Refugio Para el Amor #48-49 Thu 6/28/12 Rosa Has a Hissy, Everbody Loves Luci Except Rosa and Paz Gets Back What She Lost
Part I
Hospital Mexico City:
Rosa is in the hospital, and Conny is telling her to be calm. Mati comes in and Conny tells her she is now in charge of Rosa (Poor Mati), Conny has to go to work. Conny tells Rosa to have serenity now! No, but to stay calm. Mati tells Conny ( who looks like she'd like to escape already) that she'll call her if anything else happens. As soon as Conny leaves, Rosa is giving Poor Mati the stinkeye and asks her did you tell anyone about our little secret? Mati tells her Pato knows all about the secret of the names of Luci's parents. Mati tells Rosa to stop being mortified. Mati just couldn't hold it in anymore. Rosa is very pithed. She wants to know if Rod and Luci are married? Mati of course doesn't tell her, so Rosa from the corner of her crazed mind says, Luci and Rod can't get married cause they are, wait for it, BROTHER AND SISTER!!! Oh, noes. She tells Mati that Luci is the daughter of Aurora and Max. Mati is shocked. (Poor Mati, I hope she doesn't have an infarto over this). About this point, Max comes in and wants to know what the hey she is talking about. Rosa gives him the death ray. Well, Rosa starts right in, she says you had an affair with Aurora and the result was the baby. He is so mad, he tells Rosa her obsession has made her loca, he never, eva had an affair with Aurora, never touched the woman, had a lot of respect for her and let her rest in peace. Of course, Rosa says Max is a liar, damn him, she knows for a fact it is true, and nothing he says will change her mind. He tells her she is the Amor di mi Vida (Love of my life) and Mi Mujuer (My woman) and she just doesn't beleive him. He grabs her by the arms, but she is hysterical, screaming and ranting and raving with these accusations, while Mati is in the corner, crying and very upset. She also says that Claudio ought to know about Max and Aurora. Mati has finally had enough and leaves. Mati goes outside the door and prays to Dios, ayudi mi nina. (God, help my little one) and please help her, this is a terrible lie. Rosa wants an admission from him, but he says this is a huge lie and all in her mind, with her obsessive jealousy. He also tells her to callate! (Shut up). He keeps insisting this is all a lie, she is still screaming, when the nurse comes in to take her for testing. The nurse is giving Max the stinkeye. She takes Rosa off and Max and Mati are alone. He tells Mati, are you ready for this??? He is worried about Rosa's mental health, ya think??? He thinks this is all Claudio's fault, cause all this started when Claudio got out of la carcel. He asks a good question of Mati, could Luci be this baby???? Mati (Come on now Mati, you could have told him) says, wait for it, Only Dios knows for sure. Oh, please. Now Max wants to know if Rosa was this jealous when she was little. Mati says yes, she was. Of course, this is also Claudio's fault. Speak of the devil, guess who comes in, anyone??? It's Claudio come to see Rosa.
Claudio was just wanting to see how Rosa was doing, and brought her a bouquet of beautiful pink roses. Mati takes those to put them in water. Max gives congrats to Claudio for opening his own office, after getting out of la carcel. Claudio asks Max how Rosa is doing, and Max says better, liar, liar, pants on fire, jus' sayin', and Max invites Claudio to go for coffee, since Rosa isn't there. They go, and Mati is worried that Rosa will have an infarto over this obsession. Claudio and Max are now having coffee and Max wants to know why he is persuing this case against Max. Claudio simply says I'm innocent that's why. He says Max has his family to help him thru everything, and Claudo has nothing, wife is dead, child is dead, and Rosa was the last one to talk to Aurora before she died, and he was all alone in that carcel. Max thinks Claudio is guilty and Claudio tells him,he wants his dignity and prestige back. Claudio says thanks to Max, he lost everything. Rod comes in. Claudio introduces himself to Rod. Claudio is getting ready to leave, and wants to pay the bill, but Max tells him he'll take care of it. Claudio goes. Rod is shocked his Papa Max was having coffee with Claudio, his former best friend, and now convicted fraudster. Rod asks if this is a coincidence? Max says everything is under control,and that Claudio just wanted to see Rosa.
Rod and Max have made it back to Rosa's room. Mati comes out of the bathroom, and is happy to see Rod and asks how Luci is? Rod says she is fine. Max wants to know from Rod's own lips, if he truly married Luci, and Rod tells him, no it was all a joke on you, not really, he tells him yes, Luci is my wife.
Torreslanda, Mexico City:
Max is in his office calling Vicky. He chews her out and wants to know why she wasn't answering her phone? She says her phone died (good one Vicky) and didn't realize it. Then she has a little slip of the tongue and asks how Rosa is. He wants to know who told her. She doesn't answer. He presses. She says "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", not really she heard it at the salon. He thinks they are a bunch of chisme artists. He wants a meet later, she tries to fudge and he tells her she better not stand him up, and then he hangs up on her. (Note to Vicky: Ok, now is the time to dump this idiot, he has NO respect for you, jus' sayin').
