MI verdad #63 part 1

Aitana tries to convince Nuria to turn Iñigo in but she doesn't want to rock the boat, she's hoping for an uncontested divorce and she doesn't want to put the girls through the pain of learning what their father did. Aitana had told Nuria in a previous episode about her having been violated. She tells Nuria her biggest regret was not telling the authorities after it happened. She tells Nuria Iñigo will hurt other women, but Nuria thinks he is only after her

Clem and Zac read the letter. I started typing it out almost word for word then swiped out of this page by accident while scrolling back to my dictionary tab so you now get the abbreviated/abridged version with my twist. I can't risk losing it again. It starts out saying if you are reading this it means I've met my maker. I could never accept you as my half sister. Your mother was no more than a mistress/slut to my father. I brought you to the hacienda to keep you close since I couldn't legally void the will and to mange your inheritance. But your place is always as a servant, like your mother before you. Even if we share the same blood we are not equal and never will be. If you get this letter I expect you to sell your portion to my son's for a low price and move far from my family. You don't deserve anything else. Ricardo Lizarrága.

Zac, who read the letter aloud is irate, as usual, but Clem is cool and collected. She knows what her father wanted (wow she sure was won over to his side easily, I would have wanted some love and acknowledgement while he was alive).

Aitana calls Karime after leaving Nuria's. I had no luck convincing her, but sooner or later I will figure out how to stop him, I swear.
Three new servants come for inspection from Eloisa. All middle aged somewhat frumpy women that won't make her suns wild with lust. The cook asks about what routine is expected about what to cook. Eloisa says show me a menu if choices. I don't have the time to make daily menus (ah the life of the rich, she needs all her time to plot and scheme and bad mouth people.). Belinda has been in attendance at the meeting. Eloisa tells her to show them their quarters. Belinda says, for the record I really miss Clem and Micaela. Eloisa rolls her eyes. Next I have to find a chauffeur. Micaela wheels her suitcase in as she's getting ready to leave. Belinda hugs her goodbye.
 

Mi verdad #63 part 2

Zac and Aitana walk in the trails outside the hacienda. Ricardo was trash he tells her. Mom's holding firm though.

Rolando has a mom that lives in Argentina

Micaela tells Eloisa here's my suit ask for your inspection. Eloisa says open it, but Luciano comes in and says no. Leave it. And about your severance pay. Eloisa says no, she quit she gets no severance. Luciano says she worked for us for years, this is a thank you payment. Come with me to the office and I'll write you a check.

Gael and Juventino ask how the meeting went with the notary. She says 70% of everything went to Ricardo and 30%to me. Juventino isn't sure how easy it will be to get it from Eloisa, but Clem says Luciano is on our side. Juventino is excited! We're rich. Does that mean we can buy a bigger house for my telly?

Ceci comes home to a pensive Nuria lost in thought about what Aitana told her. Ceci asks what's up and she tells her. Ceci is also adamant she should turn Iñigo in.

Iñigo is at a gym. He's stalking the Laura he found on social media. He wants to join the gym on the recommendation of some Lorena. She told him her friend Laura Salcedo recommended it to her. The gym manager says ah yes, she is here early every morning. Her trainer is...do you want to join, I'll set you up.

Ceci says if you denounce Iñigo no jub will let him have the girls and you get an immediate divorce. Nuria thinks he is to rich and connected so she won't.

Bruno comes into Luciano's office. Luciano heard from Armando about how many important people she identified. Bruno is so proud of her and her bravery. That's why she is going into the WPP. None of the other girls were willing so Tomàs gets away with it (I have a question about the WPP, wouldn't it occur after the trial? ). Bruno tells Luciano he's totally in love with Caty and wants to go with her. Luciano says if that's how you feel, count on me to support your decision.

Rolando has a mother that lives in Argentina. She's coming for a visit and Rolando wants Belinda to meet her. She's not wanting to.

Bruno now has a calling to get into social work helping other women that were victims. For the first time in his life he feels like he has a purpose. I finally feel like I can settle up with my past. Luciano asks what he is referring to. What past debt do you owe. If you tell me will that help you.

