TAN CERCA DE TI, NACE EL AMOR #31 Part 1
Notes from the Couch The "Blow by Blow" edition
In Search of the Informer
At the shop, Facundo, Marcos, Hugo and Eleazar are discussing who could have turned over the motorcycle plans to Nolivos. Facundo keeps coming back to it being Marcos who must be the rat. Marcos thinks that nobody can be excluded from being under suspicion including Hugo and Facundo's son Eleazar. Facundo insists it was only the two of them, he and Marcos who were privy to the plans so Marcos must be the thief. Marcos punches him in the face and the fight is on as they hit the floor. A mechanic runs for Joaquín to break up the fight and he does.
Marcos explains his position to Romina as she puts ice on his face. He wasn't going to allow Facundo to accuse him of being a traitor, He is up front, honest, decent, he breaks his back at his job and he has even put up with being passed over for a promotion. If that jerk Facundo says anything to him again, he will punch him out.
Joaquín meets with Facundo and Marcos. As Facundo still rails on about the culprit being Marcos, Joaquín says he believes both of them are innocent. He makes it clear that he will not tolerate them fighting among themselves. Facundo will not be satisfied until they discover who sold them out.
Facundo tells his son he is sure Marcos is behind it all. He is getting his revenge for not getting the head mechanic job. Eleazar is not so sure. Marcos is an honest guy. Facundo asks who else it could be then. He comes up with the idea that it could have been Luis. Eleazar reminds him he died in the accident and was Joaquín's best friend. Facundo informs him that Joaquín discovered the Luis was involved in some shady business so that opens up the possibility, for him anyway, that Luis betrayed them all. As Eleazar thinks about it, Facundo smirks.
Facundo surprises Kassandra in her office waiting for her and wanting to know if Joaquín suspects anyone yet. Kassandra has concluded it was Facundo who sold the plans to Nolivos. She tells him that Joaquín is not suspecting anyone YET.
Hugo tells Eleazar that he isn't blaming Marcos or his father but if you really thought about it, his father was the last one to join the team. Eleazar defends his dad and adds that anyone could have betrayed Joaquín even Luis. Vale overhears that and tells Eleazar to say what he said about her father to her face. There is only silence.

TAN CERCA DE TI Part 2
Diego runs into Hugo and asks what is wrong. Hugo tells him about the theft for the plans for their new motorcycle. Nolivos has already produced it and released it. Diego is angry that Joaquín didn't tell him. Hugo suggests he try to lend Joaquín, who has been trying to put out the fire, a hand.
Facundo reminds Kassandra that if he goes down, he will be dragging her along with him. He will give Joaquín that romantic photo of her and Luis. She asks what is it he wants. He wants her to use her talent for spreading poison and make sure Joaquín blames someone other than him. He then presents her a gift for her cooperation from Nolivos. It is a necklace with a huge tear drop cut Kashmiri sapphire framed by diamonds. She admires it. He informs her that those sapphires are more rare than diamonds. He adds that it is very expensive just like her but not indestructible. She smiles.
Eleazar tries to apologize to Vale blaming it all on his anger in the situation. She won't accept it. If he is against her father, he is against her.
That evening, Kassandra talks with Joaquín about the situation. He doesn't know that Diego is listening at the door. Joaquín certainly doesn't suspect anyone from the shop. Kassandra asks about Luis. Joaquín says he worked on the plans with him. He could never believe that he would have done something like that. Big Mouth AKA Diego busts in accusing Joaquín of saying his father was a traitor. Joaquín corrects Diego. He didn't hear the conversation. He explains the situation of the stolen plans. Diego wants them to find who is responsible but not to ruin his father's name. Joaquín explains that the design plans were shared between three people and him: his father, Marcos and Facundo. Kassandra adds that there was a FOURTH: DIEGO! Diego asks if he is being blamed. She says no but asks if he uploaded the plans to the internet at all or to to the cloud. Diego gets even more upset Joaquín makes it clear they are not blaming anybody but trying to save what his father built, his company, his legacy, the company that also belongs to Diego. Joaquín tells Diego that he needs him working at this side. He is smart. He has ideas and vision. They have to get new sponsors or they are going down. He is putting Diego in charge of the next presentation for their investors. He wants something with images, information, history and passion. Can he count on him? Diego insists that he can.. Diego smiles and he and Joaquin shake on it.
(Later, Diego tells Vale about how excited he is with his new assignment and the fact that Joaquín had the confidence to give it to him. He wants Vale to help him since she knows more about motorcycling riding more than anyone he knows

