Por ella soy Eva #103 12/12/12 Cries, Lies, I Got the Part and a Kiss on the Cheek
12-12-12
¡Buenas noches a todos and Happy Triple Twelve Day!!!
We begin with Lucia rambling on about how Santi can advise her about what a man wants in a woman. (How about, he’s just not that into you, Lucia?) She begs Helena to give her a file, a paper, or something to take to him. Helena agrees with Santi, let him look for you. (Two things- this scene is painful to watch because it reminds me of my junior high school awkward days with boys and does Helena have another pair of shoes, because she has been rocking those cream colored shoes for a few episodes-just sayin’?)
Helena asks Renato to help her to find any information about the fraud. Don Adriano asks- did something happen?
At The Contreras’ house- Jennifer asks if Ferni has resolved his problem at work and he lied and said today it would be resolved. (Why are they lying to the children?) The telephone rings and Ferni answers- if the cable bill isn’t paid today, the service will be cut. Ferni pretends that it’s a job offer. (Everyone is lying!) Marsela smells a rat.
Helena asks Adriano about the recent embezzlement with Fernando and how she feels that maybe Juan Carlos is innocent and was blamed for some shady doings. Adriano is sorry but in Juan’s case his participation was verified. Adriano has doubts and he has Renato checking into it. Adriano misses Juan and loved him like a son. It’s ironic that Juan is still on Helena’s and his mind. Adriano mentions that Eva is interested in the same information and a light goes off in Helena’s mind. (Is Eva involved??)
Marsela runs back into the house because she forgets her wallet, the phone rings. The cable company calls back because the man who answered confused her with someone else, wow, how efficient!!
Marsela will personally pay the bill and realizes that Fernando lied to her about the interview. (Wait, they are all lying!! Someone needs to stop the madness)
Eugenia has an audition and she is thrilled. The brat enters and asks her – where is she going and apologizes for not knocking before entering the room. Claudia with her rude self- throws a wrench into Eugenia’s happiness by letting her know that there will be other actresses at the audition, so she will have competition. Eugenia doesn’t visibly fall for her foolishness and lets Claudia know. Sarcastically the brat wishes her luck.
Eugenia calls Eva/Juan as she steps off of the elevator for a pep talk about her audition. She is having a mini panic attack. She wants Eva to accompany her for support. Eva leaves the empresa.
Helena is thinking about why the name, Maximilian Montes sounds familiar to her. She looks up his former agency, Taurus Travel- and the blue dress remembers that that was the same name as Eva’s old boyfriend. Helena thought bubbles about how Pluti gave Eva info about Max. Is Eva behind the fraud?? It can’t be.
Eugenia meets the producer- Gabriel Rodriguez. He was honored to meet her. Eva mentions many of Eugenia’s old plays.
Helena calls the agency and Senor Montes worked there more than 40 years ago. (I wonder how the secretary knew that so quickly?)
Eugenia is auditioning for a part of a woman who has a child that she didn’t give birth to but loves as her own. (How art imitates life) She has to memorize the part. Eugenia is a nervous wreck.
Eva has some fun as a lion in front of the camera.
Adriano as usual is looking for Eva. He asks Helena, how well do you know her? He asks Helena to be honest with him- does Eva have another man in her life?? Helena’s eyes are like saucers- ¡Que impactada!!!
Santi and Lucia are comparing notes on how sad and lonely their Sunday was. And Rebeca sans animal print hands them some work and is looking for Renato and starts her insinuations about Renato. Santi holds Lucia back. (Rebeca needs a good slap).
Helena reassured Adriano that Eva is not cheating on him. He says that from time to time Eva tells him that she is not the woman for him. Poor Adriano, he is so whipped. This is his first mature relationship with a woman. He had tears in his eyes.
We are at the audition of the series- “A Shadow of a Doubt” with Eugenia Mistrial. Eugenia starts out memorizing the audition and then improvises the part and relates it to her own life, naming Juan Carlos and Modesto. She realizes what she has done and abruptly leaves the set.
Daniel and Jennifer are planning their weekend trip, more lies. Jennifer is now feeling uncomfortable about lying. Daniel wants her to “prove” her love for him. He convinces her to let the lies continue.
Eugenia is upset that she mixed up reality with the play. She is afraid that her dreams of returning to acting will turn into nightmares. Juan/Eva convinces her not to give up. Eugenia got the part!! Everyone loved the improv!!!!
Santi asks Marsela about Ferni’s interview and she tells him that he is lying and is too proud to take the job that she had suggested.
Lucia convinces Cindy to give her some time alone with Renato and go to Human Resources for some gossip.
Helena calls Eva/Juan as she steps off of the elevator. Helena wants to see Juan in the place that they met before. Eva leaves the empresa again.
Lucia makes a fool of herself in front of Renato, asking him if he is okay. Renato turns it around and tells Lucia that she is in rare form and that they should break up.
Juan meets up with Helena. Helena suspects that Eva is involved in the fraud.
Lucia mockingly thanks and blames Santi for her break up with Renato. (I may have to change her name to Estupida) She would rather be a widow than an old maid. He is never to advise her again.
Juan can’t understand why Helena is blaming Eva. Helena tells him about her supposed “jump off”, a young Brazilian man, younger than her had left her place at the same time that she was looking for Eva. Hmm, maybe Mimi is involved (Helena, really?? This sounds, silly!!) Juan tries to convince Helena that there is no clear evidence, just mistaken conclusions. Helena starts from the beginning, Eva wasn’t a candidate to work at the empresa but thanks to Antonia she got the job. Then when Antonia died she left her shares in the company. She lives in that little rooming house isn’t that strange? (Again, Helena, really??)
Oneismo wants to know why Rebeca wasn’t fired. Pluti is keeping her close, because he is sure that she is plotting something. She is flirting with Pluti and Oneismo is not too happy. She thinks that she can get everything with sex.
Helena feels bad because she finally believes Juan. Hmmm, she is describing Eva, and his eyes are similar, she is tall, peculiar, wavy hair with glasses, you will know her when you see her (Oh come on!!!) She is going to continue to find out what Eva knows.
Fernando the loser, leaves his resumes that are either rejected or filed in the circular file at several agencies. I guess he has another night on the couch. After all of that looking for work he needs a rest and dry pants legs.
Helena has to return back to work.
Juan thanked Helena for believing in that he is innocent. She doesn’t want to hear anything about Pluti being involved, but kissed Juan goodbye on the cheek.
Santi convinces Cindy to pass by Human Resources, there is some more gossip and Cindy falls for it again/
For the third time Eva gets off of the elevator and her phone rings, this time it’s Adriano. He hasn’t seen or heard from her and he was worried.
Her phone rings again and Helena wants to talk to Eva.