Belinda is breaking up with Roland. He's heartbroken. He adores her. (Got booted off YouTube TV, too many users. Will finish later).
 

Mi verdad #63 part 3

Yup, she says, I don't love you, just like you as a friend. He thinks she's reacting this way because of her abduction. After what my father did for you! Belinda gets mad, he's the mayor, it's part of his job saving me and the other girls. He apologizes, but I love you. She still breaks up with him

More talk between Luciano and Bruno with Bruno hinting at things but not spelling it out and Luciano supporting him though he has no idea where he is coming from.

Discussion amongst the Lizarrágas about the inheritance. They are owed millions. Of course Iñigo, Mateo and Eloisa are up in arms. Luciano points out that dad ripped them off. Eloisa points out that if Clem signed something without reading or understanding, that's on her. Bruno and Luciano are on the same page feeling dad was unjust.

Micaela bids farewell from Clem and juvenile. Keep me informed about the inheritance story.

Luciano and Bruno leave the salon. Iñigo asks what is mom going to do. She's not going to give them anything, she's working on it. After Iñigo leaves she tells Mateo to do what he proposed immediately.
Mateo breaks into a locker in the ranch office , puts on gloves and removes a knife from it, wrapping it in a plastic bag.

Luciano calls Nuria. He apologizes for not calling sooner, he was involved in getting Belinda. Nuria understands. He imagines what she went through is similar to Belinda's ordeal. He supports her and the girls. Nuria says thanks your the best in the family and she cares for him a lot, ditto from him.

Aitana brings Eloisa tea in the garden. Eloisa hopes she'll get a good report from the Dr and she will retake the reins of the family. Aitana feels she's likely cured and as a result she plans to quit as she will no longer be needed, her job is done. Eloisa wants to keep her on. Aitana says she has other plans and Eloisa makes a comment about her being Zac's girlfriend and the tension between the Castillos and Lizarrága family is an issue.

Juventino is trying to figure out how many 30%of the rooms in the hacienda amount to. Clem laughs at him. Eloisa will never allow us to move in. They would sell it first. Clem mentions the difficulty they had as a couple. Juventino sweet talks her and praises all her virtues

Aitana ,if you change your mind let me know. Aitana asks for the night off to go to dinner with zac. Eloisa permits it and tries to find out where she's going.

Juventino promises to correct all his failings, he promises. She gives him another chance. Luciano calls.gael sees a post that Rolando is single. He's happy.

Eloisa calls Mateo about the dinner in Matlan that Zac and Aitana are having. She doesn't know where, but he can figure it out and do what he planned.
 

MI VERDAD

Your recap was so informative and well written Kat. I'm so grateful for all that you covered and so very well. I missed the beginning so your astute observations were very appreciated especially as I would swear there were a few scenes I didn't see so thank you...

Ricardo Lizarrága, what a horrible human being!

It was just a matter of time until Belinda broke up with Rolando...I wonder if Tomas will now feel free to try and hurt Belinda...

It seems Bruno is finding his way and I'm glad for him. I like Caty very much (the actress was exceptional and perfectly cast; no nepotism there). :)

There were a few additional scenes at the end that I will note but I am unable to provide little detail.

Juventino, Clem and Gael meet with Luciano and Zac. They seem to come to some sort of understanding...

Larisa talks with her doctor, I believe something is going on with the baby.

Micaela arrives at Aitana's mother's house; she welcomes her warmly. She inquires about Belinda and then hurriedly explains her interest when Micaela looks a bit confused.

A creepy scene with Mateo at a restaurant, staring at a picture of a bull talking on the phone with a happy Jimena.

Luciano welcomes Sofia who is a trauma specialist who will be working with Belinda. He introduces her to Aitana but is quite cold to her which does not seem to go unnoticed by Sofia. Sofia talks to Belinda about her trauma and depression; Belinda is very emotional (understandable!) and cries.

We see Zac walking down stairs at a restaurant (likely where he's meeting Aitana) shadowed by Mateo, who calls Ximena. Obviously Zac is being set up and I'm very nervous about the knife I'm assuming Mateo still has on him.

