MONDAY UPDATE ON TIMELESS LOVE EPISODE 110
Redux: Jero spills the beans to all and sundry that Renata is engaged TO MARRY Augustin. Caras impactadas de la familia MR and a big “Oh S**t” eye roll from Renata.
Poor Doc Maritata calls Jero and leaves a voice mail, why didn’t he arrive on the plane? She is very worried.
Gonzo asks Nata is it true that she is engaged? Augi butts in to say yes, they have agreed to share their destinies, then Matias and Jero also try to peanut-gallery their opinions but all three are ignored. Gonzo pulls his daughter aside and starts to advise her this is too precipitous when they are interrupted by Hons and Adri. They rush in to say Cons suffered some sort of respiratory arrest and is fighting for her life. Honorio breaks down.
At La Bonita the Novias fret about who will walk them down the aisle. If Laz is getting married he won’t be able to give Mati away. It’s decided that Jero will escort Mati and Ezekiel will escort Kari. They practice their wedding march as the two Novios spy from behind the door. Mati scolds them that peeking at their dresses before the wedding is back luck. Too late Mati, the curse has already been set in motion.
Jero calls Marina to apologize and explain. She says don’t worry about explanations but very sweetly and stalker-like adds he should have called her about his change in plans. (Why? Unless he knew she would be at the airport which I think he did not.) He says for sure he’ll return tomorrow and he’ll call her when he gets to the hacienda.
Gonzo and Nata stroll the hospital halls worrying about Coni’s condition. Then Gonzo asks when was Nata going to tell him about Augustin? Sure he wanted her away from the city of dangers, but he didn’t think she would go and do *that*. She explains Augi is very nice and they have a lot in common, yawn. He says that’s not enough for marriage and why did she have to get engaged so quickly as if to escape? She asks him for time and to let her make her own decisions. He just wants her to learn from past experiences, hers and others. He got married to her mother for many reasons, the least of which was love. She points out she was crazy in love with Jero and look what happened. She wants to move on with her life. Maybe dad is right but she wants to try out different things, there are many types of love. (Right, 1. in love, and 2. not in love.) He insists that true love is the primary reason to get married and she knows it. He begs her to think about this.
Regina and Jero talk about Renata’s engagement. She explains about Gonzo sending Nata down to Ensenada incommunicado to protect her from BSCBlanca. He doesn’t understand why Nata couldn’t tell him all this. She suggests he discuss it with Renata, maybe it would help clarify things between them. He says no, this telenovela is not nearly far enough along to start communicating intelligently or for him to admit he is a bullish ass. There is no turning back (no tiene vuelta de hoja) because if she agreed to marry Augi it’s proof she no longer loves Jero.
Matias gives a brotherly warning to Augustin and Augi gives his word Nata will not shed a single tear because of him.
Hons and Adri pray in the chapel. Adri tells him she sees Cons as a second mother and she doesn’t think she can lose another mama. Nor he the woman he loves, he adds. She admits that she put her relationship with Matias at risk to try to lure Chema away from Coni so that there would be a clear path for Cons and Hons. Dad reassures her that they will win, the three of them together. Very sweet. Adri also mentioned that although she doesn't love Chema, she is not entirely indifferent about him either.
It looks like JudyB and I were worried for nothing as Doc Tata made it safely home. Padre is super miffed to find out that Jero didn’t even call, thus making Marina spend hours on the dangerous highway. But of course his time is more important than anyone else's. What an outrage! (Qué barbaridád!) She explains Jero didn’t know she was going to the airport, it was supposed to be a surprise. He advises her not to be in anyone’s life if she is the last thing on their list.
