Marimar Episode 25 – The one where Angelika stages her fall
Corazon arrived at Marimar’s flat and since she looked quite flushed from her market trip, Marimar offers her the corrupted juice which she drinks quickly. Corazon says it tastes a bit funny but it is delicious and refreshing and downs the glass. Perfecta didn’t know this because Corazon tasked her to go into the kitchen and get the fruits that she had brought for Marimar.
Angelika is obviously enjoying the attention that Renato is now giving her being in her ‘special condition’ and she’s looks confident her plans are going well. Meanwhile nobody knows about Marimar’s condition except for Fulgoso, Cruz and Pancho and Perfecta and Angelika. Angelika is keen on suppressing this truth from even coming out, since she intends to do all she can to destroy Marimar’s pregnancy.
Renato and Angelika hold a ‘thank you party’ for the new addition to their family – their baby – and when Angelika enthusiastically revealed that it is the answer to their prayers, many among the staff doubted Angelika if she prays at all and whether God listens to a top-grade witch like her. Angelika offers peace to Marimar saying that her pregnancy is the cause of her awful mood swings. She even offered Marimar to become the godmother of their baby. Marimar seems to be hesitant about the whole peace-making process but keeps silent.
In their bedroom, Marimar asks Sergio what being a godmother means and Sergio explains it is like becoming the second mother or parent of a child to whom Marimar exclaimed that it is quite a task and that Angelika may truly have been sorry for her past actions giving her this prime task for her own child. Sergio is doubtful and warns his wife about Angelika’s dubious nature.
Angelika asks Perfecta whether Marimar had indeed drunk the life-threatening mixture and Perfecta confirms with crossed fingers hidden behind her. Angelika remarks that she can indeed rely on Perfecta and seems to be pleased that all is going according to her plans.
Next morning, Marimar is in the kitchen helping the obviously suffering Corazon into a seat. The cook has a painful abdomen and is screaming horribly. While Marimar is comforting her, Arturo arrives telling Marimar that Sergio has been looking for her. It seems like Sergio plans to take Marimar out for some sight-seeing trip around the island. Marimar is so excited upon hearing this and apologizes to the suffering Corazon as she leaves. Arturo then opens his beauty kit and starts applying a blusher on his cheeks. Nicandro catches him in the act but he defends himself and pretends to be the macho man and leaves in a huff.
Sergio sits in the lobby when Renato comes and teases his son how nice it is to be out of a job, you can just lounge about and do as you please – when the young man says he’s going out with Marimar. This prompts Sergio to retort that his father is running late if he intends to go to work. Renato explained that Angelika wasn’t feeling well so he made sure she is fine before leaving for work. Sergio sardonically replies how much a doting dad his father has become. He’d been quite worried for his younger sibling as his first-hand experiences with his father had been dismal. To this Renato countered that his son had been such a disappointment in all aspects being so much of a “mama’s boy” that he hopes that he will have success in his second offspring. This leaves Sergio in a bad mood that when Marimar arrived; she noticed his sulk and tried to erase his face using her hand in the hope of getting one that smiles. She does succeed and kissed her husband as she excited pulls him on to begin their trip.
Angelika is smoking and Monica warns her about her condition to which she just looks spitefully at her dense friend. Corazon arrives with a glass of milk and some vitamins for Angelika to take according to Renato’s instructions. Angelika obligingly takes the medicine and even goes out of her way to be friendly to Corazon. When Monica asks her why she is suddenly over-friendly even to the hired help, Angelika explains that all this is part of her master plan and bids her friend to wait and see.
The young couple is driving around and Sergio says that they’re going on a joyride. Marimar asks what it means and he said they can go anywhere they want to. Marimar expresses her happiness that they are spending this day together and she hopes that there will be more days like this one. Sergio hasn’t told Marimar yet that he had resigned from his job instead he tells her that he has taken some time off. They were talking about the future children they will be having, being prompted by Angelika’s pregnancy and Marimar wants a boy or a girl so long that as it looks like Sergio. Sergio tells his wife that perhaps in time they will have their own children but for now, it is best if they enjoy one another first. Just then, Sergio stopped feeling like he’d hit something. Good thing it wasn’t hurt – it was a chicken – that Sergio immediately sets free but Marimar stops him, asking him if they can adopt it as a pet. Sergio complains they’ve already got Fulgoso and Fifi as pets in the resort and to add a chicken would be ridiculous but gives in to Marimar’s pleadings. They name the chicken Pancha.
