Mi Marido Tiene Familia #64, 11/21/2017: A Torn Photo Breaks the Silence
Previously:
At Ana’s house, Ana stands beside Tulio as he tells RobPablo that he has made
it clear to Eugenio that he wants a payment plan for the money he owes
them…instead of wasting time crying about it. As Robert stands with his hands
on Eugenio’s shoulders, Eugenio retorts that every time he thought of them, he
would feel sorry for them because he knew they were both very miserable…but
they deserve it. Robert tells Eugenio they should leave; and as they walk away,
Ana turns to Tulio and looks disconcertedly at him.
As they drive home,
Robert tells Eugenio he shouldn’t have put himself out like that; Tulio will
try to get back at him. Eugenio knows, but he couldn’t just let things go; he
was very angry…and desperate; he had to tell Tulio to his face, and he said it.
He couldn’t stand the hypocrisy; they were even invited into his home. At least
now they know that he doesn’t like them at all. Robert then asks Eugenio to
swear that he won’t say anything to his mother or grandmother and that he is
going to take care of himself. Eugenio hesitates, but swears and thanks Robert
for not saying anything in front of his mother. When he then asks Robert what
they will do about his illness, Robert replies that he is obligated to tell him
that the osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease. He has to take care of
himself and follow the medical instructions to the letter.
Later in his bedroom,
Eugenio is in bed as Blanca is fixing his pillows and fussing that he didn’t
tell them where he was going. She asks him if he really feels alright, so he
reassures her that he does; he’s just a little tired. After he quickly thinks
of an excuse, he tells her and Imelda that he just went to church to pray for a
while. Imelda comments that everyone is going to end up sick because of that
debt owed to Tulio. As Eugenio replies that she shouldn’t think about that…they
will move forward, he gets a pain and moans, so Imelda points out that it is
very easy to say, but he needs to just look at himself to know that she is
right. As Blanca tells them she is going to go talk to RobPablo, Eugenio complains
that she shouldn’t, but Blanca insists that she must talk to the orthopedist to
find out exactly what is going on with him. Eugenio, although in pain,
continues to tell her not to talk to anyone; all he has to do is work a bit
less. The important thing is that they need to get things organized to see how they
are going to repay Tulio. He tries to sit up, but the pain won’t let him, so
Blanca reminds him that RobPablo told him he had to rest. If he doesn’t do it
on his own, she will tie him to the bed. Eugenio concedes, but wants to look at
the figures there in bed.
At the market, Polita sells
that baby items. Meanwhile, Tulio meets with Audifaz to offer him a job as his
personal assistant; there are many other things that he can do for him too.
Audifaz replies that a job would help him; they are in need right now. Tulio
agrees since Audifaz has always lived from day-to-day and now with another
child on the way, it will be worse. After Audifaz agrees and thanks him, Tulio
advises Audifaz that there will need to be some changes. If he wants to work with
him, he needs to give up that adolescent look, cut his hair, change the way he
dresses, and improve his manner of speaking because he is hard to understand.
He further criticizes that he looks like a cross between a rocker and a clown;
he looks ridiculous. When Audifaz tells him that’s enough; there is no need to
offend him further, Tulio tells him he is only doing it for his own good…so he
can mature. Tulio understands that he does it to look young alongside his wife,
but there is nothing more ridiculous than a man who does not accept his age.
At the Córsega’s, Imelda
reproaches Ana saying that she has treated her as a daughter. Imelda knows she
was wrong in telling Tulio to leave her, but afterwards, she gave her all her
love. When Ana addresses her as “mama suegra,” Imelda demands that she not call
her that. Imelda criticizes that Tulio has forgotten he has a mother…she
wonders at what moment a son can forget his mother and come to hate her. When
Ana comments that Tulio has also suffered a lot, Imelda retorts that now he
dedicates himself to humiliate them. Imelda asks Ana for the total of what she
owes her. As she reaches in her bag, Imelda tries to grab for the paper, but Ana
drops her purse and several items spill out. As Ana picks everything up, Imelda
tells her she doesn’t understand why they want to hurt them so. Imelda gets
anxious and grabs the paper with the amount, so Ana rushes to pick up the rest
of the things, but misses a small picture. She tells Imelda that she won’t
bother her anymore and walks out.
