Cuando Seas
Mia (gran final)
The episode picks up at the scene with Fabian holding Diego at gunpoint,
everyone gathered in the room, with things pretty much at a draw; and Fabian
delivering his soliloquy, admitting that his one fear in life is that of being
forgotten, consigned to oblivion... He's gone too far, and can't be talked into
giving himself up; for Fabian it's all or nothing. Then just as he's about to
shoot Diego, his cell phone rings...It's Barbara calling from jail, telling him
to be careful and not put himself in harm’s way because she's pregnant – It was
a wonderful moment, to see Fabian momentarily vulnerable and happy at the news
he’s finally going to have a child…but the momentary vulnerability was enough
to put him off his guard just long enough so that Diego could make a grab for
the gun. Struggling for the gun between the two of them, while holding onto
each other, the gun goes off... and finally it's Fabian who falls to the floor
(still strewn with coffee beans), bleeding, struggling to say something about
Barbara and his son, "mi heredero," before dying there on the floor,
with Diego right next to him, distraught, crying, yelling, wondering why this
had to happen.
By the way, the music throughout this scene
is extremely good. I'd like to congratulate the composer who did the
incidental/background music for the entire novela, as it's been some of the
best I've heard on television.
Paloma shakily picks up the cell phone that
has fallen to the floor, as Barbara is still on the other end of the line
screaming - Paloma has to give her the news that Fabian is dead. After awhile,
Paloma has to gently rouse Diego to lead him away from where he’s been on the
floor beside Fabian's body, and finally only Juan Francisco is left by himself
with Fabian, holding him as he cries his anguish and then closes Fabian’s eyes
with his hand and gives his blessing and a kiss...
Juan Francisco and Diego are in the office
at Casa Blanca. The Cafetalero no longer exists, but Diego, on the phone, has
just made Casa Blanca’s first sale...
We see Barbara looking around her place
before leaving... (she no longer has Fabian's place as men have come to impound
it)…
Angela visits Bernardo in prison; she
refers to him as “hijo,” and Bernardo bitterly responds: “Hijo? How beautiful
that word sounds in your mouth....” He won't even taste the sandwiches his
mother brought: “I can't and I don't even want to be near you - forgive me for
hating you so much”... It looks like Angela has lost both of her sons.
Barbara now wants nothing to do with the
Sanchez Serranos. She visits Fabian's grave, saying she has nothing now, and
will seek out her parents – the irony of now being pregnant, with nothing, when
if they had had a son in the first place, they would have avoided all this,
that has happened... Barbara goes to her parents' place; her dad doesn't even
want to talk to her, and will barely acknowledge her since she had disowned
them, but her mother loves her. Barbara tells her she's pregnant and needs a
place to stay - mama takes her in...
Marcia is again on the cell phone, talking
to her parents, saying not to worry, that she’s learned to put those notions of
vengeance behind her, as now “I have more important things to do. I now know
what love is, and know that it begins with love of oneself.” I’m not sure, but
it looks like Marcia’s back at that church, working with people she turned to
before.
Marta is at the Coffee Council office on
the phone – Mariano hurries in, flustered, yelling, somewhat rushed and
absorbed in coffee concerns. He wonders why on earth Marta’s dressed the way
she is, when Avellanedo on the phone reminds Marianito that the wedding is
today. He looks depressed, but all the same will go to the wedding with
Marta... Then we see Marianito in a reverie by himself in the office – he picks
up a can of coffee, and simply says "Gracias, Paloma, gracias por todo y
gracias por tanto - yo te voy a querer siempre…” It was quite touching, a
beautiful moment…
Diego’s off to the wedding, but Juan
Francisco pauses before leaving the office. He takes some framed photos out of
his desk, and first looks at a photo of Fabian, and wishes things had been
different, that he would have given his life for it to be so. Then he looks at
the portrait of Bernardo – he’s proud of him, hopes he will one day be at his
side to start again, and that Juan Francisco will have the chance to truly get
to know him... It’s a lovely moment...And then Juan Francisco thinks of his
father Lorenzo: “where are you when I need you most? “But Margarita comes in to
accompany him the wedding, and they leave the office holding hands...
Casa Blanca’s courtyard being
prepared…Soledad, true to her nature, fears something will go wrong.... Then
Paloma comes down the stairs in her wedding dress - absolutely gorgeous as
expected, and even more so as she smiles and almost laughs from happiness. The
church is packed, a mariachi band plays Ave Maria, Gian Carlo walks Paloma down
the aisle... In this moment, Diego and Paloma make such an attractive and happy
pair... Everyone is there and looks exceedingly happy (except Mariano, poor
boy, who looks rather sad; and Soledad, though happy, has tears in her eyes).
