A.MAR #34 Parte 1 Notes from the Couch . . .

Gabriel Cannot Seem to Escape Brisa's Claws
Gabriel explodes at Brisa when he finds out that she never got her family's approval to give him the money. After listening to her lovesick ramblings, he tries to make it clear ONE MORE TIME than even though he is grateful for what she did for him, it doesn't mean that they will be getting back together. He insists that they go see her family where he insists on taking the blame for it all. Brisa will not allow him to do that and tells her family that it was she who took teh money for Gabriel because he needed it. Gabriel assures the family that he sees it as only a loan and will be repaying is ASAP. Meche gives him the side eye.

Gabriel talks to Marina and tries to restart their relationship. He says that he NEVER asked Brisa to steal the money for him. Marina is frustrated because every time she tries to get closer to her, he pushes her away. He wants to start fresh but she has no plans to go camping with him and Iker until Iker comes out and begs her to go. Before she goes home to pack her bag, she informs Gabriel that he better not think that Brisa is going to want nothing in exchange for her getting him the money.

Gabriel picks Marina up in his truck and, of course, Brisa sees them. She stands in the middle of the road to stop their way. She asks where they are going and when there is no answer, she steps aside and tells them to have a lovely day. Perla tells her to give it up already with Gabriel. It is clear he is done with her. Brisa predicts that in two days they will be back together.

Later at home, Brisa's sisters and mother tell her off for taking the money. Then Estrella and her mother hit the nail on the head. Estrella tells Brisa that she betrayed the trust of the whole family. She thinks Brisa took the money thinking that Gabriel would be grateful to her and come back to her. She needs to let him go. Meche tells her that love is a beautiful thing but when it is over, you need to close that cycle. One must keep their dignity above all else because it cannot be bought for all of the money in the world.

Sergio Hatches a New Plan
Sergio shows up at the Contreras' house to "help" and offers to pay Estrella's debt with Fabián who is somebody he doesn't trust. Estrella refuses. Meche is no help thinking it might be a good idea but Estrella refuses to give in.

Sergio takes Azul out to Erika's restaurant. He enlists her help in their mutual goal of getting her mother join them in forming a family.

Sergio returns with a suddenly bratty Azul and tells Fabián, who is kissing Estrella when Sergio darkens her door, that he wants to talk to Estrella alone. He then asks how Fabián's truck is doing. Fabián says it is coming out of the garage tomorrow. Sergio warns him to drive carefully especilaly on the highways because accidents happen . . . After Fabián leaves, Sergio tells Estrella that he is serious about wanting to get to know his daughter better and spend more time with her. Since there is a project in the area that his company is working on, he is planning on moving to town. He has no idea how long it will be for. Azul is overjoyed but not Estrella.
 

A.MAR Parte 2

Valentín: Stuck in His Own Personal Hell
Valentín is with Pascual's phone alone as it charges and is taking advantage of the situation to listen to his pathetic messages and erasing them. Pascual comes in the room and notices that there are no messages on his phone. He asks Valentín what the content was of all the messages he said he left him. Valentín lies and says that he never left him messages but kept calling and hanging up when the call went to voice mail. Pascual asks what was it he wanted to tell him. Valentín answers nothing important. He just missed him a lot and now he is with Perlita. Pascual lights up talking about Perla. He sees his life as "before Perla"and "after Perla "arriving on the scene. He feels like he has a new life like our Lord in his resurrection.

Erika is Still Flapping Her Forked Tongue
Erika tells Fabián that she only wishes "the best" for him and Estrella. He has some doubts about that due to all of the hatred she has sowed in the past but ends up thanking her for her good wishes but also warning her to stay out of his and Estrella's lives. Erika has one last comment. She thinks that his relationship with Estrella will not be so easy since Sergio seems set to get more involved with Estrella and her family.

Yazmín Pushes Ahead
Yazmín is tempted to take maybe a half a pill to take the edge off but seems to control her addiction as she remembers being with her father as a kid happily fishing from his boat.

Yazmín tells her father that she wants to get a job. She wants to fish. Oliver is teaching her the basics. No, she doesn't want to work for Estrella. She wants to work for him. He happily agrees but she has to keep up with her school work and he gets to call the shots.

Everything Else

When Fabián goes to his father complaining about Sergio, Gonzalo diagnoses the problem. Fabián is jealous.

Marina and Estrella share notes in their fight for love. Marina makes it clear that it was never her intention to hurt Brisa. Brisa and Gabriel were broken up before she and Gabriel got involved. Estrella says the same thing happened to her with Fabián. He had already broken up with Erika.
 

A.MAR

Another good one. : )
Didn’t like bratty little Azul in this episode.
Poor Gabriel with Brisa predicting she will be back with him in 2 days.
No more Valentín moping around puhleeze!
Sergio was a real creep telling Fabián that “accidents happen.”
 

A.MAR

Jarifa, thank you for another wise and wonderful recap.

"Gabriel Cannot Seem to Escape Brisa's Claws". No he certainly can't, can he?? Brisa is utterly selfish, obstinate, unfeeling and thinks of no one but herself. She is determined to get what she wants no matter how she does it or who she hurts in the process. I was surprised she stepped away from the path of Gabriel's car packed with Marina and Iker. Yet, "Brisa predicts that in two days they will be back together". It's official; we have been warned...

"...a suddenly bratty Azul" nailed it! What happened to that sweet, angelic little girl? How convenient Sergio now "needs" to be near town...

Gonzalo correctly diagnosed Fabian's "problem". The green eyed monster...

Yaz made positive strides forward. Good for her for resisting taking the pill. I was surprised but happy she wants to work for Fabian.

I was struck by a few glaring hair issues tonight. In Sergio's first scene, his hair was really poufed and seemingly infused with "Just For Men" as there was almost no trace of gray. Yet, in each subsequent scene, his hair was back to being streaked with gray and a bit less deflated from the initial scene. :) Then, in the last scene when he was talking with Jaz, Fabian's hair and eyebrows seemed to be jet black. Were the hair stylists messing with us or is it just me??

A fantastic recap Jarifa!!
