Tres Veces Ana - #94: An Open Secret

Color Guide:
Recall in Red
Reader Response in Blue
Spanish Dialogue in Green

Ana Lu needs a clue

We return to the scene after Solebad has her concierge/taxi service, Evaristo, pick her up. He takes her to a restaurant, where she woes on and on about AnaLu being An-aloof. He thinks it's time she told the truth to not risk losing her, but she's desperate to know what Aloof knows exactly so she doesn't overspill her jar of secrets. He gets Shakespearian: But the truth strains out through the smallest crack, and always ends up coming to the surface (Pero la verdad se cuela hasta por la rendija más pequeña, y siempre termina por salir a la superficie). In any case, he promises to protect her. She blames him for being sloppy (descuidaste) and bringing Marcelo to her doorstep.

Flashback to Evaristo getting tied up by Martinez:
Ev tells him he’ll be sorry for killing his granddaughter. Martinez says he didn’t do it. Ev warns him that he’d already called Marcelo beforehand and he’s coming to settle this betrayal, which happened all for the damned money. Martinez threatens to talk of Ev’s betrayal and the significance of Soledad Hernandez. Ev wants to know how he came to know this. An enemy more powerful than him. Ev forbids him saying a word. Martinez finishes tying him up, and asks his family to stay quiet.

when papa brings home tied captives 

Ev drops her home where she finds Aloof giving her the cold shoulder again. After many attempts at a conversation, Sole pleads for Aloof not to ignore her. She breaks her silence to say she’s lost her trust. Sole had known Marcelo all along, and Aloof wants to know why he’d want to destroy her and why he says they must escape him. Solebad only wants her happiness and thinks running away is a good idea. Aloof refuses to go anywhere, she doesn’t want her mother to talk to her or come near unless it’s with the truth. Sole sobs anxiously, and gives in. “What do you want to know?” She asks about her father’s name, but Sole says "Anything but that". Then she asks to tell her about her sister. At this Sole is shocked, and asks which sister. Sofia. But that can’t be done as it becomes too much for Sole to bear, and she exits the room. (Woman, throw the dog a bone! Hell, we'll even take a biscuit!

Marcelo and Ram are still arguing about Gina’s demise. Ram wants to know who was the employee who killed Gina. Flashback to Marcelo holding Martinez at gunpoint:
Martinez is pleading with Marcelo, saying that the girl had committed suicide. Marcelo said he knew it was him, since he followed her. But Martinez only did as he was commanded, he knows he betrayed him but there was a lot of money involved, and Ev, the shyster, is not worth him risking his life. Marc won’t have him speak that way about his comrade, and he shoots him.


Hold me, Marcy

Marc says he doesn’t forgive betrayal easily. Well Ram doesn’t forgive not being told after having carried the guilt of a supposed suicide on his shoulders all these years. Marc is unconvincingly repentant, things just out of hand. Ram is shocked at how little regret he seems to have. Marc has a flashback to his moment of regret:
He unties Ev who grovels gratefully that he saved his life and he’ll never forget this. A little Martinez Jr. comes in with his mama and baby sibling to ask what Marcelo did to his papa.

When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it...
I'll be waiting

There was a time he felt regret, but he’s different now. Ram sees his coldness, and says he’s not the friend he remembers, the one who’d consider others’ feelings. But see, it’s the very same people he considered that Marcelo is wary of. Ram thinks he’s lost the goodness in him, it’s separated into Santiago and if he doesn’t reconcile with his other half, he’ll become a psychotic monster.

Perks to being a Psychotic Monster: Loyal minions

Marc goes upstairs to find AnaLet clean of her Joker smile. He hopes she’s still not mad at him for whooping her Tio. She applies lotion on her legs hurriedly, and wants him to leave her alone. He sees that she likes Santi better because she can manipulate him, but there’s no need to be against him since it’s only a matter of time before he dies, she only has to wait. She claims she doesn’t want that, but she doesn’t know how this marriage will work. Despite himself, she’s the most important thing for him. He says he’s willing to meet her conditions, so long as she earns his trust and gives her what he’d lost: a baby. (One of the signs of the Apocalypse is the birth of the devil incarnate, Viewerville starts stocking canned goods and emergency supplies).


