A.MAR #47 Parte 1 Notes from the Couch . . .

The Fight for Iker
Adriana comes up with an idea for Gabriel to let Iker know that he loves him and wants to explain what happened. She sends Marina to go visit Iker at his foster home. He is so happy to see her but that quickly changes when she asks him to give his father another chance and talk to him. He loves Iker more than anything in the world. Iker refuses saying that Gabriel lied about everything to him. She asks that he do it for Marina the mermaid. Iker is reluctant because sometimes mermaids trick pirates to get their treasures. She asks him to at least think about it.

Brisa is somehow at Gabriel's AGAIN and tries to talk him into going to Azul's birthday party because she knows Iker will be there. Gabriel refuses to do anything that might jeopardize his adoption hearing per the instructions of his lawyer. Brisa blames Marina for everything again and FINALLY Gabriel tells her to stop. Marina is his partner and he will make any decisions he has to make with her. Brisa actually looks shocked.

Marina tells Gabriel about her visit. She is sure that with time Iker will come around. Gabriel says that the one thing he does not have is time. The adoption hearing is the day after tomorrow and Iker will have a say.

Marina and Adriana: An Uneasy Meeting
Adriana meets Marina at Iker's foster home. Marina notices the odd way Adriana is looking at her. She asks her why she is looking at her like she does.
Adriana says it is just that she never . . . saw a person with amnesia before.

Later, Marina brings the topic of Adriana up with Gabriel. She tells him that she finds her unsettling. She is sure she is hiding something.

Adriana cannot believe that her sister Antonia (Marina) is still alive. What even puzzles her more is that she is wearing the mermaid necklace just like the one she has. It wasn't on her neck when she attacked her and left her for dead. How did that happen?

Fabián Gets a Warning from Estrella
Fabián confronts Sergio in front of Estrella. He has done his homework online and has found out that Sergio's corporation has bought land all over Mexico at bargain prices from the poor and then developed it to make big bucks! He won't let him take advantage of the people in this town. He has heard hat he is interested in buying up houses. Giving the fishermen a bonus was only the start of trying to win them over. Sergio doesn't deny buying up homes but doesn't see his business dealings in the crooked way that Fábian does. He explains to Fabián and Estrella that he is only buying homes in their town so he can enlarge Azul's school. Fabián makes it clear that he doesn't believe him.
They start to argue loudly as Azul appears. Estrella tells them to bring it down a notch around Azul.

When they are alone, Estrella tells Fabián that he might be right that Sergio is planning something that could hurt their community but he has no proof. He insists that he cannot stand by and do nothing. Estrella explains that when Azul witnesses him and Sergio arguing it hurts her. Whether Fabián likes it or not, Sergio is Azul's father and will be a part of their lives. She adds that if Fabián makes her choose between him and Azul, she will pick her daughter over him 100% of the time. Later they make up over text messages.
 

A.MAR Parte 2

Sergio Tracks Down "Loose Lips" Porfirio
Sergio knows that the knowledge of him buying up land could only have come from one person: Porfirio. Sergio confronts him about it and after hemming and hawing, Porfirio admits he must have mentioned it in passing to Fabián. Sergio tells him that if he ruins his plans, he will make the rest of his life miserable. Porfiio assures him he said nothing about the commercial fishery or the packing company. From now on, he is a "tomb". Sergio tells him he better be or he will end up in a tomb. Sergio adds that because of Porfirio, now he has to enlarge the local school. Porfirio considers that an investment! Sergio says the cost of that project will come out of Porfirio's commission.

Perla and Valentín Decide to Get Unstuck from their Partners
Pascual's mother is overjoyed to see Valentín who started living with her when he was fifteen. She complains that he calls only a couple times a year while Pascual calls her twice a day. She takes Perla into the kitchen to teach her how to make Pascual's favorite rice.

Perla and Valentín meet and decide that they need to break up with their current partners" Pascual and Matilde. Perla makes sure that Valentín is willing to fight for their relationship as much as she is before committing to it. Only then can they start their romance the right way.

The Date
Gonzalo doesn't take Meche out to eat but takes her out to a place where they can feel young again. They end up at a dance club along with Yazmín and Oliver. They hit the dance floor and have a good time while Oliver and Yazmín play kissy face. Everyone is enjoying themselves until Javier shows up.
 

A.MAR

Jarifa, I thoroughly enjoyed tonight's episode but it was only after I read your exceptional recap that I understood everything that occurred. You consistenly record the especially important and juicy details that add so much.

