Refugio Para el Amor #153 Wed 11/14/12 Lorenzo gets into Hot Water with RE; Mati gets into Hot Water with RE; Jana gets into Hot Water with RE; RE gets into Hot Water with Patricio; Max stays Lukewarm
Rod and Alexia are sitting at the coffee table drawing.
Claudio and Luci are driving by where Claudio met Rodrigo’s little friend Mateo, but she isn’t able to see him because his head is inside the white bag.
Partial Refrito
Roselena has kept Jana’s date at the Café de Chinos with Lorenzo. She’s punctual, she points out, showing Lorenzo Jana’s cell phone. Her presence commands respect, she radiates power and possesses complete self-control. What is she up to? Smiling sweetly, after cleaning off her place, she avers she’s never been to a place like this, accepts Lorenzo’s choice of Bisquets and orders coffee, but wants the liquid boiling. They watch as it is served at the table. Lorenzo is sweating bullets, expecting a show-down in the OK corral. The internal heat is getting to him, so he takes his jacket off, then politely warns her not to burn herself as the coffee is hot. RE answers, still smiling sweetly, I know, as she flings the hot liquid across and splatters it all over Lorenzo’s chest. Then she innocently exclaims, Que Barbaridad, as if someone else had perpetrated the deed. She looks around saying, Forgive me, Forgive me, to anyone who might have been watching. She gets up, and while Lor is in agony, hisses in his ear, this is the last time she’s going to warn him to stay away from her daughter. Then she sweeps out. In the car, she tells Genaro to vamoose and we are witness to that sick smile as she rolls up the window. The woman at the next table who saw the “accident” thinks it was deplorable behavior and remarks, as Viewerville knows already, that señora is LOCA. Poor Lor, although badly burned, says the thing that hurts most is his heart.
Note: Why do the episodes I recap have so much important dialog. Or is it just me that thinks every spoken word is critical to the storyline. Forgive my verbiage—again. Ultimas semanas is giving me ultimas headaches with the rapid-fire scene changes; so I, too will be combining action in the interest of saving on aspirin.
Lo de Hoy
TL Mansion, Cellblock J – After being locked in by MamaLoca, Jana has cried herself out and is a bit calmer, pining away on her bed, remorseful that she bears the blame for leaving her cell phone at the house, giving her mother the opportunity to snoop and discover her movements. (Q-Jana knew where she and Lor were going to meet, why didn’t she just GO there, and forget the phone?)
TL Mansion, Living Room –Pato arrives to find Mati in hysterics. He can’t make heads or tails of the nonsense she’s trying to tell him—that Roselena locked Jana in her room when she found out Jana was on her way to meet Lorenzo…she knew because she saw Lorenzo’s cell phone message because Jana forgot and left her phone in her bedroom…then RE left probably to go intercept Lorenzo at the Café de Chinos, pant, pant, pant. Mati couldn’t let Jana out because RE took all the keys, including the duplicates. (Your recapper also calls that dangerous and irresponsible, in case of fire, but our Roselena is only thinking of carnal dangers.) Pato wastes no time—Let’s GO.
El Barrio – We see Lor, with serious 1st degree burns and in pain (and shirtless) being tended to by Estelita. She wants him to report this incident to the police but Lor doesn’t want to. This is just between him and Roselena. Meanwhile, Estelita is applying salve with her fingers and he’s flinching with pain. Lor is firm that he doesn’t want Estelita to tell anyone, not even Fabian. She calls Roselena a LOCA. Lor, bless his heart, is still trying to see the best side of RE—menacing him is not enough to kill his love for Jana. It’s true love he feels for her. He’s not going to give her up just because of the kind of mother she has. Señora Roselena is the mother of the person he loves and so, deserves his respect. (What a guy! Can we have some more just like him, please?)
TL Mansion, Cellblock J – Mati and Pato arrive too late to help Jana. RE got there first, and as cold and dangerous as dry ice, is unlocking the door. Pato reacts—What are you doing, mama? Are you making our house into a prison? Are these new house rules? Locking up your children so they will listen to you? Merely reading her look, it says, who are you to challenge me, I am the mistress of this house. There’s a staring contest between the two and neither RE nor Pato back down. (Can your recapper call this a Mexican stand-off without getting into trouble with the PC police?)
