Capitulo
71: The Road to Hades Is Not Paved With Good Intentions
Lascuráin
Mansion: Isabitch just finished telling Fernando that she only
needed two days max to pack up when Ana approached the library
demanding to know what happened to her guitar.
“When
in Hades are you going to stop this crap, Isabela?” asked
Aphrodite. “Whom do you think you're fooling? You don't even know what compassion is.”
“I
wonder if she has poison in her veins instead of blood,” said
Persephone.
“Can
I turn her into a Gorgon now?” asked Hermes. “Please, please!
Nothing would be more suitable.”
“Not
until she's permanently away from this family,” said Zeus. “You
know what happens to mortals who look at those creatures. I don't
look happily at them myself.”
Isabitch
continued to gloat in Yolanda's room, telling her that the shards of
the guitar were in the garbage. “So you did do something to the
guitar?” shouted Yolanda. Isabitch shushed her mother then closed
the door. She went on about how this is driving Ana loca; nothing
new here. “There's nothing left to cause them to suspect you?”
At Isabitch's denial, both laughed.
Downstairs
in the parlour Fernando pointed out that they had no proof. Isabela
was complying with the divorce. Fanny didn't quite believe any of
this, but Fernando said he would be speaking with his lawyer. He
wasn't ready to believe that Isabela would do such a thing. Ana
pointed out the woman's cruel treatment of Luz, the most recent
incident of her cruelty toward the children. Fernando told her that
Isabela was leaving, that Bruno was searching the entire house for
the guitar, and that he personally would also look. He then left the
house.
La
Costeña: Enrique went into Fernando's office with documents
relating to the 30th anniversary celebration. Fernando
looked at a particular sheet and commented about the expense.
Enrique pointed out that this important to company image and Linda of
the Tight Bun entered, accusing Fernando's “stupid decisions” of
causing a company crisis.
“Look
at that tight bun. It must require enough strength to pull up her
sagging face.”
“Now,
now, Hera. That's rather a mean-spirited thing to say,” said Zeus.
“No
meaner than she is. One would think she hates Fernando as much as
Enrique does.”
“How
do you think she already knows about Enrique being forced out? He
had to have called her as soon as Fernando left his apartment. She
wouldn't know any other way.”
“That
is true,” said Hermes. “What is bothering me is why Fernando
isn't more up-front about this situation. He could have just
dismissed him and told him he didn't need to show his face at the
office again. Happens every day in the mortal world.”
Lascuráin
Mansion: Isabitch and Yolanda talked about how she couldn't burn
the ship because of the divorce because Fernando would hate her when
Bruno knocked. He entered and told them that he was searching the
house for the missing guitar, per Fernando's orders.
La
Costeña: Linda started giving Fernando hell over how his
decisions were impacting the stockholders, who were supposedly up in
arms over Enrique's resignation. Fernando told her quite calmly that
such serious matters were his to resolve or he would resign. She
walked out without another word and Enrique didn't look too happy.
Lascuráin
Mansion: Fanny tried to reassure Ana that what is in her heart
is more important. However, all Ana's memories of her mother were
connected to the missing guitar. Fanny was also sure that Isabully
did this but they didn't have proof. Ana wanted so much to get
Isabitch for this and so did Fanny, but she reminded her that they
need to restrain themselves for the moment in order to win the war
against La Tarantula. She assured her that she and the other kids
loved her.
La
Costeña: Fernando told Enrique that the event is very important
and he wanted all details attended to.
“When
is this party supposed to happen?” asked Hermes. “Surely he
should be out the door by then.”
Beatriz
entered Enrique's office asking if she could get him some coffee.
For a moment it looked as though she were investigating what was up
with him, but he said that he was being treated unfairly. He asked
her to help him with the anniversary celebration and she agreed. She
was far too amiable about it.
“It
looks like Beatriz has gone to The Dark Side,” said Aphrodite. “I
am really disappointed in her.”
“If
she has she will get what she deserves,” said Hera. “He that
troubleth his own house and all that.”*
León
entered Fernando's office to request some time off to help his
mother. He explained that her taco stand at the university had been
destroyed and that her income was important to their family.
Fernando told him to take whatever time he needed.
Lascuráin
Mansion: Bruno entered Ana's room to tell her that Diego was
there to see her. Before she left the room she asked him who
Domenica was.
Diego
waited downstairs with a large bouquet of red roses. Manuela was
thrilled to pieces at the sight of them and they teased each other
playfully about them. She finally told him she was angry with Bruno
because he was cheating on her with a nurse.
