratmundo, and besides – there is a witness that Valeria was in the office late right before the transfer. Who is this witness? It is Tin! Well now everything is clear to Ramiro – Tin is behind it. Whatever the truth, Ratmundo has his reputation to protect and needs to call the police. Ramiro asks for some time – the Rat wanted them to get along better and this is the opportunity. 


Tin and Llora are chatting about Valeria – they are sure she is innocent, but Tin does not think that the foundation will survive this hit and Valeria may go to jail. He thinks they will figure it out though. Llora moves on to console Valeria and Ram comes in to report that he bargained a couple of days to investigation, though with the condition that Valeria will resign and leave.

Triple scene of triples getting ready for their dates – and what do you know, at least two of them are with the same man!


Llora gets to Ramiro’s. They chat about Valeria, while Llora seems to be in physical pain. Ramiro suggests she takes the prosthesis off and Llora is hesitant. She is afraid his perception of her will change, but he brushes this off – he loves her just the way she is. Right as they are about to put this insecurity to bed, Ramiro’s phone rings and it’s….Gina, or what appears to be Gina in any case! She tells him she is staying in some hotel and gives him the room number. Ramiro is incredulous, but gives no explanation to Llora, except to say that he needs to drop her off with Valeria and run out for an emergency.


Meanwhile at the hotel, the woman who placed the call – and is NOT Gina – looks very pleased she pulled it off. She gets some money from a faceless man dressed in black leather, and is then strangled for her efforts.


Ramiro arrives to the hotel, enters and hears Gina’s voice on replay on the phone. Continuing with his naïve streak, he touches the phone to turn the recording off (and will forget to wipe the prints later I am sure). He comes into the bathroom and the dead woman is there in the tub, exactly as Gina was found. He turns around and is startled to see Tin, who claims that he received the same call. Just as they start making sense of all of this and Ram ventures a hypothesis that Gina’s assassin is setting them up, in comes a third player – our blue eyed TioM.


Marcelo and Ana Lu are chatting at the restaurant table. He is grateful she is here, though Ana Lu is unsure how to feel. Who is he now – Santi, Marcelo? Whoever he is, he sees Ana Le come in and moves in to kiss Ana Lu. Ana Le, in turn, observes this and slowly recognizes the woman, mirror image of herself: Ana Lucia!

Comments:
The first AnaLu sighting by a triplet! Unfortunately, the wrong triplet. What is sly Marcelo up to? And a Gina impersonator, and murder by a mystery man. Indeed, the writers spiced things up last night. Tonight's episode should be very interesting as we see the fallout from both of these things.
 

I am wondering whether someone is going to approach Ana MeMeMe before she gets to Ana Lucia and delay the confrontation at least one more time. Wait until Ana Lucia finds out how she treated SoleBad.

BTW, that is one of the ugliest outfits I've ever seen. There is definitely a bondage element to that stupid neck harness, which was also on other outfits on the runway.
 

Ana Lucia needs to read Dear Prudence today.
 

Wow! A couple of great setups in this episode. All the usual suspects lured to the same place by the siren call of another dead woman. The faceless murderer looked too imposing to be Evaristo. Marcelo? Whoever it turns out to be I love the plot twist. Then the other great setup so Ana Leticia could get a good looksee at Ana Lucía. We know who was behind that one. Perfect!

I loved Marcelo menacing Ana Leticia by telling her that as Marcelo he remembers everything, everything. Looks like Ana Leticia had and has her hands full trying to stay one step ahead of ?, control? , keep up with ? Marcelo. Soledad had a rough day having to meet Marcelo at the mansion door and hear his goal to see her rot in jail even before she had her interaction with Ana Leticia.

Tonight should be good!
 

The man who killed the Gina impersonator was wearing a dark suit. Marcelo was wearing a light gray suit. I wouldn't think it was him anyway. My first guess was Mariano. My second guess is Facundo. He's away on this mystery trip, no one knows where he is or what he's up to. It's possible. Ev's other grandson is a distinct possibility. Of course, it could be someone new too.
 