Rod and Gala’s Doom ‘n Gloom Room— Rod comes in to Gala’s bedroom to find out what she wanted. It sounds like the start of a civil conversation. Gala says she recognizes she didn’t behave properly last night and begs his pardon, but asks him to put himself in her place and see how it feels to live this way. Five years of silence, rejected, scorned (despreciada), ignored, undesired. Rod replies that he is sorry he can’t respond to her the way she’d like or deserves but he can’t fake it (fingir). In trying to fix one mistake, they committed another. Gala thinks he’s referring to Alexia as the mistake. No, the mistake was getting married when the love between them had come to an end. That causes Gala to state (she’s fingiendo, no?) she loved him then, loves him now and always loved him. (What a two-faced Juli she is.) Does he think there would be any other way she would tolerate his constant humiliations? Rod is struck dumb(a$$). Is he thinking she’s right or is he thinking she’s a great actress. (Being the dumb(a$$) we know is dead to us, he’s probably thinking the former rather than the latter.)
Rod backs down (darn) with a weak-kneed, sorry, I couldn’t love you. He agrees that it’s not pleasant living this way, without love. Gala wants him to try, for Alexia’s sake. Rod says it’s Alexia he’s thinking of. It’s not her fault things are the way they are between them. Don’t put her in the middle of their battlefield. He would give his life for her and Gala knows it, so she shouldn’t use Alexia to get to him (agredirme).

Por ella soy Eva #83 11/13/12: Lalo Gets His First Lesson in Villainy. So Does Fer
- Fer, lazy idiot macho jerk, thinks Rebe lusts after his dirty smelly body. Ha! She doesn't put out for less than a vice president. She proposes a partnership with Fer in a scam against Grupo Imperio. He waffles, but half an hour later, after Rebe says: "your commission will be more than your wife earns," he says ok.
- Juan wakes up with a gruesome hangover after his tantrum of the previous night. He is not grateful for the breakfast and cheery attitude Mimi provides but sucks down the beer.
After a product placement for Mimi's Blackberry, Adriano shows up with flowers for Eva. "She'll be spending all day in bed," says Mimi. Adri: "These flowers pale in comparison with the radiance of Eva Maria." However, he notices Mimi is also radiant and notices her perfume is familiar - he was engulfed in it on that Enchanted Night...
She wants to hear how enchanted that night was. He says it would go down in history. "Every day I love her more, and all because of that night, the best of my life."
- Awful Claudia stares at a picture of Juan Carlos and asks Eugenia about him. "He was everything." We find out Claudia's brother (they are holding back the grand reveal of his identity) is really an angry guy.
Modesto says he's sending Claudia back to Carmen but she doesn't want to go. She whines her protest to Eugenia. I would have thrown her out immediately.
Later Modesto thanks Eugenia for letting Claudia stay. "It's just for a few days. And after all it's not her fault." Modesto goes on and on about how good it is that Eugenia has accepted that JC is dead. Finally she says: "The work of an actress is to make lies seem like the truth."
- Science Fair. I would like to have heard the kids talk about their fine projects! Helena, Pluto and Silvia notice Lalo looks very sad. He's pouting because the volcano at the next table is better than his - the girl figured out how to make hers explode!
Pluto asks for a private moment with Lalo and says: "Never let a girl win, take advantage of every opportunity." He has a bad plan. We see he will, given the chance, turn Lalo into a little Brylcreemed villain.
Helena reminisces about Juan playing with Lalo. Silvia points out he was just trying to get at the computer in his room.
Pluto got Lalo to steal the fire-maker out of the little girl's volcano. Now Lalo's is great, and the little girl's doesn't work. She cries and runs away. Pluto reassures Lalo it was ok and lies to Helena about it. Lalo is silent.
- Eva shows up at the science fair, apologising for her impertinent drunken rant of the previous night. She tells Lalo he's "a Mexican Einstein."
She again asks Helena: "Do you love Don Pluti?" "Uh, yeah, sure, that's why I'm marrying him. Juan did nothing but harm me, my present is Pluto. ... When I was in the hospital I thought I saw Juan, that hallucination really hurt me, it seemed so real."
