MI verdad #57 part 1

Aitana tells Luciano the history of how she discovered her daughter was alive after he jumped to the conclusion she came to the hacienda because of Belinda. He thinks she was lying to them the entire time (she was but not about Belinda). She discovered the truth from her mother when she went to visit her.

Nuria gingerly walks down her stairs. Ceci comes in. Did you kick Iñigo to.the curb she asks. Nuria admits she didn't. The girls did well at Grandma's, unfortunately ceci's call to Gael went poorly. As Nuria heads to the door to leave for work Ceci notices the split lip Nuria got from Iñigo.

Luciano says what the clinic did was illegal. Aitana agrees. She explains when Belinda told her about her mother being in a coma and her birthdate she got a DNA test. See, here are the results and the date I received them. I can't bear finding my daughter and losing her again. Luciano now better understands her despair. And Luciano asks the million dollar question, whose the daddy?

Ceci feels like an idiot leaving Nuria alone with Iñigo... Nuria says it's not your fault. 8 asked you to leave with the girls so they wouldn't see dad leaving with his suitcases. Ceci asks did you report him. Nuria says no. He's my husband still 8 can't claim he raped me. Ceci says he lied. It's a crime if you don't consent, here and in China! Nuria feels such shame she can't stomach reporting him. I'm afraid he'll take my girls from me. Ceci hugs a crying Nuria.

Luciano repeats the paternity question and Aitana days I don't know. Luciano says you should have told her you were her mother so she wouldn't have gone looking for her bio mom and been abducted. Aitana has been beating herself up about this also and she says I'm so sorry. Luciano apologizes back at being so harsh with her. She was afraid how Belinda would react to learning she was her mother because of the father issue. Her conception was terrible event.

Ceci calls Juanjo. Nuria needs you as a lawyer and a friend. Juanjo asks what happened. She says the worst that can occur between a husband and wife.

Back to Luciano asking for answers from a weeping Aitana. She tells him the most likely scenario is that Belinda was conceived during a gang rape. He hugs her.

Poor Katy was the blood donor. She's furious she was forced to give blood to that horrible negro. Belinda comforts her. She's feeling a bit woozy and hungry.

Luciano is furious about what she has endured. She says for many years she was just half alive. Luciano asks why aren't you sure it wasn't one of the rapists. She says I also had a boyfriend. Luciano asks if she has been in contact with him to check if. He's the father. She says yes, they are awaiting the results. But Aitana says I realize it was never the fault of my innocent baby, she also is my blood. Luciano admires her fortitude. He imagines the baby brings back the awful memories ( I don't think this is helpful). She says yes but I got to know Belinda and I'm also glad you and your wife adopted her.

He says we are the parents of Belinda. She reminds him they are not a couple, but they are united in their love for Belinda. She asks him not to tell anyone about it yet until they figure out how to move forward. He promises to stay silent until she tells Belinda. She can't get over the fact that her daughter has been kidnapped. She can't bear the thought she is abused and has to live a life like she has lived. Luciano says they deserve the maximum sentence for what they do. But we will find her safe and sound.

Food is brought to Belinda and Katy. Belinda says it's not much but drink the water to rehydrate. Belinda doesn't want to eat, it will make her vomit. Katy says we have to eat to stay strong so we can escape.

 

MI verdad episode #58 part 2

Aitana sweats she never imagined when she came to the hacienda to care for his mother that she would find her daughter. Luciano says destiny is playing games with us. He mentions the violaters and having to tell Belinda. Aitana prefers to wait to see if her ex is the dad.

The girls agree to drink the water together (I'd be worried it's drugged). Belinda says why are you so nice to me. Because your uncle was nice to me Katy says. She hugs her and says I'll take care of you. (I think Katy may actually be in her 20s and could possibly be a match for Bruno).