Santi and Renato discussed the fact that Renato broke off with Lucia and she is crying. Renato said he broke up with her because she was cold, being self-sufficient adhering to Santi’s advice unbeknownst to him to awaken his interest in Lucia. He thanked Santi. Adriano asked Renato about breaking Lucia’s heart.
Helena and Eva have a discussion about Eva deceiving Adriano with her “nephew”. They thought bubble to the time when Helena went to Eva’s apartment and a half dressed Eva answered the door because she supposedly had someone in her room. (A Brazilian man)
It’s paining Helena that Eva is deceiving Adriano, who is too good of a man to be treated like that. (I’m not sure why Adriano had to be fed his drink, by Cindy Blue Dress,) but he started scolding Renato about being in love and going after the woman he loves. For the third time Cindy is sent back to Human Resources.
Eva threw back Helena’s words and said that she doesn’t owe her an answer because she is invading into her private life even though they are friends. Eva makes it clear that there is nothing between she and the young man. Helena brings up other things that Eva is hiding about her personal life that affect Juan. Why are you so interested in the fraud?
Santi has never seen Don Adriano react like he did; it’s probably because of Eva and if Renato is going to break up with Lucia do it like a gentleman. (How do you do that?) I felt like Renato- huh???
Helena doesn’t want to hear Que??
Don Adriano wants to know what is he interrupting. Adriano wants to know why she was late. Eva went to see Eugenia and Helena is eavesdropping
Coming attractions: Helena is doubting Pluti according to Rebeca and is Helena going to find out about Eva??

Amores Verdaderos #25 Wed 12/12/12 From the House of Secrets of the past to The Lake house, which one is safer?
Lo refrito:
Guerito cheers Lilli up, don’t worry about Nicky, she barks a lot but will eventually give in. Angel with Hugs walks in and discovers Guerito and Lilli very close, gets irritated, but after Guerito explains that Lilli had to deal with Nicky’s reaction to her job, he hugs Lilli.
Anyballs very loud and offensive argument with little brave painter… she was afraid for his health, that is why she kept him in the dark about the kidnapping. You raised me that way! You said you were proud of me. Who are you to decide? I am a copy of you, unlike Adriana… if anyone knows how much she suffered, that is me! You raised me so I would not be like my mother, allowing you to parade your lover of the month on her face!! (Anyballs raises his hand to slap her but stops)
Lo Nuevo:
Anyballs says he only wanted to be happy in his own way. Vicky says YOU were happy, but not my mother! Or my sister either! I am the only one that knows how much she suffered when you shipped her to Europe against her will!! (sound familiar to Refugio bloggers? That has been my theory all along, that Adriana fell for a simple humble man and was shipped away to separate them, now I am seriously fearing for Guerito’s wellbeing) Anyballs claims her sister was a little rebel at age 15 and his duty was to straighten her ways.
Nicky runs down the stairs to stop the bad scene… she apologizes to little brave painter … but Nicky takes the moment to ask lbp to fire Lilli… not a chance. LBP invites Nicky to go with her and Nill-Son to the lakehouse… Nicky says I won’t spoil your relaxing weekend trip. Anyballs tells lbp that it shows some humanity on Nicky.
Nicky asks to be allowed to go out. LBP asks her not to go out without escort.
Nicky begs LBP and Anyballs to make amends. She leaves. LBP and Anyballs do make amends… Anyballs says don’t worry, go on your trip and don’t worry about Nicky. He keep glorifying his granddaughter, strong like her mother.
Angel with Hugs asks Lilli not to let Nicky get to her.
In runs Polita to tell them what LBP said, that Lilli stays, regardless of who is not happy with that. Angel with Hugs, Guerito and Lilli are all very happy.
Tomasina is helping LBP make her bags… LBP is having second thoughts about going on a trip at this time… Tomasina says they were lucky that Nicky was freed unharmed. LBP shrieks about the families that are not so lucky to get their little spoiled bratt back home.
At the greenhouse Lilli is really taking her job to heart, speaking nice to all the plants… Well, the intimate moment with the plants is ruined by Nicky coming in to provoke… Lilli gets a bit cocky… so Nicky starts dropping all the planters and flowers to the floor… her goal is to destroy all the plants so Lilli will be job-less. Lilli grabs her to stop her. (I bet Nicky never thought Lilly would be a tough little brave girl that COULD fend for herself in physical face-off, I would pay money to see Lilly force Nicky to talk nice to the plants like she does). Lilli grabs, Nicky whines, goes down in pain on floor asks Lilli to let her go. Lilly lets her go, Nicky gets up after gives Lilli a killer stare, bumps her on way out.
Outside, Angel with Hugs and Guerito talk, Guerito can understand, if he had a daughter, he would look after her like Angel does. Shoulder taps exchanged.
Out is coming LBP giving Tomasina a bunch of last minute instructions and requests. She asks Guerito to look after her daughter. On their way go Angel with Hugs and Little Brave Painter for the trip…
Anyballs tells Tomasina not to let Nicky go out and he will be back later to pick her up to take her to the police (I guess he wants Nicky to open a police investigation on the kidnappers).
From the SUV, Little brave painter calls Nill-Son … he is running late at the office. She will wait for him for comida (late lunch in Mex) .. LBP asks Angel if he has been out at Valle Bravo (seems there are very nice lakes there). LBP says she fears the water, so the lake is an issue for her. Any body of water gives her fears. Nill-son likes to water ski so he decided to buy that property.
(I bet her fear of water will come up again later…esp when Nill-son loves water sports)
At the house, Nicky is slurping on some spagueti, shake/ice cream and cake.
Remembers her wrestling scene with Lilli. And keeps on stuffing herself the spaghetti. She calls Lilli ‘perra de barrio’ (slump mutt bi__h)
Back to the lake, they have arrived, she walks out to the narrow pier, Arriaga runs to meet her, even the vibrating dock makes her freak out… he helps her walk down the pier… she grabs on to him for dear life… almost makes him fall along with her in the water. He wants her to concentrate in enjoying the view.
Don’t you enjoy this? This is my thing… pure nature. He keeps trying to help her, gets her to grab his hands to get on the boat. You can tell her stomach is twisting and rolling. Next we see him driving the boat, she is grabbing on to the beams for dear life… she keeps telling him about her fears of water. When she was a kid she almost drowned. He insists she has to overcome it. That is what life is all about. He fears anything that is unknown. But one thing he knows very well is to grill meat. She says it sounds great. He repeats the fields and nature are his thing. He says when he met her he thought they had nothing in common. But thinking about it again, deep, very deep, we are not so different.
He insists that she stand up on the moving boat, to hold on but give it a try. There. (she is now standing behind him, he is whooohooo!! ‘ing… Enjoy!!)