"What if I were to tell you that he's alive?" "Even if he came back from his tomb, it would be too late. Never mention him again. And enough already about your dead husband! Enjoy Adriano; the present is all we have."
- Renato says he's too busy to go to some happening place with Lucia. She whines and nags until he says he'll go for a little while. He gets a mysterious text message.
- After Lalito wins first prize for his now excellent fire-spouting volcano, everyone cuddles him. He moans to Pluto: "I won by cheating." "This won't be the last time. Sometimes it takes a trick to win. Don't tell anybody - you know how women are." "Mother says one shouldn't cheat." "It's ok. Let this be our first father-and-son secret."
The teacher wants to talk to Helena, and we think she's going to bust Lalo for his stealing, but no, she just says he's a great kid, recovered from his past glooms.
- Some guys needle Eva. "What would your girls, your mother, your daughters think if they knew you were acting like this?" She pummels them with her magnificent pocketbook.
- Helena has found a GIGANTIC new apartment suitable for a millionaire. She's annoyed that Pluto lets the real estate agent think they're married. Helena makes it clear that's not the case.
She notices Lalo is not as pleased with Pluto as he used to be and was about to ask him about it when Silvia comes to say she'll be leaving when H & P get married. "No, ma, the three of us (you me and Lalo) will always be together."
- Renato brings Lucia home and wants to leave. She whines, "No, don't leave, have some booze, let's talk?" "What do you want to talk about?" "Now that we're going out, I want to know more about you. What's your mom's name? Who was your last girlfriend?" "I don't live in the past." He bolts, citing family issues.
- Juan sulks in existential despair and decides the best course of action is to prove to Helena what kind of (rotten) guy Plutarco is.
- Pluto, after showing us how glad he is to finally get the tiresome mucoso out the door, tries again to persuade Helena not to go back to work. "Haven't you thought then when we're married you'll have lots to do? And now, don't you need time to organize our wedding!?" "I can do it all, and anyway there's plenty of time, we're not getting married tomorrow..."
- Fer shows up at home in a nutty mood. Marcela is working on her thesis. He apologizes for his bad moods and says everything will go back to normal now. I guess larceny is an aphrodisiac: he grabs her and grins like a lunatic.
Tomorrow: possibly Rebeca will spill a few beans to Helena. Or maybe it's a trampa.

Amores Verdaderos #4 Mon 11/12/12 Code names: Athena, Zeus and Aphrodite
* The very first meeting of Nikki and Franisco is splendid. Not. Guzmán is annoyed by the little brat who acts like he was dirt on the bottom of her shoes, and Nikki is even more annoyed by the hunkalicious guy who dares backtalk her and calls her a niña (little girl). A niña! However, as soon as Blondie’s out of the room, a nervous little smile appears on her face.

Por ella soy Eva #82 11/12/12
Adriano and Juan get really smashed together - I bet they did a lot of drinking together like this in the pre-Eva days, and they are starting to seem like drinking buds (rather than awkward ~lovers).
They're hanging out with a remarkably-less-drunk Helena and Plutarco. Eva/Juan is not so pleased about the engagement, of course, and has something to say about it: "I must express my fillings or I will asphyxiate!" However, she's super drunk, and her speech comes off almost congratulatory. Helena lets her know that she's had too much: "le subieron las copas!" That's for sure!
Eva stumbles out. Mad Dad frowns and comments on the social acceptability of sloppy-drunk chicks: "a man drunk, meh, that can pass, but a woman? That's a deplorable spectacle."
Adri gets to take Eva home in his fancy car, and as they say goodbye, he tries to get his hands on her. But doesn't get very far. "You don't know what kind of woman I am." How true.
He keeps trying, though, and Eva gives him a good-natured but significant punch in the gut... It's all very cute, but Juan is clearly looking for an out (even as Adri keeps trying to get him/her back in the car).
Modesto's awful whiny daughter is pitching a fit about her room. Gawd, her forehead-braids are almost as bad as her attitude. Later, on the phone, she plots with her mom, and promises to be a little spy.
Mad Dad advises Pluto (orders him, really), to :maintain a strong hand with my daughter." Then he turns around and lets his poor wife know that he was always in love with her and other mushy things. Her: "Really? Then why the shouting and the evilness? Why are you nicer to dogs than you are to me?" Him: "Because I love you so much." Me (and her): "uhh what?" Her: "know what? I just want to forget about you." Yay!