In the hallway, Ana bumps
into Linda who wonders what her game is and asks if she is going back to
playing the perfect nanny, but Ana retorts that she shouldn’t mess with her, it
will not be to her advantage. After Ana walks away, Linda continues on to open
her door, but stops when she sees Bruno leaving Juls’s apartment. She wonders
what he is doing there. She thinks he’s there to see her, but Bruno assures her
he is not. When she tells him she lives there, Bruno shares that he will be
living with Juls, but Linda wonders why. Meanwhile inside, Imelda cries and
breathes heavily as she looks at the figures of her debt. As she is about to
get up from the couch, she sees the picture Ana left behind and picks it up.
When she sees it’s a picture of Juan Pablo as a child, she kisses it and
continues to cry. Outside in the hallway, Bruno explains that it was his
sister’s great idea that he live there, but Linda thinks it Juls’s scheme to bother
her. When he asks if it bothers her that he live there, she asks how he expects
her not to be upset…he hates her, he stood her up, and she waited for him for
hours; she thinks she has paid enough for what she did to Corny. When she tells
him she hasn’t been with any other guy and she will not tolerate any more of
his rudeness, she leaves him standing there not knowing what to say.
At Belén’s shop, Hugo
confides in Belén that Amalia is acting somewhat strange and he feels
uncomfortable. Belén hesitates before asking Hugo to try to understand Amalia
who suffers from a princess syndrome—she thinks she is still a child who is
still in a fairy tale of forever after. Hugo now understands why Amalia dresses
as she does. When Hugo gets thoughtful and Belén asks if something is wrong,
Hugo shares that he might have the same thing. Everyone in his home tells him
he needs to change and stop being a child.
At Juls’s apartment, Juls
has just arrived when Imelda comes to visit. Imelda sits down and asks Julieta
to recall when RobPablo lost his wallet and Ana found it; though a picture of
Juan Pablo as a child was missing from the wallet. When Juls remembers the
incident, Imelda gives her the photo Ana dropped and Juls confirms that was the
photo RobPablo lost, but it is torn. Imelda then shares that the photo was
already like that; and it was in Ana’s purse, but she dropped it without
realizing it. Imelda wonders what Ana was doing with that photo…why would she
have taken it and torn it…what is Ana hiding?
At the orphanage,
RobPablo meets with Dave and tells him they will be going to lunch with Juls.
After Dave agrees, he asks RobPablo how long he will have to stay there, but
RobPablo doesn’t know…until a family adopts him. Dave worries because the other
kids have told him that no one adopts children like him…and they tell him
things. When RobPablo asks who says such things, Dave replies they tell him
that he is ugly; so RobPablo reminds him of the phrase he taught him: “He is
more than his burns.” Dave then asks why RobPablo doesn’t take him to look for
his mother. RobPablo doesn’t know how to respond, so he just hugs Dave.
At a botanical garden, Marisol
and Dani walk together as Mari shares her plans for Xavi. Dani thinks her ideas
sound good; so Mari asks if Dani’s boss/boyfriend would support her and allow
her to use his restaurant. Dani agrees to call Gabriel, but she worries that
Mari is getting into something that she knows nothing about. Mari asks Dani not
to say that; she is so enthusiastic and it makes her happy to think that she
can make something of herself and be successful. She has done well as a fashion
consultant. When Dani wonders about fashion and brings up that there will be a
party at which she will be meeting Gabriel’s family, Mari realizes that Dani is
asking for something to wear and tells Dani she has many pretty clothes that
might work. Dani then wonders if they could go to Juls’s office and Mari thinks
that is a good idea since Juls has helped them so much. Dani, however, is extremely
nervous about meeting Gabriel’s family; she is afraid they will not accept her.
