Caray, Caray!

These notes are in no way complete, so please feel free to add anything I omitted.

What a joke! They actually said that "La herencia" was in its"últimas semanas."   Guess it could be with the bizarre double episode programming. Give me a break!  I am really trying to enjoy this novela, PLEASE!  

 #43/44

Hmmm, we have a bit of info leading up to the main event:  the wedding of Paloma and Simón.  

Modesto tells Juan about Agustín saying Simón killed Severiano. Juan remembers Agustín saying that Severiano didn't deserve to die so horribly and for nobody to help him.  He never mentioned Simón. Modesto and Juan  agree to stay quiet about it.

Adela advises Prospi to fight for his family and wife.

Over tequila, Deb offers Berta a job as her assistant. 

Sara updates Pedro and Juan with the fact that NOTHING happened to Cornelio  after attacking Bea and her. Juan pledges to do what he can to protect them.

Cornelio tells Modesto that  he loves Bea and just couldn't control himself. Modesto tells Cornelio that when he starts facing consequences and taking responsibility, he will emerge as a different man and not be some lea in the wind. 

At the door to Sara's room, Juan gives her the bad news that Juli's baby is his and he even had Dante check over the reports. She thanks him for the news, gratulates him and closes the door in his face. 

Catalina's portrait is restored to its proper place.

Adela lectures the viewers on the importance of  family. 

ONE MONTH LATER

Paloma is getting ready for her wedding.  Her father still refuses to ask her down the aisle.  Adela thinks that she can talk Sal into coming. When Adela's attempt fails, Modesto stands in for his brother  and walks Paloma down the aisle.  Juan is stuck sitting with Juli and Sara with Pedro. Bea whispers to Sara that you cannot help that your eyes always look in the direction of the beloved. Juan is looking at Sara and she seems to be looking back. Pedro and Juli look perturbed. Irma is at the wedding and participates.   Surprise: Lucas and Mateo appear.  All six siblings are there and they have a group hug. Finally,  we hear "you may kiss the bride" and the (unfortunate) marriage ceremony is completed. Sal remembers Severiano punching him out after he damned Severiano and all of his sons. He then remembers Paloma tearfully asking him to come to the wedding.  Amado tells him to do it for Paloma's sake. Sal ends up going to the church and is welcomed by all. He even makes peace with Simón.  The newly wedded  couple enjoys their wedding night. (Too bad Paloma didn't take the advice to RUN.)  I (begrudgingly)  comment that  at least Simón thanks Paloma for wearing his dead mother's wedding dress. 

In the meantime, Amado has been confronted by the goons set on collecting his old  gambling debts. He needs to pay up 100% (they decide to double what he owes and add interest) or Lucas will continue to pay and they have only started with him. 

Mateo expresses his gratitude to Sara for what she did for him. Lucas tells the family that his mother is in town, too, for an appointment at the hospital. He didn't want to bring her to stay at the house without the brothers' okay. Juan says she is welcome. His mother's treatment for her condition has not gone well. It turns out that Lucas is a viable donor but in the next breathe he  adds that it looks like his mother is "condemned to death. "

Pedro tells Dante he has the accounting documents to prove that Juan is a thief. Dante warns  him to be careful in his chess game because Sara is ready to close an important  deal with the Russians and could take over the presidency. That doesn't bother Pedro who knows he will have his own throne soon. 

Lucas learned a lot from his mother in the last month and doesn't want her to die. She told him that when she came back to claim him, he wasn't there. He was already a DelMonte and had a life she could have never given him. It broke her heart to leave him again but she prayed that God would take care of  him. She asked for Lucas' forgiveness and he gave it to her. He acknowledges that he lost his inheritance but that will not stop him. He will accept their help because he is going to need it. Juan tells him he is going to have security after that attack. (It looked like Lucas had security already in the scene with his mother.  There was a guy standing behind them surveilling the area. ) Lucas thinks back to being attacked. When Juan sees him upset, he asks if something else happened. Lucas says no. 

