Tres Veces Ana #85 - Tres Veces Conditions, and the Further Postponed Mission
*Recall in Red
*Reader Reactions in Blue
Ana Leticia's dark shadow looms |
Marcelo defends AnaLu; giving the lowdown on her part in the play “How I Met Your Lover”, and how by the time Santi discovered the missing parts of the script, it was too late to go back. AnaLet is clear only on the fact that he left her bed to go into her sister's, he was messing with them both and now she’s disgusted by him. Marcelo isn’t perturbed by this, because he’s well aware that when AnaLu finds out, she won’t forgive him either. And once he plants her back in her family tree, he plans to vanish from both of their lives, definitivamente. AnaLet has other plans, they won’t talk to anyone until they solve everything that’s happened. He concurs. But she has 3 conditions he needs to comply with in order for her abue to have the reconciliation she hopes for. He has to follow all of them verbatim. (Um, why is she in a position to be making demands?)
Oh sure, and would you like fries with that? |
Evilisto is in the living room showing his certificate of integrity from the Montessori College of Mentiroso. No one finds this suspicious, they skip the fine print & give their stamp of approval. According to Marc, he’s a good buddy & according to AnaLet, all things are possible in Telenovela Land. Ernestina also agrees. So does Llora. (Viewerville is checking off a list titled “Idiotos Cándidos”). Ram wants them all to shut up and just let the man talk. But Llora’s wig is on too tight and doesn’t hear, she asks Marcelo if he remembers the name of the missing girl he was investigating. He doesn’t. Llora plays a round of “Call Out a Random Name”. Luisa, Gilda…. Evilisto is bored, “Sofia” he says. They all yell Yahtzee.
When family meetings require a dress code |
Ev tells them that he used this lead to pick up where Marc left off. AnaLet says that Ram also used the lead and found a girl who had died around the same time that AnaLu went missing. Ram says the lead went nowhere (Ok, guessing Sole's house is nowhere then). Erne wants to know what this has to do with her grandbaby. Evil says it was a girl that was cremated after being found wounded near a river. He discovered that Sofia and AnaLu were about the same age, and they are in fact, the same person. He’s sorry to say it, but the girl is dead. AnaLet acts as if she figured as much. Tears are falling, and denials are cried with consternation. Llora skips out. Leo follows behind. Ram gives Evil the evil eye.
3 Lie Detectors + 1 Detective = Un4tunate Events |
Ram then looks over and asks Marcelo why he won’t let the cat out of the bag? Marc’s got nada to say, he’s just sad to hear the news. And you, AnaLiar? Just that her abue’s sorrow breaks her heart, she suggests he go check on Llora of Perpetual Tears. Ram and his elbow patches leave. Erne is confused, she was expecting good news. Marc’s all “Me too. Gee, I’m so glad Ev is here to help with my memory”. Ev shrugs “Samesies ya’ll, but it is what it is”. AnaLet gives the acting performance of her life by consoling Erne, while Marc gives her the stare down.
No consolation without their consolation prize |
Tio Marrano is the only practical one left, and asks for the preubas (proof) in the pudding. Evilisto whips out the autopsy report and death certificate from the Misleading Morgue of Maldad. Erne wonders about the bracelet, Ram even checked that it was authentic. Ev figures since Ram got it via extortion, it’s probably not real and made by very detailed con artists. Erne can’t handle it. (Neither can we, Viewerville prays to the telenovela gods to "deliver us from Evilristo”). Tio walks her to her room, but tells Mr. Evil Guerra to not leave yet. AnaLet’s all “I was right all along, what a pity”. Evil is smiling, well, evily.
The boys take turns grading Ev's paper |
Oh Sole, it's so funny when you talk creepy! |
Leonora tries to turn off the faucet, but Llora’s plumbing is very delicate. Ram comes into her room with his toolbelt, and asks Leo to exit & let him work his magic. Ram is all “Calm down woman, it’s a frickin’ lie”. Llora is confuzzled. Ram confides that neither he nor Marc trust the bozo downstairs. Llora goes “But that integrity certificate looked legit”. Plus Marcelo assured them of his reliability. Ram says “Sure, trust the guy that got his memories jacked". Well, the truth is his memories all came back, but he’s just pretending for now. That Evilisto bastard only knows how to manipulate. Llora worries about AnaLu, alone without them. Ram promises her that he and Marc will restore her sister back to them when the time comes. He’ll even consider giving AnaLu a wedding invitation to their nuptials. Llora is down with that, and hugs her Rameo.