Around Mexico City:
Rod and Luci are back in the D.F. They are at Rod's apartment, Rod wants Luci to come in, but she won't. She says they need to not have anymore, en flagrante, until they are married in the church, besides they PROMISED, but Rod agrees. He says if she moves in, he can keep his passion in check, (Note to Hot Bod Rod, how long you think that will last, jus' sayin'), but Luci says nah, can't. He goes in to get a change of clothes and she waits by the open door. Rod comes out and asks Luci where to? She says Violetta's. She is going to stay there until the church wedding. ( I see a pie cart rolling quickly toward them). Rod wants to know if she's sure. She says she is. Rod and Luci get to Vio's and Rod is dropping Luci off there while he is at work, and he gives Luci lots of kisses, and then tells the girls he will be by later to pick up Luci so they can meet with Padre Honesto. He goes and now the girls want all the JUICY DETAILS, and they mean ALL, about the honeymoon. But Luci avoids that by telling them she needs to see Dona Estella to use her phone. Luci goes to see Dona Estella and Marnita is there too. Hugs and congrats and Marinita says she missed Luci. Luci uses the phone and Don Serapio answers and says glad she called cause her Mama Paz is that worried about her. He'll go down and tell her she called, so Paz can call her back. She hangs up, and the little chisme lady-in- waiting Mari wants to know where you been Luci, you got some 'spailin' to do. Luci says she likes married life, I'll bet, she is afraid of Rosa, so she is staying with Vio until the church wedding. Estella is rolling her eyes. Estella tells Luci that Rosa is in the hospital. Luci is wondering why her Roddy didn't tell her. Estella doesn't know what is wrong with Rosa. Luci has gone back to Serena and Vio's and Luci wants to know why Serena is hanging with Vio this time of day. Serena tells Luci she now has a job at Inferno. Luci doesn't like this at all but Vio tells her she is keeping a good eye on Serena after the Luci incident. Luci doesn't want her to give up nursing, but Serena assures her she wouldn't do that, and that this is temporary. Marcial and then Lorenzo come by and Lorenzo is very happy to see Luci. Luci shows Lorenzo her ring and he is very impressed. Luci has gone back to Dona Estella's and her Mama Paz is on the phone. Luci takes the phone and Paz starts asking Luci, where you been, what you been doing? Luci tells her Rod and she went on a little trip and Paz wants to know like yesterday, if Luci has done, the you know what, and poor Luci, who is very truthfull, tells her not to ask. Paz is now upset, she says they both PROMISED, to wait for the Padre to bless this union before they, you know.
Julie and Gala are at Gala's apt and they want to set a spa day, I think. Gala goes off to work. Gala is at work, and had a meeting, and asks her assistant to stay behind, I think her name is Ferny. She tells Ferny she wants to do an article about the Fonda at Inferno, and wants her to be discreet.
Rod has gone to the Torreslanda home and Pato is in the garden and sees him. He is so happy to see Rod. Rod is surprised he is outside, but is very happy to see him. Says he missed Pato. Pato says Rod was enjoying his honeymoon, si. Of course Rod says yes. Pato tells Rod that Rosa is in an emotional state, and is in the hospital for testing. Pato changes the subject to the foundation that Rod is going to run, and Rod doesn't get the hint. You see at this point Pato has seen Frigid the Rigid (using the Frigid method of listening by trying to hide behind a pillar). Rod tells Pato that Luci has him body and soul and Frigid hears everything and just can't beleive it. Now Pato knows she knows all.
Julie is at lunch with her friend Carolla. Carolla asks Julie if Gala is still working on getting that Hot Bod Rod back. Julie tells Carolla that Gala is intent on exposing that servant to the world to show them who she really is. Carolla says she better think long and hard about that, that servant could sue. Julie wants to go on a little vacay, and invites Carolla to go with her. Carolla wants to know, where, when, why? Julie tells her it's a little pleasure investigation adventure. Carolla is like Que??? (What??). Julie says to come with her somewhere and she'll explain.
Hanna and Boris are talking about Rosa. Hanna tells him she thinks it has to do with her heart. Hanna wants to know if he has talked to Lula, he says no, and just at that point Lula walks by. Hanna tries to talk to her, but she isn't saying anything. Lula doesn't want to talk to Hanna. Hanna says you've been my bff since we were kids, and Lula says yeah, till Boris came along. Hanna says she never wanted to hurt Lula. Boris says if Lula can't handle it, so sorry. Hanna tells her bye and Lula sits on the bench and cries. Hanna doesn't get far when she runs into Melissa. Melissa says she is on the way to see Tia Rosa at the hospital and Hanna wants to come with. They go and afterwards Boris sits right down and lights into Lula. He tells Lula that she and Hanna have been bffs foreva and now she is whining and carrying on, and he feels sorry for her. (Note to Boris: Wait till you find out Hanna is so NOT into you, you'll see), he tells her someway to treat her bff, Lula cries.
Aldo is in his cubbyhole, fiddling with the computer to see if he can get that shamrock screen to reappear on his computer. He talks to Vicky by cell and she is mad at him cause she got in trouble with Max cause of the Rosa business. He finally gets his laptop to show that screen and he asks Vicky to hold on.
