La Malquerida, capitulo 79.

Skipping the old....

Cris tells Rosa that Esteban wants kids and she can't give it to him. So she has decided to let him go and see if he comes back.

Acacia pulls away from Esteban's arms and starts to have regrets. Esteban, while groping her, says they have to live their love otherwise they will regret it. We can either go our separate ways or enjoy this love together. She admits she's afraid. He tells her not to think of anything else but living their love. She wants to leave but he stops her. He tells her to think it over. Do you realize what you awaken in me? They start playing tonsil hockey.

Katia tells Hector and Ulises that she found an account that belonged to Nuria but under another name. Ulises excitedly says it should contain all the money Nuria stole. He grabs the file and tries to look at the information but Hector stops him. This will take time to investigate. Allow me to do this. Ulises offers his help. Hector looks at the file and smiles.

Acacia gets a phone call but doesn't know who it's from. Esteban grabs her again and she caresses his back.

Ale leaves Acacia a message. She's worried about her.

Acacia tries to leave but Esteban pulls her back into his arms. I love you he says and kisses her. She finally breaks free and leaves the room. Juliana catches her and asks Acacia what she's doing here. Suddenly Esteban walks out of the room.

German aka big sexy says things are getting worse at the Benevente. Manuel wonders if anything else is going on? German says there is enough problems and suggests he call Acacia. She left in a bad mood this morning. I would but she's upset with me for drinking replies Manuel. And why would you do that asks big sexy. My mother returned to the house says Manuel. I don't know what's going to happen now.

Juliana takes a look at Esteban and Acacia then takes a quick peek into the room, checking out the bed. Esteban tells her that Acacia came for some things regarding the hacienda. Haven’t you returned with Cris asks Juliana. Esteban informs her that they have separated again. No wonder my co-madre is so depressed says Juliana. He says it's not due to him and tells her not to seek out Cris or bother her at this time. You have done enough damage. Juliana tries to defend herself but he doesn't want to hear it. He grabs Acacia's arm and they leave.

Luisa calls the abortion clinic and asks for an appointment. Rosa comes in and asks who she will be seeing. A doctor replies Luisa. I have made the appointment you have asked. She got a recommendation from Ale since she feels to uncomfortable with German's father giving her an exam. Rosa understands and says she will accompany her. She doesn't like Luisa being out alone so late.

Esteban and Acacia are walking down the street and she tells him that she can't go on with this relationship. This is wrong (she wasn't thinking this while playing tonsil hockey with step-daddy) and everyone knows them in town. Can you image what would happen.....but he says it doesn't matter what others think. My marriage is over and we feel the same for each other. Don't be afraid. I will be with you. What we feel is more stronger then anything. He kisses her cheek and they hug. She doesn't know if she is doing the right thing (really?). He again says they love each other. Real love makes you tremble and feel alive. That's why you know this is real. I can no longer live without you. He pulls her in for a kiss. He has to go to the association but will not stop thinking of her. He asks if she will be thinking of him also. She smiles and says of course. He wants her to promise to come back tonight to see him. They have a lot to talk about and that way no one will see them. He kisses her good-bye. Acacia looks around as he leaves.

Ulises pays a visit to the brothel looking for Perla. She walks by the front door and sees it's Ulises. What are you doing here she asks. I brought you some good news replies Ulises. The police have found the account where Nuria kept the stolen money. I am here to ask if you want it back or if you still want the store location. This brings a smile to Perla's face. Ulises admits that he can't give her the location she thought she was buying. Perla understands. That woman is a monster. She tells him to wait while she gets her phone to call Danilo and tell him the great news. Ale walks into the foyer and sees Ulises at the door. She runs up to him and gives him a hug. She is happy to see him and is glad he came to pay her a visit. So you also live here asks Ulises. Ale is confused. She thought he already knew that. Ulises says he's here for Perla. He doesn’t understand how she can accept living under the same roof as Perla.

Luisa is on the phone with Arturo and informs him of her appointment. After hanging up, Rosa walks in all smiles. She's ready to accompany Luisa to the doctor. Luisa says the doctor's office just called and canceled. They will call next week to let me know. Rosa is disappointed but urges her to get a new one for next week. There is a reason things happen. Perhaps I should make Cris something tempting for her to eat. I see her so bad. It's a shame she lost her baby and how her life has changed. Luisa tells Rosa to calm down and she will go into town and bring back some cheeses that might tempt Cris. Rosa tells Luisa to go with god and she gives her grandmother a blessing.