Ernestina and Llora are discussing Llora's wedding plans, over tea, and keeping with the tradition of celebrating a marriage request dinner (celebra la pedida de mano) to make it official. Llora and Ram are down with any tradition Erne wants to make happen (including pin the money on the bride,  whacking a prostethic piñata, and riding the "Just Married" burro into the sunset). Leonor will cook a spectacular dinner, and Llora wants to make the dessert. Erne suggests flan, but Llora wants to make something tastier (what?! What is tastier than fla—ohhh, ok. Uh, that's for the wedding night, no?).

They're Inceseparable

Marrano gets a surprise visit from Ana Lecherous. (He really should change his locks ...and maybe get a rottweiler). She didn't want to wait for him at the office to admit that her behavior yesterday was out of line (You might wanna start with the incest stuff, sweet cheeks). Marrano feels that if she's sincere, she needs to start by giving an apology. (Si de verdad tu arrepentimiento es sincero, tendrías que empezar por pedir disculpas). She's all, yeah dummy that's why I'm here. He's all, not to me, to Viri and her employee. They head over to the boutique so she can grovel more appropriately. She approaches Viri to tell her that her Uncle was right (Um, was that an apology?) and while she doesn't remember the name of the seamstress, she'd like to talk to her. She then asks Sole if she remembers her (No, the fangs are missing). She explains very snootily that she was dealing with her own issues (Pfft, that's an understatement), and took it out on her that day. Sole says the apology isn't necessary. AnaLet says even though she had to do it, she feels so much better, so much in fact that she wantonly throws herself at her uncle. He hugs her back, saying he's proud. Aww, big happy incestuous family. She then looks at Viri and sarcastically tells her that she hopes she's satisfied. Viri smiles, although she'd prefer to give her neck a hug ...with her hands ...tightening a noose ...that's lit on fire.


Rem pleads with Nerpina, asking her if she was able to convince Claw from spilling the frijoles. Aloof drops in, and Rem tries to play off that they're just discussing the bills. Santi used to make sure they got paid. Aloof offers to take the payments to the bank, since she's got nothing better to do. Rem says that she better hurry before the lights get cut off. She hands her what looks like crisp American dollar bills. Now with Aloof gone, they continue talking and Nerp mentions that Clawdia loves the uncle, Marrano, and she wishes to marry him. Rem corrects her: that's not love, that's interest. “Sorry, but after what your kids did to you, clearly money comes first”. (Perdóname, pero después de lo que tus hijos te hicieron a ti, claro que siempre ven el dinero por delante). Nerp begged Clawd to give them time before running her mouth. Then Rem becomes upset that Nerp made a derp and told Clawdia about Sole, she felt she had no other choice since Clawd knows where to come to get all this info. They pray that the uncle doesn't find out about Sole, or he'd kill her.

Just gonna stop by a few malls first, k?

Gambling thugs (They're like a Dr. Seuss version of Thug 1 and Thug 2) show up at Inaki's and are surprised he called them before they expected (El miedo no anda en burro: Fear doesn’t ride a donkey, similar to “Fear has wings” or “Fear gives caution”). He assures them it's all there and that the check is real. Word (Palabra). They still question it, ¿No será de hule tu chequecito? (The check isn’t made of rubber, is it?), so he insists that he wouldn't try any foolishness but he can even take them to the bank to prove it. Big thug decides instead to have Little thug keep an eye on him while he has the check verified at the bank. Meanwhile Little thug rummages through the fridge pulling out champagne and sniffing out the cheeses. Inaki tells him to be careful. “I get it, pig-headed puny” (Entiendes bien, canijo). He wants to know how a guy who grew up with a circus knows how to use cutlery. Just then the Big thug arrives back surprised, the check came back good. Inaki says ta-ta, never wanting to see them again. Little thug wants to say goodbye properly and punches Inaki until he hits the floor. (Eh, I give it a 7.5)

Someone should probably tell Ev he's got cousins

Ghoulieta is at Inaki's place and has a flashback to her son on a phone call:
He’s screaming into his phone promising he’ll prove himself, then flings it to the floor. Ghouls observes this upon entering his room. He swears sometimes he wants to kill her. Ghoulieta tells him that woman treats him like a toy. He defends her as the woman he loves. Ghouls thinks he's exaggerating, she's married to the man she chose. Dani blurts out that if she truly loved her hubster, then she wouldn't have asked him to get rid of him. She wants to know what he means. He tells her not to meddle while forcefully pushing her out the door. 