Eloisa is in a snit about the meal she's been served and indignantly calls Aitana, asking her to fix it. Aitana tells her she is going to be late but Eloisa insists. Aitana leads the girl away as Eloisa smiles evilly.

MI verdad #63 part 4

Luciano explains to Clem and family that the ranch is in financial straits currently because of the theft. He asks them to leave things as they are for now until the ranch recovers.

Larisa talks with a doctor. He wants her to get other studies done in Mexico City to determine the physical disability of the baby. The tests need to be done now and results sent back in 15 days.

Clem asks what do you think Zac. He agrees it would be best to wait. Juventino says now you are a partner in the business, Luciano seconds it.

Mateo calls Ximena to ask her to dinner in Matlan at a fine restaurant. She's giddy with delight though he's not sure when or where they are going. He'll keep her informed.

The Castillos have a pow wow and decide they will wait. Juventino mentions the hacienda as the others shush him. Luciano says he'll get an answer about that in a few days as he and mom and brothers aren't in agreement with him.

Micaela makes it to Aitana's Mom's house. Miriam can't wait to hear stories about Belinda which Micaela wonders why Belinda. She covers and says because Aitana talks about her a lot. As she takes Micaela's suitcase to show her her room, Micaela stares at the house with a strange look.

Juventino says now we have no paychecks we are living on our savings. Luciano will deposit a generous amount in their account.

Luciano welcomes a lady, Sofia , to the salon. She's a therapist for Belinda. Aitana is a bit upset that he's hired someone without consulting her(the mom). Aitana tells Sofia the most important thing to address is the trauma from the kidnapping and Luciano says that's for the therapist to decide. Sofia agrees with Aitana, first the trauma, then well address the eating disorder. Sofia will talk to Aitana later about what she's observed. Luciano escorts her from the room but is distant and all of with Aitana as he excuses himself.

Sofia gives Belinda advice.

Zac arrives at a restaurant. Mateo follows him down the stairs, calls Ximena and says he'll get her in 5 minutes, be ready.

Eloisa does not like what the new cook Claudia, brought for dinner. She hollers for Aitana. Go to the kitchen and help Claudia to make it the way I like it. Aitana reminds her she has a date but Eloisa is adamant. Aitana says let's go to Claudia as Eloisa has a smug smirk on her face.

(This is my copy and paste attempt).
 

Mi Verdad

Thanks Kat, Great recap. And thanks Diana, for the additions. Eloisa deliberately detained Aitana, which has me very worried. With Mateo, Ximena, Zac and a knife it can only be bad. It’s so easy to set Zac off, it Mateo wouldn’t risk himself. Is he going to sacrifice Ximena? I thought he loved her!

I like Rolando. If Belinda had only waited until his dad was exposed she’d have the perfect reason to break up with him!

I’m glad Bruno has found a purpose. I sure wish he had told Luciano what he witnessed. Luciano would have figured out Aitana’s secret.

I couldn’t understand everything the doctor said to Larisa. But I think it was something with the brain. I could be wrong.

Tomas knows Katy is the girl they need to worry about. I hope she has protection!

Apparently 30% of the money the ranch is earning belongs to Clem and Zac. They’re not working now so don’t have an income. Luciano is going to give them some money but they have to wait until the ranch is back to where it was before they get the 30%. It seems like she was supposed to be getting an income from the ranch from the time her father died, but the half brother did something. And I don’t know what she signed years ago. The business end of telenovelas always confuses me. I thought she didn’t get it until Eloisa died, but I guess that’s not true.

Kat, thank you so much for that detailed recap. Hope that you're feeling okay .
Hmm...what is up with this new storyline about icky Inigo stalking new character Laura at the gym ? Where are the writers going with this new development? I hope it has to do with Inigo's anvil !!! Susan

Yikes Now Mateo is ready to use that knife on Zac. Will Ximena sacrifice hZerself to save Zac? Susan

Thanks, Kat.

I liked . . .

Luciano insisting on writing Micaela a check in spite of his mother's protests and being fair to Clementina.
.
Juventino and Clementina deciding to give their marriage another go.

