Tres Veces Ana - #94: An Open Secret
Ana Lu needs a clue |
Martinez clan doesn't seem to mind 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!)
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:
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).
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.
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:
Dani lives on thru her memories, just not very good ones |
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).

Face says it all: I got your sorry assk! |
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.
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: ana
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.)
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.
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.

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.
Here's hoping SantMarc sees a doctor soon.
WTF is Facundo up to now? Is he going to try to kill Remedios?
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.
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.
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.
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."
Thank You the color coding sure adds a new dimension.

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.

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!

"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
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.
"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 :)
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.
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.
(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.
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.
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 ;)
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.