Guerito goes to check on Nicky, hears she is spitting her dinner in bathroom. He asks if she is alright from outside, then walks in. She is in toilet. He tries to grab her and pull her away. She yells at him to get out!! He tells her she needs help. He says she might have bulimia. She has all the symptoms. She denies, denies… Yo no tengo nada!! … Nicky, you are sick and you know it! … Don’t butt in my life, buy yourself a life and charge it to my card, and leave me alone!!
He could care less what she says, they are leaving. She yells she hates him. He tells her he won’t allow her to kill herself, he won’t allow it. She keeps repeating she hates him… and then drops down unconscicous… Guerito embraces her, calls her ‘mi amor’ several times, very concerned at her health.
Nill-son in office with Salsero… everything is honky dory with Little brave painter. LBP and I owe ourselves this getaway. Realized have to break off the affair with KenHo. Salsero says it is a wise decision.
Nill-Son gets a call, seems KenHo did not show up to re-record the blue aqua commercial.
KenHo is at her place too busy with Odette (the competition of LBP’s agency). Odette and KenHo plotted this ‘no-show’ of hers… since KenHo is the ‘image’ of Balbanera business. Of course Odette brought the money she offered. … well, she could not really take the French account from LBP. KenHo claims she did her part of the plan. It was not her fault that Angel and LBP got out of the elevator in time. THEN KenHo takes the check. Odette wants them to keep teaming up on other jobs. KenHo (a.k.a. -0-0-69) wants to know what is next. Odette wants Nill-Son to divorce LBP. She wants to destroy that marriage. KenHo thinks ‘if you only knew that is my goal too’… KenHo takes the new assignment.
Back to the motorboat in the lake… they have made it to shore. He has to walk her down the pier. She complains that the pier is moving a lot. He reminds her they had agreed to try to work on facing her fears…. They end up running down the pier… he is enjoying himself, she is still shaking. No, you REALLY fear water! … she is embarrassed he keeps discovering weak points in her, he says don’t worry, it helps me care for you. He looks at the ‘cabin’… he says it is very peaceful, ideal for like a honeymoon… this is what he likes, the field.
He misses his house in the country so much, but will soon return home.
Back at Balb house, Guerito has Nicky in bed, he brought her something to wake her up. He insists she is bulimic. She asks him to get in his bubble and not bug her. He gets on his cel, she is very upset that he will call LBP. He says not calling your mother, calling a doctor to check you out. She comes to him, cries begging him not to call anyone. If you like me just a little, don’t. Alright, but on one condition. Anything… That as soon as possible you will go into treatment. IF not, I will get someone right now to come see you. Alright.
Knock on door. It is Tomasina… She asks Guerito not to tell anyone about this. He says I always do as I promise, and I hope you will do same. … When Tomasina comes in and Guerito goes out, at her questioning, Nicky just runs in bathroom.
Cristina congratulates Lilli on getting a job… well, until she hears it is with LBP. Cristina is frozen, falls back on bed, ‘I wasn’t expecting that’. Lilli thinks it is great, a job near her dad so she can see him everyday. Lilli says LBP was very happy with her job. LBP even gave her a cell phone as a gift. Of course Cris takes it the wrong way and thinks LBP is trying to get Lilli on her side. Lilli asks her mother to get those ideas out of her head, I will be in that house all the time. Cristina says yeap you will see your dad daily, and also Guerito. Just be careful, your dad is not ready for the idea of watching you with boyfriend. Of course when Lilli leaves the room, Cristina lets out her irritation at the idea.
Tomasina waited for Nicky to get out of the bathroom. Tomasina insists on asking what is going on with Guerito. Reminds Nicky that he took a bullet for her. ‘SO you are also a vip member of the Gorillita fan club!’ Tomasina tells Nicky that AnyBalls wants her to go with him to the police station.
Back at the lake, Angel is looking for wood for fire, but can’t find any. At the no wood option, he asks for a hatchet to cut his own wood. But before leaving he asks her ‘will you miss me?’ He says’ don’t worry, I won’t be long.’ As he leaves her alone, she writes about his asking ‘will you miss me?’ and what he could have possibly meant by that question… But she can’t finish typing the thought in her book, the phone rings and it is Cristina calling to thank her for the gift for Lilli. Apparently the call got cut off… and idiot LBP is walking out at the pool area… (wasn’t she fearful of water?) … she is telling Cristina on phone that she is all alone, husband and daughter did not come, the one that came with me was Arriaga, your husband… deer in headlights look on Cristina).
IT doesn’t help that LBP tells Cristina that Angel went to get wood for the fire. After they hang up, Cristina works her mind with ‘they are all alone’.
Angel is walking up the hill, questioning that LBP could fear water…. At that moment a storm seems to be coming toward them. At the house, it is raining and thundering hard, LBP starts getting very concerned… Angel is cutting the wood in under a huge rainfall… (question, would wet wood be any good for fires?? LOL!)… He takes his belt off to carry the wood back to the house.
AnyBalls comes to the house to pick up Nicky. She is having doubts about going to the police station. He wants her to give him her version of the events on their way there. He also wants to call KenHo so she will also testify. Nicky says yes we have to get those thugs in jail so they won’t harm anyone else.
At the house, Lilli is with Polita and again she gets the sharp pain in her stomach which she says usually means something bad is happening to her dad… Polita gets fearful also about it… and of course, Angel slips and falls and rolls down the hill right into the raging river which is pretty choppy due to the heavy rain… Seems Angel is caught in a rock, and a thunder lights up a tree and the tree is about to fall right on him, he panicks and lifts his arm to protect his head, grunts loudly.
Previews: LBP is looking for Arriaga, calls out his name.
Nill-Son is worried no one answers the phone.

Por ella soy Eva #102 12/11/12: Blog Mom Does a Concert, Eats Brisket, Forgets It's Her Night to Blog. Talk Among Yourselves...
Yes, I had another concert of our new Hanukkah songs show last night and forgot to blog. Here is a rough translation of the highlights of the esmas recap and I hope y'all can fill in (and add the snark which is missing from the official sinopsis of capitulo 106).
Helena tells Plutarco nothing has happened to make her distant, but she can't believe he's one of those who believes a woman becomes a man's property when they marry.
Adriano, sad and desperate, begs Eva not to leave him. She says she's not the woman for him, but he says he'll die without her.
Onésimo blackmails Rebeca again, into sleeping with him: if she doesn't he will show proof of all she's done. She says he should be patient.
Jennifer hears her parents fighting and discovers them lying. She calls Daniel and says she'll to go Acapulco with him.
Juan Carlos makes a notebook of his investigations and wants to prove to Helena her project was robbed, so she'll trust him.