Ceci telling Nuria that she is doing her daughters no favor by not filing charges and telling them that their father raped her and adding that she has a habit of letting herself be intimidated by Iñigo and that is why he always wins.

Bruno trying to do better.

From the results of the genetic tests she has already taken, the doctors suspect that Larisa's baby could have a birth defect. (I didn't like hearing "genetic" tests) He explains there are more than 400 birth defects from slight to severe. She is clearly upset.

Diana, I agree that Zac is being set up.

Liz, I also wonder if Ximena going to be sacrificed to some degree in order to frame Zac.
 

MI verdad

Jarifa, oh I hadn't thought of Mateo Framing Ximena,for knifing \ killing Zak. We will have to wait until tonight . Susan

Jarifa, I've been thinking about "...if Ximena going to be sacrificed to some degree in order to frame Zac". I fear you are right; she is in for a world of hurt, even more than she's already suffered.

MI verdad

Tonight's episode will be a sort of surprise for me as it's not one I could find on Dailymotion, nor could I find 62. Lots of finale versions available but I refuse to jump that far ahead. So I have to bite my tongue on how I respond, but I had a theory about Laura (which I discovered is true) when she appeared on the scene. It will be interesting to see if anyone else has a similar feeling.

Thanks for retrieving my part 4 Jarifa.
 

MI verdad

Kat, the writers wouldn't have introduced the new character Laura if she is wasnt an important plot point in this tale of avarice and evil. Can't wait to see how the story unfolds . p.s. I've had enough of juvenile Juventino and his big tv. Susan
 

Mi Verdad

Kat, I cannot thank you enough for your clarifying and informative recaps. I miss so much of the dialogue but you fill in all the missing blanks.

I too did not understand what the doctor said to Larissa. Thanks everyone for the comments.

Mateo is a real psychopath. I hope he gets caught and does not harms Ximena. Eloisa is showing herself to be even worse than I thought. I can sense that her end is approaching, I just wonder who will do it?

Lester
 

MI verdad #64 part 1

Belinda acknowledges to Sofia, the therapist, that she does need help so is a successful first therapy session.



Aitana coaches Claudia on how Eloisa likes her food. Belinda comes in and says I'll do it, you go to your dinner date. Awkward moment when Luciano enters the kitchen.

Zac waits for her at the restaurant ( what happened to a date picking you up, does Aitana even have a car to get to the town?). She sends him a text explaining she is running late

In Mexico city Miriam pumps Micaela for more info on Lomeli, Iñigo and Mateo. She explains that Aitana talks to her about them. Aitana doesn't trust Iñigo nor Mateo. Micaela says Mateo is the worst of them all (as we mostly all agree).

Mateo and Ximena arrive at the restaurant. Ximena asks Zac what are you doing here (he's already seated at a table foolish girl, he didn't follow you). Mateo makes some comment about him buying champagne, insults fly about his grandmother the slut and her bastard daughter so then punches start flying. Mateo draws the knife and as they wrestle he knifes himself in the stomach. Aitana has arrived in time to see the aftermath. Ximena accuses Zac of killing Mateo. Mateo is holding the knife in his stomach so I guess the fingerprint will be explained away by that fact.

Eloisa has a nightmare. Did she feel Mateo being stabbed, are they that much in sync? She checks her phone for a message from Mateo but I don't think there are any new.

At the restaurant Ximena is in a panic and Aitana is doing first aid on Mateo, tells Zac to call an ambulance, let them know he's lost a lot of blood, tells Ximena not to touch the knife as she wraps her jacket around it. We learn Mateo is 34 years old (which puts Bruno in his early thirties, and the age difference larger than I thought between him and Aitana). Mateo would have been 15 or 16 at the time of the incident so Bruno really was quite young. No wonder he was so messed up.

More stories in Mexico, Belinda was such a sweet loving little girl. Miriam is absorbing all the memories she missed of her Belinda.

Luciano knocks on Belinda's door. Do you want some tea or anything. He's at loose ends. He admits he loves Aitana to her. Belinda says I knew it.

At the restaurant mateos vitals are not great. Ximena accuses Zac of wanting to kill him with his knife, Zac insists he has no knife.