The staff are in the kitchen eating the leftover food and talking about Angelika’s sudden change of attitude, being sweet and all. Some are doubtful whether this is for real, perhaps just one of those effects from her pregnancy. At least the staff are happy that for now, there is peace in the resort.
Meanwhile Marimar and Sergio are enjoying what appears to be a romantic dinner together. Marimar asks if Sergio can teach her how to write, read, count, use the computer, use the right utensils, drive a car, and even sail a boat! She declares she wants to learn how to do all of these because she wants to be Sergio’s partner in everything that they face in their marriage. She wants to be there sharing the hardship and the triumphs of their life as husband and wife. This touches Sergio who tells her how amazing she is in English. When Marimar asked him what he means, Sergio tries to dismiss it by giving a paltry translation but Marimar insists and he tells her what it really means and asks his wife to sit closer to him. There follows a lovey-dovey scene between that two showing how content they seem to be when they are together.
Sergio meets with his former car-racing team and the man informs him of an F3 race that will be held in Macau a month away. He asks Sergio to re-join the team and train with them as soon as possible. Sergio considers this as his chance to earn some money and prove his worth to his father. His problem is breaking this news to Marimar.
Angelika wants to join Marimar for dinner and when Corazon appears, she just starts crying telling Marimar that all she wants if for them to be friends but Marimar continues to treat her rudely. The surprised Marimar is left dumbstruck as Angelika walks away in tears. Marimar follows Angelika up the stairs and having reached the peak; Angelika stops and ask Marimar whether she knows what it feels to fall down several steps of stairs. Angelika tells her that before the week is over, she will be thrown out of the villa and back in the dumps where she belongs. Marimar sensing peril defends herself but much to her surprise, Angelika drops herself down the staircase and cries out Marimar name. Perfecta and Corazon run to help Angelika and they call for an ambulance. Marimar is left in shock at the top when Angelika declares that Marimar pushed her. Marimar tries to deny it but the damage has already been done. Angelika’s plan had been orchestrated to a perfect conclusion.
My take: Despite Angelika’s sudden change of moods it is obvious that she still is the bi-atch that she is and Diego can see that aside from staff who may have caught her overtly smoking. Sergio can take Marimar with him if he wants to. If the team really wants him to race with them, then he can negotiate to race only if his wife can come along – come on, how many really good racers can you find and what’s one more person when the team gets sponsors and money from advertising and endorsements. If Sergio is really that good a racer, he certainly can pull some weight right?
Quotables: Perfecta to all the staff gathered “Dapat lang naman na maunang mabuntis si Maam Angelika ko kasi nauna naman silang ikinasal ni Senor Renato.”
Sergio to Marimar: “You never fail to make me feel loved and important.” Marimar asks,” what does that mean?” (in Tagalog) Sergio replies, “It means you’re beautiful.” Marimar rejects the translation arguing that Sergio made such a long statement and it does not appear that it only meant that. Sergio tells her what he really meant and shares how lucky he is to be the recipient of Marimar’s affections.
Can’t wait to see: Renato throwing Marimar away. Sergio and Marimar’s farewell scene. Marimar and the famous bracelet-picking scene in the mud.

Marimar Episode 24
Marimar Episode 24 – The one with Angelika getting a fake pregnancy
Sergio arrives home a bit drunk finding Marimar in bed and eating what she claims as the sweetest kalamansi (Philippine lemons) she has ever tasted. Sergio is a bid sad but feels happy to be with his wife whom he obliged to by eating one of the kalamansi she’s offering. He crumples his face in what looked like the sourest lemon he’s ever tasted. Still he doesn’t suspect his wife’s preference for really sour fruit lately. Marimar even told him that she earlier felt sick but after eating a platter of this “sweet” fruit, she is now better.
Renato called a staff meeting telling everyone to be careful with how they spend the resort’s budget. From then on, he said, everyone must support all expenditure with a receipt otherwise, it will be deducted from their own salary. Angelika asks for more allowance from Renato but he is firm with his decision: no baby, no money.