Luciano reassures Aitana they will get Belinda back. He has confidence in Armando.doctor tells henchy 1 that negro is feverish and really should be in a hospital. Call Tomàs. Oh, he has a name, Horacio, as he identifies himself to Tomàs. I'm not sure exactly what was said here. Tomas says the family is searching high and low for her. You need to demand a ransom (I think). Horacio doesn't like this idea but is told to do it.

Luciano tells Aitana he needs to check on mom and tell his brothers about what is happening. Aitana says please tell me if anything transpires, no matter how small. He promises he will. But he can't resist telling her they should be together, she doesn't love Zac like she loves him. She says Zac remains in my life and Larisa in yours. He says Larisa is no longer in my life. Aitana says she will always be in your life if she is actually carrying your child. That catches his attention.

Rolando talks with someone, from the police department perhaps, about finding Belinda. He says there is nothing to go on at this time, unless a ransom is demanded. Rolando says that's what my dad said too.

Lots of Aitana and Luciano scenes tonight. This one is Aitana saying sometimes love isn't enough. Luciano disagrees. As he leaves to check on mom, Aitana recalls that Belinda told Rolando she was adopted. She's not sure if that's important to know. It's all clear to Luciano now and he'll let Armando know.

Well Mateo has enrolled Ximena is a real college and she's happy she's no longer trapped in his apartment. They walks together companionably, then mama calls. I need to speak with you urgently and he's off

Ceci meets Juanjo at a cafe and tells him about Nuria. He's furious. She asks him not to let Nuria know it was her that told him. He says leave it in my hands.

Bruno and Luciano are with Mama. Karime will take care of me. Aitana is very upset about Belinda. Bruno is confused about her concern but Luciano kinda smoothes it over. Iñigo and Mateo show up.

Aitana and Zac are out in the countryside where they tend to meet. She really hopes he's the dad. So does he. He hasn't opened it yet, he was waiting for her. And they break for a commercial if course as he opens his phone. (So if he's not the dad there will most likely be some matching since we are assuming Clem is the daughter of Grandpa)

The news is broken to Mateo and Iñigo. Mateo looks upset. Iñigo not so much.

Negative..they are both sad. Which of those wretches is the father of my daughter she cries?

Sure enough Iñigo is an ass. How can you pay a ransom. The ranch can't cover it, bla bla. Eloisa rebukes him. He says it's true mom. Luciano says hopefully nothing similar ever happens to your daughters (is this a foretelling of Belinda's parentage,?) Eloisa says I'm the boss here. Get out of here. He says I'll be back later.

Aitana tells Zac about what all went on with Luciano. He's mad. Did you tell him his brothers abused you? No, I didn't reveal that. Zac says I'll assume paternity. She says no



 

Mi verdad #58 part 3

Nuria's boss sends her home to rest. He's not buying the I hit my face on a door story. He sends Juanjo a text about it and figures her ex hit her.

At a different? car dealership Iñigo has the title of his car transferred into Gaspar's name and tells him our business deal is complete.

Gael tells Luciano and Eloisa that Juanjo needs to speak with Eloisa. They tell Gael to tell him not now, but Gael days he told me to tell you it was a matter of life or death. Juanjo storms in and tells them last night Iñigo sexually assaulted Nuria.

Zac talks to Karime about not being the dad. And now Belinda will learn one of her uncles raped her mother.

And back to the rapist Iñigo. Eloisa says you can't make those accusations. Juanjo says she has the bruises to prove it and I am going to encourage her to report him Luciano is agreeing.

In the kitchen all are upset about Belinda. Gael says Ximena went willingly with Mateo (Micaela insists he manipulated her). Gael can't imagine how horrible it is to be kidnapped.

Inigo comes barreling into the house claiming his car was stolen! Luciano greets him with a powerful right hook and a brawl ensues with Eloisa hollering for help. Juventino, Gael, and Bruno pull the fighters apart (not sure if Mateo was involved). Inigo says she's my wife and he's her lover. Juanjo says I have proof you destroyed my car, etc and I'm going to report you. Eloisa takes control.