Mari thinks the family is very educated and that will not happen. Mari then
comments that she would like to formally meet her brother-in-law, so Dani calls
Gabriel.
At a restaurant, as Dave
hides behind RobPablo, Juls wonders where RobPablo’s extremely important friend
is. RobPablo explains that his friend is a superhero and had to go rescue some
people; so he will be a little late. Juls then pretends to be disappointed
because she was so looking forward to meeting him. When she recalls his name is
Dave, RobPablo corrects her and says it’s “Super Dave;” and he is very
intelligent. RobPablo then feels the presence of a being with super powers and
so does Juls…RobPablo is “surprised” to find Super Dave right behind him...he
has arrived! After Juls reintroduces herself, she asks Dave if he knows he has
such precious eyes. She is very happy to see him again. RobPablo talks about
him all the time; and he is very important to RobPablo. When Dave replies that
he didn’t think he was important to anyone, RobPablo tells him he shouldn’t say
that; and they sit down to eat, but Dave has to go to the bathroom. While he is
gone, Juls shares that she is worried and thinks Imelda suspects something
because she found out that Ana had the childhood photo that he had lost.
RobPablo just shakes his head.
At the botanical garden,
Dani introduces Mari to Gabriel, her boss. Mari assumes he is very busy since
he is Dani’s boss, but, as he looks at Dani, Gabriel does not appreciate being
referred to as Dani’s “boss.” After Dani reminds him that he wanted to keep
things formal, he points out that they are not at the office; so Dani presents
him as her…boyfriend. Gabriel thinks it sounded beautiful…she has taken the
first step! He then tells Mari that from that day forward, he will be her
brother-in-law and any requests she makes will be favorably granted. When Mari
tells him he is very nice, he asks her to tell that to the hard-headed lady
because she doesn’t want to believe it. Mari then thinks they make a marvelous
couple; though Dani hopes his family thinks the same.
At the bakery, Blanca
scolds Eugenio for being out of bed, but Eugenio wonders why she is spying on
him. She then turns to Xavi and scolds him for playing his piano and singing up
on the roof. Xavi just wants to be useful and help them. Eugenio then tells
Blanca he has to go to the bank to see about a loan…and he will take a taxi.
After Eugenio tells Blanca that Xavi will be in charge, Blanca thinks he should
prepare to throw away all the burnt bread. She then suggests Xavi go sing with
the church choir; he might make some money there. Eugenio gets her away by
suggesting she go with him to the bank; she can be his pretty human cane.
At the restaurant, Dave
is outside as Juls worries that he is taking too long; so RobPablo goes to look
for him. As RobPablo looks inside the restroom, Dave runs off.
Imelda goes to Ana’s
house to ask why she stole Juan Pablo’s picture and why she tore it. Ana sits down
not knowing what to say.
At the restaurant, Juls and
RobPablo run out looking for Dave. When Juls asks where he could have possibly
gone, RobPablo thinks he may have gone to look for his mother, so they go get
car.
At Ana’s house, Ana tells
Imelda that she has avoided this moment that she can’t believe has arrived.
When Imelda demands that she make herself clear, Ana admits that she found the
photo in RobPablo’s wallet; and that day she knew it was him. Imelda wonders
why she kept quiet knowing that they were on the verge of leaving for the USA.
Ana cries that she was so afraid that they would find out he was Juan Pablo and
that he remember what she did. When Imelda asks why she kept the photo, Ana
replies that she wanted to remember every day what she had done. Imelda stands
up and asks, “What did you do?” Ana then confesses, “I was the one that
separated him from you. I abandoned him!” Imelda shakes her head and walks
away. When Ana tries to hold her by her shoulder, Imelda shrugs Ana’s hand off.