Sergio is brooding on the rooftop and we see a flashback of the little boy Sergio, who is a bit on the plump side feeling very sad by the pool. Corazon finds him and asks him why he is sad to which the young Sergio admits that he feels bad because his parents are fighting again. Corazon coaxes the boy to stop feeling bad and come to the house and change.
Renato arrives on the same deck and sees Sergio gazing over all the resort. He says it would be a waste to let all this go, when his mother had put everything she had in building it. Renato vows to save it. Sergio hopes that for the sake of the resort, his father’s promise goes well this time as he (Renato) had wasted too many promises on his late mother.
We then see Fulgoso giving Fifi a rose. He asks Fifi is she’s been told how beautiful she is. To this the female dog says yes. Fulgoso asks if she knew how sexy she is. Again Fifi replies yes. Finally Fulgoso asks, “Fifi, do you know how mayabang (braggart) you are?” which surprises Fifi who jolts with a, “What?!” They show one another’s tricks and it is obvious Fifi knows a lot more than Fulgoso. Fifi calls Fulgoso a “jo-dogs” short for “jologs na dog” – meaning a mongrel that does not have any breeding. Fulgoso retorts, “I don’t care for breads!”
Monica is flirting with the hunky Diego when Angelika arrives quite pissed. She tells her friend that Renato didn’t give her any money and no amount of coaxing seems to work on her husband these days. Monica suggests giving Renato what he wants, which is - to have a baby - Angelika smiles telling her friend that sometimes, her brains does work after all.
Sergio is back at his office and he is clearing off his stuff from his desk. Renato asks him again if he is indeed set on his decision to resign. He confirms this and asks his father whether he’s also fired Innocencia. Renato says that he thought Sergio had since he resigned but no he (Renato) has not fired her, she didn’t even come to work that day.
Marimar and Choi are making beads as Marimar is keen on completing a set for Sergio. Natalia arrives and is quite friendly towards Marimar. This surprises our young heroine as the former had been quite oblivious towards her before. Natalia even gave Marimar a bag of ‘dalanghita’ (local oranges) since she heard from Corazon that Marimar likes to eat them these days. Natalia then tells Marimar that she wants the both of them to be friends, just like Choi is to her to which Marimar quickly accepts.
Natalia is talking to her strange sister in the toilet while Choi and Marimar continue to make beads. We hear Choi’s account about Natalia: how she had been adopted by his parents and raised as their own when they found her alone as a child. Natalia’s parents had died and while she did have an older sister, that sister too seemed to have died when Natalia was a little girl. Meaning, the weird lady in white is actually a ghost that Natalia speaks too! Yikes! She vows to her sister’s spirit that she will be the only one to have Choi as she had loved him since childhood and no one, especially Marimar, would be able to take Choi away from her.
Marimar find Natalie beside the pool posted as a life-guard it seems, and she gives her new ‘friend’ a bracelet of beads she herself made, as a thank you for her gift of dalanghitas. Natalia asks if Marimar wants, she’ll get her more. Marimar said she is really ashamed to ask for more but if Natalia insists, maybe some santol or sampaloc would be great. Marimar runs off happy and as soon as her back was turned, Natalia throws the bracelet in the pool.
Perfecta confirms to Angelika that Marimar is indeed pregnant. Angelika contacts Nicandro and asks him to go to town and purchase a concoction that is usually used to get rid of unwanted pregnancies.
Marimar visits her grandparents and they notice how her appetite seems to have increased of late and also how she likes sour food. Later when they couple were alone, they managed to come to the conclusion that perhaps Marimar is pregnant and both a quite happy and excited about the prospect of having their own great-grandchild.
Nicandro gives Angelika a bottle of some dodgy looking liquid and tells her that the vendor said this is the most effective mixture in the market. She tasked Perfecta to make a drink to Marimar and to include the mixture in her drink. When Perfecta hesitated saying isn’t it like killing the baby and committing murder, Angelika chastised her declaring Marimar as trash and like her baby, who should also be trashed.