Ximena calls Mateo because he hasn't called her. He says something terrible happened. I'll tell you this evening. She's like tell me now. I'll come out to the ranch. He blows up, quit acting like a capricious child. Stay away and I'll see you tonight.

Juanjo tells Eloisa he's not happy, but he'll leave. Iñigo insists he's lying. Luciano tells him abusing a woman is never acceptable. Everyone nods in agreement.


 

MI VERDAD

Tonight was one nightmarish scene after the next. Emotionally draining; stomach churning, heartbreaking and despicable. Kat, thank you for soldiering through this unrelenting, depressing, mired in muck episode to provide such a marvelous recap.

"Luciano tells him abusing a woman is never acceptable. Everyone nods in agreement". Little do they know this is one crime among many.

I thought the writers would surely have some empathy but nopis, Zac is not Belinda's father. We now echo Aitana's cry "Which of those wretches is the father of my daughter...? We know Lomeli's black heart, some of Iñigo's many sins (multiple rapes), but Mateo may well have others even more heinous including possibly, murder. All sickening options.

I thought the Aitana/Luciano scenes were very well done. I admit my eyes filled up more than once, especially after she told him about being raped. He was sympathetic and empathetic. Aitana courageously pooled all of her emotional resources together to tell him about Belinda. While I wish she had also revealed who she really is, but that might have been too much for him to process at once. Hopefully he will feel the same way when she tells him the rest of the story, explaining why she returned.

Do we know what Mateo was doing with that hypodermic needle or is it best we don't know?? Trying to hold all of his emotions in check must be exhausting. He is a powder keg, waiting to explode. I do not understand why Ximena has not left him.

Ceci is exhibiting real growth. She realized right away that Nuria was battered and was proactive in calling Juanjo. She truly loves her sister and it's clear she will be there for her, supportive and watchful.

Thanks again Kat for your time and superb attention to detail.

Diana
 

Mi verdad

Thanks, Kat.

Only a few comments since I am doing this on my phone.

Another incredibly dark episode but I cannot fault the production or the acting.

One would think that Ximena would have gotten the message already that Mateo isn’t going to be around 24/7. I agree with Diana, she should have left him already. Her insisting on going to the ranch to find out what was going on even annoyed me.

I was happy that Juanjo insisted that Eloísa knew what her dear Iñigo had been up to.

Iñigo worried about the finances of the ranch being in jeopardy if kidnappers asked for a ransom was beyond disgusting.
 

MI verdad
Kat, OMG...I don't know how you not only watched this episode but were able to recap it. I was looking forward to this show because I am a fan of Susana and knew many of the cast, but the increasing doom and gloom is dragging me down . I was so sure that the writers would give us one bright spot and make Zak Belinda 's dad , but no they decided to make the dad one of the awfuls. Then, they decided to drag out the danger and terror of the kidnapping . The only bright spot I see is that dreadful Negri is wounded and not able to abuse Belinda. Ugh . Where is the hope and light ? How will the writers bring this horror to a conclusion ? Will there be any HEAs? What anvils were chosen for so many of these villains ? Susan
 

Mi Verdad

Thanks Kat, that was a great recap, but what a heart wrenching episode. I can’t believe Inigo wasn’t going to let Luciano use the ranch money. Especially since he knows it’s his fault Luciano lost all his money.

I didn’t realize Inigo said his car was stolen. So is he going to report it to the police? I would think there’s proof it wasn’t stolen. He signed it over. I guess he figures his mom will buy him a new one.

I like the idea of Katy and Bruno together!

Liz
 

MI verdad

I am anxious to find out what anvil the writers have forged for Inigo. I want that pompous smile wiped off his face . Mateo will surely end up in jail once all his crimes are revealed likewise Inigo. Susan
 

Mi Verdad

Thank you, Kat. A very emotional episode.