Eugenia is excited because she's gotten a tv series audition, but Claudia tries to make her feel insecure. Eugenia calls Juan and asks him to go with her.
Helena tells Adriano she has many doubts about whether Juan Carlos was the fraudster after what happened with Fernando.
Helena reads the report on the fraud and notices the fellow who accused Juan was Maximiliano Montes, she asks Vero to get the telephone number. Innocently, Vero asks: "Oh, Eva's sweetheart?" Immediately Helena remembers Plutarco mentioning Montes and later remembers that Eva also has been investigating the fraud. Helena suffers, fearing it's Eva who is behind the fraud.
Sorry, friends!

Amor Bravío #82 (Uni 77) Tue 12/11/12 Caperucita Roja Returns!
Camila’s Cabin
Cam arrives to find her bedroom strewn with sunflowers. “Ay Daniel!”
She looks to the heavens and asks what is she to do now. Is this the sign she was asking for? She wonders why it is that she is unable to forgive?
Is it ego? Or is it pride? Or is it true that she isn’t able to forgive
from the heart. She asks God what is
happening to her. She looks at the
flowers again and can’t suppress a smile.

Amores Verdaderos #24 Tue 12/11/12 Jealousy, revived orchids, and more jealousy
Lo siento, another "phoning it in" recap. Just too much going on for me! I really hope I can do more screencaps this time! I'm going to do a bulleted-list from-memory recap. Please fill in any gaps! I know I missed some things and will likely get a few things wrong. I always appreciate it when you all add more and correct the things I mess up! LOL.
First, a nice screencap:
 |
| Guzmancito is amused by Polita's display of spatula singing. |
 |
| Lily being hired as a gardener just makes Nikki more jealous and furious. |
RECAP IN BRIEF (events may not be listed in order).
* We have a refrito of Big Angel hovering outside of Vicki's door and acting so busted when she sees him there, as well as Nelson trying to act like the devoted husband, but snoozing off like he always does. Vicki thinks that such happiness can't last. Later she has more intimate talk with her hubby about how things were crap for a while there. He's gonna try to make things better. She mentions to him that she was even wondering if he was interested in another woman (Nelson goes *gulp*). She says that she's not the kind of woman to tolerate cheating.
* Nelson wants to go away for the weekend somewhere with Vicki. It's not her favorite spot, but she'll go because he asked.

Amores Verdaderos #23 Mon 12/10/12 Everyone’s Busy Tonight: Sweet Kisses, Fake Kisses, Wild Kisses and Huge Fights
* From yesterday: while Arriaga and Christina are having una noche MUY CALIENTE, Victoria is working on The Painting, aka her very own Boris Vallejo ripoff.
* The exhausted couple is resting in bed, whispering sweet things to each other: I love you, I love you too, you’re the love of my life. Christina is worried for her husband since he has a very dangerous job and she would die if anything happened to him. And she would also die of jealousy if he was with another woman. *She really knows how to ruin the moment, doesn’t she.* Angel promises her that will never happen. Never, ever. *Famous last words, eh?*

Por ella soy Eva #101 12/10/12: For You, I Braved the Christmas Ads!
Uh-oh - Adriano is desperate to see Eva, and confronts Mimi at his apartment, saying he will not leave the spot till Eva shows up. Fortunately, Helena manages to get him out (I forgot how), while warning an undisguised Juan to stay away from the exit. The stupid kid tells Helena, what, you didn't know Juan is Eva's cousin? Come on, we'll show you! And they go out to look for Juan who is now hiding (I'm not sure about this part.... I'm pretty tired). He is now hiding behind a car, telling Helena (on the phone) that, sure, I know Eva... I'm not in direct contact with her, but sure. Helena smiles and leaves. What?
Mimi is out with a desperate Adri, and she tells him "haven't you heard, if you love her, set her free. if she comes back, she's yours." He puts on a really funny face and says he'd never heard that before.
Helena's mom is miserable. I tune out for these segments.
AHHAHAHA Kevin asks Fernie why they never help Marcela in the kitchen. Fernie is still a doofus and pulls some "the role of a man" crap out of his butt.
What's his name's wifey is at the club, super pleased with herself over her recent photo shoot! She even signs some autographs while Rebe looks on with an evil look.
Awww, Adri was scared at his health checkup and he wishes that Eva had come to it with him. He mopes a bit about how hard it is to be in love with her. Mimi cracks a little, I think, and asks him "what if Eva isn't the woman you think she is?" How is that a good thing to say? He snaps a little - if she's betrayed me, I'll kill myself! Mimi says no, no, it's nothing like that - those are intimidades, the secrets of beautiful women.
Mimi tells Eva the whole thing. She sounds a little weary of this whole charade.
Aaaand here's Pluto. He and Helena enjoy their house where everything is wrapped in plastic. But she's not totally there with him. Second thoughts?
Anyway, catch you next week!
-Ezra

Amor Bravío #80 (Uni 75) Fri 12/7/12 The Daniel Dilemma (Working Title)
~~ Here's a quick rundown of the important highlights done from memory. I'll try to fill in what's missing and/or correct whatever I've remembered incorrectly. I'm doped up on medication for an ear infection, having spent much of my Saturday dealing with that and drugstores. ~~
The Daniel Dilemma
Cap #80
Ximena and Isadora exchange information. Xi says that she now knows Alonso's lied to all of them and has been lying to them all this time about the worthless power of attorney supposedly allowing her daddy to collect on the inheritance for DDA; a faked will naming Al as heir to the M.Q. if she dies and that the bull incident was Isadora's doing; and that she knows who Daniel really is: that the guy in the picture isn’t really Daniel Diaz Acosta; and the real DDA is actually the guy they've know as Andres Duarte! Isa is all “no puede ser” at this revelation. Xi says he has the same birthmark as she and her daddy have. She trades Isadora the 411 for why Alonso has gone nuclear over Mamadora: he’s learned about some deep dark secret that Isa and Salomon had kept from him. Isa ‘fesses up that Al’s daddy forced her to sign a document claiming Li’l Lonnie was her natural born son when he really wasn’t. Xi informs her that Al has also joined sides with DDA and Camila, so Isa admits that she and Dionisio have taken sides against Alonso. The two women agree not to tell another sould that they know Andres Duarte is really DDA.
Piedad finds Cam in the pasture on the way back from her ride and mentions that Pablo has moved out of the hacienda because he wants to marry Luzma.
