La herencia, #47 #48 Tuesday "Santa Catalina under fire"
Pedro tells Tadeo killing is very bad, nobody has to right to take another person’s life. Tadeo starts telling him about what he heard when Sara interrupts with the news that Lucas’ mother is feeling bad and they need to get to the ranch. Bohoo!
Juan and Mateo wonder if Lucas’ mom
wouldn’t have been better in the hospital. Lucas is compatible for a
transplant, but in her state, it would be too little, too late. Mateo asks Juan
how he would react if he saw his mom again. Juan can’t even think about it,
he’d hate to have to deal with her ever again. Mateo thinks they should tell
Simon what is happening, he’ll get upset if he’s not aware.
Amado and Lucas with their dying mom, she
wants to talk to Lucas in private. She is sorry he lost his inheritance because
of her (he doesn’t care), she apologizes for abandoning him, she’s hoped to get
him back for so many years, but there was never enough money. And she knew he
will be OK with this family. Lucas understands her, he has a family who loves
him, but he still needs her, that’s why he wanted to take care of her, too. She
gave him life and for that he thanks her. And for having tried to come back for
him. He would have liked to have had more time with her, always prayed to God
to protect her. And then she dies.
Alone in a bedroom (is it a hotel room?) Dante
is upset Deb was Prospi’s lover. Yeah, but Deb only loves him and she’s been
faithfully waiting for him for years, while he was married; she only slept with
Prospi for the money and soon enough she will get her hands on his company,
too. How come? Because Rosa never read the contract she signed, and there is a
clause that will help her get her hands on the company whenever she decides
kit’s the right time.
Dante is very worried because Pedro plans
to use Sara to get his hands on the company. He will eventually manage to win
against Juan. Deb asks about the charities, and Dante says he is handling this.
He is also handling the paperwork for Lucas’ money… a lot of millions. They
fall on the bed, kissing.
Later, once they’re done, Deb asks what Dante’s
plans with Aurora are. Dante is not yet sure what he will be doing with her,
does say she is retired from her “work”. Deb urges him to be careful, then
remembers Pedro asking her to see the DNA documents that prove Sara is a Del
Monte. She doesn’t tell Dante what she’s thinking about, though.
Pedro and Sara arrive to talk to Juan and
Mateo. They all decide to be united for Lucas. Group hug. Then they go inside
the room and try to do their best to comfort him, while he sobs on his mother’s
chest. They all encourage him and promise to be by his side.
Julieta wants to confront Deb over her
accusation against Rosa, but her mom thinks they should say nothing, Lucas is
more important for Juan now. And she needs to take care of her baby. Juli
agrees. Rosa promises always to protect her.
Juan tells Lucas he will handle everything
about the funeral. When Mateo tells him Simon is coming back from his honeymoon
to be there for him, too, Lucas explodes, he can handle everything on his own.
Sara explains they only want to help, but Lucas gets even madder, pushes Pedro,
and screams at Juan – that’s why he’s still a child, because of their constant
need to protect him. Sara says they all know he can handle it alone, they only
want to help because they love him. Lucas starts crying and asks them to
forgive him, he’s acting like an idiot. Another group hug.
Rosa tells Juli she needs to go support
Lucas, it’s her duty as Juan’s future wife. Juli doesn’t feel like it, Rosa
teaches her how to be her best hypocrite self (it’s gonna be a short lesson,
Juli is already an A+ student).
Modesto and Bertha talk about Lucas and his
pain. Then Modesto mentions his dead wife, who has been gone for many years. He
still misses her.
Sara wants to fix Lucas some tea and Pedro
offers to help. She is happy with him for buying that house for Tadeo and Bea,
he proved what a swell guy he is. Pedro says he’s made many mistakes, but he’s
doing his best to improve. And yeah, he’s trying to change for Tadeo, too, he always
felt a connection to him, even when he didn’t know they were the same blood. And
he is so frightened he might not be there for his son on the long run (uh, oh,
foreshadowing!). Sara asks Pedro to stop confronting Cornelio, it’s for
everyone’s good.
Bea arrives to interrupt them, she came to
comfort Lucas. And no, Tadeo is not alone, he’s with Dulce and Salvador. When
Bea leaves, Pedro makes sure Sara is aware he and Bea are done!