Ana
questioned Bruno again, pointing out his phone calls and absences.
She said that these have to have something to do with Domenica and
demanded an explanation. He weasled his way out of it again and left
the room. She decided to look in to this, then prayed for Bruno not
to be ill.
Diego
had arranged the roses under Manuela's appreciative eye, handing her
the last one. Bruno entered the room and she walked past him without
a word.
Fanny
was looking at the internet in her quest for the meaning of life vis
à vis her future career. She remembered a conversation with her
mother when she saw her writing a check for a charity to help needy
children in need of an education. This prompted her to search for
where poverty existed.
La
Costeña: Enrique told Fernando on the phone that Beatriz was in
his office and that they were settling some questions about the
party. He hung up the phone, satisfied with Fernando's response, and
asked for Beatriz's cooperation.
“Fernando
should have told her that he was forcing Enrique's resignation,”
said Athena. “And he should have told her why.”
“Sadly,
some men don't always follow through correctly,” said Hera.
“I
know. Why do you think I never married?”
Margarita's
Apartment: After hearing what happened, León remembered
Enrique's threat and realized he was likely to have been responsible
for the destruction.
Lascuráin
Mansion: Diego understood Ana's feelings about the guitar.
However, he told her that when he had taken it before he took the
information about it to help them find her mother. She hugged him
with many “Te quieros”.
“That's
not 'te amo,'” said Athena. “Your son is falling down on the
job.”
“He
is not,” said Aphrodite. “It's just that he can't undo what he's
already done. She loves Fernando and that's that. What he should be
doing now is finding another woman for Diego.”
Margarita's
Apartment: León explained who Enrique Basurto was, what his
motives were and that he had threatened him at the wedding on
Saturday. Margarita asked whether Fanny knew and León told her she
knows about half. “What are we going to do?” she asked. No
answer yet.
Lascuráin
Mansion: Ana thanked Diego and told him she thanked God every
day that he was in her life. He said he would go on fighting for her
to love him.
Hospital:
Isabitch and Yomama were in the reception area, the latter
resentful that the former insisted she come with her. She was
whining about having to leave the mansion penniless. Isabitch told
her to stop the histrionics and that she would need her to accompany
her out of the clinic.
La
Costeña: Fanny visited her father to tell him she wanted to
study sociology because she wants to help people and correct
injustices. Fernando told her that this isn't as simple as it
sounds. She also had to think about where she would work and live.
She also explained that the best courses for this are given at public
universities. This surprised him a bit, but she had found something
she was enthusiastic about.
Hospital:
Isabruja was lying on the gurney as the doctor explained he
would give her another sedative shortly. He asked if she remembered
what they had talked about before. She replied yes, she knew that
this procedure could be dangerous to her and to the baby.
La
Costeña: Fernando was still trying to take this in, a little
incredulous that his daughter would want to attend a public
university. She laughed, asking “Why, because you're a
millionaire?” and went on about how they're not exactly
stereotypical. He was a little apprehensive because of all the
coming changes. For example, when Fanny and León live together
there will be issues because of the differences in their upbringing
despite their family's lack of prejudice.
León
charged into Enrique's office accusing him of the destruction of his
mother's stand. In his most insulting manner, Enrique didn't even
deny it. He did say that the next time people would be hurt.
León threatened to have him arrested and the response was “Yeah,
good luck with that. And how beautiful your son is.” León knew
what he meant by that and grabbed him by the lapels. Enrique made it
clear that León knew what he wanted. León pointed out that Fanny
wanted nothing to do with him. Enrique told him that he can believe
that if he wants but that he would have Fanny “por las buenas o las
malas.” He exited with an expression that clearly indicated his
madness, leaving León in a state of frustration.
“León,
it's not enough to have the courage of a lion; you need the stealth
of the lioness. You also need the wisdom of an owl.”
“Can't
you send him one of yours?”
“I'll
find a way, but it would be best for him to tell Fernando
everything.”
Fanny
told her dad she realized she was going outside her comfort zone, but
she was prepared for it. Fernando told her that while he was
concerned, he would help because she was his daughter, his princess,
and he loved her. Hugs.
Hospital:
The doctor reminded Isabruja that the test will have to wait until
they had DNA sources from the two possible fathers. He also told her