Melissa calls Claudio, who is at his office,and wants a meet. He says sure any time.
Het Het:
Paz and Magda are having a little convo and Paz is worried about Luci cause she hasn't called and she wants to go to Don Serapio's to call Hot Bod Rod's cell phone (Note to Paz: They are a little busy, breaking that promise to you, jus' sayin'). There is a knock on the door, and there is Lic Barrerra, and he's got something for Paz. He says its paperwork demanding Don Aquiles produce the deeds to the land and house, and if he doesn't produce said documents he goes to la carcel (the jail). Magda and Paz are shocked. They tell Lic Barrerra that Don A is a huge cheese in this area, has the police in his pocket and they are afraid. Lic Barrera is prepared for that, and says he can go thru the justice system in the D.F. doing an end round around the local justice system. Both women like this idea better, and Lic Barrera shows them the paperwork. Paz is really wanting the deeds for Luci and Lorenzo, because Don A is also cheating them. Lic Barrerra tells her she needs justice and to grab these back from Don A. She now has the power and he doesn't, cause what he did was wrong. Magda and Paz are cleaning, and Paz is still worried she hasn't heard from Luci. Magda reminds her that Luci is now a married lady, but the only thing Paz is really worried about is, can you guess??? That's right, they did the deed without benefit of the Padre (Note to Paz: Your motherly instincts are spot on). Magda says so what if they DID IT, times have changed, but not in Paz's book. Magda basically tells Paz, Rod and Luci are in love and to let it go already. Ariche comes by and tells the ladies that Dona Lucita is at Don A's. Ariche has stayed for lunch, when Don Serapio comes and tells Paz that Luci called. Paz is so happy. Paz wants to go to Don Serapio's and Ariche is coming with, but before they go, Magda gives Ariche a new red banda. He is so happy. After they go Magda says she hopes Vio meets someone like Rod.
Copio is on a mission to deliver a note to Dona Lucita (La Gorda). The note looks like a child wrote it, lol. It is an invitation to dine at Don A's. Well, Dona Lucita is over the moon, and kisses Copio on the cheek and says of course she'll be there with bells on.
Meanwhile, Don A is meeting with the Commandante, hoping this will end up at the local level. He is worried about going to la carcel or being sued. The Commandante thinks this will be local, piece of cake. Don A says they have a good case, cause he threw them out on the street.
Dona Lucita is on her way to Don A's when Ariche passes her on the street. He sees her go in to Don A's house. Dona Lucita has arrived at Don A's and he answers her knock and lets her in. She is over the moon. He takes her hand and tells her the house is happy she's there (Oh come on now, we all know this is a bribe). She thinks Don A is enthralled with her. Copio, who is dressed like a maid, bandana round the head, apron over his clothes, is serving the food, it looks like he made it too. Who knew Copio could cook??? Anyway, there are huge platters of food, and Dona Lucita isn't shy about eating, I have to say. She has loaded two plates and is getting sauce on everything, and salsa too. Don A looks like he wants to hurl, he isn't eating, he is watching Dona Luchita eat. She thanks him for inviting her and that his home is like a palace. Don A says he would like to share this palace with a woman of his dreams, Dona Luchita thinks that is her (lol). Dona Luchita has finished everything on her plates lol. Don A still looks like he wants to hurl. Copio now brings her what looks like Picot (Mexican Alkaseltzer) and she tells Don A she sure enjoyed this lovely meal. Don A tells her he is glad she liked it. He tells Copio to bring on the dessert. He brings a cheesecake, that looks yummy and something else. He gives her the whole cheesecake, lol. Now Dona Luchita wants to know what type of woman he is looking for? He is thought bubbling Luci while he tells her sweet, nice, small and someone that can keep things to herself. Well, she tells him she fits that bill. She puts her arms around him and Don A tells her, he is mad at her cause she told Lic Barrerra that she "owns" Paz' house. He doesn't want Lic Barrerra to find this out, or about the money she gave him. She promises she won't say anything, will say it was a misunderstanding and tells him he is very handsome and grabs his lapels and purses her lips, like she is waiting for him to lay the big one on her, lol. He starts coughing,, like he is about to hurl, but he's faking to avoid the kiss. She wants to give him some water, lol.
Part II
Mexico City:
Luci tells her Mama that in fact they did the deed. Paz is upset cause she feels that Rod won't respect Luci now, say what???? Paz is disappointed in both of them.. but Luci tells her that she is staying with Vio until the church wedding. She tells her moms to chill out, everyone knows they got married but Rosa. She tells Paz that Rod is very good to her. Paz passes on the news about Lic Barrerra and getting the house and lands back and about Don A and the possible ending up in la carcel. Luci, bless her heart, says well yeah Don A was bad but la carcel. Ariche is there and wants to talk to Luci, so Paz gives the blessing to Luci and for Lorenzo too, and passes the phone. Ariche says he misses her, wants Rod, but Luci says Rod is at work, and now he wants Marinita. She passes the phone and the little ones say they miss each other.
