MONDAY UPDATE ON TIMELESS LOVE EPISODE 140
Amigos, my dear, sweet suegra passed away today. I suspected today might be the day and I was able to get most of the recap done by watching the episode online and scheduling to post it this evening. I missed the last ten minutes or so of the episode, so if any of you have any corrections or additions please feel free to jump in. I'll check in later...
Regina shares the photo of Roberto Gamba with Renata and says there is no doubt he loved her very much. Renata agrees, her father was a good man, and she has a few flashbacks to when he was alive. “I am your father,” pipes up Gonzo. The beautiful curly haired lasses jump and squeal for joy. Gonzo smiles as his favorite women hug. “Who is my father? YOU are my father!” exclaims Renata.
Jero, Matias and Roberta sit in the waiting room feeling horrible about the nightmare they are in. Matias asks Berta how is she feeling and she points out he is the first to ask her. Jero comments that when Renata saw a picture of her papa it generated a bunch of memories for her. She remembered he loved her, hugged and kissed her, etc. Berta comments that’s very odd because Nata didn’t even meet him until she was a year old and she (Berta) doesn’t have those memories at all. Berta bitterly thought bubbles her papa just wanted her to disappear, that’s why Nata has all the memories that Berta should have had. These boring and bitter thoughts are interrupted by the news about Gonzo.
Tony tells his Padre adviser that he’d like to continue his religious studies at the seminary outside of Mexico City but for now he can’t leave the country because of all the police crapola. The Padre suggests he can continue his studies in the country. Gee, I wonder where he’ll end up?
The family gathers around Gonzo’s bed and the doc gives them the good news that Gonzo’s mind and body are starting to come together. Matias burbles that of course Gonzo wants to reclaim his position as father to his princess Renata. “Always her!!” thought bubbles Berta with renewed bitterness, “She always has everyone’s love!”
The doc recommends they keep up the stimulus of love, photos, conversation and memories for Gonzo and that will help his recovery.
The padre gives Tony some seminary choices and, as predicted, he selects Valle de Guadalupe. He can help out while Padre Severino continues his convenient (for some) illness.
The family gushes around Gonzo’s bedside, with Matias and Renata jokingly vying for his affection. Jero comments he’s glad to see them united and without problems.(!!) Berta sulks on the sidelines as usual. Regina wants them all to stay at her place while Gonzo rests. I think Berta volunteers to take everyone's things over to Regina’s, but she’s pretty grumpy about it. Her one genuine smile is when she kisses Gonzo and tells him she loves him.
Marina tells Padre S it looks like he’s finally getting better. He says he was afraid he was going to spend his final days stuck in some hospital bed. When it’s his time he wants to be in his own parish surrounded by his people. Uh oh, a bit of foreshadowing there? She tells him he’ll have some help soon, not a substitute but a helper. Also Doc Nasty’s permanent replacement should be arriving in town soon. Padre S looks anguished as she reminds him her days at Valle de Guadalupe are short.
Cons and Hons give Adri the good news about Gonzo. She tells them she needs to talk to them about a delicate situation concerning Chema.
Chema ears are ringing and he feels a bit dizzy. Chema thinks it’s odd that his doc has spoken to his dad but not to him. Dad says Chema has a magnesium deficiency and not to worry. Dad makes white bread and mayonnaise sandwiches for them; our foodie chef really is sick if he thinks this white food will help his magnesium deficiency.
Meanwhile Coni makes a magnesium-rich green salad with grated carrot. Hons is not really on board with Chema’s "lies till he dies therapy" (thanks Lila!!). Coni sees both sides. Hons thinks she and Matias have already fought so hard for their love they don’t need this added hurdle.
While MariTata is at the clinic she gets an ultrasound. The doctor hears something interesting. Marina asks is something wrong? Nope, listen up, two heartbeats!
Matias dines with Familia Adri and the moment the men are alone Hons blurts out that he absolutely does not agree with the Chema charade. Matias agrees it doesn’t make sense to him but the ladies have hearts of gold. As long as Adriana is firm in her conviction he’s going to help her. Big eye roll from dad.
In the kitchen the lady lookalikes admire a cake, recipe provided by Chema of course. Adri has a personal question, how did Coni really feel about Chema? Cons says if they’d met earlier in her life he would have been in grade school, wait that’s not right. Cons says if they’d met earlier they might have had something going because there is a lot to like about the guy, but her heart belongs completely to Hons so there you have it. Adri says her heart belongs completely to Matias, then they talk some more about Chema’s rotten situation.
