TUESDAY 30TH JANUARY, 2018 ON TIMELESS LOVE (Cuando Me Enamoro)
EPISODE #69
Not All Storms End, Some Loves And At Least One Lover Are Still On The Rocks
REVIEW:
Chema and Cons plan by phone that they will meet to clarify a few things, Honorio comes in wanting to ask questions, He can’t sleep and not because his infidelity but because of his jealousy over Consta’s interest in another man. Go figure, hmmm?
Gonzo says it isn’t convenient for Balaaaaanca to stay until the end of the month and he has decided that she must go by the end of the month. She can’t believe they don’t Waaaant her for the rest of the month
Renata gets an earful about the valiant gestures by Jeronimo. Ezekiel has to tell Renata that the village all helped each other at the church and Jero was a true hero even though it is now too late for Renata to make up for ignoring the alarm bells and spending the night as Ms. RichBeach in Augie’s snug mansion. The crisis is now past.
Regina takes over Carlos' care and orders him to bed or she will strap him down. Matilde echos the command to cooperate or else. Jero has had a thump on the head and decides that Renata must have been telling the truth and he just can’t be without her. He doesn’t know why he didn’t believe her at first but now he needs to bath and go tell her.
Blanca calls Honorio a coward for letting Gonzo be the one to tell her that this is her last day. She can’t believe he didn’t defend her so she can stay. I can’t believe she is continuing with this loco line of thinking. She sure does a good ugly scowl.
Chema tells Consta that the photos of them greeting each other in the park were sent to Honorio by Roberta and Selene probably helped even though she denies all of it. Chema says he has no proof but is sure they did it to hurt her and Honorio and to pressure him.
The doctor tells Fina that Roberta glowers from the bed that Roberta is a bit better considering she lost so much blood. Fina menaces, “and the other (now would that would be DEAD BABY or ETERNAL STERILITY??). Let’s see, Doc picks the later and says she’s not sure yet. It’s not looking good however. Roberta, who by the way is looking so much more innocent without all the power-to-the-sluts makeup, (I’m just sayin’ here folks. Sorry, where was I) Roberta says it is all Fina’s fault that she may be sterile. Fina makes sure Roberta appreciates her genius that will deliver Roberta a rich husband and a life of luxury, only her, how about a little gratitude for super mom here, snotnose. . While Roberta acknowledges that she doesn’t want to forgo this pleasant future (lying out by the club pool, reapplying makeup, avoiding toil and thought) is so sad that she may never be able to be a mother. Fina who finally shows what great mothering is all about, says she is sorry. Roberta rejects her attempted maternal kiss.
Regina brings Carlos clean sheets (for bandages?) and they discuss that Jero has dashed off on a tear. Jero is indeed off on a tear and we see small parts of the river bank breaking off into the turbulent river while Renata and Augie drive and argue about having not helped the pueblo in the storm. (This has got to be some kind of foreshadowing of one of Renata’s future thought process). Renata tells Augie how the village now adores Jero for his kind offer of housing and help to all who were devastated by the storm. Claws gripping the steering wheel, Augie can’t believe she has any feelings for that rat Jero.
The big cars approach on opposite sides of the rivercreek and Jero tries to come down the river bank Augie is not going to stop the car but Renata insists. She get out. Jero screams that he loves her. As she listens to what he is screaming to her, they see a big waterfall, mudslide sweep Jero away. Augie’s only reaction is to keep Renata from rushing to Jero’s side. Renata tries to run down the slope to a quickly vanishing Jero but is stopped by Ezekiel and Augie both grabbing at her arms, idiots.
Dr. Drinkmuch surveys his swamp of an office with chagrin. He postures for nurse Elsa, We have to keep appointments and attend to the people. We’ll have to get a new clinic space. She says after last night there isn’t much of a practice. Jero and Regina were saving everyone so for his drunkenness the whole town will reject him. He argues in ever so slurred voice, what’s one night of a little drinking? It’s not only one night, further the rumor in town is that you operated on Rafael drunk and therefore he died. Elsa is ordered out. But, she says you can’t kick me out, I quit. He upturns the desk, flings papers and office supplies to further enhance the swamp decor. He sits down to drink a big swig from the bottomless hip flask.
