Vino el Amor, Lunes 4/3/17 Chapters 106 & 107: Sometimes Love is Not Enough / Hearts of Different Kinds
Chapter
106: Sometimes Love is Not Enough
We pick up with the closing moments of the last chapter, where Juan gloated at Susan and Luciana, calling them all failures and saying that their lands will be his shortly. [Refresh my memory, fellow flies on the wall, but didn't Juan barely make the grade back at university?] Miguel entered the scene to stop this, but Juan didn't hesitate to insult him and his sense of loyalty. Miguel didn't take the bait and neither did any of the ladies, although Susan and Luciana knew that David would be disappointed.

Vino el Amor, #105, Friday Mar 31, 2017: Sour Grapes
Fernanda's test results arrive. David is hopeful as he tears the envelope open, but it turns out that she didn't get enough points. The sky falls. Here is a song about that. (I promise it's not the RickRoll).
Fernanda nervously says that she was nervous. Why were you so nervous? You studied. I don't know, I had a lot of things in my head. All you had to do is pass this exam, not to think of other things. Forget about seeing Tano for now. We're going to study until you pass this exam. And to prevent further distractions, I'm going to have your aunt and grandmother leave. NO! She can't leave! I thought your aunt would help you, but I see she didn't. Sorry, Fer, things are going to be that way.
Yes she helped me. I need her, she's the only one who understands me. Evidently that's not so, Fernanda. I can't believe you're not being serious about your future. Don't you understand the importance of going to university? I swear I studied, you saw me, we studied together. You are not taking this seriously enough. Don't you realize you're taking away all I have left of my mother? (You still have her earrings, Fernanda. I promise they're way better than Graciela.) He screams in her face, ENOUGH! Your privileges are over, and that's it!
Grace comes in and tries to calm Fernanda. Grace looks at the test results and praises Fernanda for beating her previous score. She asks Fer what happened. Fer repeats that she was nervous. "That's no excuse! I asked you to concentrate!" David exclaims. Grace points out that Fer did study. "Sure, but don't you see that wasn't enough? AGAIN you've exceeded my patience, and now things are going to start changing for you."
Fernanda is starting to panic and pant. She swears that she studied. David just shakes his head.

Vino El Amor - #104 Thursday 3/30/17 **FULL RECAP** Vino el loneliness and regret.
Miguel panics because
he can't find Erika's medicine and right then Adolfo comes in asking why an
ambulance is there and where is his daughter!
Smuguel tells him it's because Erika is sick. Alfonso demands to know in rather unfriendly
tones why Luciana is there, did she and Erika argue again?
Meanwhile David
storms into the police department and into Brian's office to find he's not
there. An officer tells him that he's
out of the office supervising an operation.
David wants to know where he can find one of his employees who has been
detained, Ramon Flores. The man tells
him that Ramon left with his son and a woman.
David realizes it was Marta and calls her. She tells him that everything is cleared up
and Ramon is getting back to work.
David is still peeved about Brian's abuse of authority and plans to talk
to him, but Marta tells him don't bother.
David tells her the other thing that's stressing him is the pipe
construction has been cancelled and that he needs Ramon to oversee the
rationing of water among the employees and staff until it's cleared up.

Vino el Amor #102; Tuesday, March 28, 2017: Vino la trampa (trap)
After breakfast in the Robles house, Marta comes in and
asks Bobby if he is ready for school. Lilian says Marta is late. Bobby says he
had a nightmare but Tiá woke him and took care of him. He says he is liking his
Tía a lot more now. “So where is Fernanda?” asks Marta. “Oh she just got
through with her therapy with Anderson and will spend some time studying
because the exams are tomorrow.” Marta asks, “And who is going to take her to
school?” “I’m taking her to school today”, says Lil. Bobby kisses his Tía and
Grandma goodbye and Marta and Bobby leave. Lil then says,“We are going to have
to put Marta in her place because she is only an employee here. It’s not right
that the children love her so much.” Grace responds, “It’s just a matter of
time and I’ll get Bobby’s love. I have a plan but I’m going to need your help.”
Lil says, “Of course you do.”

Vino el Amor, Lunes 3/27/17 Chapter 101: Marking Territory
Fernanda said she had no problem
with her father falling in love with someone like her Aunt Gracie.
David was not pleased with this.
“Fernanda, love doesn't work
like that,” he said.
“I thought that would please
you.”
“Don't misinterpret me,” he
said. “but I can't be with whomever you want.”
“Whenever I try to get close to
you to talk you about this and you end up not being happy.”
“Understand this, Fernanda, I
want to be with the woman I love, not with whom you decide.”
“So therefore, what does my
opinion matter if you're just going to do what you want?” [Por
Dios, who is the parent here?]