Vivi: The Body Count is probably increasing to the 20s by now.

 

I'm with you on everything Vivi. I automatically excluded all the obvious players, too predictable. So for me its Marrano, Edmundo, Lasty, Facundo, or a new character. Or gasp, maybe Isidro lol jk. I was looking at character lists on wiki for my name key yesterday, and there are still more characters to come so we'll see how this all unfolds. Can't wait! And definitely looking fwd to Ria's recap :)
 

Edmundo could also be the culprit. This mystery would certainly keep Ramiro occupied and away from the foundation fraud case.
 

Anna- We were writing at the same time. Yes, looks like we have the same list of suspects.
 

Does this mean Ramiro's and Llora's weekend away will now for sure not happen? Between the fraud and the murder, I'm guessing neither of them will have the time or inclination. Bummer.
 

Pretty interesting episode. What was NOT predictable for me was Ramiro acting like a crackhead when he got the fake phone call. Dumbass I guess this would work too: Rrrrring. Bueno. Hey Ramiro this is the IRS. You owe us $10000. Oh OK and mail it to your office in Moscow? OK.

Yo, RamBO. This is your (You know for certain dead) ex girlfriend, hooker, excon, Gina who you know never loved you and lied to you. Meet me at......

IQ test RAM. You got about a five.
And while I'm at it, Rambo, it was yore own Papa who stole from the crippled kids. You already know he is a dirty rotten scumbag, why is he not supect?

I really enjoyed the preview of Ana Letmybrainexplode seeing her sister kissing Marcelo. Looking forward to Ria's take on all this craziness. I think the gloved hands of death belong to a character we haven't seen yet.
 

Anon- Well, considering very "dead" Marcelo came back from the dead, believing Gina did too is not so far out there. And the trick worked not only on Ramiro, but apparently also on Valentin and Mariano who also ran lickety split to the motel.
 

Looking forward to the recap. Things are getting a lot lore interesting now. What will Ana Leticia do when she sees Ana Lucia? The novela just started in Mexico this week do they're in for a wild ride!

I first noted that the scene between Val and Edmundo was interesting. I wonder if Val knows something about Edmundo that the audience doesn't know.

Looks like Soledad got to see just how different Ana Lucia is from one of his sisters. If she happens to meet Ana Laura before Ana Lucia discovers the truth I hope that changes her mind a little about A. Lucia's real family.

My best guess right now as to who killed Gina is Mariano. Whoever made that mysterious phone call clearly wanted to expose Gina for the player that she was. Ramiro now knows that she was involved with Mariano.
 

I fell asleep on this episode and woke up in time to see

a) Ana Leticia come in the restaurant to see Marcelo & Ana Lucia kissing

b) Marcelo slyly smiling


Plus I think the avance showed Ana Leticia saying "Ana Lucia!"

I don't think Ana Leticia and Ana Lucia will meet tonight but Ana Leticia DEFINITELY knows Ana Lucia is alive and well and the other woman.
 

TF- Valentin was making clear to Edmundo that he knows Ed works for Evaristo, that Evaristo had already told him he had someone on the inside who would cause financial problems for the foundation, and that he (Val) also works for Evaristo. Edmundo was trying to act like he was legit, and that Valeria had indeed committed the fraud. Valentin was telling him to drop the act-- they both know Valeria is incapable of stealing. He then threatened to tell Ramiro that his dad is a crook who works for Ev. That's when Edmundo got ticked off and threatened back. Valentin also taunted Edmundo about pretending that he didn't know him when they met with Valeria, since he knew Valentin back when he managed his parents' money.

Now that Valentin knows that Edmundo is dirty and capable of embezzling, I wonder if he'll start to suspect that Edmundo robbed his family way back when.
 

