Teresa Thu 8/25/11 #124 Freak shark attack reported in resort town outside Mexico City
We begin this capitulo with a replay of the Barreras getting busy, pobre-style.
CHEZ CACERES. Rueben has come to sweet talk Aida, but she’s generally unreceptive. He wants to make nice and would like nothing better than be back with Mayra, but Aida’s seen to this movie before and knows that the guy with the bigote is lying.
Rubes laments his current situation—no money, no family, can’t get a job bcz of the scandal. Aeeeeeeeeeeeeeda warns him that he’s barking up the wrong tree if he’s there to ask for money. He says he just stopped by to see how she’s doing. Strangely enough, she opens up to him about her woes.
They move on to discuss the disturbing creepitude that is Roots. Rubes looks more and more uncomfortable as Aida talks about crazy lady’s plan to literally replace her dead son with a new baby. He offers to stop his paternity suit if Aida wants him to. She waffles, but once she finds out that the rrrrrrrrata de vecindad is on the other side of the lawsuit, she wants her dad to win the hell out of it, just to show up that arribista. They get in some gloating over Ter’s recent downfall (El Bigote doesn’t have much room to gloat here, really). I believe she says she’ll even hold up the sale of the LT condos just to keep Ter from getting any pesos. Spiteful much?
VECINDAD: Too-Hot-Pati and Grumps mostly FF--> Long story short, she should be in school, he’s gonna get surgery tomorrow. He was more a parent to her than her real parents. She’s all he’s got in the world.
CHEZ JUANA: Juana reads a letter from Aurora, and we fade into a voice-over of the lady herself explaining that she just had to get away from it all—especially Mariano. His kiss has changed her life, but he’ll never get over Ter. She doesn’t want to be his paño de lagrimas (tear-towel) again.
CASA BARRERA, ahem, CASA FERNANDO: Fer and Luisa are in some major besofest. They decide to stay the night and presumably christen the casa as theirs.
VECINDAD: Art is still asleep the morning after their kitchen lovin, but Tiburoncita is up and thought-bubbling internal ultimatums. If he doesn’t accept some moolah from Fer pronto, she is going to tomar las riendas de mi vida (take the reins in my life) like she always has. Viewerville has no doubts as to what exactly she will be taking in hand. Or rather who. Art wakes up and Ter immediately starts in on how they gotta get out of the VC. Art notes how quickly she is backtracking on the ‘by his side’; but she says that she will go anywhere else, no matter how humble, just not this particular VC. She leaves in a bit of a huff.
HOSPITAL: Dr Sanchez reassures the THP gang that Grumps will be ok. Does anybody really care? Buttberto gives some cash to help pay for the surgery, despite the fact that we all know that Grumps is well off. I suppose it’s just to make the rather down-on-Butts viewership think that he’s a tipazo. Butts shares his grand plan of making Juana jealous by pretending to gigolo it up with Odiana.
VCD: Ter decides to show Art what pobre life is really all about and shuts off the hot water while he is in the shower. This leads to what my husband referred to as a “gratuitous shower scene”, complete with unnecessary lingering on SR’s dripping bod as he is subjected to the horror of cold water. Ter leaves him to his fate.
HOSP. CORRIDOR: Mar harasses Juana about Aurora’s dondeabouts. He at least wants J to plead his case with Aurora. He never knew what a good thing he had with her until he lost it. J softens and spills the Cuernavaca beans. He is rewarded with a hug, and I thought for a second there it was going to be a kiss. He really spreads it around.
Mar promises J he won’t finger her as the bean spiller. Hector shows up and sends Mar off. He talks to J about how mad he is at Mar. He hopes that Aurora never sees his stupid face again. Mar “ya paso de la raya.” (was out of line, took it too far)
VCD: Art is leaving for the day, and sneezes, apparently having caught a cold from the horror of the shower. As he gets out his monogrammed silk hankie, some VCD thugs eye his fancy watch. They discuss their target as they amble over: “le viste la muñeca?” (muñeca meaning both wrist and doll, not sure here if they are specifically referring to the fancy watch on his wrist, or mocking Art as a dandy, or perhaps it’s a terribly clever vecindad pun that encompasses both). In any event, Art proves he’s a man up to the challenge by hitting the panic button on his car key. The new cop comes running and warns Art not to keep his fancy car and fancy watch her in the VCD.
HOSP LOBBY: Juana arrives and she and Butts argue. Yawn.
CASA FER: Fer tries to convince Art to move into his apartment. Art, now having been truly subjected to the horrors of VCD life, reluctantly agrees, as long as he can pay some rent. Fer wants to tell Ter right away, but Art wants to prepare a special surprise. That just smacks of foreshadowing, if you ask me.
Fer gives Art his keys to the apartment and a suspicious amount of attention is paid to the keychain, which is a memento of Art’s parents. Art and Fer share a minimal contact, hands on the shoulder embrace (SharkByte, is that an approved BroHug form?) and Art declares their friendship “inquebrantable” (unbreakable). Is it just me, or do ya’ll see that shark-shaped anvil too?
SOMEWHERE ELSE IN CASA FER: Luisa and Ter discuss her moving (back) into the house. Ter gives her keys. Luisa wants Ter to keep them though because she is a total sucker. Luisa confirms that she and Odiana will be leaving Fernando unguarded, errr, going to the spa for the next few days.
HOSP LOBBY: THP pleads Butt’s case.
Later on, Mar tells the THP gang the good news about Grumps’ surgery. Butts gets so excited he smooches Juana, and she freaks. She runs Butts off.
Ter comes in to check on Grumps. Really? No, she’s really there to see Mar, let’s face it. Juana confesses to Ter about spilling the CV beans about Aurora. She is worried that she’s gonna get in trouble about the Mar slip, and Ter is furiosa. She pretends it’s cuz Juana should have respected her amiga’s wishes, but we all know it’s because Mar wanted to see Aurora so badly. Ter selflessly volunteers to go to CV to warn Aurora.
BOUTIQUE: Art shops for Ter. He knows his lady—he finds an expensive, tight dress, and asked the saleslady to help him find some shoes and bag to match (haga juego).
VCD: Art returns to their little love nest with presents for Ter. This is actually a very sweet scene—he lays everything out on the bed for her to see and puts a note on top. It makes my heart hurt, knowing about that anvil that is hanging over Artie’s head right now.
Luisa shows up, she’s happy about Art’s decision, and drops off her departamento keys. Oh yes, she is going to CV as well. Everyone’s going to CV. Lu mentions that Ter went to the hospital and Art immediately suspects a Mariano visit. Luisa tells Art not to be jealous; Ter just went to see Grumps, duh. Everyone suddenly cares about Grumps.
GRUMPS’ HOSP ROOM: Mar heads off happily to CV.
HOSP LOBBY: Ter and Juana talk about the CV bean spill some more. Ter lets drop that she and Art are having problems that have nothing to do with Mariano (for once). Armando shows up with some papers for Ter to sign, which she does and tells him she’s off to CV.
CHEZ ROOTS N BOOTS N NUTS: Rubes shows up and he and Geno share some gross reunion besos. Everything is set for the kidnapping/adoption scheme. Rubes has apparently given in to the Paulo naming. We hear that Roots is keeping Rubes on a short monetary leash these days.
CHEZ FER: Odiana and Lu head to CV. As Lu takes her leave of Fer, we once again see THE KEYCHAIN. Lu gave it to him so that he would remember her always. And the only woman he is allowed to be with while Lu is gone is Teresa. Oh, if only she knew.
GRUMPS’ HOSP ROOM: Now Art has gone to see Grumps? QTF? Grumps is grumpy. Turns out Art is just looking for Ter. He finds out that Mar went to CV. Johnny keeps talking, but meh.
CUERNAVACA: A very sexy Mar shows up in CV and scares the grocery bags right out of Aurora’s hands. He offers her a flower and asks her forgiveness. She’s heard this song before and rejects his apology rose. How can she resist his dark, smoldering charm? Oh wait, it kind of looks like he has chest hair stubble to match his 3-day beard; that’s a little disconcerting. Anyway, he begs her to hear him out, just as Ter walks into hearing range.
Oh, I thought she was going to spy a bit. Nope, she barges right in and tells Mar that Aurora wants none of him. She came to CV to get away from him. Aurora corrects: ‘I came to get away from everyone, TERESA.” Mar tells Ter to amscray, and she tells him to amscray, but Aurora stands up for herself and says that she will be the decider here. And what she wants is for Ter to leave her and Mar alone. Ter is shocked. Shocked, I say.
