Por ella soy Eva #149 2/18/13: Hailing Frequencies Open - Daniel Is a Twit!

 Helena cancels a meeting w/ Juan - her Dad called and sounded like he actually wanted to see her, so off she goes.

Eugenia continues trying to be nice to the vile Claudia, who is now moping in bed. Eugenia asks if some of the misery the girl is feeling has to do with losing her virginity (huh?). Oh. It was that greaseball (Daniel, duh). . . who, big surprise, was remarkably inconsiderate. Eugenia lets her know that every human has their own value, which has nothing to do with what others think. I think it's a good sign that the girl got rid of the grotesque headband(s). She accepts a hug from Eugenia.

At Helena's meeting with Dad. He says the only thing they have in common is his grandson. He wants to schedule days for visitation. He browses through his calendar as Helena looks puzzled. Once that's wrapped up, he moves on to his real agenda - is his ex-wife seeing anybody? But he'll get no such pleasure from his daughter. This was a mostly useless interchange, but he gets some emotional music anyway.

Awww... Lucia misses another chance with Santi. But he wants to thank her from the bottom of his heart. She starts babbling about how they helped each other, but he moves in closer and kisses her on the cheek. She kisses him back on the cheek, and the two of them stumble around awkwardly. Whoops.

Santi has clearly switched over to the team of good-guys. He is now counseling Ferni on valuing his family and not necessarily being so desperate to get a job and get out of the house. Ferni isn't doing such a good job at listening, though, and wants to move in with Santi - he proposes alternating nights on the bed with Santi (I'll sleep on the bed one night and on the sofa the next).

Then, just as Santi is admitting to Ferni that he's got some real feelings for Santi, they see Sebastian (?), Lucia's Ex, with another girl. Santi moves in and punches him!

Marcela has stayed up late to lecture Jenni when she gets in. Jenni is unapologetic, and pulls the my-dad-is-a-bad-role-model card. She doesn't know whose side to take.

Santi gets a hilarious shock when he wakes up to find a snoring Ferni in his bed! he sadly moves to the tiny couch. OMG - what a nightmare - Ferni is a disaster as a houseguest. . . he's going to sleep all day and asks for money.

Ferni fails to impress Marcela when he yells at her for bringing up divorce. He storms out. Stupidly, she wakes up and cries when she finds him gone.

Why is Mimi leaving? She is super sad about it? Juan lets her know that she'll have a friend waiting for her, and very sweetly tells her to hurry back.

Oh no - Jenni is going camping with Daniel. Good lord, how can she be so blind. He is broadcasting CREEPAZOID on broad-spectrum, all channels. He says he wants to make her his. She agrees.

Santi is hilaaaariously awkward with Lucia when they meet at G.I., feeding the flames of blue-skirt gossip.

I love it when Eva uses her purse to beat up a chair to show Marcela how outraged she his about her caveman husband. She has many harsh words for the rascal.

Helena seems to have picked up on the Santi situation via blue-skirt-gram and she grills Luca, who doesn't reveal anything.

A wise Eugenia brings Claudia to warn Marcela and Helena about the sleazeball who just took her daughter into the woods. Marcela is very sweet - I'm as proud of you as if you were my own daughter! The four ladies decide to mount a search party! That's our cliff hanger for the day. See you next time.

Wow - a whole episode without Plutarco. Maybe he was on vacation?

Por ella soy Eva #148: 2/15/13-Eva Goes For A Visit, Pluti's Mis Planes Continue, Mimi Makes a Decision

 

Breakfast at the Contreras:

Breakfast is served and Fern is reminded he has gotta go.

Lucia Goes for a Visit:

Lucia has gone for a little visit to Helena's. She has got to tell her what happened with Santi which she does. Helena is like Que Que What???? Lucia gushes that this is so different from her previous experiences with men, there was passion, such passion, doncha know. Lucia is gushing so much and Helena asks Lucia if maybe Santi didn't take advantage? Hush your mouth, says Lucia, it wasn't like that at all. Helena smiles at Lucia and asks her if maybe she has fallen in love with Santi, but before Lucia can answer, here comes Lalito and Lucia uses this to go on her way!

Por ella soy Eva #147 2/24/13: I'll Say Goodbye to Crazy Eva.



And though it's not the easy way, I guess I've always known I'd say goodbye to crazy Eva...

Two bruisers show up at the pension as crazy Eva holds our Eva and Mimi at gunpoint.  They are detectives and crazy Eva tells them to take away the large woman because she is Eva Maria Leon Jaramillo.  Mimi gets upset and asks them not to take her, and crazy Eva accuses them both of wanting to take her house.  But the detectives are not there for someone named Eva Maria, but rather for someone named Yadhira Rivers, also known as the terrible Itsy, Bitsy Spider.  Interpol is looking for her and they show a poster with her photo.  Crazy Eva tells them they are confused by the poster, and that our Eva is who they're looking for.  But one of the detectives goes through crazy Eva's handbag and finds a passport with the name Yadhira Rivers.

Por ella soy Eva #146 2/13/13: Fernando's Anvil Dropped, Another Woman Scorned and So Much More

Hi all, finally a juicy episode.  They have saved the best for last.  These next three weeks are going to be doozies!!!!

Fernando is going to sleep in Kevin’s room because Kevin worries about him.  Marsela clears the table.

Mimi tells Our Eva that the Loud Eva has turned the rooming house into a bordello.  Our Eva says to offer her more money but Loud Eva is too stubborn.  Our Eva wants to call the police and liberate himself from the Loud Eva.  Helena calls Our Eva.  Helena wanted to hear his voice.  Tomorrow she will meet Eva at Silvia’s nursery.  

Renato is working late and asks the security guard to open up Helena’s office so that he can leave some paperwork.

Loud Eva is on the phone with “Chino”.  She has a way to pay him back for the favors that he did for her for keeping the counterfeit merchandise.

Renato is searching through Helena’s office and find some Fitsa Construction Company documents and thinks that Helena is not as innocent as she appears.  He thinks that Helena is involved in some dirty dealings.

Claudia meets Daniel.  Where are we going?  He has beer and Claudia doesn’t drink, she doesn’t like the taste.  But then she opens up a can, I’m confused.

Renato is confused.  Something about Helena and Fitsa doesn’t make sense.

Daniel has been expelled from so many foreign schools since he was a little boy that he can’t keep count. (What a catch- yuck!!)  Claudia wanted to know why he was expelled, he got into trouble didn’t care.  He is the only child, he doesn’t have siblings.  Claudia tells her story, she hardly sees her brother, and she lives with her father.  Her mother was her father’s mistress and her mother died.  When her mother died she was going to be sent to boarding school but she had the option to stay there so she stayed.  They toasted.

Mimi and Our Eva tiptoe into the rooming house, that looks like a nightmare of red and gold.  She wants to know where they have been.  (I can’t take her- she is too loud!!!)

Claudia and Daniel commiserate over their lives.  Claudia would like to go far away where no one knows her (and I am sure that Viewerville) would like to send her away on a one way ticket.  It’s getting late and Claudia is ready to go home but Daniel the Dog has other ideas.  He wants to kiss her and be with her BUT he is still Jennifer’s boyfriend and Claudia is not down with OPP- (Other people’s property) Jennifer is his girl BUT there is no one more important than Claudia.  (This is difficult for me to type because it doesn’t make sense.)  Oh no!!! Come just for a little bit!!!  Daniel can’t believe it himself.  They both go into the car for just a little bit- I call that a quickie.

Back at the screaming match- Our Eva tells Loud Eva that exploiting women is a crime.  It’s not worth it. She sings a different tune.  You can’t buy love and affection. Loud Eva makes crude remarks to Our Eva about being conservative, prudish.

Rebeca doesn’t know what to do but stupid Oneismo has the 3 million dollars.

Loud Eva talks about taking her business to Grupo Imperio but Our Eva tells her that she will need legal identity documents.

Marsela is awakened by some noise in another room.  She goes to investigate with a bat!!!!!! It’s Fernando in the kitchen.  She thought that someone broke into the house.  She asks Fernando- if he is blind.