Belinda gives dad relationship advice.

Aitana calls Zac out on his hot headed defense of his mother. You let him provoke you. Zac insists it wasn't his knife it's at the ranch somewhere at his house or the office. Aitana says she has to call Luciano to tell him what happens.

Luciano tells Eloisa what happened, he's going to the hospital. Eloisa insists on going with him. Belinda tells Bruno who is also heading to the hospital. He's sure it was a fight about the inheritance. Belinda says or Ximena. Bruno says I know the two of them. Killing each other is what we can expect of them. They both head out of the room and meet abuela and Luciano in the hallway. Luciano wants Belinda to remain home. She's afraid, but they say she will be fine there.

At the hospital Ximena can't go back with Mateo. She lashes out at Zac and blames him some more as Zac it wasn't my knife. Aitana tries to control Ximena.
 

Mi verdad #64 part 2

Nuria and Juanjo discuss her divorce case. She wants it done fast but that will take time, unless she reports Iñigo for violating her. She still won't do it (,this is getting old).

At the hospital it's Eloisa's turn to rip into Zac. He says things aren't as they appear. She says it appears you tried to kill him. Get out of here. Aitana drags him away. Does Eloisa tell Aitana her new job description will be caring for Mateo or did I misinterpret what she said?.

Nuria explains more why she wants to protect girls from how awful their dad is. Juanjo wants to take more photos of her injuries to preserve as evidence.

Another hospital scene which I'm sure you all could figure out.

Gael has come to visit with Belinda. He wonders where everyone is and learns if the fight. He calls Zac to find out more. He will stay with Belinda until Aitana returns because she has to tend to his wounds. (As hot headed as he is I'm sure he's nursed his bruises on his own plenty of times. I would get back to Belinda myself,.).

Bruno has found out some info on Mateo. The Dr will speak to them after the operation. Eloisa wants to go for coffee to get away from the undesirables here (Ximena). Luciano says please! Bruno wheels her away. He apologizes to Ximena for his mom. He wants her side of the story. Who started the argument. Ximena admits it was Mateo. He said hurtful things about Clem and Zac. I don't know when the knife was drawn. It was horrible.

At Zac's place he can't find his knife. But my knife has my initials on it so they will know it's not mine. Aitana thinks the meeting and provocation at the restaurant is suspicious. Zac thinks it's just what Mateo would do because of his perverse personality.

Belinda and Gael flirt a bit in the salon. He hopes it's ok to be there alone with her and she says it's fine. They both make clear their single status from their exes. Belinda thinks she wants to be solo for a bit until she gets over her ordeal. Gael says Mom says time cure all ills.

Bruno can't get a hold of Iñigo. Eloisa wonders where he is. She's not sure where he's living. She tells Bruno about him want his inheritance now so he can move away. Bruno shakes his head in disgust. What did you tell him. Not a day before my death. I laughed at her next line. No one understands how I sacrificed to keep a united family.. Bruno says we aren't small children anymore mom. Our interests change. She's still going to keep a firm hand on the reins. Call Iñigo again she demands.

Iñigo is at the upscale club. Gaspar's there also. Typical bar scene with pretty girls they buy drinks for.

Or scene as they work on Mateo. I would have thought he would have jabbed himself in a less lethal spot. It appears Eloisa is thinking the same as me.

Larisa looks at photos of babies with birth defects. Papa calls. She explains there is something wrong with the baby. He says everything will be fine. The baby has to be born so the Lizarrága family forgives me. Larisa tells at Dad about his attitude.

Dr tells the family the blow to the head when he fell wasn't grave, but the stomach wound was deep he lost a lot of blood and will be in ICU for 24 hours until he stabilizes.
 

MI verdad #64 part 3

Gael and Belinda have fallen asleep on two sofas. Aitana arrives home and wakes Gael to send him home and Thanks him for staying with Belinda. She tells him Zac is fine but she does know about Mateo.

Eloisa says that Zac has to pay for what he's done. Luciano encourages her to go home and rest but she's staying. So is Ximena, which earns her a dirty look from Ximena.