Lucas plans to take his mother’s body to
San Luis Potosi, to be with his other brothers. Mateo asks if he plans to stay
there, but Lucas is not sure yet. Juan says no matter what happened with the
inheritance, Santa Catalina will always be his home.
As Bea waits for Lucas, Rosa scolds her for
not arriving at an opportune moment. Lucas comes from the study and Bea hugs
him. Then it’s Juli’s turn to give her condolence, but then she grabs Juan’s
hand to say that as one life ends, another one begins. And she shows Juan a
video of her sonogram, and we can hear the baby’s heart beat, their little
Severiano del Monte (Ugh, I hope it’s a girl and she will be called Matea).
Juan is smiling, but everyone else is very somber looking, talk about bad
timing.
The next day Simon and Paloma are back
home. Tadeo greets them, Lucas thinks they shouldn’t have come, but Simon hugs
him tight, he wanted to be with him in these hard moments.
A few days later…
Salvador is checking his cash register,
some money is missing. Lucas and Amado arrive, Lucas says he’s decided to stay in
town. He will send Amado and his brothers money, he cares about them a lot.
Amado tells Lucas about his debts. If he doesn’t pay, they are both in mortal
danger. He says he needed the money for their mother’s treatments and some
other shady stuff he can’t talk about… The nasty guys arrive at the Bar,
calling for Amado to join them. Lucas remembers the night of the attack.
One of the guys comes to talk to Lucas,
tells him he needs to pay Amado’s debts. Lucas says he’s not paying anything.
The guy punches him, Lucas hits back, but he seems to have the odds stacked against
him.
Over breakfast Sara tells Julieta that she
doesn’t agree to her sitting place at the table (to Juan’s left), she doesn’t
belong in that chair. Juli strongly disagrees, reminds Sara she wanted to “hurt”
her. Juan tries to stop them, but then things get really good when Paloma
arrives with a tray of food, and Simon asks her to sit, adding that if they are
talking about who has the right to the best chair at the table, that should be
Paloma, his wife. Juli says how come, since she’s doing a servant’s job, which
(you guessed it) upsets Simon, but Rosa and Deb’s reactions are the best. Simon
asks Julieta to respect his wife and nastily scolds Paloma for helping in the
kitchen, never again! He asks her to sit, again and has to help her sit by his
side, at the overcrowded table.
Dulce says goodbye to Brandon and his
family… ffw
Juan and Simon talk about Lucas, who is
still part of the company and needs money to help his brothers. He adds that he
didn’t like how he talked to Paloma (true!), but Simon shuts him up, because he
himself can’t control his two women (truer!).
As Simon leaves, Sara comes to inform Juan
they are signing an important contract today, he should act professional about
it. This coming from someone who goes to work wearing skin tight clothes and an
exposed torso.
Mateo tells Pedro he will be late to work
because he’s going to say goodbye to Dulce. But Pedro thinks he can say bye bye
through video, the company is more important.
Brandon is preparing his bag, counting his
money, he’s up to no good…ffw
Sara arrives to work and Bea tells her someone
is waiting in her office Who is that? Aurora, Juan and Pedro’s mom, she
introduces herself. She wants Sara to help her get close to her kids. Sara says
that’s not her job, Aurora should talk to them. Aurora says she is sorry for
all the pain she caused, but Sara knows she has been a crappy mother, and even
as she thinks everyone deserves a second chance, this is not her place to
meddle. She wants to know why Aurora came to her for help. Aurora says she
didn’t have an easy life, raising two kids alone, with no money, she had so
much rage, why did it have to happen to her? Sara is sorry, but she can’t help,
she has to do this on her own, without using any type of manipulations. Aurora
agrees, leaves Sara a note with her phone number.
Alone at home, it’s still not over between
Paloma and Julieta (I really hope these two are sisters!). Juli asks Paloma
more coffee, wants to pull rank, saying she is the lady of the house. Stupid Paloma
doesn’t fight back, she actually serves coffee to Julieta and Rosa, she wants
to avoid problems for Simon. But she is his wife and Julieta has to respect
her. Rosa reminds Paloma about her mom sleeping with Sev, Paloma says she’s not
looking for a fight, but Juli is making a mistake. Juli resents that, she is
the lady of Santa Catalina!
Deb and Bertha arrive at the boutique, Deb
plans to hire someone to tale Bea’s place, Bertha offers to help just for a
little while. Deb rightfully notices the shop is very antiquated, starts
searching through the drawers and finds a box.