When it’s time to exchange vows, the priest first says Elena Olivares, but then
says Paloma... The vows were beautiful, and not just a plain, “si, acepto,” but
with many words of love and por toda la vida. The congregation applauds as
Diego kisses the bride. There are more shots of all the familiar faces at the
wedding, and as Diego and Paloma walk out the church, they exchange a much more
sensuous kiss outside on the steps…
Afterwards, Paloma and Leanor are upstairs
together, as Paloma makes some quick adjustments before going down to the
courtyard. Soledad comes in, and hands Paloma a letter that had arrived earlier
from the doctor who treated her when she passed out in the street...presumably
the letter contains the results of medical tests and analysis done when she was
in the hospital…
People are gathering at the wedding
reception; Diego, Aurelio and Jeremy drink a toast together, and mention that
they miss Juancho, though his sentence will probably be reduced.
Avellaneda and Giancarlo get into a nice
little discussion, in which they talk about the valor and strength of the
people of Mexico: “We raise ourselves from whatever failure, whatever tragedy,
to start again.” Rather nice, given this has been one of the themes of the
novela as of late.
Diana and Daniela catch up with their
brother Diego, and he's still impatiently waiting for Paloma to join the party.
Everyone applauds when she finally descends the stairs, and the band starts
playing. There is another kiss, of course... he says she’s preciosa , and she
says “we both are…” And then she whispers in Diego’s ear – his excited response
is “What?? Are you sure?” Daniela calls for the attention of the crowd so that
Diego may share that it is the happiest day of his life, that the great love of
his life, and the only woman he has ever loved, has married him, and on top of
that she just gave him the news that they’re going to have a child! At that
news, even Doña Ines is up on a chair applauding and elated. And then Juancho
shows up! Looks like his sentence had been reduced, and he’s able to properly
congratulate Paloma and Diego and join in the festivities. Speaking of which,
the dancing begins with Diego and Paloma, and as the party goes on, all end up
dancing…
Seven Years
Later...
Diego is walking in the fields calling out
"Paloma!" An adorable little girl is crouched there in the field…
“Hija, your mother's waiting for us!” Diego looks in her basket, checking out
the coffee beans his little recolectora “Palomita” has gathered before heading
back to the house with her. Back in the house, Paloma is calling for Aurelio,
only to have his son answer… “No, your father,” she replies. She and Aurelio
talk coffee business, about Juan Francisco, and about Martita... who at that
moment shows up...
Dr. Avellaneda, Ines, and Juan Francisco
are talking as they walk through Casa Blanca’s fields together.... “After all
this time, Casablanca is flourishing. We’re finally where Lorenzo wanted.
Finally, the land flourishes… and have you seen all my grandchildren?” And then
Margarita shows up to join Juan Francisco, giving him a kiss. A rather cute,
knowing look is exchanged by Avellaneda and Ines – everything really is
flourishing…
Back in the kitchen, Marta and Paloma are
chatting: “All is going well…Mariano? I don't know if he will show up today,
you know how he’s always so busy...." "Ven aca!" It looks like
the place is suddenly invaded by children, and Diego shows up as well. It was
quite a cacophony, as one naturally expects with so many exuberant children. I
wasn’t even sure which kids were whose, but we were given some humorous clues –
I think it was Diana’s and Jeremy’s little boy who was crying for his Mama…And
Fabian’s son was there too. I’m pretty sure I saw Daniela’s and Harold’s son.
And Ricardito (child of Miguel and Berenice, adopted by Diego and Paloma, I
believe, after Berenice died) was sprawled out on a bench, asleep – I think
Paloma made the comment to Marta that he seems to sleep all the time – too
funny! In another room, little Dieguito and Soledad are watching their novela
together, but he turns to Soledad to say “I like the novela that you told to me
better” and asks her to tell it again.
-“It doesn’t have
a title yet, but it’s the story of a girl and her mother, who collected
coffee…and her name was Paloma…”
-“Like my
mother?”
-“Yes, like your
mother. And how one day she found her principe azul, and his name was Diego…”
-“Like my
father?”
-“Yes, just like
your father, and….”
And Paloma smiles
from the doorway, seeing this scene…
And the courtyard at Casa Blanca is shown
all prepared for a banquet, with family and friends all seating themselves at
the table...such a happy, loving atmosphere (and a slightly older Jeremy is
looking really cute with glasses).... many loving people... And Mariano does
show up, though a little late. Paloma hugs him, happy to see him, and says
there’ll be time for the two of them to talk later, as Diego welcomes him too.
Paloma wants to propose a toast and it’s four cheers por Casa Blanca!!! There
are last glances of the gathering, all the happy couples, and then a kiss
between Paloma and Diego…
FIN
And to wrap up this summary, I thought I’d
just quote the spur-of-the-moment couplet that Juancho came up with to honor
Paloma and Diego at the wedding:
~Entre tristeza y desgracia y amor se la
escondía,
encontró Diego a
Paloma y dijo "Cuando seas mía".