Ahhh, I thought I heard Adriana call Marina hermanita!!! Trying to murder anyone is heinous enough but committing sororicide is especially cruel and evil. No wonder Marina finds Adriana "unsettling"!! I sense jealousy over a man. Also, Adriana must know Marina had a child, right? I wonder if she believes the baby perished? So many questions.

Of course Fabian is spot on about Sergio! I like that Estrella listens and takes a bit of time to process what she hears. She and Fabian trust each other and unless something drastic changes, I don't see Sergio managing to ingratiate himself back in her good graces. Fabian is hot headed but Sergio is a bit too cool and cocky for my taste.

Hopefully Marina was able to convince Iker that Gabriel does care and that he should forgive him. I couldn't believe Brisa had the unmitigated gaul to show up at Gabriel's (yet again). Gabriel needs to permanently forbid her access to his house.

"Perla makes sure that Valentín is willing to fight for their relationship as much as she is before committing to it" had me sighing away. Valentin has good intentions but the truth is that he's a wimp and needs a major dose of cowardly lion courage.

Jarifa, I loved your comment on the previous post that "I think Gpnzalo is the only tried and true one without major deficiencies. They are a pretty sorry group..." HA!! Truer words were never spoken. He and Meche didn't exactly cut up the rug (so to speak) but he got Meche out on the dance floor which is a major step!

This was fabulous, thank you so much!

Diana
 

Karsu

This all seems a bit off to me. First of all, Monday we didn’t get to hear Atila’s explanation of who he actually is, nor did we see Karsu’s reaction. Now they’re in the hotel and she’s mad. He married Lale just to save Karsu and her kids from … well, we don’t know exactly what, but something bad. Shouldn’t she give him big points for that? Also, the man she fell in love with was sweet and gentle, and she thought he was a writer. All of a sudden, he’s sauve and has a quite forceful personality. And he looks different. Well, she saw him with his hair slicked back at his wedding, but now, with no formal event happening, he’s got the same look. I would think he’d seem like a stranger to her. But there is the fact that she now knows he’s a mafioso, so that is a valid reason for being mad.

Didn’t you love when Atila leaned against the bathtub and it shifted? The actor looked surprised, but I guess they decided not to re-shoot the scene.

It was puzzling when Hassan said Genghis Khan had always been no problem. So why did he order Atila to kill him? I guess we’ll find out eventually. Also, I was surprised that the two things Hassan loves most in this world are his home city and his son. We sure haven’t seen any evidence of that.

We still don’t know what Irmak will do for her revenge. Sounds like Adnan has some shady dealings that she heard about eavesdropping. I guess she had no luck trying to guess his password.

Finally at the end they explained to us what this “siro” dinner is.

Poor Cedvet got found out. I felt for him. I’ve been wondering about Lale’s job. She doesn’t seem to go to work anymore, and it looked like a great job. Also, what of her nice apartment? I had liked Lale before (I think I may be the only one) because I liked her cheerful pragmatism. But now there’s no doubt she’s behaving badly. She too seems changed to me.


 

Karsu

Karsu had the perfect response to him marrying Lale. She wasn't having any of his woe is me bs. You could have gone away, not marry my sister in law! Preach it, sister. Don't let him off the hook

Finally Filiz puts all the pieces together about Hasan and her secret admirer. I was all set to look up what a Sira dinner was, I thought at first it was the area Hasan grew up in, but that town or region was also mentioned, and then Merc explained it. Tonight should be fun. I expected Filiz to also invite Karsu and possibly Irmak. She hasn't had much opportunity for Karsu yet as she was kidnapped for the night.

Was it last night's episode when Filiz dropped the kids off telling Hande this is good practice to see if you should have children. I think it was actually Monday. Good advice. I know people that think they want a dog should borrow one for a while or foster to make sure they know what they are getting into. My brother and his wife keep getting puppies they don't train, and then give them away because they are a problem. Fortunately they learned their lesson and now have a cat.

The demands Karsu gave Cevdet cracked me up. I want to work one day a week get a raise and if I have to leave for the kids at any time I'm out of here and he's like yes ma'am, whatever you want.

That Kadir storyline I'm not getting at all. This show definitely has mystery aspects to it

Yeah, Adnan is up to something and Irmak plans to expose him, if she can figure out his password. Initially I was wondering why is she snooping while he is home, she has all day while he is at work to look around. Then the laptop explained why.

I guess Adnan's mom is out of the house for good.


