Anonymous 8:22, you never know what’s going to take off. Maybe you’ll have better luck with Corazon’s replacement next week.

Anon: Turns out Mommy Arango was an EVIL sinister monster in those flashbacks.

Blue Lass: Catalina & Eugenio are likely getting major Karma anvils.
 

SABOR

Twisted Tomás angrily confronts Angela at breakfast demanding to know where she was the night before when he couldn't contact her. Unfortunately, she lies saying she went out for a walk rather than telling him it is none of his business. Anyway, he tells her that his grandfather finally gave him his due with the secret recipe for the wine. She has to remind him that it belongs to her, too, via the author Gonzalo Quevedo who was her grandfather. He is concerned that Mariano doesn't get his hands on it. It turns out that he cannot decipher the notes which are highly scientific on his own and DEMANDS her help. She FINALLY tells him not to talk to her like that. She advises him to first calm down and to ask her properly some other time. Otherwise, he can forget it. She leaves. Twisted Tomás overhears an announcement that Vicente makes to his workers that Mariano is now his partner. He goes crazy, gets his gun and proceeds to hunt Mariano down and confronts him at a a shrine to the Virgin. Twisted Tomás pulls his gun on Mariano. There is a fist fight and Twisted Tomás gets shot accidentally. Mariano takes him to get medical care. Lucero is left high and dry and emotionally destroyed at the church. Vicente and Segundo search for Mariano and find blood on the ground at the shrine as well the gun. They are off to the police station. Twisted Tomás arrives at a hospital here he is taken in for care. (Mariano doesn't think about calling anyone about not appearing at his OWN wedding??)

Loved:
Miguel putting the moves on Pilar.
Margarita ripping the pearls off of Lucero's neck only to have the strand break and the pearls fall all over the pavement.

Jarifa, thanks so much for the recap. I missed some of this episode . I noticed that the writers decided to stall a bit by giving us quite a few moments of bride to be Lucero in her bubble bath ...so I got up to get a snack .

When we saw Mariano and wacky Tomas twisting and turning on the ground , we knew that one of them was going to get shot, and I figured it would be Tomas. I expect we will now get to see Mariano have his turn in jail and Tomas's turn in the hospital...boo and hoo.

The classic car for getting the bride to the church was classy , but everyone is ignoring her as she gets out of the car and falls into a hole. QTH?? Susan
 

Sabor

I missed Margarita snatching the pearls off poor Lucero's neck. Yikes . Yep, Margarita is horrid. I hope her little dog is okay. Susan
 

SABOR

Thanks, Jarifa. Another derailed wedding — this tn holds the record. Looking forward to watching!
 

SABOR

Jarifa, I wasn't able to watch so am especially appreciative of your stellar recap.

"Lucero is left high and dry and emotionally destroyed at the church" conveyed such sorrow! Poor Lucero...

"Twisted Tomás" (perfect) turned the wedding into a botched boda didn't he?

I cannot wait to watch "Miguel putting the moves on Pilar". :)

I still have my company so likely won't be able to watch last night and tonight til Sunday. Something to look forward to.

Thanks again Jarifa!

SABOR

The highest high point: Moncho and Virginia are back together (albeit in secret still.) I’m not particularly invested in them as a couple, but he is head over heels for her and I want him to be happy.
 

Sabor
I like Moncho , but I am not a fan of Virginia . However , if that's who he wants , lets have a HEA for them. ...Susan
 

SABOR

Susan, I don’t think they’re going to ask either of us to be bridesmaids. 😆
 

Sabor
Blue Lass, think positive . Susan
 

"CORAZON"
Anon, Blue Lass & Co: Tonight's the Gran Final.
 

"CORAZON"
Super-short recap of this evening's Gran Final.
*Nutty Catalina shoots Crazy Eugenio, who FINALLY dies. We see Nutty Catalina institutionalized at the crazy house; she should've been put in prison for the crimes against humanity.

*Happy endings for the group of characters including Teresa giving birth to a daughter.

*The lovebirds get their happily ever after & make love before the closing credits come LOL.
 

"CORAZON" GRAN FINAL HIGHLIGHTS
Anon, Blue Lass & Co: My thoughts on last night's Gran Final.
*Eugenio FINALLY dies after Nutjob Catalina shoots him dead.

*We see happily ever afters for majority of the characters including Teresa, who gave birth to a daughter.

*Luz & Miguel got their happy ending following roadblocks.

 

Sabor
Can Tomas get any more disgusting? I wonder if he was switched at birth and isn't really related to Chata and Max. Or maybe Max isn't the father of Tomas.

The only happy couple so far in this TN is Diana and Javier, and they are so in love they ignore their daughter. Why is everyone trying to force couples to be together that have no love for the other person ( Moncho and Violeta. Clemente and Antonia. Tomas and Angela. And it appears Diana and Chata are trying to matchmake between Elisa and Chatas younger son in the beanie whose name I've forgotten, Miguel perhaps?)

Nobody has suggested getting Mariano a lawyer.

When the pearl necklace (which I thought looked tacky with the two strands not different lengths) wes broken I was waiting for Angela to pick up the pearls. At least Amparo was on the ball and collected all but one.