Ana then tells Imelda that she has been like a mother to her and asks for
forgiveness. Ana has been clinging to her life because she knew Imelda would
hate her…that’s why she wanted to be of service to her and give her all the
gifts she could. She pleads with Imelda to say something…anything; continuing
to live has been her worst punishment…she swears. She doesn’t want to lose
Imelda’s love. When Imelda finally speaks, she asks if Tulio knew; so Ana nods
and explains that she recently found out that he knew since the very first
moment. Imelda is dismayed that he did nothing. Ana justifies that Imelda
rejected her; so Tulio had to choose between his mother and the woman he loved.
She then steps closer to Imelda and accuses her of been partly to blame for all
this. As she tries to reach out for Imelda, Imelda slaps her hand away and
tells her not to touch her. She did what she did without knowing what Imelda
had told Tulio. She did it because of the envy she carried in her soul…she did
it to be evil. She has no excuse. Imelda admits that she will pay for her
responsibility in this, but nothing justifies what Ana did. As Imelda walks
away, Ana hopes that she will forgive her someday, but Imelda responds that
only God can forgive her. When she asks who else knows about this, Ana tells
her that RobPablo, Juls, and Eugenio know, but kept quiet for fear that telling
her would kill her or Blanca. After Imelda comments that she is already dead while
she lives, she slowly walks away as Ana watches her.
In their car, RobPablo
tells Juls that he hopes Dave went to look for his mother at their house. Juls
suggests that if he isn’t there, they should call the police. When RobPablo
tells her that if they don’t find him, he will never forgive himself, Juls
tries to reassure him that they will find him.
As they continue their
walk in the botanical garden, Mari tells Dani she will look for something for
her to wear so she can meet with Gabriel’s family. Dani wants something that
she will be comfortable with, but Mari advises her that she needs to look
prettier. Dani still isn’t sure she wants to go; she is very happy with
Gabriel, but panics when she thinks about meeting all the family Mussi…the
sister is a witch, she can just imagine how the rest are. Mari tells Dani not
to give herself ideas; everyone likes her. Dani still worries that they are not
expecting a carpenter/waitress. Mari encourages her by telling that both are
honorable jobs; though what matters is that she is a good woman…honorable and
hard-working…a little strange, but nice. After Dani is convinced, she still has
one more thing to do…tell her parents that she has a boyfriend.
As Eugenio and Blanca
walk along the sidewalk, he stops her because he wants to tell her something.
He doesn’t know how to start…for many years, he blamed her for losing Juan
Pablo. Blanca doesn’t want to talk about that, but Eugenio insists that it is
important to let go of the past before they can continue with the future. He
asks her to forgive him; if he blamed her or accused her…today he is sure that
she had nothing to do with the loss of their son. As Blanca cries, she thanks
him for acknowledging it. As he kisses her hands, he asks if she will forgive
him; and Blanca cries that, of course, she will forgive him. She hugs him
tightly and cries that she forgives him with all her heart; Eugenio thanks her
and cries that he could not take it anymore.
At Audifaz’s home, Aris
enters as Polita tells Audifaz that the sale of the baby items went very well.
This pleases Audifaz because the money will help them out. Polita worries what
they will say if Juls asks about the items since they only kept the crib, but
Audifaz tells her not to worry since the baby isn’t due for quite some time and
Juls will not notice that she sold the gifts. Aris gets upset…he can’t believe
they sold what was given to the baby and dashes off to his room. Polita worries
that they messed up; so she pulls Audifaz with her so they can go talk to Aris.
As Imelda enters her home
crying, Linda happily greets her because she is hungry, but doesn’t know how to
prepare anything. When she notices that Imelda is crying, she wonders if
something bad happened. Imelda nods and tells her, “Many errors, my child. Unimaginable
deceptions…faults and more faults!” When Linda asks what she is talking about,
Imelda cries that she can’t think; she needs to lock herself in and be alone.