 

Karsu

One other observation. Did anyone get the impression Merk is adopted, or possibly not Hasan's? Would a bastard child be punished for his mother's sins in the Turkish culture? Just speculating since Hasan did say he was a good boy and didn't give him any trouble. As I said, lots of mystery in this show, but they do reveal things eventually.
 

A.Mar

Thanks, Jarifa, that was excellent. I think I must have dozed off somewhere in the last few episodes! I thought Gabriel had believed Brisa and accused Marina of reporting him. Then, the next thing I see is Marina nursing him through his drunken night and all is well with them.

Fabian is hotheaded. He’s always loosing his temper at Sergio when Azul is there. I can’t see her ever coming around to caring for him. He’s always yelling or punching her father. And she’s looking at her father through rose colored glasses.

When Pascual’s mother was talking to Perla about her never breaking his heart I figured Perla would be stuck in that relationship. I’m glad she pinned Valentin down on their relationship but I don’t really think Valentine will follow through!

Liz
 

Karsu

I didn’t realize Karsu was going to a one day work week! I really thought her pride would make her quit.

I like Hasan and Filiz together. They’re a cute couple.

I’m glad Irmak is going after Adnan. He was crazy to cheat on her, and in their own bed.

I wonder if Hasan ordered Atila to kill his brother as some sort of test. It’s a bit risky, as he could have gone through with it. And we don’t know if he passed or failed the test.

Liz


 

A.MAR

Diana, thanks for introducing a new term to my vocabulary "sororicide" "sororicidio". Now I am thinking of sorority. It must have a Latin root because "sor" also means "sister" in the sense of a "religious sister" in Spanish.

"I like that Estrella listens and takes a bit of time to process what she hears." Yes! I was thinking the other day that the conversations that Estrella and Fabián have are some of the most natural I have seen in any production in a long time.

Liz, you didn't doze off at all or miss a thing. There has been more than one situation in this novela where things were obviously settled behind the scenes and I was left wondering what happened.

" I’m glad she (Perla) pinned Valentin down on their relationship but I don’t really think Valentine will follow through! " Me, either. Perla deserves better than either of these two knuckleheads. How muc hlonger will the charade go on?


 

Karsu

Liz, I think Karsu was joking, asking for ridiculous concessions from Cevdet to make a point. She knows he is in on the deception. She may actually quit, but she does need a job and Atilla sorta owes her now.
 

O/T

After many years, Angélica Rivera is back; her new project is Con esa misma mirada which seems to be a mini-series, the second season airing on Vix.

She looks good...

Diana
 

Karsu

Kat, I think your question about Mert perhaps not being Hasan’s son is very intriguing! Hasan speaks of one son, an evil son. This back story is going to be interesting!

I loved Filiz figuring out who Hasan is! You could almost see the wheels turning in her head.

I loved watching Atilla and Karsu! She has found her voice. Both gave as good as they got. It is a perfect match, but I fear it has no long-term future. :(

A.MAR #48 Parte 1 Notes from the Couch

Meche's Less than Excellent Adventure
Oliver tries to avoid Javier's provocations saying he is not bothering anyone by being at the club Javier says he is bothering him and punches him. Oliver hits him back Gonzalo jumps into the brawl on the dance floor. Oliver, Javier, Gonzalo, Meche and Yazmín all end up in the lock up. (I still don't get why Meche and Yazmín got locked up) Fabián shows up to get them all out even Oliver except for Javier. He later tells Oliver he didn't like him putting his daughter in danger a second time. Oliver insists he was defending her. Gonzalo agrees to that but Fabián is even less happy that his father got involved in the melée. Gonzalo says he only wanted to take Meche out dancing.

Fabián visits his daughter at the inn and gives her some fatherly advice on staying out of harms way. She says that Oliver was defending her. As her eyes glaze over, he stops the lecturing and tells her she is welcome to come home whenever she wants. She says she is better where she is. He hugs her before he leaves. She doesn't resist.

Meche gets home early in the morning with a tale to tell. Her daughters are happy she got out and had an adventure of her own. Suddenly, it is . . .

Azul's Birthday!
Sergio calls Azul to wish her a happy birthday. He willbe by for her to take her to the Public Ministry to get her name changed legally.

After he hangs up, Juanjo teases him about being the most desirable bachelor in Mexico who now has a daughter. Sergio assures him that he is only doing the happy family routine to please his father so he can get complete control of Alpha Pacífico. Juanjo suspects that Sergio must have developed some feelings for his daughter. Nope. Sergio can't stand Azul. He thinks she is awful. He is really after her mother.