Our Eva wants to follow Loud Eva and find out exactly what she is up to.  She will allow Mimi’s rooming house to be turned into a spa.

Oh no, the quickie was Claudia’s first time and it was special to her. Daniel being the romantic guy that he is tells Claudia don’t think that this quickie will make us an item. 


It’s a miracle- NOT-- Fernando can see.  He has no shame. Marsela should have used his head as a baseball; instead she starts breaking up everything in sight.

Daniel tells Claudia that he is not going to give up Jennifer for her. He threw back everything that Claudia had told him about her family. He threw a forlorn Claudia out of his car, she had to walk home.  He didn’t even drop her near the door. Boy, oh boy will he learn about a woman scorned!  His anvil needs to drop on my watch!!!!  I also noted that her braid band was broken- was this some type of virginal symbolism?

Marsela was beyond furious and stupid Fernando was trying to justify his blindness, and explain what he was doing!!! Marsela sent the kids back to bed.  She was on a rampage.  Could you blame her?? She cried in her bedroom and I along with Viewerville felt her sadness. Fernando’s anvil finally dropped!

Mad Dad called to find out when he can visit Lalito.  Helena, Silvia and Lalito were going to spend the day at Silvia’s nursery and Mad Dad was surprised that she owned the nursery already.  They can meet at the nursery.

Loud Eva got into a car with some (O.G.) old gangsters  (or undercover police), one was named Chino. She was thanking them for keeping her counterfeit merchandise.  And she would reward him with a big Northern woman, just like what he likes.  The old man was asking about the company and that if she doesn’t deliver, he will kill her..

Marsela sent the kids to grandma’s because she was going to have a loooong talk with the jackass, I mean Fernando.  Fernando complains that no one spoke to him during breakfast and treated him like a ghost.  Marsela told him that the only thing that she wanted to do was kill him. The lawyer shows up, because Marsela called him.

Eva meets Helena , Silvia and Lalito at the nursery. Lalito wanted to see Eva.  Everyone loves the nursery and we are all so proud of Silva. Helena is going to meet Juan and she wants Eva to accompany her.  Uh oh!

Loud Eva is asking for Our Eva and tells Mimi that she has a male friend, who was a singer who is dying to meet her.  Mimi is trying to guess who it is and Loud Eva slips and says “Dog” berto..  Mimi asks Loud Eva if she has seen Dogberto and Loud Eva acts as if she has a lapse in memory and changes the subject. Mimi is adding up two and two.

Marsela tells the lawyer that Fernando has regained his sight and that the lawsuit  will be cancelled. They still have to pay the lawyer and court fees that have been incurred and Fernando will pay back everything..

Eva and Helena are waiting for Juan at the restaurant.  Perhaps he is stuck in traffic.  Mimi calls Our Eva.  She tells Eva that something smells rotten.  Her cousin Eva never  knew Dogberto, but Dogberto appeared and then disappeared and Loud Eva appeared. Our Eva tells Mimi to be tactful. Unbeknownst to Mimi, the Loud Eva is listening.  Mimi calls the Loud Eva “a rat with two legs” a poisonous snake, etc, etc.  Loud Eva thinks that they are trying to deceive her. She is going to make them pay, using her hand as a gun.

Our Eva is going to change into Juan.

Fernando is sitting there looking like the fool that he is and then wants to talk to Marsela.  Marsela can’t believe that he was trying to rob money from this company just like he did to Grupo Imperio.  She has been a fool twice.   He did this on the backs of his family., who didn’t deserve this. Marsela doesn’t want to hear any more pretexts.  Its time for a divorce. (I can hear Viewerville cheering!!!!!!!!!  )

A man , named Gustavo, a client  comes to the nursery (Hipolito from Amor Bravio) and he is looking for a certain type of tree when Mad Dad rudely wants to know who is this man??

Juan shows up, he didn’t realize that his cell wasn’t charge and he was looking for a charger.   Juan was thinking crazy- he wants Helena and Lalo to move somewhere where they can’t be recognized, a family of three. Helena wants him cleared first so everyone can know that he is alive.. Helena has a lot to tell him about Grupo Imperio.

Mad Dad starts his foolishness , he is jealous and now he understands why Silvia was in a hurry to get a divorce. Really,??? Maybe the beatings and insults could have added to the mix??  Gustavo speaks up for Silvia. Hey Mad Dad, you don’t speak to women like that!!!  Silva makes it known that he is her ex husband.  Gustavo says that Mad Dad is too jealous and if he was Mad Dad he wouldn’t forgive himself if he let a woman like Silvia get away!!! (Compared to Mad Dad, Gustavo was looking good)

Juan tells Helena that Pluti is the worst of all., now that he is President he will manipulate his power. She tells Juan that she found the fake thesis in Pluti’s office but Renato found her.  Helena is looking for Eva now, she has to leave now and Juan will wait for Eva. What luck!!!!

Fernando pleads and begs. But Marsela has had enough.  She has loved him but he hasn’t learned his lesson.  He is corrupt as ever!!! He never learns!!!

Loud Eva calls Chino and tells him to bring his flunkies with him.  Our Eva comes and Loud Eva says that they are trying to deceive her and she pulls a gun on them. Loud Eva keeps calling Mimi- Emeteria and Mimi is not happy.

Marsela has had it with his machismo..  She is going to get the kids  from her parents and when she comes back he better be gone.  I loved when he called her Flaquita and she told him to save it!!!

Loud Eva demands respect from Mimi and Our Eva. They can’t leave because someone is coming for them.  Eva’s phone rings and Loud Eva says that if she answers it she will die.

Marsela explains  to the kids at a restaurant without their grandparents knowledge what Fernando did He never lost his sight.  She wants the kids in spite of everything to be strong and continue to respect him as their father.  She is going to separate from Fernando.

At Santi and Lucia’s apartment- Santi is moving.  Lucia is going to miss him.  Lucia thinks that she is going to spend the day with Sebastian and formalize their relationship.  Poor thing.  Her anvil is coming.

Marsela  tells the kids tat the decision has been made.  Jenifer supports her mom and then Daniel  the pig calls Jennifer, who coldly responds.  He wants to see her.

Loud Eva still has the gun on Mimi and our Eva and some men come.  Loud Eva tells them that Our Eva is a criminal and that they should arrest her.  I’m not clear on who these men are?  Are they Chino’s flunkies or the police?  Our Eva identifies herself and tells the police to take her.

Coming attractions:  Pluti is still obsessed with Helena and hopefully Loud Eva disappears.

Por ella soy Eva #145 2/12/13: Viewerville Wants to Reach Through the Screen and Poke Fernando's Eyes Out For Real.

Potential recappers for the upcoming Colunga comedy starting March 11: please write me at caray@mappamundi.com. People who are currently recapping have priority, and people who want to keep their current slots have priority on those slots. But please, all current and potential recappers, write me at home. I can't keep track of these threads of proposed days that happen in the comments!

  • Real Eva is quite a dynamo isn't she? Besides her cuerpazo and her fine personal style, she is handy with the butt end of a gun.

    Also, her interior design skills are impressive. She's turned Mimi's pension into a red-and-gold bordello with naked statues and nearly-naked "masseuses" in what they're calling a "spa de hombres," hee-hee.

    Mimi complains that Real Eva has also brought cockroaches into her nice boarding house and that she doesn't want it to be a "casa de citas," a place of vice and perdition. Real Eva makes vague threats about Juan's dangerous situation and insists: "My mother left this pension to ME." "Your mother was a saint, she deserved better than you."

    "I'll denounce you! I'll say you have no permits for running a boarding house." "Oh, and you have permits for running a 'spa' - ??" "My important clients will protect me. And you stole my name. I'm going to flatten you! [machacar]"

  • Fer is so unspeakable, you just have to roll with it and enjoy his short-sighted [sic] narcissistic infantile approach to life. Eva comes by and tries to figure out if he's faking his blindness. Fer righteously expects his wife to quit work to take care of him.