Ulises apologizes for being so direct. He just doesn't understand. You are not the only one replies Ale. But what is more important is seeing you again. I'm glad to see you are now free and resuming the project. He's happy to see her. He always saw her a friend and hope to continue doing so. Of course agrees Ale. Perhaps they can talk later when things are calmer. Ulises says he will return since Perla will need to sign more papers. She says she feels bad with everything that happened with Acacia. Ulises says he doesn't want to talk about it. He just wants to work and move on with his life. Perla runs excitedly and sees Ale. What are you doing here she asks. Ale quickly tells Ulises it was nice seeing him and runs in the house. Ulises has confused look on his face. Perla asks what they were talking about. Ulises says they know each other from way back through Acacia. But that is in the past. Anyway, what did Danilo tell you? That he's on his way replies Perla. Ulises declines her offer to wait for him. He has to visit the other investors but suggests she call him when she gets an answer from Danilo. Perla agrees and says she's glad to see he is out of jail.

Hector comes to pay Cris a visit. He greets German and Acacia. Elenita takes him to see Cris. German notices Acacia's long face and asks if everything is okay. I just hope Hector can get a reaction out of mom replies Acacia. German hopes Hector will take Cris out of her depression so that she can go and seek out Esteban. Acacia has a guilty look on her face.

Cris is alone in her room when Elenita followed by Hector walk in. Cris asks if they don't understand that she doesn't want to talk to anyone. Hector says she has to listen to him.

Luisa walks into the abortion clinic. She tells the nurse she has an appointment.

Cris tells him to leave. He tells her to calm down and talk like the friends they are. He tells Elenita to leave them alone. Cris turns her back to Hector and he comes up behind her asking why she doesn't want to talk to him. I have no interest in doing so replies Cris. I want everyone to leave me alone. I know you feel bad says Hector but Cris stops him. You have no idea what it feels like. I feel empty. Perhaps I have not lived it the way you have but I understand the feeling. This pain is blinding you. Don't you realize that there are people who need you. Cris doesn't agree. Esteban left the house and Acacia is on his side. Because you are pushing them away replies Hector. You have lost a child but they are losing you. Your daughter still needs you and Esteban....if you love him try and make an effort to recoup the man that has made you happy all these years. The only thing I want is my baby says Cris. I don't understand why I lost that baby and is not here with me. She yells for him to leave.

Luisa tells the doctor she doesn't want to listen to anything she has to say. She just has to do this now. The doctor wants her to make a conscious decision on what she wants to do. There are other options you need to look into. Like adoption? Luisa says she has no other choice.

Perla excitedly tells Memo about her store. Memo congratulates her. She needs the money since she has stopped taking clients. Memo promises to work hard and help her out so they can leave all this behind them. Perla reminds him that it can't happen. Memo disagrees. They will have everything that they have dreamed of. They kiss.

Elenita apologizes for the way Cris spoke to Hector. He wishes he could do more. They walk into the living room and Acacia is waiting for news. Elenita admits that she and JC don't know what else to do. Hector doesn't understand why he thought he could help. If her own husband couldn't do it.....Acacia angrily says she doesn't understand her mother. Hector tells her to have patience. For now, nothing can be done. He tells them to take care of her and leaves. Acacia can't believes her mother treated Hector badly. If anything happens, it's all on her. She leaves a confused Elenita.

Esteban is in his room waiting for Acacia. He paces the room and decides to call her. We see he has a spread ready for her. She's in the lobby of the hotel and gets a text. It's Esteban saying he's waiting for her.

Luisa goes to Arturo's home and falls into his arms. He asks her what happened. I just came from the clinic says Luisa. I couldn't do it. No matter what happens, I will have my son.

Knock on the door and Esteban opens it to find Rubio. He walks in and congratulates him on finding what he wanted. The takes a grape and eats it. Esteban gives him the stink eye.

Arturo is happy on her news and promises to help her out. Luisa appreciates his support but she has to move ahead on her own. It's time she thought of herself and her baby. He understands but doesn't want her to leave El Soto. If you do, it will kill your grandmother. It will kill her knowing I failed replies Luisa. He doesn’t' agree. Don;t you think she will love a baby that;s yours? You don't know her says Luisa. She will have me run off the hacienda. She has to go but he stops her. He will take her home.

Esteban grabs Rubio by the collar and says he's running the dinner he planned.

Acacia is in the hallway and can't make herself open the door to Esteban's room. Inside Esteban says Acacia is on her way to talk with him about her mother. Rubio says JC sent him. Acacia has gone missing, Cris is still the same and the cows are all sick.

Rosa informs Cris that JC sent Rubio to bring back Esteban. They need help with the sick cows. When he comes talk to him. Cris says she will not leave her room. I can't see him. If I have him close, I will not be able to resist. I will beg him to return and I cannot do that. If he returns, it's because he loves me.

Rubio explains the cows conditions. Esteban believes it's possible fever. If it's not contained, all the other animals can become sick. The vet will not be there until tomorrow. He tells Rubio to go and he will be at the hacienda shortly. Rubio leaves and Esteban makes a call.