I was thinking the same thing Vivi, that Val may now be on the trail of his father's money. I wouldn't mind it so much if Val and his sister were decent but since all they care about is money now, I hope he doesn't get it. Thought Nerina does deserve to live a better life.

I don't think it was Mariano that set up the hooker because he is still having daymares about the whole Gina situation. He would rather forget than milk it.

Wow that was not a dress AnaLet was wearing but a halloween s&m costume.

I don't like the way Marcelo is using AnaLucia to get back at AnaLet. He may not be Santi but he knows AnaLucia is a good person. He knows what AnaLet is capable of and has now put AnaLucia in danger. AnaLet's worst nightmare came true, losing love and attention to her sister. Okay maybe not worst nightmare but definitely up there.

Also, I was unhappy that this was the way the writers expose AnaLucia to a sister. I hope AnaLucia doesn't see AnaLet. I would like, for her sake, it to be a loving reunion with Erni and Llora.
 

So much for my statement earlier this week that Marcelo (unlike Evil Captain Kirk) couldn't be bothered to try passing himself as his nicer twin!
 

Carvivilie I would prefer AnaLu meet her family under more sane, nurturing conditions. But if Lip-Lock-Interuptus is the only way the poor girl can assume her rightful place in the family, so be it. Even this would beat another twenty years of lies subterfuge and confinement by Souless. I didn't agree with MarcSanti's methods either, but in situations so toxic, I believe sometimes there is just not a painless solution.

So now we see that VinTinTin (RinTinTin's littermate), is not so squeaky clean either. Throw away another misconception, helpless pitiful little worms in wheelchairs are not always saints. Go figure.

OK so she wears Frankendress to meet long lost Sis, what do you do with the dam thing after that? Can't sell it. Prob can't GIVE it away. But someone else was right, Halloween is coming up. Ha Ha.
 

If you heard angry screaming last night, that was me. I guess we can always count on Ramiro to do the dumb thing - rushing from his girlfriend's side to meet up with a dead ex. No suspicion of trickery? REALLY?? Plus, refusing to say to Llora, "you won't believe it, but this woman on the phone says she's Gina!"

And then another angry scream as I realized that Valentin and Mariano also went for the bait. Come on, really?

LAME.

But very interesting!
 

Edmundo is a killer.
 

Love all the comments so far and can't wait for your recap Ria.

Count me among those who wanted to take a 2x4 to Ramiro and slap him up the side of the head. And then seeing the others...too much and too stupid.

That murderer did not have unusually large hands, so I ruled out Evaristo immediately. Should be possibly add Oily Orlando to the list? He could be doing some dirty work for Ev, because honestly, he's becoming more of a slug even in appearance each day. Would he go that far? I think so. But I do think Edmundo is being made to look that key suspect. Are the writers going for obvious thought?

That was the worst outfit so far AnaLoon has ever graced us with. Are her get-ups going to get worst the deeper into the desperation she goes? Good heavens, what next?

I too hate seeing AnaLu being made a pawn. The Marcelo personality, though loved his put down to AnaLoon, definitely has no part of the goodness of Santi in him. And that makes him a very dangerous adversary.

I'm am soooooo sick of Soledad that I admit, I had a hard time feeling bad for her with the way she was treated. Makes me wonder how desperate SHE will get in keeping her secret.
 

I certainly hope that ruthless Marcelo has some plan for keeping Ana Lucia safe now that he's exposed her to Ana Leticia. Not sure that his wimpy side, Santiago, is going to be able to keep it together when he finds out what his flip side has been doing.
 

Recap posted, you guys. It is on the light summary side today. I have not had a chance to read through all the comments yet and will for sure do so this afternoon. However: someone was hypothesizing that Tin could be actually not disabled. If so, could he have been that mysterious man? I will check in later and thanks!


 

Wow...quite an episode. Have fun writing it up Ria. As someone still having an awful crush on Tio Mariano, was quite distressed to see him doing and saying such ugly things last night. My prometido is going to have to do a LOT OF REDEMPTION WORK....boy oh boy. Start lugging that cross,old son, you've been a scumbag and a scoundrel.
 