 

Sabor
Terrible Tomas is in the hospital , so will Mariano end up in jail ?
Kat, I wonder if Ampara picking up the stray pearl means something ???
Susan
 

Sabor

Susan, Ampara picked up all but one. Angela's mom picked up the single pearl which the padre witnessed and they had a discussion/argument about her selfish ways neglecting Rosa.
 

SABOR

Kat, good point Amparo being the one to pick up the pearls. They can be re-strung easily enough.

Sorry, but Filo was right and not the good priest. All of the trouble between Tomás and Mariano did start when Wishy Washy Angela arrived.

When she finds out about the shooting, Wishy WashyAngela wants to go see Mariano at the police station. Amparo convinces her not to go explaining that she could run into Lucero there and by the way, Mario is not HERS and she needs to get that through her head. DUH!

Tacky Tomás lies to his family telling them he was carrying a gun because he was being threatened. Granpappy Vicente seems to doubt his story. He states IF Mariano is guilty he will make sure he is prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Wishy Washy Angela visits Tacky Tomás and also seems to have some doubts about his story but never gets to address them because granny Pilar arrives. After Pilar leaves, Tacky Tomás is interested in getting her to bring him his laptop and telling her how much he loves her. YUK!
 

Sabor

Hmmm.....didn't Tomas say something about killing Mariano to Vincente?
Lots of wishy washy going on .
So...were those pearls fake or real ? Susan
 

SABOR

Susan, yes Tomás did in a recent episode. Nothing about fake or real pearls.
 

SABOR

I have never been a fan of Covarrubias but he is really starting to grow on me as the character you love to hate. He plays a 40-year-old baby-man with just the right touch.

Wardrobe did a great job with that wedding. I loved Chata’s batik-style skirt, and the powder-blue shirtdress Pilar was wearing was beautifully tailored and very flattering. Virginia looked great in black. They even matched Margarita’s sea-green shirt to her eyes. (Angela looked ridiculous in evening wear in the middle of the afternoon, but it’s her job to look ridiculous, I guess. Amparo doesn’t bear mention since she looks good in everything. That posture!)

" 40 year old baby man"....with bangs . Susan
 

SABOR

I'm finding that every time Angela appears on the screen (she was omnipresent in the last episode), I want to hiss. ☹

Lucero looked so sweet in her wedding gown; my heart went out to her as she tried to process what was happening, downtrodden in her grief.

Mariano did truly seem happy as he drove to the wedding. For a few minutes, all seemed right with the world. He seemed frantic to see Lucero when in jail, and when he said he loved her, there is no doubt he meant it.

But then we have the spoiler of this story who continues to insinuate herself deeper and deeper. "All of the trouble between Tomás and Mariano did start when Wishy Washy Angela arrived."' You nailed it Jarifa; truer words were never spoken.

First, WHY was Angela even at the wedding? She seems not to have any sense of how inappropriate she is being. She pushed forward to "help" Lucero after she tripped, following Lucero in what I thought was a very stalking manner. She tries to track down Mariano asking the good padre as to his whereabouts the second he hung up the phone.

Amparo is quickly becoming one of my favorites. As Jarifa noted "Amparo convinces (Angela) not to go explaining that she could run into Lucero there and by the way, Mario is not HERS and she needs to get that through her head". While that would certainly have reverberated in my head, it seemed not to sink into Angela's thick skull in the slightest. Kat, I agree - good for Amparo for picking up the scattered pearls. Angela chose to run after her mother (no doubt to try and look good chastising her in public) rather than retrieve the jewelry. Blech.

Tomas looked pretty good for someone just shot in the gut. He will survive (unfortunately)

"Angela looked ridiculous in evening wear in the middle of the afternoon, but it’s her job to look ridiculous, I guess" had me laughing Blue Lass.

Edwardo Santamarina dwarfed Cesar Evora when they were standing side by side at the hospital. Two great actors; I hope they give us more Max soon.

Susan " 40 year old baby man"....with bangs. 😊

Sabor

Diana, well, Santamarino dwarfs everybody in this show, doesn't he?

Ampara ( never heard that name before ) is becoming the voice of reason , but who sent her to the vineyard and why? Maybe she should have said " Hold my pearls" and given Angela a wake up smack. I just don't get the fact that the actress playing Angela shows no emotions. Her choice or the director's?

Diana, I hope that you had a good visit with your brother . Susan

 

sabor

Amparo means safe refuge. It’s common in Latin America.

I’ve seen the Angela actress in other shows. She is an OK actress, so I assume she’s being directed to be this way. Her eyes almost look drugged in their stare. Or bewitched? Embrujada?

We’ll find out more eventually.

SABOR

“Hold my pearls,” haha. Do we have any more new ones…?

“Hold my cryptic notebook” — Tomas

“Hold my pregnancy test” — Elisa

“Hold my fedora” — Segundo

“Hold my bouquet” — Lucero (too soon?)
 

Sabor

Babachita,thanks for " Ampara,means safe harbor ." Perhaps her name is a confirmation that she is a force for good . I want to know who sent Ampara and what her mission is . Angela does look spaced out . I don't remember ever seeing this actress in anything .

Blue Lass, you gave me a giggle with all your clever " hold mys. ." I am.trying to think of some more ...but I need more coffee. Susan

" Hold my temper "...Cranky, petulant Tomas
" Hold my grapes "...Vincente

I'm going to miss Corazon, loved it!

Susan, those are all wonderful.