Aitana calls Luciano to see how Mateo is. She tells him that Zac did not bring a knife there, his knife has his initials so it would prove it's not his (nobody has more than one knife in telenovela land?) Luciano is a bit upset that she is defending Zac at this time while his brother is fighting for his life. Also, the author have the knife so we can't check it.
Nuria is at work. A receptionist receives a call from Juan Jose and says his name which catches Nuria's attention. She asks the receptionist about it. It's Juan Jose, the bosses lawyer and friend. Nuria asks his last name. Palacios.

At the gym a trainer is working with a woman, the Laura that Iñigo is stalking. Iñigo shows up and interrupts the trainer Santiago and tells him he was recommended to him. He asks Laura if he's good. The best. Inigo eyes Laura's figure and agrees. I think he arranged to be trained at the same time as Laura. Bruno calls. Iñigo answers, why are you bugging me. Como? He's on his way.

Nuria calls Juanjo. Did you get me this job,? Tell me the truth. He admits he put her name forward as a possibility for the job, but she got it on her own merits. She doesn't believe him. Your boss doesn't give charity positions. You got the job because you are qualified. Believe in yourself! She smiles at his words.

The Dr tells the family Mateo is awake and better. You can see him . Ximena asks if he asked for her. The Dr says and who are you. Eloisa says she's nobody. We are wasting time. Bring me to him. The Dr apologizes to Ximena, only family can see him, one at a time. Luciano calls Aitana with the news. Iñigo arrives at the hospital. Bruno sniffs him. He reeks of alcohol.

The call to Aitana is cold. He imagines she will call her novio with the news. She says yes and hangs up.

Zac is in his locker at the ranch office. No knife!

Eloisa visits Mateo. He feels weak. He underestimated the weight of Zac driving the knife so deep. Eloisa was so worried she would lose him. Hierba mala nunca muere, Mama (a weed never dies). That's a new phrase to me. She tells him he took a huge risk for the good of the family. I always do mom. Thanks to you we are saved she tells him.

Bruno gets a call from Caty. He misses her so much. He's thinking about going with her. Seriously she asks. Very much so. You will walk away from everyone? He tells her he has nothing here. I've spent my life hoping for a new start. I can do that with you.

Armando calls Luciano. His comrade grabbed a video of Tomàs manipulating a witness which is very damning. He's being blocked from access to the others. They surmise someone higher up is involved.

Zac is being schooled by Gael and his folks on his short temper. He provoked me mom. What's bothering me is I can't find my knife. I was sure it was in the ranch locker. I bet Mateo planned this Clem says but why. I don't know but I'm sure it's not good for us.


 

Mi verdad

Thanks, Kat.

These episodes are really getting exciting as we head to the gran final.

When Larisa tells her father that if there is something wrong with the baby, she doesn't want to have it, I thought what a convenient plot twist to bring up the abortion issue that always appears without fail. Anyway, it was good to hear that she doesn't feel like she has to have the baby so HER FATHER can be forgiven by the Lizárraga.

I wasn't happy that Mateo got the better of hot-headed Zac. Guess Zac has had that luxury of reacting first and thinking later until now. Can't stand him any more.

After hearing the sicko conversation between Mateo and his ever adoring mother, (talk about enmeshment) I wonder what the next step in Mateo "the weed's" (loved the proverb popping up) plan is going to be. If he goes to the police, Clementina and her whole clan can make public that they are all one big family.

I am looking forward to seeing what the anvils are going to be for Eloísa, Iñigo and Mateo. Here is hoping that they are all dispatched to the great beyond in appropriate ways. If Zac is going to continue being such a noodge, he can join them.

Where is Urban when we need her for her insights and an anvil page? I miss her.
 

Mi verdad
Hola all, back from my month in Mexico. Kat, can’t thank you enough for the recaps that helped me to sort of follow along. And appreciate all the commenters, helps too.
Some things I don’t understand though. Why is Micaela hooked up with Miriam? And how does framing Zac for stabbing Mateo affect Clem’s inheritance and “save” the family? Don’t get what Iñigo is up to at the gym, but not particularly interested in him at this point. The Iñigo/Nuria drama has gone on far too long.
Clara

 

Mi Verdad

Thanks Kat, a great recap with all the details. Mateo is really crazy, he almost dies to save the family. And his mom agreed to this crazy plan! Zac’s initials are on the knife, I didn’t realize that. There’s no way anyone will believe he didn’t bring it since it’s obviously his. I wish I could feel sorry for Ximena, but she just doesn’t have any people smarts. I hope Aitana believes Zac.