At long last, with Mimi's help, Juan gets a smashed Adri to putter off in the convertible. Juan is really a wreck right now.
Pluto is now pushing Helena to move in with him TONIGHT.
Drunk Juan has come to a really bad place. "I'm a cockroach, a rat on two legs. God is punishing me." He looks even more pathetic in his half-Eva mode. "WHO AM I???!!?!? soy Eva Maria leon jaramillo, viuda de Zuloaga." Ugh. He gets a flashback to the proposal and smashes Mimi's mirror with a giant tacon. He gets even more pathetic and self-loathing.
Fortunately, Helena doesn't look that happy either, and contemplates the engagement ring. She doesn't quite know what's wrong, as she still claims that she thinks marrying Pluto would be the best decision of her life. She congratulates her mom on being strong with Bad Dad...Then she puts the ring on.
Juan: "I hate Eva - she kept me away from Helena." He looks terrible. He should do what I do when I'm too drunk to thing straight: eat some cake and go to bed. It bugs me that Mimi does so much for him and he never does anything for her.
I guess he finally does go to bed, because he has a dream about marrying Helena (funny that in the dream, he still uses the Argentinian accent).
Pluto shows his safe full of $3,000,000 bucks to his photo of Eva and practices looking like a ridiculously smug bastard.

Amores Verdaderos #3 Fri 11/9/12 Two Hawt Guys Have An Eventful Day; The Brat Is Back; Who Is Really Running The Beatdowns?
The Refried:
Victoria picking up Anibal, her Papa, at the airport and they are going to the house in the D.F.
The New:
El Banco:
Jose Angel is finding out the letter he got that said his loan was caught up/paid off is a fake. The loan number and the file number are not in the computer's files at the bank. Come to find out, all the money Jose Angel sent to a lawyer to catch up the loan was never paid to the bank. In other words, if he doesn't come up with the money, in about a week, his ranchero will be put on the auction block. Jose Angel is wayyyy pithed and raises his voice so loud, the security officers come up to the desk where he is but he calms down, and the lady tells him to find that lawyer, get a receipt for the money that was paid toward the loan, and everything will be honkey dorey. Jose will do this right now! He leaves and wishes them a good day.
Lawyer's Office:
Jose Angel has tracked down this crooked lawyer and is wanting to see him and is confronted by a secretary, and I use the term loosely here, cause she is stuffin' her face, talking on the phone with an amiga, sipping soda thru a straw and totally ignoring our teddy bear of an Angel, who I am sad to say, is loaded for bear. That secretary ignores him so much, he hangs up the phone for her and demands to see that lawyer. The secretary finally tells him, very snottily I might add, that the lawyer isn't there, won't be back till six! Six, our wonderful Angel says, yeah six, he'll be back.

Por ella soy Eva #81 11/9/12: Rebe Has a New Plan; Eva Is A Closet Lush, At Least That is What Everyone Thinks
This recap is not in any order. I will try to condense some, and now on to the recap.
We start this epi, with Eva having signed her shares away as a guarantee that when those 100 women are hired back, it will be fiscally viable. They have a big toast of champagne in the office. Pluti also invited everyone to his house for the remodeling that he did, after Antonia died, sort of like a second housewarming. Eva is trying to get out of it, but when she finds out Helena is going, she is going too.
JC is back as himself with Mimi and Mimi wants to know if it was wise of JC to sign those shares away the way he did, he could get in some more trouble, well JC tells her it is the best thing he could have done, to make sort of restitution for having those 100 women fired in the first place after all Antonia always wanted to hire them back too, and it is sort of a way to honor her memory.
Helena receives some nice flowers from Pluti and is very emotional. She tells Silvia every day she is more convinced that Pluti is the love/man of her life. Run Helena run, por favor!
Onesimo and Pluti are meeting at Pluti's I think and he is telling Onesimo, finally, he will get his hands on those shares of Antonia's that should have been his. He will have a plan to get those shares and when those 100 women come back to work, he will find a way to get rid of them too! As Pluti is talkin' about this he is caressing the jar of Antonia's ashes and he has the evil shit eating grin on his face. Note to Pluti: Hope that lovely Antonia haunts you foreva, jus' sayin'.

