Melena is looking thru pictures of Tino’s family on social media. She’s found their grand secret. Then we’re at today, where Aide plans to call Urbano to tell him she won’t work with Melina. Melina tells her if she does she has to pay back all the money and will be in debt again.

Rudolf is yelling at Nazario about how he was in the street where.Nazario told him to be when Gibron was killed. He might have accused Nazario’s because Nazario told him he needed proof. Clara Luz tells Nazario that Rudolf is upset because he spent that time in jail.

Scarlet poises and speaks as a friend records her. Someone wrote a bunch of nasty things on her blog and she’s losing followers. She peers over at Emi.

Melina says they work together and get along or she reveals the secret of why Lila left. Aide is worried about Tino either finding out, or being the victim, along with Aide. Melina seems to say she has plans for Tino to be with her, but I’m not sure.

Poor Tino, he blew another interview, this time he’s to blame!

Melina tells Aide her family was already in pieces when she arrived. She’ll expect an answer on her position tomorrow. Clara Luz and Rudolf come in and wonder why she’s crying. She says it’s nothing, just working through some details with Urbina.

Gisela accuses Melina of stealing her jewelry to pay for her fashions. Melina tells her she doesn’t need the help of her stuff to make herself look beautiful. Nazario texts in a panic because he’s worried Rudolf knows what he did. Melina tells him to calm down.

Rudolf and Clara Luz are telling Aide about Nazario’s and they think he should be fired. Prisma comes in and says Nazario’s needs to work from home today. Rudolf helps her get his stuff together. Aide tells Clara Luz about Melina being Urbino’s representative and how she’ll have to fave her every day.

PAPAS

Thank you for the fantastic recap Liz.

It was very hard to watch Scarlet ingesting that crud and her subsequent reactions and even harder to see Emi trying to crawl up the stairs. For a few moments, I really did think Scarlet might fall off the edge. Paulina should not have left them alone. "Emi tells I’ll about the group chat they have, Papa por Siempre. Bill thinks it’s a good idea but right now Aide needs him". Huh? Bill needs to stop running after Aide like a besotted teen.

I don't think I knew Prisma gave birth to the twins.

Good luck with Cheno telling Serena she can't be an influencer! Did he not see how excited she was?

"Melina is still telling Aide she has to work with her. If not she’ll tell the grand secret, which is the reason Lila broke off with the whole family". I readily admit I am chomping at the bit to find out what the deep, dark secret is.

Liz, thank you for explaining all of the conversations and actions. Well done.

MONTEVERDE #31, Part 1

What are your intentions toward Sister Celeste Andres asks Oscar? “Me gusta” Oscar stutters. Andres warns him off until Carolina calls him inside. A cute scene where Oscar and Carolina both put six fingers up indicating they will meet at 6:00, both smiling broadly.

Angelina tells her mother she is a married woman but Gloria is not impressed. “I am alone” Gloria whines getting weepy. My marriage is very important Angelina retorts; Juan David is my marido. Oh no, just then Manuel comes out in a white T shirt and checked boxers. Angelina is shocked as Manuel scurries back in the bedroom. Gloria tries to explain but Angelina says “por favor” practically rolling her eyes. Gloria throws in her face that they lied to her about Juan David being a millionaire. Another unresolved confrontation as Angelina flounces out and Gloria looks miserable.

Lucia and Rosalia are outside when Franco and Julieta drive up. Julieta pretends to faint and Franco picks her up as Julieta flashes a smirk in Lucia’s direction as Lucia and Rosalia stare, mouths agape. Lucia marches off to talk to them.

Gloria lambastes Manuel but he doesn’t see what the problem is: they are engaged! He wants to get married but Gloria says it’s an important decision. He pleads and then turns on the charm with some profound kisses and flattery that has Gloria preening away.

Julieta is in bed as she thanks Franco. He leaves (without kissing her I note). Lucia is waiting for Franco outside. “Mi amor” he starts. She tries to pin him down about the phone call but naturally he doesn’t know what she is talking about. She charges into Julieta’s room and accuses Julieta of lying but when Franco checks his phone there is no message. She angrily leaves as Franco glares at Julieta; Julieta cackles as the door shuts. Franco runs after Lucia; they argue, he says Julieta is alone. She asks him about Julieta’s doctor and says she is supposed to be three months pregnant. They finally end up hugging. He kisses her but there is no doubt their waters are troubled.