JC tells German that Rubio has gone to retrieve Esteban and would appreciate it if he came by.

Hector walks into the living room with Elenita and JC is not happy to see him. Elenita admits she called him to come over. She is worried about their daughter. She didn't even react when she found out the cows were sick. Hector tells JC to allow him to try. They can't have her getting worse.

Acacia is in the hotel lobby and gets a call from Esteban. She ignores it. He gets her voice mail and he says he was waiting for her but changes his mind. Instead he says he found out the cows are sick and count on him to help her. He will see her later.

Hector enters Cris's room. You again asks Cris. I will come visit you for as long as it takes. You are wasting your time replies Cris. Hector doesn't agree. He will never give up on her and if needed, pull her out of the room by force so she will react. She can't keep living like this. Cris asks him to help her. She cries in his arms.

Danilo is playing with tarot cards and Perla is talking excitedly about the store. She has decided to call it “The Beautiful Pearl”. Danilo says it's not going to happen. He has to stay far away from Ulises. It says it in the cards. Perla reminds him that the investigation is over. It's better to keep him close but Danilo doesn't agree. He tells her to forget about the location and her business. She thinks he's kidding but finally realizes he's serious.

Hector tells Cris to get on with her life for her and her daughter. Not for Esteban. He has left. It doesn't matter replies Cris. I have already decided to let him go since I cannot give him a child. He asks if love is not a sacrifice? I would be the first to advise you to leave Esteban if you no longer love him. But you do and you have to fight for him. He brought her a photo album filled with pictures of them at the university. She says she can't but he begs her too. I want you to remember the young woman who was brave and strong. Who wanted all her pictures to be displayed in New York, Paris and Australia. Cris says he is wasting his time. That woman no longer exists. Hector disagrees. Only a woman with such passion running through her veins can reclaim her life again. Cris doesn’t agree. She doesn't have the strength to start over. She feels empty. Hector believes she can overcome this. Take this time alone to find yourself. I ask that afterward you think everything over. Why asks Cris. So you can get better and I get close once again to you. I want to protect you. Be the woman that you truly are. If you don’t' want Esteban back again, allow me to be more of a friend to you.

Perla with tears in her eyes reminds Danilo that he promised to set up a business for her. Danilo again tells her no. She recalls him telling her she's too old to be working at the brothel and can't be the administrator anymore. She doesn't want to end up alone with no money. Danilo says he told her he would care for her. Perla whines and cries. Danilo ignores her and plays with his phone. Perla calls him a liar. You were lying to me this whole time. He tells her to calm down but she keeps at it. He finally yells at her to shut up. He leaves and Ale walks in and asks what he did to her?


Hector comes out of the room and tells Elenita and JC that Cris finally reacted. Elenita thanks him for his help. JC also thanks him for worrying over Cris's emotional welfare. He apologizes for what happened in the past. Hector says there's no reason. Cris is his daughter and he was just watching out for her. I admit I love her but don't want to cause any more problems like before. Elenita says they know he only has good intentions with their daughter. Hector says he will come everyday if need be, to make sure she has decided to resume her life. JC warns Hector for having any hope of being with Cris. Hector understands that Cris loves Esteban but that doesn't mean he won't help her get better. That is all that is important.

Ale tells Perla that she will try and convince Danilo to set up the store. Perla reminds her that she doesn't want to owe her favors. Ale says all these years suffering because of Danilo and you are still blinded. I am not your enemy and you owe me nothing. Perla thinks Ale has ulterior motives and it isn't going to work. I am the one that was there when you escaped. I had to deal with it all. It's always me. She walks away crying.

Acacia comes running into the house. JC wonders where the heck she has been all night. Elenita has been calling. Acacia apologizes but she had her phone in her purse and didn't hear it. JC says they have been worried. There is a problem here. I know that the cows are sick replies Acacia. How do you know asks JC. We just told Esteban about it.

Esteban yells at Rubio. He notices the some cows are still well and others are definitely sick. The cows need to be kept in separate locations for at least a week. Rubio says it's too late to do anything about it tonight. Esteban says he ran into German. He will lend us some workers so they can help you.

Acacia says she got a call from Esteban telling her about the cows. Where were you asks JC. Acacia admits she was in El Soto. He asks her why she's so nervous. Because I feel awful that you were worried about me and with everything going on with the cows replies Acacia. He tells her that Esteban is with Rubio looking at the situation. Acacia says she has to check to see if they need any help and runs out.

German tells Norberto things are dicey at the Beneviente and asks if he can get some workers from the finca to help out. Norberto agrees. Manuel decides to go over and see if Acacia needs anything. German thinks it's a better idea if Manuel joins the workers and check their cows. Then later on you can go to the hacienda. He leaves and Norberto advises Manuel to watch everything that German does. He doesn't want to look like a fool in front of Acacia. Also find out from Luisa when she plans to abort the child.