Linda offers to make her some tea, but Imelda refuses it. Linda insists that
she talk to her, but Imelda can’t…she just can’t.
In Aris’s bedroom, Polita
doesn’t want him thinking badly of them, but Aris demands to know what is going
to happen when the baby is born…is it going to be like them? They are the worst
example. Audifaz and Polita explain that they are only trying to survive…those
things were very expensive. Aris wonders if they are going to lie to RobPablo
and Juls, Polita replies that they will tell them the truth if that is what he
wants. Still upset, Aris tells them to leave him alone, so Polita starts
leaving and pulls Audifaz out with her. Once alone, Aris knows that he is just
as much a liar as his parents…or worse.
Imelda enters her room
still crying. Looking at a hanging crucifix, she thinks about Ana telling her
she abandoned Juan Pablo, how she admitted to Tulio that she made a mistake in
telling him to look for another woman, and how she insisted that she would make
sure RobPablo and Juls had children. She shakes her head and cries as she
mumbles, “Forgive m.” Meanwhile Linda stands by Imelda’s door and worries.
Gabriel is in his
apartment as Clarissa calls to ask about all of his girlfriend’s preferences so
she make sure that he menu is “Ok or not.” When he tells her just to go with
traditional Mexican food, she tells him to make sure he tells her the event
will be formal and will be covered by the media. His girlfriend will have the
privilege of being included in the social reports. She then asks for the name
of the fortunate one, so Gabriel replies, “Dani,” which Clarissa thinks is
sweet as a strawberry since they will be “Gabo and Dani.” She reminds him to be
on time and dress formally…she can’t wait for her birthday surprise. Gabriel
mumbles that it will surely be a surprise.
Dani and Mari enter their
bedroom with all their purchases. When Linda wonders why all the bags, Mari
tells her Dani will be meeting her in-laws that day. Linda is excited and
thinks Dani will need to look spectacular. When Dani replies that she doesn’t
want to stop being herself, Linda comments that she won’t stop being herself
just because of a little make-up. Linda will help her with the make-up; so Dani
asks that they help her with her too. Linda then tells them about Imelda acting
strange and being so upset. Dani wants to go see her since she thinks it has to
do with Ana and Tulio, but Linda warns her that Imelda wants to be alone. Mari
thinks they should give her some space; and Linda agrees that they should let
her rest while they help Dani select what she will wear.
At Belén’s store, Belén
informs Amalia that she and Aurelio will be getting back together. Amalia
thinks she’s crazy; if she wants a man she should go look for someone else.
Belén reminds Amalia that she know how she never stopped loving Aurelio; he is
the love of her life. Amalia points out that he was the love that cheated on
her; Amalia can’t tolerate him and will never forgive him. That’s exactly why
Belén wants to talk to her…Aurelio will be living with her in her home. Amalia
is shocked and thinks Belén is telling her she will have to leave; Belén only
shakes her head and says, “No.”
Somewhere in Dave’s old
neighborhood, Dave spots RobPablo and Juls and starts to run away, but RobPablo
runs to catch up with him and tells him not to leave. They were very worried
about him; something bad could have happened to him. When RobPablo asks him why
he ran away if they are friends, Dave replies that he doesn’t want to go back
to the orphanage. RobPablo reiterates that he is his friend and will always be
looking out for him. Having adoptive parents is not bad; he will have a family
that will give him lots of love. Dave understands, but all he wants is for his
mother to return, to come for him, and that she not leave him alone. Robert picks
up Dave hugging him and telling him he loves him very much.
At the Córsega’s. Imelda
is still in her room when Aris comes by and knocks until she lets him in. When
she see he is upset and asks what’s wrong, Aris reminds her that once she told
him she was her friend and he could confide in her. Imelda remembers. Aris
tells her that she is the only one he can tell…he lied to/tricked his parents.