that the test could be dangerous for the fetus. Yomama commented
that this was the result of her stubbornness.
Televisa:
Edna came to meet Johnny with bad news. She is out of money. His
cell phone rang and it was a message from Dana, who wanted to see
him. He made an excuse about a screen test, kissed Edna, and took
his leave.
“Really,
both these chicks could do so much better,” said Eros.
“So
why don't you work on that?”
“I
will, Mother. No te preocupes.”
Other
Hospital: While Bruno had a flashback about being told that he
had at best one month, Ana wanted to get her mind off the guitar.
She and Diego arrived to talk to Domenica. She asked the desk nurse
about her and Domenica turned around to identify herself. Ana
insisted upon discussing Bruno. Domenica refused to, saying that she
couldn't because she didn't have his permission. Ana tried
guilt-tripping her because Manuela had the right to know. Ana got to
the point, asking if Bruno was ill, and Domenica excused herself and
left. Diego caught her expression, believing that it meant something
serious. He wondered whether Bruno was dying, but Ana didn't want to
believe that.
La
Costeña: Fernando met with Tomás, his lawyer, and got straight
to the point. Tomás was surprised due to the recency of the
wedding, but Fernando explained that while Isabela was “valiosa”
he was not the person to make her happy.
“Why
doesn't he just tell him the truth?” Hera asked. “He has enough
charges to make against her to get three divorces.”
“Sometimes
a gentleman is not the best thing to be,” said Zeus.
Hospital:
As Isabruja began going under the sedative the doctor explained
that he would be shortly giving her a pain killer and an antibiotic.
He reminded her about the DNA samples. She was annoyed but told the
nurse she needed to talk to her mother. The nurse left to get her.
As the doctor walked out for a second she thought to herself that she
hoped the baby would be Fernando's.
La
Costeña: Fernando asked Tomás how long this would take and
was told that if all are in agreement and considering that there was
a baby involved it would be two or three months.
Fanny
asked León why he hadn't told her and he explained that it all just
happened. She asked whether Margarita was alright and León assured
her she was. Beatriz' phone rang and when she was off she told León
that Fernando wanted to see him.
Lascuráin
Mansion: Ana assured Manuela that nothing was going on between
Bruno and the nurse, but she didn't quite buy it. Diego told her
that it could be something far more serious, and it was possible that
Bruno was dying. None of the adults realized that the five younger
kids arrived just in time to hear this until they reacted.
Margarita's
Apartment: Fanny stopped over to check up on her, having to
endure nasty cracks from Reina first. Margarita told her she was
alright but that this was about Enrique's revenge. Apparently León
had left that out in their earlier conversation.
Lascuráin
Mansion: The kids asked Ana about Bruno and she tried to reassure
them despite her own concern. Luz told her that they loved Bruno and
she hugged the little girl while Alicia and the boys looked on with
serious expressions.
As
Manuela stood still worrying, Bruno shuffled into the kitchen playing
with his deck of cards. She went over to him and embraced him. He
smiled over her shoulder.
Margarita's
Apartment: Margarita had reported the vandalism to the
university authorities but they don't have the proof to accuse
Enrique specifically. Fanny explained to Reina that their word
wouldn't be enough.
La
Costeña: Fernando and Tomás concluded their meeting with
Fernando telling him he was also sending some company documents with
him. They shook hands and Tomás expressed regret that the marriage
didn't work. Fernando agreed, but said that he regretted that he had
to make this decision.
Lascuráin
Mansion: Ana prayed that nothing was wrong with Bruno while she
collected laundry from the kids' rooms. Isabruja and Yomama returned
from the hospital and were heading toward the bedroom with Yomama
supporting her hellspawn. They had just gotten to the door when Ana
turned the corner.
“What
are you looking at?” she said.
“Nothing,
ex-Señora,” said Ana, with a mock gasp.
“What
did you say?” Isabruja was already loaded for bear.
“Calm
down, daughter,” said Yomama, trying to prevent more conflict.
Of
course, this de-evolved into another argument. Ana didn't drop her
accusation about the guitar and Isabruja accused her of stealing her
husband.
“No;
you lost him all by yourself,” said Ana.
Isabully
tried to hit her but Ana stopped her by grabbing her wrist. Isabitch
then screamed in pain and pulled back. Ana offered to help only to
get nastiness in return. Yomama told her hellspawn to calm down,
Isabitch threatened to kill Ana if anything happened to the baby.
Yomama escorted the puling Isabrat to her own room and got her to the
bed.
Bruno
and Manuela were starting to talk when Ana came in and used the
kitchen phone to call Fernando.
Ana
explained to Bruno what happened, ending with the hope that nothing
happens to the baby.