Sergio takes Azul to get her name changed and attends her birthday party. He gets her a new cellphone. Iker and his foster mom Francisca show up. Before blowing out the candles on her cake Azul says she had three wishes. Two happened already. She wanted Iker to come to her party and he did. She wanted her father's name and she got it. The third wish she isn't talking about because she is afraid if she does, it won't come true but it has to do with her mom and dad. Sergio hugs Azul and Estrella for a photo. Estella shrinks from his touch. In the meantime . . .

Adriana is talking with Gabriel and Marina. Tomorrow is the court date. Gabriel has to be on his best behavior and stay away from Iker. Only then he will have a chance at the hearing. She interviews Marina about every facet of her life that she can remember or has discovered under the ruse that since Marina is Gabriel's partner, she will be spending a lot of time with Iker in the household. They need to be able to show that Iker will be living in a safe and adequate environment and that Marina and Gabriel's relationship is stable. Marina tells all she remembers from getting hit on the head to talking to her mother's publisher's daughter. She knows her real name is Antonia. She knows she has a sister. She knows she was pregnant and had a baby. She worries about that baby wondering where they are and how they are being cared for. Adrian says that must really be hell for her. . . .

Brisa sends Gabriel a photo of Iker from the party. When Francisca goes to the washroom, Brisa calls Gabriel to meet her and takes Iker to the restaurant? inn? so he can see the boy. He is shocked but overjoyed to see Iker. Iker jsut stares at him. Francisca notes Iker is gone from the party and she and Estrella leave the house to go looking for him.
 

A.MAR Parte 2

Fabián: the Proverbial Dog with the Bone
Erika chats with Fabián to find out how much he knows about Sergio's business dealings in town. She doesn't see Sergio as any kind of threat. It is a good thing he is doing for the school and the fishermen. Fabián doesn't agree. He is hiding something. Nobody gives you something for nothing in return. Erika says she does trust Fabián's hunches so maybe there is something there. She is on his side. She adds that it must be hard for Estrella with him being Azul's father. Fabián reminds her that they would be going through NONE of this if Erika had not contacted Sergio in the first place. She justifies her actions one more time by saying she did it for Azul . . . Blah, blah , blah!

Fabián makes a personal visit to the new Alpha Sur offices that just opened in the area. Gonzalo has warned him that it could cause problems with Estrella. Fabián insists that he cannot abandon their town and people. He ends up not getting beyond the lobby.Nobody is willing to give him the information that he wants: What is Alpha Sur doing in the area? One of the people he talks to is Juanjo who immediately calls Sergio to tell him that Fabián was at their offices asking lots of questions. He said he was going to talk to Porfirio the port captain.

Fabián returns to his office and is grilling Porfirio about what kind of business Sergio is planning on creating in their town. Porfirio is offering no details. He only says it will be good for everyone and give their area a push in the right direction.

Sergio comes in and tells Fabián that if he has any questions about his business, he is the one he needs to talk to. Fabián says that Porfirio confirmed that they were planning a business for the area. It has to be enormous. It has nothing to do with enlarging a school. Sergio acts offended when Fabián suggests that bribing officials might be in play and he has Porfirio in his back pocket. Fabián thinks Sergio is afraid because he knows that something underhanded is going on in the area. He will not allow him to make a financial killing at the expense of the people that live there. He will do anything to protect his people, his town. Sergio has news for him! If he wants to be with Estrella, he will be with Estrella. If he wants to build a hotel, a stadium or a whore house in this town, he will because HE CAN. He turns and leaves. Fabián follows him out proclaiming that their conversation is not over. Sergio says for him it is finished. He pushes Fabián and tells him to get lost. Fabián grabs him in a head lock. Of course, Estella and Azul are walking on by and Azul goes crazy as Sergio milks the situation with some extra drama of his own.

Perla and Valentín Tell the Truth
Valentín has a way to let chicken-hearted Pascual down easily. He wants Perla to go to Pascual's and burp loudly at the table and then tell his religious mother that she doesn't believe in God. Perla refuses to play cave woman and thinks that Pascual deserves the truth. Sooner is better than later so he doesn't come to love her more making it even harder.

Perla and Valentín agree that today is the day when they need to tell Pascual and Matilde the truth and break up with them.

Pascual wants to talk about what color to paint the bedroom when Perla finally insists that she has something important to tell him and does. She tells him she is very sorry but she can't do it anymore, it is over.