Amor Bravío #60 (Uni 55) Thu 11/8/12 Amor Revelado
Pablo hangs out at the hospital in Zacatecas. He decides to try calling Luzma at La Malquerida. She answers the phone, and he makes like Stevie Wonder…"I just called to say I love you!" Luzma is glad he's far away. Pablo says he misses her, but Luzma lies and says she wants nothing more to do with him. Pablo's not buying it, but Luzma insists she's already over him. She hangs up the phone on a hurt, confused Pablo.
Dio gets into his marital bedroom and snaps at Agustina not to ask him questions, damnit! He wants some alone time, but Agustina wants to talk. She says it's best he hear this ASAP, "Camila doesn’t want us to live here. She'd rather we live at your place and you're not going to have a say in anything to do with the house or the ranch." Dio asks what she wants and Augie wants to stay, but she doesn't want Cam being rude to Dio. He tells her not to worry about him. They'll stay because she wants to. "Don't worry about Camila either. I'll gain her affection, acceptance, and trust little by little." Augie wants him to read in bed, but Dio would rather read elsewhere and menacingly asks her if that's clear. Yeah, Augie, is it at all clear what kind of jackass you married?
Camila is sad that they're stuck with Dionisio. She tells D'Andres that Osvaldo the lawyer is also worried about Dio and wants to talk to Camila about it in person. D'Andres tells her to remain calm until she talks to Osvaldo. Camila wishes that Daniel would show up already so she could just hand over the ranch to him and she and D'Andres could get the hell out of there. That's going to be difficult. Their impending nookie is interrupted by Isadora's entrance.

Amores Verdaderos #2 Thu 11/8/12 A Tale Of Two Hawt Guys and Their Problems; One Gets a Job Offer
Hacienda Balvanera:
It is the aftermath of the attack on Victoria, she won't let Jose Angel go. She is clinging to him like a sweater with static cling, until the Nanna comes out. I am calling her the Nanna, cause later she calls Victoria, mi nina. The Nana asks if everyone is ok? I have to say here, where was she during the screaming and yelling, fighting, etc ? Must have been watching her telenovela, lol. Anyhoo, Jose Angel tells her to call the popos and an ambulance. While she goes to do that, Jose Angel gets Victoria to sit down, as she cries, and he tells her to remain calm it is better for her. He goes to leave, but she doesn't want him to go. He just wants to go check on the people that were hurt. He wants her to trust him. He goes as she watches him. Now she picks up her cell phone!!!! It was right there on the table, couldn't she have picked it up and called the popos herself? Guess not. Instead she calls Nelson and tells him a group of men got into the hacienda and tried to kill her, as she is crying like crazy. Meantime, the bad guys, with their injured team member, are making their escape in that black SUV they came in on. One of them kicks the security guy for good measure. Seeing the coast is clear Jose Angel unties the gatekeeper and tries to revive him.
Meta Imagen Internacional
Salsero, our resident bad guy, is talking to the photographer, Aldo, and they are waiting for Nelson. Nelson comes in to cancel the shoot, somethings come up. Nelson says something is up with his wife, very upset when she called, is taking his daughter and is on the way back to the hacienda. Salsero and Kendra so not happy, awww their mis planes went awry!

Amor Bravío #59 (Uni 54) Wed 11/7/12 "As the Screws Turn"
We begin our capitulo, with viewerville in post-election hangover, in need of poll free night and a review of Monday’s scenes. Mariano and Ana are in the hospital planning moves for both the marbles and herself, back to El Rancho Albarran. Mariano, clearly smitten with his little Ana Angel is told to concentrate on the game or he is going to lose (Pablo tells him the same later on in regard to his unrequited love for Camila).
Flashback to a field at Malquerida and Rodolfo and Nat are strolling in a field chatting about her “business dinner and meeting” at Rancho Albarran the previous night. Rodolfo has set her up to embellish her description of the evening and then turns the screw and asks why she is lying to him and to her mother. Tripped up, but quick to recover, Nat tells him she owes him no explanation of her private whereabouts and whomevers. He turns the screw tighter asking about her decision to be his novia… she declines the offer for any novio at this time… he presses onward asking if it is just him she is rejecting…. she says “Ya, basta, no novio, punto!!” She walks off (we people who wear wedgy shoes wonder how Nat strolls away in an uneven cowpatch cleanly and without tripping).