Thank you, Ria! That wasn't too light; it was just right.

Wasn't it kind of odd to send Soledad to alter the dress? Soledad may have seamstress skills, but she was hired for embroidery, wasn't she? Oh well, it's a small boutique, and maybe Cecilia can't sew. Plot convenience!

By the way, has anyone been looking at the captions in English? I'm seeing some funny stuff there. A couple of weeks ago, they used an extremely vulgar word for "golfa," and twice in the last week I've seen "blimey" used for words that I would have translated as "hey." (But "blimey" works, too. In fact, I propose that we use that word more often in our recaps.)
 

Thank you, Ria, for your most excellent recap of a fun episode. :)


 

Thank you Ria for posting the recap.

Who is the murderer of the (unknown?) woman found in bathtub?

Whoever it was had access to Gina's taped voice which apparently lured Ramiro, Valentin and Mariano to the hotel room.
Evaristo probably was involved but it did not look like Evaristo's gloved hand in that room. I am assuming that the mystery killer is a man and not a woman. Could it be Evaristo's grandson?

Why the call to the three former lovers of Gina? Will the Ramiro, Valentin and Mariano just leave the dead body in that room and flee or will they call the police to report finding a body?
 

Was that Gina's voice on the recording? Or was it the imposter's voice? How would we know?
 

thanks, RIa. I was reading last night and forgot to watch the show. I am back to teaching, and I have less time .

As to the mystery man, nobody has suggested my new telenovio INaki.

Also, when I first fell down the telenovela rabbit hole about nine years ago , every telenovela seemed to have a galan..not flawless but a good dude who protected others from the villains. So what happened? I cannot find a galan in this show . All the hombres are weak, stupid, clueless, evil, crooked, pervy, or smarmy. The new names for the seven dwarves.If they were on THe Bachelor (which I do not watch ), nobody would be getting a rose. I am losing interest because I like heroes...not antiheroes. What ever happened to good guys?
 

Great recap Ria!

Someone wants Gina's former lovers to suffer, but who does it benefit? If Ev did murder her because she was a loose canon, does he blame them for having to do it and thus wants to make them suffer? I can see that. Or is it Ratmundo who seems to have it out for the family and also needs Val and Ram's attentions thrown elsewhere?
 

Susanlynn, I think SantiMarc is supposed to be our galan. It's just that he's been split into two unsatisfactory (but handsome) pieces.

I could also make an argument for Ramiro as galan. True, he's kind of a squishy galan, but we've had to put up with so many squishy heroines over the years that it seems only fair to get a squishy galan once in a while.
 

Is anyone else curious as to the identity of the attractive man
with dark hair in the opening credits? Unless I've missed something,
I guess he's just a character who hasn't been introduced yet.
AnonGringa
 

Julie at 12:20 YUP I saw that in the CCs that AnaLetMe called the other woman a C___ right there on national TV. Twice. Then the very English Blimey started appearing, seeming so out of place in a Spanish show.

I remember seeing in Lo Imperdoble or Hasta del Mundo a long time ago the F bomb surfaced a couple times in the CCs, but I was never ready to capture it.
 

Speaking of galans, Ramiro was a bit squishy as a galan as Chava 2.0 in Hasta also.
 

Ria- Thank you so much. The recap was just perfect.

Wow. Julie and Anon- I don't use the captions, so I didn't realize they were translating using such colorful language. Blimey!
 

AnonGringa, I'm going to have to watch the credits tonight to see of whom you speak. I thought I recognized all of the characters from the opening credits. Is he in the beg, middle or end part?
 

I also thought we had seen all of our characters by now in the opening credits. Will have to take a closer look next time to see who the dark-haired stranger is. What's he doing in the opening credits, AnonGringa?
 

This show is really driving people crazy!
 

Carvivlie, thank you for responding. I'm not sure about that. I'll
pay attention tonight. I love this silly program!