    Eva suggests to Marcela that she could work from home for a while. "But my family expects me to resign." Fer sits around like a wounded lion king expecting people to put peeled grapes into his mouth.

    I'm glad to hear nasty Daniel hasn't been answering Jennifer's texts (but she is sad).

  • Rebeca comes into her office to find the blue dress girls packing her pics of Ricky Martin into a box. Renato comes in, gloating that she's been fired. She, bitterly: "I'm sure there will be champagne and confetti, you're all enjoying my fall." "Yes, we're all glad you're leaving." On the way out he snatches one of her magazines (William Levy the cover boy). "Oh no, not William!" she laments, hee hee.

    Rebeca stamps towards the elevator in a rage. "You hyenas are glad I'm leaving." Yes, they are all laughing, it's wonderful. "Reap what you sow, Rebe," says Eva.

    Rebe sees Pluto and yells about the ten years she spent shagging him while he was married to the whale. "My vengeance will be apocalyptic," she vows.

    Pluto calls Onesimo and orders him to give Rebe "a warning."

  • Magda passes along her flower biz to Silvia and they bless each other.

  • Eva/JC asks Renato why Rebeca was fired and wonders what happened to the incriminating cd she had.

  • Before the meeting, Helena sneaks into Adri's office to spy. (Don't you like Adri's big photo of Donald Trump surrounded by bimbos?) She finds another copy of the fake thesis. Renato comes in and asks what she's doing. He buys (with suspicion) her explanation that she was looking for papers.

  • Pluto the temporary boss calls a brief meeting just to say: Rebe will be replaced, nobody is indispensible. Eva says he shouldn't have fired Rebe without Adri's agreement and Helena agrees: "Rebe was good at her job."

    Pluto asks Marci why she's been absent so much. She stammers: "My husband is blind from a work accident." Pluto is unmoved. His hinted threats of taking her work away actually cause her to ... not quit.

    Alone with Pluto, Eva decries his 3 day reign of terror. Pluto: "It's your fault Adri got soft, he no longer has the coldness one needs in business." "Actually, it's scruples and kindness that are needed in business." "If it weren't for you, Adri would still be here; I owe my new position to you, thanks, Eva."

    Eva counters: "I'll get Adri back here and he'll put you in your place. You didn't love your spouse Antonio, it's your fault she's dead." "I didn't kill her!" "You are insanely defensive. Anyway, this business won't fall into the hands of an imbecile like you. Practice waving your water bottle around, you haven't mastered the knack yet." Pluto curses Eva.

  • Onesimo goes to see Rebe. "I need you now," she wails, "do you know why I wasn't fired sooner?" She mentions the compromising video and asks him to help her get vengeance. "Pluto ordered me to to frighten you but I can't touch you... except for looovve... Yes, we should get vengeance on him. Let's leave the country with his millions. With that dough I can keep you living in the style you prefer. And if you don't come, Pluto will get you sooner or later."

    We can all agree Onesimo is in over his head, but he continues wheedling/threatening: "I'm dying for your anatomy -- and also for your little heart. We can be like the lady and the tramp. But don't forget, you need me and I'm calling the shots."

  • Marcela is pleased/anxious as Renato points out her nice new office. She's so conflicted: the kids shouldn't have to take care of her poor blind husband, and she wants time to research ways to cure him. But her friends say, "Don't treat him like a child." She cries - she's so sorry for him.

    Fer, gleefully, is just eating his peeled grapes and counting the (15) days till he gets his big payout for going blind on the job. When Marcela gets home and has to admit she couldn't force herself to quit, he yells and yells like a baby.

  • There's another stupid rehash scene just so everybody can eat from individual bags of snack chips (all with the brand name facing the camera). Santi, standing at the snack machine with 1,000s of bags of the same kind of chips, hears gossip about Lucia marrying Sebastian. He looks sad as he eats his chips.

  • Mimi meets Juan in a restaurant and tells him about Real Eva's new business. He says they should denounce Real Eva to the police even if it puts him at risk: "better me than you," he kindly tells her.
Tomorrow: many fellows will be waving guns in the pension as there's a faceoff between Real and Fake Eva.

Por ella soy Eva #144 2/11/13: Fakers!

we get a review (I think it's a review) of Pluti demanding to know who she left him for. He proclaims that it's his right! "I own you! You're mine! You're mine!" What. A. Jerk. She reminds him how much he tried to steal from her. Mousse boy makes a very convenient entrance, allowing her to escape.

Who is this lady with the glowing red hair yelling at Eva? Is it the real Eva? I can't really tell without the birds in the hair.Mimi looks on grumpily.


The greasy boyfriend is wrapping his arm around Claudia. Seriously, can someone clarify - is she wearing a weird headband or weird hairstyle. She wants him to leave Jennifer. He continues to be a jerk. So what's new?

Juan thinks the real Eva is hiding something... It is certainly true that she's acting suspicious.

Pluti is grumpy.

Adri takes Eva's call from his golf cart! He is very sad about what happened to their relationship. Eva hangs up to receive a call from Helena (answering as Juan to get all mushy). But he didn't hang up on Adri, and he's trying to juggle both calls. Adri: I'm in the perfect place to meditate on my future (haha. he's sitting in a golf cart). He needs to be LOVED. He needs her to LOVE HIM. Juan lunges back to pick up the phone with Helena on it to reassure her that nothing funny is going on. Clearly something funny IS going on... Adri has also picked up on it. He frowns and hangs up on her.

Rebe flirts up Mendoza. Pluti Flips.

Ferni looks really pathetic in his sunglasses. He is being offered a ton of money by a mysterious man. I didn't catch what he has to do in return. Later at dinner, he proposes to the kids that his wife quit her job. What? He wants to start a business at home. Kevin is excited, but everyone else is like WHAT?

Helena tells Eva that she needs a big favor. . . it's been so hard to keep her thing with Juan secret, and she wants to start meeting him at Eva's place. Eva - impactada. on the one hand, how convenient! on the other hand, the whole split-personality thing seems to be wearing on him.

Onesimo calls Rebe to set up a meeting... she thinks he just wants another chance to examine her "escultural cuerpo." Then Pluti bursts in and starts smooching her. Rock bottom? Or does he just want something from her? Actually, she thought he was marvelous! The had great sex. I bet he wants something. He's "Lobito" now. Oh. He came to tell her she's getting fired tomorrow. Ouch. "No puede ser!"

It looks like Helena wants to tell Eva a secret. Some things just can't be shared between man and woman, she says. But we don't find out what the secret is. Actually maybe we do, but I was distracted by my dog. Helena is happy to have a confidante.

Dagoberto is chatting up the real Eva. He was clearly looking for dirt on Mimi and Eva, but he seems to be distracted by her assets. He takes a good look at her "escultural cuerpo" and has some grand words about how glorious she is. I totally lose track of what they're saying. "la witzi witzi arana?" What does the itsy bitsy spider have to do with GI and money laundring. Haha! It was her name back when she sang with the techno bands! Regardless of what they've decided, they're thick as thieves. They smooch a bit. Haha, she likes her "implantos de bubies." She tells him that her favorite time of crime is simple, like fake designer clothes and fragrances. They get a little sexy out in a construction site. Then she takes a phone call (she says "yes, I've got the money"), and when Dago turns away she pulls a gun from her purse, clubs him in the back of the head, and sends him plummeting several stories to the ground (where he lands in a conveniently soft truck bed filled with garbage bags.

*GASP* Ferni sends Marcela out of the room to get him some water, then he slips off the sunglasses so he can watch soccer! He's been faking!

Por ella soy Eva #143 2/8/13: The Coronation of Napoleon

Alternate title: "The Joy of Slapping"

Morning! At the office, Santi apologizes to Lucia for walking in on her date. Santi says he can move out soon anyway - the tenant he sublet his apartment to is pregnant and needs a bigger place, and Santi can afford to live there again. Lucia tells him there's no hurry to move out, and she'll miss him. He says he's glad her dreams are finally coming true - because (he's asking), Sebastian is her boyfriend, right? Lucia says they aren't technically novios yet, but "almost." (Just when we thought she couldn't get any dumber!)