At the orphanage, Juls
and RobPablo are on their way out after leaving Dave when Dave comes running to
RobPablo grabbing his leg and telling him not to leave him there…he will
behave. RobPablo kneels to hug him and assure him he will be ok; nothing bad
will happen to him there, but Dave is still scared. Juls then squats beside
RobPablo and holds Dave telling him, “Don’t be scared; nothing bad will happen
to you here. You will be fine.” When Dave asks, “Why doesn’t my mother love me?
Was it my fault she left?” Juls replies, “No, you are not to blame for
anything. You are an angel.” Dave still wants to know why his mother left him,
so Juls tells him, “I don’t know, but like Robert told you, you are not alone.
You have him…and now you have me.” She sits on the bench and promises that she
will come visit him, take him out for rides, and buy him his favorite toy.
Robert and she will always be there for him. When she asks him if he believes
her, Dave says, “Yes,” so Juls gives him a kiss and a big smile. The director
then comes by and tells them Dave has to go for a snack. As Dave is taken away,
Juls wonders why life is so unjust; RobPablo doesn’t know…he just can’t
understand it, but he is going to make sure Dave has a home soon. He promises
they will help Dave. When RobPablo assures Juls that Dave will be fine, Juls
wonders why his mother had to abandon him. Rob then explains that Tavo
suggested maybe the best thing Dave’s mother could have done was to leave
him…maybe she would have despised him because of his burns. Rob is sure that
destiny has something very special prepared for Dave. Juls hopes so, then
realizes that all this is affecting Rob because of what he lived through as a
child, but Rob knows Juls is being affected also because of what just happened
to them. Juls acknowledges that it does and remembers that she hasn’t told him
everything that happened with her father. She thought she would end up
reproaching him, fighting but talking to him opened her eyes. Her father explained
that he would fight with her mother a lot because of the endless arguments
between Cat and her in-laws. Juls doesn’t want to repeat the same mistakes.
In Imelda’s bedroom, Aris
confides that he just wanted his parents to be proud of him, but everything is
a lie. If he confesses to everything, they will hate him…and they may run him
off the school, but if he doesn’t tell, he won’t be able to sleep. Imelda
advises that the solution is honesty…and to accept the consequences. Telling
the truth will bring him peace; and she will admire him for it. She also warns
him that sooner or later he will be found out and asks him if he will tell the
truth. Aris remains silent.
At the Mussi mansion, Cassandra
and Clarissa supervise as the helpers and waiters decorate for the party and
show them plates of food. Meanwhile, at the Córsega’s, Mari and Linda push Dani into the
kitchen. Linda asks Blanca to make Dani allow them to dress her up, but Eugenio
and Blanca wonder why Dani needs to dress up. After some urging, Dani blurts
out that she has a boyfriend. Both Eugenio and Blanc shout, “What?” (but with
different intonations). Blanca never thought this day would come, so she hugs
Dani and admires her promise ring. Blanca guesses it’s Gabrielito, but Eugenio
questions, “Gabrielito? The one who calls you ‘oso’?” Dani confirms it is
Gabriel and clarifies the ring is not an engagement ring; it is a promise ring.
When Eugenio doesn’t accept, Linda tells him not to be jealous; Gabriel is a
great catch. Blanca asks him not to be bitter; his daughter deserves to be
happy. Eugenio certainly knows that Dani deserves it, he just wants her to take
it slow; Dani agrees. Blanca then wants to know why she has to get dressed up,
so Linda tells her Gabriel will be introducing Dani to his family.
At the Mussi mansion,
Clarissa wonders what Gabriel’s girlfriend is like and Cassandra thinks she is
probably a French model that only eats one leaf of lettuce per day. They squeal
and Clarissa just hopes she meets the three “Gs”: guapa/pretty, genial/great
and glamorosa/glamorous. Cassandra agrees; they can’t just mix with whoever…she
needs to have a family that is “muy” nice.