Vivi, thank you too. Maybe I'm wrong. I always enjoy your
inciteful comments.

AnonGringa
 

AnonGringa- Just looked at the opening and closing credits and didn't see any new character we don't already know. I would be happy to have some new eye candy, though. :)

Opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBNHfyqORjU
Closing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_sI1FD8LWs
 

Ria and Ana, thank you ladies for your time and for keeping us laughing and well entertained.
Also to all other commentators that add lots to the fun.
I dont know if this comment will take, I thought I'd try again.
Yes, this is getting to be really really intriguing to say the least.

Have not read all comments today, but iMHO, I think strongly that it was tin who killed lady in red. Someone once said that Tin might be faking his paralysis, so if that is true, he couldv'e worn that black outfit w gloves then quickly changed and jumped back in his wheelchair. I especially thought he was suspect when he uses his best whiny voice on Ram asking "what is happening, Ramiro." Like...I am so scared. Tio no doubt was summoned to. For that matter maybe Tin is the one who killed Gina, and is so jealous of her lovers he wants to destroy them.
Could be wrong, but today thats what I think.

Gracias,
Leticia
 

How embarrassing! I spelled insightful wrong.
Sorry, Vivi. I don't think you've been "inciteful".
AnonGringa
 

I totally did not catch the murder scene of the woman who made the mysterious call. How stupid of me!

Vivi--it'll be interesting to see who's the smartest villain in all this. Right now Evaristo seems to have the upper hand but I don't know about Edmundo and Facundo. I still wanna see Valentin die eventually because he gets on my nerves.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by Iñaki's behavior. Clearly his mother passed on her greed to him. I had a feeling he killed Daniel. Although it seems like he didn't just do it for the money but also to get revenge on Julieta for abandoning him and Javier. He might've still tried to hurt Daniel somehow had Marcelo and Evaristo not gotten to him first.


 

I must have dozed off for a second and missed the murder scene, which really annoys me.

Edmundo is one cold-blooded SOB for what he's doing here. To send Valeria to prison for this is about as low as it gets. I'm sure he was somehow involved in the murder of Gina, which could bring down Evaristo's wrath eventually. That would be one good use of it.

Marcelo is masquerading as Santiago in that last scene. He would have no conscience about getting into the sheets with Ana Lucia this way as well; he's said as much. If that would have been necessary in his revenge against Ana Leticia he would have done that. As it is I'm guessing that there will be yet another delay on the confrontation but this better be the last one.

What will happen when Ana Lucia turns up embarazada?

 

Urban, I really hope AnaLucia isn't/doesn't become preggers but what amount of trouble it will cause the family when she is finally reunited with Erni and Llora.
 

Our questions about Soledad's (supposed) age and the age difference between her and Ernestina were answered this episode. In the flashback, we see a very young Soledad mourn her daughter's death and then shortly after find Ana Lucia. Remember, that at that time, Ernestina was a grandmother and mother to a woman who looked the same age as young Soledad..
 

That's true Vivi. I think they should have cast a younger actor to play Soledad bec she looks to old by 10 years.
 

Well, they say that worrying ages a person. We can use that to excuse Soledad's appearance.
 

Thanks, Ria. She spends the next several scenes there getting a slow realization of what we could have told her all along – that dress is ugly. - lol!

Bravo to the writers! Last night's cliffhanger was excellent. I was surprised enough when Ramiro showed up for a dead body in a motel room, then Valentin, then Mariano. A triple slam dunk! Hmmm, is the killer now phoning 911 so all three guys get the third degree from the police?

I vote either Ratmundo or a brand-new person is the killer. Why would someone murder this woman just to get these three guys' goat? That's a sick mind and Ratmundo has always struck me as creepy. I'm betting Ramiro isn't even his son. Hopefully mama Ramiro got pregnant by somebody else.

Love Marcelo scaring the beegeebees out of Ana Le. But why is he using Ana Lucia like this?
 