Natalia is totally bummed with Yago’s Frosty The Snowman attitude towards her. She’is sitting there simply staring at her computer screen when snotty Brat Girl, Iliana, waltzes in and unloads a sh!tload of “I told you so” on her. Not what the doctor ordered, but lays it out plain as day for Nat. “Yago’s only a playboy who uses a girl and dumps her right after like a used, wadded up kleenex. He’s not like personable Pablo who will stand up for or fight for his love[er]. His parents won’t stand up for you either because you’re poor like Luzma. Better you break it off with him instead of the other way around.” Nat goes looking for Yago and tries to have a meaningful discussion. Bad idea #2 (#1 was agreeing to that bit of afternoon delight when they should have had the picnic lunch instead) Bad Idea #3 was bringing up perfect Pablo in this “discussion” cuz it only enrages jealous Yago. (Is there a coat of many colors from Yago in Pablo’s Christmas stocking?) He tells her he’ll never be like Pablo and if that’s what she expects then he’s calling it quits right there and then.
Isa tells Dio that Al has gone over to The Dark Side with Camila and DDA.
Cam runs into Mariano while thinking through her Daniel dilemma. She tells him that Andres turned out to be the real DDA and that she’d ended it with him. They discuss Yago’s fight with Rodolfo over Yago’s supposedly taking advantage of Nat. He also mentions that Pablo has left the hacienda and is looking for a job since he’s planning on getting married without his parents’ blessing. He thought his kid brother could work for the M.Q. as their new administrator in training. She agrees and is thrilled he has made his move for independence and to have him working with her at the hacienda.
Nat goes back over to La Malquerida and runs into Rodolfo along the way. She gives him Hell over starting a fight at La Buenaventura over her. She tells him to back off and to keep out of her way cuz she never wants to hear from or see him again! A bit later she finds Cami outside on the drive at the La Malquerida and asks to be allowed to work at the M.Q. again. Is it because of Yago? Yes, Nat sadly admits it is. Cam says she has her reasons why she cannot take her back there for now at the M.Q., but promises to see if they can arrange for her to work from an office in town again like when Don Daniel was alive. For now she’ll have to return to the Buenaventura. Nat sighs and resigns herself to the mental torture.
Francisco overhears Agustina give her sales pitch for retirement funds. Once the client’s gone he gets nosy about what her commission is for one of those sales. He says he has quite a few rich friends who might be interested. Gussie blows Frank off.
Dio attends another investors’ meeting and tells them he’s been in talks with DDA directly and when he eventually gets DDA to sign over the deed, he wants Alonso’s cut in addition to his own. They agree and vote to report Alonso to the authorities for failure to comply and to send him to prison over it.
At Vivi’s place, all four Musketeers have been discussing their next moves. They’re in a holding pattern till Teresa can get proof of Daniels identity, i.e., his birth certificate so he can present himself to the authorities and claim his inheritance. Dio shows up and gripes at D’Aaron and D’Andres for playing him like a fool. Rafa and Vivi leave to do errands. Dio complains that DDA’s allied himself with Alonso.
Vivi shows up at Cami’s place and warns her that Cami’s going to lose the love of her life if she doesn’t throw her foolish pride to the side. Cami eventually considers Vivi’s advice and prays to the diosito for more guidance.
D’Aaron wants to know how that got around since he’s had no direct discussions with Alonso. D’Andres says with all his spies watching them he’d certainly know that was true. So, who told him this? Dio informs them it wasn’t Alonso, and then lies that he hasn’t got anyone watching them anymore.
[Courtesy of ViviDC] ~~ Other stuff that happened:- The Scooby Gang convinces Aaron to stay in Aculco after Dan has revealed himself and to start a self-sustainable community, that will help people in need, like the one he started in Chiapas. Aaron looks like he might be convinced, since the Chiapas community is already up and running and doesn't really need him anymore. Vivi in particular was not ok with the idea of Aaron leaving for good.
-Piedad asks Cami if it's ok for her to leave for the north right now/today. Cami gives her blessing.
- Ana tells Nana Refugio about homeless boy Roman and asks her for her help and to keep quiet about it. Ana especially doesn't want to tell Snob Grandma Rocio, since she knows her attitude about poor people. Nana confirms that minors who don't have parents have to be under the guidance of some authority like an orphanage.
- Dan drowns his sorrows over Camila in tequila, and thinks he's cursed in the love department-- first Miriam, and now Cami. The other boys tell him not to lose hope.
- Frank asks Gussy how much she earns per client for the insurance scheme (scam), and from the look on her face it's obvious she's never been paid, and never thought about it before. Franks seems to sense it's a scam, and an opportunity to make cash off of his rich friends too.
- Already feeling like a clueless fool after her talk with Frank, Gussy flies off the handle to learn Cami gave Piedad leave and didn't tell her about it.
- Al gives Cami a copy of the tourism development contract he signed. He wants the two of them to meet with Dan about it, but she says she will be the go-between and will take it to Dan. Cami points out that the contract only has his signature and proves nothing about Dio or Isa. He begs for help so that he's not thrown in jail. He's already lost her, his jobm and now he might lose his freedom. Cami points out it's his own damn fault and that he's the only one who can help himself by bringing them proof. She tells him, "If you bring me and Dan real proof against Dio and Isa, then we might be able to help you. Without that, I don't see any other way to help you."

Amores Verdaderos #22 Fri 12/7/12 The Look Of Love Is In Your Eyes; I Wear My Sunglasses At Night
There is such a contrast between the bodyguards and Salsero, their "boss". While Guzmancito and the Angel wear their expressions openly, most of the time, Salsero has to wear his sunglasses even at night, to hide his expressions. The eyes are the window to the soul, so it is said, and he uses this device, especially when he is making, mis planes, or he doesn't want to be caught in a lie. He cannot mask his feelings with out them. Just an observation before I start this recap. Plus, they look way cool, no? He looks like a bad ass, jus' sayin'. Now on to the recap. I am doing this on the fly, so if I miss something, let me know. Title of this recap courtesy of Dusty Springfield and Corey Hart.
We start this epi, in the deep, dark woods, in the dead of night and there is a rescue operation in progress, where Ms Vikki has thrown head henchie, his name is Espanto (scarecrow, as Marta mentioned on yesterday's comment, thanks Marta) the money bag, and the Angel has snuck behind Espanto and grabbed his slimy butt. Nikki has managed to get out of the car, by hitting Archie and the Angel is telling her to run like the wind, well not the wind, but to run. She runs straight to her Mama's arms. Now Archie, the other kidnapper is way pithed, aims his gun, and with a look of utter hatred on his face, aims and shoots the gun. I think he was aiming at Ms Vikki and Nikki, but it is very dark and hard to tell. Well Guzmancito sees this, yells no, and gets in the way of the shot. We have waited with bated breath in Viewerville, and now we have a bodyguard down, I say a bodyguard down! Espanto has grabbed the money and like Billy Joe and Bobby Sue, he took the money and run! Espanto starts the car and with Archie and a "screaming" Kendra in the backseat, they take off. The Angel, Ms Vikki and Nikki are trying to revive our downed bodyguard. He is not responding. They are begging him to respond. No movement at all. Well, the Angel, such a smart guy, opens our Guzmancito's jacket, and then finds a, wait for it, bullet proof vest of course! Guzmancito would never leave home with out one, jus' sayin'. Anyhoo, we in Viewerville can clearly see the bullet has struck the vest and lodged in it. The Angel thumps Guzmancito on the chest, and lo and behold we finally have a response. Ms Vikki is so happy, as is Nikki who was crying her eyes out, thinking he had died in the line of duty. He is a mite woozie from the force of the bullet, but the Angel pulls him up and gives him support, and he is fine. Ms Vikki and Nikki are so happy he is alive and they all go in the white SUV.