Marcela takes the morning off from work to be with Ferni. They wait for his lawyer to show up so they can have the meeting with his employer. Marcela doesn't want him to sue and imagines that the company is probably finding him a good specialist right now. But Ferni would rather sue. He explains that they have a record of negligence with their employees. (And their son too, I'm thinking.)

He needs help getting ready for the meeting. She doesn't just take his arm to guide him to the bedroom/bathroom - she lets him spoon onto her back like a snail. (This must be some rare type of blindness that affects his legs.)

At school, Jennifer tells Daniel about her family's latest woes (which always seem to revolve around her father). "No one from the company has even asked how he's doing," she sobs. Daniel promises to help. He hugs her and throws another one of his creepy smiles over her shoulder.

Por ella soy Eva #142 2/7/13: There Are None So Blind As Those Who Will Not See.



Helena and Plutarco are fighting in his office.  She wants to know why she's been shut out of the Playa Majagua project, and he's demanding to know why she left without telling him.   And who was she with?  She tells him she was alone.

Fernando arranges for an accident for himself at work by climbing a big step ladder, pulling some heavy boxes off a top shelf, and falling.   He lies unconscious under a pile of boxes. 

Mimi introduces our Eva to the real Eva.  Real Eva gives her the up-down and comments on how well fed she is-  like the cows in her pueblo.  They slap each other in disguised hostility.  The two of them refer to Mimi as Emeteria, while Mimi protests.  Our Eva has an offer.  She wants to buy the pension, but real Eva says no way, she'll have to find another pension to buy.  Mimi and our Eva stare in horror as a huge gold statue is carried in.  Mimi suggests Feng Shui to her cousin, but real Eva has her own ideas.  The two Evas sing while Mimi covers her ears.

Por ella soy Eva #141 2/6/13: Helena's Eyes Are Opened, A New Spa May Be Opening and There Are Fools Galore!


Side note- I’m not sure who was able to watch “El Gordo y La Flaca” today. It was live from Mexico City.  Some cast members from Por Ella were on.  Jaime Camil wasn’t able to be there but Helena- Lucero, Rebeca sans the animal print, Pluti, sans the slick hair and shiny suits and Mimi- Patty Natividad.  Mimi (Patty) dressed El Gordo like a woman and there was a poll on which “woman” did we prefer- El Gordo or Eva.  Eva won. Lucero also sang “No Me Dejes Ir”.  She looked very nice in a gold mini skirt.  It was refreshing to see the cast in a different light.

Juan is going to tell Helena that he is Eva, but Oneismo’s minion is following them.

Fernando has made a decision, he will work overtime to pay back Grupo Imperio the money that he owes them and then he is quitting his miserable job!!!
Mimi calls Juan just in time; she has news, the real cousin Eva is there.    The real Eva speaks in her outside voice, calling Mimi- Emeteria and asks her who is she telling that she is there?

Juan realizes that someone is photographing them.  He runs after the photographer.

Mimi lies to the real Eva, she talks about jealousy, but who in their right mind would be jealous of her?

Marsela tells Fernando that her new department has been approved and she will be making double. Fernando starts his foolish rant about her denying him from the travelling job.
Fernando’s pride is hurt more than anything else and Jennifer and Kevin show up and could hear them shouting from outside.    The parents fluff over the argument and everyone gets ready for work, school,

Santi warns Lucia about Sebastian.  She explains that she interrupted his wedding thinking that it was Sebastian’s.  Sebastian is a part of Lucia’s destiny according to her.

Juan catches up to the photographer and throws him into the pool, asking, who sent him.  Juan has the camera.  Helena is relieved that the man wasn’t armed.  They deduce that Pluti is behind it.
Oneismo tells Rebeca that he has the $3 million dollars.  If she wants to see that money, she has to pay up.  He will show her the money if she shows him her body. She throws him out. (And she better not even think about bothering the Virgencita)

The real Eva has painters and carpenters coming over.  She wants to close the rooming house. (She is most annoying)

Juan and Helena have to cut their trip short. They don’t ant to take any risks.

Pluti calls Oneismo to check up on Helena. Oneismo lies and says that he hasn’t seen her with anyone. (It’s not a lie)  He calls his flunky, who tells him that he was caught and they have the camera.
Juan has 2 options- one- go to the police or two go to the US and get the $3 million dollars that is in the bank.  Either way he will spend time in jail.  Helena is not in agreement with the options. Juan better not dare leave her alone again. 

Fernando is in the Dead Files warehouse reading files about the company paying out a lawsuit regarding an employee who got hurt on the job. (I’m impressed that he can read)  Is he considering a lawsuit?

Since someone was following them, its time to pack and end their trip.

Juan takes a call from Mimi and feels bad that he has her involved in this hullabaloo with the real Eva.  Juan will find a solution and he swears that he will not leave her alone.

Rebeca flirts with Mendoza inviting him to the Jacuzzi to relieve a little stress.  She feels like Snow White, Pocahontas or Sleeping Beauty, humph more like the wicked witch - Ewww.

The real Eva has rounded up all of the guests from the boarding house and has asked them to leave.  It’s her house. Mimi reminds her that these are paying people.  Eva tells her to return their money.  Mimi will help them to find a new rooming house.  They have 24 hours to vacate the premises according to the real Eva.

Eugenia makes plans with Chepina to receive the filming crew.  Eugenia has chosen The Verona Institute for Claudia.

Fernando is reading more of the dead files and reads to see if the file is about negligence.

Helena and Juan leave Acapulco separately.  Helena goes onto to Playa Mayagua and Juan takes a bus back.

Adriano confesses to Pluti that he and Eva aren’t doing too well.  Pluti deduces that women are traitors.  He puts in Adriano’s head that she may be two-timing him.

Helena meets with the councilman to assure him that she is trying to find a solution to the FITSA’s Construction issue.  She is going to meet with the boss from her job next week.  It was important to her that the construction company respected her requirements,  He reminds her that the only reason that they haven’t stopped the construction is because of their faith in her.  She realizes that her original plan was plagiarized and at the next board meeting she will be able to prove it.

Eugenia takes Claudia to the school and recognizes Daniel who is kissing Jennifer.
Pluti lets Raul know about the love troubles between Eva and Adriano.  He tells her about Rebeca and asks why does he keep her.  Pluti also wants to keep his enemies close.
Mendoza ( sorry but he reminds me of Uncle Fester with hair from the Addams Family) he is in Pluti’s office and Pluti is reminding him about trying to court Eva, especially now since her engagement with Adriano is on the rocks.
Pluti warns Mendoza to stay away from Rebeca because she is worse than a boa constrictor.  Mendoza asks why is she still around and Pluti says because he wants to keep his enemies close. (haven’t we heard that before)  He wants to give her a good punishment because she is a real headache.

Eugenia is sure that its Daniel, who played chauffeur in the casting joke, but he walks away and Claudia plays dumb.  Eugenia demands to know his name. address,  his telephone number to locate his parents ,etc.  Claudia gives her a false name, Jesus Anibal Galas.  Really?  (Hopefully Eugenia knows that teenagers, lie- thank you Judge Judy)

Juan Carlos is staying at a hotel as to not arise suspicions with the real Eva being there but Mimi feels that his absence may arise suspicions.  Juan has a plan but he needs for the real Eva to leave so that he can go and get dressed as Eva at the rooming house.

Eugenia goes to the Principal and of course he can’t find Daniel aka Jesus.   The Principal says that the students of his school are examples of discipline and civility.  No student from his school would never participate in such a heinous act. Eugenia can’t believe that he wouldn’t alert the student’s parent of misbehavior.   Eugenia’s mind is very clear and Claudia motions to the Principal that she is crazy. The principal  suggests that his school may not be the school for Claudia.
Helena is speaking to a representative from Fitsa  regarding the fact that Fitsa is not involving the local people in the construction project and the agreement said so. but according to a memorandum that he received he can only negotiate with Pluti or Raul.  Helena is livid.