The meeting is about to start, but the
brothers are not at work yet. Sara tells Bea who the woman visiting her was, but
she doesn’t plan to interfere. She calls Juan, but the call goes to voice
message.
Bea adds that she and Cornelio are about to
meet to talk here, at the company.
As Lucas is down on the floor, all his
brothers show up and start beating the crap out of the bad guys. It’s a
beautiful scene really, four men wearing business attire teaching a lesson to
the town thugs! Lucas is feeling very bad, though, that first guy managed to
punch him good. Sal calls for the police.
One of the thugs pulls out a gun and
directs it at Juan, who manages to disarm him. Simon says they will press
charges against them, the leader of the gang threatens them. When the thugs
leave, Salvador is upset the Bar has been ruined. Juan promises to pay for the
damages. Lucas is still shaken up, Juan and Pedro ask why did they try to beat
him? Lucas says these are the guys who attacked him before. Pedro and Mateo
think they should have finished them off, Juan wants to tell the cops. Both
Juan and Pedro remember the day in town when they saw two of the men in close
vicinity to Lucas.
Idiot Sal is blaming the brothers for
messing up his Bar, Juan apologizes, but Pedro rightfully points out the guys
were attacking Lucas, they were only defending them. Juan asks Simon to call
Dante. He will handle the meeting at the company.
Paloma is in a hurry to go say goodbye to
Dulce, but eventually shares with Modesto how Julieta is bothering her, saying
she is the lady of the house. But Simon can’t know about it. Modesto thinks he
should know, but Paloma wants to keep silent, avoid conflict.
Bertha doesn’t think Deb should break open
the box, but this is Deb, she couldn’t care less! And she finds Rosa’s Love
Letters to Severiano Del Monte!!! Yey for Deb being a meddler!
Juli is afraid Paloma will unite with Sara
to make her life a living hell, that’s why she needed to make clear who was in
charge. Rosa is ashamed to go outside, people might realize she and Prospi are
separated, but Julieta wants her to go buy her basinet.
Bea and Cornelio talk about Tadeo, with a
guard looking over, at Sara’s demand. Cornelio only wanted to tell her they
have to leave the house, but he plans to keep the money for Tadeo. And Sal
could help them, give them a room for now. Bea asks if he knows who bought the
house, Corni doesn’t, so Bea says it’s Pedro. Corni gets mad, thinks this was
planned by Pedro and Bea together, to humiliate him, show him that Pedro has
more money than he does. He’s never been in more pain than when his mother
died, but he will never forgive such betrayal. How could they? And he places
his wedding ring in Bea’s hand. Good riddance!
Juan finally answers Sara, tells her he
talked to their business partner guy, signing of the contract will be done
another day. When Sara protests, Juan finally tells her why he had to postpone,
Lucas is going to be checked up by a doctor at the ranch and Simon went to
press charges with Dante. Sara runs home, too.
Dante and Aurora talk. Dante is upset her
sons have caused a mess again and he has to go to the Bar. Asking how things
went with Sara, Aurora says she is a tough woman. Dante almost proudly says
Sara is no sentimental flower, nothing like Juan and Pedro. Aurora begs Dante
for help with her sons. Pedro is calling Dante and he asks Aurora if she wants
to talk to him. Pedro wants to talk about the man he hired to kill Cornelio.
Augusto thinks he should have been part of
the fight, too, but Sal is more worried about who is going to clean up
everything. Simon and Paloma are there, too, Simon is still upset with Augie
over what he said about Sev’s accident. Amado wants to talk to Simon. Victorio
and the others are traffickers, they shot him that time, but their target was
Cornelio. The problem is they have no proof, but Victorio is very dangerous.
Simon and Paloma run to the ranch, tell what they just found out to everyone else.
Juli admires the ranch, daydreaming about
all of this belonging to her son one day. Rosa is hungry, Paloma should have
prepared them some food. Prospi arrives, wanting to talk to Rosa. He admits he
made a mistake, but if Rosa won’t forgive him, then they need to get a divorce.
Rosa thinks he’s crazy, but Prospi doesn’t want to stay together just for
appearances. She has always cared more about what other people think, he might
have cheated, but she wasn’t the greatest wife, either. Rosa offends him by
saying he was never able to satisfy her as a woman. Prospi is sorry he couldn’t
be the perfect man for her, but he won’t stand this humiliation. She can keep
thinking she is right about everything, he is done!