Amor Bravío #79 (Uni 74) Thu 12/6/12 Amor Peligroso
Ximena keeps trying to drag info out of Alonso, but he's in the mood to talk about something else. "You know I love you. You helped me change my life. You're the only person who's accepted me as I am…I can't marry you." Oopsie! Alonso tells her that Camila told him that he had to clean up his mess before he married Ximena. Xime is pissed that Camila is screwing up her life. Wah! She threatens that Alonso better not leave her standing at the altar and gives him an ultimatum…it's the (wanna be) bride's way or the highway. Alonso says he won't leave till Daniel shows up and he can give him an accounting of everything.
Camila mourns Daniel's leaving.
Ximena sees "Andres" walking away and wonders QTH he's doing there, since he's supposed to have left Camila.
Amanda spent a sleepless night after Dio's visit. She wishes she'd listened to Padre Anselmo, but it's too late now. He disagrees. "He was very clear. If I open my mouth, Natalia's life is at risk." Anselmo doesn't think he has the balls. He tells Amanda to be strong and tell Natalia the truth already. "Like it or not, he's back in your life and if you don't tell her, he will. And he'll tell his version, which won't be good for you."

Amores Verdaderos #21 Thu 12/6/12 Guerito, i hope you didn't forget your bullet proof vest... and Kendra gets rough treatment, one rescue attempt failed, 2nd rescue attempt... tbd
Guillo and Liliana get along great, she is showing him what she is doing with ‘Adelita’, the orchid she is reviving for Dona Victoria.
Beatriz and Cristina are also getting along very well, Cristina offers to make something for dinner to Guillo’s taste, milanesas… hmm yum!! Beatriz says she will try to get a job, Cristina also offers to watch Guillo if Beatriz gets a job.
Beatriz feels bad she has to lie to Cristina about her family matters.
At Barbanera’s, the house without antacid, despite strong objection from Dances with Sunglasses, our dear heroes Guerito and Angel With Hugs take off to attempt a rescue ‘operative’( as Dances WS calls it)… But as Angel and Guerito leave in Vicky’s SUV, they have one extra cosmonaut … eh… passenger in the SUV in the mission: Dona Victoria… she sneaked out after them.
Even though Dances with Sunglasses gets derailed for several minutes, he finally gets to warn the thugs just in time and they are running out the door like scared rats from the Titanic as Angel with hugs, Guerito and Dona Vicky-sneaky arrive.
Nelson gets really antsy that Vicky disappeared so he and Dances with Sunglasses call Angel and Guerito… As Nelson is barking at Angel with Hugs that Vicky is gone, Victoria peaks up from the backseat ‘Here I am!!!’, Angel with Hugs and Guerito get concerned… Nelson barges at her ‘What in the hayride are you doing there??!!’, she puts her foot down (figuratively). She is determined to participate in ‘mission rescue Nicky’.
Back at Balvanera castle, Dances with Sunglasses makes a pitch to Nelson that Arriaga is a bad influence on Vicky. Nelson is really anxious that he could lose his wife and daughter… Dances adds ‘also your lover’. Nelson does not like that comment one pickle seed.
At their hiding room in that run down warehouse, the thugs throw Nicky and Kendra (I am SURE Kendra is loving this VIP treatment… NOT!!) into a dark room and the young thug stays to watch them. Kendra tells Nicky the other guy did not do anything to her, but she tells Nicky she is upset/scared since her own parents don’t have any significant amount of money to offer for her rescue. Nicky tries to reassure her. The thugs keep scaring them that they won’t go free unless the rescue money gets to them.
Anibal gets the paper from the doorman at the apartment building, then … again… runs into his own daughter… Cristina, always the nosy type, asks what he was reading about that he was so focused (article states in title ‘Gene for infidelity discovered’ … LOL!!). He offers to bring the paper back to her when he is done reading the article. Where do you live? # 218.. ah!, you are the new tenant at that place. (Anibal concludes quietly: Cristina is the wife of Arriaga).
So first attempt at rescuing Nicky and Kendra fails thanks to Vicky, who runs after her daughter at hearing her voice and does not allow Angel with Hugs and Guerito to reach them in time. (again, Kendra got a good dose of manhandling/ dragging/roughing… I bet that was not in the ‘deal’ with DwS)
Anyway, the good thing is Nicky got to see that her mother is doing everything possible to get her back alive and well. She was able to see her mother run after them from the back window of the runaway car.
As the hero boys realize they can’t reach the thugs or Nicky and Kendra, … Vicky’s initial instinct is to blame Angel and Guerito but then comes to her senses… Vicky again faints in Bear with Hugs’ arms.
At the Balv house, Nelson, Dances with Sunglasses and all the staff are really concerned at not knowing what is going on during the rescue attempt. Dances with Sunglasses is doing a good job at convincing Nelson that he was wrong to allow Angel and Guerito to attempt the rescue, Nelson, always the dull dude, offers no argument against and gives in quickly.
Back to the SUV, Vicky is nervous, Guerito has lost the signal, surely they turned the cell phone off. Guerito apologizes, Angel seconds that motion, but Vicky tells them not to take it so hard. She knew there was a risk with the attempt. Commander Robles of the police calls Vicky’s cell, but it is just to tell her the elevator incident seemed to be accidental, not sabotage. Angel with Hugs insists he thought it was intentional. Vicky says that is not important now, have to concentrate on getting my daughter back.
In the woods somewhere, the thugs throw the girls into a dark room in an old cabin. Then the main thug calls the house again and fakes being mad, Dances follows the lead and insists the money is ready to be given to them. The thug hangs up after telling Dances he will call again with time and place. At that time Vicky arrives with Guerito and Angel with Hugs… Nelson waves his arms demanding an explanation. Guerito begins to explain that the thugs seemed to have been alerted that they were coming, someone must have… (Dances interrupts him before he can finish saying ‘someone must have hinted them, or at least given them a bad stinch’)… Dances barks at them, Arriaga backs up what Guerito said… But Nelson, having been brain-poached by Dances in advance, gives orders that the only one that will take any action and make decisions from here on will be Salsero.