Aurora clearly and firmly states that she is indeed kicking Teresa out. Ter is quite affronted, and tries to take the high ground about coming there to help her as her mejor amiga, but Aurora, who totally took her spine vitamins this morning, interrupts her and say that she doesn’t really want to see her just now. So smell ya later. Ter is PO’d as she leaves.
GRUMPS’ HOSP ROOM: THP, Butts, Grumps talk about the food Grumps can’t eat anymore. Juana enters and Butts leaves. THP goes with him.
Later Espe comes in and she and J talk about Juana’s BIG SECRET (her infertility) while Grumps pretends to be asleep, but overhears.
CV: Allright Team Maurora, this is it. Mar goes in full throttle. He was stupid to never have seen what a great woman he had by his side all these years. She says ‘yeah, the one that you never knew how to appreciate’. ‘But I did!” Mar goes into a long speech on Aurora’s many charms (he mentioned bondad twice, so i had to look it up-goodness), and she looks like she’s softening a little. He finally confesses that he had wanted to ask her to be novios before, but she had just started with Martin. And then later, he was with Aida, so well, you know. He just wants a chance to show her that he really does appreciate and ‘querer’ her now (no amar yet!).
HOSP LOBBY: Art finds Armando and asks after Ter. Armando tells Art about Ter going to CV. Art assumes the worst and looks more devastated than mad. Armando can’t give him any details about Ter’s reason for going to CV. Uh-oh. I can see the stress showing on that rope holding the anvil.
CV: Mar leans in for a kiss, but Aurora holds strong against the all-out charm assault. She doesn’t want to end up disappointed like Aida. Plus she needs a little Aurora time to deal with all these new emotions in her life. Dude, if you love something, set it free man.
Mar admits he messed up, but wants a chance to show her that he’s changed. He leaves the flower, and she just walks off, leaving Mar to show himself out. And guess who’s waiting. She just knew that he would forget this stupid Aurora plan, because who he really loves is her.
And I think we all know what happens in Cuernavaca stays in Cuernavaca.

La Fuerza del Destino #16 Wed 08/24/11 Ivan Lays the Groundwork for his Master Plan, the Meandragons Implode, and Camilo Goes on a Guilt Trip
Recap by Urban Anthropologist
I missed some details in this one, so here's hoping someone will fill in the blanks for us.
Antes, the whole closing scene from yesterday:
Ivan dines with Maripaz and pretends to romance her. He gives her the idea that nothing will happened between them without her getting a divorce. Carlota consoles Lucia over Lucrazia's ridiculous tirade, telling her that their money problems are the result of Lucrazia's past mistakes. If it comes to that they'll sell the house and live at the ranch. Esther waits up for Maripaz, who argues with David, then demands a divorce. In the morning Maripaz tells her that she won't have to wait up for her anymore and says that David has an announcement. JJ asks whether they're telling them that they will be abuelos (yeah, you wish). Judith jumps for joy, even Saul says “You didn't waste any time” in a nice-teasing way, but David announces that they will be getting a divorce. JJ assumes this is about their money situation, but Maripaz opens her big mouth about David's ED, saying that he couldn't cut the mustard on the honeymoon and that he's gay. He denies that, saying he has an impotence problem and the family feud goes on.
Ivan calls Lucia and arranges to have lunch with her.
Nuevo
La bodega: Camilo and Ivan talk about Ivan's sadness about his mother and his son. Camilo tries to tell him that it's been years, but Ivan tells him it's like an open wound in its heart. He intends to make the Curiels pay big for what they did to him, his mother, and his son. “You told me Lucrazia pushed for Lucia's engagement and Maripaz' marriage because of money and position.” Camilo responds “I suspected that.”
Casa Mondragon: Juan Heil-Me really lets David have it, going on about “Nobody gets a divorce in this house” and how a loca and a poco hombre will not bring shame on him. He turns to Saul and tells him not to get any stupid ideas either. After he and Saul leave the room Maripaz yells to Esther and David that she will seek a divorce on grounds of incompatibility without telling the truth, then exits. Esther asks Judith to talk to Maripaz, to reason with her; Judith tells her that when Maripaz gets onto something God can't make her change her mind.
E: Why didn't you tell me she was so willful, so bad?
J: I thought she was in love with David, but if my brother has this problem, it's normal for...
E: It's not normal. A wife who discovers a husband's weakness should be patient, affectionate, not argumentative and running out in the middle of the night, leaving him alone Do you know where she went?.
J: No, Mama. With her friends, or to a party...
E: Don't tell me she was with another man.”
Señora, usted es una avestruz.
La bodega: Camilo and Ivan talk about Lucia's engagement, with Ivan saying something about Ivan messing with this. Camilo understands about Maripaz, but not Lucia. Ivan tells him he'll be doing her a favor because Saul isn't right for her. This segues into Ivan's expression of gratitude to Camilo for saving his life. Camilo looks confused, then Ivan tells him about what Antolin told him after the fight was over and that he will always be grateful. Camilo looks like he's about to panic.
Tony enters, talking about buying this location. He and Ivan walk off, with Camilo thinking about Antolin's lie.
Commercial break
School: Lucia talks to a kid who stays up all night watching inappropriate TV programs in his room. It sounds like his parents pay little attention to him. Saul calls Lucia to apologise about the other day [Why is she answering her cell phone during a session with a patient?] and to ask her out. She tells him she has a lunch date with colleagues. He buys it and hangs up.
Casa Curiel: Maripaz tells Cleto to take her suitcases out of her (David's) car, then tells Carlota what just went down. She gloats over how this almost gave JJ a heart attack. Again David's impotence is mentioned (There is no privacy in either of these families). Just as she leaves the room Esther calls to talk to Lucrazia, but ends up telling Carlota the ugly details of the argument. How JJ was furious and won't permit a divorce. We have to get them to reconcile. Good luck with that.
Hotel Lobby: Ivan and Tony discuss business, with Ivan asking Camilo whether his sister would like to work for them. He says he thinks so because she currently works in a restaurant for minimum wage and tips. The chauffeur didn't show up and Camilo asks for the day off to take care of personal stuff. Ivan tells Tony he has an appointment and they briefly mention locating the maid who worked for the Curiels when Maripaz was pregnant. After Tony leaves Camilo tells Ivan it's about his ex, then makes an uncomfortable exit. The desk clerk tells Ivan that Maripaz had called; he tells her that he is not in to Maripaz in future.
Bar: Camilo looks for Antolin; he's pissed as he walks out.
Casa Galvan: Antolin is at home, taking heat from the womenfolk. Camilo slugs Antolin over the lie about the knifing. Antolin says he had no choice and a few other things I didn't get. From Celia's reaction it's obvious neither of the guys told her about this.
Hotel: Lucia appears to dine with Ivan and they talk about her work and the two kids she dealt with that morning. One had found a pistol and a dead body, the other is the TV addict. PSA about kids having TV in their rooms not being a good thing because parents don't control what kids watch [Editorial remark: That's why this story airs at 9PM EST.] He changes the subject to his confrontation with Carlota and asks for her understanding. She tells him that in the end she couldn't lie to him. He is grateful for her honestly. Flashback to their childhood and the pool incident. He explains that he was fascinated with Maripaz, with the intense feelings of an inexperienced youth, but was only an adventure for Maripaz. “But I was in love with her like an idiot.”
L: Are you still in love with her?
I: Is that important to you?
L: No. I know what my sister's feelings are.
Casa Curiel: As Carlota gazes at the portrait of Don Teodoro, Lucrazia gets home complaining about what's going on at the ranch. Carlota tells her about Maripaz coming home. Lucrazia gets on Maripaz' case, telling her she's to go back now and apologise. Maripaz refuses, claiming she has better prospects. When Lucrazia says there are no better prospects for her she tells her that she has one that's much richer and generous: Ivan McGuire. Lucrazia flips her lid over this, screaming about Ivan being the child of a servant. Maripaz loses it after hearing Lucia told Ivan what really happened to the baby.
These two need to get over themselves. The trouble with narcissists is they never face the fact they have issues.
Commercial break
Casa Curiel: Lucrazia tells Maripaz to give up this idea because Ivan hates them. They won't be getting any help from his company and Maripaz better return to her husband's house. Maripaz asks “He hates Lucia, too?” “Didn't I just say he hates all of us?” Lucrazia leaves in frustration and Maripaz picks up the phone. The hotel receptionist tells her that Ivan is not in. She pouts.
Hotel: Ivan tells Lucia about Alicia's death and that it's all the fault of the man who made her pregnant. Then Mari's rejection and the loss of his son. He sees she is crying, goes to her and apologises. He kisses her and she turns away. He asks her to help him find his child. She would accompany him on the weekend to meet with Incarnación, the maid who worked for the Curiels. Surely she would remember Lucia and that would be helpful. Lucia isn't sure what to tell her mother. Ivan suggests the truth or to make something up, anything. She isn't happy about this, but he pleads with her in the name of old friendship. He then gets the food, but she makes an excuse. He insists on giving her his cell number. A kiss and a few tears later she leaves without eating anything. Ivan realizes he's interested in her.