Lucia is happy to tell Santi that she is going to dinner tonight with Sebastian.  (Hasn’t she learned anything??)It’s going to be romantic with music, candles and wine blah, blah, blah. She’s a modern, contemporary woman who doesn’t wait for the man to initiate the first move. (I can hear her anvil speeding towards Earth)

Daniel calls Claudia and tells him that Eugenia recognized him but she threw her of his trail.  He owes hr one.  Just let him know when they can be alone.  He wants to know the time and the place, he will be there.

Helena returns home to Lalo and Silvia.  Lalo notes that Helena is more happy than usual, her eyes look as if she is in love.  (what a perceptive little boy)

At the club- Sebastian had a terrible marriage,  they fought from day one, he married her too soon,, blah, blah, blah. There was something magical, a religious experience between he and Lucia.  He gives her the speech –that women come and go but there is no one like her., blah, blah, blah.  He didn’t know what he had lost.(Eye rolling time)  She is in his heart.  Lucia reminds him hat he used those same words before, the night before he got married. (Then why is she listening again???) He was a fool, he misses her,  and doesn’t she believe him.  She has grabbed his heart and soul, kiss, kiss, kiss. Poor Lucia.

The real Eva is going shopping for the spa.  She is going to have carpenters and construction workers there.  Mimi tells Juan that the coast is clear so he can come now.

Daniel the jerk meets Claudia, and she presses him about Jennifer, who is the flavor of the day.  He is looking for a real woman.  Where can he find one? They kiss.

Helena calls Juan to tell him about how Pluti is exploiting her project.  She wants to speak to Eva and Adriano about what is going on.  She loves him more than ever.

Back at the car-Claudia knows how to kiss very well. If Danny wants more than he has to drop Jennifer. (That will be good for Jennifer in the long run.)

Helena bursts into Pluti’s office and asks why is he pushing her further away from the Playa Mayagua project and what is he hiding?? As usual- Pluti has the "Duh uh" as he thinks of a lie.

Coming attractions-
The real Eva was put up to this by "Dog”berto- yuck.  So it will be Real Eva against Juan Carlos/Eva.  It should be interesting

Por ella soy Eva #140 2/5/13: Finally the Juanettes Supervise a Successful Maneuver

  1. Concerning our bounders, bastards, cads, creeps, heels, louses, rat finks, rotters, schmucks, scumbags, skunks, sleazes, slimeballs, stinkards, stinkers, swines, toads, miscreants, scoundrels:

    • Onesimo is playing a dangerous game, he's trying to give Rebeca enough of what she wants so as to get into her pants, while giving Pluto enough of what HE wants to keep from getting murdered.

      • He is hired by Pluto to find out who Helena is lolly-gagging around with in Acapulco. Onesimo sub-contracts with another lout, sending him to follow her and take pictures. He, Pluto, will then kill whoever-it-is with his bare hands.

      • He is then ordered by Rebeca to get into the safe in Pluto's house. In order to buy Onesimo time for the break-in, Rebeca calls Pluto and says she has secrets to tell him about Helena.

      • Pluto blows into Rebeca's house wearing the shiniest shirt ever. He wants to get the dirt and leave but she coos, "We are not of the proletariat, let's be genteel and enjoy a harmonious ambience." She texts Onesimo to say the coast is clear and then takes Pluto to bed.

      • Once again Pluto fails to function properly. Gloating, Rebe mocks him for his inadequacy. He barks, "tell me what you know. Do you know who her lover is?" From her surprise he sees she hadn't known there was one. She counters: "Aw, forget about the single mother, come back to Snow White." He counters: "Shut up and tell me what you know." She gets the last word: "Oh no, whoops, I forgot what I was going to tell you. 'Virgencita, don't give me amnesia!' You're a fiasco, cachito."

      • While Plutarco is failing to shag Rebeca, Onesimo opens Pluto's safe (he has the combination) and basks in the glowing, pulsating stack of millions of dollars. He has had the foresight to bring an empty suitcase with him to stuff the moola into.

    • Daniel, our young but prematurely self-realized scumbag skunk sleaze, continues to manipulate and pressure Jennifer. She is too stupid to notice what a tool he is.

      • He keeps pulling that "I'm a man and have needs" b-s. [I heard this b-s in high school. Once I had to walk home three miles at night because I resisted the "blue balls" wheedling tactic and the guy threw me out of his car! Astonishingly, he grew up to be a nice man.]

      • He sends Jennifer out of the room to put on more decorous clothes (when it was he that told her to dress more provocatively) and spends the time texting Claudia, who is duping him the way he is duping Jennifer.

      • When she comes back Daniel says cheerfully: "We're too late for the movie. Let's enjoy ourselves here so you can demonstrate your love." Can't she hear the bad music indicating that this is a bad idea?

        He continues to text Claudia, drooling, as Jennifer watches. "Who are you texting?" "One of my fans." Fans?

  2. Sebastian suddenly appears in the bar where Lucia and Santi are getting ready to whoop it up (they are happily explaining to each other that it's great they can be just friends. Lucia says she's tired of being a sex object.)

    • Sebastian is the guy who who had sex with Lucia once when he'd just gotten married, then walked out on her. She thought Santi was him and - well, remember, as a consequence she and Helena crashed Santi's first wedding and brought it to a grinding halt?

    • Muscle-bound Sebastian purrs: "I've been thinking about you a lot, it's destiny to meet you here." Lucia: "How's your wife?" "I just got divorced." He kisses her.

  3. Fernando picks another fight with his sweet wife Marcela. He scolds her for having been interested in Rodrigo way back. He's doing it to fend off her current ire that he's possibly going to take a job in the U.S. Fern yells: "You're just jealous and don't want to see your husband race ahead of you and have a glorious career!" She has something to say to him but he won't listen. He runs off to get drunk, calling her a bad wife as he leaves.

  • In the boarding house Mimi is nonplussed to be dealing with her REAL cousin Eva, who wears a ludicrous platinum wig and an astonishing outfit. The real Eva has money, seems to be the actual owner of the pension, and proposes to stay - to live there with Mimi and be her partner. Turns out Mimi is short for Emeteria. The real Eva commandeers a room (I couldn't tell if it was Mimi's or the fake Eva's).





  • At Grupo Imperio Adri gets a call from Eva. Eva supposedly has not returned to GI because of a funeral (but is actually canoodling with Helena). Eva says "Adri, I have to do some re-evaluating about our wedding. You know I told you from the start I did not reciprocate your mad passion... " "Then why did you say you'd marry me? To use me sexually? My life has no meaning if you dump me." Adri is so woeful. Juan feels very guilty about hurting him but has to get some distance.





  • Miscellaneous: Renato reports to Pluto and there is some ruining of Marcela's project going on but I didn't catch the details. Also, Eugenia has decided she will rent her house to the producer. She tells Modesto: "If I'm never going to act again, at least let me enjoy being around the artistic environment." He reluctantly agrees.





  • In Acapulco: the conference ended and everyone left but Helena, who had a few details to take care of and now has time to spend with Juan. Our lovebirds coo unheeding of the anvils rushing toward them. Juan does the buitre (buzzard) thing and Helena says "That's just like Eva!" Whoops.

    Juan tells Helena: "I used to see women as adornments, as being there to serve me. Now I see their faces, smiles, eyes, the souls behind the eyes, their struggles...

    There are lots of kisses. Eventually it's night and there are all 1,001 of the Juanettes (those musicians in white) playing dance music for our lovebirds. Juan and Helena and all the Juanettes get magically teleported into a hotel room with a big bed... and...  and ... the room is so yellow I am taking leave of my senses...

    Juan starts trying to confess his final secret: "I'm still far from being admirable. You don't know it all. You need to know that I am..." Helena kisses him before he can confess, thereby putting off the gigantic disaster reveal for a bit longer.





  • Tomorrow: Onesimo's stooge is taking pictures of Juan and Helena in Acapulco. Also, it's ultimas semanas.