Gala is still having that meeting with Ferny, and she tells her she wants to do an expose on Inferno and wants lots of CLEAR Pics of the women that work there, ruh roh. Ferny goes to start on that, and Julie and Carolla have come to see Gala. Julie informs Gala about her plan to go with Carolla to Het Het to see this old rich dude (Don A) to see if they had a little somethin' somethin' going on before she came to the D.F. Julie wants some money to recoup her N.Y. apartment, but Gala just wants to investigate Luci from before she got to the D. F., that is her new focus. Of course, while this is being discussed, guess who calls, anyone???, its Frigid the Rigid, bout to runtelldat to Gala. Frigid tells her, guess what, ya wanna know, do ya, do ya, its important. Gala is like ok you witch what you want now???? Frigid tells her she used the Frigid method, jus' sayin' and overheard the convo with Rod and Pato and tells Gala, wait for it, Luci and Rod are planning a wedding.
Aldo is in his cubbyhole calling Pato for help with that shamrock screen, when Jeronimo comes in. He wants to know why Aldo is always being mysterious. Aldo says not so, just working. He has closed his laptop. Jeronimo wants to know why he kept Vicky out so late, and Aldo tells him he and Vicky are just good friends, like to hang out, no worries. Jeronimo is so not down with that.
Frigid is at the Torrelanda house and the phone is for Pato, and Gennaro gives Pato his earpiece. Max is just calling Pato to tell him that his Mama Rosa is in good hands, and Pato wants to know if she knows about Rod and Luci being married. Max tells him she doesn't know. (Ruh Roh, Frigid heard that convo between Rod and Pato, she is going to get that pie cart rolling jus' sayin).
Rod is at the office, and runs into Oscar, Gabe and Marcos and he tells them he is very happy. He tells them he is living at his apartment and Luci is at Vio's till the church wedding. They are ribbing him bout that. Pato calls and wants to know when he will be at the church with Luci.
Jeronmio comes to Max's office and wants to talk to Max. It's about Vicky. Max has a sick look on his face. Is he about to be found out, Just wait. Jeronimo wants to talk to Max about ALDO and Vicky, Max looks muy (Very) releived. Jeronimo doesn't like Vicky keeping company with Aldo, there's a social difference. Max is pithed. Ruh roh. He will speak to Aldo about this personally.
Rod has come for Luci so they can meet with Padre Honesto. Marcial and Serena are still there and when Rod and Luci have gone, Marcial tells Vio he wants to be a novio to Vio. Vio is very happy, is this like a promise ring type of thing, like pre-engagement? Anyhow, Luci and Rod are on their way to Padre Honesto, and Rod is again promising Luci, noone and nothing will ever seperate them. That piecart is coming, jus' sayin.' Luci is nervous.
Oscar and Max are talking about Rosa. Max tells Oscar she is better off in the hospital and will be much calmer there, but then Claudio showed up and Max tells him he didn't like it. He tells Oscar, Claudio came to visit Rosa but he didn't see her cause she was undergoing tests. Max says he is going to the hospital wants to meet with Aldo tout de suite.
Hospital, D.F.
Rod has just told Max he is married to Luci and Mati is in the room too. Rod is very happy. Max says he wants to be sure that Luci is the love of Rod's life. Rod assures him she is. Max then says that a happy marriage is just an illusion. Rod wants to know if he is talking about his Mama and Papa's marriage? Max tells Rod, Rosa is the love of his life, she is very strong, but needs peace and serenity now! um, no, quiet and when she finds out Rod married Luci there will be hell, I mean she won't be happy. He tells Rod, prepare for your church wedding, don't mention the civil wedding or any wedding at all to your Mama. Mati is giving Max the stinkeye. Bout this time the nurse is bringing Rosa back and she sees her little Roddy and she is very happy to see her hijo (son). She hugs him and cries. Rod is now telling his Mama Rosa, that yes he went looking for Luci and is in love with her. She isn't happy, he gets Hanna and Melissa who have come by, to tell them Mama Rosa doesn't know about his marriage and not to let her know. Rod is leaving and he tells them he is going to work and then being with Luci later, Mama Rosa so not pleased. Hanna is now talking to Rosa, she wants Rosa to see that Rod is very in love with Luci. She tells her Mama that Luci is a very classy lady,and reminds her of the Torreslanda party, when Luci was all dressed up. She helped Pato on his road to recovery, she is very smart and only worked as a maid cause she had to. They all love her, why can't Mama Rosa? Rod adores Luci and she is very beautiful. All Mama Rosa says is, she is worried about Rod and doesn't want to talk about Luci. Hanna tells her Mama she wants her to get better, to get rest so she can come home and that she loves her Mama. She hugs her (This is the first time Mama Rosa has shown any affection for Hanna, she actually let her talk and allowed Hanna to hold her hand and kiss her, amazing). Aldo and Melissa are at the hospital too,and Aldo wants to know why Melissa is defending disadvantaged children. She tells Aldo they have noone else to defend them, and she wants to do that. Hanna comes out and tells them her Mama is asleep. Aldo goes in anyway, leaves her a single rose and a note, I didn't see what it said, so if anyone knows please comment. While Aldo is with her, Hanna and Melissa say that it would be better if Rosa knew the whole marriage thing. Aldo comes out and Boris comes. Boris invites them to his upcoming birthday party, Melissa says she'll come, but Aldo doesn't know if he will. Melissa goes in to see her Tia Rosa. Hanna tells Boris her mama is resting and Boris wants to talk about Lula, but Hanna doesn't. Boris wants to talk to her Papa Max to see if he will allow her to come to his party.