Arturo is driving Sergio to town and he asks his young boss’ feeling towards Angelika to which Sergio replies she no longer matters. Arturo pushes that it is obvious she still has feelings for Sergio. Sergio asks if she indeed still loves him, shy did she choose his father over him. Arturo explains it is quite easy to see why, the reason is money. His father has direct access to the Santibanez fortune while Sergio still does not. Sergio is silent for a while and speaks, “I don’t want to hurt Marimar or fool her.” Arturo warns that Angelika will just continue to plot and scheme to separate Marimar and Sergio and thus he should be careful. Sergio thanks Arturo for being a loyal friend and for his warnings.
Angelika tells Renato she needs money to buy a crib, baby’s clothes, etc and when her husband asks her why, she admits to being pregnant. Renato was quite doubtful at first, asking Angelika that she just had her period last week. Angelika reasons that it was not true, she was just not feeling well that is why she didn’t want for them to have intercourse and today she found out why she has mood swings and is feeling ill of late, it is because she is pregnant. Renato ponders on this information as he looks closely on his wife, trying to know if she it telling him the truth.
Perfecta arrived at Marimar and Sergio’s flat to find Marimar eating some dalanghitas and green mangoes. She is carrying a huge glass of juice and we know this is the one laden with the concoction that is supposed to get rid of Marimar’s child. Perfecta said Corazon made this juice especially for her and that she should drink it while it is still cold. Marimar was about to drink the juice when Fulgoso kept on barking, knowing that it is bad for her baby. Again Perfecta prompts Marimar to drink and again Fulgoso barks in anger. Suddenly, Corazon arrives complaining about how hot it is in the market.
My take: So Natalia’s sister is a ghost....creepy! I think it is all in Natalia’s head, this dead sister – perhaps a case of madness, more like multiple personality or split personality disorder. Calling all Psych majors out there....what’s your prognosis? Angelika being pregnant? Come on; see how she smokes like a chimney? Such a faker!
Quotables: Monica to Diego, “You can call me Monica, Monique or baby.”
Angelika to Monica when the latter suggests giving Renato’s wish a go, “Alam mo paminsan-minsan gumagana pa rin pala yang utak mo.”
Angelika to Nicandro “Nakasalalay sa iyo ang tagumpay ng plano ko.” as she tasks the sneaky thug to buy the ‘pampalaglag’.
Angelika to Perfecta “Parang ina nya, isa rin shang basura na dapat itapon” when talking about Marimar’s baby.

Marimar Episode 23
Marimar – Episode 23: The one where Marimar is possibly pregnant
Renato and his lawyer are discussing his financial crisis and there seems to be no other solution left to the elder Santibanez but to mortgage his property.
Marimar and Sergio are out on a picnic and are discussing the recent events with Angelika to which Marimar suggest for them to leave the villa and live somewhere else. Marimar admits that she doesn’t really feel at home there having no friends as feeling like she is always on her toes in fear that she might turn around and break things. To this Sergio explains that villa Santibanez is his only home. It is where he was born, where he grew up, and where his mother’s presence can still be felt. He wants to keep living there because it had been an important place for his mother who built the resort from scratch. Sergio then informed Marimar that she is important to him, so he wants the people who really matter most to him to be in one place. Marimar replied that she does understand how Sergio feels but she herself has so many reservations which she chose to keep to herself. When Sergio leaves, Marimar outpours her feelings to her one true friend, Fulgoso. She asks why so many people seem to be bent in separating her and Sergio? Why many are so against their marriage? Why, after all this time of living in the villa, she still feels like she isn’t wanted?
Meanwhile, Innocencia’s ex-boyfriend, Victorino waits for her to pass by her normal route to work and begs for them to have a talk. The young woman agrees and they talk there and then with Victorino begging Innocencia to take him back. He is sorry for what he’d done the past week and wants to get back together with Innocencia. When he asks his ex-GF if there is someone else in her life, she at first tried to deny it but when Victorino pushed her, she admitted that she has fallen for Sergio and walks away leaving Victorino in a jealous rage.
