Por Amar Sin Ley, Season 2 Jueves 6/13/19 Episode 64: You Can't Always Get What You Want


Scenes combined where it made sense to do so.

Mexico City: Juan seemed happy to see Fernanda while Tatiana enjoyed sticking it to her that she had come for the party as in “Weren't you invited?” Juan told Fernanda that she needed no invitation, she was always welcome. He could not persuade her to stay. She was obviously uncomfortable at seeing Tatiana and she left, citing having too many things to do. Susanna gave Tatiana a dirty look before taking a bag to the kitchen, ignoring Tatiana's offer of help.

Fernanda ran from the house, but Juan caught up with her. She told him she had come to see his mother, not him. He saw her tears and wondered whether she missed him but she said she did not. He said he missed her but she asked how could he when he was so happy with her. He said he was not interested in Tatiana, but she said “She's interested in you.” Believe it or not, he did not believe this. [I think the writers have had a little too much mescal.] She told him “Oh, yes, she is,” and left. He went back to the house and Susanna blamed herself for this. Juan could not understand any of it. Tatiana said nothing, but obviously listened to every word.

Los Cabos: Sofia and Ricardo returned to the courthouse with a request for an order for the clinic security tapes. The bitchy receptionist took great pleasure in telling them that this would take a long time. Ricardo pointed out that the order is for a specific date and time span and she said “Maybe tomorrow.” He then said that if she doesn't cooperate she could be charged with obstruction of justice. That seemed to make her snap to it. However, as soon as they left she took out her cell phone to make a call.

Mexico City: Juan looked at the food and how everything was laid out, upset that Fernanda wasn't there. Tatiana tried to cheer him up, saying it was his party and everything would be perfect (or whatever nonsense). Susanna watched and gritted her teeth lest she say something she would regret later. [Excuse the lack of detail here, but this situation is making me sick.]

Juan's colleagues were all leaving the office to come to the party. Except for Javier, who pleaded too much work. Roberto told everyone to go on ahead, as he had to pick up a (female) friend. Victoria noticed that and Adrián noticed that she noticed.

Just as Carlos was about to leave his office Nancy slithered in with something important to tell him. He said he had an appointment and she asked with whom. He gave her his version of the “none of your business” line but she persisted until the words “El Ciego” stopped him in his tracks. She told him about the dead body with the message attached and he realized that this could turn into an all-out war. Further, that someone from the Vega firm is investigating this in the belief that either of these cartels could have had something to do with Alejandra's death. Sooner or later that lawyer will find out something and eventually they would find out that El Ciego had been in the restaurant that night. Despite having tampered with the resyaurant's security videos they didn't know what other evidence there was. He said they could not allow that. She was to look for Javier and somehow find out what he knew. Carlos then kissed her in a manner that could only be described as dominant before he left. She watched him exit. Her expression showed that she knew something had changed, and not for the better.

Los Cabos: Ricardo and Sofia went over what information they had, but she was worried. Unless they had evidence – like the right video footage – this would only be he said-she said and the judge would rule in her favor. Sofia was confident in Ricardo's ability to present a case, but that evidence was necessary as they had no other way to prove that their client and Ana Morales did not have a relationship.

Mexico City: Lorenza handed Fabián some documents he asked for. He begged her to accompany him to court to hear the explanation. She refused. She was willing to talk to the lawyers because she wanted to lay out the terms of the divorce. She was afraid to listen to him because she would end up believing him.

Michelle talked about her trust issues over dinner, then told Carlos she found him interesting from the outset. [This looked like an ad for Match.com.]

Alonso and Lourdes arrived at Juan's party along with some odd artwork as a gift. He took it upstairs as Susanna escorted them into the party. She pointedly ignored Tatiana and did not introduce her to anyone.

Nancy sat at her desk looking at the Vega website. She made a note of Javier's profile, then called him on her cell. When he answered he said to call back in the morning during office hours. She told him she had information about his case. [We have to hope that he's asexual if Nancy is looking to use her deadliest weapons.] She pressed for an in-person meeting and he said he would wait for her at his office. She sent a text and left.

Juan's guests appeared to be having a good time, although Roberto seemed a little put out by his date's fascination with all things de Esapaña. Adrián was telling a group of young women a story about the matador costume his mother bought for him when he was a boy. Tatiana was hanging onto Juan as though she were his girlfriend.

Carlos' phone signaled a message and he saw Nancy's message that she was on her way to the Vega offices. He said it was about work. Michelle started asking about his work and trying to pry information as her brother had been looking for. He gave a general example of getting a dealer out of jail due to a lack of hard evidence. No details. She acted fascinated.

Alonso and Lourdes left the party, thanking their hosts. Lourdes complimented the food, Susanna thanked Alonso for his help with Juan's career and Alonso replied that Juan is very capable and an asset to the firm. Back inside Roberto left his date to make Victoria a drink, which she walked away with. He asked whether Adrián knew how to make her happy. She gave him a questioning look and he asked whether she felt anything for Adrián. She told him it was none of his business. She asked him if he felt anything for his date. He said no, but said he wanted her to tell him the truth. She told him that nothing happened between them to justify his attitude. He said he loved her [querer] and she replied she loved him, but not in the way he was looking for. Further that he had no right to question her about anyone she was involved with especially as he had slept around with half the female population of Mexico. He didn't take that well, saying that it wasn't true. And that she would lament walking away from him. She said nothing, but clearly didn't agree.

Los Cabos: Sofia put her papers in order then called home. Marcela answered and told her that her mother was alright. She was asleep and Sofia told Marcela not to wake her. Marcela said that the medications seem to make Camila fall asleep easily, but that was in the normal range of side effects. Sofia told Marcela to call her if anything happened.