    Por ella soy Eva #139 2/5/13: Better Late Than Never!

    Hey gang, sorry I didn't make it last night. here you go!

    We get a look at the aftermath of Adri's little choque yesterday. . . the doc tells Eva that it wasn't supers serious, but it happened because he wasn't following proper recommendations about his hypertension (Eva should feel a little guilty... she's been stressing him out big-time).

    Doc recommends that someone spend the night to keep watch on Adri. Adri pulls out the puppy eyes to ask Eva to say. She reluctantly assents but says NO FUNNY BUSINESS.

    Helena invites Juan to come with her to Acapulco. He is quick to agree, but then a shadow casts over his face as he realizes it could be hard to explain Eva's sudden disappearance (especially given her fiancee's tender state) if he goes with Helena.

    Eugenia really does seem to have the interest of a film producer! Yay! Maybe that'll shut Claudia up.

    Back to the real focus of this capitulo, Eva is starting to panic. I don't see why Adri's illness means Eva has to get in the *bed* with him... It seems like that could lead to increased vascular stress, not the other way around (if you know what I mean). Nonetheless, she finally has an idea to stall for time - she can't sleep without her nightgown!

    Luci and Santi go to a chick flick. She catches him getting moist in the eyes, but doesn't tease him as much as she should.

    As Eva builds a wall of pillows to protect her from Adri's advances, he tells her that he only had the attack because they haven't been intimate in so long. Right (I hear the sound of a million eyes rolling).

    Eva sneaks away to see if Mimi can bail him out (he has to leave for Acapulco tomorrow). She makes a big show of turning Juan down (good - she needs to set some boundaries). Nonetheless, when Adri wakes up, there is Mimi, sitting on her bed. She says, um, Eva had a dying aunt or something. How convenient! Adri doesn't totally buy it, so Mimi lets him know that someday your fiancee will tell you why she does all these weird things. HAHA. I can't wait!

    OH NO! The producer comes to visit Eugenia. Claudia looks on from the shadows. He clarifies that he wants to use her *house* to shoot a film in. That is soooo sad.

    Back at the GI offices, Rebe tries to put some more pressure on Mousse Boy, but he turns the tables on her with his best trick and makes a show of seduction for the onlooking blue-skirts. I must say, I love watching the flustered look on her face.

    Por ella soy Eva #137 1/31/13: Shot Through the Heart and You're to Blame; You Give Love a Bad Name.



    Mad Dad's friend is commenting that Silvia is beautiful and a great woman.  Mad Dad warns him not to talk like that again if he wants to still come around.

    Pluto calls Onesimo and asks him to get another copy of the fake thesis.

    Eva tells Helena about how Felix got Rebeca a disc that gives her access to everyone's email at G.I. and that now Felix has disappeared.  Eva says a little bird told her, and then whistles like a bird while Helena tells her to knock it off.  Helena asks if Rebeca is involved in the fraud, and Eva has no doubt that she is.  Eva is able get her hands on that disc pronto!

    Helena and Juan are meeting in their spot.  Juan can tell something other than the recent news is on her mind.  She tells him "no esperes verme como si nada," but I don't know what that means.  He understands though.

    Onesimo is at lunch with Rebeca and tells her he will break into Pluto's house again to look for evidence.  He wants an advance on his 'payment,' and he swoops in for a brief kiss.  Rebeca is disgusted and calls him a maldito gato.

    Por ella soy Eva #136 1/30/13: Just One More Teeny Lie and Gossip Spreads Faster Than a Rash

    Juan is doing the “Helena forgives me” happy dance.  Mimi reminds him of the one little detail- Eva?? What is going to happen to her??   Juan wants to tell Helena that he is Eva.

    Helena is (looking like a kid in the candy store,) in bed, she is in love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hmm, Eva has to disappear; maybe an extraterrestrial can take Eva.  Mimi warns Juan that he can’t just have Eva disappear from the face of the Earth.  If Helena finds out now that he is Eva, she will think that Eva was his accomplice in the fraud.  Mimi has an idea….

    The next morning-Adriano doesn’t want to end the trip arguing.  Eva playfully slaps him. Adriano wants them to jump in the pool and Eva lets him know that she doesn’t show her body in public.  Eva in a bathing suit, the men would be lusting after her and Adriano would be jealous.  He remembers her body. (Or what he thought was he body) She practically breaks his wrist trying to cool his desires.

    Fernando and Marsela are still arguing.  She lets him know that their marriage is for better or worse, good or bad but too may bad things have been happening.  Marsela is incapable of accepting a job outside of the country and leaving her family, as is Fernando.  What a fool.

    Mimi, in a scandalous (well fitting) bikini entices Adriano.  He can’t stop staring and drooling. Renato reminds Adriano that he wants to talk to him.
    Lucia is spraying what looks like Fermodyl- (a conditioner) and it appears that Santi is lusting after her, ahh that beach air. The blue dresses say that they make a cute couple.  Lucia gives a PSA about the conditioner to the blue dresses.  She shares the product with them.

    Eva can’t take her/his eyes off of Helena, so Renato and Adriano have an opportunity to talk alone.

    The talk- Renato apologizes for not sharing the Juan Carlos story with Adriano and Adriano.  Adriano doesn’t like to be deceived or made fun of and he will give Renato another chance.  How long were you going to keep the fact that Juan Carlos was your half brother a secret?  Well, until, our father gave me his name.

    Someone welcomes Pluti, now what is he up to??

    Helena and Eva share what happened to Helena with Juan like the true girlfriends that they are.  Eva tries to set Helena up and asks would she forgive him Juan Carlos) if he deceived her again.  Even if it was a tiny little lie for a powerful reason.  Helena doesn’t feel that he is capable of deceiving her again.  If it should happen, she will never forgive him. (It’s time to call ET)  She would rather be dead.

    Pluti is meeting with Mr. Fairbanks and they seem to be plotting something.
    Helena wants to know what Eva has to tell her and Eva plays the Que game and switches the story to Renato being gay. Helena feels that if Renato comes out of the closet it may cost him his job.  So Eva plays on, well sometimes the truth can make things worse?  If you say something that might many people, it would be better to be quiet.
    Adriano admires Renato’s gutsy attitude and doesn’t want to be deceived by him anymore, and Renato promises that he won’t deceive him either.  They talk about Modesto and how he doesn’t know that Renato works at GI.  He asked Adriano not to tell anyone who he really is at the firm and only Eva knows.  Sooner or later everyone will find out.

    The blue dresses are sunbathing and gossiping about Rebeca when she walks up on them and starts to scold them when Renato tells them not to be “buttinskis” and that they should keep mystery in life and proceeds to rub and kiss on Rebeca.  Good for the ole witch.  She has on more clothes at the pool than at the masquerade party.  The blue dresses run off to spread the gossip.

    Renato reminds Rebeca that she can’t prove that he is gay, but he can prove that she robbed the cd. For no good. Buuuuyaaa!

    Helena returns home to Lalo and Silvia. Helena brings Lalo a little wooden toy.  Silvia notices that Helena is beaming.

    Eva was at the point of telling Helena the truth but he didn’t.   He has to find the right time to tell her, because he wants to be with her.  Her lips, her looks, etc.

    Fernando and Marsela return to home to an impromptu Welcome Home party, replete with homemade signs.  The kids want to know, how was their second honeymoon??

    Helena and Juan reminisce about the romantic night before.  They both have desires of seeing each other again but it’s too risky.  Helena thinks that Eva should be with them too!! Uh oh!!   Juan wants to see Helena alone to hug and kiss her alone be discreet.

    The next day at Grupo Imperio- Renato congratulated Marsela for her presentation.  Marsela was happy to hear the tourism expert’s paper. He felt bad that she was originally cancelled but every once in awhile someone tries to throw a wrench in things.
    Cindy passes the rumor that Renato and Rebeca spent the night together in Acapulco.

    Lucia wants to know why Helena is glowing and then (face drop alert) Pluti comes in to get Helena for a meeting in the boardroom about some Playa Mayagua stuff.