At the hospital, Inez and Andrecito have cell phones to use as walky-talkies for a mother and child reunion through the observation glass sending kisses. Inez’ game face is much more cheerful now. Andrecito wants out he doesn’t want to be here, he is afraid. (maybe he smells Fina’s evil) Dad assures him he will be there but Adrecito repeats, no I want out of here. Mom says you have to stay here until the crisis is past. Don’t surrender and Dad repeats the family refrain, here no one surrenders. They look hopeful. I’m worried now.
Antonio with his bull face on is not looking so hopeful. He sits in his clothes but is still in his hospital room (what time is check out anyway) he and Doña Cata worry about having not heard from Regina after the storm. He worries that he sent her out of town to get her out of danger and yet has sent her into worse dangers perhaps. Doña Cata isn’t sure if the assassination threat is worse. Should we be worried that she calls him son all the time?
Back at the church, Kari has decided to look for room at the Alfonsina Inn and begs to be taken in while she figures out what to do. Dr. Drinky isn’t going to reform after all she concludes. Alfonsina worries about whether Augie will permit her to stay. Kari doesn’t want more rejection form Lazaro who is standing right next to them and seems to ignore the conversation. Alfonsina will ask Augie. She wants to be a better friend even though she hasn’t been a good one. In spite of everything she love her. Kari puzzles, in spite of what? Just as Kari probes for what Alfonsina means, a man arrives to announce that Jero has been swept away. End of confession hour at the church… Kari, Alfonsina, Lazaro and the Padre all surge out toward the missing Jero.
Augie and Ezek are busy holding Renata back, as they scream, she sees Jero, Augie is more concerned about controlling her (this isn’t a good precedent dude, trust me). Augie orders Ezek to go get a rope. Jero is on the rocks but above water. Augie just holds Renata back some more without even looking toward Jero much as he bobbles in the rushing water like a fishing lure.
Inez talks with the Doctor that Andrecito has to stay intent on his improvement and survival but is pressing to go home. The doctor agrees to examine him again. His improved determination is a good sign. And leaves Inez just as she sees Fina in the lobby looking for coffee. She casually asks a passing nurse, who is that woman, I know her but just can’t think of her name… The young nurse offers, she is Sra. Monterrubio. Oh yes, Inez has probably seen her in the society pages She then asks the nurse why is she here, is she sick, no her daughter lost a baby. Inez pumps for more but the nurse says excuse me I committed an indiscretion. Such a convenient one though, that Inez is so smooth suddenly.
Inez averts her face while Fina gathers her coffee and comes back into Roberta’s room saying everyone in the hospital has such tragic faces but not with a drop of kindness in her soul.
What are you telling Papa? Lets see, Fina dials Gonzo to surprise him with, Oh we are at a Spa so that our daughter can recuperate a little and will stay both stay here overnight to get spa treatments. It’s a package deal for brides with manicures, pedicures, and all. Gonzo says fine. He gives in to girly stuff with a shrug adding, spoil our dear daughter. Fina says sweetly, we will see you first thing tomorrow, all ready and precious for the big day. Spa special for brides, scoffs Roberta from her bed. Will papa swallow that we are in a spa for brides? Fina notes, better than him thinking you are recovering from a miscarriage in a hospital. He isn’t going to hear that.
Constanza shows up at the Monterubbio mansion to tell the maid to have Roberta call her immediately. The maid simply tells her that she isn’t home even though her car is, Roberta and Fina left the house really early.
The rescue continues with Lazaro rappelling down the bank while on the other side, Ezek comes finally with a rope. Lazaro reaches Jero first. While Kari, Alfonsina and the Padre help Augie hold Renata back. (Can you tell this annoys the snot out of me?) Renata yells, is Jero alive, is he alive? They all hurry along the bank and Lazaro swims to reach his master.