Eva talks with Father Gabriel about Julieta. She has a feeling the baby might not be Franco’s; Father Gabriel (having heard Lucas’s confession), looks very uncomfortable.

Franco is in a bad mood but he’s not alone. It’s contagious as an angry Lucas argues with Nestor…

Oscar congratulates Cárcamo and asks who he is engaged to; the answer is Doris. Oscar says this is the second engagement and I think he invites him to have the wedding there.

Hugo arrives and gives Lucas a cool drink and a torta. Seeing his mood, Hugo asks what’s wrong. Lucas doesn’t want company and shrugs his hand off his shoulder. Then he changes his mind, confiding in Hugo that the baby might be his. Hugo stares incredulously.

Andres apologizes to Moises. You aren’t my friend; you are my best friend Moises retorts. They indulge in slingshot practice.

Lucas tells Hugo what happened. Did you tell Franco? No is the answer. Hugo is not pleased…

MONTEVERDE #31, Part 2

Julieta is making herself at home at the kitchen table, having a sammie when Lucia arrives and tells her what she thinks calling her “mentirosa”. Julieta is not in the least bit put off. Lucia continues her tirade and finally pulls out her phone showing evidence of the call. But she is one upped when Julieta then pulls out her phone showing a picture of Franco (supposedly) snuggled against her shoulder (a picture she must have taken when he fell asleep the other night. They were both fully clothed), Julieta looks like she wants to cry “uncle” and looking very upset, walks out.

Angelina is comforted by Juan David when Father Gabriel arrives. Is everything all right he asks. No, is the answer. Father Gabriel looks like his patience is at an end! I think he says something about papers that I couldn’t follow.

Franco tells Eva about his dilemma; Lucia is the love of his life. Forgive me Eva says, but are you sure the baby is yours? Yes he affirms. They discuss the fact Julieta has not been in Monteverde long; I’m not sure if Eva asks how well he really knows her.

”Senora Gloria” Father Gabriel calls out Angelina and Juan David in tow. This casa is MINE the good padre says. Flourishing papers, he and Gloria argue, but she is undeterred. The police are mentioned. Angelina pleads with her mother; she has had it. Father Gabriel leaves.

Juanita immediately senses something is wrong with Hugo. He has a secret that he is hesitant to share. Juanita scoffs reminding him that she told him about Carolina. He agrees and spills the tea about what Lucas told him. She is supportive and promises to keep it secret.

Lucia confronts Franco. Did he spend the night with Julieta - si or no. He says he did but explains nothing happened. She tells him about the photo which of course he didn’t know about. She cries in frustration.

Nestor came to Rosalia’s for medical supplies but I could not follow their conversation.
Carolina comes to talk to Father Gabriel she mentions her sister but the volume fades out. Later, they talk about Andres; she shows him a picture of Carlos. She thanks him as he prays, eyes heavenward.

Franco returns to Julieta’s. He confronts her about the photo she showed Lucia. She gets weepy about him being the father of her child but Franco stresses he is the father but is in love with Lucia. Lucia is innocent in all this he says. He mentions she is three months pregnant but of course she is four. I think he wants her to go to the doctors with him.

Lucas has a bad attitude with Rosalia; she asks him to talk with and confide in her. He gives her lip and she leaves.

Oscar is sitting in the lush woods, by the river as Carolina arrives. Oscar talks about his dream, his feelings. He is a man with something on his mind and a question to pose. “Celeste” he smiles, will you be my novia? With a beaming smile, Carolina answers by removing his hat and kissing him.

Another excellent episode…With Lucas’ secret spilling out, will he tell Rosalia before someone else does?

Question: Guess who’s coming to town?? Hint: It ain’t Santa Claus. 😊

MONTEVERDE Extras parte 1

Thank you, Diana. This episode had so many funny scenes that I enjoyed.

Andrés informs Oscar that nuns are married to God. Sister Celeste is a nun and she cannot fall in love with anyone and nobody can fall in love with her! (so there!)