Acacia walks up to Esteban and asks him how bad the situation is? He says they will wait and see what the vet says. He believes they can save most of them although about half of the cows are infected. She feels bad that the cows are sick. He tells her that they could suffer economically if the cows die but promises to help her. He changes the subject and says he was waiting for her. Why didn't you come? Because there was no reason to replies Acacia. That doesn't matter now that the hacienda is having problems. That is why I am here replies Esteban. To help you. I want you to know you can always count on me. Acacia says it can't happen. He is no longer at the hacienda and found out from Ale that he has a business going with Danilo. It's best he deals with his new business and stays away from her. Esteban says he can't. I can't live without you. I know you want to be with me. He kisses her and she puts a stop to it. She reminds him they are at the hacienda. He says he doesn't care about anyone or anything. Just you. He kisses her again and she kisses him back.

Juliana spots German and goes to greet him. He refuses her hug and says he can't believe she returned with Norberto. She believes even after everything that happened, they can try and make their relationship work. German doesn't believe her. You are doing it for the money since you don't have any. You are just like Ale. Juliana slaps him. How dare you compare me to that woman? German points out that she knows it's the truth.

Acacia finally pulls herself out of Esteban's arms and tells him to quit acting crazy. Crazy over you says Esteban. Acacia says this can't happen again. You have no idea how bad I felt when my grandparents where asking me where I was. But nothing happened replies Esteban. Calm down. He kisses her again. She sees Rubio and pushes out of his arms. She pretends they were talking about the cows. He plays along then gets a phone call. Danilo calls asking where he's at. They were suppose to meet up to talk business. He admits he forgot and explains there's a crisis at the hacienda. He promises to see him in the morning. Danilo tells him not to bother. It appears you don’t' care about this new business. Esteban says it was an emergency but promises to see him tomorrow. Danilo is concerned if there business will succeed with him occupied elsewhere. Esteban hangs up and Acacia asks if everything is okay. Is the going to have problems? He says the most important thing right now is to help her. Rubio keeps looking at them.

Luisa holds her stomach and asks the baby to forgive her for even thinking of getting rid of him. You are not at fault for all my mistakes. Or the bad father I choose for you. I will find a way and be the best mother.

Esteban tells Acacia she can always count on him. Acacia doesn't agree. My mother....suddenly Cris says she's hear to ensure everything is saved. She thanks Esteban for coming but he is no longer needed. She calls Rubio over and says he will now take the place that Esteban once held.


Manana: Acacia and Cris get into it about Esteban.

Comments:
Thank you so much for this most excellent recap, Gloria! I'm so glad you put it up early - my captions bailed on me for the last part and I wanted to know every detail. Which you provided, and splendidly.

Did they say ultimas semanas??? How can that be? This seems just halfway through. Did I mis-hear?
 

It is getting really good!.. Wow how can Acacia betray her mother that way.. Uggh!!
 

Wow, Gloria. Thank you for that wonderful, detailed recap. I only saw the first few minutes if this episode, but I hope to watch the rest later today.

I am glad that Hector was able to get through to Cris s little.

Perla might now help Ale bring down creepy Dan.

Estegone is now between the devil and the deep blue sea with Damnilo and Ack. I do not think he will survive. He rocked the comfy, safe boat he was in, and now he will sink.
 

Memo to Acacia: God don't like ugly !
 

Excellent, Gloria!

This episode seemed to be setting up a few things. Perla is becoming even more disillusioned with Dan. Uli has visited the brothel, made contact with Ale, and seems suspicious about what's going on. I hope he goes back again soon.

Yay! Cris has emerged thanks to Hector being able to hit a nerve and reminding her of the strong woman she was and is. Go on back to your no tell motel, Este, and take Acacia with you. Have fun playing her junior high game of will she, won't she.

Funniest moment- Juli sticking her head I the hotel room to check out the bed. I think since everything looked in order they're safe. Good thing the make out session didn't get more intense. Can't believe they were kissing in the street and in the cow pen. It's like they want to get caught.
 

The last few episodes Acacia has been using Cris' depression as a reason to be angry at her and justify her betrayal. Now that Cris has emerged and is taking care of business, what excuse is she going to use?
 

Welcome Maggie and Erika! Haven't seen you join our discussion here before. Please comment more often!
 

Thank you Gloria.

Wow, Rubio is licking his chops now

The scene with Danny & Perla, as he laid tarot cards down, and her realization he wanted the money back and her plans, dashed, was awesome.

Loved when Juli looked into Esteban's room to see the bed.

For someone that says she don't want to, Acacia sure goes back in after a little breather.