Roberto noticed Victoria laughing at something Adrián said, then suggested to his date they go somewhere else that would ultimately lead to his place. He got her to leave with him, which Victoria noticed. She asked Gustavo if anything was wrong and why did Roberto leave so soon with the plastic surgery model. He told her that Robeto was the same as ever, and it was she who changed. She had never previously paid any attention to whom Roberto was with.

Jaime did get Paula to leave the house with him. They came back and he said that the next day they would do what she wanted.... out of the house.

Tatiana noticed that Juan was less than jovial and guessed the reason. She tried to get him to think about the good things that were happening in his life while coming on to him, which he neither acknowledged nor appeared to recognize. They walked back into the main room and joined a conversation with Victoria and Adrián. Lorena talked to Gustavo and said that she would be happy to help him in his cases. He said he would appreciate that, although he seemed somewhat distracted. He then said he had to leave and asked whether she would like him to drive her home. She accepted.

Nancy sashayed off the elevator at Vega and Javier met her in reception. He directed her to sit and she introduced herself without saying where she worked. She brought up the alleged purpose of her visit, then asked whether he had any information. He stood up and shouted “That is not relevant.” She told him that she was hoping that this would be mutually beneficial. She opened her briefcase and pulled out a notebook, saying she had information to help in a case against El Gringo. Javier said that sooner or later he woul find the connexion and didn't need her help. She told him that El Gringo protects his moves carefully and that they could help each other. He asked why she thought it was El Gringo when they were all investigating the group he's fighting. She said that El Gringo was the big kahuna there and that he and his people were provoking everything in the area. She then told him that if they solve this case she can apply for an enviable position while he can benefit from catching the criminals that have attacked his firm. She wrote down her phone number and left, making sure he had a good view of her Kardashian assets as she entered the elevator. He had been regarding her with suspicion. [Fortunately, he had the good sense not to let her into his office.]

The last of the guests having departed, Juan told his mother the party was a success. Tatiana brushed her hair in front of the big mirror and said she had to go. Juan offered to drive her. She hugged Susanna, who barely tolerated it, and thanked her for letting her help. She then left with Juan, while leaving behind a huge number of dirty serving dishes on the tables. [I hope this place came with a dishwasher.]

Tatiana gushed about the party as she opened the door to her building. She moved in for a kiss and he started pulling back, so she grabbed the back of his head to kiss him. He did not look comfortable with this as he headed back to his car and she looked at predatory as Ana Morales had during her meeting with Ricardo and Sofia.

Roberto arrived at the office the next day and was told that there was a woman waiting in his office for him. She had not given her name.

Los Cabos: Sofia and Ricardo were given the runaround about the court orders from the same bitchy receptionist. Sofia told her she was not doing her job and that this was obstruction of justice.

Roberto entered his office to find Lucia.... his long-estranged mother.

Oh. Em. Gee. Who is playing Lucia?
 

The great Helena Rojo. I hardly recognized her, but recognized the voice!

Thanks, UA Sorry you had to spend an inordinate amount of time on Tatiana. I'm off. Will be back in a couple of weeks, but I'll be keeping an eye on PASL from afar.
 

Awesome! She was great in CQM.
 

Thanks, Urban. Terrific recap.

PASL is picking up. I'm enjoying the new.e storyline. If I got it right, Sofia & Roberto concede that Fabian must pay child support because the kid is his (and he wasn't raped) but no support for the mother because there was no relationship and he was set up. Never seen this one before.

Yay I figured Javier would be immune to Nancy. My guess is even if he sleeps with her he'll make sure the she gets no information because he trusts no one.

Juan, are you now ready to admit Tatiana is trying to get you?

At last more back story on Roberto. All in all a good episode.

Anita, have a great trip,
,
 

Thanks UA. I have forgetting to record this and clearly am missing some interesting story lines. In the meantime, just laughing about your choice of verbs for our dear Nancy....

slithered and

sashayed

Yes indeed, that's our gal. Will try and remember to record tonight. Glad that our stiff-necked Javier was able to resist Nancy's multiple attributes.
 

Thank you for this enlightening recap.

Finally a back story on robby. And its rather juicy.Now is she nicolas' wife?
I'm reading this late. I just saw the
One for tonight. I remember that lady.
I did not like her character in the last tn I saw her in. I hope she's not a scammer in this One. Roberto don't need a tricked out moma at this point In his life.

What's the deal with this Bitchy lady
That Ricky n Sofia keep having to talk to. She acts like she don't like folks
South of the border. I don't like this
Woman. She's nasty. And for no reason.
Does she know that woman thats acusing
Their client of being her baby daddy?
What B-witch she is.

What's with Vicky all of a sudden being all jealous actin n such? Does she or don't she want robby? Looks like He's about to get tired of her
Waiting game. And He's got other Stuff on His mind. Like momma.

Y'all think Jaime and Paula may find their way back to each other? Ale may
Have loved that.Seems death is bringin them back together. Wish it was under
Happier circumstances.

Thank you Urban.

 

Tacky tati is putting her plan together.
Where is her son?And who is his daddy?
Oh jaun, you Steppin it and don't know it. SusyQ better spark up, her baby is about to be tripped up.

Enjoy your trip Anita.
 

I think that the bitchy receptionist is in on the scheme to bilk Fabian. There is no other logical motive for her behavior. Note that when we last saw her she was using her cell phone and not her desk phone. Why else would she do that just after Ricardo and Sofia were just out the door?

I first saw Helena Rojo in El Privilegio de Amar. Brilliant and with class, like a 1940s film star. It's good to see her again.