Sara arrives to see Lucas, who is in his
bed, feeling very bad. She notices all the brothers are ruffled, they explain they
all fought to defend their brother. Sara and Juan ask Lucas what happened the
night he was attacked. Lucas says the guys wanted to rape him! What? Caras
impactadas all over!
Juan thinks they should let the Police
handle this, but Mateo and Pedro want to do things differently. Lucas was
ashamed to talk about it, and he couldn’t even defend himself. He tells his
siblings what exactly happened, remembers the men spanking him, calling him names…
Sara doesn’t think he should continue, and
Lucas can’t stand talking about it anymore. She promises to always be by his
side. Juan and Pedro are both furious.
Julieta has made a frame of her pregnant
picture. She thinks she looks lovely, Modesto points out she is less beautiful
when she makes Paloma feel bad. He knows this is about her fight with Sara, but
he doesn’t want to go against her, he hopes her son will be a blessing for the
family. Juli agrees, her son will be a better Del Monte, because unlike Tadeo,
he will be a legitimate heir. Modesto warns her to leave the kids out of this
and she should stay away from Paloma, too.
Deb arrives, she noticed Prospi outside,
looking so sad. She wants to know where ridiculous Rosa is, calls for her singing.
Modesto looks amused.
Dante arrives at the Bar, Sal is still
whining.
Alone with Lucas, Sara and Juan think he
was very brave to talk about what happened. They apologize for not being aware
of what was going on with him, even as they realized he wasn’t doing OK.
Cornelio is helping Victorio get into Santa
Catalina in exchange for getting the guy who ordered his assassination. Then
Corni calls Modesto to ask him to join him to go pick up Tadeo from school.
Simon and Paloma run inside the house and tell
the others the man who attacked Lucas was the same guy who shot Amado. They all
go to the study, and Simon says the guy was supposed to shot Cornelio. Pedro is
not happy with how this conversation is going, Lucas knows Amado owes them a
lot of money. Juan thinks they need proof, Paloma insists they are very
dangerous. They all decide to go talk to the Police.
Rosa asks Deb to get out of Juli’s room.
But Deb wants to talk about Sev, how long have they been involved? Rosa
threatens her, but Deb says she has the love letters for Severiano, so she
should be scared of her. Is she afraid the letters will come to light? Or that
Juli might be Sev’s daughter, too? NOBODY will ever take Sara’s place, so Rosa
should be careful!
Prospi, Adela, Modesto and Bertha are in
the kitchen, talking about Prospi getting a divorce. Modesto says he had to go
see Corni, but he ca go later, if Prospi needs to talk about it.
Brandon ran away from home…
Julieta finds out what has been happening,
but she is worried about Juan, says she is waiting for him to come back home
for dinner. The baby has started kicking, would tia Sara want to be the first
the feel the kicks? Sara admits not knowing much about pregnancy, Juli offends
her saying she will most likely never have the joy of being pregnant… this is
all so random and idiotic, seeing what they are all dealing with right now.
Sara says they are all in a hurry, Juli puts Juan’s hand on her belly, with
Sara and Mateo looking.
Cornelio is still calling Modesto, asking
him to come over, but Modesto is busy, they can see each other later.
The thugs arrive at the ranch. They start
shooting the guards and get inside the property. The Del Montes hear the shots and
go in defense mode. Modesto starts locking all the doors and windows. Somehow
idiot Brandon runs inside and manages to get through the main doors before
Pedro and Mateo lock them. Shots are being fired all over, as Simon and Mateo
call the cops. The Del Montes are all locked up in the house, staying away from
the windows, while the thugs have taken control of the outside and are trying
to get in. Juan asks Modesto to take all the women to his room. But Sara wants
to stay, protect the house. Prospi stays with the women upstairs.
Now in the study, Juan gives everyone guns.
Sara wants one, too, Modesto grabs two. Adela wants to fight, too, so she gets
an weapon.
Rosa, Deb, Juli, Paloma and Brandon are in
the room with Prospi when Modesto arrives with two guns. He hands one to
Prospi, asks the women to keep quiet.
The shots are reaching inside the house.
Simon and Pedro leave together, Mateo defends the front entry. Adela tells Sara
to stay in the study, but she wants to go defend her brothers.