Angelika is pissed at her bodyguard Diego who goes and follows her wherever she goes leaving her unable to plot and scheme towards Marimar’s downfall. When Monica appears in an all fatigue outfit (even her cap) Angelika has someone to insult calling her “over-fatigued”. Monica still finds Diego a yummy treat to which Angelika had an idea. She asked Monica to go and flirt with her shadow and distract him so she can slip away. While the two are in discussion, Victorino arrives demanding to see the wife of Sergio Santibanez. Intrigued at the man’s obvious anger, she pretends to be Sergio’s wife and Victorino warns her that Sergio may be having more than business relations with his secretary as Innocencia has admitted she has fallen in love with Sergio. This information only irritates Angelika more.
Renato is signing off the mortgage papers while Sergio now back in the office is talking with Innocencia. She had revealed that the resort is in dreadful financial circumstances and the bank does not even want to loan out to them anymore. Angered at this information, Sergio confronts Renato who at first denied anything is wrong. However due to Sergio’s disrespectful manner towards him, he throws his son the company records that clearly show they are near bankruptcy. Sergio resigns leading his father to call him a coward. Sergio insists he isn’t and will prove to Renato how he will save their business using his own means. Renato then asked for his son’s written resignation the very next day and to keep this between them. When Sergio impertinently asked, “Why, don’t you want your friends to know what a big failure you are?” Renato reasoned that if ever anyone gets to know their real state, there will be chaos – the staff may go on strike, guests may no longer come and investors may no longer give them their needed capital – which convinces Sergio to keep this information classified.
Marimar visits Choi in the souvenir shop and the young man offers Marimar a beautiful bouquet of flowers especially picked by Choi for her. Marimar said she will give it to Corazon who liked offering the flowers to the Sto. Nino. Choi felt bad about this to which Marimar reminded him that they are just friends. Choi agrees but is not that excited about it. Unknown to them, Natalia is watching the exchange by the window. Her strange sister appears telling her to make Marimar her friend and when she is already in too deep, then Natalia should strike to neutralise and get rid of Marimar as a threat for Choi’s attentions.
Angelika had managed to slip away from Diego and she confronted Innocencia in the lobby. They are now in a hut with Nicandro and the captured Innocencia had obviously been beaten by Angelika and her thug. Angelika made Innocencia admit her true feelings for Sergio and when she did, Angelika now more incensed told her that she is the only one who has the right to own Sergio. This leads to Angelika using a brand (used for cows and horses) to mark and ruin Innocencia’s face. She them throws her a wad of money stating that’s the last she’ll ever get from her and good luck on her being able to afford medication for her sick mother. Innocencia is left crying on the floor full of anger towards her own cousin.
Corazon prepared a meal for Marimar that is usually her favorite but this time the young woman just doesn’t have the appetite to eat. Corazon’s been babbling about how evil Angelika is and that sometimes when she knows she is going to see her, she wears protection like a lei of garlic to keep safe. This makes Marimar laugh but still she doesn’t eat. Corazon noticed how sad she is and suggested for Marimar and Sergio to have a baby. This way, while Sergio is off at work, she will be kept busy caring for her child. “Just promise to make me a yaya,” Corazon kids Marimar. The thought of having her own child with Sergio does seem to make Marimar happy.
Marimar is still waiting for Sergio when she suddenly felt dizzy. Perfecta saw her and asked what the matter was. Earlier Perfecta had overheard Marimar and Corazon’s conversation about having babies and seeing Marimar so wan and dizzy gives Perfecta reason to suspect that she indeed may be pregnant. She hurries off to find Angelika and tell her mistress this bit of news.
Marimar is in bed not feeling very well with Fulgoso beside her. She asks her mutt why she is feeling this way when before she loved shellfish, now she seems to get sick when she seems them. Fulgoso replies, “Marimar there is only one explanation for this, you are becoming as snotty and hoity-toity as the high society!” Marimar then tells Fulgoso that although she loves him, his scent is also making her want to vomit so if he doesn’t mind, maybe he can sleep downstairs. Fulgoso then realises his mistress might be pregnant.
Perfecta finds Angelika who looks to be tired. She tells what she suspects about Marimar’s condition to which Angelika gets more alarmed. If Marimar could be pregnant this will make it even more difficult for her to separate her and Sergio. She tells Perfecta that no one must ever know about this new bit of information since she plans of getting rid of the child before it is even known to exist.