    Daniel ignores Jennifer in the schoolyard.  Daniel plays a head game with Jennifer particularly because he couldn’t get a whiff the night before.  She wouldn’t let him in. the house, For someone who loves me so much, you are so afraid.

    Marsela has an idea to have a separate department focused to handle tourism conventions for all travel generated by the travel agencies and hotel chains that belong to Grupo Imperio. Eva tells Marsela not to pay that rattlesnake any attention.  She will be her fairy godmother. Marsela also spreads the Rebeca Renato rumor.  Que, que, what??

    Daniel tries to force Jennifer mentally into sleeping with him.  He reminds her of all that he has done for her family and if she loved him, you know the drill. His dad says that women only want your money.  He tells her that she looks bad and that she should to the bathroom and fix herself up.  What a jerk!!!  He needs to disappear.

    Eugenia checks on Claudia- (I love how she calls her criatura) to ask her if she is okay because she spent the weekend locked in her room, watching movies.  Eugenia asked her if she wanted to go and look at schools and Claudia asked her, why does she care? She caught herself and Claudia actually apologized to Eugenia. (Times are a changing!)

    Pluti and Mendoza talk about an  “investigation” of the FITSA Corp.  They found irregularities with the construction company.

    Eva reams Renato about the rumors that she has heard about he and Rebeca.    Eva believes in him, why would he fall for that snake?  She is always teasing him about being gay.
    Renato tells Eva that he kissed her because she always teases him.  He also shared that he discovered in Rebeca ‘s office a cd with everyone’s emails.  He had the cd.

    Helena doesn’t understand how there can be conformity irregularities with the construction company.  FITSA was legal.  Helena is worried about the affect that this will have on Playa Mayagua.
    The types of contract that they signed don’t allow for FITSA’s contract to be cancelled and use another company.  Didn’t Helena know this beforehand?  Yes, she had the backing of GI. Oh well, Pluti will save the day and take the responsibility, he will fix the problem.

    Eva lets Renato know that he is Rebeca’s accomplice and that he is trying to hack the email accounts.   He swears that he hasn’t touched the cd. Eva, his  “aunt” will help him, because she likes he and his flipped hair. He also saw that Felix, the tech guy gave her the cd.

    Helena thanks Pluti for stepping in but Playa Mayagua is her responsibility.  She thanks him for updating her.  He just wants to prove that he can work with her. (Let me get my shovel, boots and a facemask for the manure)  Pluti just wants to be her friend and kisses her Eva, while Eva watches.  Helena seems uncomfortable.

    Eugenia takes Claudia to see the best school in the city and Daniel eyes them before they see him and flees.  Eugenia and Claudia have a nice little exchange.

    Pluti wants all of the press from the convention and the expenses from the convention.  The blue dress is giggling. She tells Pluti about the Rebeca and Renato rumor.
    Rebeca is talking to someone on the phone (maybe her friend from the press) and Pluti comes into her office to get clarification about the rumor.  Rebeca thinks that he is jealous.  Pluti says that he is just curious.  Pluti thought that Rebeca goes after the big fish, so Rebeca lets Pluti know that Renato is gay.  As usual Pluti has the Duh uh- expression!!!

    Eugenia chats with the Principal while Claudia waits for her.  Daniel wants to know why is she there and threatens her that she should not attend that school.  She better not implement him in the casting joke.

    Pluti doesn’t believe her.  Rebeca repeats that Renato is gay and starts her she wolf howl.  He doesn’t think that the rumor is strange since she was unfaithful to his married butt with Juan Carlos.

    Eva was not too happy regarding the Pluti kiss on the hand and Helena says – she will befriend Pluti so that she can keep her enemies closer.

    Pluti knows that Renato is blackmailing Rebeca.  What does he know?  Rebeca denies that he knows anything.  She still wants to marry Pluti, if it’s the last thing that she does.  Once married she will take everything including his name from him. (Such love)

    Helena is only doing this to get proof for Juan.  She is going to see him and Eva can’t listen.

    Eva interrupts an important “vending machine discussion” with the blue dresses and asks for Felix.  No one has seen him. He has disappeared.

    Mad Dad’s friend suggests that Mad Dad look for love with another woman.  Mad Dad says no and that Silvia won’t find another man.   Mad Dad’s friend is sweet on Silvia and Mad Dad tells his friend, Bulmaro to be careful.

    Pluti asks Oneismo to get a copy of Antonia’s thesis.
    Eva tells Helena that Felix is missing and his phone is disconnected.  Felix helped Rebeca to get the cd.  The cd has the passwords.  Eva can get the cd.

    Coming attractions:  An episode of intrigue and obsession
    Is Helena going to let Pluti have it? Is she tired of his deceptions???

    Por ella soy Eva #135 2/29/13: Acapulco Hoedown!

    Hey.. It's ME! AGAIN! Filling in for my mom today... enjoy!

    We are reminded of that weird scene of Mad Dad appearing sympathetic. Will he be the first to get redemption?

    ACAPULCO! People are putting on their costumes! Pluti looks great as a grumpy batman

    Mousse boy looks like a Village Person in a cop outfit.

    Eva looks GREAT in a Marie Antoinette getup that really shows off her huge shoulders.

    Adri and his four musketeers (maybe they're conquistadors) greet Eva, but she shoots him down yet again. He falls all over himself trying to impress her. Man, Eva is so mean - "cut it out, you clown!" 

    Helena to Juan - do you know how much danger your in? Him: the only danger is to not have you. They have a brief interchange, she bolts and he follows her. He tries really hard to patch things up, saying that he just has to fight to clear his name. He goes out on a limb asks if she really, really loves him. But it's not a risk (thanks to his spying). She admits that she does, but tells him he hurt her so much by becoming a man who didn't even exist. I can't apologize enough, he says, but I won't do that anymore (I'll just be a WOMAN who doesn't exist). Then, all of a sudden, they kiss and it's so good, apparently, that they are immediately transported naked in a pool with the chick band (they get a lot of business out of Juan) playing. Then they come back and discuss familiar themes. They kiss again in the wind. It looks like she really does believe in him now. She cuddles him closer and he looks very anxious. Man, this deck of cards is going to fall HARD! They have a goodbye kiss and then Juan, I presume, has to run off and spend the next half hour getting the Marie Antoinette back on. But first, he has to deal with PLUTI, who has just showed up to challenge him. Fortunately, Juan manages to get his mask on before Pluto gets a look at him.

    Meanwhile, Mimi shows up in that same Antoinette outfit to stand in for Eva. Somehow Adriano doesn't notice the difference. Oh wait, she's not pretending, she is just running interference to stop Adri from rampaging around looking for Eva. "It's not fair that she makes me suffer like this." For once I agree.

    I love watching Adri trot along like a horse (gangnam style?). Fernie does a good job of it, too, in his donkey suit. But then he makes an actual ass of himself when it was revealed that he came along to find a new job, not see Marcela's presentation. She does a good job of standing up to him for the "burro que eres." He actually looks impactado for once.

    Jennifer's icky boyfriend knocks at the door and tries to force the matter. Barf. "I wait for you to show my love.... but what have you done to show your love to me?"

    Now Mousse boy gives himself the it's-ok-to-be-gay pep talk, but there is some remarkably menacing music on. Is he about to come out to Adriano? But it doesn't work... Instead he gets Rebe, who does her thing (do we even need to describe it at this point?). She swishes off and he shoots her in the back with his plastic cop-gun.  Really? Is this really the best time for this?

    Grumpy grumpy batman thinks he'll give an umpteenthultimate shot at pushing his case with Helena. Quite understandably, she tells him "didn't I explain this to you perfectly clearly yesterday after your "presentation?" He cravenly asks to be friends as an eavesdropping Rebe sneers at him and mocks.

    An incensed Adri blusters at Eva for leaving him alone so long. Eva launches into an "I'm an independent woman. I'm a woman and a Mexican. A PROUD MEXICAN" tirade, and her outfit-twin mimi takes up the chorus. They tell Adri to get back on his horse and get out of there. (really I can't describe how silly this moment is). Wow, this party is a lot of fun!