I wonder how much the kids witnessed... if they heard YoMama say to Isa that she caused the danger to the baby and that Isa wants YoMama to keep quiet about this... --Ojala and from your lips to Dios' ears.

Prediction: When Fernando is forced out of La Costeña unfairly he and Nicolás will sell or rent one of their properties unless he can raise enough dinero by selling the yacht and whatever else he owns in Cozumel. He has Manuela's and Margarita's patience and cooking talent and can start a restaurant. He has his business skills, Jennifer's experience, León's need for his approval, and the loyalty of his servants as his opening assets. I'm picturing a traditional Mexican restaurant with delicious home-style food, colorful décor, and mariachis. Of course Diego will also sing.
I don't want them to lose the mansion and I do want them to get back their wealth.

I'm finding it hard to put my head around what the writers will come up with for another 100+ episodes. For me, the story could end satisfactorily in just another 25+ episodes.
It seems as if we are going to go the typical TN route with Ana being blamed for Isabruja's baby demise. Just a guess.
Urban: again kudos to you for an excellent recap. Love the screen shots.
Lurking on the Hasta page, I can't believe Pedro Fernandez is being replaced by David Zepeda. I didn't watch this TN because I think PF is so unappealing. Coincidentally we were just blogging a few weeks ago about producers that changed actors mid novela.
Isabruja's anvil should fall througout the novela. Although I think MV is playing Isabruja's part fantastically.

I agree; she's doing very well.
If in fact Fernando suffers a business disaster I guess the writers could use those 110 episodes to make him recover it.
What is this with PF being replaced? I bailed after the opening episode of that series because I couldn't buy PF as the hero to DO's villain.

Urban, another wonderful recap punctuated by the savvy Olympian commentary. You gotta love it! Thanks!
My favorite scene was Yolanda doing the " cancela cancela cancela" just like Ana when Isabela was in pain.
My least liked scene: Reina having to put in her two cents one more time. She needs to go.
What's up with Beatriz going after Enrique in his "moment of need?" Unless she is doing "undercover" work (that was intended to be funny) she is really sick to align herself with him.
And we all knew that Ana was going to be set up by Isabela to have a physical altercation with her. Unfortunately, Ana was too upset to see it coming and played right into it.
Will Fanny or León tell Fernando about the threats that Enrique made against Leon's family or not?

Urban:
Yes it was confirmed today and through interviews that PF is leaving in midNovember. The scuttlebutt is that his wife and daughter don't like his love scenes with MdelaS. Although
PF stated in an interview that he was leaving the show due to health reasons.
Univision and Televisa confirmed DZ replace PF.
Oh and US TV is making a remake of "Reina del Sur" (for USA tv, I think). It was a nice change from the typical novela storyline. But "LA Traicion" was stupendously great!
Why can't they come up with new story lines instead of regurgitating the same ones over and over. "Reina" isn't that old. I just finished watching it on YouTube.

I think Jarifa or Julia strongly recommended "Reina" to me. Why can't they produce more mystery novelas?

Are they making it in English?
Remakes are happening because all these networks are becoming very risk-adverse. They'd rather do another version of something that had been successful rather than take a chance on something unknown.
As to changing actors, it's understandable when this happens due to illness or pregnancy (as with Edith Gonzales about 10 years ago). However, if it's due to a clash of personalities they need to grow up.
Back to our story:
Reina needs to get over herself, as do Hissabela, Enfrique, and Fanny's friends.

Thanks, Urban and Olympians, for another fantastic recap, including screenshots and divine commentary!
Bruno's shushing Manuela annoyed me. If he serves as her supervisor at the mansion, I suppose I can understand his right to silence her. If he feels he can control her behavior because he dates her, I dislike his assumption of male "superiority" in the relationship. To me, it suggests men, who are "rational and wise," need to keep women, who are "emotional and impulsive," in check. It's a touchy subject with me. . .
Thank you, UA, for explaining the difference between 'te quiero' and 'te amo.' I thought they meant the same thing; therefore, I thought Ana declared her romantic love for Diego. Even though I know Diego isn't her endgame, I was happy. I figured if he was going to die in a horrible motorcycle accident, at least he would pass on to the afterlife believing in Ana's love. I do not look forward to Diego experiencing heartbreak again because his brother stole the girl. (Of course, heartbreak is far better than death by motorcycle accident!)
My favorite parts of last night's capitulo were the kids and Yomama's mimicking Ana's 'cancelo, cancelo, cancelo,' suggesting how profoundly Ana affects their lives. Cute!

Interestingly just when I was asking myself about amar vs querer years ago the question was answered for me in a novela in a line said by Jorge Salinas. However, it does bug me that "amar" is not exclusive to romantic love and is also used between parents and children. I really think that there should be a distinction between those two.
Bruno is the lead servant (majordomo) and does have authority over the rest of the staff (except Ana) so he technically has the right to shush any of them. In this particular example Manuela would have not added anything helpful in the situation because she hadn't witnessed anything.