Blaanca packs spare sex toys or whatever while clueless Daniel tells her he is surprised that she is leaving early. She wants to stay to the end of the month but those Monterubbios are so volatile. He will miss her friendship and she says his friendship isn’t important, then catches herself saying now she will need his friendship more than ever and they will not lose contact because she needs him to agree to be her eyes and ears reporting EVERYTHING that goes on here. Still clueless, Daniel can’t understand why she would care what happens here after she goes. She offers him to become a prince with a huge bank account if he helps her. He loves Adriana and doesn’t want to trash the family of the woman he loves. She builds his confidence, telling him he better realize he will be an insignificant employee to Adriana so he’s better performing treachery with her. So he can at least be rich.
The rescue ensues, mouth to mouth and chest presses are applied by Renata and Lazaro so Jero finally spits water much to everyone’s relief (except Augie me thinks).
Madrina and Matilde talk in the kitchen. Madrina is hopeful there won’t be any more dead people. Matilde says yeah, but they were so close to sending poor Carlos to the other world. Madrina pumps her to admit that she is happy Carlos survived and she really loves him. Carlos listens in the door way so Madrina and Carlos signal and wink while Madrina does her magic, prompting Matilde to admit that what she felt for Jero was just admiration. She asks what she feels for Carlos she is stlll afraid of the curse on her and she doesn’t want anyth to happen to HER Carlos. She will love him forever but she can’t risk having him die from her bad karma.
They river crew argue over Jero’s slumped but breathing body that they should go to a hospital but that is too far, Augie suggest his place, and Lazaros says no way, but Regina is at the Bonita and will know how to care for him. Renata is surprise Regina is there.
Matias and Gonzo go another round about no news from Baja Napa and why Jero can’t come to the wedding. Gonzo says what is it, for once tell me what you have against Jero. Constanza come in at that moment and tells Matias it is time to spill the beans to Gonzo about why he is really mad at Jero. And why he is marrying Roberta.
Adriana writes an e-mail to Renata that she is worried so Renata is to write her or call as soon as she can. Daniel comes to the door. Adriana thinks he wants to discuss accounts but no he says this is about you and me.
Gonzo is bouncing off the walls, This is inconceivable, It can’t be! that Jero is papa to Roberta’s baby. You mean he did this with his wife’s own sister? Matias says I only want to protect Renata . Constanza chimes in that Matias has been more noble than Gonzo can imagine. Matias says he agreed with Roberta no one is to know, but Consta adds that Matias has prepared the prenuptial agreement is that no one will know and the arrangement is only for one year. (No one knows what Fina has done. The clock is ticking.) Gonzo can’t believe his so misjudged Jero and Matias rubs in a bit that he agreed not to interfere per Gonzos demands. When Matias leaves, Gonz wants to know what else Consta came for and she hesitates then says to hear about Regina. Gonzo has no news.
Daniele can’t believe that Adriana has no interest in him after all Matias is going to marry Roberta tomorrow. Clueless Daniel acts on the corollary to the Blanca argument that now Adriana is so big and important she has no interest him. Adriana reminds him ever so gently that she knows what it is to love someone and not have them love you back in the same way. She never intended anything romantic. But didn’t you love me? Only as friends. The fumes of treachery waft in the hallway. He leaves in a self inflicted huff.
Jero and his resucuers arrive noisily at La Bonita. Regina takes command telling Renata to get his clothes off and get his body warm while she goes to look for antibiotics. Fueling the “too many antibiotics argument here in telenovela land and lets review the mouth-to-mouth resusitation guidelines? Okay let’s not). Renata dutifully takes his clothes then takes off her own adds a terry robe then jumps into bed to warm his half drowned body the old fashioned way. She kisses his partial consciousness and he vows his love to Renata. They kiss with passion and foggy sweetness. Whew, we all needed that. Now on with la Guerra..

Chema tells Consta that the photos of them greeting each other in the park were sent to Honorio by Roberta and Selene probably helped even though she denies all of it. Chema says he has no proof but is sure they did it to hurt her and Honorio and to pressure him.

we review the Jero’s coming to find Renata to forgive her, and Renata throws a fit to find out from Regina that Jero originally married her for vengeance She asks who poisoned Jero with lies about me? Regina takes the bull by the horns and says it was your MOTHER.