Dani lives on thru her memories, just not very good ones

Ghouls wonders why Inaki protects Marcelo, he corrects her that it’s Santiago. All the same to her, he’s still the husband of the woman he’s interested in. She knowingly addresses that his love is unrequited, that AnaLet is just playing him like her son. Inaki pictures his success at bedding AnaLetsGetitOn (Viewerville arches their head, um well it doesn’t look like he's losing).  He didn't ask her to come so she could pry into his private life. He's simply a luxury for her, and that costs money. (Yes, and Viewerville wants to know if you'll take credit card). She pays him his fee, and sets calendar dates for Tuesdays and Thursdays. That's suitable what with her being so busy, and his work schedule not of any consequence. She responds calmly that she hopes his sarcasm becomes less annoying over time (Nah, we like it). He's happy to set his allowance at monthly intervals, so it doesn't seem so bad. (Well, aren't you the considerate fella). She then warns she'll prorate any days he misses.

Quick, somebody jot down the routing number!

Just then, a knock is at the door and it's Javier. Ghouls contorts her face into her best ghastly stare. Javier barges his way in, despite Inaki's efforts to shoo him away. Inaki introduces his guest as a business client, and Javier sheepishly shakes her hand as she exclaims how she's so glad to finally have met him, having heard so much from Inaki. Inaki excuses her as already leaving, but Ghouls wishes to stay. Inaki pushes her out anyway, and she loudly remarks that she hopes her paying visits will soon be for pleasure, rather than business. Javier looks on awkwardly. (Starting to wonder if these writer incest-addicts are reading way too much Oedipus).


Discount Bros: Buy 1 son, get 1 free!

Evilristo gets an update from Oily, who has brought the photos he took of AnaLet and Inaki making out in the car, and visiting at the hotel. Evil is having trouble focusing on the images, so he has his grandthug make sure to forward them to him. AnaLet has gone back to her old habits, and he plans on taking advantage of this at the right time. Oily is oozing with envy of Inaki who gets to be with such a woman. Evil quickly vaccinates him with a firm negative, he's under no circumstances allowed to be with her (Allow? Silly rabbit, vampires drink blood, not snake oil). Evil doesn't suspect she knows her sister is alive, but Oily reminds him that Inaki is Santi's bff & could tell her. Ev plans to handle the situation while Oily takes the day off to fantasize Santi's face finding out about his two-timing friend.

Remedios tells Suzy she has to stay behind to clean, while she goes to the food market. Facundo is waiting outside for her, and expects her to come with him if she wants to die –er...uh, live. Rem doesn't trust him, he then grabs her after she turns him away, but she threatens to yell fire. So he uses the good ol' trusty rusty emotional knife to twist into her, by telling her that THEIR son needs both their help. She finally, yet pensively, follows him into her car. (Viewerville counts the amount of steps she took to walk to the car, and figures this is her IQ number).

Face says it all: I got your sorry assk!

Maribel joins Aloof for a walk to the bank and she's still yammering about Ramiro hoping for his number. She can see herself marrying him, while AnaLu will end up with "–Nobody", says the Aloof one, cutting her off. (Not even Isidro? There has to be some desperate girl out there for that man). She suggests that Maribel check out the wedding dress shop, while she goes to the bank. Maribel expects her to come back to take pictures, Aloof agrees & calls her a loca.(Loca y desesperada).

Look they sell Reem Acra and Love,
just the place for female desperation!