Very nice recap.
-Did Ana/Jenny ever tell anyone about the brujas leaving them on the side of the road for the wedding?
-Does it bother anybody else when the brujas mock Bruno's speech? That's waaay out of line.
-Beatriz at first came across as very intelligent and self confident. Is Enrique that irresistable, what's going on there?
-Is Enrique really resigning? Seems odd that he wasn't forced to clean out his desk and escorted out on Monday morning.

UA, awesome recap and screen caps. I really hated Isa talking to the 'audience' again... please writers, stop that... we are not as dumb as she thinks.
I am wondering how Reeky will use the fact that Betty has sworn to side with him... he probably will use her in the party in the demise of Fernando stating stte of 'And Betty is witness!' and she won't feel enough dignity to deny so she will end up betraying Fernando for her love for Reeky.
I wonder how much the kids witnessed... if they heard YoMama say to Isa that she caused the danger to the baby and that Isa wants YoMama to keep quiet about this... this will really play against Isa's plans. When Ana is accused they won't stay quiet, that is for sure. Even if they don't know the details it will plant the reason for doubt in the minds of others.
It was funny that Isa and Yomama's convo in the waiting room of the hospital... when Isa basically was trying to say her mom was idiot, her mother said something in returned and finished it saying 'and who is the idiot?' and both the patient sitting by YoMama and the receptionist were nodding like 'yeah i know'.
I really want Leon to tell Fernando and Fanny the whole story of Reeky's accusations. That way Fernando might start suspecting Reeky before the party... but i doubt it. By the way, when Reeky came to show Fernando the last balance reports, Fernando saw something there he wanted Reeky to rework. Also when Reeky brought the budget for the celebration, Fernnado seemed to think it was too expensive so he wanted Reeky to redo the budget too... and in there somewhere (probably telling tight bun) he said that Reeky had a few days or weeks left to work there and in that time he would finish some reports he had to do. So Reeky is still there for a few weeks, I guess... and that will give him enough time to get his plan going.
UA, I LOVE LOVE your scenario about the restaurant... esp when Fernando can hire Reina (as long as she changes her attitude) and other people from the barrio (with a little more than the minimum wage they would be happy there since he would not look down on them) and he would have Margarita's tasteful cooking... I like it... very much.
I wonder if Bruno's demise is actually someone else's like his mom. And he will need to clear the misunderstanding by spilling out the truth.

Did you all see traces of wood on that mallet?? hmmm!! I wonder if Bruno noticed them too... a mallet with fresh traces of wood sitting on YoMama's night table...
I didn't notice any wood chips but Bruno should definitely question what such a thing would be doing in Yomama's room when she and her brat demand to be kowtowed to and waited on hand and foot.
I suppose that Fanny being out of the office is the reason Fernando didn't insist that Enfrique not return to it. However, I don't know whether corporate behavior in Mexico resembles that of US behavior with regard to this situation. He has no clue that Enfrique had such a grudge against him as he does and as someone pointed out last week if Enfrique's father's company depended on the one contract it wasn't well-managed in the first place.
Echoes of Rogelio and Bruno in LQNPA.

Always enjoy the gods and goddesses kavetching on our story. Great recap UA and next time you channel the high and mighty, ask them to prep a few lightning bolts would you?
I suppose Isa swearing to God was our indication that she is beyond hope. Frankly Yomama laughing at knowing Ana's distress over the guitar and what Isa did puts her right there too. I think I was madder about that reaction than anything Isa did since we know she's "evil".
Just enough of the Bruno story. He's not dying and the writers need to move this along. Now the kids are upset, time to clear up the mystery.
I cannot believe Betty would be that stupid, so my guess is she's playing Eeeky. If not she is as dumb as a clock, but if she's helping him on this anniversary party, hopefully she'll discover what he's going to do and stop it?
Cracks me up about Tight Bun's assertion about the stockholders. Yeah, what all three of them? Most major corporations, stockholders are use to non-CEO people coming and going and Eeky has not been there long enough to make an impact. C'mon writers, let's be a little more realistic here on how large corporations are run.
I still think the family is going to take a financial hit of some kind. Way too many clues and inferences to things going that way.But I can't believe Fer would lose everything. I could see the family taking a financial hit that would down-play their living status. If the writers do try to play it that everything is lost, then Fer has to be the dumbest businessman out there and never planned for his family's future? I can't believe that. I wonder what those "documents" were that Fer gave the lawyer?
I think that could be the part 2 of this TN - the family adapting to a new way of life outside the mansion. I actually would enjoy that. (Love Fer's reaction to Fanny wanting to go to a ...GASP...public university.! Horrors! Maybe he does need a lesson in how the other 90% lives).
In a way I'm glad Leon didn't go postal on Eeky though he certainly couldn't be blamed. But he should march straight to Fer and tell him that Eeky didn't deny it. That way Fer can FIRE Eeky's butt instead of asking for a resignation and letting him do the 2 week hang around and run some stupid party.
Ok, I took the bone of Ana hugging the daylights out of Diego. My happy moment.

