Caray, Caray!

Sara walks in on Deb and Juan and contradicts her mother’s jibberish, by saying that she and Juan are going to unite for their son and their family. She heard all of Deb’s words, and she’s back to talk to her brothers. She promises to Juan none of Deb’s words about her are true. Juan believes her. She wants to speak to the others first, but she asks Deb to talk later at the apartment.

Juli accuses Rosa of always pushing her towards Juan. They could have never been happy together. Juan doesn’t love her! Rosa admits she wanted her daughters to be happy no matter what and realizes the one who loves Julieta is Mateo. But Juli can’t even hear his name, she hates him and the child she’s carrying so much! Rosa is shocked by these words, but Juli doesn’t care. Maybe Rosa can finally see the magnitude of her mistake.

Crazy-eyed again after Deb destroyed his parents’ portrait, Simon looks almost catatonic while Paloma tries to keep him off the edge (who needs a baby when you have a Simon, am I right, Paloma?). Think about the present and our future, Paloma says and Simon’s answer is to remind her and the Patio how much he hates Deborah (as if any of us ever had the time to forget about that). He does wonder about what she said about Paloma’s father, but Paloma insists her dad is Salvador. They kiss and Paloma promises to put back the portrait.

We return to Juli’s downfall and once again hear her arrogantly declare to Mateo that the baby is his but no one is ever going to know, everyone will continue believing the child is his nephew/niece. Juli comes into the main room and immediately starts making her denials when Juan demands to know how she could have done this! Juli tries to convince him that the baby really is his and what they all overheard was her lying to Mateo because she’s tired of his harassment. Juan isn’t buying this for a second. Juli looks to Pedro who gives her the nod and she continues to attempt her case. Everyone else looks shocked very uncomfortable. Juan and Juli go back and forth until Rosa predictably tries to intervene and defend her little princess but Prospi cuts her off and instead demands that Juli tell them all the truth once and for all. Whose baby is it? Juli surprisingly acquiesces to daddy’s demand and admits the baby is Mateo’s!!! But she hates him!! (Note to Juli and people everywhere, don’t sleep with people you hate, that’s weird!) In fact, she detests him as much as she hates Juan! Juan says the typical how could you do this? I don’t even know who you are anymore! Pedro thinks Juan should calm down and show Juli some understanding!!! (LMAO) Cause you know, she lost everything overnight and was desperate and all – the way he says this, his tone of voice, it’s hard to know for sure if he’s defending her or mocking her. Juan does the opposite of calming down and starts screaming and Lucas jumps in with additional accusations of how Juli separated Juan from Sara. He tells her that she was just obsessed with beating Sara. Juli tells him to shut up, all he ever does is follow Sara and Juan around like a little puppy desperate for a little affection. Mateo jumps in and tells Juli not to speak to Lucas like that and Juli unleashes on him asking him if he's happy now.

As you all probably know, La Madrastra starts on October 17th. I will recap the Gran Estreño, whether that will be 1-hour or 2-hour (if it's a 1-hour Estreño, I will also recap #2). 

Is anyone interested in recapping with me? 2 people would be ideal, 1 person is doable.

Depending on how many people will join the team, I am willing to recap either one or two episodes per week and write small summaries for another one. (For more details on that, see the first comment.)

Here's the plot (I'll write it in the Antes del Gran Estreño post I'm going to make anyway) in case you're unsure whether you'll watch it or not:

During a trip to Spain, Marcia Cisneros (Aracely Arámbula) is accused of murdering Nicolás Escalante (Gabriel Soto) and is sentenced to 35 years in prison. Esteban Lombardo (Andrés Palacios), her husband, considers her not only a murderer but an adulteress who killed her lover to cover up her betrayal, so he abandons her and files for divorce. Marcia is certain that the murderer is among her ex-husband's friends, so she studies law while in prison to reopen her case.

Twenty years later, a lawyer manages to get her early release and she returns to Mexico to clear her name and be reunited with her children, but they believe her dead. Lucrecia (Marisol del Olmo), Esteban's older sister, placed a portrait of an unknown woman in their home and the children grew up adoring the woman in the portrait. Marcia summons all the suspects, who are shocked to see her, but to win over her children and investigate each of the suspects, she changes her name and introduces herself as Marisa Jones. Marcia forces Esteban to break up with his fiancée in order to marry her, thus becoming the stepmother to her own children.