Before she storms out, Lucía accuses Julieta of having erased the phone call which, of course, she denies. Lucía is particularly angry that Franco believes Julieta and not her about he phone call. She is his novia. She asks when they had to stay the night in Zacatillo when all they were doing was going to a doctor appointment. Franco says that was the plan and then reiterates all of Julieta's issues. He doesn't understand why Lucía is so upset. She answers because Julieta drives her crazy. She is none the happier finding out that the doctor said that Julieta cannot travel to Perú for at least another 3 months. Franco professes his love for Lucía but she honestly tells him she doesn't know if she can put up with the Julieta situation for all of that time. He asks her to at least try. He will do his best to make things easier for her. She swears she called him. He believes her.

The good father tells Eva that there is nothing they can do to establish paternity of Julieta's baby until it is born and then they can do a DNA test.

Néstor lets Lucas have it for treating one of the ranch hands poorly. He tells him that if he is in a bad mood, he has no right to take it out on the guy. Lucas insists he isn't in a bad mood. Néstor tells Lucas to calm down and asks him what is wrong. Lucas asks since when did he start to care about what was going on with him. Néstor answers since he became his daughter's novio. Lucas laughs calling Néstor the "father of the year" and reminds Néstor how he rejected Rosalía when she told him he was her father. Néstor grabs him and tells him to be careful with how he speaks to him. He is nobody to judge him.

Cárcamo tells Oscar how he was blown away when he saw Doris. He thought that was the woman who was going to be in charge of his pay checks. Oscar says there is no need for him to spend his pay checks on the wedding because he is is going to pay for it himself.

Lucas tells Hugo that he had sex with Julieta right when she had just arrived in Monteverde before she began to go out with Franco. He didn't cheat on Rosalía because they were not novios yet and were on the outs. He hasn't told Rosalía because he knows he would lose her. He doesn't want to ruin his relationship with Franco.He only had sex with Julieta one time. Why rock the boat? Hugo thinks that Lucas has to come clean with Franco about Julieta. He has the right to know what happened. If he loves Franco as a brother, the time has come to show that he does.
 

MONTEVERDE Extras parte 2

The good father is shocked that Juan David and Angelina are living at the inn and not in the house that he gave to Juan David and that her mother has planted herself there. It turns out that the papers transferring the property to Juan David have not been filed yet, so the house technically still belongs to him. The good father is going to find those papers and confront Gloria himself.
He swears that she will be gone today or she will be dealing with the courts.

Eva does wonder about how well Franco really knows Julieta because ther are sone women who will use pregnancy to try to trap a man. He admits he really doesn't know her well. Also, Eva is disturbed by the fact that Franco never saw the doctor or heard what he had to say about Julieta's condition himself. Franco admits that he didn't go in to see the doctor because Julieta didn't want him too. It was too uncomfortable for her and he didn't want to add more stress to the situation. Eva says he needs to get a DNA test done as soon as it is possible. She wants Franco to know that he can count on her for whatever he needs whenever.

Gloria asks the good father, Angelina and Juan David if they plan on throwing her in jail or burning her alive in order to get her out of the house. The only way they will get her out of that house is if she is DEAD! Angelina gets exasperated and tells her mother if the house is that important she can have it! She is fed up! She grabs Juan David and they leave followed by the good father.

Néstor gives Rosalía a heads up about Lucas. There is something wrong going on with him.

Lucía has to explain to Franco that Julieta wants to separate them. She will not stop until she destroys their relationship. Franco assures her that will never achieve that. He is going to have a serious talk with her.

Franco tells Julieta there is no way that she is going to break him and Lucía up.
He insists that she apologize to Lucía for what she did to her. He wants her to do it right now. She complains but then says that she doesn't feel well enough. He says fine, then she will be apologizing to Lucía tomorrow morning.

Carolina tells the good father about Lucas now also knowing the truth about her and her sister and how he spotted Carlos in Zacatillo. He acknowledges that the situation is very dangerous. He asks what she plans on doing if Carlos arrives in Monteverde. She plans on hiding with her son. He knows they will have to be alert from now on. She shows him the photo of Carlos. He prays that God protects them by preventing Carlos from coming. She tells him, whether he knows it or not, that he has become their guardian angel.

Lucas tells Rosalía he wants to be alone. What is so hard to understand???