Luci and Hot Bod Rod have taken a little sideways journey and are having some lunch. He wants to take her shopping for new clothes, shoes, whatever she wants, he wants her to be stylish (Ruh Roh, Note to Rod: You can take the girl out of Het Het, but you can't take the Het Het out of the girl). She assures Rod she doesn't need anything and that she has what she needs. Rod says that Melissa will go with her. Luci says she would also like to see Pato. Then she asks Rod, why he didn't tell her that Rosa was in the hospital? He says he just found out himself not long ago.
Het Het:
Don A tells La Lucita he is very nervous about Lic Barrerra. She wants a night of amor (oh, this should be fun) from Don A to hold her tongue. He doesn't want her to say anythink to anyone about Paz's house. Don A and La Lucita have a meeting with Lic Barrerra. He tells Lic Barrerra there was a misunderstanding and here are the orginal deeds for the land and house. La Lucita tells Lic Barrerra that Don A is such a gentleman, and she needed a place to stay and Don A "lent" her the use of the house. Lic Barrerra takes the deeds and goes. La Lucita says memba I get a night of lurrrvvve for this, Ha! (Thanks Vivi).
Paz is back with Magda and Paz is pithed cause Luci and Rod, did, you know. Magda is telling her to let it go. She also tells Magda, that if Rosa causes any trouble for Luci, she will tell the truth, the whole truth,and nothing but the truth. Lic Barrerra drops by Magda and Paz's and he has, are you ready, the orginal deeds to the land and house. He tells them he told Don A he would go to the carcel if he didn't turn them over. He lets the ladies know, if they have any trouble with Don A to give him a ringy dingy in the D.F. They thank him and tell him to thank Claudio for all they have done for them. Paz is happy to have her land and house back. She is over the moon.
Advances:
Max and Aldo have a little talk about Vicky.
Conny will tell on Rosa, if she doesn't tell all.
Rod tells Rosa about the upcoming wedding. Ruh Roh.
Thank you so much Madelaine! Can I tell you how much I laughed during that whole Don Aquiles/Luchita scene. And Procopio in his maid-wear too. LOL! OK, I really want Julie and her friend to go to Het Het and try to deal with the Don. I can just imagine that meeting! You know, I've just thought up another pairing-- Julie and Don Aquiles. No, really! He has money, she loves money. I bet he'd love showing her off. Think about it...
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame Max didn't actually hear Rosa say that Luci is Aurora's child, but he heard enough to at least convince Mati that the story of him fathering a child with Aurora isn't true. I was worried Mati was going to believe it.
A few clarifications:
-Max didn't wonder if Luci is the baby. He still thinks the baby is dead. He just wondered if her resemblance to Aurora, in addition to Claudio reappearing, is cause this mental disturbance in Rosa and bringing up all these old feelings about the Linareses.
-Frigida didn't hear that Rod and Luci are already married, just that they are planning a wedding.
-Max is taking Pato to Boston to see a specialist, so Pato called Rod to find out when the church wedding will be because he doesn't want to miss it. That's when Rod said we're headed to the church now to set the date.
-Don Jero asked Aldo what his intentions are towards Vicky. Is he courting her. At first Aldo looks like he's going to stick with the "friends" story, but then he admits that yes, he is courting Vicky.
-Melissa thinks that Aldo should know the 30 Human Rights. He thinks it's good enough for her to know it and just tell him.
-Aldo made the connection that the same symbol he saw when trying to hack into the Inferno files is the same that he saw on Max's computer while trying to hack into it. He's getting closer to the truth about Max.
-Mati said that she's the one who's going to have a heart attack. LOl! (Not Rosa)
La Luchita and Don A are so funny together, and who knew Copio could cook, like that. Loved his new outfit, lol. I thought Don A had gotten a new housekeeper.
ReplyDeleteOh, Rod and Luci the more he says he loves her and noone and nobody will seperate them, I see that pie card doing a slow roll towards them.
Max and Rosa, what oil and water. She will never beleive that baby isn't his. I really think Mati should have opened her mouth and said. She tells everyone else, she should have told Max the truth. Wait till Max finds out Conny knew too.
Rosa is just crazy, how she is pretending she is keeping it together is beyond me. All that screaming, you'd think the nurse would have told the doctor, already. She just enjoys the suffering.
Aldo and Vicky so funny. Max thought he was in big time trouble when Jeronimo was saying he wanted to talk about Vicky. He thought he would be found out. You could see the releif when Jeronimo said it was about Aldo. lol.