To echo Diana’s comment, even though Lomeli is dead it’s still not much of a relief if he is Belinda’s biological father. The way she was conceived is horrendous. Aitana only told half of the story to Luciano. Before Lomeli arrived she must’ve assumed that good Luciano was really the bad Luciano. Gotta hand it to the writers for initially throwing viewers off with the same name thing.

Unfortunately Ximena isn’t smart enough to see that Mateo is emotionally and physically abusive. So I don’t know what will happen to her.

I hope the kidnapping storyline is resolved soon. I too could see Bruno and Katy end up together.
 

MI verdad #59 part 1
*Eloisa demands to talk with Iñigo alone. I don't want a single word to leave this house from any of you, do you understood. You are an asco ( disgusting person) Luciano tells him.
*Iñigo brings mom to her room. He says who are you going to believe! She slaps him and calls him an imbecile. She says you did it again to your wife. You're an idiot. Inigo says she's my wife so it isn't abuse. Eloisa schools him, taking a woman by force is abuse. He says it wasn't force. She wanted me.
*Aitana and Luciano discuss the fight. He says I couldn't control myself, especially after learning what you went through. She says I understand but violence begets more violence. He knows, he just couldn't control himself.
*Iñigo says I'll get Nuria to tell you the truth. Eloisa doesn't want him to drag their family name in the mud. She has a lover, that wired in our favor. Now you abused her she has the upper hand. Because of your stupidity we will lose, including your freedom and place in the family. You better fix this.
*Aitana tells Lucy that her ex isn't the father
*Bruno is taking it bad. He tells Karime that Iñigo is garbage. Karime says hopefully he will pay for it. Bruno can't believe he's done something so underhanded again. Karime questions his remark. He alludes to Iñigo mistreatment of Nuria in the past. He's overly affected because of Belinda and a friend that is being abused. He can't stand it.
*Micaela and Juventino discuss Iñigo. Juventino can't believe Iñigo would act that way. Gael comes in and says he certainly can. Once he visited Ceci and Iñigo had destroyed Juanjo's car. Micaela says poor Eloisa. She's so proud of her family name and now 2 of her sons are a blight on the name. Juventino says it just goes to prove money does not make a person good. Gael hopes their money and position will get Belinda home.
*Mateo talks to Iñigo in his office. You abused your wife. This won't go away like when you abused a stranger. Iñigo is furious. That woman never reported us. What happened. What secret do you and mom have . Mateo has a flashback. He's pouring gasoline around Adriana's house, setting it on fire with her and her dad inside. Mateo back in the present tells Iñigo his relationship with mom is a bit strained at the moment and he wouldn't be any help. Iñigo says I'll fix it myself. Mateo hopes so because if it comes out about that girl the whole family will go down.
*Karime walks outside with Aitana. Aitana is so upset about the abuse. Karime says why don't you report them. I can't, Luciano knows I was abused and he'll figure it out. I can't do anything until Belinda is safe..Karime has a napkin Iñigo used in his mother's room and she saved it for a DNA sample.
*Rolando is listening to reports about Belinda. His dad comes home and he asks if there is any word yet. The news breaks in with a report by Armando. Rolando tells his dad he met him at the hacienda, though they weren't formally introduced. Dad's mad he didn't tell him and stalks off.
*Bruno and Luciano talk. Luciano doesn't want to have to deal with Iñigo while he's worried about Belinda. Bruno hopes Caty ( I looked up the actress, the part she is playing is Catalina Mendoza and irl she is the 29 year old daughter of the producer of this show) and Belinda are together.
*Aitana thanks Karime for the napkin. They discuss whether Luciano will ever forgive her. Who would have imagined she would fall in love with him. When he finds out will he love me or hate me?
*Clem returns. She knows everything about her origins. She needs to see Eloisa first
*Tomàs calls Horacio. Change of plans. Get me the doctor. Tomas tells the doc, listen to me good...
*Armando calls Luciano. He's on his way with news. Eloisa is wheeled in. Bruno says you should be resting. She can't. Any news about Belinda. Clem arrives with her family in tow and slaps Eloisa. All these years you've treated me like a servant and I was your husband's half sister! Zac and I are also Lizarrágas. Shock all around!
 