I definitely think that Leon will eventually have to rescue Fanny from Enrique. The actor playing Leon has potential as a junior galan so he will get the opportunity to be heroic after having to express so much frustration.
What surprises me so much about this story is the lack of sibling rivalry among the Lascurain kids. Sebastian and Alicia are typical middle kids but don't seem to envy their older or younger sibs for anything.
Betty going to the dark side is not a good turn at all. I also want to think she's spying on him because she knows he's a cad. Was there any earlier comment about how long she has worked there?

Another awesome job UA
“Sometimes a gentleman is not the best thing to be,” said Zeus.
My favorite bit last night was when Bruno said he could call the moving van for Yomama.
Runners up, Isabela reminding us we cannot warn anyone and the employees that were collecting the papers in the background that Ricky had knocked clear across the room.
Yuck moment was Betty immediately running into the arms of Ricky.
Why Leon doesn't tell Fernando what is going down with the threat to Fanny & his own child, I cannot fathom.
I am not bothered so much by Reina (19 year old girl crushing on a guy for 10 years and thought it her turn but remains in the friendzone) and it her comments the other evening that struck the bone with Fanny and pointed her toward social & economic inequality.
Fernando - no, what I mean is I heard about the toga parties at that school
Tomás - and you thought my prenuptial suggestion absurd
Leon - hit record on that cell phone
Ricky - "I may look calm but in my head I've killed you three times"
Fanny - how do I tell him about this anarchy tattoo
Diego - "Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on"
Isabela - I swear on my broom
Betty - ass kisser
Ana - snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory

UrbanA: Loved the Greek gods' commentary. Especially noteworthy:
“Look at that tight bun. It must require enough strength to pull up her sagging face.” (Worth a large guffaw or two!)
'Enrique slapped them out of his hand and they went flying" --totally childish and out of place in a bidnez environment.' (What a fricking butthead.)
“León, it's not enough to have the courage of a lion; you need the stealth of the lioness. You also need the wisdom of an owl.” --ITA!! Fight fire with fire, here. At least his mama knows when to come out with the truth. But Fanny claims no proof? Doesn't this private university's security department have cameras?
Bety may be plotting her own venganza..... She owes El Quickay de Quique big time.

Folks: Interesting bit of news re: PF, but please remember to mark that type of comment with O/T (off topic) as a courtesy to those of us who are not watching that one.

=/ : ? )
Thanks again, UA, for a terrific recap, divine commentary (and comedy) and super screen shots.
Quite an episode.
I have to say as a card-carrying sociologist (honest, that is what I teach) and product and employee of a public university, I had a good chuckle at Fernando's reaction to Fanny's career plans. I did want to suggest that if she wants to be a social worker rather than a sociologist, there are many fine career-oriented programs for social work in Mexico, but this is novelaland. I do love the idea of Fanny, one of my favorite characters and adorable in her short outfits and fancy necklaces, at the Autonomous University. Should make for some interesting episodes.
This turn of events and her relationship with Leon are, I believe, other clues that the Lascurain will be seeking a new line of work from a much more modest vantage point. All of that could well eat up the rest of the episodes if they play each nuance to the hilt.
I wonder if Isabela's baby WILL survive the the kids spill the beans to Fernando. That I would love to see. Hope I am not disappointed!

And Fanny is very resourcefull with her great colorful necklaces... the one with pinks, oranges and blue flowers she has used as both a necklace and as a belt a couple episodes later... someone here in the forum had commented they would like to buy it.
Marta - I noticed today that Fanny,Sr. was wearing a similar necklace in her scene, when she was talking about her foundation. I wonder who that actress is, by the way. I always enjoy her scenes.

Amazing recap Urban!
I hope someone finds Ana's broken guitar pieces in the trash. Just so that she knows what happened to it.
Really hope Betty is playing Reeky because otherwise she has absolutely no self esteem. She has seen him treat Leon terribly, knows there is something up with Fanny, and most importantly, he has treated her like trash.
I'm not sure if the kids really heard enough to lay blame on Isa for the baby. Just some words about her putting herself in danger, which could be shrugged off as just trying to grab Ana.
Jonny's scenes seem out of place at the moment. No connection to the overall story anymore.
I like the flashback scene with Fanny talking to her mom. I would like more of those, with the other kids too.
Fer is being way too trusting. He expects Reeky to be a professional even though he has basically fired him. And entrusted him with something so important as the Anniversary celebration, but I guess he wouldn't see a party as having much impact on overall company performance.