At their own apt in the building, Anibal is talking business with someone on phone about buying some land. Anibal writes down a phone number on the newspaper. Paula is very distracted when Anibal talks to her, he asks what is the matter, she says he probably won’t listen. When she begins to tell him, he walks away, proving her point that he has never cared about her own business or her family issues. ‘That is the problem with you Anibal, to find out half way, to love half way, to live half way..’… He insists he is putting a good effort in their relationship. And walks away… Paula gets a call from Beatriz. Beatriz needs to meet with her asap.
Anibal brings Cristina the newspaper article (let me guess, the phone number he wrote on it will come into play sometime not too far from now…) . Anibal meets Liliana and thinks she is as pretty as her mother. He acts very friendly with them, unlike how he acted with Paula, his ‘mujer’. Cristina tells Liliana she is impressed with some real good people in the city, including Don Anibal.
At the park, while Guillo plays in the playground, Beatriz meets with her mother Paula. Beatriz tells her she left Leonardo. Yeah, I knew it. How did you? (Paula has to lie) Beatriz tried for years to maintain her family together, but her hopes of that happening faded away with time, along with her love for Leo. Paula guesses correctly that Beatriz does not want Guillo to witness how Leo physically abuses her. Paula extends a handfull of money for Beatriz. Beatriz is not accepting it at first, but Paula says don’t reject it, don’t do like Francisco. Beatriz does not want money from that man. Then has to tell Paula that she is staying with some friends of her brother’s… Paula of course insists that Beatriz should have her own place. (of course, her real motive is that she wants Bea out of that building asap). Guillo comes to see Paula and tells her about Cristina and Lilly and how much he is enjoying staying with them.
At Balvanera castle, Dances is again on phone with lead thug… Sra Vicky will be the one who will personally bring in the money. Thug is angry, take it or leave it! Then he hangs up without letting them argue against it. Nelson and Dances are against letting her go take the money alone. Vicky says will do whatever it takes to get her daughter back!! Arriaga and Guerito offer to go with her.
Nelson takes offense at Arriaga telling Vicky he won’t allow her to go alone. Arriaga has to explain he is her bodyguard and her security is at stake. Dances with Sunglasses tries to argue against going outside the box… but Arriaga insists. Nelson agrees that if Vicky goes alone, the thugs could take her too. In the end Angel with Hugs and Guerito are able to convince Nelson to let them go with her.
As Angel and Guerito leave, so does Dances through another door… to call the thugs that Vicky is on the way to turn in the money. The other thug tells the lead, hey, you and I are the only ones who could lose, Salsero and Kendra are not risking anything. What if we kept the whole kit-n-kaboodle for ourselves? … lead thug is tempted.
At the cabin in the woods, the girls are tied up… they are left alone in the room. Nicky tells Kendra she is very afraid. Kendra tries to reassure her.
Guerito, Vicky and Angel with Hugs arrive near the cabin. Batman and Robin … eh… Angel and Guerito get out of the car and let Vicky continue on her own.
At Barbanera house, we have a funny scene in kitchen where Polita is scared praying to her virgin to keep her guerito alive. Jean Marie is afraid too, and so is Mon.
The thugs have the girls in the car… lead thug comes toward Vicky… while the other thug points his gun at the girls. Guerito is behind a tree, in position to turn someone into swiss cheese… Vicky asks to see her daughter before turning in the money. Lead thug orders Vicky to throw the bag his way. After he confirms it is full of pesos, Vicky asks him to fulfill his side of the deal… he says he will take the girls for a ride before turning them in, to make sure she did not bring her wingmen… Angel goes into action, grabbing lead thug from behind. Nicky, who will not be denied her part of the action, gets out of the car and before the other thug can do anything, Arriaga urges her to run hard, she gets to Vicky… but the other thug points his gun and shoots at them… we see Guerito jumping in… too bad he forgot his bullet proof vest at home… or did he? We see smoke bouncing back from his leather jacket, maybe he did wear a vest… otherwise he must have failed his bodyguard save-your-own-skin 101 course. If he did take a bullet for Vicky and Nicky, Nicky BETTER change her attitude toward him.
Stay tuned… tomorrow… same bat-time, same bat-channel, same bat-heroes with guns and hugs…

Por ella soy Eva #98 12/5/12: The Episode Where Girls Share Secrets, Boys Will Be Boys and Nacos Are Not Stupid!
Wednesday, December 5th - Good evening to all,
We start off with Rebeca bothering the Virgencita (thank you, to Melinama) about giving her “goodies’ to Oneismo (the fool).
Helena is in Pluti’s office getting ready to look at his computer for proof, when she gets to a file labeled- Pluti’s Projects. He walks in. She told him that she was looking for some Playa Mayagua information and she feels terrible about using his computer. Pluti is thrilled. What’s mine is yours, we will be married soon.
Fernando jumps the line at an agency in search of a job and is nicely placed back in his right place in line behind the woman who was patiently waiting. Of course, he has to make some inappropriate, chauvinistic type comments to the woman because it’s a transportation company, that I guess in his mind they should only hire men.
Lucia notices that Helena is very pensive and asks her- What’s up? Helena said just thinking about work and Eva enters and asks Lucia for last month’s price lists or quotes from Mayagua Beach. Eva clumsily sits down and starts teasing Lucia about being the girlfriend of the President’s assistant. Eva tells Lucia to thread lightly with Renato.
Fernando and the other candidate are waiting for the results of the interview, he is sure that he has the position based on his resume and just being him.
Lucia asks if Eva knows something about Renato. Santi also told her to take it slow. Eva says that Renato is not for Lucia and Lucia comes to the conclusion that he is a womanizer, a sailor, with a woman in every port, every company. (Lucia began the novella as a strong, independent woman and has now become a babbling fool; I hope to see her transform back to the first Lucia and very soon because her screeching voice is starting to bother me) Eva notes that Helena has been a little different lately too. Helena has a lot going on in her mind and she can’t shake it.
Renato is going to treat Santi and his wife and Lucia to a little celebration for his promotion.
Eva asks again about the thesis and wants to read it but Helena has packed it up and when she unpacks she will give it to her. Helena asks why is Eva so interested in it, Eva says that it was plagiarized and Helena claims that its not. It’s a coincidence.
Adriano (in love)- pops his head in and invites Eva to go out with him but she can’t, she is going to the wedding planner with Helena. Men, they just love to touch says Eva, as Juan/Eva touches Helena.
