Tres Veces Ana - # 95 - Donde esta Remedios?
Labels: ana
Intentionally or unintentionally funny? Ana Leticia just cannot be happy for Ana Laura anytime anywhere. This time around Ana Leticia was going on about how Ana Laura is leaving her behind with her marriage to Ramiro and how hard it will be for Ana Laura to be accepted by her father-in-law in her new family due to her prosthetic leg. Then she wished her luck and actually knocked on the leg with her fist!! You could hear it!!
Viridiana seems to be doing quite well protecting her relationship with Marisno from the likes of Claudia and Ana Leticia.
Ana Lucia deserved to be present during this special family moment. It's just not fair at all that a lot of people are keeping quiet. Santiago wanted to find out about his past and he was given the chance. Nerina wantes to find out about her kids and she was given the chance as well. Remedios was so nosy and wanted to find out about Soledad's past and she got, so why won't they give Ana Lucia the chance to know about her true origin? This is just wrong, it's just selfish. I hope Maribel tells Ana Lucia to go investigate if she has a twin and from there she gets to find out the whole truth.
I'm getting a hoot our of Viri who keeps putting all these jealous twits in their place regarding Mariano. She was strutting her stuff last night, just hope nothing happens to her. Claws was not a happy camper and well, we know AnaLoon.
Speaking of whom, I got tired of the Marcelo/Rem threatening after awhile, but I LOVED having Santi walk in with Rem and the look of shock on both Facundo and AnaLoon's faces. Replay worthy.
I hope Maribel redeems her past bitchiness to her friend and tells AnaLu what she saw. So we don't yet have the meeting, at least AnaLu would know her sisters are out there. Enough already. I don't want this plot point to wait until the Finale.
Can't determine if Inaki is being a crap brother keeping Ghoul's away from his bro' or he's trying to protect him from the fake leech she is. I keep wanting this guy to be redeemed...let's hope Tadeo's wishes come true and we get that type ending for Inaki.
Tonight should be interesting.
I knew the good side of Marcelo wouldn't allow him to kill Rem. As stupid as she was going there, she brought her brain to that confrontation. She killed him with kindness, and it worked.
Otherwise, having that scene last practically the whole episode was a bit boring. As was the fizzled out end of the Ram Mariano confrontation. Can't believe Ram let Mariano get away with his double talk and hypocrisy. A natural politician, indeed. Well, at least THAT didn't derail the engagement dinner. Something else will instead.
Way to go, Maribel. She told AnaLu about her double, took her there, came up with a Parent Trap theory (the best theory without having any facts), brought someone trustworthy into her confidence (Javier), and shut out the untrustworthy person (Oily). I look forward to seeing what she and Javier do to investigate.
Also, loved the way Viri handled Claw. But now she has two enemies. Is Mariano really worth all the trouble?
Looking forward to the rest of the engagement dinner.
These mean girls fawning over these men need to see Shania Twain in "That don't Impress Me." NEXT
AnaPeg is about as interesting as an algebra book. When Luciferia..Er Ana Let tapped on her leg she should have pulled it off and beat her with it.
AnaLucia is pretty smart and not nearly as damaged as either of her sisters are. She has just got to start putting two and two together. I don't care if that only gives her three, it is better than 2+2=O.
After Seeing Maribel's amazing epiphany last night I will be watching for our recapper's and commenter's names in the credits. The writers must be reading Caray.
TOA
Marcel showed some real smarts on several scores, including keeping Orlando out of the loop about her suspicions. Her relationship with AnaLu has been touched by so much jealousy but has also had its very sweet moments. I hope that she follows through and is a real friend in this case to our lost hermana.
I love Tadeo and Nerina together. Not sure what will happen with their children but Javier is the keeper of the three (Inaki dominates every scene he's in but not sure whether he will be redeemed or not there being the messy problem of Daniel's death).
The dinner scene was fantastic for the look on AnaLe's face as first Leonor was defended by Ernestina; then Viridian arrived with Mariano; then Santiago comes in an declines to change AND introduces Remedios. How wonderful to see nasty AnaLe out of control! However, I fear that the anvil hanging over the dinner party (agree, Vivi, something will happen) is going to be AnaLau getting cold feet after AnaLe's rotten encounter. Will she decide that she can't leave her psychotic sister? Or will Edmundo bring disaster?
The worst part of the silly encounter between Ramiro and Mariano for me was that they seem to have forgotten that the root of Valentin's interest in AnaLau is his hatred of one or both of them for their relationships with Gina (and whatever else Evaristo has going with Valentin). They can have a drink and make up or whatever, but Valentin is still lurking in the background ready to pounce.