Ah that's true Julie!
 

Niecie - perhaps Marcelo, like me, has gotten so tired of the conspiracy to keep the triplets apart that he couldn't bear it any longer. So he went ahead and ripped the band-aid off in the most painful and horrible way he could think of (short of letting AnaLet catch them in her bed).

Actually, I think he just wants to be cruel to AnaLet. "Hey, I found your missing sister. Aren't you happy? Show me how grateful you are!"
 

Oops sorry, I meant to say "BLIMEY, I found your missing sister."
 

Julie - Blimey, that adds up. I guess I still can't see Marcelo as a bad guy.
 

" Ana Le looks like she wishes she had a strong drink nearby or someone to push off the building to calm her nerves. "

Blimey, this is the kind of Ria Observation that just knocks me out. Funny. Apt. And unforgettable.

I do use the closed captions but in Spanish so I'm missing out on all the surprising English they're serving up for these. Seriously, they translated "cualquiera" as the "c" word!? Blimey again.

Thanks Ria, this was indeed a juicy episode. The collateral damage count seems to be rising. Guess that there's plenty of mayhem to come. Thanks for the outstanding recap.
 

Judy, the only one I heard was "golfa." I missed the other one, don't know what word that was.
 

Ah well, "golfa"..that is a serious insult. But I would think the equivalent of "c" word in English would be blipped in our TV transmissions.
 

Oh, you bet, Carvivlie! Ana MeMeMe is already off her rocker with hatred and envy even without the SantMarc issue, Leonor is in denial about how evil that chick really is, Ernestina's denial is worse, and Ana Llorona still hasn't learned to protect herself.

Will Ernestina decide to prosecute SoleBad? That would put her on Ana Lucia's shit list immediately. However, we'd probably applaud her.

SantMarc will be even more confused and in conflict with himself. He needs a shrink badly.
 

Ev would probably step in and announce Sole's true parentage when/I hope Erni tries to prosecute Sole. She deserves to go to jail. No two ways about it. She has schemed, been physically and emotionally manipulative to keep AnaLucia by her side. I hope AnaLucia goes off on her.
 

UrbanAnt: Embarazada product would be one corn-fused hijo having wretched AnaLetme as both aunt and StepMother.
 

Yikes, just dawned on me the kid would have to figure out PapaTio too.
Isn't there already a musical act called something like that? DaddyUncle? Maybe not AAaarrrgh.
 

Are they still officially married after being declared dead? If he reinstates himself as alive, does that mean the marriage is still a go too?

 

I hope it won't come to that, Anon.

I want Ana Lucia to really let SoleBad have it. She deserves to get it between the eyes at this point. If she is pregnant I hope it starts the process of integrating Marcelo and Santiago so that he will take responsibility. Divorce Ana MeMeMe, marry Ana Lucia, and be a father.

But here's hoping it's only one baby. Identical multiples are prone to having multiples of their own.
 

Oh, missed so many comments while I was out!

Vivi and Anna, Facundo is a very interesting version for our mysterious killer! Only would he have known Gina well enough or have motive that we know of?

Urban and Anon, hopefully we indeed get some resolution to the main plot points before introducing new variables/characters=babies.

I laughed so much at your discussion of captions in English. Who would have thought the Uni captions would be so grammatically proper and British and very improper at the same time! :)

Carvivlie, Ratmundo for the murderer is interesting too. Plus he's in cahoots with Evaristo, so there may be a play there...

JudyB, we definitely need to start redeeming TioM. Either way I would be very disappointed if he turns out to be a murderer, so hopefully it's one of the other scoundrels here.



















 

Niecie, agreed - Marcelo torturing Ana Le is a fun angle, but like you I am unsure why bring Ana Lu in. She will inevitably end up hurt here. Here's another character who at this point needs some redemption to become a galan - Marcelo.

Speaking of galans, Susanlynn, I am definitely with you phoning the Televisa headquarters. Seems like it's been a while that we didn't get some sort of conflicted, bad-turned-good, or split personality galan out there to root for!