MI verdad #59 part 2

Mateo makes his way into Nuria's house where she is sitting with Ceci. He accuses her of telling Juanjo and causing problems. Ceci runs out and comes back with a kitchen knife (that doesn't look very deadly to me, it's almost a butter knife). She threatens him and says she's the one that called Juanjo. (She should have recorded him on her cell and called the police imo). I'll kill you if you touch my sister.

Clem explains Bruno says that makes you my aunt and Zac our cousin. Zac wants nothing to do with the Lizarrága blood. Eloisa wants to leave. Clem says you always fall back on your illness. Luciano stops Karime from taking her to her room. Luc says to mom, you have a lot to explain.

Iñigo tells Ceci to drop the knife. She won't, she'd rather go to prison than let him hurt her sister ever again. Nuria tells him to leave before the girls return. He makes a snide comment and she shows him her bruise, the girls will believe me when they see this proof.

More talk between Luciano, mom and Clem.

Iñigo agrees to leave. Nuria is going to get a restraining order. She asks for the keys but he takes them from his pocket and taunts her
After he leaves they agree we need to change the locks.

Clem and family leave after Zac says having your blood is nothing to be proud of.

Nuria back steps again about reporting Iñigo. She can't hurt her daughters. Ceci says fine, but I'm taking photos of your bruises.

The doctor adds something to Negro's iv. Horacio and his sidekick ask what are you doing. It's a sedative. He's out of there.

Luciano calls the notary whose not there now. He explains to Bruno, Aitana and Karime that he found out that his father left two letters, one for mom, the other for Clem. They discuss the letter. Aitana is mad. Bruno understands, you are Zac's girlfriend.

Micaela brings Eloisa her tea. Mateo arrives. She tells him Clem discovered the truth. And your brothers know the truth.

Aitana finds Zac at their meeting tree. He's still mad. Aitana says there are good and bad in families. She agrees Eloisa and Ricardo are bad. But your grandpa was good. Zac wonders if grampa violated his grandmother. Aitana points out he took care of them and made the co-heirs.

Mateo and mom plot against Clem.


 

Mi verdad #59 part 3

Zac is going to quit his job like the hot head he is. Aitana tells him to think about it. Talk to your mom and make a decision calmly.

Mateo and mom discuss the terms of the will, looks like Ricardo managed Clem's inheritance. Not sure exactly what all is being said, but it seems Ricardo tricked Clem somehow.

More anger from Zac but Aitana is tired of listening to him while she is worried about her daughter. He calms down.

Juanjo visits Nuria and Ceci. She wants him to proceed with her divorce and resume their friendship.

Eloisa tells Mateo grandpa fell in love with the Indian. Her mother in law impeded a divorce so he couldn't marry her.

Iñigo goes to the hacienda office absolutely livid at Ceci.

Nuria just wants a divorce that lets her keep the girls and she won't press charges. She wants to protect the girls. Juanjo doesn't trust him.

Mateo brings up Ximena. Eloisa doesn't want to discuss her now.

Clem says if we'd had money earlier they would have had so many opportunities.

Eloisa reads a letter her his write to her before his death. It's full of hate for Clem. I welcome someone translating it, I'm tired...

Now I'm confused about Mateo and Iñigo argument. I did catch that Iñigo wouldn't accept the Castillo family sharing the same blood.

 

MI verdad

I watched this twice. I discovered I could catch a lot of the episodes on daily motion so I'm binging ahead. I thought by watching twice the recap would go faster. No such luck I think I got the will and letter information ok in my mind, but I'm not confident enough to write what I think was said so I'll leave it up to others to fill in my blanks.

Zac and his hot headed response to everything's is getting on my nerves.karime continues to be a great friend and confidant. I'm also getting tired of Nuria and her wishy washy way of dealing with her divorce.
 