Chill babe, Rameo is here to patch you up ;) |
A Mexican Standoff |
Marc is curious about why Ev lied about AnaLet hiring him for murder. Evilisto laughs at this “You know what? Deep down, I admire Mrs. Salvaterra. She’s very clever at having you convinced of her innocence”. (She’s not clever, he’s just menso denso). Marc doesn’t think she’d kill her baby daddy. Ev warns he has no idea what she’s capable of –even if the pregnancy was true, how can he be sure it’s his. “Your sweet innocent wife took advantage of your absence to pay a hotel visit to Daniel Escarcega, te acuerdas?” Marcelo wants to know what he’s up to with this whole charade. Ev just wants a truce, they have a common interest in protecting AnaLu. If Marc truly loved her, then he’ll make sure AnaLet never learns the truth or else she’ll kill AnaLu. To make Marc understand how far she’ll go, he asks if he remembers the look on Jennifer’s face at the construction site. “You were unknowingly observing the work of your wife. The next woman you hold while giving her last breath …could be Ana Lucia”. Marc doesn’t believe it, why would she hurt Jennifer. Ev doesn’t have any evidence, but he knows she was in Costa Paraiso that day and she paid him good money. Marc learns she used Danny as her cash mule and figures that it was him that ordered his murder, he had all the resources & motive to do it. Marc concludes that there’s no proof of her guilt, blah blah blah. (Viewerville slaps their tv screen, Baboso!). All Ev cares about is that AnaLet never finds out her sis is alive, or Santi’s lover ….even if it means eliminating all risks. “In this moment?”, Marc challenges. Yes, Ev would kill her with his own hands before letting her get to AnaLu.
Just measuring your collar, buddy |
Marc doesn’t like the threats, and proposes killing Ev right now. Ev retorts “And I, you.” Marc is a constant problem, but he’s only still alive because Ev needs the key to that security box. Ev has outlived his loved ones, and only has Sole & AnaLu left. He’ll protect them above all. He makes Marc swear that AnaLet doesn’t know anything. Marc lies and says that to her it’s a relief to find out AnaLu died. Ev hopes it’s true. He adds one more thing: Tell Ramiro to stop playing detective, for his own sake. Advise him to keep his mouth shut (tight-lipped = boca cerradita)…for good.
Through the Looking Glass |
Dammit Tio, don't encourage her! |
Just measuring your collar, sweety |
Remember, your IQ is this many now |
Mano a mano, dos inhumanos |
Eek she's right, I DO look terrible |
Comment below & enjoy the discussion, while I give my keyboard alotta heavy percussion, about this turkey of an episode filled w/ dialogue stuffin', and sides of visual mash & editorial buffin'. Hope you came hungry ;)

New comments:
"Solebad puts away the bed chains she had prepared." Bwahahaha... why bother to use real chains when she has perfectly good psychological chains?
Also: it's rather comical, how both Marc and Tio had to have conversations with Evaristo. Not to mention that everyone in that room except Llora (and maybe Leonor?) have had dealings with him before. You'd think that more people would be suspicious of one another, what with all these private conversations.
So... we never heard AnaLet's third condition, did we? I bet it's a lulu, so to speak...
Thank you, Ana Banananana.
No worries about the accidental deletion. As Julie noted, recently Blogger has had this bug where it creates duplicates when you go in to edit. It's annoying.
Your recap however was AMAZING!!!. This was a challenge taking a break in my office and not sounding crazy giggling away. I can't even quote all the perfect lines, though I am partial to
"Llora of perpetual tears". I felt like I just fast tracked back to grade school catchism and listening to the list of saints.
Yeah, I really want to hear AnaLoon's 3rd request: I'm wondering if it's kill EvilEye? he knows all and as long as he's around, her secrets aren't safe. either that, or if SanMar does have his own fortune, he signs it all over to her. She'll need it to invest in some designer straight jackets. Or they have some really cool padded wall decor you can buy...seriously, I've seen the online catalogs.
"Dear Abby, my clingy mom has finally pushed me over the edge …of both mind & bed" Yes! I felt so bad for AnaLu in that scene, Solebad really seemed desperate and creepy. Evilristo may right about Sole being a good mother but that has changed with Sole holding Ana Lu back from doing what she wants to do with her life now that she's an adult.
Also liked "How I met your lover" and "Llora of perpetual tears" has me chuckling still.
"Ram comes into her room with his toolbelt, and asks Leo to exit & let him work his magic." Had me giggling and wishing Ram would work his magic on me ;)
Great work!!!
My original comment:
Dios Mio ! Was there anything else in this episode other than the loving , touching Father-Son-ish chat in the garden? Evaristo and Marc were bone chilling, I saw the rest of the show, but didn’t pay attention. I do remember AnaLetMeMeMe cajoling Marky Marc. She should be somebody’s campaign manager. Hell, maybe just run herself.
Our hero Marky Marc recently wanted to grind up his wife and mix her with Fido’s breakfast, now he will kill Evilisto if he beats him to the punch and kills her first? HUH? So now Marky Marc is under the influence of the “Su bebe” pixie dust? That dam old amnesia just won’t leave Marc alone. He has forgotten? that AnaLet not only hired Evaristo to kill him, but also when he turned up alive she tried it herself with her little car? I thought ‘Nookie to die for’ was a common phrase before her. HUH?