Valentín tells Matilde he has to break up with her because he will never love her as much as she loves him. She reminds him of the deal they made. She put her profession at risk for him. She arrests him for obstruction of justice in his role in hiding Iker from the authorities.
 

A.MAR

Another gem Jarifa!

Your masterful translations shed light on so much and added to my enjoyment of this action packed episode. Splendidly done amiga.

I howled at "Valentín has a way to let chicken-hearted Pascual down easily. He wants Perla to go to Pascual's and burp loudly at the table and then tell his religious mother that she doesn't believe in God. Perla refuses to play cave woman..." which of course I hadn't understood. Just fabuous! I also didn't realize Perla (finally) told Pascual "it's over"! No surprise Matilde did not take Valentin's rejection lightly! Actually it was very much in keeping with Matilde's character. :)

It was obvious Adriana's grilling of Marina was delving too deep. Naturally, Gabriel (not the sharpest tool in the shed) was annoyed because she was going off topic but didn't stop to consider why.

Gabriel should never have acknowledged the picture Brisa sent him. But of course he did and consequently, Brisa defies logic (and law) spiriting Iker away from the party to see Gabriel. I'd hazard a guess this will not go well at the hearing...

"Fabián: the Proverbial Dog with the Bone" was perfect. He has good instincts but is running into one brick wall after another. Bad luck follows him yet again as he instigates another fight with Serio in full view of Azul!

Gonzalo just wanted a peaceful evening and a dance or two but alas it was not to be. I smiled when Fabian came to bail out all the brawl participants (although I agree there was no reason for Yaz or Meche to even be there). Gonzalo had quite the bruise on his cheek; I fear his son's bad luck is rubbing off on him. I did like Oliver taunting Javier saying something about Gonzalo being his sugro :)

Looks like the roof caves in tomorrow!! Yikes.

Jarifa, thank you so much...

Diana
 

A.MAR

Diana, this was quite a packed episode, wasn’t it? Glad you found the recap useful.

I agree that Gabriel should have just ignored the photo from Brisa. He just doesn’t get the message.

Considering that Pascual isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed either, I wonder if he is going to misinterpret Perla’s “It’s over” and apply it to something else since she didn’t spell out what “it” was referring to even though we know it was their relationship.

I couldn’t believe how cold Sergio was when he was talking to Juanjo about how he felt about Azul. Poor thing is going to end up hurt by her daddy dearest.

After seeing Gonzalo in the fight, guess that Fabián is just a chip off the old block.

Sure “looks like the roof caves in tomorrow.” Should be good!


 

Karsu

I’m confused about Kadir. Tell me if I have this right: Atila was in hiding from him, though Kadir was in jail. So he must’ve been in hiding from Kadir’s men. I had the feeling Hasan was paying for Atila’s place, and for two guys to protect him. I had assumed Hasan also was in danger from Kadir, and I was surprised that Hasan wasn’t in hiding after he got out of jail.

Kadir got out a while ago, so the threat was increased. Not long ago, Atila’s men discovered where Kadir was staying, I think with the idea that they would find him and kill him. Now Atila comes to confront his father and triumphantly tells Hasan that he knows where Kadir lives. But then Hasan delivers up Kadir, all beaten up, and in the hands of Dilaver. I didn’t get what Hasan said to Atila – it was either rendir or rendirse, which have different meanings. Did he mean did Atila want to surrender to Kadir, or was he asking if Atila wanted to off Kadir? At any rate, Kadir was taken away and presumably killed. So my question is if Hasan so easily got his hands on Kadir, why didn’t he do it sooner?

Why is Atila mad at Dilaver? Well, it sounds like he forgives him.

Back to the party. Why only two guests? What was Hasan mixing up? If it had raw meat, he shouldn’t be feeding samples to the guests. Later, here we are thinking Filiz is going to open the wrong door when she’s looking for the bathroom, and will see Atila there. But no! She’s in the kitchen telling the cook it needs more nutmeg. The cook is very gracious about it, considering Filiz doesn’t know the regional cooking.

So now Atila is going to go his way, and tells his father he’s resigning as his son. What will Hasan do about that? I loved the scene in the car where he and Cedvet decide they’re going to go straight and lead decent lives. But they’re so used to solving things with violence! How will they quit that? Well, maybe taper off bit by bit, and besides there’s Reha to deal with. Too funny!


 

OT

The Angelica Rivera series is a remake of Mirada de Mujer - Televisa did it very recently, but I forgot the name. It's the one where the older lady discovers that her husband of many yearsvis cheating and she ends up dating someone younger.
I haven't checked it out, but I bet a lot of people are curious to see her back on screen.
 