Jero and Renata snuggle and make fun of the coffee table art. Jero is in such a good mood he even concedes that Berta truly loves Gonzo...in her way. Nata, ever the faithful sis, confirms yes she does love him. This blissful moment is predictably interrupted by a newsflash from the Valle. “We’re going to have twins!” Jero repeats the news aloud; he is thrilled and Renata is less so.
Apparently Chema has forgiven papa for the sandwiches as he claims to be glad dad is there with him. Dad says Chema has the pantalones he never had. He did what his dad wanted him to do, whereas Chema is following his own desires which is the right thing. Dad says he’s going to make up for lost time, “Let’s be restaurant partners!” Dad says he will provide the capital and Chema will provide the talent.
Jero continues to exclaim his happiness ad nauseum while Renata silently leaves the room. She hides out in the bathroom to deal with her jealousy and frustration. She even screams into a towel which I think is amazingly realistic. Jero starts to look for Nata to share his joy but Roberta arrives to spread some jeer. She’s got the emerald necklace to return to Nata, the one that Augustin bought for her, the divine, expensive one that she gleefully waves in front of Jero’s face. And she leaves it opened on the ottoman to further annoy Jero.
Renata composes herself while Berta goes into their bathroom and texts to Augustin the brands of perfume and cologne.
Jero gets all over Nata’s case for accepting gifts from a murderer. Berta lurks and hears, Augustin a murderer? Jero continues his well-honed accusing and blaming as his inner monster once again rears its ugly head. Nata tries to tell him the gift was received while they were apart... He interrupts and accuses her of being vulnerable to an unscrupulous man. She becomes angry and insists she thinks the best of people until they prove otherwise. The usual argument continues with the added ingredient that he is now the father of TWINS! Berta’s big grin is the appropriate conclusion to this odious scene.
Although MariTata is thrilled about the twins, she continues to kvetch in double time because now she will be the single mother of not one but two babies.
Somehow Nata’s last statement has shut up the raging Jero. He didn’t think how the news would affect Renata. The forgotten Roberta makes her appearance and departure while Renata and Jero share an "Oh S**t" moment.
Berta calls Augustin and demands to know why Jero and Renata call him a murderer. Who exactly did he kill? Augi proclaims his innocence. He was cleared of all charges. Berta advises that Augi make sure Nata believes it or she will never get back together with him. He tells Berta she’d better help him. She says she’ll try and she already texted him the names of Nata and Jero’s colognes. Also, Marina is expecting twins which is a big problem for Nata; Augi had better take advantage of this.
Nata explains to Jero that the news is not easy for her and Jero has no idea how hard it is. Unbelievably he begs her forgiveness. Any news of Augustin makes his blood boil. She tells him let her deal with her own problems.
And this is where I had to leave, aargh!
UPDATE: Last 10 minutes courtesy of Vivi, she who saves the day weekly... -Nata insists on returning the necklace herself to Augie. Jero thinks this is a bad idea since Augie is a murderer that may do her harm. -Nata says there are many ways to do harm and Jero's relationship with Marina did her harm and continues to do her harm. Anyways, she's even getting used to the idea that Augie is a murderer, just like her mother. She gets ticked off and heads off to lock herself in the bedroom. -Alone, Jero admits Nata is right. But he can't help being excited about the babies. -In the bedroom, Nata airs her frustration at God. She wonders if the twins will be girls, boys, or one of each. She can't believe God is allowing Jero to have TWO children with Marina, while she is not even sure she can give Jero any kids. -Adri and Matias canoodle, kiss and tickle and agree to disagree on the Chema thing. She gives him back her engagement ring for now. - Augie tries to figure out which one of his victims Nata and Jero know about. If they know about Arely, only Zeke could have talked. And not even Nesme, who is dead, knew that he sent those guys to kill him, so he doesn't think it could be that murder they know about. -In bed, Nata pretends to be asleep and clings to her side of the bed. Jero kisses her goodnight and tries to reach out to touch her, but she's too far away. He looks like he'll have a sad, sleepless night. -The next morning, the doc is telling Gina, Cons, and Matias that they can take Gonzo home and continue his therapy there. There will be times when he will be able to speak concurrently, and other times when it will be difficult for him. They need to have patience. The bullet is still lodged in his head though. -Nata wakes up late to a fully dressed Jero bringing her breakfast in bed. She still looks pissed. He begs her to forgive him and says he doesn't like her being mad at him. -She asks the 50 Million Dollar question. Why did he sleep with Marina? He says he didn't love her, so why? -Jero says it was for a lot of reasons-- loneliness, consolation, because he felt rejected by Nata. For many of the same reasons that he supposes she slept with Augie. -Nata looks at him like he has two heads and says she has NEVER been intimate with Augie.
And there we end with a totally impactado Jero who really feels like a dog now.