Amores Verdaderos #1 Wed 11/7/12 Steven Seagal called, he wants his career back
* Our newest Nicandro Díaz circus starts on a beautiful field with an aikido class for kids. While José Ángel Arriaga (Big Ed Yáñez) is channeling his inner Seagal, struggling and trying not to fall on the other master he’s practicing with, Viewerville is also struggling… with an urge to laugh. But we must admit: all men look hot in a hakama.
* In the meantime a big fashion commercial is in the making at the beautiful (though a little bit too rosy) Hacienda Balvanera. Victoria Balvanera (Erika Buenfil), the owner of the advertising agency is directing the dozens of models, cameramen, assistants and other crew members who are circulating around the swimming pool. She’s in her element but her face lights up even more when she notices the helicopter that carries her husband Nelson Brizz (Guillermo Capetillo) back from a business trip in Brazil. Victoria is delighted at the thought that their family will be together again.

Refugio Para el Amor #148 Wed 11/7/12 Rosa Rages, Lovers Kiss and Anvils Align and Prepare to Fall
LO NUEVO
Jana bravely defies Rosa and says I’m not going to marry Bore-us. The assembled guests freeze and those in the know wait for Rosa’s expected explosion. Bore-us leaps into the silence calling Jana-- Flaquita, which annoys her so much she snaps don’t call me Flaquita. My name is Jana. Rosa tells Jana she is ridiculous and demands to know what this is all about. Jana who has stiffened her spine tells her I don’t want what you want mama. I love you more than anyone in the world but you can’t live your life again through mine. This does not go down well and Rosa tells her if you don’t marry Bore-us, I swear you will be sorry.
Lorenzo talks on the phone to Luci. She tells him she understands so much. He is really down and she suggests he come to the pueblo, he can be with her, amah, Magda and Ariche. They can help. She knows how he feels; it is the same way with her and Rod. He wants to know if she has been able to forget even a little and she tells him no not for one second. Lorenzo tells her it is the same for him and he can’t get Jana out of his mind or his heart. Now he is going to have to learn to live without half of his heart.
Back at the engagement dinner from hell, Max tells Jana you are putting us all in an uncomfortable position. The reason for this dinner was to ask for your hand. Rod says Papa I think Bore-us and his parents should listen to what my sister has to say. Conny starts to say I’m sure it’s uncomfortable, but before she can go on Rosa snarls at her not to interfere. When and if someone asks for Melissa’s hand then she can say something. Not to be outdone Gagme pipes up that it is healthy for Jana to tell the truth before an important step like marriage because after you get married it is very difficult to discuss these things and shoots Rod a toothy smile, isn’t it my love. He just adds very difficult.
In Het Het Paz questions Luci, what happened? Why is she so sad after talking to Lorenzo? Luci tells her she doesn’t like it that Lorenzo is suffering. Lorenzo is suffering but why, what is wrong? Is it Jana? Luci tells her yes he is lost in love her. Paz says poor Lorenzo perhaps it's better to shed tears now rather than later what with all that the Señora Torreslanda is capable of doing. Magda says she agrees with Paz. That Lorenzo is a good boy, a good worker and honest. He deserves someone to love and care for. Paz says he shouldn’t be looking so high. Look at the suffering he found. Luci says what she most wants is that he doesn’t suffer like me. Magda says the Torreslandas and Jacintos are like oil and water. They never mix, they always end up separated. They are never together.
At the dinner Rosa says it’s just nerves for all of us, the emotion of the moment. Bore-us’ madre agrees that it is just nerves, right princesa? Bore-us’ padre says yes it is just nerves that made you say you won’t get married. Bore-us says, you never said anything when I asked you to marry me. Jana answers that she did say yes but she wasn’t convinced. Jana goes on, indicating Bore-us and Rosa, you two decided everything for me without giving me the opportunity to make my own decisions, without knowing what I really want. Where does it stop? I don’t know what I want for the rest of my life. Rosa says a good marriage is the only thing for the rest of your life. Rod steps in and says let Jana say what she feels. Jana continues, you mama, you set the date for my wedding without asking me, you planned this dinner. Jana tells Bore-us you decided we would get married without knowing if I wanted to be a professional and now your parents are deciding where we are going to live. Everything is prepared for a wedding I do not want.