Finally, love seeing Monika Sanchez as Viridiana in this novela. I hadn't seen for a while and she is perfect in this role.
Did I hear this correctly or did Santiago say that he is now able to remember things involving Marcelo? If so, that is progress.
I was hoping that Remedios would talk him into getting checked into the hospital to have the necessary operation. This would also require a session with a shrink. I don't think the brain tumor has anything to do with the split personality issue and unless something spectacular happens within the next handful of episodes he will still be dealing with that after the tumor is out.
Now Santiago and Ramiro will have to protect her from Facundo and Ana MeMeMe and possibly Evaristo.
What I am truly shocked by is Facundo's obsession with killing "Santiago" and his absolute ingratitude to Remedios. He grieved for three years over losing his only child and should be grateful to her for caring for him during what had to be a difficult and complex recovery. Ramiro has said that the Marcelo of now is not the same person who had been his best friend before, and we can see that in some of the black and white flashbacks. Facundo should also be able to see this. Why would Facundo want a sociopathic assassin for a son?
The only answers I can come up with are:
1. ...that he despises his own vulnerability. He went into hermit mode when told of Marcelo's death. He rejected overtures from Leonor, whom he had zealously pursued before. He was almost normal when she brought SantMarc to him. However, instead of being concerned and helpful when he realized his son had this split personality he became obsessed with rescuing the hard half and killing the softer half of it. This is not helping SantMarc at all. Remedios was probably right in her assessment of what he would think if he knew of the brain tumor although that makes no logical sense. It's not like a brain tumor is something you can prevent.
2. ...that he has a hidden agenda the writers haven't shared with us. Something we don't need at this stage of the story.
Good catch, Mati, on the whole Gina thing. Both Mariano and Ramiro are missing that essential fact. Men and their hormones....
I believe that we know that Fecundo has a monetary interest in Leonor, having discovered that she is Ernestina's half-sister. Do I remember that right? I have figured that he wanted Marcelo to remain with AnaLe and in the family for further monetary gain. But there may well be more that we haven't get heard. We still don't know who helped Santiago and staged the false funeral, although I don't suspect Fecundo.
Two dud dads in Fecundo and Edmundo - the true bond between Santiago/Marcelo and Ramiro.
"Mariano and Ramiro are still not done settling business, but are inching towards an eventual bro-hug' made me smile. My favorite among many was "We actually think that with such iron-clad logic, and complete inability to either see fallacies or course correct, he should run for a political office. Why is he wasting such talent in real estate?)". Hear, hear!
So many interesting and absorbing events last night. My absolute favorite was Inaki and Javier...Javier thinking Inaki was prostituting himself and Inaki's reaction was great. Poor Javier. Wait until he learns the truth. I sense though that despite being a murderer (and other titles of ill repute), Inaki will be protective of his brother. daisy, I think that is the sole reason he hasn't told him yet. Although the way identities are being unmasked at an alarming rate (Maribel being the latest), this could come at any time.
Facundo is cringe worthy. However, he was rivaled by Ana Let's despicable act "Then she wished her luck and actually knocked on the leg with her fist!! You could hear it!!". Yes, that was horrifying Jarifa!
Vivi, I do not see any charm in Mariano. Whatsoever. IMHO, he is not worth anything. He and Ana are two peas in a pod and the fact he might have a shred of conscience while she does not does not absolve him of guilt.
Welcome to the family Viri! Ack...
Ria, this was wonderful. Thank you!

Not to mention, when someone says they have to talk to you, and then there's a car ride, you could talk DURING THE RIDE!! But would that would spoil the fun of Marcelo showing up? No, he could have hidden under a blanket in the back seat, and then popped up at the right moment. That would have been awesome.
The Mariano/Ramiro scene was bizarre. First the bitter argument and then the kind words and the drinks. I don't understand TN men at all.
Vivi: "Is Mariano really worth all the trouble?" Heh, I don't think so. Viridiana should check out some other TN for a better novio.
I like that Maribel thought of a possible twin scenario. Soledad, for all of her lies, was rather careless not to make up a more solid backstory for herself. People wouldn't be speculating about her past and her husband if she'd been just a tiny bit forthcoming. And it's not as though she doesn't know how to lie. (She used to, anyway. She's been really lousy at it lately.)