Universidad: Esther talks to David – who hasn't been home all day – over the phone about Maripaz' departure and JJ's anger. David appears to have no intention of returning. After he ends the call Lucia appears. He starts to tell her what happened and she spares him having to repeat it. She tells him there is a professor there who can help, but he doesn't want it known all over the place (talk about playing ostrich) and wants her to help him. She tells him she doesn't have the background for this, but that they could try once.
This is so wrong on so many levels.
Casa Mondragon: JJ demands to know where David and Maripaz are, peppered with insulting remarks, as usual, and he's obviously in denial about how many tongues are already wagging (in the wrong way).
Hotel: Ivan tells Tony about his conversation with Lucia and how complicated the encounter was. He asked her to accompany him on the weekend to meet with the maid. Tony asks him whether this is a good idea, in view of Lucia being unmarried and with a fiancé. Ivan answers that she hadn't accepted yet, but said she would think about it.
Casa Lomeli: Carolina talks to Antolin about his fight with Camilo. He's one cynical dude, with no belief in personal integrity: “Este mundo no es por honorados”. Gerry comes home and Antolin mentions the possibility of him helping him out about a business. Before he leaves he roughhouses with Alex before changing into shorts so they can play football.
Casa McGuire: Tony and Ivan talk about Ivan's need for justice and his need to find his child. He needs to know what happened, whether the child was adopted and by whom. He doesn't want to live forever with the anger. He's angry at the indifference from Mari's family at their own flesh and blood. Tony agrees and expresses empathy, but also the wish that the innocent are protected and that this doesn't cause more hurt than good. Wise dude.
Commercial break
Casa Curiel Morning. JJ arrives – ominously dressed in black – to drag Maripaz back by her hair. Lucrazia and Carlota are having their morning coffee as they talk about Mari and David.
L: I've told her in a thousand different ways why she should go back to him but she's being naughty [necia]. She only insists on a divorce.
C: If she doesn't want to what are we going to do? Neither is Maripaz a girl who can be made to do what you want.
Cleto enters to announce JJ's arrival and Lucrazia isn't really ready to deal with him.
C: Surely he's come for Maripaz.
Lucrazia expresses frustration but doesn't give instructions to put him off. She gets up and runs her fingers through her hair with an expression of resignation. Interesting how she's willing to face this music and not other.
Hotel: As Ivan works on his laptop the desk calls to tell him that Maripaz is calling for him.
Clerk: Will you take the call or should I say you aren't here?
He consents to take the call although he'd rather not.
I: Hola, Maripaz.
M: Hello, my love. They said you weren't here. I was thinking you not want to talk to me because of the lies Lucia told about me.
I: No, what it is is I've been a little busy.
M: You don't believe them, do you?
I: Look, I don't want to talk about your sister or that you talk about us.
M (only momentarily impactada): Can we see each other later?
I: Of course we can.
M: Good. Call me at my mother's home. I told the whole family about the divorce. How's that?
I (satisfied facial expression): That's very good.
Casa Curiel: JJ demands that Maripaz return to his home.
JJ: ... I've come for my daughter-in-law.
L: Maripaz doesn't want to go back, nor can we make her live with a man who is not a man.
JJ: Unimportant. Either she comes back or I will get her to.
C: This is not your home, Juan Heil-me. You can't just come here and [make demands].
JJ: Well, what do you think? That I want to look ridiculous in front of the whole world?
C: In this house we don't like shouting.
JJ (expression of mild irritation): I'm sorry, Doña Carlota. Lucrazia, this can't be. Leastwise now in front of the gringos. We must think of the scandal. We need those loans. I suppose it's as urgent for you as for me. [need help with the rest of his statement]
Nobody but the viewers realizes that Maripaz is eavesdropping.
L: What do you want us to do? Of course we need money, more than you do, but Maripaz is very stubborn [terca]. I was talking to her all evening and she doesn't want to..
JJ: Lucrazia, You are a smart woman. I'm sure you can make her understand. Explain the situation to her. She's to come back until the gringos give us the money and after that she can have what she wants. [Do we really believe him?]
L: Very well. I'll try one more time.
JJ: You don't know how grateful I am.
He starts talking about the dinner that Lucrazia wasn't present for and begins taking his leave. Maripaz ducks out of the hall so nobody knows she heard anything. He kisses Lucrazia's hand (this close-up obviously means something) and takes his leave with a minimum of mockery and a modicum of relief. I guess even Juan Heil-Me has to give it a rest once in a while.
C (after he leaves): Daughter, I say we should sell the house and live on the ranch.
L: I don't want to. If we do that everyone will know that we're in the water up to our necks.
C: Yes, I know. Everyone already knows. We're buried.
Lucrazia es impactada.
Bar: Saul gets boorish as usual, taking his frustration about Lucia out on the bartender. Antolin tries to calm him down.
I didn't get the fine details of their conversation, but the gist is that Antolin doesn't quite believe that Saul really has any feelings for Lucia. He suspects that the relationship is directed by JJ. Saul says something about Lucia being the only decent/respectable woman around.
Saul calls Lucia to ask her out to dinner but she puts him off, telling him she's tired and will talk to him another day. She hangs up before he can react. Saul pretends to still have her on the line, saying “Many kisses, my love.” He says nothing to Antolin, who probably figured out what happened.
Commercial break
Casa Galvan: Celia tries to talk to Camilo, who is still guilt-ridden over the incident. She asks who really killed the other guy. He tells her it doesn't matter and ironically, Ivan is grateful for his life being saved. But he's crying because Antolin accuses him of murder “...and he's my brother.” Celia tells him the family will stick together through anything. Camilo doesn't seem to buy it, getting up angrily and going on about Antolin [missing details here due to combination of anger and music]. He also goes on about how Antolin didn't give a damn about what happened to Ivan afterward. Celia seems to ignore what Camilo is implying, saying that Ivan did well, he's back, and Sra. Lucrazia could have had him arrested. Camilo is now deeply conflicted, resenting Ivan's good fortune compared to his own lack of it. He even owes his present job to him.
This guy also needs a shrink and Celia needs a reality check.
Casa Curiel: Lucia gets home as Lucrazia and Carlota talk about the girls,
L: I know they'll say it's all my fault and maybe they're right, but I always wanted the best for my daughters and my family.
C: I know, but what you think is best perhaps isn't for them. Maripaz and David have different tastes [gustos], and Lucia has broken it off with Saul. They have nothing in common.
L: How? When did this happen?
Lucia enters and kisses her mother.
Lucrazia: What's this about you breaking up with Saul?
C: Sorry, hija, but she had to know sooner or later.
Lucia: Mama, Saul and I are taking a break to see if we should stay together.
Maripaz – who was obviously eavesdropping again – enters with an attitude.
M: You broke up with Saul?
Lucia: That is not your business.
M: Of course it is my business. And you know why? Because you're still in love with Ivan. As you always were. Now that he's rich and has position, you're all over him.
Lucia: That is not true
M: Yes, it's true. Or why would you talk trash about me?
Lucia: No, I only told him the truth.
M: Your “truth”.
Lucia (trying to exit): I don't have to put up with this.
M (grabbing Lucia's arm and pulling her back): You're not leaving, coward. You don't have the guts to tell this in front of us.
Lucia: So I talked to him. He asked me some questions and I only answered truthfully. About everything you did.
M: I didn't do anything.
Lucia: You had a baby you tried to abort. The whole time you went on about hating the baby.
M: Don't you argue with me. One thing is clear: You're never going near Ivan again.
In your dreams, cualquiera.
Lucia and homeboy duet. I love the closing notes of that song.
Avances: Celos y rumores as the two sisters sharpen their claws and go at it over Ivan.
I missed some details in this one, so here's hoping someone will fill in the blanks for us.

School: Lucia talks to a kid who stays up all night watching inappropriate TV programs in his room. It sounds like his parents pay little attention to him. Saul calls Lucia to apologise about the other day [Why is she answering her cell phone during a session with a patient?] and to ask her out. She tells him she has a lunch date with colleagues. He buys it and hangs up.
Casa Curiel: Maripaz tells Cleto to take her suitcases out of her (David's) car, then tells Carlota what just went down. She gloats over how this almost gave JJ a heart attack. Again David's impotence is mentioned (There is no privacy in either of these families). Just as she leaves the room Esther calls to talk to Lucrazia, but ends up telling Carlota the ugly details of the argument. How JJ was furious and won't permit a divorce. We have to get them to reconcile. Good luck with that.