Jero tells Hons goodbye and wishes him the best for Coni. Hons thanks Jero for all he did for the company. He mentions the personal business between Jero and Coni and Gonzo jumps up and demands to know WHAT business did Jero have with his sister? Hons covers by saying he was just thanking Jero for his help with the bank. Gonzo sternly and sincerely thanks Jero for his financial help and says they will be eternally grateful. Jero reassures him that even though things with Renata didn’t go as they’d hoped he still cares a lot about the family. They share a man-hug and Jero leaves just as Augi and Renata return. Augi juts his lower jaw in irritation as Nata excuses herself to follow Jero.
In the operating room the doctors have finally finished. Nurse asks something about Coni’s breathing and the doc says as soon as Coni wakes up they’ll have a better idea.
Adri brinks Matias a cup of coffee and he sulkily refuses the kind gesture. She tells him not to be like that, she needs him and loves him a lot. “You might need me but love me, no.” he retorts childishly. That’s our Matias, never too grieved to play the martyr. He tells her he doesn’t believe her before stomping off in his too-shiny suit.
Nata finds Jero and stops him for a final, private goodbye. She clumsily apologizes to him (why exactly?) as his wife, er ex-wife, er whatever, and thanks him for all he did for her company. She explains she was frustrated and angry and his forgiveness is important to her. They pant and stare at each others’ lips.
Regina sits and silently thanks God for this opportunity to get her daughter back and for putting the Bank of Jeronimo at her disposal.
Renata assures Jero yet again that she is very grateful for everything he did for the business. She thanks him profusely at least eight times in a row. Enough already. Augi arrives and stands aggressively in the background as Jero caresses Nata’s face and explains they went through bad stuff but he is there for her if she ever, EVER needs him for anything. She kisses him very close to but not exactly on his lips and they say a lingering goodbye.
Nata is visibly upset. Augi steps away to make a call. He calls Ez and instructs him to call in exactly 15 minutes and do exactly what Augi tells him.
Gonzo finds Regina sitting sadly. She says she was thinking about what a great guy Jero is. Gonzo rebuts that although Jero did the business a huge favor he caused his daughter many tears and so Gonzo does not share her opinion. She says Jero also suffered thanks to Renata’s sister. It’s a pity that they could not overcome their obstacles and differences. They wax philosophical on the pros and cons of love and life. Regina says now more than ever they should be thankful for hope, hope that Coni will recuperate and that everything will return to normal. Gonzo agrees, Faith and Hope that Coni will get well and Regina will get her daughter.
Sinister music warn us but not Renata that Augi lies in wait. He demands to know why she went chasing after Jeronimo. She pauses longer than normal, signifying her displeasure at this query. However she does explain she only wanted to thank him for helping the company. He gets on her case saying Jero has a huge ego and gets off on the money thing. He grabs her arm and she immediately pushes him off of her as if he were a disease. He gripes that Jero always uses money to get at her and this wasn’t the first time. He loves to use money to demonstrate his superiority and he did the same to Augi when he paid a very high fine to get out of selling him La Bonita. Augi says he used money to break his word and his contract. Now he’s using money to try to make up for all the suffering he caused her. She insists Jero helped her family for the family's sake and she just wanted to thank him.
Augi announces he needs some air (so that he can “forget” his phone). It rings as scheduled and Nata answers. Ez nervously tells her it’s nothing urgent but of course she wants to take a message. He says he wants to tell the boss he’ll be a little late because he’s going to help Lazaro with something special that Jero is preparing for Doctora Marina. Oh but never mind, he’ll call the boss later. Renata thought bubbles “Are you in love with her Jeronimo?”
Jero and Carlos have a huggy yet manly reunion and Jero updates Carlos on Coni adding that the imbecile Dunant was there but hey, he does not want to think about those people. Carlos asks, then no possibility of a reconciliation? Nope, none at all, that chapter is closed, says Jero.
Ez drives through the Cruz de Amor vineyards with Lazaro hiding in the truck. Ez gives the magic mixture to Melesio and they treat the top secret vine. Mele comments it’s the only vine of its type and it can’t die. Ez lures Mele away so that Lazaro can inspect the top secret vine. Even though it is sickly and looks like the surrounding vines Super Laz is able to use his super powers to confirm that Yes, it IS a sarmiento of La Bonita!!