Fabulous screen shots, narrative, Aphrodite/Persephone, Zeus/Hermes conversations and summary. "She walked back toward the library and sarcastically gloated at her imaginary audience it was a shame they couldn't say anything" was my favorite of many great lines.
I am very enthusiastic about your vision regarding the restaurant in addition to the wealth of knowledge and expertise his family would provide.
I really wish Ana were not within striking distance (so to speak) of Isa when the pain began. Even the children's close presence might not be enough to keep Ana out of the fray.
Why isn't Leon running right to Fernando and telling him what Enrique did? I guess we must hope Fanny isn't as closemouthed.
Fantastic UA. I marvel at your creativity.

We all know this isn't about overall company performance; it's about Reeky's revenge. Linda of The Tight Bun is all about profits. The company is solvent, but it's not making the profits she wants to go into her own pocket. That's her problem with Fernando as far as we know, but I also wonder whether he has rejected her advances in the past.
People are expected to behave professionally in this situation because any information that they don't will definitely come back to bite them on the tuchas. However, sometimes it's better to risk the gossip than allow a company to be hurt by vindictive action (which Fernando isn't expecting).

Thanks to all the Olympians (including UA) for a fantastic recap. I love all the commentary.
SO frustrated with Fer. Here, Fer, let me write you a script:
"Enrique, you have crossed the line. You are beyond rude to your coworkers and you have sexually harassed at least one. So, you are leaving. I'm willing to let you say you resigned. Here is your severance check. Hand over your company ID and keys. The security guard and I will wait while you pack any personal belongings and walk you to your car."
Leon really, REALLY needs to tell Fanny and Fer what Enfrique is saying about getting Fanny by any means necessary. She is the one threatened. Fer has the means to try to protect her.
I predict that the baby will be fine, but that Isa will milk the scare for all it's worth in order to stay in the mansion and make everyone pamper her and convince them that they can't do anything to upset her.
Tired of Bruno's stupid secrets. Just tell Manuela and Ana what's going on.

Carvivle, couldn't agree with you more about Johny's scenes last night. Most of the time they are not worth the viewing effort, but that one last night was so random. And we care about the fact she is out of money why? Are we getting set up for Johny to do something stupid to help her? Or is she only wanting him for HIS money--boy she's in for a surprise.
You know, wouldn't it be fun to have Diego send off Ana's shots to a modeling agency, and she is the one who becomes famous and rolling in dough while Isa, Eeky and even Fer decline in fortune? What poetic justice that would be. Of course, since she is who she is, she would share with those she loves, but it would be a hoot to see her come out on top of the financial food chain.

Julia, I agree with that entire post.
I suspect Leon is thinking that he should "be a man" and handle this himself, which is why he hasn't told Fernando. He wants to protect Fanny himself and thereby show his worthiness. Understandable if impractical.
We still don't know who Leon's father is and I hope it doesn't end up being Enfreaky (back from when his mother was a servant in Enfreaky's house?). That's an injustice Leon doesn't deserve.
Of course, the problem with Ana becoming a famous model is twofold:
-- Credibility because she's over 30
-- Somebody will come out of the woodwork to reveal Ana's other job or non-Don Doroteo will blackmail her out of her new income to keep quiet about it.

Daisynjay, that would be fun if Ana became rich and famous. She is so funny and such a talented dancer I could see her having her own half hour variety show, even Jonny could do his 10 second joke sequence.
Marta, I believe Tomas is Fernando's attorney.
So, Edna is flat broke and comes to Juan for help, wha?
Even if Leon doesn't protect Fanny, his son was threatened last night. Don't just threaten to call the popo, do it.

I agree that I think Tight Bun must have been passed over by Fer at some point. Her vitriol is too emotional to be about just profits, she wants to ruin the man, just as much as Reeky it seems.
yes, Ana has that particular achilles heal... her 'secret' which Isa has threatened to find and Ana shows worry in her face which is not particularly throwing Isa out of her curiosity.
So yes, if Ana were to be discovered as a model.. first the age issue... then her secret 2nd job issue which might keep her out of the income. I would not doubt she would want to help the Lascurains... but she might not want the model career because of all she knows about 'the life out there' on a 'been there done that' type experience.