Hotel Lobby: Ivan and Tony discuss business, with Ivan asking Camilo whether his sister would like to work for them. He says he thinks so because she currently works in a restaurant for minimum wage and tips. The chauffeur didn't show up and Camilo asks for the day off to take care of personal stuff. Ivan tells Tony he has an appointment and they briefly mention locating the maid who worked for the Curiels when Maripaz was pregnant. After Tony leaves Camilo tells Ivan it's about his ex, then makes an uncomfortable exit. The desk clerk tells Ivan that Maripaz had called; he tells her that he is not in to Maripaz in future.
Bar: Camilo looks for Antolin; he's pissed as he walks out.
Casa Galvan: Antolin is at home, taking heat from the womenfolk. Camilo slugs Antolin over the lie about the knifing. Antolin says he had no choice and a few other things I didn't get. From Celia's reaction it's obvious neither of the guys told her about this.
Hotel: Lucia appears to dine with Ivan and they talk about her work and the two kids she dealt with that morning. One had found a pistol and a dead body, the other is the TV addict. PSA about kids having TV in their rooms not being a good thing because parents don't control what kids watch [Editorial remark: That's why this story airs at 9PM EST.] He changes the subject to his confrontation with Carlota and asks for her understanding. She tells him that in the end she couldn't lie to him. He is grateful for her honestly. Flashback to their childhood and the pool incident. He explains that he was fascinated with Maripaz, with the intense feelings of an inexperienced youth, but was only an adventure for Maripaz. “But I was in love with her like an idiot.”
L: Are you still in love with her?
I: Is that important to you?
L: No. I know what my sister's feelings are.
Casa Curiel: As Carlota gazes at the portrait of Don Teodoro, Lucrazia gets home complaining about what's going on at the ranch. Carlota tells her about Maripaz coming home. Lucrazia gets on Maripaz' case, telling her she's to go back now and apologise. Maripaz refuses, claiming she has better prospects. When Lucrazia says there are no better prospects for her she tells her that she has one that's much richer and generous: Ivan McGuire. Lucrazia flips her lid over this, screaming about Ivan being the child of a servant. Maripaz loses it after hearing Lucia told Ivan what really happened to the baby.
These two need to get over themselves. The trouble with narcissists is they never face the fact they have issues.
Commercial break
Casa Curiel: Lucrazia tells Maripaz to give up this idea because Ivan hates them. They won't be getting any help from his company and Maripaz better return to her husband's house. Maripaz asks “He hates Lucia, too?” “Didn't I just say he hates all of us?” Lucrazia leaves in frustration and Maripaz picks up the phone. The hotel receptionist tells her that Ivan is not in. She pouts.
Hotel: Ivan tells Lucia about Alicia's death and that it's all the fault of the man who made her pregnant. Then Mari's rejection and the loss of his son. He sees she is crying, goes to her and apologises. He kisses her and she turns away. He asks her to help him find his child. She would accompany him on the weekend to meet with Incarnación, the maid who worked for the Curiels. Surely she would remember Lucia and that would be helpful. Lucia isn't sure what to tell her mother. Ivan suggests the truth or to make something up, anything. She isn't happy about this, but he pleads with her in the name of old friendship. He then gets the food, but she makes an excuse. He insists on giving her his cell number. A kiss and a few tears later she leaves without eating anything. Ivan realizes he's interested in her.
Universidad: Esther talks to David – who hasn't been home all day – over the phone about Maripaz' departure and JJ's anger. David appears to have no intention of returning. After he ends the call Lucia appears. He starts to tell her what happened and she spares him having to repeat it. She tells him there is a professor there who can help, but he doesn't want it known all over the place (talk about playing ostrich) and wants her to help him. She tells him she doesn't have the background for this, but that they could try once.
This is so wrong on so many levels.
Casa Mondragon: JJ demands to know where David and Maripaz are, peppered with insulting remarks, as usual, and he's obviously in denial about how many tongues are already wagging (in the wrong way).
Hotel: Ivan tells Tony about his conversation with Lucia and how complicated the encounter was. He asked her to accompany him on the weekend to meet with the maid. Tony asks him whether this is a good idea, in view of Lucia being unmarried and with a fiancé. Ivan answers that she hadn't accepted yet, but said she would think about it.
Casa Lomeli: Carolina talks to Antolin about his fight with Camilo. He's one cynical dude, with no belief in personal integrity: “Este mundo no es por honorados”. Gerry comes home and Antolin mentions the possibility of him helping him out about a business. Before he leaves he roughhouses with Alex before changing into shorts so they can play football.
Casa McGuire: Tony and Ivan talk about Ivan's need for justice and his need to find his child. He needs to know what happened, whether the child was adopted and by whom. He doesn't want to live forever with the anger. He's angry at the indifference from Mari's family at their own flesh and blood. Tony agrees and expresses empathy, but also the wish that the innocent are protected and that this doesn't cause more hurt than good. Wise dude.
Commercial break
Casa Curiel Morning. JJ arrives – ominously dressed in black – to drag Maripaz back by her hair. Lucrazia and Carlota are having their morning coffee as they talk about Mari and David.
L: I've told her in a thousand different ways why she should go back to him but she's being naughty [necia]. She only insists on a divorce.
C: If she doesn't want to what are we going to do? Neither is Maripaz a girl who can be made to do what you want.
Cleto enters to announce JJ's arrival and Lucrazia isn't really ready to deal with him.
C: Surely he's come for Maripaz.
Lucrazia expresses frustration but doesn't give instructions to put him off. She gets up and runs her fingers through her hair with an expression of resignation. Interesting how she's willing to face this music and not other.
Hotel: As Ivan works on his laptop the desk calls to tell him that Maripaz is calling for him.
Clerk: Will you take the call or should I say you aren't here?
He consents to take the call although he'd rather not.
I: Hola, Maripaz.
M: Hello, my love. They said you weren't here. I was thinking you not want to talk to me because of the lies Lucia told about me.
I: No, what it is is I've been a little busy.
M: You don't believe them, do you?
I: Look, I don't want to talk about your sister or that you talk about us.
M (only momentarily impactada): Can we see each other later?
I: Of course we can.
M: Good. Call me at my mother's home. I told the whole family about the divorce. How's that?
I (satisfied facial expression): That's very good.
Casa Curiel: JJ demands that Maripaz return to his home.
JJ: ... I've come for my daughter-in-law.
L: Maripaz doesn't want to go back, nor can we make her live with a man who is not a man.
JJ: Unimportant. Either she comes back or I will get her to.
C: This is not your home, Juan Heil-me. You can't just come here and [make demands].
JJ: Well, what do you think? That I want to look ridiculous in front of the whole world?
C: In this house we don't like shouting.
JJ (expression of mild irritation): I'm sorry, Doña Carlota. Lucrazia, this can't be. Leastwise now in front of the gringos. We must think of the scandal. We need those loans. I suppose it's as urgent for you as for me. [need help with the rest of his statement]
Nobody but the viewers realizes that Maripaz is eavesdropping.
L: What do you want us to do? Of course we need money, more than you do, but Maripaz is very stubborn [terca]. I was talking to her all evening and she doesn't want to..
JJ: Lucrazia, You are a smart woman. I'm sure you can make her understand. Explain the situation to her. She's to come back until the gringos give us the money and after that she can have what she wants. [Do we really believe him?]
L: Very well. I'll try one more time.
JJ: You don't know how grateful I am.
He starts talking about the dinner that Lucrazia wasn't present for and begins taking his leave. Maripaz ducks out of the hall so nobody knows she heard anything. He kisses Lucrazia's hand (this close-up obviously means something) and takes his leave with a minimum of mockery and a modicum of relief. I guess even Juan Heil-Me has to give it a rest once in a while.
C (after he leaves): Daughter, I say we should sell the house and live on the ranch.
L: I don't want to. If we do that everyone will know that we're in the water up to our necks.
C: Yes, I know. Everyone already knows. We're buried.
Lucrazia es impactada.
Bar: Saul gets boorish as usual, taking his frustration about Lucia out on the bartender. Antolin tries to calm him down.
I didn't get the fine details of their conversation, but the gist is that Antolin doesn't quite believe that Saul really has any feelings for Lucia. He suspects that the relationship is directed by JJ. Saul says something about Lucia being the only decent/respectable woman around.
Saul calls Lucia to ask her out to dinner but she puts him off, telling him she's tired and will talk to him another day. She hangs up before he can react. Saul pretends to still have her on the line, saying “Many kisses, my love.” He says nothing to Antolin, who probably figured out what happened.