We begin where we left off yesterday with David and Luciana
sampling the wine. It begins to get romantic, but then they hear footsteps
coming and it turns out to be Fernanda not looking very happy at all. “So what
are you doing here”, says Fernanda. Dave tells her, “We are working”. “Yes I
can see” says Fer. “Well then I guess I will leave.” “And you?” says Dave. “What
are you doing here? Are you looking for Tano?”

We pick up where we left off yesterday with David
questioning what she was doing with Miguel. Luciana exclaims, “What are you
distrusting me now?” David responds, “I just can’t believe you have done that!”
Luciana says, “To what are you referring?” David goes on to talk about the
problems and then accuses Luciana of dropping everything to go see Miguel. Luciana
says, “I can’t believe that you’re saying this and I can’t believe your
complaints either because I’m suffering without you. What I’m trying to do is
show you I’m on your side and on your family’s side.” She angrily walks out of
the office.

Vino el Amor, Lunes 3/20/17 Chapter 97: Paternity Blues
David tried to assure Luciana
that this separation is temporary. She looks a bit doubtful but he
says that these are difficult times but they will get through them.
He misses her. Before they can seal it with a kiss Ramón entered to
tell them that they need to talk about diverting the river water.
Complicated, but the only way at the moment. After he leaves the
room Luciana asks whether that is the only way. And David says they
need also to find out what is causing the current problem.

Vino el Amor #96, Friday 3/17/17: Water, Water, Everywhere Else, But Not a Drop for Lil
Yesterday – (See Julie’s rippin’ good tale at the end of
yesterday’s recap)
The review starts with Dr. Evil Anderson trying to convince David he’s at fault for Fer’s suicide attempt. It includes Juan and Mark plotting in English; Luci and Leon discussing Mamá’s betrayal, and Marta and Lilian’s confrontation in the kitchen.
Today – (All you’ve got is me)
Dr. Evil and Fer – Fer is telling the doc that she feels worse now that she realized her affection for her nana was misplaced because of what she did with Fer’s own granddaddy. Dr. Evil jumps up, very concerned that she might try to off herself again. Fer insists that she’s almost positively sure she didn’t want to commit suicide, she only wanted to feel better. Dr. Evil (with $$$$ dancing in his head) assures her that her motives are hidden deep inside her and that’s what he’s there for. Fer says, juarever. She is going to concentrate on defending her feelings for her aunt, her grandmother and for, sigh, Tano, un tipazo.
Marta and Lil – The two continue their argument in the kitchen. Marta says she’s no longer afraid of Lil’s threats. Since she lost the love of Fer and her children, there’s nothing to hold her back, so beware, Lil. Marta sneers that the Patron still prefers her to Lil to care for the children. Lil answers back that she’ll figure out a way to get close to the grandchildren and if Marta had any dignity, she would leave. Lil gloats that she didn’t get Fernando nor Gut. Marta has had enough and hands Lil a drippy ladle and tells her here, if she wants to be a good grandmother, finish the meal. Marta stalks out. Yikes, Lil holds the ladle away from her as if it were a poisonous snake and yells for Sonia, who has the bad luck to be within earshot of the battlefield.

Vino el Amor, #95, Thursday Mar 16, 2017: A Dry Spell Begins
Hi all! Cynthia is dealing with a cupcake emergency tonight. She will return as your recapper next week.
Luci tells Dave she thinks it's better for everyone if they break up. Dave can't believe life is so unfair, it's the second time that what he loves most is taken away from him. Luci says no, it's just not their time. He tells her that she's shown him the best time he's had in ages, and she will stay with him in his heart. They hug. She doesn't want to hurt anyone else with their love. He says they have to consider themselves very lucky to have lived such a special love. He says "I love you" (te amo), and she replies "I will always love you" (yo siempre te voy a amar).
They share one last whiskery kiss. Luciana walks away crying.
Lilian is having coffee with Brian. She's gloating about Marta's admission of the affair. Bri says he's sorry and he doesn't know what to say, but he looks as though he also doesn't give a crap. Lil continues that Marta said she did it to hurt Lil AND because she was in love with Lil's husband, in that order. Bri says he's sure Marta is suffering. Lil says Marta deserves it; she fooled Brian too. Lil is excited that this is giving her a second chance to be with David and with her granddaughter. (I guess Bobby can go fly a kite.) And with Brian, too. Brian dutifully smiles and puts his hand on hers. Lil assures him that she's not a bad person, and had good reason to treat Marta the way she did.
Brian kisses her hand and says, "enjoy your coffee." Steamy!