Jana isn't finished yet and yells at her mother, this dress you bought me is the same as yours. Why? Because you liked it. You’re living again through me. She ends her tirade telling her mother my feelings aren’t important. Señora Bore-us says she has had enough of this but Bore-us says not me, mama. He asks Jana once and for all do you want to marry me. Obviously nothing short of a load of bricks falling on him gets through to this dope. Jana tells him point blank, no, I don’t want to marry you. Oscar and Conny exchange discrete smiles, Max and Rod keep theirs under control while Gala smirks.

Por ella soy Eva #79 11/7/12: What a Woman!!!!!!!!
I’m back!!!
Thank you all for your well wishes and warm thoughts. I spent 7 days without electricity and heat. I am thankful to have my utilities back but my heart goes out to everyone who is still in the dark and/or lost everything. We are currently in the midst of a nor’easter and I pray that the lights stay on. I have missed everyone and will spend this weekend catching up on my reading of the blogs.
We begin at the impromptu party staged by Eva as a diversion at the restaurant with Rebeca, Renato, Lucia, Santi and Angelica.
An inebriated Adriano and Eva leave the restaurant. Eva leads Adriano down the stairs, who copes a feel on her derriere,
Helena is worried about Lalo who is missing a male figure in his life. Silvia says that he is confused; he has grandpa, JC who died, his father who left, etc. Helene wants to be cautious and doesn’t want to let Lalo down. Silvia asks is it Lalo or she who is cautious.
Rebeca looks for Eva and Adriano. The attendant tells her that they left in his car.
At Adriano’s house- he falls on top of Eva. She is ready to fight and Adriano is looking for love. She will be his.
At Ferni’s they are eating dinner with Daniel and Marsela asks Danny about his mother and if she cooks. Danny’s mom spends time at home and cooks and Marsela defends working moms. (Fernando has no table manners)
Eva defends her honor, she is a respectable woman and Adriano is begging. He falls asleep. Mimi calls and Eva lets her know that Adriano is begging and wants proof of her love. Mimi is going to come over.
Rebeca calls Eva and lets her/him know that the jig is up.
Eva shrugs her off and tells her to get a life.
Adriano is getting desperate.
Back at the restaurant-Renato is asking questions about Eva and Angelica starts singing loudly. The other patrons are looking. Santi is embarrassed.
Adriano keeps on begging for a whiff and falling out on the couch.
Danny asks Jennifer for a little kiss for the road. Danny has a plan, lets go to my parents place in Ixtalpa and spend the weekend? Jennifer says that her parents will not go for that. Danny has plans for Jennifer that are not honorable. He is dangerous.
Eva puts Adriano to bed and Mimi is waiting outside of his house.
Pluto calls Helena- he wants Helena to recuperate and return to work, he misses her. He is still forcing the issue.
Eva explains to Mimi what is going on. They peek in on a sleeping Adriano. Mimi adores him. Mimi undresses him. He beckons Eva to the bed. (So the girls are going to play bait and switch). Mimi tells Eva that this is the opportunity to prove that she is an upright woman and relieve Rebeca from her suspicions. Mimi is going to rock Adriano’s world and make him believe that it’s Eva. What a friend!! Mimi returns to the bedroom and turns off the lights and tiptoes into bed with Adriano who is calling for Eva.
A drunken Adriano makes love to who he thinks is Eva Maria. Mimi is having the time of her life. (For someone so drunk, Adriano, sure has a lot of energy!!!)
Back at the restaurant- Angelica and Renato are having a marvelously loud time. Santi is a little uncomfortable with the whole scene. Lucia asks Santi if everything is okay with his marriage, she doesn’t want to be a buttinski. Santi lies- Angelica is the woman of my dreams. He teases Lucia about she and Renato. He was hoping that he could change her (angelica) as she laughs aloud.
Juan is thinking about Helena and remembering when he told her to wait, while Helena is thinking about him and will never love anyone the way that she loves him. She asks Juan to leave her alone, get out of her head. At the same time Juan Carlos is thinking about his one and only love, Helena.