Commercial break
Casa Galvan: Celia tries to talk to Camilo, who is still guilt-ridden over the incident. She asks who really killed the other guy. He tells her it doesn't matter and ironically, Ivan is grateful for his life being saved. But he's crying because Antolin accuses him of murder “...and he's my brother.” Celia tells him the family will stick together through anything. Camilo doesn't seem to buy it, getting up angrily and going on about Antolin [missing details here due to combination of anger and music]. He also goes on about how Antolin didn't give a damn about what happened to Ivan afterward. Celia seems to ignore what Camilo is implying, saying that Ivan did well, he's back, and Sra. Lucrazia could have had him arrested. Camilo is now deeply conflicted, resenting Ivan's good fortune compared to his own lack of it. He even owes his present job to him.
This guy also needs a shrink and Celia needs a reality check.
Casa Curiel: Lucia gets home as Lucrazia and Carlota talk about the girls,
L: I know they'll say it's all my fault and maybe they're right, but I always wanted the best for my daughters and my family.
C: I know, but what you think is best perhaps isn't for them. Maripaz and David have different tastes [gustos], and Lucia has broken it off with Saul. They have nothing in common.
L: How? When did this happen?
Lucia enters and kisses her mother.
Lucrazia: What's this about you breaking up with Saul?
C: Sorry, hija, but she had to know sooner or later.
Lucia: Mama, Saul and I are taking a break to see if we should stay together.
Maripaz – who was obviously eavesdropping again – enters with an attitude.
M: You broke up with Saul?
Lucia: That is not your business.
M: Of course it is my business. And you know why? Because you're still in love with Ivan. As you always were. Now that he's rich and has position, you're all over him.
Lucia: That is not true
M: Yes, it's true. Or why would you talk trash about me?
Lucia: No, I only told him the truth.
M: Your “truth”.
Lucia (trying to exit): I don't have to put up with this.
M (grabbing Lucia's arm and pulling her back): You're not leaving, coward. You don't have the guts to tell this in front of us.
Lucia: So I talked to him. He asked me some questions and I only answered truthfully. About everything you did.
M: I didn't do anything.
Lucia: You had a baby you tried to abort. The whole time you went on about hating the baby.
M: Don't you argue with me. One thing is clear: You're never going near Ivan again.
In your dreams, cualquiera.
Lucia and homeboy duet. I love the closing notes of that song.
Avances: Celos y rumores as the two sisters sharpen their claws and go at it over Ivan.

Teresa Wed 8/24/11 #123 The Slap Heard ‘Round The World
REPRISE
Teresa and Mariano are conversing on the sidewalk at the vecindad. Mariano tells her about his feelings for Aurora, and Teresa is uncomfortably surprised at this news.
Teresa balks at the notion of Mariano having romantic feelings for Aurora. However he confesses these feelings have been brewing for some time. Now he hasn’t seen her in a couple of days and he can’t stand being away from her; he’s desperate. Teresa is dismissive. She says this isn’t love; he’s simply accustomed to being around her, nothing more.
Mariano disagrees. He previously wanted to start a relationship with Aurora, but then Martin came along. It was difficult for Mariano to see them together, but he knew he had no right to interfere; then he started up with Aida.
At this, Teresa quips that his tryst with Aida was just to make her jealous. Mariano rolls his eyes and is tired of this game. He corrects her – he really thought there was a chance with Aida – Teresa interrupts to point out it’s over with Aida, and so too will it be fleeting with Aurora. Mariano again disagrees: it’s different with Aurora; he realizes he has strong feelings for her.
Teresa, reverting to teenage drivel, snaps that she knows he’s just saying that to annoy HER. Mariano firmly says, “I want to be very clear, now that Martin is gone I will strive to earn the love of Aurora!”
As she fights back tears, she sarcastically says she hopes he doesn’t pass on Aurora as he did with Aida. Teresa turns and slowly walks away as she begins to lose her composure. While Mariano turns in typical guy fashion to check-out her curvy rear-end, he enjoys seeing that Teresa is a little crushed by his admission of romantic feelings for Aurora, as he thinks, “I hate to see you go baby, but I like to watch you leave!”
...AND STARRING DUMBASS JOHNNY, AS THE BEAVER
Too-Hot Patty’s grumbling grandfather is in a lot of pain, lying in bed with the worst stomach ache of his life. He must have drunk the water. Johnny comes barreling in showing everyone a big cake he got for the old grouch’s birthday. The old man says “Cake now? You want to kill me, you wild piece of crap?” Takes one to know one, dude.
Grumpelstiltskin obviously needs medical attention so they all go to the hospital.
CHAVES HOUSE
Juana enters the Chaves home to find Teresa having a good cry about Mariano, but Tiburoncita lies and says she’s upset about a client. Then she goes on a histrionic teenage-style rant about the current state of affairs, how Arturo is unwilling to do what is necessary to quickly get out of the vecindad (like selling his condo shares) and how some mean girls came over and made fun of her. Juana comforts Teresa as she acts like a sad 4-year old that got her feelings hurt.
HOSPITAL – HECTOR'S OFFICE
Aurora says her goodbyes to Hector as she is leaving for Cuernavaca. Aurora says she did not tell Mariano where she was going.
OUTDOOR CAFE
Esperanza and Juana are taking baby Rodrigo for a stroll. The subject of course turns to men. They agree Hernan is pretty cool, you know, for a guy. Juana says she’s glad Espe married a good man, because love is what matters. Espe reads between the lines and knows Juana is thinking of Boobberto. Espe thinks it would not be good for Schlepberto to marry the “rich lady” because he actually wants Juana.
TERESA'S APARTMENT
Teresa answers a knock at the door. Behind door number one, it’s Paquita’s “hunkasaurus-rex”, Fernando. He flirtatiously says Teresa looks even more youthful despite her living conditions and says, “Also, wherever you are, your beauty shines even more.” (Ok, that’s a good line; I’m going to have to use that sometime. I guess when you’re an international playboy you’ve got lines like that ready to go anytime.)
Fernando offers Teresa his economic support. She declines on the grounds she doesn’t want to abuse his friendship (yet).
Fernando gives Teresa the news that he will have his inheritance in three months, and will be married in one month. Teresa does a double-take and can’t believe it.
OUTDOOR CAFE
Esperanza advises Juana to tell Slopberto that she can’t have children. Juana says it’s too late for that because she has invested a lot of time with Hector.
Well, well, well... enter the dragon – it’s Ruben – he spots Espe and confronts her. He demands to see his child. Esperanza tells him he has no right to visitation, as she almost miscarried due to his boorish attack on her. Ruben says he was just desperate at the time. The situation is being reviewed before a judge and meanwhile he promised Arturo he wouldn’t disturb the baby; he only wants what’s best for his son.
TERESA'S APARTMENT
As Teresa and Fernando talk, they flirt and get closer and closer. Eventually they are sitting on the couch holding hands. Teresa says Oriana told her that Fer and Luisa were moving to Spain for a while, and she is going to miss him and parenthetically says she’ll miss Luisa too. He says those plans are still in flux and Tiburoncita is relieved.
Tere asks for his help convincing Arturo to sell his Turquoise Moon shares as she moves even closer to him.
And closer to him.
And closer still.
Suddenly Arturo barges into the apartment and catches them!
Fernando looks like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, and startled, they both quickly pull away from each other.
After Teresa awkwardly runs off to “borrow some sugar”, Arturo directly asks Fer if he told Teresa about the plan to test her. Fer says he didn’t violate the Bro Code on that particular item.
Fernando tells Arturo that Teresa doesn’t belong there; it’s a depressing place. Arturo disagrees.
Arturo says he and Teresa are going to stay in the vecindad a bit longer. Fer tells Arturo this is a mistake. Teresa is desperate to get out and it’s unfair that he has her there. Arturo says he just needs to be sure of Teresa’s love and because if she runs into Mariano... Fer abruptly shouts, “Enough, Arturo, you cannot go on doubting Teresa! Don’t you see the way she looks when she kisses you? Teresa has shown you that she loves you, but you’re a FOOL, you’re pushing TOO HARD!! So if she gets tired and goes from here, YOU will be the only culprit!!”
PARKING LOT
Ruben and his poorly behaved troglodyte sidekick, Fito, are walking through a parking lot plotting the kidnapping of baby Rodrigo.
Fito is dressed like he's going to a Leather Bar later. He just needs a pink feathered boa and he’s good to go. Hey Fito, update your wardrobe, every queen in the vecindad has a leather jacket just like that. Tool.