My take: How bad can you be to hurt even your own blood? Apparently Angelika is. Although she is stupid to let Innocencia be Sergio’s secretary in the first place. If I were her, I’d have offered my services as the father and son’s personal assistant that way, I get to be useful, and get to spend time with both my husband and my ex-BF.
Quotables: Renato, “I am your father and the CEO of this company.” Sergio, “Well I am the son of the woman who gave you this company.” (Taray!)
Angelika to Monica “Ano namang yang suot mo?” Monica, “Jenny from the block!” Angelika pointing at her friend’s hat “Ano to?” Monica “fatigue”. Angelika points to cap, blouse, pants, and shoes “fatigue, fatigue, fatigue...aba eh, over-fatigue ka na kadiri, so cheap!”
Angelika to Innocencia “Akin lang si Sergio at walang sinuman ang makaka-agaw sa kanya” (Such a bi-atch!)
Corazon to Marimar “Mag-bibi na kasi kayo para mayroon ka nang pagka-abalahan” Marimar, “Bibi?” Corazon, “Oo yung, bibi”, acts like she is carrying a child and rocking it sideways. Marimar “Ahhhh!” (hehehehe bibi pala tawag doon, kala ko kasi baby!)
Marimar to Fulgoso “Bakit ganun Fulgoso parang nasusuka ako pag nakaka-amoy ako ng masansang or malansa” Fulgoso “Isa lang ibig sabihin niyan Marimar, nagiging maarte ka na!”
Fulgoso to Marimar “Teka bakit parang pinipersonal mo na ako, maliligo ako bukas!”
Renato and his lawyer are discussing his financial crisis and there seems to be no other solution left to the elder Santibanez but to mortgage his property.

He wants to keep living there because it had been an important place for his mother who built the resort from scratch. Sergio then informed Marimar that she is important to him, so he wants the people who really matter most to him to be in one place. Marimar replied that she does understand how Sergio feels but she herself has so many reservations which she chose to keep to herself. When Sergio leaves, Marimar outpours her feelings to her one true friend, Fulgoso. She asks why so many people seem to be bent in separating her and Sergio? Why many are so against their marriage? Why, after all this time of living in the villa, she still feels like she isn’t wanted?
Meanwhile, Innocencia’s ex-boyfriend, Victorino waits for her to pass by her normal route to work and begs for them to have a talk. The young woman agrees and they talk there and then with Victorino begging Innocencia to take him back. He is sorry for what he’d done the past week and wants to get back together with Innocencia. When he asks his ex-GF if there is someone else in her life, she at first tried to deny it but when Victorino pushed her, she admitted that she has fallen for Sergio and walks away leaving Victorino in a jealous rage.
Angelika is pissed at her bodyguard Diego who goes and follows her wherever she goes leaving her unable to plot and scheme towards Marimar’s downfall. When Monica appears in an all fatigue outfit (even her cap) Angelika has someone to insult calling her “over-fatigued”. Monica still finds Diego a yummy treat to which Angelika had an idea. She asked Monica to go and flirt with her shadow and distract him so she can slip away. While the two are in discussion, Victorino arrives demanding to see the wife of Sergio Santibanez. Intrigued at the man’s obvious anger, she pretends to be Sergio’s wife and Victorino warns her that Sergio may be having more than business relations with his secretary as Innocencia has admitted she has fallen in love with Sergio. This information only irritates Angelika more.
Renato is signing off the mortgage papers while Sergio now back in the office is talking with Innocencia. She had revealed that the resort is in dreadful financial circumstances and the bank does not even want to loan out to them anymore. Angered at this information, Sergio confronts Renato who at first denied anything is wrong. However due to Sergio’s disrespectful manner towards him, he throws his son the company records that clearly show they are near bankruptcy. Sergio resigns leading his father to call him a coward. Sergio insists he isn’t and will prove to Renato how he will save their business using his own means. Renato then asked for his son’s written resignation the very next day and to keep this between them. When Sergio impertinently asked, “Why, don’t you want your friends to know what a big failure you are?” Renato reasoned that if ever anyone gets to know their real state, there will be chaos – the staff may go on strike, guests may no longer come and investors may no longer give them their needed capital – which convinces Sergio to keep this information classified.