Paz was laying the mother guilt trip on so thick that I was even starting to feel guilty! :) Poor Luci.
ReplyDeleteI like that Luci has no intention of changing her look. Just as she and Rod were talking about her shopping for new clothes, a girl in typical telenovela chick wear passes by- strapless, clingy, short dress, and high heels. Luci didn't look tempted to change her "Luke" in the least. Good for her! Rod did say he loves her look. I think he just wants to spoil her.
Oh, thank you Vivi for the clarifications. I thought Aldo was fudging with Jeronimo, but no, I guess he actually told him the truth. I called that thing on the screen a shamrock cause that's what it looked like to me. I think Aldo is getting way close, he should know soon, the way he is going. Oh, I wasn't sure if Mati meant Rosa with the infarto or herself. She was clutching her chest, lol.
ReplyDeleteI like the pairing of Julie and Don A. That would really be a twosome, lol. I think they'd make a great pair.
I did laugh at the Copio maid wear outfit, ya know at first I thought Don A had gotten a new maid lol. Then I noticed it was Copio, lol. Poor Dona Lucita, she wants that night of lurrrvvve with Don A. I was laughing so hard when she was trying to put the moves on him and his fake coughing was hilarious.
The scenes between Max and Rosa, and Hannah and Rosa were very good and very powerful. She and Max have a dysfunctional marriage, but I do think he loves her. Her kids adore her. And even Aldo showed her ternderness when she was asleep and kissed her on the head. I think his note said something like be strong tia. She is a very lucky loca. Now, if only all these people who love her would just commit her to a manicomio, or get her to a shrink regularly.
ReplyDeleteAgree with all you comments Vivi. I fixed the part where Frigid told Gala that Rod and Luci were married, to they are planning on getting married. Now it makes more sense. I thought Frigid had heard it all.
ReplyDeleteI agree Max does love Rosa. He is only fooling around, because Rosa won't give it up. If she did, I don't think he would cheat. They do need to get her help. Even Max knows she is going off her rocker. Mati is really aiding and abetting her, but I think Conny is fed up. She just wants to tell the truth already. She is tired of keeping the secret.
I thought that was a woman serving food too at first! Why was Procopio dressed like Aunt Jemima?
ReplyDeleteSure hope those pics of Inferno don't end up hurting Serena. But then again, Pato may need a nurse. She's a nurse. Could be a plot shifter. Wouldn't that just be the end of Rosa? One son with a maid and the other with a nurse?
Maybe if she spent less time with the padre and more time with Max they'd have a better marriage. He really did look sad talking to her in the hospital. He'd be easier to like if he treated Vicki better.
Kelly
Who wants to bet that Luci is already embarazada? I never saw the previous version of this, so this is just on instinct based on long viewing experience.
ReplyDeleteOf course they're not related and Claudio is Luci's dad.
Where are Ariche's parents?
Madelaine, this was absolutely sensational. I hung on every well-written word and phrase. It was the perfect summary.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy your insight: "(Note to Vicky: Ok, now is the time to dump this idiot, he has NO respect for you, jus' sayin')" and your humor: "He tells Mati, are you ready for this??? He is worried about Rosa's mental health, ya think???". Couldn't agree more!
"He tells her she is the Amor di mi Vida (Love of my life) and Mi Mujuer (My woman) and she just doesn't believe him." Hmmm. I felt uneasy at that dubious declaration. It may have been a partial truth, referencing the very early stages in Max's relationship with Rosa. But clearly he harbors no such feelings now. He is a consummate liar, angry and fierce in his denials. My point amigas is, can we truly believe him when he states he only admired Aurora from afar? While I have no doubt that he is not Luci's father, everything else with him is suspect as far as I am concerned.
I found it very odd that when Claudio met Rod, he formally shook his hand and made no mention of the wedding. I'm further confused why Luci has still not contacted Claudio!
I am enjoying a mini-crush on Aldo. I don't know what he wrote on the note, but I think he meant Rosa to think Max left it along with the rose. His kiss of Rosa was so sweet. I shudder to think what Max will do to him because of Vicky.
Vivi, I also loved the Hannah/Rosa scene. Laura Flores is a marvelous actress, who particularly shines in scenes where she is sick/dying: Guapos and CS in particular.
Vivi, I also howled at "another pairing-- Julie and Don Aquiles. No, really! He has money, she loves money. I bet he'd love showing her off. Think about it..." I have and that would be something to see!
Thanks again Madelaine!
Diana
When Vicky told Max that she was worried that the reason Rosa was sick is because she found out about them, Max said the day that happens is the day that they (Max and Vikcy) are through. Translation: He is never, ever going to leave Rosa and no other woman (except maybe Aurora Linares) is worth it. So I'm inclined to believe that he's speaking the truth when he says Rosa is the love of his life (or was). But I think all these years of coldness and indifference on her part, and sarcasm and frustration on his, has destroyed much of the love that was probably there in the beginning.