Ruben confirms with Fito that the kidnapping will take place on Saturday, during a party. Ruben gives Fito a piece of paper with the address. Fito isn’t familiar with the location, but Ruben tells him he will describe the layout to him in detail. The scene fades as these sleazes work out their plan.
Hey Ruben, I have a special dessert for you. I just made it myself. I left it on your doorstep. It's called “nature's corn”.
HOSPITAL CONFERENCE ROOM
Mariano walks into the conference room at a time when Aurora is usually there, but she is nowhere to be found. Magda says Aurora finished her shift and said she doesn’t have to return anymore. Magda said she would tell Aurora when to take her exam, and then Aurora left.
Mariano doesn’t understand; this will mean Aurora will be gone almost a month. Magda surmised from Aurora’s behavior that something was definitely wrong, but she didn’t pry. She figures it had to do with Aurora’s break up with Martin. But whatever the case, it is clear to Magda that Aurora is avoiding Mariano.
Mariano calls Aurora again, and again, she will not pick up his call. He leaves her a voice mail: Aurora, I think I have saturated your mailbox with my calls, but please call me. I send you a kiss.
In the hallway, Patty, Johnny, and Grumpy stop Aurora as she is leaving. They tell Aurora about Grumpy’s condition and she refers them to Dr. Dario.
BARRERA HOUSE
Teresa shows up to visit Luisa. Luisa says she thought Arturo would have changed his mind by now and returned back to the Barrera home, but Tere confirms that’s not going to happen. Tere then smiles her shark smile and says she feels better knowing Luisa is there with Fernando.
HOSPITAL CONFERENCE ROOM
Aurora is telling Magda about Patty’s grandfather and says she’s leaving now. Just then Mariano enters. Magda gets out of dodge.
Mariano walks toward Aurora saying it is good to finally see her. Aurora replies that she told Mariano she wanted to put some distance between them. Mariano says, “Yes, but that was when you were going to marry Martin, now you are not.”
As Aurora starts to respond, Mariano Sshh’s her. He softly tells her, “Aurora, you do not know how much I missed you. I have not stopped thinking about you. ”
He cups her face gently with both hands. He leans in and softly kisses her and gradually the kiss intensifies. Oh yeah baby... and...
SSSLLLAAAPPP!!!! Ohhhhhhh...
RE-JEC-TED and SLAPPED!! ..and that my friends is what guys call an erection killer.
Hey Mariano, welcome to Flaccid City.
Population: You
Poor Mariano.
She sunk his battleship.
That's a Sch-wing and a miss.
Mariano looks like he's going to cry. That hurts a man’s pride more than his face.
Aurora angrily shouts, “I SAID NO!!”
BARRERA HOUSE
Teresa and Luisa chit-chat about the wedding plans and Spain. Teresa made a three-day reservation at a spa in Cuernavaca for Oriana and Luisa as a wedding gift. Teresa says it will help them bond. But Teresa asks Luisa not to tell Oriana that it was her idea.
HOSPITAL CONFERENCE ROOM
Aurora asks Mariano to respect her decision [and give her space]. Aurora says Mariano had her affection for a long time, but he did not realize her value and love. Now she’s not sure she wants a romantic relationship with him. Mariano is perplexed and asks why. She’s angry about his kiss that ruined things with Martin; she feels she really let Martin down.
Mariano pleads with her and says he can’t go on without her. She pulls away and irately tells him she doesn’t want to start a relationship with him while he still wants Teresa! He denies that he is still controlled by his feelings for Teresa. Aurora doesn’t want to hear it. Johnny and Patty enter the conference room and interrupt. Aurora bolts out the door, barely saying goodbye. Mariano is dazed and confused.
BARRERA HOUSE
Fernando joins the conversation and Luisa confirms with him that she and Fer will be moving into the house since Arturo refuses to move back.
AIDA'S HOUSE
Aurora stops by Aida’s house, who wanted to talk with her before she leaves to Cuernavaca.
Aida just has to know if Mariano is going to Cuernavaca with Aurora. Aurora tries to get it through Aida’s thick skull that she’s trying to get away from Mariano. Aida is dying to know if Aurora is going to try to be with Mariano. Ultimately Aurora is not sure, but she says, “For the first time I’m thinking about my life before everyone else. And it may seem selfish, but I will not be left as always, this ‘Dawn’ is over.” Aida says she’s going to be sick.
TERESA’S APARTMENT
Teresa is alone and laments that Esperanza is living like a queen with Hernan, Juana is about to be doing the same; even Johnny and Patty have a better place than her!
She flashes back to memories of Mariano when they professed their love for each other, and how Teresa refused to stay with Mariano in the vecindad.
Then she flashes back to early memories of Arturo.
AIDA'S HOUSE
Aida says she can’t believe Aurora is talking like that – where is the sweet Aurora?
Aurora says Mariano ignored her as a woman for so long. But his kiss changed everything. She needs time to sort out her feelings. She’s sorry, but even though Aida is her friend, she cannot promise her that she will not start a romance with Mariano! Aida is definitely feeling sick now.
HOSPITAL – MARIANO'S OFFICE
Mariano sits alone in his office still feeling the sting to his ego from the slap heard ‘round the world.
He flashes back to memories of Aurora.
JUANA'S APARTMENT
Hector is at Juana’s apartment. They couldn’t convince Aurora to change her mind so now that she’s gone, Hector will have more time to devote to Juana.
HOSPITAL HALLWAY
Grumpy Gramps is leaving and Dr. Dario gives him the usual advice to get plenty of rest. Dr. Dario tells Grumpy that by medical order, he can’t be left alone because bleeding can occur at any time.
CUERNAVACA
The future Mrs. SharkByte (Aurora) walks into her backyard pool area at Cuernavaca dragging her Disney Princess suitcase behind.
She flashes back to memories of Martin. Her last memory flash is of Martin saying, “You’ll never look at me the way you looked at him, let alone kiss me like you kissed him.”
*** FOLKS, AT THIS POINT MY CABLE SERVICE WAS INTERRUPTED by the local Univision weather man and various alerts. I missed a few minutes so hopefully others can help fill in the gap.
PATTY’S APARTMENT
Teresa is telling Grumpy Gramps something about her toilet and Patty helping her. Gramps tells her to get lost.
JUANA’S APARTMENT
Pestberto is talking with Juana about being with him and not Hector. He asks Juana if they could hypothetically have their own children. Juana is on the verge of telling Slimeberto about her condition, when Mariano walks in, interrupting.
Stunkberto leaves for the night. Mariano begs Juana to tell him where Aurora went. Juana insists Aurora doesn’t want Mariano around. Mariano pleads with her, saying that Juana knows that Aurora loves him, and there is a lot that he wants to tell her.
PATTY’S APARTMENT
Grumpy Gramps goes nuts yelling at Johnny for putting his granddaughter in a position of having to be a maid for other people. They try to explain that Patty was just going to help out Teresa for a while, but Gramps won’t listen. He refers to Johnny as “loser crap”. I can’t argue with that. I’ll say this for Gramps, when he’s right, he’s right.
He continues insulting and yelling at Johnny and tells him to take off.
The other future Mrs. SharkByte (Patty) looks rather annoyed at her Gramps.
TERESA’S APARTMENT
Teresa complains that she has to clean the dishes. Arturo comes in and offers to help with the housework. Teresa looks so darn adorable as she gets the suds going in the sink. He comes up behind her and can’t help himself, as he embraces her from behind and goes for the ol’ neck kiss maneuver; a standard of the male repertoire.
The maneuver works as Teresa gets more and more turned-on and finally, it looks like Arturo and Teresa are experiencing a little wedded bliss after a very rough patch.
...and now you know what happened in Episode 123.

She can’t find a ‘decent’ p.j…. she is in a white satin robe… then she thinks that she can head over to La Bonita and get some of her clothes… she quietly sneaks out of Cruz de Amor.
Jero has got a necklace and pendant made with the ‘J’ very similar to Nata’s R necklace. He is crying, remembering the arguments with Nata and her throwing her wedding band down in front of him, he calls himself stupid (yeah that’s right)… he cries…
Padre goes to pick up Marina since she did not get home and it is getting late. He lets her know that Jero is back in La Bonita. She will go visit him tomorrow, need to get her books back from him.
Augie is sniffing the shirt that Nata borrowed and just returned to him (YUCK!!!) She is mingling with Gitana… she tells Gitana she feels so lonely and in despair. She makes believe Gitana tells her ‘I am here!’ Yes know that need to be thankful to Augie, but feel very lonely and empty inside.
Matt is carrying Adri to bed on horseback… He asks her whats up with Chema… she confesses she wants to seduce Chema so he will forget about Connie and her dad and Connie can get back together. Matt calls her crazy, pinching her cheeks… she is a great person. They get kissing…
M: I know its not right for me to kiss you because… I am a married man, and will be for the next 10 yrs.