I can’t figure out Laura. At first I thought Inigo saw her while on Aitana’s social media and he’ll use her to find out about Aitana. But if he was just scrolling and saw her and then finds the gym, the trainer, that’s strange. My thought is he’ll end up hurting her and that will make Nuria report him. Didn’t Aitana tell her if he gets away with it he’ll do it to someone else.

How strange that Eloisa felt the stab wound. They really are unnaturally close.

Miriam is not being very discreet with Micaela. Nobody would be that interested in the people their daughter works with. And know so much about them either.

It was sweet of Gael to stay with Belinda so she wouldn’t be alone.

I hope Bruno does go away with Katy. He deserves happiness.
 

MI verdad

I'll try to answer Clara's questions. Micaela went to Miriam's because Aitana suggested it would be good for Miriam to have a roommate, or at the least Miriam is willing to have her in her house until she figures out what she'll do next. When Aitana learned she quit with no severance package offered her mom's place so she could make a fresh start in a different city.

Framing Zac will cause the family to waste resources defending him or I'm sure you can guess their ulterior motive.

Liz, some daughters do gossip with their mother and talk all the time so I do get that Miriam could know a lot. I'm always curious about other people's lives so I understand where Miriam is coming from. She should tone it down and ask less pointed questions though.

I'm also confused how Iñigo discovered Laura, searching Aitana wouldn't have been a common link to the two. I know the answer but I can't spoil it for you all.

I agree Zac is irritating at this point (and most of the time throughout this show) and fighting for his mother's honor at a fancy restaurant was uncalled for.

The stab was not supposed to be life threatening. Mateo underestimated how scrappy the fight would become. He did not anticipate Zac falling on top of him and driving the knife so deep.
 

MI verdad

Kat, thank you for another excellent review of all the drama . I missed the first few minutes and was shocked to see Mateo lying on the floor with the knife in his stomach . I didn't expect that. Will the writers ever let us into Mateo's creepy room and reveal all his BSC crimes ? Yes, that's one big weed . I liked the saying about a weed never dying . I guess our saying would be " On!y the good die young ."

I am done with Ximena and her screeching at Zac . She is obsessed with BSC Mateo despite being warned.

I liked loyal Rolando , but Gael and Belinda seemed destined to be together from the start.

I've also had enough of Nuria not Reporting nasty Inigo's abuse.

Laura must have been introduced into this story for a reason , but what is it ? perhaps, Kat, your theory is correct that Indigo will abuse her , and then In I go will finally end up in jail since Nuria will not report him .

It seems that the writers may reward long suffering , tormented Bruno will receive a HEA. I hope so .

I think that At the finale, the people who actually know how to raise cattle and run a ranch will own that ranch . Farmers are heroes. Susan



 

MI VERDAD

Kat, thank you for your excellent recap. I often have a hard time following so am very grateful for your insight and clarity. "Zac waits for her at the restaurant ( what happened to a date picking you up, does Aitana even have a car to get to the town?)" was an astute query as I was wondering how she got there!

"When Larisa tells her father that if there is something wrong with the baby, she doesn't want to have it, I thought what a convenient plot twist to bring up the abortion issue that always appears without fail" was exactly right Jarifa.

Liz, Susan and Clara (welcome back) I also appreciated your comments.

My honest reaction after last night's episode was one of sadness. The worst laid plans usually go awry don't they?? Mateo and Eloisa conspiring turns my stomach. The thought of Eloisa knowing her son was going to be injured and not doing everything within her power to stop it was mind blowing. I put Eloisa on the same (low) level as Mateo. As others have said, they are uncomfortably close and their relationship is unnatural...

I hope Bruno leaves and finds his happiness.

What a sordid mess.