Santi is trying to convince Angelica to study something other than dancing; Angelica tells him she is not a boring wife like his ex, Patti. (That’s for sure, nor does she have any class) While Santi and Angelica are arguing, Renato and Lucia leave. Angelica tells Santi that if he misses Patti, go back to her. The waiter brings the HUGE check; Santi’s face loses color.
Renato leaves Lucia at the curb and drives off. Really???
The next morning, a very satisfied Adriano is complimenting (Mimi) Eva and asks her to marry him. That was some session!!! Mimi sadly agrees.
Mimi slips out of the room and tells JC that there is no doubt that Eva is the woman, thanks to her!!! Mimi tells JC that Adriano proposed to her and she said yes. Que, que, what!!!!!
Eva left a note- “Spent a marveloussssss night. See you later in the office, Eva.”
At Ferni’s Jennifer is complimenting her mother on working, running the house and being super woman. Kevin is looking for his birthday gift. Ooops, they forgot! Marsela wants to give him a harp while Ferni wants to give him a motorcycle. Kevin prefers the motorcycle.
Marsela feels bad that she forgot Kevin’s 15th birthday. Ferni and Marsela are arguing about spending money for the harp or the motorcycle while an exuberant Adriano greets them, (the married couple) looking for Eva. Rebeca bursts into Eva’s office. Eva tells Rebeca that she is boring her and fed up with her suspicions. Adriano floats into Eva’s office and thanks her for the aphrodisiac, it worked well. Rebeca is impactada. Her mouth drops to the ground. Rebeca asks if they…? Adriano is a gentleman so he doesn’t want to give details. Rebeca, her animal print top and tight skirt, leave the office in disbelief. Adriano is still relishing in the night of nights that they spent together. Eva brings up the hiring the women that were fired and batters her eyebrows and Adriano melts.
Helena wishes Lalo goodbye and to have a good day at school. Silvia notices that Helena did not sleep well. Helena was thinking and doing a little work.
Helena calls Pluto and he is a happy camper. She feels fortunate to be with him and he is so marvelous, Yuck, Rebeca barges into Pluto’s office. He lets her know that he is very happy being at Helena’s side. Rebeca has a big surprise for him.
Santi lets Rebeca know that she left him with the check last night. Rebeca says that Santi is a dummy and not a macho man who knows how to handle his woman like Ferni. Ferni agrees. What a waste>
Cindy summons the three stooges into a board meeting. Rebeca is going to uncover something spectacular. She says that Juan Carlos is not dead and is closer than they think. Santi and Ferni have a good laugh. She heard it from Juan Carlos’ mother Eugenia Mistrial.
At the board meeting- Renato announces that Eva is going to announce the restructuring of the company. Eva is going to show her proposal to rehire the 100 women who were fired. Pluto is none too happy. Adriano can’t stop smiling.
The doctor visits Eugenia and asks about when her magazine article is going to come out. She said that it was nothing but a deception. She also doesn’t believe that her son is alive either. The doctor is elated. Pluto is none too happy with the risky plan.
Pluto needs an economical guarantee. Eva offers her shares that Antonia left her. Adriano is in total agreement with the proposal.
Rebeca calls Pluto back; she had something to share that is very serious with everyone who works at Grupo Imperio.
Coming attractions:
Pluto marrying Helena?? Rebeca exposes Eva at the board meeting. (I wonder if Mimi is dressed as Eva?)

Abismo de pasión #161 Gran Final 11/5/12: POR FIN!!
A bit later we get the shirtless arm wrestling at last! More or less. With the voiceover: “In a hot country like this, the sun makes your blood boil, moisture penetrates the skin, the air stifles night senses and awakens instincts. There is no respite for lovers who fall into an abyss of passion.” (But that last part about lovers, the camera had left our boys and traveled to Carmina and Rosendo. In case you were worried.)
And if you think those explanations can make up for all the craziness that Fluffy and Co. have inflicted upon us you can think again. The only thing that helps out is a rowdy happy hour out on The Patio of Lowered Expectations, watching this nonsense with a group of crazy, like-minded friends, nerfazos in hand, drinks on the table, and habanero poppers on the way. As they say at the Drive-In: And now, on with the show...