Juan and Lucas are now outside, they start
fighting with three thugs (use your guns!). Pedro and Simon are outside, too,
firing at some other guys, while Adela, Mateo and Sara are still inside. Mateo
starts fighting with a guy, while two others go upstairs.
Juan and Lucas manage to disarm their
opponents. Sara and Adela come outside and Sara shoots one of the guys, while
Juan gets another one. Pedro and Simon are disarmed, but they start fighting
and come up on top. They see Victorio and go after him.
The two guys who went upstairs try to break
the door of the bedroom and start fighting with Prospi and Modesto. One of them
overpowers Prospi and comes inside, but Mateo hits him, saving the women. Juli
runs to him.
Cornelio comes running to the ranch, only to find a bunch of guards dead on the ground; he remembers his father’s words about loving him, just like Modesto is fighting with a thug, who is about to kill him. Corni gets upstairs, just as the guy shoots Modesto. He punches the guy, but Modesto isn’t waking up. Is he dead?

My favourite quotes were: "it’s gonna be a short lesson, Juli is already an A+ student", "Ugh, I hope it’s a girl and she will be called Matea" and "This [being professional] coming from someone who goes to work wearing skin tight clothes and an exposed torso."
"she only slept with Prospi for the money". Well, Deb, this has a name, you know.
Did Amado seriously ask Lucas to pay money to the thugs? "Hey, brother that I met three days ago, I've screwed up. Care to pay for it?"
"Stupid Paloma doesn’t fight back, she actually serves coffee to Julieta and Rosa," What. I wonder what's her reasoning... "she wants to avoid problems for Simon." I've lost my faith in humanity.
"Idiot Sal is blaming the brothers for messing up his Bar" Makes sense that the people who defended their brother are responsible for the attack and the messing up. I think that Sal IS Paloma's father after all lol.
"Lucas says the guys wanted to rape him!" Well that was unexpected!
"Julieta has made a frame of her pregnant picture." Julieta is the definition of self-centred.
Bingo
I'll add "Gun Fired" to my bingos. You guys have that already but I don't.
I hope Modesto survives .
It was great seeing the cavalry arrive to save Lucas from those thugs. The brothers were kicking it and taking names.Sal was stupid and useless. I hope Adela doesn't end up with Sal. She and Prospi are a better match.
I suspected that something more traumatic than a beating happened to Lucas becAuse he was so distraught . Just wait until it is revealed that Pedro started this whole chain of events by having Dante hire someone to kill Corny.
I am confused about Aurora.Did she just suddenly come to Dante? I thought that Dante might have found her to upset Pedro and Juan.
Juli is her own biggest fan . She wasted no time framing that photo of herself and putting it in the living room . Rosa has raised her to feel entitled and egotistical . if Rosa suspects Juli is Sev's daughter , unexplained why Rosa has been so adamant about Juli marrying Juan and becoming queen of the castle. Juli is completely focused on using this baby to secure her place at the ranch , and insipid Juan just let's her keep putting his hand on her bump.
It was weird that the brothers decided to go out of The hacienda to confront the attackers .Then, instead of using guns, everyone was doing hand to hand combat .QTH??
Does Pedro somehow suspect that Sara is not Sev's daughter? He asked Deb for proof. Why does he suddenly have this suspicion? I don't think Pedro will survive. I think he will die to save either Juan or Sara.
Weirdo, I need to look at my bingo cards today. Thanks for reminding me. : )
Susanlynn, you and I were on the same wavelength. After seeing how shook Lucas was after the initial attack by the thugs, I suspected he was raped but couldn’t admit it to anyone let alone his bros.
The invasion of the hacienda was a nice touch of action. It sure perked up the episodes and the novela. The hand to hand fighting was great. It took them long enough to get to their firearms. At least Sara grabbed a gun.
Jarifa, the pot is bubbling with all these folks bumping into each other in the hacienda. That table is getting crowded .
I did not realize that Corni gave his wedding band to Bea. I was watching on a smaller TV and thought it was the key to their house, so thank you for the clarification.
I always wonder how people like Deb have saved the old love letters they sent someone. How did they get the back?
That really was weird when Lucas said the thugs tried to rape him during the first mugging. QTH?
I agree, it was weird to see guns AND hand to hand fighting.
Lucas' recently found mother died in his bed, and how many days later he is in it, himself? I haven't had either of those experiences but it would creep me out just a little.