Maribel walks in, and the shop looks pretty pricey. She overhears a gushing Leonor and Ernestina helping a fussy Llora try on a gown, who has her back to Maribel. Just then, Maribel sees her face in the mirror and gets muy cara impactada (Great, now let's just wrap this up with El Curvas finding out and Isidro mistakenly chasing after Ana Leticia, so we make sure all the burritos and joyitos in Mexico know EXCEPT Aloof). A shop associate, straight out of Pretty Woman, tells Bel that she should leave since she doesn't look like she could afford anything here anyway. (Viewerville wishes to send Bel crumpled hundreds to shove in that associate's cara fea), Bel says that she has a heart (I mean, until recently that was questionable, but yeah you tell that cold witch!). Hearts with frowns don't buy gowns, so she leaves out of there looking back uncertainly. Ernestina is happily imagining Llora in that Kate Middleton dress, on her Tio's arm, limping down the aisle. (They should totally make Tin the ring bearer!). Ernestina tells Llora that Tio took the news well, regarding her pedida de mano dinner tonight. Llora is glad him and Ram are getting along so well.

Maybe try Sears

Speaking of our 2 galans. Rambo shows up at Marrano's office. (Viewerville hears the boxing ding). But all we get is collar-grabbing and vociferation. (Alright, well it's Rameo so we'll take what we can get). He wants to know why Marrano, a man he respected and admired (Really? The womanizer?), deceived him. He now knows where AnaLet gets her cynicism, and her lack of shame & dignity from. (Viewerville still pondering who gave her the murder gene). Marrano plays victim, claiming she deceived them both. Ram isn't biting (oh, but we wish he would), and is certain he was the guy that stole Gina from Tin. Marrano initially denies it, but then admits to it and even slips up by saying that he was in the bedroom when he overheard Ram dumping Gina. Ram feels even more betrayed, and asking what Marrano expects him to understand about his being in her bedroom the day he was to wed. Meanwhile, a nervous Adriana lets AnaLet about the shouting coming from that office.

No, Ram you're doing it wrong!
You push ppl DOWN the stairs, not up the stairs. 

Avances: Rem is being threatened at gun point by Marcelo, and we also see him go through a few headache pangs. Must see tv.

Comment below and gather, to discuss, vent, or blather, while upon this blog I slather, a recap of thrills ...or chills, rather. Aw, sniggity snap! *scratches her mousepad like a disc jockey*

Labels:


Comments:
Looking forward to the recap!

I busted out laughing when Maribel saw Ana Laura-- for many reasons. The first, the irony of Maribel going window shopping for wedding dresses for her fantasy wedding to Ramiro, and then running into the actual woman who's going to marry him picking out her dress. And the biggest reason I went into a fit of giggles is because it seems that the writers are determined to have EVERY single character, EXCEPT Ana Lucia, know that she has identical sisters before it's revealed to her. Who next? Susy? (You don't even know who she is, do you? Yep, she'll still likely know before Ana Lucia does.)
 

Ah Vivi your funny! I missed last night's episode, on the dvr. I'm looking forward to seeing that scene. Of course Maribel didn't pop into the shop and tell her "you look exactly like my friend right? You have to meet her!" Nooo, of course not. I hope they don't wait until the last week of episodes to reunite.
 

Viri That's why my recap was almost titled Everybody Knows AnaLu (a play on Everbody Loves Raymond/Everybody Hates Chris). It's ridiculous that everyone and their mexican mama knows BUT the person who needs to know. Btw, this "powerful enemy" Ev has that's been in the shadows and doesn't seem to be an obvious suspect is making me wonder what Rodrigo has been doing the last 40 years, where has he been hiding and for a guy who hunted after Soledad Hernandez's mom (Margerita), he sure seemed intent on getting that info & somehow didn't find any retribution in his attempts to proving his innocence. You'd think he'd be way more salty towards Erne.

I've already typed out the recap, just fixing the grammar and typing up the first 15 min I missed while trying to catch up on Monday's epi.
 

ViVi, Let's see, who knows now? Orlando, Maribel, Evilisto, Remedios, Nerina, Clawdia, SoeBad, Ramiro, AnaLetme(Slap-you-and...), Marcelo, Santiago, Facundo, Inaki, that's a lucky thirteen, who did I leave out? We aren't counting dead ones, as they have a lower probability of contributing to the coming chaos.