The prison doctor tells Jero that Doc ShouldBeDead is anxious to talk to him.
Hons begs Cons to wake up, which she does, but she cannot talk and becomes understandably upset. Hons keeps asking her what she’s trying to say and pressures the doctor which is not helping calm Coni down at all. She thinks My God why am I unable to say a word? She must tell them about the murderess Fina who tried to kill her and made her this way.
The Comandante tells Gonzo they checked the MR security cameras and they couldn’t see anyone entering or leaving the residential zone. Also, there was no forced entry. He concludes they checked the nut house and are sure BSCBlanca could not have escaped to attack Coni. Gonzo says they must get to the bottom of this business. He won’t allow whoever did this to his sister to go unpunished.
Renata and Adriana bond until Hons comes out and tells them about Coni’s condition. He doesn’t know yet if it will be temporary or what. Gonzo and Matias arrive and ask what happened.
Meanwhile Fina is hiding out and calling Berta for Coni updates. Berta has no news but she does know that they are starting a very intensive investigation. Fina’s glad she’s not at the house although Berta thinks her absence will look suspicious. Fina says Gonzo will have to testify that he was at the house arguing with Fina when the attack supposedly took place. Fina hopes Coni kicks the bucket so she won’t be able to tell what happened. Berta is shocked at mami’s cold blood. Fina whines she doesn’t have an option and she wants Berta to apprise her of Coni’s condition so that she can make decisions!
Chema visits Inez and tells her about his constant migraines. She asks him for a ride to the city center, it’s an emergency. When Chema hears it’s Coni he sprints out of the office. Wait, don’t forget Inez!! On second thought, does she really want a guy with migraines driving her around Mexico City?
Jero gives the incriminating letter and post-its to Carlos so they can do a handwriting analysis. Carlos tells Jero he’s got good news and bad news. Which does he want to hear first?
The bank manager of the OBDF (Only Bank in the DF) meets with Regina and tells her the money will be ready tomorrow. But is she sure she wants it in cash? They can do a check or bank transfer. Gina needs it in cash. Bank Manager says no problem just fill out this questionnaire including the reason for withdrawal. Ruh Roh.
Jero explodes that if Dunant has stolen any of his cuttings he will send him to jail. Carlos says it’s impossible to prove (huh? won’t the evidence of the cutting prove it?) but Jero says Dunant is going to pay.
Now for the good news, not only are Carlos and Mati getting married but so are Laz and Kari. It will be a double wedding! Ruh Roh. Carlos asks, isn’t Jero pleased? But Jero is shaking his head.
Gonzo and Matias urge Hons to be positive for himself and for Coni. Renata and Adri join them followed by Augi (NOT in a windbreaker!!). Nata grudgingly allows her fiance( to kiss her cheek and take her home for a change of clothes (finally!). Adri and Hons also leave the waiting room so Gonzo and Matias can gripe. They don’t like Renata with Augi but Matias says he’s better than Jero. At least he acts like a gentleman. (Hah!) Gonzo insists and fumes Nata is not in love with Augi and he does not agree with the engagement.
Jero finds the Padre who immediately scolds Jero for making Marina drive all the way to Tijuana and back, tsk tsk. Jero apologizes and needs the Padre’s advice on the delicate subject of Laz and Kari. Oh how the padre gushes his happiness over their engagement. Jero, playing the role of the anvil, tells padre they cannot get married because...Kari is not a widow and Frankendoctor is alive. Ruh Roh.
Renata pushes for Augi to go back to Ensenada. He rebels, saying he wants to ask Gonzo formally for her hand in marriage. She keeps pushing that she wants him to go back to Cruz de Amor and as soon is as her aunt gets better then she’ll arrange for them to talk to her father, OK? He reluctantly agrees, having lost yet another battle.