During the gunfight I truly laughed out loud when Rosa asked Prospi "When did you learn to use a gun?" and he said, "Five minutes ago."
Hopefully Modesto will survive his GSW.
I also think those scenes of Juli having Paloma serve her might be a harbinger of the tables becoming turned with the same idea they are sisters, and Paloma might be older. Just a Crockpot Theory©️, so who knows?!?
I haven’t watched at all yet this week but I hope to catch up today and tomorrow.
I think I am sitting alone at the Paloma is not Sev’s daughter table but sit I shall. I am still wondering what was up with that odd look from mommy at the vague suggestion that Paloma might look like Modesto.
My Sev parentage theories are that Sev is the bio dad of at least one adopted son - Juan seems the obvious choice because of the favoritism but maybe Mateo. Sev might be the bio dad of Juli. Sev is not bio-dad to Sara or Paloma.
Darcy, you're not sitting alone. I also don't think Paloma is Sev's. I also agree what he's not Sara's father either.
It was difficult enough to catch everything that transpired but you went above and beyond packing your recap with gems my favorite being “Rosa teaches her how to be her best hypocrite self (it’s gonna be a short lesson, Juli is already an A+ student)” which was beyond.
Watching Lucas, the kindest and gentlest lose his mother as he bore the brunt of hatred and cruelty was hard to watch. Jarifa, I also fear Lucas was raped - he was so traumatized it seemed more than fright.
Despite all hell breaking out, Deb was continuing to start and stoke fires everywhere. She has virtually destroyed Rosa and Prospi’s marriage (although it wasn’t much to begin with), taken their money and business and exposed Rosa’s past. When Dante accuses her of cheating with Prospi she throws Dante’s wife in his face. Along with you Jarifa “ I absolutely loved Deb aggravating Juli and Rosa. I dislike them more than her,” You just can’t keep a bad girl down.
Interesting that Rosa had her own love letters. I was wondering the same thing as you doris – did Sev give them back?
Poor Paloma thinks she is keeping the peace by waiting on Juli and Rosa but this will turn into disaster once Simon sees it for himself.
Bea did not look happy when she saw Pedro with Sara.
I have a question. Who was walking back and forth in the background looking very concerned in the scene where Cornelio was confronting Bea about Pedro buying the house? Juan’s assistant was clearly smitten with Bea but it didn’t look like him.
A sad and longing musing from Modesto on his wife, the first we’ve heard. Now he will be fighting for his life.
Adriana, just wonderful. Thank you!
Diana
One thing I have to say is that this novela keeps me guessing. Exasperating at times but entertaining.
One has to wonder how many takes they needed for those fight scenes. It looked like all the del Monte men took martial arts lessons.
Should be on the sidebar: Rosa tells Juli she needs to go support Lucas, it’s her duty as Juan’s future wife. Juli doesn’t feel like it, Rosa teaches her how to be her best hypocrite self (it’s gonna be a short lesson, Juli is already an A+ student).
Juli just gets more despicable all the time. There is no good reason for her not to be at the office. She is getting off on playing the Pregnant Damsel in Need of Protection for Juan while being a nasty bitch to Sara and Paloma, both of whom should tell her off but good. She is worse than her mother.
Why would Rosa have her letters to Severiano? Did he even have them in the first place? Who would have returned them to her if he had had them? The envelopes were too new-looking to have been handled much. I am guessing she wrote them, then locked them in that box after losing her nerve to send them.
Considering where Modesto was hit I think he will survive but have a long recovery.
More later.
Darcy - if Sal (Chavito) is truly her father, then Modesto truly is her uncle, and as genetics run, it is entirely possible for someone to favor a relative like an uncle more than their own parent. Wait! I'm using too many brain cells thinking thru all this. :-p
😛
BTW, Deb does not get all the credit for destroying Rosa's marriage. Prospero had a part in that, too. It takes two to tango, whether vertical or horizontal.
I think Berta will be very good for Modesto. Just younger enough for other men to envy and someone to add spice to his life.
doris, "Berta Perfecta" is great!!
Diana
She better have an appropriate anvil or I will be very disappointed.
Can you imagine how large the writers' storyboard for this telenovela must be?