MI VERDAD

Kat, your smart and savvy recap explained much that I missed. Your details and insights were so astute. Thank you for forging ahead, summarizing yet another grim, disagreeable episode.

Watching Mateo so callously and cruelly start the fire, locking Aitana and her father in the house was hard to watch. How many more has he murdered?

I'm fairly certain (and hopeful) that Tomas told the doctor to pull the plug (so to speak) on El Negro. I hope Rolando is paying attention to his father's words and reactions which speak volumes.

Ceci didn't wield a terribly dangerous weapon but her ire was fierce in and of itself.

"Karime has a napkin Iñigo used in his mother's room and she saved it for a DNA sample". Is there a lesser of two (three?) evils??

Diana
 

MI verdad

Diana, I think the lesser evil would be cousin Luciano for Belinda. She did not grow up thinking of him as an uncle and he's dead so can't further mess with her psyche. I'm still surprised that there was no link to Zac as we now know he is a Lizarrága. This brings up.two possibilities. Eloisa has a child by someone other than Ricardo, or cousin Luciano is related through Eloisa, or likewise he was a Cuckoo in the nest also. But with cousin gone Aitana will have a harder time proving who's the daddy unless she comes forth and accused them all and an exhumation is ordered to get his DNA.
 

MI VERDAD

Kat, your point that Lomeli is dead and therefore unable to be a constant, painful reminder (should he be the father) is a very good one. An exhumation order would be logical if Mateo and Iñigo are ruled out. I don't see Mateo alive at the end of this and predict Iñigo rotting away in jail for the rest of his miserable life...

"Eloisa has a child by someone other than Ricardo" is also a great theory.

Diana
 

Mi Verdad

Thanks Kat, I enjoyed your recap. This episode threw a little hope at us! Y first thought when the doctor put something in the IV was he was ending his life. Dead men don’t talk! Then the doctor hightailed it out of there. It looks like Armando must have a location.

Lots of action, I loved when Clem slapped Eloisa. I don’t know what was in the letter Clem read. But I am worried Mateo will get rid of Clem and Zac, maybe with another fire! Zac was infuriating. He’s not a mature adult. Just flies off the handle and often speaks without thinking. He will not be happy when he realizes Aitana and Luciano are together.

Nuri needs to press charges. Inigo must have chocked her. He’s dangerous. And his girls, that worship him, need to see what he did to their mother. I agree that the best thing is if the cousin is the dad. It would be awful to learn one of those two uncles is her dad. I’m sure she met the cousin but she doesn’t really know him.

Liz
 

Mi verdad

Thanks, Kat.

I have to admit that I really enjoyed this episode. What an excellent portrayal classism at its very worst! The hatred and prejudice was unbelievable.

Ah, the irony of it all! Aitana told Luciano that she admired Juanjo because he came to defend the woman he loves and Luciano answers her saying he would have loved to have defended her against his attackers if he could have. . .

The doctor (supposedly) sedated El Negro and told his henchmen to wait for directions from the mayor who is arranging to transport El Negro to a hospital outside of the country. Yep, he is out of there!!

At least Ceci is thinking: confront Iñigo with a knife, get lock changed, photo bruises, and arrange for possible police patrol that Juanjo is willing to pay for.

At least Juanjo is thinking with trying to talk Nuria into filing charges against Iñigo for the rape and battery.

Ah! Clementina and the will. Eloísa tells Mateo that there is no way to invalidate the current will that includes Clementina. She had five years after her husband's death to do that and that time is over. She didn't contest it because she didn't want Clementina to know her origins and have to deal with her publicly. Clementina (without ever knowing her origins in the first place) never was aware her rightful inheritance from her father (the house where she lives and some parcels of land) because Ricardo managed to sign a power of attorney to manage her inheritance. Ricardo then constructed his will in such a way that nobody would know about Clementina being a Lizárraga until Eloísa was dead. This was being done so Eloísa would not have to suffer the embarrassment of being related to Clementina.