TAN CERCA DE TI Part 3
Kassandra thinks it is terrible that Diego speaks to Joaquín like he does. Joaquín tries to explain that Diego is a teenager who is in pain just having lost his father. She suggests that maybe Diego needs some space. Maybe studying abroad would be the key. Joaquín stares at her and explains that Diego has just committed to work with him at the company. He is finally motivated to do something. He has no plans to separate him from his family. Kassandra tries to back track. . .
The Verdict on Aurelio
Consuelo, who is sitting picking the rocks out of the beans at her table, calls Vero to let her know that her father told her that he only had one woman and that was her mother. When she died, that was it for him. He decided that nobody was getting into his heart. Vero is writing and article called "Love after Love" about new loves in the lives of older people. Consuelo makes it clear that for her the only loves in her life are her children. Vero concludes that "Love after Love" isn't so easy.
The Third Degree
Joaquín is chatting with Vero thanking her for her support. She notes that he has done so much for the house and children that she will always be on his side. He then brings up that he doesn't think that they have talked enough about the "accident" that happened that night. She smiles and says it was only the result of the lights going out. Kassandra overhears and demands to know what accident they are talking about. Vero says it was when the lights went out and she and Joaquín .. . tripped over each other getting to the fuse box. Kassandra mentions that Vero always seems to be having accidents. Joaquín tells Kassandra it is urgent that they get to the office. Vero will look after Isaura.
Kassandra suspects that there is something suspicious going on between Vero and Joaquín. Isaura says let her handle it and she will find out.
Isaura asks Vero to change the bandage on her ankle as she lounges on the couch! Vero gets to work. She asks Isaura if she is married. We find out that she married Kassandra's father and that they were separated when she was very young. Vero tells her she is very beautiful and elegant and must have her share of suitors. Isaura admits to many great romances in her life but now she is alone. She asks Vero if she has somebody special in her life Vero says no. She has a suitor though named Facundo.Isaura has heard of him. She then starts to play mind games saying that a person's hands, no a person's whole way of being can communicate if a person is in love. She asks If Vero has a secret love. No is the answer. Vero goes for a bandage and Isaura says to herself "Consuelo, you are not as good of a liar as you think you are." Isaura prides herself on being good at sniffing out what others try to hide.

Iván confides in Romina and tells her that his ex needs a lawyer. who is good, pretty and cheap. She calls her father Aurelio who happens to be with his friend Polito who points to himself when he hears the requirements.

TAN CERCA DE TI Part 4
Iván brings Polito AKA as "his eminence Apolonio" to confer with Olga at her cell. Olga tells him that Borja made her sign all of these papers. She didn't know what she was signing. They were something about imports and exports. She didn't ask any questions. She was a woman in love and then Borjas was gone. Her lawyer Polito seems to have more faith in solving her legal problems with his devotion to St. Jude (Saint of lost causes) and astrology. She complains to Iván who answers Polito was who he could get. Her opinion soon changes when Polito bears his arm with a St. Jude tattoo on it. His arm is never wrong. He extends his arm and then pulls it back and proclaims that she is telling the truth. She likes that. Polito leaves her with a religious card of St, Jude.

Jarifa, this was marvelous. You described every single scene in a perfect mirror image.
Facundo proves the best defense is a good offense.
Loved Polito as "his eminence".Great character and I so enjoyed his scenes.
I've had to type this several times as I'm having such trouble trying to type on my phone.
Jarifa another splendid summary. Thank you.

TAN CERCA
Diana, it is so tedious typing on the phone. Thank you for commenting anyway.
This was a really good episode with a bit of plot development and I do admit I always enjoy a good fist fight. Joaquín was clearly NOT pleased with Kassandra wanting to send Diego away. Could her days be numbered? Then, Diego turned out to be happy finally getting Joaquín’s trust to do some real work. I was so happy that Polito appeared. What a fun character!
More later.