I know Cris is in pain but don't understand her dismissing Esteban as if he is a hired hand, illogical.

Here is the shot Hector has been hoping for, he allowed to be there everyday and Esteban forbidden. Just what Acacia needs to go over the edge.

 

Maggie- Yes. They said ultimas semanas.
 

Tofie- Cris said that she doesn't want Este there to help with the cows 1) because her resolve to set him free would weaken if she saw if every day, and 2) if he comes back to her, she wants it to be because he genuinely loves her and wants to be with her- not to help her out. Is it right to do this? Maybe not. But it does have a certain logic. It's like when she didn't want him to come back when he left just because she was pregnant. She wanted him to make the choice that he really wanted to be with her. And she was right! Had Acacia kept her mouth shut about the baby, Cris and Este would have been well on the road to divorce. The deadline where Cris was about to close the door for good was almost up when Acacia spilled the beans, and Este came back pretending he still loves Cris.
 

Agree with what you say Vivi, however this is the second time Cris has pulled this on Esteban. I know he is so not worthy but to continually test the guy after all this time and saying she is letting him go because she cannot give him a child, doesn't make sense to me. She's suggesting he is dismissed to find a younger woman to have a family with because she loves him so much.
 

No kidding, Rubi kept licking his kips every scene he was in.
 

What an excellent recap Gloria. I love how you always have your finger on the pulse of all the action and relate the events with such sparkling clarity. "She doesn't know if she is doing the right thing (really?)" captured my frustration perfectly.

I was so happy Hector persisted in his caring way to break Cris' wall down and let her sob in his arms. It is clear he wants Cris to be happy and if it is with Esteban, then so be it.

Esteban abandoned Cris when she needed him most. Berefit at the loss of her child, he left with only his hurt and his purpose in mind. I am thrilled she told him to leave. Adios Esteban. Take your little traitorous girlfriend with you. You will not be missed.

Susanlynn, I think this might be a turning point for Perla. Now that any chance she will be able to leave with some security to start a life with Memo seems to have been dashed.

Vivi and tofie, I also loved Juli checking out the hotel room. I don't think she expected to see anything but nosiness got the best of her.

I kept waiting for Rubio to overhear or come in and hear Luisa's secret. When he finds out she is pregnant, I suspect Manuel is in grave danger (assuming he doesn't make the fatal mistake of thinking the child is Arturo's...

Agree that Uli was having difficulty processing Perla and Ale at the same house. Let's hope he brings that to Hector's attention.

I am so sad that we are in ultimas semanas. While I want things to be resolved (happily for most), it will be hard to let this go.

Gloria, thank you, thank you!

Diana
 

Thanks, Gloria. Terrific recap.

Can't believe we are in ultimas semanas so soon. LM hasn't dragged in the storytelling at all.

I too thought Cris was harsh dismissing Esteban like a hired hand. But she's trying to be strong and not cling to him so he can get with a babymaker.

Whether Cris is fair with Este or not, it's none of Acacia's business. Acacia is always blaming somebody else for crap she does. Boohoo, I wouldn't have kissed Este that first time if Uli hadn't gotten himself kidnapped! Wah, I wouldn't be hanging outside Este's room to boink him, if my mama treated him right!

I think the real Acacia is coming out -- the one that resents her mother. There's no excuse for her lack of sympathy for Cris's depression. I see JC and Elenita notice her callousness, but they aren't saying anything.

Interesting that Juliana peeked at Este's bed. In real life, you can't hide the kind of sexual vibe wafting between Este and Acacia. Wondering who will be the first (besides Rubio) to catch these two fools kissing.
 

Niecie "Wondering who will be the first (besides Rubio) to catch these two fools kissing".

I know! When they were kissing on the street, I kept waiting/hoping someone - Hector, German, anyone would see them!

Sigh...

Diana
 

Gloria I still have not had a chance to watch this episode, but reading your excellent and detailed recap makes me feel as though I watched every scene.

Nosy Juliana taking a look inside the hotel room was so cheeky and so Juliana...a very clever touch. You never know who might be around when you are fooling around. Hub once ran into a friend"s wife while she was out with another guy. I don't think that Ack is ever going to go beyond smooching Este and giving him her signature warm Olaf hugs. She is probably going to repent and end up with a prize..Uli. That burns me up. She does not deserve any parting gifts.
I knew that Hector would remind Cris of the woman she was before crossing paths with that psychopath Este. Heaven help them all when they find out Este murdered Alonso. Este is not just a cheater; he is a killer. Both he and Damnilo are perfectly willing to kill anyone who gets in their way.
Rubio is bound to find out about Luisa's pregnancy. He finds out everyone's secrets.
 