Vino el Amor #94; Wednesday, March 15, 2017: Vino la Verdad
As we left off yesterday, the truth comes out about Marta’s
affair with Fernando. Luciana, standing in the living room is shocked at what
she hears and says, “Mamá?” Fernanda also looks up and says, “Nana, what is
happening?” Lil angrily looks at Marta and says, “Now they all know who you
really are! And now they understand why I am the way I am with you!” Marta just
looks down and is now looking ashamed and doesn’t know what to say. Fernanda is just shocked. Lil comes running
down the stairs saying, “She took my husband away from me just to hurt me!”
Luciana looks up at Lil and says, “Señora, please!” Lil just looks at Luciana
and tells her, “As much as it hurts to say the truth, your mother destroyed my
marriage. She went with my husband KNOWING he was married to me and she didn’t
care.” Marta comes out to Lu saying, “No, no, no, it wasn’t like that at all. I
swear they weren’t.” But Lil goes on, “I didn’t say anything. I suffered alone
with this. And why?” (Lil looks at Fernanda) “Because of you dear. I didn’t
want to destroy your illusions.” Marta tries to get out of it by saying she
only said those words to annoy Lilian and goes on to say, “I’m simply not
capable of doing those things.”

Vino el Amor, Lunes 3/13/17 Chapter 92: Extreme Distress
Some
scenes combined for clarity:
David got on Tano's case for
getting involved with Fernanda. He started blaming him for Fernanda's
depression. Tano tried explaining why it wasn't like that. Their
relationship started on her birthday and he was trying to balance it
so that he could return to college and so she could pick up her
grades. She came to him all upset because of her differences with
him (David) and wanting them to run away together. He had refused
and she became angry with him. He would not comply with her request
that they run away together out of respect for him and for his own
father. David asked whether he knew why Fernanda was in the hospital
and he said “Yes, because she took some pills.”
“Yes. Because she wanted to
take her own life.”
Tano looked shocked. Both should
have been.

Vino el Amor, #91, Friday Mar 10, 2017: Love Hurts
Paco tells Miguel and Susan that he doesn't want to talk to Gutierrez. Susan and Mig thank him for his help and decide to wait for the truck to arrive.
Luci thinks she and Dave will talk to Fernanda when she gets better and everything will be fine, but Marta makes it clear that she thinks Fernanda is in the hospital because of Luci.
People give Susan and Mig funny looks as they pass them on the street. Susan is getting nervous. Mig lets Susan bail and decides to give Carito another chance.
Luci tells Marta that leaving David is no way to solve their problems. That will just cause more pain. "It seems that I don't matter to you," Luci says. "This is all about Fernanda. I need you to be more understanding with me. All I want of you as my mother is to hug me and console me instead of losing the love of my life."
Mark complains to Juan: "You're not my dad, I don't have to come when you call." He says that Carito deserves to die. Juan urges him not to do anything stupid. Mark replies, "If you're doing this because of Perla, just give me my money and then we can end this."

We begin with Luciana and David again pledging their love
for one another. Luciana tells him that their dreams of having a lovely family
together are about to pass by the wayside. But David tells her to never give
up, to have faith, and not to throw in the towel. Luciana says, “But to think
how I could lose you or that this could ruin your family, it just terrifies me.”
David tells her he is not going to let this happen. He goes on and says, “These
are the tests of life, the day to day family problems, the difficulties with
children.” Luciana says, “Yes, you are right. I am ready to face all of that
with you.”

Vino el Amor #88, Tuesday, March 7, 2017: Vino el Fer Whisperers, or Not
In this episode, Fer is upset. VERY UPSET. She's running here. She's running there. She's running back. Many try to reason with her. Few, if any, succeed. She's in full meltdown mode. Who will be the Fer Whisperer? Will anyone be the Fer Whisperer?! Please, someone, step in and soon.
Also, Gutierrez frets about his upcoming charity event, which I think is going to be screencap gold given the participants and the initial planning session. Carito and Perla are at odds, while Miguel is on the track for finding out what's going on with the illegal trafficking.