They must all live in D.F. where there is only one of everything, investigators, bridal shops, Real Estate agencies, etc...

Wow, I have seen some squirrels before, but AnaLetme is at the top of the tree. She IS crazy, hide your nuts boys.


TOA
 

Carvivilie that is exactly what I was thinking watching Maribel. The average person would get their friend and tell them, "Hey, you have a double." or something if the resemblance was very close. Most people are amused or curious to see a replica or reasonable facsimile of themselves.





TOA
 

All I wanted to say in the last scene was: Remedios, don't go! People don't change that completely unless they are/were lying.

I could not believe that Mariano chose to believe Ana Leticia one more time as she extended her "apologies" and then proceeded to wrap herself around her dear "tío". He either "gets it" and likes it or is stupid. No other possibilities.

So glad Ramiro found out about Mariano and Gina's last fling before the wedding.
 

Yeah, this parade of discoveries is really annoying me because when it ends and Ana Lucia finally meets either or both of her sisters she will be angry with everyone for having not told her. SantMarc will probably take the worst of it followed by SoleBad.

Here's hoping SantMarc sees a doctor soon.

WTF is Facundo up to now? Is he going to try to kill Remedios?
 

Marcelo really needs to let it go about that kiss AnaLet and Ramiro shared, since she came on to him and he rejected her. Him comparing this "betrayal" to Mariano boinking Ramiro's fiance, even on their wedding day, is ridiculous! I'm also glad that Ramiro now knows all the dirty truth, and threw Mariano's hypocrisy in his face. This is going to make that engagement dinner tonight VERY awkward...
 

Maribel had no chance to say OMG at Ana Laura because the sales clerk told her she was too broke to be in the store and to get gone.

Now will Maribel tell Ana Lucia she has a twin? Of course not. She'll be stopped by either Orlando or Soledad.

CLAUDIA will probably be the one to end up telling Ana Lucia. Either she will or Ana Lucia will run into the other triplets.

At this point, Ana Lucia needs to Google "Marcelo Salvaterra" and she will find out all the information she needs to know. Why she HASN'T googled Marcelo OR Ana Leticia (since she's so hot to confront Ana Leticia), I have no idea.
 

Anna: "Btw, this 'powerful enemy' Ev has that's been in the shadows and doesn't seem to be an obvious suspect is making me wonder what Rodrigo has been doing the last 40 years" - yeah, I would bet on Rodrigo as the "powerful enemy." He looks so sweet and harmless and mousy, he's probably a dragon in disguise.

Regarding Remedios, crime statistics strongly suggest that you should never, ever, ever, nunca, jamas get in a car with someone just because they tell you to. If someone wants to "talk," they don't need a car to do that. But they do need a car to transport you to your burial site.

I always imagined that AnaLu would run into AnaLet by chance, maybe at a ring shop. (Let's imagine that there's a ring store that serves both AnaLu's end of the market as well as AnaLet's.) I almost fainted last night when I thought that AnaLu was going to run into AnaLaura last night at a bridal shop.

Now, Maribel. I agree with what Vivi said. It was too funny. Also funny were Bel's eyes. I didn't think they could get any bigger! I was a little confused by that scene - I thought AnaLu had gone into the store with her? No? Well, we don't know that Bel won't tell her. Maybe we'll see that tonight. (I have been wondering all along why she's even in this story; maybe she'll be the person who finally clues AnaLu in.)

And poo on the snooty sales clerk at the bridal shop.
 

Another thought - maybe AnaLaura's engagement to Ramiro will make the society page in the newspaper. Opportunity for comedy: next morning at breakfast, Remedios is reading the newspaper and there is a big hole missing. Remedios tells AnaLu that there was a great coupon that she had to cut out right away.
 

Julie- AnaLu went to the bank nearby to finish her errands for Rem, and wasn't feeling the whole fantasy wedding dress shopping thing. Yes, let's see what Maribel does, but I'm guessing she'll stay true to the plot so far and tell someone else about it first. Someone who already knows the truth and then somehow convinces her to keep quiet about it. Soon, the whole pension will be having secret meetings when AnaLu isn't around, to discuss HER secret.
 