Isn't it ironic that child Ack actually had the correct instinct to dislike and distance herself from Este even he first wanted to marry her mother. Could it have been intuition that pushed her away from him after he killed her beloved dad? This thought just popped into my mind. They say that you should trust your intuition more than people do.
 

Rubio just may start whacking folks with that machete. I noticed he had his hand on it while talking to Esteban in the hotel room. He wants two things, same as Esteban, the woman he desires and to be the boss at the hacienda. Does Rubio go after Manuel or Arturo?

Esteban should get a clue about his new business relationship with Danny but he won't. Danny will rip him a new one.

I laughed when Elenita escorted Hector in again and hadn't told JC and the look on his face.

German now has pity on Norberto for dealing with his nutty mama, so funny.
 

Tofie- That was my other LOL moment. The look on JC's face, and the nervous look on Hector's face when he saw JC's face. It's clear that in JC's eyes, Hector never stopped being that teenage boy hanging around and crushing on his teen daughter, and JC never stopped being the strict dad that Hector had to get around to see his teen sweetheart.
 

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Elenita preferred Hector over Alonso?

I'm not sure about JC but you are right, that scowl wasn't and isn't very encouraging!

Diana
 

tofie, I noticed Rubio's machete clutching also. The second time he has clenched it in as many days.

His subservient fuse is growing short.

Diana
 

Diana- Yes. Elena preferred Hector over Alonso.
 

"Then takes a quick peek into the room, checking out the bed." BUT REALLY, JULIANA?! Hahahah, perdón! But I laughed so hard at this moment, hahahaha! She's so dramatic and just love her face!
Excellent recap, Gloria. Thank you so much!
 

It hurt me to hear German compare Juli to Ale. Grrr....When he learns the truth, he will regret all this stuff he's been saying about Ale.

As for German now having a seemingly better relationship with Norberto than with Juli-- I think he appreciates that at least with Norberto, what you see is what you get. Now that German understands why Norb treated him differently when growing up, he seems to get Norb even more (even though he no longer calls him papa). Norb, on the other hand, now seems to have a greater respect and admiration for German. I noticed how he put down Manuel's knowledge of farm-work/animals by telling him basically to shut up and learn from German, and not to embarrass them with his ignorance.

But with Juli, you can never trust that she means what she says or even what she does. It's all artifice and lies with her. It's driving her sons away, and she just doesn't get it.
 

Juliana akways puts herself at the head of the list...way ahead of anyone else including her sons. I think that both Manuel and German realize this. Oddly, Norb was doingGerman a favor all those years when he was expecting him to help out on the hacienda while allowing Manuel to laze and graze around the house. I grew up with farm boys who had to work at farm chores very early in life . They usually grow up to be pretty responsible and hardworking men. Hub did not grow up on a farm. But his dad got him a job every summer when he was a teen. It made him mature, responsible , and reliable.
 

Susanlynn- Not only was German helping out, he was actually in charge of the hacienda, AND did all the work Norb was supposed to do at the Association. I'm surprised Norb isn't begging him to come back every day.
 

The real Acacia is coming out for sure Niecie: spoiled, ungrateful rich brat just like Aranza of PSMA!
 

Vivi...German is probably responsible for keeping that hacienda afloat with his brother and father betting on cockfights and visiting bordella said instead of working. It is the old story of the hardworking ant supporting the lazy grasshoppers. German grew up in a nest of takers and layabouts.
 

Last night's first observations.

I watched closely the Acacia, Esteban rendezvous. It was clear that Acacia initiated, dove in for the first kiss. After that it was Estebone all the way. Actually, it's hard to blame him at that point. I mean, how many men could resist the advances of a beautiful young goddess? Estebone went into full attack, seduction mode but Acacia then seemed to have second thoughts and backed off somewhat. She seemed to be saying, I need to think about this a little.

Juan Carlos did not look happy with Hector's visit to Cris.

Luisa was at a near breakdown but after talking to Arturo, she did seem a lot better.

Well, that the way I saw it last night. Now on to the great (I know it will be great) recap to find out if my observation's were
correct or not.
the gringo
 

Vivi – You are always so warm and welcoming! I haven’t popped by nearly as often as I‘d like. This is a fascinating novela and all the recaps and comments I’ve seen are wonderful. But I have popped by! In fact, you’re the one who so kindly responded early on when I was wondering which character was the title Malquerida.

I’m astonished that we’re in ultimas semanas, as some time ago I was looking at Wikipedia to find out the name of one of the actors, and, though I scroll fast past the “Plot” section so I won’t read it, a line caught my eye. It’s a completely unexpected plot development and was a big spoiler. I can’t imagine how we can get from where we are now to that plot development in just a few weeks.
 