Jarifa, Marcelo's taunting of Ana Le was priceless with his 'I remember everything'. Hope we get more of that today.


 

Evaristo was Gina's abuelo, so I don't think he is the murderer. I also don't think Facundo has a motive unless there is information we don't have yet. Looks like she preyed on any rich man with a pulse.

We also need to ponder how much Ana MeMeMe knew of her grifting.
 

Julie, oh I was hoping Marcelo didn't just invite Ana Lu to be cruel to Ana Le, because that would be unnecessary toying with Ana Lu. But I fear you are right...

TF, I held out last shreds of hope (I am sensing a trend here in trying to believe these characters are better than writers want them to be!) that Inaki did not kill Daniel and those was just Ana Le's hypothesis. But also - alas.

AnonGringa - I am also not sure which man in the credits you mean. Let us know after you watch tonight!

Anon 12:58 - Ev's grandson is a distinct possibility. Looked like the figure was on the short side and so is Ev's grandson, no?

Anon 10:52- Lip-lock-interuptus - that was hilarious! Let's hope it isn't so!

Daisynjay - good call on hand size of a murderer and ruling out Ev. You are quite the detective! Hopefully we get more clues today - very interesting!!


 

Urban- Since AnaLet hired Gina to keep Ramiro from Ana Laura, she must have had some knowledge that Gina was a professional grifter.
 

Leticia - I am with you on the Tin theory, mostly because that character is very displeasing to me and maybe that means he is getting some karma his way. Carlos de la Mota is doing a great job there!

Yikes !

Ria-- A part of me still does think it was Marcelo who killed Daniel. Like you said, A Leticia and her theory is what's kinda keeping the audience guessing. Marcelo did have a motive and his motive seems more legit than just killing for money like Iñaki may have done. Although it could be that Iñaki killed Daniel partly because of A. Leticia. He'd rather be the lover of A. Leticia than allow someone else, let alone his own brother, have dibs on her. And that's not even taking into consideration that his friend Marcelo/Santiago is/was her HUSBAND. I still want to have hope that there's redemption in Iñaki's future but as far as I can see there's only two ways that can happen: either he wakes up and sees that Ana Leticia isn't worth it or he realizes how unfairly he's treating his father and is eventually on his knees begging for forgiveness.
 

Thanks Ria, for acknowleding my comment.
We shall see who is mysterry murderer is. Marcello was never evil, maybe when he was near death, he was possessed by demon spirit. It doesnt seem like dame Marcello unless knowing his wife tried to kill him might have hardened him.

Leticia
 

TF- If there was any doubt before that Inaki killed Dan, there's no doubt after this episode. He was flashing back to the murder all by himself as he looked at Dan's crypt.
 

Typo... "Same Marcello" not dame Marcello.
Leticia
 

TF, yes - I also want Inaki to be redeemed!! Why did they have to make him a murderer! See, I would think since he had the same flashback of killing Daniel, it is likely him. You are definitely right though on his redemption and having to realize who Ana Le is and what's important - and hopefully he can do both actually!

Leticia, agreed - I doubt it's Marcelo who killed that woman. Besides he was too busy arranging Ana Lu/Ana Le meet up

Thanks Ria for an awesome recap! I'm loving the nicknames we keep coming up with. Name-Key will need constant revision lol. Still trying to catch up here, but some of my favorite lines:

Marcelo – still in his jaguar mode – sneaks up on her

Soledad was busy trying to map the emergency exits

...unsure if he meant stunning or stunned – because one of those she already is

Ana Le looks like she wishes she had a strong drink nearby or someone to push off the building to calm her nerves.
 

UrbanI read the Dear Prudence letter, and I laughed. It's so fitting for our poor AnaLu. I hope she's not embarazada b/c that would be embarra-SAD-a. Having to reunite while preggers w/ your sister's hubby would isolate her from the family further, I think.