I actually think that Maribel will tell Ana Lucia about her doppelganger, because I see no reason for Maribel to keep shut since she doesn't know that Ana Lucia has two sisters identical to her, but I think when she tells Ana Lucia, A Lu will throw if off as something unimportant.

I guess there's no chance Maribel will tell Orlando, right? (We know Orlando knows, but Maribel doesn't know that.) Just thinking, if Orlando knew that Maribel knows, and Orlando told Evaristo, that could put Maribel in a bad spot.

But, as Anon 11:28 points out, there is no obvious reason for Maribel to treat this as special information. She has no idea as to its significance. And she doesn't even like Orlando any more.
 

Well I wanted to barf last night when Marcelo suggested to Ana Le that they have their own child. That would be one sorry child being born to a psychopathic mother and father with a personality disorder. Heck he's the better of the two of them and with this brain tumor, he would die and the kid would be stuck with Ana MeMe for a mother.

When Maribel saw Ana Laura trying on the wedding gown, she should have said, "excuse me, you look beautiful. By the way, I know someone who looks exactly like you. Her name is Ana Lucia."
 

Yes, it freaked me out when Marcelo said he wanted to have a child with A-Let. Talk about the Evil seed!
 

Recap is up! Having trouble with grabbing screenshots. Gonna try a bit later at the library. Btw, I love when I read the comments, and you guys are in sync with my thoughts. It makes my Viewerville comments feel much more aligned with the patio, and not so much just my own thoughts in my head.
 

Well done, Anna, thanks!
 

Thanks Anna! OMG so Marc knows he could/will die from his tumor and wants to have a baby with a lunatic just so his dna carries on! So selfish.
 

I don't think it's a lineage thing, since he never stopped to think about them having kids until he realized he was almost a father. I think it's a sort of "closure" of the lost kid and relationship "revival" type of thing he's trying to have with AnaLet. But it's stupid b/c Ev pointed out he didn't know if it was his or Dani's. And even if she does get preggers, we won't know if it's his or Inaki's. I hope he keeps it in his pants until he gets a mail delivery of those photos soon. Btw, I think Santiago will come back to save Remedios tonight, but it'd be a big shocker if they kill her off and it causes Santi to emerge even stronger.
 

Oh and your welkies, you guys! :D
 

Holy Guacamole Anna. Did you used to write for Colbert or Kimmel or somebody? I thought so, they are not as funny after you left. I especially liked Viewerville stocking up on canned goods.

Thank You the color coding sure adds a new dimension.






TOA
 

Great recap, Anna! Thank you.

I am sure the good side of Marcelo (aka Santiago) won't let him kill Remedios. She was stupid for getting into the car with a dude she knows can't stand her. And if SantMarc were really in trouble, wouldn't he have started off with that first? Didn't she hear anything Chana told her?

Surprised that Marcelo seems just as resigned as Santiago to let the tumor kill him without trying to have surgery. This baby plan is crazy. If the docs are only giving him six months, he wouldn't even be around to see the child born.
 

I don't think Marcelo really meant it. I think he was trying to scare Ana MeMeMe. He has to know that her vanity and selfishness would never allow for pregnancy and birth. However he should remember the adage "You asked for it: because she could end up knocked up by someone else.
 

They will know if it is Inaki's if AnaLet winds up preggers from the other night. When the Doctor smacks him on the butt he will smack the Doctor back !








TOA
 

@TOA LMBO!! I'm in the library now and not supposed to laugh!
 

Thank you, Banana Muffin. This was hysterical from beginning to end.
 

Soledad's got some nerve blaming any aspect of her troubles on Evaristo! Everything he's done has been for her, and she'd have gone to jail long ago without his help. What is she thinking?
 

New song of the night: "Ana Lu Doesn't Know!"


 

Julie- What's even more appalling is that Soledad is basically blaming Ev for not succeeding in KILLING Marcelo, so that he couldn't come back to bother her with pesky inconveniences like jail.
 