At the Córsega kitchen,
Blanca thinks Dani will need to look beautiful. Blanca doesn’t know much about
fashion, but would like to help. Dani appreciates it, but she doesn’t want them
hanging her off of lamps (not making a display of her?) Eugenio agrees, his
daughter is simple; and they should know her as such. Blanca just wants Dani to
consider their advice; Gabriel is a great young man, but Eugenio insists that
Dani should be accepted for who she is. Linda thinks that men are the only ones
that can get away with being “natural’ and gives examples of how women enhance
themselves with make-up. Eugenio suggests that Dani go as she wants…and if she
doesn’t go, even better. Blanca tells Eugenio to go rest; they still need to
share the good news with Imelda. Eugenio announces that he also needs to go
tell Imelda that their loan was denied. Linda doesn’t think this is the moment
to tell her that; Imelda arrived very depressed after going out and doesn’t
want to see anyone.
At Juls’s apartment, Juls
is cooking as Bruno comes and announces that he is finished organizing and
cleaning his room. When Juls makes a snide comment, Bruno thinks that this
arrangement could be a nightmare or they can try to get along. He suggests they
make peace. Bruno knows she doesn’t believe him, but he wants to take advantage
of this opportunity; he is tired of not doing anything with his life…at least
he started with his room. Juls agrees to believe in him again, but it’ll be the
last time. Bruno promises to change. He then asks about his father; he is curious
even though he doesn’t even remember his face. Juls responds that he was very
little when their father left; and their mother removed all his pictures from
the house. When Juls asks if he would like to see him…or talk to him, Bruno
shrugs and isn’t sure. He wondered about his father as a child, but he doesn’t
know if he wants to meet a man who never sought them or worried about them.
Juls thinks it would be good if he talked to their father. They all need to
heal from that part of their lives. Juls can call him and invite him to dinner.
After Bruno agrees, Juls calls her father who is never too busy for her. When
she invites him to dinner for that night because there are some persons who
want to talk to him, he guesses she is talking about her brothers and quickly
agrees to go. He would like very much to see them and talk to them…and make
peace. Juls can’t promise him anything, but they will wait for him there. He
thanks Juls for the opportunity.

Thank you, Steve :-) So much has been happening lately...and everything adds so much to each storyline.
Ana finally got to the point where she just couldn't keep her secret...and she expected Imelda to be understanding and forgiving. Did she really think that would happen? I suppose a person like her who expects everyone to bow to her would expect forgiveness.
Looks like Julieta is getting close to Dave...I'm so glad!)

RgvChick, thank you so much, you got it all! Truly outstanding.
Yes, it was very strange for Ana to expect to be forgiven by Imelda for such a heinous act at all. It seems that since Juan Pablo was adopted and raised by such a good family and has turned out to be healthy and successful, that Ana fails to comprehend the utter seriousness of what she did. Thirty four years having passed does not make it a lesser crime or hurt the victims less. “All’s well that ends well” doesn’t work with child abduction: only a trial and a jail sentence or placement in a mental hospital does.
The scene with Dave were very sweet. I think we know where that plot line is going.
It looks like we have two dinners tonight: one with the Mussi and one with Hugo Sr. Should be fun.
Xavi might be the answer to the family bakery. I could see him there permanently married to Marisol and still pursuing his musical career.
More later.

I'm in awe Rgv Chick. Truly amazing. Every single word.
As wonderful as last night's pivotal episode was, it paled in comparison to your summary.
"she can be his pretty human cane" - so sweet!
As Ana falls further into the fiery pit, Imelda scales her way out. Imelda's accusation to Ana that she "did what she did without knowing what Imelda had told Tulio. She did it because of the envy she carried in her soul…she did it to be evil. She has no excuse". No. She did not. Further, "Imelda admits that she will pay for her responsibility in this, but nothing justifies what Ana did". It is never too late to change is it? What a terrible price was exacted on Imelda but she acknowledged her culpability and seen the error of her past behavior.