    Oooh, poor Mousse-boy - he comes out to the head of a LGBT network, who is a little taken aback at the presumption (I'm not gay, my outfit isn't as machismo-filled as yours, you don't have to assume I'm gay). He's crushed, and instead of revealing he's gay to Adri, he mentions that he's Juan Carlos' brother. Adria doesn't take it so well and draws steel (much to Eva's dismay). Then he turns to her and says "do;a evita, we must go and eat some chicken." Huh?

    Ooh, Marcela gets Fernie back to the hotel room and REALLY LAYS INTO HIM for not seeing her as a human being. This is really gratifying, especially to watch him slump off in his donkey suit after she kicks him out.

    Por ella soy Eva #134 1/27/13: Least.. Professional... Conference... EVER

    Mousse-boy, impractically dressed in white linen shorts, boat shoes, and a scarf (seriously, I'm reminded of that kids' ghost story with the girl who never takes off her scarf, and when she eventually does her head falls off), is really upset about all these accusations about him being Gay. Eva gives him a cute little pep-talk. It's ok, just be who you are.

    More stuff with the kids. Blah. Jennifer's boyfriend gives Claudia a call and has some mean things to say about Eugenia.

    Eva accuses Rebeca of being homophobic.

    Helena kicks things off with a boring introduction. She lets them know that the presentation was changed at the last minute. Pluto looks nervous. Helena gets some really exciting music for what looks like a very dull presentation. Adri tries to inch up on Eva, with his arm around her shoulders, but is continually rebuffed.

    Pluto makes his production and everyone looks grumpy and bored. Eva falls asleep on Adri's shoulder and snores heartily.

    Then Pluti says he says he has a surprise! He has hijacked the powerpoint with photos of him and Helena, to the tune of a band that sneaks in to play sappy music. Ladies in weird striped dresses lay flowers at her feet. He tells the the crowd that all that he wants is to spend his whole life with her. He tries to sing along with the Mariachis (to much wincing). Helena looks like she just smelled some rotten tuna. Him: "I took the whole crowd to witness me begging you on bent knee for a second chance." Now she looks like she just stepped in dog poo (a mixture of surprise, revulsion, and oh-god-why-me). She lets him know (duh) that he has put her in a very uncomfortable position. Him: Just give me one word! Her: No. Then he starts shouting. Wow, so professional. Eva grabs him as he charges after Helena, but he gets away. Eva senses the awkwardness, and begs someone to say SOMETHING. Adri has her back and sputters out some silly nonsense and looks like  he's really straining, word by word. He has everyone stand up, hold hands, and lets loose on them with some pretty mortifying singing. I don't recognize the song, but my mom says it's the Ode to Joy in Spanish. Eva squeals along with him. Everyone looks perplexed at first, but then (starting with Santi) they realize that this is the best distraction they're going to get from the lunacy that preceded it, shrug, and go along with it.

    When he gets Helena alone, Eva takes the opportunity to rag on Pluto a little more.

    Some random old guy puts the moooves on Eva. Adri rushes up in a huff, ready to knock the guy's lights out, only to discover it's his brother! They chuckle a bit, but when the brother leaves, Adri makes it clear that he still considers him a threat.

    Fernie wasn't actually paying any attention to Marcela's presentation, and she catches him.

    Pluti has a bit of an apoplectic fit and turns all red about how everyone was laughing at him. They had good reason to laugh. Adriano: chill, dude (when has anyone ever calmed down after being told to chill?).

    Eva brings up a tray of food for Helena, trying to get in a few more shots at Plutarco. Helena vents a bit. Eva brings up Juan, and Helena lets on that she might still have some room for him in her heart. Eva cheers up noticeably and pries for more info about that charming "ex difunto."

    Rebeca to Tluti: I came to tell you three words - ja. ja. ja. Who could pass up such an opportunity to rub it in his face? Pluti is in a really dangerous place and starts to choke her.

    Helena - I really love Juan, but he knows I hate lies, and he just lies all the time. Eva is overcome. She actually admits that she wishes, in her heart, that Juan could be at the party. Eva plotzes and suggests that dreams can come true. Eva accidentally mentions that she'd like to take a bath with Helena.

    Now Pluto bribes the room-service-cart guy to let him into Helena's room (where she's happily soaking in a bubble bath). He finds out that Helena's got a copy of Antonia's presentation. She knows I plagiarized! I guess I will really never get another shot. Ya think?

    Back in his room, Pluti angrily discusses this development with himself over a glass of booze.

    Adri opens the second day of the conference by requesting NONE OF THIS NONSENSE OF GIRLS AND BOYS and proceeds to put a hand on Eva's knee. She takes it right off tells him to set an example. We get a brief and uneventful (but silly) montage of the days happenings.

    Mad Dad gets a surprise visit from Lalo and Sylvia - she's giving him an undeserved opportunity to play with his grandkid. He's surprisingly chill, saying he'll take the kid to the park so she can collect her stuff from his house in peace and quiet.

    Back to the conference - an Acapulco booster-guy goes on about how great Acapulco is (product placement?) as all look on adoringly (except for the Playa Majagua guy). Adri closes out the conference and looks hilariously proud of the applause he gets.

    A barfingly cute scene of Mad Dad assuring Lalo that he is still loved even if gramps doesn't live with grandma.

    Sylvia sadly looks through old photos of her and Eduardo. Tears. What a lame way to go out. The costume ball tomorrow looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

    Stay tuned!

    Por ella soy Eva #133 1/25/13: Sparks Fly; Chips Fall.

    Actually, the sparks and chips are only just beginning to fly and fall. But we're off to a good start!

    Fernando works the crowd at the anniversary celebration, handing out his resume and telling people he's looking for work. Santi spots him, and Fernando tries to tell him that this folder full of resumes that he's holding was left behind by some other people. ("North Americans" is a mildly sarcastic term for USAdians; Mexico is part of North America.) Fernando complains about his new job, but Santiago is impressed that they gave him time off to attend this conference. Fern seems nervous about running into Marcela, but Santi says she'll be doing her presentation soon.

    But no she won't, because Rebeca has bumped Marcela's presentation to make room for a big-name expert on convention tourism. "I couldn't bump anyone else, but since no one knows who you are..." Helena tries to be supportive, but Rebeca is dismissive. "Just sit and listen to the expert, and maybe you'll learn something," she tells Marcela. "Maybe you can do your presentation next year."

    (Alone, in a rare show of Lucero's comic abilities, Helena mimics Rebeca.)

    Santi and Fernando encounter a job recruiter named Rodrigo Valenzuela. (He has dimples!) Fernando immediately begins sucking up to him. "Just save us both some time and give me your resume," Rodrigo says. He asks Fern if he'd be willing to travel overseas without his family. Fern says yes, he'd be willing to do that for his family.

    Por ella soy Eva #132 1/24/13: What Women Want


    Juan has worked hard to prepare what he considers a very romantic event in the park for Helena.  She looks at him and flatly tells him he understands nothing.  Nothing.  She walks away.

    Marcela is packing for her trip to Acapulco where she will be giving a presentation for GI's 25th anniversary party.  She asks Fernando to take care of the kids while she is away.  This is, of course, too much for him.  He complains that she is going off to have fun instead of taking care of them, and she tells him she will not allow him to bring her down.

    Back at the pension Juan is ranting to Mimi that he doesn't understand women.  She scolds him not to generalize with his macho stuff.  He says women don't realize how they can make a man in love suffer (didn't Pluti say something like this a week ago?).  Adriano calls Eva and Juan rolls his eyes.  As Eva, she is very brusque with Adriano on the phone.  Adri lovingly says that that he is planning not to be separated from her for a second.  She says she doesn't want 24 hours a day with an octopus strangling her tonsils.  When he gets off the phone Mimi scolds him, "How is it possible that you complain about how Helena treats you but as Eva you treat Adriano even worse."  He shouts, "It's not the same thing.  He's a man.  I'm a man."  Mimi looks confused.  Eh?