Evaristo appears to be the only one who truly sees AnaLetme(drinkyourblood) for the cold blooded psycho killer she is. I view his “protecting AnaLucy” as the reason for all his evil with a jaundiced eye. It sounds good, but just doesn’t pass the sniff test. There has to be a money angle in there somewhere. And Evilisto had to clue in our amnesiac super hero in that his delicate little a-miscarryin wifey-poo killed Jennie. HUH?
I liked Evil calling Rambo ‘Ramirito’, IE: get the kid off my ass or I’ll kill him. Yikes.
Ya know, being a rich, handsome playboy, TioIncest has bound to have had honeys all over him before. So why in Bejeezus does he not smell a Rat when SobrinaIncest is slithering all over him like an alleycat in heat? I just don’t get these Spanish guys.
Did any of the dire warnings from Mr. Evil sink in to what’s left of Marky Marc’s little brain? Is he beginning to see how diabolical she is? The maddening thing with the Evilistos and AnaLetMes is that they mix a couple tiny morsels of truth in with all their lies as camouflage. Very clever. Then you have to sort through it and figure out which is which. AAaarrrrgh. It is so much easier ‘if their lips are moving, they’re lying’.
Found myself rooting for Ev in his faceoff with Marcelo. At least Ev is trying to protect AnaLucia, no matter what his reasons are. And Marcelo was too stupid for words in this episode. Hair gel gone to his brain?
JudyB StuffHappens needs to be my license plate, it's so like me for this to happen but it helps to know every recappers been there :)
Julie I agree, but idk if Marc thinks of her as a liar anymore. She threw all these gold bricks at him until one made it's mark. Seems the word "baby" is a wildcard in Telenovela land. The psychological chains are loosening up, so you can see Sole's desperation in trying to stay close to AnaLu. Hahaha @ lulu, took me a sec to get the joke.
Vivi I think we're starting to see how he was able to stand her for the time they were dating & married. It's simple: He's a dummy. Are there no worthy galans left? I was so glad he checked her on her lies, only for him to be swindled by her not even 5 minutes into it.
Jarifa I'm glad you think it's a hoot. I didn't see the humor, but seeing you guys let stuff roll off your back makes me want to fruit-roll up with you all!
Daisy Ooh I bet you're right. That might be what Chana was alluding to, he's going to suffer something fierce! LMBO @ straight-jacket catalogs. Now, I have to look!
Lily Thanks amiga, you're always one of the best cheerleaders on here.
Anon4:40 When are you going to start signing off w/ one of the aliases I gave you? NovelaChistosa or DivertidaDiva. Pick one! Anyhow, you had me dying. You're so like me, I copy-paste everything I type b/c sh*t happens! LMBO @ evil w/ a jaundiced eye. And I'm so w/ you chica on how naive all the males are, except Ramirito & Inaki of course.
Niecie Me too, everytime Ev laughed in Marc's face, I was giddy! And yes, it's either the hair gel or over-sniffing AnaLet's perfume, the fumes have gone to his brain. I agree w/ both you & Cynthia about Llora's slip of the mouth being an issue.
Cynthia Sorry hun, I'll make it up to you with some ice cream or something when we finally meet! I actually think we need Evil a little longer b/c he's the only one aside from Ram who is interested in AnaLu's safety. For Marc, she's just unfinished business...and for AnaLet, she's finished period.
Steve Yes, probably the only one who needs to die, and probably the last one who will.
Julie Aww, I feel like a well-fed kitty *purrs*
Anon6:54 LOOOL, I bet the recapping gods felt like there was too much love on that blog & struck it down before I could see it. I'm sure I'd have gotten too full on the love & I don't edit too well while in a food coma :P
Some of my favorite lines that were fantastic:
Um, why is she in a position to be making demands?
Montessori College of Mentiroso
Llora plays a round of “Call Out a Random Name”. Luisa, Gilda…. Evilisto is bored, “Sofia” he says. They all yell Yahtzee.
She’s not clever, he’s just menso denso
Also really liking Evilisto's new nickname ;)
On the episode I mostly have one comment: Marcelo really needs to meet Ev's shovel again and see if that wouldn't knock some sense into him. Let's review: His wife asked him for divorce, did not want her sister found, had a lover, and he was told paid to assassinate him. Fast forward, and three years later he is so desperate to believe in her innocence that he ignores the fact that she was cheating when she reveals her miscarriage (I am sure her amante was sterile, that's plausible). He is told all these facts by Ramiro and Evaristo even - and while we applaud not believing people blindly in TNs, on the other hand - how blind can one be??? Actually, forget I asked that - that dude was married to her and doesn't even notice her oh-so-appropriate affinity for Mariano. Neither Santi, nor Marcelo deserve Ana Lu. They should both split Ana Le on conjugal visits in prison.
WHAT'S IN THE FRIPPIN BOX BOYS?
Oooodles of money? To easy
Both them drunk and kissing? It is a TN
Captain smedley's Map to the Tootsie Rolls?
I challenge you two scholars to devise a plan to find the other's key, then kill him.
The live one gets to open the box.