What if Reeky and Leon are half-brothers? Twenty-six years ago, Papa Lobo could have been a hale and hearty middle-aged man getting it on with the cook and then throwing her out. Or maybe getting his kicks against her will.
I skip Juanabe's scenes. He disgusts me. Ana is going to need an exorcist and many gallons of bleach for her house when she finally gets him out of it.

They'll never get Juan out of that house even with a can of axle grease and a shoe horn.
Hope he doesn't or hasn't impregnated either Edna or Dana.

1)What surprises me so much about this story is the lack of sibling rivalry among the Lascurain kids. Sebastian and Alicia are typical middle kids but don't seem to envy their older or younger sibs for anything.
The sibling rivalry is between Sebastian and Alicia, and Alicia towards Fanny.
Alicia is probably tired of being overlooked for Fanny and overshadowed by Sebastian. That's where the rivalry is.
The younger group of kids look up to the older group of kids and the older group of kids see themselves as the protectors of the younger group of kids.
The middle group of kids is where the rivalry problems are, and Sebastian & Alicia are the middle kids.

Daisynjay - I love your possible scenario about Ana's future modeling success!
Julia - Juanabe is a perfect name for him!
Tofie - Your one-liners made me laugh as usual:
*"Fernando - no, what I mean is I heard about the toga parties at that school"
*"Tomás - and you thought my prenuptial suggestion absurd"
*"Fanny - how do I tell him about this anarchy tattoo"
Speaking of prenup., do we know if Fer got one?
Also, re. Rip Van Halen's comment, did Jen or Ana ever tell anyone about the brujas leaving them stranded on the side of the road?
Rip Van Halen - Yes. Mocking Bruno's stuttering makes me shudder. I find it inappropriate to mock anyone's handicap.

I'm surprised Ana didn't at least tell Fanny that Isa left them stranded. I can see why she'd hesitate to tell Fer even though he should know every detail of his wife's horridness. She's think that complaining about Isa makes her look catty and like she's just trying to cause problems. But it seems like the sort of thing she'd be itching to tell someone. And Jen should certainly tell Nico.
Do we need any anti-fertility telenovela spells to keep Juantrackmind from reproducing? Even the fictional world doesn't need any of his sleaze spawn.

I hope that Jennifer tells Nick. She has no qualms about revealing such information. In fact, she should now that Fernando is her stepson.
The kids not all out fighting doesn't bother me because their mom died. I feel like that would bring them very close together. The sibling rivalry is starting to trickle through as the time distance from their mom's death grows.
I find it believable that the kids don't really fight, aside from Alicia's tiffs with Sebastian and Fanny.
For the most part, Fanny sees herself as an adult protector/leader of her siblings, and they look up to her in that way. Nando is Switzerland and has a peacemaker personality. Mostly he just isn't all that involved with the rest of them, so they have no problem with him.
The twins are occupied with their own fun and dealing with problems like Isa. They see their siblings as allies (except sometimes Alicia), not enemies.
And Luz is a sweetheart and everyone loves her. Plus she was so traumatized by their mother's death, they all seem to feel protective of her.
Plus, in this family, there are plenty of resources to go around. Lots of space/electronics/treats etc. They don't need to fight over stuff. Attentionwise, Luz gets the most from Fer and Ana, but the others are older and probably prefer a little more separation and independence.
Alicia and Sebastian are the only ones with anger issues. Even so, their clashes mostly relate to Isabully.

Just catching up on today's comments and am still amazed (and in agreement) with the number of comments regarding Johnny and his totally worthless, stupid role in this novela.
I haven't been able to learn anything about how this character is being received in Mexico, but I wish the producers would read our lips (index text finger) -- axe the guy already.

Victoria, I think you stated the wrong finger. This sexist pig and his perviness and boundary crossing that is apparently supposed to be funny? Read my middle finger, producer.
What's odd is that the show IS making a point of how Enrique's behavior toward Fanny is unacceptable. Juanabe's similar behavior gets a pass why? Is it supposed to be okay if he doesn't snarl and make threats during or after? Ugh.
The difference between Juanabe and Enfrique is that Juanabe isn't threatening anyone. Both Ana and Jennifer walked away from him without consequences; so could Dana and Edna.
Enfrique, on the other hand, is a sociopath. Someone should take all the knives out of his apartment.

Agree, from our perspective, because we know what Reeky is up to. But Fanny doesn't know about his threats yet, and she still thought he was a creep and treated him accordingly. Why didn't those actresses that Johnny was pawing similarly recoil at his behavior? They didn't know him at all and had no clue how far his creepiness went.