(Source: Wikipedia)

If you're interested, please write a comment here. Specify the day(s) you would like to recap too, so we can organise the recapping schedule (see the first comment for more details).

Thank you in advance and I hope to see you on the La Madrastra patio.

 It's that time again! Karmageddon arrives at Santa Catalina to deal itself to the evil ones we have discussed and analyzed to a degree that Freud and Jung would applaud. The cliffhangers have been going in every direction and the evil ones have been so active that last weekend would have been almost too early for this discussion. The usual questions apply:

• What do you think the writers will do to them?
• What do you think they deserve?

If I have forgotten anything in the following, please advise so I can revise. This should include all data through episode 69.

This is in no way complete. Please feel free to add anything I omitted. 

In  keeping with the equestrian influences at the hacienda:  WHOA!!! is all I can say after this episode .🐴

The Important Things: 

1. Simón AKA BigBabySimón  confesses to having killed his father.  (but his story doesn't quite match what Agustín saw and was "encouraged" to forget    Hmmm . . .) 

Juan goes BSC hearing BBS (Big Baby Simón) confess and throws him on the floor. Paloma goes to comfort BBS as Lucas and Paloma insist that BBS is upset and confused. All Juan wants to know is how did he kill their father. An hysterical BBS explains that he and Severiano were arguing in the SUV and he was threatening his father with telling  everyone that he was not the perfect husband but had his share of  lovers. Then something happened. He didn't know what and the SUV was thrown to the other side of the road landing on its roof. The driver was dead. He remembers his father complaining that he was stuck.

1.  Pablo violently rouses Deb from her sleep to warn her that they will all becoming and soon will know that Sara is not Severiano's daughter but Dante's. He tells her that she did a real good job in bringing Sara to their hacienda to fight for an inheritance that wasn't hers. He asks if she is going to deny that, too. When she says nothing he asks if the poison also affected her speech. As he goes to leave calling for Juan to tell him the truth, she screams at him to shut the door. Pedro returns to her bedside saying now they are understanding each other. Pedro informs her that her lover confessed the whole thing as she was asleep in the hospital. Now it is his turn to do some business with her. She knows that they both have a lot of vulnerabilities but reminds him not  to underestimate her. Also, since Sara renounced the inheritance, she has no money. He laughs and asks if she thinks that money is something that he needs. He emphasizes that he isn't her. The fact is that Sara has something in her womb that is much more valuable than the inheritance and it should never be born.  Deb looks really shaken as never before.Read more »

Sara thinks Pedro is making up the affair between Deb and Dante, and when he says Aurora told him, she is even more certain it’s not true. Pedro thinks she should investigate the matter, because it could hurt them all, but Sara insists they are only friends. Pedro reminds her Deb’s long string of lovers, Dante could be one of them. But defending Deb is where she’s an expert.

Mateo reads the DNA test several times and then says that Juli’s kid is not Juan’s, it must mean it’s his. He wants to go tell Juan immediately, but Julieta Baby warns him that this could hurt Juan, Juli has to be the one to admit the truth.

Juan refuses to believe Pedro is an assassin, but Corni insists, even if he doesn’t have the proof. Juan think his resentment is making him say these things, Corni realizes Juan is defending his brother like he has always done, but Pedro is a monster! Bryan tells Corni to calm down, then Modesto says he was aware of it, too, but had to keep quiet to avoid even more conflict.

Brandon and Dulce talk about Sal being a cool guy. Dulce misses her family, but she also misses Brandon when she’s away.

Sara asks Adela to take her stuff and her mom’s stuff to the truck. Tears in her eyes, she remembers the day she first got to Santa Catalina, her first ride with Juan and how she fell from her horse. Pedro comes running down the stairs to beg her not to leave. Sara repeats that she cares deeply about him, but not the way he’d like. Lucas, that meddler, once again shows up to interrupt Pedro’s special moment with Sara, by asking her where she plans to go. Sara explains she’s going back to her apartment in Mexico. The hospital calls to let her know Deb is awake. Sara is very happy, hugs Lucas, even Pedro pretends to be happy to get his hug. Sara runs to the hospital, Lucas goes to tell Juan and Pedro sends a message to someone telling them to “send it”.

Send what, you might ask. The message was for Julieta, who is at the stables, with the untamed horse. She puts some green thingy under its saddle.