Kissing on the street was a bold move. Wow. Then the barn, reckless. Anyhoo, Julianna should not have thought anything was going on with them IF she was a moral, normal human being but she is not. She thinks everyone is like her immoral. Acacia was with her stepfather why would you think anything sexual was going on? Call me naive but that is not the first thing that would come to my mind.

Rubio wants to be head of the hacienda, but he can’t even figure out on his own to separate out sick cows – and then when he’s told to do that, he wants to put it off until tomorrow???? At least Esteban in his good-boy days actually knew how to run the place.
 

Thanks for the recap!

Acacia is playing with fire. Technically so is Esteban but being alone with your stepfather in his hotel room is risky. Funny how Juliana peeked in Este's hotel room and immediately looked at the bed. She knows something is up. And kissing in public was an even greater risk. At least for a moment Acacia had some common sense and tried to stop it from happening.

I agree with what you all are saying about Germán and Norbie. It's interesting how it seems that Norbie acknowledges that he raised someone else's son to be a good man yet he didn't do that with his own biological son. I wonder why he did that. Could he actually regret having a child with Juli? If he does, it's not Manuel's fault. Even though Germán is not Norbie's bio son, he seems to actually have a lot of the good qualities of Norbie in him. The thing about Norbie is that I really don't think he's as bad as Este and Dan. He's not a murderer nor has he sexually abused a woman. He doesn't necessarily have full respect for his wife but she brought that upon herself. Norbie seems to be a hard worker and Germán got that from both him and Andres.

Rubio is an entertaining character. I liked how when he went to see Este he immediately knew what was going on and was teasing and provoking Este. It'll be interesting to see him in this new position Cris has given him at the hacienda, but she needs to keep a good eye out and hopefully Germán will pitch in as well.

 

Thank you so much Gloria. GREAT as
I knew it would be.
Tonsil hockey? LOL I have herd of the tongue tango but not tonsil hockey. That's a good one.

New people joining in, that's great.

I agree with Susanlynn. Este rocked the safe boat that he was in. His new boat doesn't look safe at all, it's going down.

Rubio is top dog now, it's what he's been wanting for so long. How long will top billing on the ranch last? Like Maggie said---Some of the cows are sick. Ok, let me get some sleep tonight and I will look at the situation tomorrow. QUE?

Ulises has to be suspicious seeing
Perla and Ale together. Where will
that lead?

Now lets see---Rubio loves Luisa although she doesn't love him. However Luisa is now pregnant at Manuel's doing. Scenario---Rubio
is filled with rage and has a machete. Manuel has a bad arm. What are the possibilities?

The chain is starting to break?
Perla had a rough life out on the streets. Dan took her in and used her to satisfy men's desires. Did Perla like that? Probably not but she knew nothing else. For several years, she endured beatings and abuse whenever DanEvil wanted to dish it out, but she hung on. Now she is starting to age some and is not as useful to Dan as she once had been. Solution---With Dan's financial help, open your very own business. But wait---that dream, that promise made by Dan to help has now been canceled. Will Perla in bitterness and anger turn on Danilo? My guess is yes. Not only does it look like Esteban's boat has sprung a leak, it appears that Dan's may have also.

Wikipedia says that La Malquerida has 116 episodes.

Tonight it looks like darling Acacia has it out with mother Cris
Must see TV.

heard---not herd. Sorry.

This episode was Mexico episode 85 of 116 (with the final cap being 2 hours long). That leaves us with 32 more hours of show to go, or 6 weeks plus 2 hours. Six weeks exactly gets us to Friday, January 23rd. The question is, does Uni really mean 6 weeks? Or are they going to condense a few episodes to get us to 4-5 weeks? And if they mean 6 weeks, will they condense a tiny bit so that we make up for the two hours somewhere and end on a one hour finale on Friday the 23rd?
 

And of course with the holidays coming up and preemptions a few nights during Christmas and New Years, we could get a seventh week and wrap up the last week of January. I saw the ad for the upcoming tn last night, but of course Uni didn't mention an actual start date. Just that it's coming soon.
 

The new tn, Que Te Perdone Dios, is listed on Uni's Wikipedia page as starting January 19th, which does not mean good things for our show's chances of not being hacked and edited in its last weeks.

Que Te Perdone Dios is produced by Uni, not Televisa (although it's filled with Televisa stars), and will premier in the US before Mexico.

Here is an article on it: http://www.latintimes.com/que-te-perdone-dios-promo-1-video-zuria-vega-mark-tacher-star-new-univision-283007
 

Correction-- Its seems to be a joint Uni Televisa effort. Hence all the Televisa stars, but a US premier.
 

Vivi....I hope that we get another good novela. Are any of our favorite actors/actresses in this new one ? I do not want LM to end because the acting and writing have been great, but on the other hand, I cannot wait to see the anvils and the prizes given out. I have enjoyed the twists, turns, and surprises that we have had with this show.