ReplyDeleteThe last episode when Hannah announced she and Boris had kissed to Rosa, Hannah asked, didn't you do the same thing with dad at my age. Connie jumped in and said how much Rosa and Max were all over each other at that age, but Rosa cut her short. Obviously there was once passion and affection there.
Both Rosa and Max are control freaks. Both want things done their way. Her domain is the home; his is the office. Both are ruthless in making sure things are done as they want them in their domain. It seems that Claudio and Aurora upset that balance somehow. Max probably felt threatend by Claudio's skills in the office. Rosa felt threatened by Aurora's ability to love and be loved (in particular by Max). They both committed sins and crimes to get rid of their "rival" and any trace of their rival (the baby), but their marriage paid the price in the long run and never improved. However, Max did win out with the business. It's a success and it's all his.
Urban I am with you. I think that Luci will end up with child too. They only did it three times so far, but you know in TN's once is usually enough.
ReplyDeleteKelly I agree with you about the pics. Gala will go all out for her revenge, and Julie just eggs her on constantly. Julie just wants the money. Since Gala was crying in the epi before this one I say she still isn't over Hot Bod Rod. I like Max, but I don't like Max. He is ruthless with his business and not nice to Vicky, but I love how he treats his kids, and it is obvious he loves Rosa, but it is the ruthless side I don't like, especially railroading Claudio the way he did. I agree with Vivi there. He wanted it to be all his.
I wonder how long it will be before people connect the dots about Luci and Aurora's baby. I think Mati already knows, Rosa too, but what about Conny? I think Pato knows too.
Diana I don't think Rod knows Claudio. I can't remember if he met him during the Inferno fracas. The only ones that knew Claudio helped Luci are Mati and Melissa. They were there when the papers came for Luci and Luci mentioned that Claudio was helping her. The court papers that is.
I want to see how far La Luchita will get with Don A. They are so funny together. But I think she would have to slip him a mickey before he would do anything with her.
I like Lic Barrerra too. I am surprised he didn't take that bribe from Don A also. Since Lastra was his client I thought Lic Barrerra was crooked too, but now not so much. I hope he continues to help Claudio with his case against Max. I like the pairing of he and Magda. She is a fiesty one.
Secrets and who knows:
ReplyDeleteThe baby Aurora had did not die:
-Rosa, Mati, Connie, Paz, Estella, Magda
Luci is Aurora's baby:
-Rosa (found out when Estella said Luci's mom's name), Mati (found out when she heard Luci tell Pato her parents' names), Connie (Rosa just otld her), Paz (always knew), Estella (Mati told her), Magda (Paz told her)
Rosa THINKS the baby Aurora had is Max's (hence her hate for Aurora):
- Rosa (of course), Connie, Mati, and Max (but he still thinks the baby is dead)
People who know Luci looks like Aurora:
-All the people above, Claudio, Rod, and Pato
Of these three guys, Pato is the closest to learning the truth about Luci. He knows something more is going on with his mom and she's hiding something. He's made the connection between Luci's age and the age the dead baby would have been.

ReplyDeleteAnother secret--
ReplyDeleteMax framed Claudio:
-Max, Rosa, Claudio
And the other half of the “Aurora’s baby did not die” secret is – and Rosa is the one who faked the baby’s death and gave her away.
Vivi you are so right, so many secrets, so many lies. We should keep a running list of who knows what and when they knew it. Sometimes it is hard to keep up. I think it will be awhile before we find out all the many secrets and lies. What will Max do when he finds out Aurora's baby didn't die? I want Claudio to find out first though. She is after all his. He'll want some venganza on Rosa though.
ReplyDeleteI think Rosa's heart problem is caused by stress. I too like Laura Flores. She is one powerful actress with the facial expressions alone. She is good at crying too. And can she bring the crazy. I remember her most from CS 2009 and the little bit she was on DA. On the pause for commercials when they show her, she is shaking her head like whatever she is thinking about she wants out of her head, lol.
Madelaine--You got a very difficult episode recapped in excellent fashion.
ReplyDeleteYou got all the funny stuff between Don A & Luchita. I'm trying to think of anyone else who started out in a tn as a fearful ogre and has turned into a truly tragi-comic figure. None of his little plans have been successfully executed yet--and I hope they never will.
You got Magda's overly old-fashioned concern about pre- vs. post-wedding carnal unions. In her day, I'm sure doing cositas before you got married meant instant pregnancy and humiliation and shame in the pueblo--besides being a very religious person taking lessons in virginity very seriously. But look who her BFF is, Magda, whose own daughter's origin is a bit sketchy.
You got the total breakdown of Rose and Max trying to reason with an hysterical woman.
You got Mati's tiptoeing around this very intimate revelation (even if it was at the top of their voices).
You got the Julie thing perfectly, it's all about the money. Does she really love Gala, I wonder.
Well, I could go on, with Aldo, Luci, Rod, and everybody else, but Vivi, as always, got to all the insights and comments before I did.
Thank you for your secrets list. It's like keeping a ball game score card!
Madelaine--keep the pie carts rolling and the anvils dangling. We got a lot of them to deal with in the next couple of weeks.