Viri smiles, although she'd prefer to give her neck a hug ...with her hands ...tightening a noose ...that's lit on fire.

My fave of the day, Anna.

Someone else said that the previous version didn't bring the sisters together until almost the last episode and I wish this one would defy that. This is so maddening that this story about the slutty and greedy Gina is clogging this up. I'm almost at the point of saying that I don't care who killed her because everyone involved is better off with her deader than a doornail. However, I'm thinking that Ana MeMeMe had something to do with it. Same motive as the murder of Jenny.

As much as he is right about it I think the chances of Ramiro dragging SantMarc to a shrink are slim to less than none.

SoleBad is no more enlightened than before.

Oy, vey!


 

Steve I was thinking "One flew over the CucKoo's nest" but on second thought, there weren't enough really CRAZY people in it.










TOA
 

Vivi I don't recall her blaming him for not succeeding in killing Marcelo, from what I can tell she's not aware of Marc's accident being a "murder", let alone one by Evaristo. She does blame him for bringing him to her doorstep, since Ev somehow wasn't careful w/ his personal info. We see him talk about Sole very casually w/ certain people. She'd also hoped he could misdirect Marcelo in finding her seeing as how he knew where he was headed long enough to intervene on her behalf when Marc held her at gunpoint.
 

Anna- She certainly knew that Ev could have only gotten rid of him by killing him when he escorted Marcelo out of her house at gunpoint three years ago. She's very don't ask-don't tell about it all, but she knew what was really going on. She was secure enough that Ev "took care" of him, that she didn't up and leave the town with Ana Lucia after Ev took Marcelo away.
 

SoeBad is just as flippin crazy as AnaLet,just not as resourceful. AnaLet, coming from a family of enablers with money, prestige, and power will go after someone, and enjoy it. SoeBad is just a whimpering shivering mass of self pity and would prefer to cry someone else into doing the dirty work out of guilt. Just as crazy though. toa
 

Fantastic Anna.

"AnaLu being An-aloof" and "Gambling thugs (They're like a Dr. Seuss version of Thug 1 and Thug 2)" were among many favorites.

As of now, the characters I'm most interested in are Ana, Inaki, Marcelo and (only to a slightly lesser degree) Ramiro.

Inaki is working his mother like the grand grafter that he is. Good for him! When Javier materialized, I felt nothing for Julieta, but my heart went out to Javier. Even though he is a murderer, Inaki does have a conscience and it is obvious she has wounded him to the quick. I hope Javier doesn't find out who his mother is...I suspect his kind heart will want him to form a relationship with her. She simply doesn't deserve it.

The look on Maribel's face was priceless! Poor Anna Luc - the very last to know...

Thank you so much Anna!

Diana
 

Something else I noticed - outside the bridal shop, I thought AnaLu said something about not being able to marry Santiago in a church since he had already been married in a church. I think that means that Ana Leticia has to die.
 

^well, that escalated quickly

Viri I suspected as much in that she figures he's done some bad things, but I don't think she knows enough for sure to outright blame him. Although, the whole victim mentality she and Tin have developed is irritating to say the least.


 

Thanks, Anna! So many good ones that this one may be funniest one yet! Loved these:

"Woman, throw the dog a bone! Hell, we'll even take a biscuit!) "

"Viewerville counts the amount of steps she took to walk to the car, and figures this is her IQ number)."

"Great, now let's just wrap this up with El Curvas finding out and Isidro mistakenly chasing after Ana Leticia, so we make sure all the burritos and joyitos in Mexico know except Aloof)."

As you all, I was too mystified writers felt Maribel is the next logical person to find out. I wonder now if she will think it's a freaky coincidence and sit on the fence debating whether she's gone crazy and if she should tell anyone.

Barfcelo and Ana Le had a confusing scene as well. You want a child with her and now, when you are full of doubts and everything is pointing to her being a crazy murderer? This brain tumor better be at fault for that. Between spineless Santi and literal Ana Le obsessed Marcelo, there is not much by way of galans to look at... The recaps though are awesome and even better sometimes than the episode - like this one. Thanks again, Ms. Banana Muffin :)



 

Screenshots are up! Gracias to all the comments. Gonna hit the bricks and get some grub. You all stay pretty and witty :D
 

Superb Anna. I missed everything last night having to work until 10:15 pm. GRRR.
Your splendid and funny recap got me everything I needed, and then some. And thank to all for the comments.