Mateo tells his mother that they (he and she) have always been able to get rid of people who got in their way. Clementina will not be the exception. Eloísa puts and end to that saying that Ricardo never intended to get rid of Clementina. He didn't have the cold blood they have. So, he better not get any ideas. That would be counter productive.

The Letter:

Eloísa dear,
If you are reading this letter it is because my departure has occurred before yours. Forgive me for leaving in your hands the responsibility of Clementina.
You, more than anyone, knows that I tried every way possible to insure that she would not receive my father's inheritance but that was impossible. I did manage to sign a a power of attorney in order to manage her inheritance but upon your death, our children will have to give her her part. Because the four children are so different, they will not be able to do what you and I have done. I will never forgive my father for having fathered that bastard and having given me an Indian half-sister.

Eloísa's reaction: She cannot believe what her husband did to her. It was useless! With the truth coming out now while she is still alive, she is the one who is getting judged and criticized for his father's stupidity.

Mateo and Iñigo cannot deal with the truth that they are related to that low class Clementina. Iñigo makes a cautious exception for Ximena, also from the working class, as long as Mateo isn't going to marry her. Mateo damns the moment in which the truth was known!!! Iñigo is off to see his mother. He doesn't care if she doesn't want to talk to him because of the Nuria situation. She is going to hear him out. There has to be an answer because it will only be over his dead body that he will accept THOSE people into his family.
 

Mi Verdad

Thanks Jarifa, that letter is something else! And I am relieved that she doesn’t want Mateo to kill Clementina. I wonder what he’ll attempt to do. It sounds like Eloisa knows about the fire. I can’t believe how they feel about the people that take care of them, and keep their secrets!
 

MI verdad

Jarifa, a huge thank you. I knew some of the letter and the will, but I didn't want to get it wrong so I left it to your excellent translation. Lots of classism in this episode...
 

Mi verdad

Kat, Glad I could help. The will wasn’t real clear to begin with. I think this is the most brutal and extended talk about “class” I have heard.
 

MI VERDAD

Jarifa, thank you for your masterful additions. You unfailingly clarify so much. I'm reeling - the cruel classist sentiments (and actions) are mind blowing.

While everything was exceptional, these in particular stung:

"Eloísa puts and end to that saying that Ricardo never intended to get rid of Clementina. He didn't have the cold blood they have". She is evil and I have always felt she is at least partly responsible for the monsters Mateo and Iñigo have become.

"I will never forgive my father for having fathered that bastard and having given me an Indian half-sister". Truly sickening.

"Mateo tells his mother that they (he and she) have always been able to get rid of people who got in their way. Clementina will not be the exception". Chilling.

Finally, "There has to be an answer because it will only be over his dead body that he will accept THOSE people into his family". We can but hope...

Jarifa, thank you, thank you.

Diana
 

MI verdad

The more I think about it the more I feel cousin Luciano is the dad. His mother (or father) is Eloisa's sibling or cousin, since if there was another Lizarrága sibling they would have been included in the will of Ricardo's dad. Perhaps they call second cousins primo also, so Zac would not be related to him, thus no matches on the DNA with Belinda.

Wonder what happened to Clara. She said she was away for 2 weeks and it seems like it's been longer than that. I've been depending on Jarifa to clear up my confusion since she left. As I've said before Jarifa, I really appreciate it.
 

MI verdad

Kat, wow, thank you for recapping this simmering pot of evil . Yuck. Eloisa and her sons are full of prejudice and cruelty. I hope the anvils are dropped swiftly.It would be poetic justice for BSC Mateo to die in a fire . I think that Inigo will end up in jail . That will mean that Clem and her family and Luciano will inherit everything and the ranch will flourish with people who actually understand cattle and farming running things.
Hey, Rolando , wake up ! Your father is at the heart of your girlfriend's kidnapping.
Did Tomas tell the doctor to kill Negri? One would think that would be what would be best for Tomas .
I'm worried about Armando now that Tomas knows he is on the case. Yikes .