Rosa gets on her high horse and insults Deb for hiring somebody like Berta who she has already insulted in this scene.  Berta resorts to French quoting a Mexican proverb: The lion thinks everyone is like he is. Rosa pretends she knows what it means but then has to asks them for the meaning. Deb answers in French: She is a slut. Deb and Berta laugh. Berta says it means that the guests are tired. She asks if Rosa and Prospi  are leaving already. 

Pedro asks Sara if she loves Juan. She refuses to discuss feelings with him.

Sal puts the moves on Adela and  she is interested in taking a chance on love again. 

Juli is clearly out of place at the hacienda. Rehab has made Mateo very good at ignoring her. 

Sara makes it clear that she is not interested in either Juan or Pedro. 

Rosa and Jessica have been treating Brayan like a servant now that Berta is gone. Prospi tells Rosa Brayan is no servant. He is sick of Rosa treating them all like garbage.  Prospi is taking control and tells Jessica and Brayan that they can sleep together in her room. Prospi says the same applies to Jessica. Brayan is not her slave either. She needs to do things  for him, too. Prospi thinks that  the reason  Rosa cannot put up with him is  because he is not Severiano. She sure put up with him. 

Brayan takes what Prospi said to heart and refuses to wait on Jessica.  News to her: he is planning on still helping out his family financially. She is left thinking about how she is paying for her tuition. He suggests that she treat him like a husband and not her slave. Jessica admits it is all about "class". Brayan quotes a saying "When poverty comes in through the window, love goes out the door." He wants them to go back to his family home. 

Bea starts working at Avocado Central where Pedro welcomes the "Campoverde Company" in his head.

Juan gets a phone call from a woman who says she is his mother.  He tells Pedro and they wonder if it is about extortion. Pedro t says he wants nothing to do with her because they only had one mother: Catalina.

Dante brings Sara the papers declaring that she is contesting Severiano's will.  He tries to talk Sara out of contesting the will even though she has the right to do so.  Sara is not backing down. She is contesting the will as payback for the humiliation the brothers put her and her mother through and for how Juan used her.  Dante says he wishes  he could have helped her more but  it would be a conflict of interest.  Sara will find her own lawyer.  Lucas has already been disinherited. 

Juli and Deb argue over who is the "lady of the house" : Juli or Sara. Deb has decided to go see Juli's  father, she misses him so! Prospi shows up as if on cue and Deb is all over him just to drive Juli nuts. 

Rosa starts to pressure Juan about marrying Juli. 

Prospi tries to talk Juli into coming home. Nope, she is there to stay at the hacienda to make Sara and Deb pay for what they have done. 

Dante wants to see the documents that Pedro will use to frame Juan. That is not happening. Pedro says he can make people disappear, too, without getting blood on his hands. From now on, he and Deb will do what he wants and he  physically throws Dante out of his office.  Going down the hall, Dante mutters to himself about showing Pedro who is really running the show.

Mateo tries to talk Brandon out of going to the USA to make money to send home. He knows it also has  to do with Dulce but Brandon can find great opportunities with robotics here in Mexico. Mateo tells Brandon that for him,  it is one day at a time.  Yes, he is still in love with Juli.

Dante  meets with Juan and Pedro's mother: Aurora. She proves she called Juan by showing him her phone. He asks her if she is ready to win her sons' hearts back.  They are millionaires but are like Cain and Abel. He thinks she will win Juan over right away and he will take care of Pedro.  

Hmm . . .  it SEEMS like Sal is thinking about Paloma being a Del Monte and how that would change things all the way around. Modesto tries to get him to look to the future and  forget the past. Sal is conflicted. 

Lucas brings his mother to Avocado Central. He introduces her to Sara and Juan. Deb cannot resist making some disparaging remarks about her. Even though Sara tries to shut her up, the stress is too much and Lucas' mother  and she falls unconscious. Her pulse is weak. They bring out their own company stretcher (convenient)  and take her to the hospital immediately.  Sara tells Deb that she hopes that nothing worse happens to Lucas' mother or the family will never forgive her. Sara wants her mother to recognize what she did for once in her life and apologize to Lucas. (Lotsa' luck I say!)