Everyone who's anyone has warned Soledad that it's inevitable that AnaLu will find out eventually, and has advised Soledad to be the one to break the news because AnaLu will be even more unhappy with her if she hears it from someone else. This is just common sense, and it's been unanimous. I get that Soledad is afraid, but why isn't she even more afraid of the alternative? It's not as if she'd have to do it alone if she's afraid to. I'm sure Rem and/or Nerina would help her with The Talk.
TOA: "When Luciferia..Er Ana Let tapped on her leg she should have pulled it off and beat her with it." I hate to admit it, but I thought the same thing. I wish Ana Laura would find her inner badass ninja.
The ending, with Facundo gaping at Remedios, was priceless. I cannot wait to see tonight.
Traveling Lady! Good to see you again. :-)
Last night I got a few laughs with the scene between Viri and Claw. Viri used the word “depechada” with Claw which means spiteful. Yep, she sure has Claw pegged correctly and Claw started to look somewhat unhinged as Viri effectively had her number.
My other favorite scene was with Maribel and Javier sitting together while Maribel was telling him about seeing Ana Lu’s “twin” and describing that maybe there was a divorce and one twin went with the father and the other went with the mother (like in the Parent Trap). Then Oily approaches them and Maribel says something like, “Let’s go somewhere else, I get sick/disgusted when there are cockroaches around.” (Los cucarachas me dan asco.”)
And that leg knock by AnaLoon to her sister--that look by Llora when she did should have been followed quickly by a good slap to the face. Dear lord, you do anything for this girl, having her grow a spine to tell off these manipulators and con artists.
I can see Facundo trying to finish the job killing Rem. It was priceless seeing the look on his and AnaLet's faces when she was introduced.
No wonder Ana Llora has such low self esteem, her primary care giver, Leonor, refuses to speak up for herself and would rather be the help than take her rightful place next to her sister.
I don't really believe the Viri/Mari relationship but I love listening to her take down AnaLet and Claw.
I think Inaki was trying to shield his brother from Ghoulieta. She is an awful piece of work, and he falls not too far from the tree himself, but he knows Javi is different. Ghoulieta doesn't deserve sweet Javi and Maribel doesn't either.
Speaking of Maribel, YEAH for doing what most people would do and dragging AnaLucia over to the shop. The fact that Lucia didn't take her more seriously, after all the mistaken identities, leaves me to believe she has fallen from her ropes and hit her head one too many times. I love though that Maribel is putting the pieces together. If AnaLu had thought about it seriously she would have too. As someone else stated, the original had AnaLu finding her family in the last episode. Right now we seem to be going that direction, which sucks.
I love Nerina and Tadeo together!
One last, I hope AnaLet doesn't ruin tonight for AnaLlora but I'm sure she'll find a way to be the center of attention.
BTW, she is looking ghoulish or maybe I'm remembering the great makeup job they did on her in YNCELH.
Facundo is not poor, so I don't get it. We haven't gotten any evidence yet that he has anything to do with Ratmundo's scams, but if that comes to light I'm willing to bet that Marcelo knew nothing about it. Him marrying Ana MeMeMe might have been the gateway to that world, but bringing Ana Lucia back into the fold wouldn't change anything. If SantMarc does end up with Ana Lucia at the end, isn't that still a win?
Of course, Facundo doesn't know that Ana MeMeMe is a killer. I doubt Marcelo shared that with him.
I don't get his interest in Leonor. He obviously thinks it's a good match because she's rightfully a Rivadineira heir, and therefor the right class for him. But he's not wanting for money himself.

I’m so disappointed Ramiro didn’t punch out Mariano.
If Mariano is to find redemption, he's got to do something deep and sacrificial, but he's still covering -- trying to find out who ratted him out about Gina. And I bet he didn't tell Viri he put a gun to Gina's head. I don't think he killed Gina, but that was a pretty low thing to do to someone who'd given him so many hot, frisky moments.
Don't know why Viri is so trusting of Mariano, but then she hasn't slept with him yet so maybe she's still just testing the waters. Anyhoo, she looked smashing last night. I liked both her dresses. Not a lot of skin showing like AnaLe, but chic.
Kudos to Maribel for keeping her yap shut around Oily. There's hope for her yet.
So true, so true Ria. And you got off a multitude of zingers in this one. "...studying the Art of War", the theory about the car ride and then this terrific line:
...a standoff of a woman, a man and a tumor
Yessss...that was a verrry loooong scene. And a boatload of noble, maternal treacle gushing all over the place. Okay...we get it. Remedios is our iconic figure of self-sacrificial maternal love, just a short step down from la Virgincita. And of course Love conquers Evil.