Jarifa "All the usual suspects lured to the same place by the siren call of another dead woman. The faceless murderer looked too imposing" You write comments like poetry, chica.

Vivi I'm not surprised, I usually find you and I are in sync on alot of things, amiga. And you just reminded me, the vacay is probably going to be postponed. If not by Ram, then a very jealous Llora who always seems to find a reason to distrust him. In this case, she wouldn't be wrong to since he wasn't too smart.

Anon8:49 Lol, you had me laughing. An IQ of 5 is pretty generous though :P

TF I don't think it's Marrano anymore b/c I'm not sure he'd want to expose himself as her former lover, or connected to her in any way. Besides, he may be a womanizer but I don't think he's a schemer. Like Inaki, their murders were crimes of passion so I don't see him going out of his way to kill again and plot a scam.

Carvivlie Good point, Marcelo isn't thinking clearly (letting his revenge blind him) or he plans to protect AnaLu from AnaLet. I agree w/ you on the Ratmundo theory. It makes sense that he'd know about Gina since he was asked to investigate her by Nerina. He'd know about all the men, including his son. He also has motive, since right now his son is launching an investigation that could expose him. A blast from the past, along w/ a framed murder that involves her other lovers would keep Ram busy & distracted nicely.

Julie BLIMEY, I was screaming too! Plus I threw a few socks at my screen and a couch pillow haha. Still can't find one sock but yes as inept as our galans were, it was very good tv :P

Daisy I don't think Oily has it in him to be a killer. He's a goon of Ev's under duress & the fact he gets to interfere w/ AnaLu. I don't see a guy who's guilty for putting Dani in the hospital as a guy willing to go so far.

Anon12:58 I don't think that was a tape of Gina's voice, but rather the hooker's voice to show Ram that he was tricked. If he had walked in to find a random dead hooker, it wouldn't have been clear that she was used to mimic Gina.

Susanlynn Inaki couldn't be a suspect for a number of reasons. His only murder was a crime of passion, and should he kill again, it's most likely out of his crazed obsession w/ AnaLet. I don't see him going out of his way for a woman he doesn't know and for 2/3 of men he hardly is aware is linked to her. UNLESS, AnaLet ordered him to do this. But it seems odd since she hasn't really spoken to Inaki or even directed interest in him since her happy reunion w/ her hubby. I could see her doing this impulsively during one of her raging conniptions, but not methodically.


AnonGringa The only dark-haired guy aside from Santiago, Ramiro, and Inaki would be Daniel. He's the bearded one who is shown removing his sunglasses. He died already. I'm assuming you didn't mean Valentin b/c he has curly light hair and is not in any way sexy or attractive in the intro. He looks like a frickin' gremlin lol.

Leticia I was wondering the same. But I think his paralysis is real, he wouldn't fake it around his sister I don't think and he wouldn't have risked losing Gina by faking it either. Besides, his attempt at intimidation by Santicelo's hospital bed was pathetic. I don't think he's our suspect, it's not consistent w/ his character.

Niecie I don't see Marcelo as a bad guy either, a badass for sure but considering he still remembers his attempted assassination, he's actually being much kinder than he needs to be in his "revenge" plot.
 

Oops, meant to say "Like Inaki, their murders (IF TioM did indeed kill Gina) were crimes of passion"
 

Anna Nabil--

Well it looks like whoever is behind the phone call and the murder of that woman exposed Mariano. I'm pretty sure Ramiro and Valentin only knew of each other's relationship with Gina but not any other lovers that she had. Given that Mariano is Ana Laura's uncle and both Ram and Val have/had a relationship with her one or both of them might feel the need to tell her the truth about her uncle.
 

You know, what AnaLet really needs is not a dress that looks like a dog halter, but a dress that comes with a muzzle.
 

Julie, that one should be on the sidebar.
 

Thank you, Urban - it might require too much context to stand on its own! (But maybe someone should forward the idea to Viridiana for her next fashion show.)