Karsu

Maggie, the Kadir story line has confused me all along so I can't help.

Yes, quitting the mafia cold turkey is too hard, they need to back off little by little. Very funny scene.

Also liking the new Karsu. Irmak let's her know Reha is back in business with Adnan so he has no way. Irmak had a good point that Tilsim needs other outlets besides school. She misses her friends and ballet. So find her a ballet school and enroll her. Karsu says it's too expensive. Stick Reha with the bill, he doesn't even pay child support. So she calls him and runs his movie night with Hande. Hande just rolls her eyes when he complains that she expects me to pay for ballet. He wishes his kid was more like a friend of his. When they go shopping the kid gets nothing because dad says there is no money and kid just accepts it.

Lale needing time to break the news to mom about getting divorced makes me wonder what plan is percolating in her brain to sabotage his plans?. I noticed annulments aren't suggested in Dizis. Is this a cultural thing? God forbid a man admits he hasn't had physical relations with his spouse? Dondi, can you shed light on this?
 

KARSU

Noticed a typo. no way = no money (in regards to Reha.)
 

A.MAR

Jarifa, OMG yes: "I couldn’t believe how cold Sergio was when he was talking to Juanjo about how he felt about Azul". So stone cold! Utterly heartless.

He doesn't love Estrella; he isn't capable.

Lots of fisticuffs here. Frankly, I wouldn't mind in the least if both father and son team up to pummel Sergio into the ground. Not a fan of violence but there are exceptions! :)

Diana
 

OT

Adriana Noel, that recent remake sounds like Si Nos Dejan from a few years back, IMO an excellent novela. It would be fun to see Rivera again.

Babachita
 

A.Mar

Thanks Jarifa, I enjoy your excellent storytelling, which also clues me in to what I miss in translation. I had just been wondering of Sergio was that devoted a father. I started to wonder when he was mad about having to spend money on the school. A rich, devoted parent would be happy to help his child’s school. But I was still shocked when I read he didn’t like her at all. Although at this stage of the show I have to agree, although she has her nice moments!

Brisa is like a dog with a bone. Is she really trying to help Gabriel and win him back? She never warmed up to Iker and it seems she wants Gabriel to herself with no child coming between them!

I wonder if Adriana is going to decide to get rid of Marina. If she tried to kill her once I don’t think she’ll depend on the amnesia to keep her safe.

In Fabian’s defense, Sergio did push him first. But I think Estrella will end up parting from him, temporarily. I just hope she doesn’t let Sergio take his place. Although that cringe gives me hope he’ll never win her over.

Liz
 

Karsu

I never understood the Kadir storyline either. Just that Atila was hiding from him and his men. Which makes me think he still has to hide. I can see Cedvet keeping the bookstore and actually having customers come in.

I’m confused about Karsu. So she knows the whole story but still will get back with Atila once he’s divorced. I thought she was very anti-mafia.

I thought Hasan had told Filiz to invite friends. I thought she’s bring her daughters and her niece. It would have made more of a party. It was funny how Filiz ended up in the kitchen!

I’m hoping, if Adnan’s business really is shady, that Reha goes down with him. Both sisters will be free to do what they want.

I wonder if there will be someone for Mert. Although Turkish shows probably don’t follow the telenovela rule of everyone needing a mate.

Liz

 

Karsu

I remembered this morning: When Kadir was riding home from jail he said that Hasan killed his nephew (?) and that now he’ll find out what it is to lose a son. So that must mean that Atila was his target all along, not Hasam. But how would Hasam know that and know he himself didn’t need to go into hiding?



 

Karsu

Liz – I don’t get it about Karsu either. Not only does she now know he’s mafia (though apparently he’s going to give it up) but also he has a different personality. He doesn’t have the sweetness she saw before.


 

A.MAR

Liz, I was surprised that Sergio was that open to expressing how he really felt about Azul even to Juanjo. As much as I dislike the kid, I hope she never finds out.

"I wonder if Adriana is going to decide to get rid of Marina. If she tried to kill her once I don’t think she’ll depend on the amnesia to keep her safe." Now that could be an interesting twist.

Yes, this was strike number three for Fabián even though Sergio did start it this time. Estrella appears to be at her wit's end with him whether it was his fault or Sergio's. I could see a separation at this point as all of the plot lines are heating up. Fabián is so easy for Sergio to play. He is lucky Sergio hasn't filed assault charges against him.