A: Berta did not want to break the prenup?
M: No.. but I hope with my threat of not giving her even a peso, she will reconsider.
A: (laughs happy) Did you tell her that?? How great that you gave put a stop to that ‘vieja!’ Sorry for calling your wife ‘vieja’.
M: She’s my wife only on paper, but still I am not a free man.
A: I know why you married her. And knowing the reason makes you bigger in my eyes. So your civil state is not important to me, because I still love you.
M: And I am beginning to (love you).
A: Then we don’t have to wait 10 yrs to be together.
M: Course not.
A: But not a word to Chema about it. Because otherwise my plan to seduce him will end.
M: But you have to end that soon. I don’t like you flirting with Chema.
A: Do you really not like it?
M: Really.. (more kissing)
Augie goes and knocks in Nata’s room, realizes she is not there and gets mad instantly.
Jero is sleeping in his bed, Nata sneaks in the window, sees the necklaces and gets on her knees to talk to the sleeping Jero…
N: I was so undecided… but it must be fate that decided things would turn out like this. You surely thought anything of me, except that I was running away, and not precisely from you. (she holds the necklace).. that is how it started… with a pendant, with a letter… You could not forgive that I was your brother’s girl, even if that was not true. And I can’t forgive you for being Berta’s lover. (puts the necklace back) You married me for vengeance… I divorced you so the resentment will not finish what I feel for you… You cashed on me what happened to Rafa but I won’t do the same with you. Goodbye forever. Goodbye forever, my love.
As soon as she makes it out the window (with no clothes, what a wasted trip!) Jero wakes and jumps out of bed.. his whole room is full of her aroma/perfume… where are you Nata? You are here with me (holding his chest)… He gets back in bed, hugging the pillows on the other side.
At the vineyards still, Carlos is insisting Jero must find out the truth. But don’t want to argue so Carlos will head to the graphologist... to follow through on the Berta handwriting vs the letter to Rafa. Jero keeps swearing that he ‘felt’ her, that it was not just a dream! Here comes sneaky Marina…
At cruz de amor, Nata is too bored. She is talented, good taste, sensible… he needs her help to finish a new project. She is happy to get busy on something. She won’t be here too long so use me… Augie wants her to stay forever. She says nothing is forever, not the good or the bad.
At La Bonita, Marina gets her books… Jero is nice to her, invites her to walk with him to the vineyards.
Hono receives an unwelcome visit… the witch is back!! Hono yells at her, wants her to be arrested, but she cleaned her footprints very well, there is no evidence against her. She is not afraid of getting arrested. Came to make a deal with you. The only deal he will hear is if she will turn herself in. She won’t but if he gives her what she wants, the MR troubles will end instantly. She wants HIM. She wants him back in her life.
Jero tells Marina that he got the divorce papers.
Alfonsina is getting molested by the male workers, they heard what happened to her with Alvaro so they think she can do same to them… Jero and Marina arrive and Jero bashes threats to the workers that he will fire anyone who molests Alfonsina again! They all appologize to Alfonsina…
Alfo telsl Marina that she signed her sentence with what happened. Jero says just tell me if anyone molests you again .just tell me. Alfonsina is very thankful. Marina looks at Jero with admiration.
At MR manor, Fina is ordering Berta to go to the office and create a whole Oscar worthy drama to Gonzo but don’t leave there before you get promised a ‘pension’ for life.
Marina gets to her office again, talks to herself that Jero is getting under her skin, especially now that she knows he is free. Daydreaming, she drops some folders and finds behind the file cabinet the ‘sperm analysis’ tests on Alvaro. She opens the folder and ‘surprise!’ he is sterile!!
Previews:
Soto happily brings Fina her divorce sentence.
Berta throws a fit when she finds Matt and Adri together kissing.
Seems Jero finds out Nata is at Cruz de Amor and goes there to confront her… So now you are the lover in turn of Dunant… You know very well how to hurt me… WHY PRECISELY WITH HIM??
Augie keeps coaching Nata that she is safe there, noone will find her… he tells her to go to the bedroom, have another surprise for you… she is not a happy abductee.
Connie and Gina agree that they can talk about Honorio. Gina offers to listen whenever. Both agree on Jero loving Nata for real. They are together on the Jero cheering crew train.
Gina sees Fina driving by and tries to follow her in her own car, with her security guys tailgating them. But Fina escapes…
Gonzo tells Matias the office feels very lonely without Nata, Hono, Adri or even Daniel. Matias will try to go see Hono tomorrow. Matias tells his dad about his money ban on Berta, asks for his support and not to intervene… Gonzo is sorry he suggested Matias give Berta a year time married in the first place. Gonzo will respect Matt’s decision. HE reminds Matt he was never for that marriage. Matt says he is sorry he did not listen to him, but whats done is done.
Mati likes Kari’s wedding dress, and asks to borrow it but Kari says no, don’t want to share the bad luck. Kari offers to make her dress instead, can’t afford the fabric but will do the work as her wedding present.
Jero finds Alfonsina in the vineyards, she asks about Nata… But Carlos changes the subject to the vineyards. They want to be prevented in case the leaves discoloring is any of the bad plagues. Jero would not like to loose the work his brother did.
Augie prepares drinks for Nata, but she is not in mood to drink mimosas or to celebrate anything. He won’t listen, need to celebrate at all times. She says trying to make believe nothing is happening but can’t… family is going through a very hard time. She walks away for a sec, Augie sighs in frustration… but tells himself that Nata is so different to all other women, but she will end up giving in to him.
Lazaro goes to see Alvaro in jail, says Kari has the right to rebuild her life away from a convict, asks Alvaro to begin the divorce proceedings. Alvaro laughs at him… Lazaro says all he wants is for her to be happy, offers him a deal, if he will let Kari be free, Lazaro will walk away from her forever.
Fina arrives home very anxious, Berta chose the wrong time to nag at her about Matt’s threats… Fina yells at her, not in the mood for her dramas. If she has trouble with Matt, fix them yourself!
Gina arrives at the center, tells Ines and Cata she saw Pepa but could not reach her. Cata asks her not to risk her own life. Gina wants to find Pepa and her daughter! When are they going to get to her??
Gonzo visits Hono in jail… Gonzo says you can count on me. The nightmare will be over soon. Don’t loose the spirits. She is the one that should be behind bars. Hono says he is trying, but things are hard in here. Gonzo says rest on us. Hono asks Gonzo to make sure Connie or Adri don’t come to visit him here. Gonzo says he knows his sister, she might not listen in situations like this. Hono says you are the brother I never had. That is how I see you, as if we had the same blood.
Julieta (sister of the girl that ran Adri over) visits Matt at the office and offers her support in any way.
Mati, Carlos and Jero are eating together. She is frustrated by Kari’s reluctance to split from Alvaro. Then she grabs and kisses Carlos…
At Cruz de Amor, Nata appologizes for being rude with him earlier. She is done for the day.
Gonzo has dinner with Gina, tells her the security guys did not know who she was following, and that she exposed herself too much. She says yes I know, but I did it by instinct. So they would face each other. Gonzo says Pepa uses her head very well, she is very astute while coward. Gina is more convinced than ever that Pepa knows where her daughter is.
At Connie’s boarding house Chema, Adri, Matt and her are having dinner. Chema brought her an ipod. Connie doesn’t know much about that and when the young ones gather around the ipod repertoire, Connie feels sad and heads to her bedroom alone.
At Ezeq’s Alfonsina tells him that Poncho saw Nata at Cruz de Amor. Ezeq won’t say anything, Just says dryly that it is his bosse’s business, not his. Alfonsina will try to find out what he is hiding.

La Pola - August 24, 2011 - The Big Battle, Discussion Page
I didn’t expect this episode to end with the death of Leandro. I didn’t expect Leandro to die nor did I expect that Alejo would see his brother cut down in front of his eyes. Nariño’s charisma and heroic strategy carried the day. Sámano left his troops to fend for themselves. He once again fled, saving himself for some other greater glory. Pola could not suppress her instinct to save Alejo. She, and a band of women, dressed themselves as soldiers and head into the fray, undeterred by the surrounding bloody detritus of the day’s battle.

Cuando Me Enamoro #90 Tuesday 8/23/11 Renata Who? Yea no idea who your looking for!
Well after a much needed vacation, up to Northern California in the beautiful Redwoods. I am refreshed and completely out of touch with our Novela so bear with me. I can see from the other re-cap things have gotten crazy crazy!! They always get crazy before the end, is there light at the end of this tunnel?