Jarifa, I think your "Ana fails to comprehend the utter seriousness of what she did" rings very true. She is solely focused on what the family will think of her, not what she did.
And to Blanca goes a long overdue apology that exacerbated her (undeserving) guilt into the stratosphere. To assuage his own pain, he heaped more on his partner. Another lesson learned.
And the heart wrenching "Dave replies that he didn’t think he was important to anyone". Perhaps the start toward the happy ending Super Dave so deserves.
From despair to joy. "He then tells Mari that from that day forward, he will be her brother-in-law and any requests she makes will be favorably granted".
"Dani, however, is extremely nervous about meeting Gabriel’s family; she is afraid they will not accept her". Hmmm. "Mari thinks the family is very educated and that will not happen". Uh oh. "Cassandra agrees; they can’t just mix with whoever…she needs to have a family that is “muy” nice". Well miracles happen, don't they??
I hated Tulio's condescending attitude toward Audi. His hate was palpable. Also, I really wish Polita had not sold the baby paraphernalia. I don't blame Ari for being upset. I sense a confession coming.
As Steve already noted, you've really outdone yourself Rgv Chick.
Thank you, thank you!

As wonderful as last night's pivotal episode was, it paled in comparison to your summary.
"she can be his pretty human cane" - so sweet!
As Ana falls further into the fiery pit, Imelda scales her way out. Imelda's accusation to Ana that she "did what she did without knowing what Imelda had told Tulio. She did it because of the envy she carried in her soul…she did it to be evil. She has no excuse". No. She did not. Further, "Imelda admits that she will pay for her responsibility in this, but nothing justifies what Ana did". It is never too late to change is it? What a terrible price was exacted on Imelda but she acknowledged her culpability and seen the error of her past behavior.

Thank you, Jarifa and Diana! Writing recaps is fun, but it doesn't beat reading all the commentary with everyone's insight and opinions.
Jarifa, "Ana fails to comprehend the utter seriousness of what she did." The woman has blinders and all she wants to see is people loving and accepting her.
Diana, "She is solely focused on what the family will think of her, not what she did." Exactly!! And, "As Ana falls further into the fiery pit, Imelda scales her way out." Finally Imelda is seeing the impact of her harsh words...I'm so glad she included her demands on Robert and Julieta to have children in her request for forgiveness. Once Imelda changes her attitude, Blanca will sail easily toward her quest for being valued and her freedom to follow her own desires.
"...the start toward the happy ending Super Dave so deserves." I do hope that comes quickly. If Julieta and Robert do adopt him, it will also ensure the happiness they also deserve. Teh only trivial concern, I have is waht will happen to Bruno? Will Julieta let him go back to Cat's house?
Can't wait for the dinners..I wonder if they will have capiturada...better than crow :-)

Superb recap, Rgv Chick! That was a great self-realization on Hugo's part. He is kind of like Amalia. Time for both of them to grow up. Yep, Jarifa. It's so obvious where the Dave story is going. Julieta and Rob need a child, Dave needs parents. Obvio. I thought that Gabe's sisters' slapsticky preparations for the dinner party were hilarious!
Thank you, Span Prof! Yes, Hugo is slowly seeing himself as others (besides Cat) see him. Maybe the fact that he has gotten jobs and interacted with "normal" people has helped him see how childish and spoiled he has been. It would really be good for Diana to have the man she thought she was marrying.
Jarifa, me too!! I think the Mussi dinner is going to be very entertaining...but maybe not so much for Dani :-/ We'll see how Cinderfella handles the "hermanastras."

Thanks, Rgv Chick. Great title, terrific recap.
No question the two "hermanastras" will try to squash Dani, but Gabriel has a third sister, right? Maybe she'll give Dani a chance.
Tulio is chilling in how he thinks the family has to pay for his self-inflicted suffering. He's so strange that I can't even think of a suitable punishment for him. Prison? Bankruptcy? Ana runs off with Julien?