Susanlynn, when ALL the brothers arrived at the Bar I actually clapped and cheered loudly. Talk about making an entrance! I agree that Juli being Sev's daughter perfcetly explains Rosa's obsession with her marrying a Del Monte. Just like I said a few days ago, for Rosa that would be like having her cake and eating it, too - her daughter gets to be lady of the house without Rosa having to tell anyone about her infidelity.
Doris, I was sure Corni gave Bea his wedding band, but now that you mention keys, I'm doubting... both work for dramatic effect. I was shocked to see the good guys use their fists instead of their guns after going outside (WTF!!), but I guess that's why they are the "good" guys, you can't have the protas kill a bunch of thugs even if it's in self defense.
About the love letters: maybe Sev returned them? Or Rosa never had the courage to send them? Either way, Rosa need to pull a Sara, go up the stairs and throw them at the Del Montes sitting in the living room. Whoever ctaches the trashiest letter wins a "true story" like confession from Rosa about her torrid love affair with Sev.
Jarifa and Diana, I LOVE Deb and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Yes, she is a toxic mother and a crappy human being, but atshe is very entertaining, which is why I watch novelas.
The man walking back and forth in the background was the guard Sara asked to keep an eye on Bea during her talk with Corni.
Urban, I agree that Juli is a big "improvement" over her mother. Rosa has no clue gow far her darling daughter is willing to go to become a Del Monte, but then again, if Juli is Sev's daughter, then maybe she'd be more than happy to help Juli sustain her lie.
If we think about it, Sara is the only one biologically a Del Monte because at the time she got pregnant Deb didn't have a husband to trick into believing her child is his. Had Dante been single, Sara would have probably called him "papa" now. If all the girls are Sev's it will be interesting to see Paloma and Sara team up to destroy (and I do mean obliterate) Julieta as soon as little Matea is born. In the meantime, with so many "ladies of the house" I hope one of them thinks about buying a bigger table for that dining room.
Paloma would not do that to Salvador.
If Sara is proven not to be Severiano's daughter -- most of ys think that Dante is her sperm donor -- she will be furious with Deborah for putting her through this only to be thoroughly humiliated. Severiano was cremated, so where would there be any DNA to compare to?
Sev gave her a mercy "couch experience" and he was one and done. Idiot that she is, she fell hopelessly in love with him so she sent him all those love letters. Maybe he got the first one, then gave instructions to his staff to "return to sender" any that might follow?
Juli and Rosa together are more than anyone should have to bear. Love Deb sticking it to them.
I too started wondering if Lucas had been raped. I’ll give it to the writers, the signs were there, plus Amado had said these thugs were mucho worse than ordinary thugs, but I didn’t believe this TN would go there.
If not for Sara, I don't think Lucas would've told them. Hopefully now he can start to heal emotionally. I really wanted him to get the chance to shoot the ringleader.
The way the brothers fanned out makes a lot of sense (at least in TN world). Juan, the sharpest shooter/fighter paired with Lucas, the novice. Pedro, the badass/calculator, paired with Simon, all in but hotheaded (I laughed when Simon said, in the middle of the battle, that he was dying to check that Paloma was okay and Pedro told him to stop talking stupid (estupideces). Last, Mateo, a thinker when he's sober, in the house blocking for the womenfolk. I love that both Sara and Adela took up arms too. As a single, abandoned mom for so many years, maybe this isn't Adela's first time taking care of business.
Dante is not yet sure what he will be doing with her [Aurora], does say she is retired from her “work”.
I’m gonna guess Aurora was laid off from her "work" before she willingly retired. Dang, age discrimination!
Soccer replaces the show tonight. I can't wait to see that Modesto is okay (I hope). Yay!
Our fearless, intrepid recappers catch a break!
First things first RIP Lucas' biological mother.
Jarifa: I was shocked about the revelations of the thugs wanting to rape Lucas. I was like "WTF ?"
Niecie: I agree with you on the strange turn of events in this Telenovela with the traumatic flashbacks of what might've happened to Lucas. At least Goldie Locks Sara was there to listen to his backstory.
UA: Something tells me Psycho Pedro will figure out Dante the Looter is Goldie Locks Sara's biological father & that Buji Julieta or one of her two sisters could be Scumbag Seve's biological daughter.

OMG Niecie - too too funny!
Also liked "As a single, abandoned mom for so many years, maybe this isn't Adela's first time taking care of business". Yes, absolutely. No flies on her.