Santi is encouraging Renato to go out with Lucia but Renato is not feeling her. He doesn’t know how to tell her and Santi (for the first time, says something semi-intelligent) tells him be direct with her. Renato says, thanks but I really don’t want advice from you and Santi understands, but then he teases Renato by asking him- how many women are you going out with? Renato lies and says that he is a one-night stand type of guy. Santi is going to teach Renato- Juan Carlos’ moves- first deceive them and make them think that they are the only ones or just be indifferent, they will tire of that, like how you are with your wife? Santi didn’t think that was funny and told Renato that Lucia doesn’t deserve to suffer, she is a good woman. Which is true.
At the wedding planner lunch, the girls are looking through catalogues trying to pick themes, some looked like the Addams Family, Batman, Mexican but not like Frida Calo, etc. The planner was so confused. Eva wasn’t pleased with any of her ideas.
Silvia calls Helena to ask about the location of some papers. Helena explains that Silvia is packing. Eva notes again that Helena is a little nervous and needs someone to confide in. Helena confides in Eva and tells her that Juan Carlos is alive. Eva does her- Que, que, what??? Trying to feign surprise.
Fernando did not get the job that he felt he was more qualified for.
Helena begs Eva not to tell anyone the news. Eva’s lips are sealed. She explains the whole fake death bit to Eva. (wink, wink)
The music teacher calls Marsela, she thinks its because she hasn’t paid him and will pay him tomorrow but he tells her that Kevin has missed a few classes and when he comes his is not interested. He is talented and the teacher doesn’t want to see the talent go to waste.
Helena explains that she hasn’t given Juan the opportunity to explain everything. How does she feel? Used, deceived, etc. Eva suggests that she give Juan Carlos a chance and here comes Pluti.
Fernando and Kevin are at home playing like the boys that they are. Kevin wants to stay at home with his brother (oops, father Fernando) and Fernando is encouraging him to stay at home. Marsela asks Jennifer why didn’t she tell her that Kevin was missing the harp classes? Jennifer didn’t notice. Marsela tells Kevin to get ready to go to class and the doorbell rings. It’s the third son, (boyfriend) Daniel. Marsela now knows why Jennifer didn’t have a clue about Kevin, and does the boy have a home?
Pluti wants to know what is the matter with Helena and Eva tells him that it's girl talk. They have their monthly visitors (those days), so that they are sad, agitated and hormonal. Pluti buys it.
Eugenia and Claudia are at the music school and the teacher recognizes and compliments Eugenia on her interpretation of “A Midnight Summer’s Dream”. Kevin sees Claudia and is love struck and Claudia is quiet for once.
Pluti brings Helena home and offers to help with the move, but she doesn’t need any help.
Juan Carlos calls Helena- Juan begs Helena not t hang up but to give him a chance to tell her everything in detail. They will meet in a spot that they both know at 12 the next day. Why did she say, yes? Because she loves him. Juan is doing the happy dance. Mimi asks if he is going to tell Helena about Eva. Juan feels that it is counterproductive to tell her about Eva before he tells her his story. Helena calls Eva to tell her that Juan called and she will see him tomorrow. Eva convinces Helena to listen to him and have faith. Mimi is going to light her candles and ask for help from all saints, because Juan needs it. Happy, happy, joy, joy.
At the celebration- Lucia is complimented on her dress and how tasteful it is. Santi suggests that Angelica take a page from Lucia’s fashion book. Let’s have a toast!! Angelica has been called to model in the gentleman’s magazine- “El”
Santi and his wife are having a debate about her job. She is an artistic, erotic, nude model, not a pornographic one. Santi doesn’t want her to have a career, according to her. She then asks Renato and Lucia for their opinion and Renato agrees with her. Santi wants her to be a model that is dressed. Renato and Lucia leave.
Renato takes Lucia home and they talk about how Santi and Angelica always end up arguing. They are like oil and water. According to Lucia, they won’t end up like that because she is a super girlfriend and comes from a good family. (This is getting painful to watch because Lucia deserves someone like Santi who will truly love her) Lucia wants Renato to stay but he has to get up early and go to the office, she reminds him that its Friday night and he doesn’t have work in the morning. He finds any excuse not to stay and leaves. Lucia thinks that she should be more like Angelica!
Eugenia and Claudia are discussing the music classes that she previewed. When Modesto came home she greeted him like the good child that she can be and tells him about the music classes. Finally, a breakthrough! Kudos to Eugenia!
At the Escuderos apartment- Angelica knows that Santi is mad with her and makes him a sandwich. Angelica feels that Santi should be proud of her and support her in reaching her dreams. She wants to be famous. (like Linda Lovelace.)
At Rebeca’s house- Oneismo pays her a late night call. She is wearing one of her numerous animal prints, she even has a night collection. He is looking for some payment and not of the financial type. She’s an aristocrat and he is a naco. He let’s her know that he has the video that she was looking for and without Pluti’s knowledge. Oneismo also has proof that Pluti framed Juan Caballero.
At Fernando’s house- Fernando tries to re-enter the marital bed and Marsela tells him- no way, not until your find a job. Fernando blames the fact that he hasn’t found a job on the global unemployment- huh?? Marsela can put in a word with some contacts from Grupo Imperio. Fernando being the manly man that he is returns to the couch.
Angelica is eating and teasing Santi- (honestly, I wish that I could eat like her and keep her figure- she is always eating). She teases Santi with a little bit eat the sandwich by playing airplane, which turns in a love bite.
Rebeca seduces Oneismo in order to get the proof of Pluti’s involvement in the fraud. She asks him to bring it to her. Oneismo wants her body and soul. Again she bothers the Virgencita. I had a flashback of LFMB- with Tomas and Alicia

Amor Bravío #78 (Uni 73) Wed 12/5/12 "Pass the Hankies Por Favor!"
Camila’s Cabana: Lic Becerra is relieved that Camila knows the
truth about Daniel now and no one has to hide information anymore. Camila is impatient to get back the business matter of how to
handle ownership of El Rancho between herself and Daniel. Daniel explains he would like to transfer the
lands to Camila, but if he does, she will be in danger again from the two and
half crooks. Lic Becerra is especially
worried about Dio because there is no evidence to incriminate him yet. Lic Bec tries to warn Camila about Dio but is
beating around the bush. Camila grows
increasingly impatient with him. Dan
steps in and offers to help to tell the secret that Lic Bec is avoiding. “Otro secreto?” spits Camila, “Por
supuesto!” Dan and Lic Bec look
sheepishly at one another. Dan explains
that the Lic Bec doesn’t want to break the confidence of Amanda (because we
think Lic Bec has the warmies for Amanda and wants to stay on her good
list). Dan explains to Camila that Dio
is a flim-flam man with many aliases, one being Hector Gutierrez. Many years ago, Sr Gutierrez was married to
Amanda of El Pueblo and Natalia is their daughter (hija de ambos). “Que?” Camila is impactada and for one split
second we are spared her yelling about all of the secretos.