Fine.
Anyway, other than wincing over AnaLeticia's cruelty to Ana Laura (nasty girl just can't bear her lame sibling being happy one single micro-second) this was an enjoyable episode. Vridiana continues to have incredible self-confidence and an I Am Woman Swagger. Fun to watch.
And Okay...admit that Mariano is tawdry goods. But man! those blue eyes. They still get me. Never been good at picking men. So go for it Vridiana!
It could be cleansing for her and Ana to switch jobs for a while.

And I KNOW AnaLet couldn't do Leonor's job. That is, she wouldn't. Not unless there were some sort of incentive, like the kind in a videogame - "you must scrub every tile of this floor in order to unlock the door, while the room gradually fills with poisonous spiders."
Rem is the last of the "three amigos" from the pension to meet AnaLet. Now that she knows what kind of awful person AnaLet I, I hope she will put pressure on Santi to bring AnaLu into the fold-whether Soledad likes it or not.
I also hope she puts pressure on Santi to have that Tumor removed...
Anon 2:49 - couldn't agree more. Everybody seems to be finding out truth about themselves and Ana Lucia as well, while she will probably find out by Ana Le pointing Marcelo's gun at her head. With any luck, Maribel and Javier will play helpful detectives again, as in the case of finding out Santi's whereabouts in the hospital, and maybe, just maybe help shed some light on this for Ana Lu.
Daisynjay, I was debating the same thing about Inaki and not telling Javier the truth. I settled on the fact that he surely realizes that Javier will be all about getting to know lost mother, and so Julietta will have a son she doesn't need to pay, so Inaki's river of gold will dry out. Perhaps he will surprise us though with some fraternal protective instinct...
TOA, yes, not much of a choice between Santi and Marcelo, is there?
Hi Traveling Lady and welcome! I see you are a long time commenter, but you are new to me, and I am excited to see you. Hope you come often! And I enjoyed the dinner scene immensely as well and looking forward to tonight. I wonder also if Edmundo is going to show up at all? My money is on him snubbing the party.
Urban - two very good points! Everyone seems to have forgotten about the giant, growing, about-to-kill-him-any-minute tumor! Are they leading up to a dramatic scene of Marcelo collapsing, being rushed to the hospital to get the tumor extracted and subsequent wait on pins and needles - which one would emerge, Santiago or Marcelo.
And also - I was thinking the same thing about Facundo. How can any person not feel gratitude when someone helped their loved one when they were in danger and in need? Why try to kill Santiago? Why not provide him with your support and help him reconcile with Marcelo and remember in peace and calm? I am inclined to agree with your second theory and Facundo having a hidden agenda. Can he, too, be after that deposit box?
Julie - LOL: "Viridiana should check out some other TN for a better novio." ITA and am still laughing having read that!!
Cynthia, I loved how Viri handled that scene. Clawdia, used to Mariano's young immature girlfriends, was clearly surprised.
Aww Marcelo/Santiago I hope they don't take till the last week to get rid of that tumor, there are some interesting ways they could take that story if they wanted too
Niecie, Ramiro/Mariano scene was so disappointing! I don't get how Ramiro went from livid to excited for having Mariano in his life. We are of course going towards rehabilitating our dashing blue-eyed Tio, but all the same Ramiro had all the right and reasons to be angry.
JudyB, oh yes - the love conquers evil angle and Rem's willingness to self-sacrifice bringing Santi back. I was hoping for a more original material here, but instead we got Marcelo with eyes rolling way to the back as Santi was trying to take control. Eerie to watch too. Unlike Viridiana - she, as you so rightly pointed out, is amazing to watch!
Virginia, from your mouth and to the writers' ears! :)
I am way behind reading the recaps and comments because I am wstching 3 novelas. I am watching 3xAna, El color/Pasion and "AQNMD"
I record AQNMD and then watch all 3 back to back.
I love all of them!
I hope Ana Laura finds out the big lie Analet told her abuela that she caused the accident. She tried, but Abuela and Tio shushed her up, still believing that lie but not telling ALaura, how unfair!
Yes, that part killed me when she knocked on her sister's leg. Then she smiles sweetly. Ugggghhhh
I think she's ready to get another b---tch-slap!
Well, Ram been promising ALaura forever that he will have her sister there until the wedding. Just dragging it out. I know he and Santi were waiting for right moment. So thats what Ram will get, someone else is now doing that and getting all the glory. What a shame! Que tonto. (Imho). i just wanted him to do it.
Oh well, maybe that is the plan to keep the tn interesting.