Also, have FC and EY given up telenovelas ? How about Adela Noriego and Edith Gonzales ? I miss some of my favorites.
 

Susanlynn- I believe Edith Gonzalez has been doing multiple tns over on Azteca for the last many years. Not sure what channels in the US show Azteca tns. Adela seems to have dropped out of the entertainment game totally. I think FC and EY need to make the decision to start playing the senior galan or the father of the galan/heroine. Not too many roles out there for a 50-something year old galan. :)
 

I did hear that Eduardo was in talks to do something with Televisa sometime this year, but I'm not sure how reliable that is Susanlynn. We can only hope! :)

Vivi, it would be terrible if anything were cut from here on in! I don't want to miss one moment...

Diana
 

Thanks for the link Vivi.

I saw bits and pieces of Abrázame Muy Fuerte and the cast for the new one seems great - Brandon and Sabine among many others.

Diana
 

Romy, no, you're not naive, I agree with you. Why she should think that there's something sexual with STEPFATHER AND STEPDAUGHTER, THE DAUGHTER OF HER MAMA? I mean like really, Juliana? Did she just... Checking out the bed?! I freaked out. So I was wondering what she was thinking... Nobody would suspect like Jualiana.
 

There will be 3 alternative finals.
 

Diana- Let's hope Uni changes their minds and pushes the new one back by a week so that not too much of ours gets cut. Otherwise, I'm going to YouTube for my fix. It's like at the beginning when Uni cut out so much of the character development stuff and the sweet moments between characters like Ale and German. They were cutting out the reasons for us to care about these characters. And if they start cutting at the end, they cheat us of some of our character and plot resolutions.

Please, Uni-powers-that-be, if you are reading this, please, please leave our little tn alone and let it play out till the end, uncut. And if you do decide to dismiss our wishes, please leave YouTube and other (non-virus filled) video sites alone, and let us watch the uncut episodes!
 

Univision, listen to what Vivi said and let this fine show play out in full. You aired it in the first place, so stick to your guns.

Ordinarily, I'd say Juliana was strange to think hanky-panky when she ran into Acacia, but Acacia had a walk of shame look on her face as she left Este's room. That girl shouldn't play poker.

I have to give some credit to Ariadne Diaz in this role. Though Acacia dresses sexy in her tiny dresses, the character is needy but not highly sexualized to me. I don't get the feeling that Acacia is just about sex with Este. That day out in the forest when she and Este were snuggled sitting side by side after her horse was put down, they were very sweet and tender together. I guess what I'm trying to say is that even though Acacia is betraying her mother in the most shameful way, I still have some sympathy for her. She is in way over her head and Este is a master manipulator.
 

Romy, I don't think you're naive. It's not really a surprise Juliana is precisely the person having the suspicion of something more going on between Este and Acacia. She kinda has a dirty mind anyway.

I too hope Uni doesn't cut too much out of these remaining episodes. Since I already know what happens I'll just say that things don't get really, really good and crazy until about Mexico episode 100. It's must see TV from that episode until the end. There is definitely one thing in particular that's going to happen that I don't think you all will expect.
 

It doesn't do any good to talk on the Caray blog about Univision editing shows. Go to Univision Corporate directly and tell them HANDS/SISSORS OFF La Malquerida. I just did. If they get swamped with emails, maybe they will listen.

Thanks Vivi.

Univision powers that be - I second Vivi's sentiments. Please, no more cutting. We have invested so much time and effort - this is a tightly, well written novela and deserves to be seen in its entirety.

Diana
 

Niecie, I agree - Ariadne Diaz is doing a good job. She has a rather wide eyed innocence that is in tune with the character.

The ensemble here is amazing. One actor is better than the next. I also think Gimena Gomez (who I'd not seen before) is doing a sensational job.

I really hope these actors are not overlooked at awards time.

GretaZwans, I have no idea what Juli was thinking as she craned her neck to look at the bed, but I just had to smile. We would expect no less!

And speaking of amazing acting, Nora Salinas has been outstanding.

Diana
 

Thanks so much for a wonderful recap. What ultimas semanas? Just a couple of months ago, there I was saying that I don't want to watch this tn due to the apparent abhorrent relationship coming but I ate my words due to the fine acting of the actors and actresses. SusanLyn, I agree that looks like ACk is getting away with this betrayal and immorality in the end . Why can't she end up like the title. Unloved by her mother most of all. And oh, Este is like the classic manipulator pedophile. And what did Ack say? she couldn't distinguish from right or wrong? Is she an adult or what? And Este brainwashing her with sweet talks about what she wants and ignore what people would say about her. And right on! She doesn't care, kissing in public and in the barn! If Este is long time Estegone, Ack is holding on to him really tight to go to hell together. Anne