Jero is pushing Gonzo for more information, Gonzo tells him that he needs to stay away and not cause any problems, Matias put his two cents in and Jero agrees and leaves. Matias asks Gonzo to make sure that he stays away, but Gonzo is not going to get involved with Matias and Jero is only concern is Renata and he tells Matias he is not going to help him with anything else. Connie comes in crying about Hon, she wants him out of jail. Gonzo tells her to calm down they are doing what they can and that it will be alright.
Augie is giving Zeke the run down about Renata being at the hacienda, he tells him that nobody knows she is here, Zeke smiles and say that little by little he is making her his woman to which Auggie smirks and then immediately yells, not to ask any questions. Just do what he is told.
Alphonsina is getting the farmers to help her identify the plague and us trying to find out what happened.
Jero is trying to figure this out talking to Gina, he says he respects Gonzo and Regina, but he doesn’t understand. Gina tells him that Gonzo has told her nothing. Jero is trying to put everything together. He is aware of the problems the company is having and they are wondering what that has to do with Renata it would make more sense if it had to do with Gonzo or Matias since they are more involved in the business. Gina asks if this has more to do with the problems at the company or the problems with him, she tells him that it is another possibility. Jero refuses to believe that he is sure it is to protect her from the company’s problems.
At the hacienda Auggie is talking to Roberta he tells her that he had an emergency, she believes him and asks when he is coming back and he says he has no idea, then she asks if she should come out there and he says that is a bad idea, no on can know they have a relationship. He tells her that they will talk soon and hangs up, then he laments about how he wants Renata and how he so happy to have her in his hacienda with him.
Roberta’s crazy friend comes in yelling about how Auggie is with another woman, Roberta asks if she knows anything about her and she says no, but she knows there is someone. Roberta laughs knowingly and says nothing.
Adri and Chema are hanging out when Connie comes in and Chema leaves, Matias stays with Adri and Connie walks Chema out and says thank you.
Renata and Jero are split screen wanting each other.
Adri is talking to Connie and Matias about her dad. Connie excuses herself to go to bed and Adri and Mat talk about Roberta and how she has to be responsible for the pics of Hon and Blanca and Connie and Chema, and he tells her that his marriage may not be so easy to get out of and that he needs to stay married for 10 years. Adri freaks and says that it’s crazy Roberta is very bad and he can’t stay married.
Hon is being taken from his cell to a hearing, Connie, Gonzo, and Matias are all there to tell him that everything will be okay and that he is not alone. Hon asks Gonzo and Matias to get Blanca and that she is one behind all of this.
Blanca is having lunch with her accomplice and he tells her that Hon will go away for a long time. She is pleased and says thank you.
Jero and Carlos are talking and Carlos tells Jero about the plaque outbreak and that it is a very bad. Jero says he does not want to leave Mexico right now. Carlos tries to tell him that he is the owner and that he needs to come and fix this. Jero tells him that he can handle everything, Carlos tells him that he will be on his honeymoon, Jero agrees to come back after he takes care of some stuff in Mexico.
Renata comes out in Auggies clothes since she has none of her own. He swears she looks great and she argues she looks silly. He tells he that he will take her shopping and get her everything she needs. She says no that it is not necessary, he insists then she tells him that she really just wants to go home. He tells her that she could spend a very long time in jail and that that is why her dad sent her there, she understands, but is very impatient he tells her to have patience.
Matias is confirming his marriage is legal and that the contract is binding he says yes and, then Matias hears Adri in his head telling him that Roberta is a bad person. He leaves to go confront Roberta.
Alphonsina is talking to the Dr, about what a creep Dr, Nesme is. The Dr tells her that it doesn’t have to be for bad they can get the test legally.
Connie and Adri are talking Adri asks how long her dad will be in jail and Connie says she has no idea. Adri asks her if since now she knows Blanca set a trap will her and Hon get back together, and what she feels for Chema. Connie says that she likes Chema and feels good with him. And that things with Hon are complicated. Adri thinks that since she is not in love with Chema then she and her dad still have a chance.
Renata is wandering around the hacienda and comes across little Zeke, she asks why he is not in school and he says he has no classes and she doesn’t believe him. Then he hears Auggie calling him and panics and says he does not like him, he is mean. Renata is not sure why he says that, but he hears him again and runs off. Auggie asks who she was talking to, he she says the grapes and laughs.
Jero answers the door (poor guy) and receives divorce papers!!!
Auggie is getting a list of what Renata needs, she gives him a short list, he asks if there is anything else and tells her that he will only be gone for a short time, but while she is there with him she is the head of the house and she argues that she is only a visitor, she does not like being called the boss.
Jero is blown away and does not understand, and now is convinced that she left because she did not want him, not because of the problems with the business.
Fina and Roberta are talking over breakfast, Roberta thinks that FIna is to calm considering all the problems that they have going on. Fina says that things will work out. Roberta asks if she has a plan. Fina only reads her the front page about Hon being in jail, Roberta tells her not to talk about that. To much is happening to her family. Fina says it should have been Gonzo and that way he couldn’t ruin their fortune and be with another woman or go through with the divorce. Roberta tells her to shut it, he is the one helping the family.
Gonzo is yelling at his lawyer about helping Hon, he wants all the lawyers working day and night to fix this. The lawyer asks about Renata and he tells him that he has it under control and that Renata will never go to jail.
Roberta welcomes Matias home they small talk about Hon and then Matias drops the hammer and tells her that the only way he they can get out of the pre-nup is if they both agree the marriage is over and ask for a divorce together. He tells her that he wants them to go together the next morning and sign the papers to get a divorce, Roberta tells him that that is not what she wants. Matias tells her that he doesn’t love her and does not want to be married to her.
FIna is having lunch with Tony (nothing good can come of this) they are discussing her girls and Fina has a flash back to when she realized that her daughter was left out of this will. (I wonder now if Tony is working Fina?) Fina tells Tony she knows what she is doing and Tony tells her that he only wants to find out what happened , since Gina has suffered over the loss of her daughter.
Matias and Roberta argue over the fact she doesn’t want a divorce and that he is stuck with her. He said that he does not love her and she does not love him, Roberta smugly says that maybe over ten years he will learn to love her, he pushes her away and says that will never happen, as he tries to leave Roberta smugly says that his last name and his money are hers. Matias gladly reminds her he has no money and that she would get none of it anyway, she is not having a baby, and she is not entitled to a dime of his money so she will be married to him for ten years,but will get no money. (doing the happy dance for Matias) Roberta looks ill like she might be sick.
Auggie is buying clothes for Renata. ( not clothes you can wear in public)
Zeke brings jr to be with mom, and jr tells her that he saw Renata at Auggies and she is wondering what she is doing there.
Laza is telling Jero he is glad he is back with everything going on, Laza asks if he can go take care of some things in town. Jero tells Carlos about the divorce. Jero admits its finally over. He lost her.
The authorities have arrived for Renata and nobody knows where she is (hahaha) Gonzo tells them that she does not work her anymore and that he does not know where she is. They tell him that if he does not tell them he is an accomplice, Gonzo says he understands but knows nothing and tells them they have no business there and to leave.
Gina is helping Adri with her recovery. She is looking forward to getting better to visit her dad. Gina says she has become the Queen of patience after looking for her daughter. Gina asks about Renata, if there was a particular reason she left. They don’t know of any.
Auggie brings Renata her stuff, she is not thrilled about the stuff , but says she wants to see it.
Jero still wants to find out who killed his brother, he lost Renata and all he has left is his brother. They also need to identify and fix the Plaque. Carlos tells him if they don’t soon they will have serious problems.
Renata shows Auggie what he bought, she thanks him for the clothes. He tells her that the cops showed up looking for her. She is worried now.
Connie and Gina are chatting about Chema and Jero Gina tells Connie that Jero married Renata for revenge, but he really does love her. As she is walking to her car Fina pulls up and looks right at her, Gina recognizes her and Fina looks panic.
Wheeew that was a lot. Tomorrow should be awesome!!!! Enjoy

La Pola - August 23, 2011 - The War Begins, Discussion Page
The rebels led by Nariño continue their march to Popayan. The first shots are fired as they encounter Sámano’s forces standing guard on a bridge that leads to the city. Nariño sees the trap and orders his soldiers to retreat and then he orders the artillery to bombard the hills. Sámano’s forces are routed by this determined band and by his bad judgment in dividing his army.
Sámano orders all munitions in the cuartel in Popayan to be blown up with no warning to civilians in the area. Leandro escorts María Teresa, who suffered a minor wound in the explosion, and Eusebia back to the mansion. Francisco looks for a safe place for himself.
Pola will not be stopped either by Alejo’s pleas or by Nariño’s orders. She will fight.