Still shaking my head that ONE MORE person has seen a hidden sister and poor AnaLu is still sitting there in the dark. I couldn't have watched Soledad, I would want to smack her. I guess it's keeping her alive to be ignorant of her sister, the NutJOb, but just borders on silly now on each new person reveal.


 

I really don't think Marcelo wants to have a baby with Ana MeMeMe. What he may want to do at this point is tie her down and control her, knowing she cheated on him with Daniel. Considering how self-centered she is this could be the only way.

Remember also that we have no proof she ever was pregnant at all. She could have been telling a whopper of a lie, as no one else appears to have been aware.

I have difficulty believing that she would ever be willing to have a baby at all. Even Mariano's.
 

Good Lord AnaBanana, you were really on a roll tonight! Multi-colored ink, a whole frickin' load of screenshots (of course my favorite was the one with the caption "They're inceseparable" and then this:

(Viewerville counts the amount of steps she took to walk to the car, and figures this is her IQ number).

Oh ouch, I hurt I laughed so much. Poor Remedios. Unbelievable.

As was the recap. Mercy my friend, this took a lot of time. A lot. But such a treat. Thank you.
 

Thank you, Anna, for a great recap. And thanks to the other recappers. I have finally caught up, starting out about 25 episodes behind. I have been faithfully reading the recaps and commentary but am glad that I watched the novela, too. I have enjoyed the twists and turns, the good production values, the music, some fine performance and interesting characters. Inaki and Viridiana are my current favorites.

I fear that the final meeting of the triplets may take a while longer. There are so many other stories that can chew up the last thirty episodes or so, including the reconciliation (?) of Julieta with her sons, some closure for Nerina and her children, etc. Lots of lost children and bad fathers in this one (Fecund and Edmundo are a pair!). I recall reading maybe on the Univision site that the meeting between two of the sisters is by "chance" - we will see. Chana told Ramiro early on that he and Anna Laura would hold the key to resolving the missing-Anna-Lucia case. Chana is another one of my favorites but an iffy seer. Nevertheless, that sounded like a solid prediction.

I, too, suspect that Remedies will survive through the intervention of either Santiago or Marcelo.

120 episodes seems like nothing after LQLVMR. Glad to be back on track with you all.

BTW, Virginia (an Ohio neighbor - I am in Cleveland), mentioned that our beautiful couple might be breaking up in real life. I think the story is actually that they remain a couple but have decided not to do another novela together for now. I guess that after playing five characters between them they are ready for some new and separate acting opportunities.
 

Welcome Traveling Lady (hi cleveland neighbor!), so glad you could catch up to us. I too was about 10 to 15 epis behind and was happy to finally join this group. Looking fwd to your comments, and phew *wipes brow* they are the TN Brangelina. I'd be severely upset, like 'shaking my fist at the sky, yelling STELLA' upset!

Urban, I agree its a control tactic.

JudyB, I ouched too. Mis dedos me duele!

Daisy, next time I'll put up a screenshot of her so you do all the smacking you want. With a bottle of Windex of course, so you leave no fingerprints ;)
 

Anna, I have enjoyed this recap so very much. Laughed and giggled all the way through. Some of the comments were hilarious!

Loved "They will know if it is Inaki's if AnaLet winds up preggers from the other night. When the Doctor smacks him on the butt he will smack the Doctor back !"

Travelin Lady- Thank you for your info on Angelique and Rulli. Love this couple... so glad they are still together.

BTW I love Cleveland! Taught in CMSD for over 25 years. Drove almost 100 miles a day to and from work, but I loved my job. I taught Reading/Writing at the Elementary School of Arts at Cam's Corners for many years.


 

I noticed the pop culture references you used from Kill Bill "When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it, i'll be waiting" and Mean Girls "try Sears". Funny ! love those films and this show !