Sara enters the office where Juan is waiting and declares that he was right, they need to talk. Juan tries to open the subject by telling Sara how important she is to him but Sara interrupts. She needs to tell him something important! She was going to wait til morning and tell him when all her brothers were present but there’s no point in waiting, she needs to tell him that she’s pregnant!!! (Knock me over with a feather I thought for sure she’d beat around the bush for a few more episodes before blurting that one out!) 

Cori is drinking again, or more likely just still drinking, when Sal returns to the bar and gives the good news that Matti isn’t exactly a criminal mastermind and Paloma was able to prove Brandon innocent easily enough. Corni lets Sal know he replaced the bottle of wine that Sal let him borrow, he says something about giving it to a friend for his big date (I think) but he got a new bottle and put the bottle back where it belongs. Sal looks confused. Also Corni continues, Prospi came by to see Sal but he’s gone now. Sal gets up and walks to the bar, we hear him thinking that it could have been Corni who poisoned Deb as he looks down at the no longer missing bottle of wine remembering Brandon running in to tell them about Deb’s downfall (I know nothing about wine so I couldn’t tell if it was an expensive brand or not, also I don’t remember what brand Deb had or what Prospi bought…..maybe if the patio is more eagle-eyed someone can clue us in on whether or not that view of the wine label is significant) Corni looks bored, unconcerned, and not at all guilty.

The was such an entertaining episode with all of the dysfunction of the DelMonte family and others in full bloom. 

THE MAIN EVENT: 

Pedro has invited Aurora to come to the hacienda to close their deal. He tells her she doesn't have to worry about Juan because he will come out and let her in. Dante will be there along with a notary. Pedro likes things done "legally." Later, Pedro tells Dante to meet them "he knows where" at the hacienda. Pedro plans to find out which of Aurora's instincts is stronger: "to eat or to live" which is the same line she used on him when offering him some bread topped with rat poison. That night, Aurora enters the barn AKA torture central with Aurora wondering why Pedro didn't want to do business in the house. Dante advises her  not to ask so many questions but thinks that  Pedro didn't want to risk Juan seeing her. The notary is coming with Pedro (sure). She is happy that things  are turning out better than expected. Dane chuckles and agrees. Pedro arrives but Aurora notices that there is no notary with him. There are no papers for her to sign. She tells them she knew this was a trap and pulls a gun on them.  Pedro assures her that the notary and the papers are coming. She calls him a liar and a coward just like his father who  abandoned her with him and Juan in her arms. Pedro tells her to shut up. Her finger is on the trigger when somebody appears at the top of the staircase behind Pedro but is seen by no one.  Pedro has gotten close to Aurora who is accusing him of always being a traitor especially with Juan. He took Juan's bread to feed himself when there was no food. Pedro tells her to shoot him and kill him. He knows she wanted to since he was a child. Dante tries to calm  her down and have her lower the gun by showing her papers in his briefcase. Everything is in order. She makes the mistake of grabbing some papers and glancing at them.  Pedro is on her in a second. Dante give him a cloth with chloroform and she soon loses consciousness. Pedro tells Dante to leave. Dante asks  him what is he going to do. Pedro tells him to leave a second time and not to ask stupid questions. We see that it was Modesto standing on the stairs as he quickly leaves. Pedro drags the unconscious Aurora into his special room.

This recapper says: I still want to be the girl on the dancing horse!  

Anyway, here is the rest of the story . . . 

1. Juli is literally crying on  Juan's shoulder who blames it all on Mateo who is continuing to bother her. Juan will talk to him but seems surprised because Mateo has shown that he has changed. Juli becomes indignant and says that he has to believe her because she is his wife. Juan knows that but Mateo is his brother, too. Juli thinks that Mateo wants to make their lives difficult. She starts begging him for a honeymoon so they can have some time to themselves and away from his family. Juan says "no can do" because the company is going through some very difficult times so, more than ever,  now is not the time that he should be leaving. She thinks it would be a great chance to let Pedro run the company. Juan says he can't do it. She argues that he will never know unless he gives Pedro a chance. Juan wonders about her defending Pedro. She insists that everything she does is for the sake of their child. Juan makes it clear that the only way that Pedro will get to be the president is if he is ousted by the board for having done a bad job. Juli doesn't miss a beat and  begins to complain about how nervous and upset she is about everything that has happened and how she found Deb. Juan looks like he has had it and turns to leave. Juli asks him not to go and whines for him to come back and to sleep in his bedroom.  She want them to be closer so that their baby can feel him there. . . please.