Anita
Thank-you so much Madelaine for a super recap.
ReplyDeleteI coulden't help but notice the great acting of Laura Flores. I was comparing her with Susana Gonzalez in LQNPA. Both actresses are playing the part of women on the edge and both ladies are doing an excellent job in demanding roles.
the gringo
gringo--you are so right. In ENDA Laura F. was another anguished mom, but here she has perfected the mental and physical meltdown. Rosa ooozes a strange mixture of strenth and fragility.
ReplyDeleteSusana has become the Sinthia who bounces and flounces and wallows in self-inflicted misery and personifies all the emotions between anger and self-pity (with an ample dose of cruelty) with such ease it's almost frightening.
Anita
Lots of powerful scenes. I too have come to the conclusion that Max really loves Rosa and while she blames Aurora for the troubles in her family he blames Claudio. That scene between the two fo them was excellent, full of real emotion.
ReplyDeleteLoved the scene with Max and Claudio when Rod showed up. You could see right away that Claudio didn't care for his daughter's hubby and when the inevitable anvil its he will likely have good reason to dislike him.
I actually hope Luci isn't pregnant. How many novelas fall back on the first time, dumped innocent knocked up story line.
I like that Luci is so confident of herself that she doesn't feel the need to change. I think Rod loves her the way she is but realizes deep down that if she is going to become part of the society his family lives in it would be better for her to look like everyone else to avoid vicious taunts. I that it was clever of him to suggest that she Jana and Melissa could have fun together shopping.
I think the comic scenes with Don A and the gorda are to give us a break from the powerful emotional stuff going on in the DF.
I actually thought dumb and dumber where going to take the trip to the pueblo to continue playing detective. Too bad Julie is taking her friend not her daughter. I can just picture the two of them trying to avoid DonA's fumbling attempts at seduction. If the two of them are stupid enough to believe any bull he throws their way they deserve whatever happens to them. I'm hoping Julie loses her New York pad and Gala gets fired for printing libel.
I was wondering if Gala and Julie had discovered the marriage. Obviously they, Frigida and Rosa are the only one around who are still in the dark. Julie bet hide all the glass in the apartment when the truth comes out.
Decie Girl go agree with you about dumb and dumber lol. Carolla seems to have the brains that Gala doesn't seem to have though. Maybe that is why Julie is taking her along.lol. Also about the glass ITA with you there, but she better hide all the cellphones too, cause we have another cellphone thrower. But I have to say noone beats Sergio Sendel's characters (Aaron in DA and Vins in UFCS for throwing the cellphone). I heard Sergio Sendel was in a period piece, what did he throw there, jus' wondering lol.
ReplyDeleteMadelaine
ReplyDeleteWhen Max walked into his bedroom the other day and tossed his cellphone on the bed where it bounced off I had immediate flashbacks of Sergio who is a world call phone abuser. I saw him something whose name escapes me and i can't count the number of times he took the phone and nearly beat it too death. Televisa's budget must be pretty high to deal with the number of phones that get thrown around. LOL
Decie Girl - that was Destilando Amor. I swear he must have thrown fifty cellphones if not more. The recappers would count how many times he threw one, and not only cellphones it was regular phones too. lol.
ReplyDeleteLucita has a thing big time for Don A. Too funny... hee hee. And Procopio's attire was hysterical.
ReplyDeletePoor Vicky is in for a reality check soon that all Sugar Daddy Max wants from her is a wham bam thank you Mam. I think she'll realize pretty quick that she is no man's beck-and-call girl. And she'll give Aldo a change.
Speaking of Aldo: how sweet was that him laying the rose & note by Rosa's bedside table. Such an aaaawwwww moment.
Jury is still out on who is the bigger psycho b***h: Jules or Gala. Right now it's a tie. And it would be nice if it was revealed why Jules is in the money pit.
Madelaine
ReplyDeleteThat was it. I always remember when he would be using an old fashion phone and then hold the receiver and bang it into the base. I will admit there have been times when I've been tempted to do the same thing especially when politicians come a calling.
In the case of the bigger psycho the apple didn't fall far from the tree with Julie. I don't know if we'll ever know why Jules is in the money pit other than she seems to spend like a drunken sailer. Can not wait to watch her turn ip her nose when she hit Het Het. This is the woman who threw a minor hissy fit over having to have lunch in a cafeteria, All she needs to do is step in a bit of donky do to really go ape shit.
Anita- Of course Juli loves Gala. Why wouldn't she love a daughter beautiful enough to sell to the highest bidder? She'll probably try that next. With Don Aquiles. Ha.
ReplyDeleteDid Max actually frame Claudio? I know he loves his kids, and probably his crazy wife, but he still has a dark side so wouldn't put this past him. I though it was just suspicion on our part though, or did I miss something?
kelly
Kelly- There was a conversation between Max and Rosa long ago when he basically admitted to framing Claudio and it was clear that she knew about it. Notice in their conversations with each other about Claudio neither one of them is ever talking about Claudio being guilty and betraying them. Only with others do they pull out the story-- well at least Max does.