Marimar visits Choi in the souvenir shop and the young man offers Marimar a beautiful bouquet of flowers especially picked by Choi for her. Marimar said she will give it to Corazon who liked offering the flowers to the Sto. Nino. Choi felt bad about this to which Marimar reminded him that they are just friends. Choi agrees but is not that excited about it. Unknown to them, Natalia is watching the exchange by the window. Her strange sister appears telling her to make Marimar her friend and when she is already in too deep, then Natalia should strike to neutralise and get rid of Marimar as a threat for Choi’s attentions.
Angelika had managed to slip away from Diego and she confronted Innocencia in the lobby. They are now in a hut with Nicandro and the captured Innocencia had obviously been beaten by Angelika and her thug. Angelika made Innocencia admit her true feelings for Sergio and when she did, Angelika now more incensed told her that she is the only one who has the right to own Sergio. This leads to Angelika using a brand (used for cows and horses) to mark and ruin Innocencia’s face. She them throws her a wad of money stating that’s the last she’ll ever get from her and good luck on her being able to afford medication for her sick mother. Innocencia is left crying on the floor full of anger towards her own cousin.
Corazon prepared a meal for Marimar that is usually her favorite but this time the young woman just doesn’t have the appetite to eat. Corazon’s been babbling about how evil Angelika is and that sometimes when she knows she is going to see her, she wears protection like a lei of garlic to keep safe. This makes Marimar laugh but still she doesn’t eat. Corazon noticed how sad she is and suggested for Marimar and Sergio to have a baby. This way, while Sergio is off at work, she will be kept busy caring for her child. “Just promise to make me a yaya,” Corazon kids Marimar. The thought of having her own child with Sergio does seem to make Marimar happy.
Marimar is still waiting for Sergio when she suddenly felt dizzy. Perfecta saw her and asked what the matter was. Earlier Perfecta had overheard Marimar and Corazon’s conversation about having babies and seeing Marimar so wan and dizzy gives Perfecta reason to suspect that she indeed may be pregnant. She hurries off to find Angelika and tell her mistress this bit of news.
Marimar is in bed not feeling very well with Fulgoso beside her. She asks her mutt why she is feeling this way when before she loved shellfish, now she seems to get sick when she seems them. Fulgoso replies, “Marimar there is only one explanation for this, you are becoming as snotty and hoity-toity as the high society!” Marimar then tells Fulgoso that although she loves him, his scent is also making her want to vomit so if he doesn’t mind, maybe he can sleep downstairs. Fulgoso then realises his mistress might be pregnant.
Perfecta finds Angelika who looks to be tired. She tells what she suspects about Marimar’s condition to which Angelika gets more alarmed. If Marimar could be pregnant this will make it even more difficult for her to separate her and Sergio. She tells Perfecta that no one must ever know about this new bit of information since she plans of getting rid of the child before it is even known to exist.
My take: How bad can you be to hurt even your own blood? Apparently Angelika is. Although she is stupid to let Innocencia be Sergio’s secretary in the first place. If I were her, I’d have offered my services as the father and son’s personal assistant that way, I get to be useful, and get to spend time with both my husband and my ex-BF.
Quotables: Renato, “I am your father and the CEO of this company.” Sergio, “Well I am the son of the woman who gave you this company.” (Taray!)
Angelika to Monica “Ano namang yang suot mo?” Monica, “Jenny from the block!” Angelika pointing at her friend’s hat “Ano to?” Monica “fatigue”. Angelika points to cap, blouse, pants, and shoes “fatigue, fatigue, fatigue...aba eh, over-fatigue ka na kadiri, so cheap!”
Angelika to Innocencia “Akin lang si Sergio at walang sinuman ang makaka-agaw sa kanya” (Such a bi-atch!)
Corazon to Marimar “Mag-bibi na kasi kayo para mayroon ka nang pagka-abalahan” Marimar, “Bibi?” Corazon, “Oo yung, bibi”, acts like she is carrying a child and rocking it sideways. Marimar “Ahhhh!” (hehehehe bibi pala tawag doon, kala ko kasi baby!)
Marimar to Fulgoso “Bakit ganun Fulgoso parang nasusuka ako pag nakaka-amoy ako ng masansang or malansa” Fulgoso “Isa lang ibig sabihin niyan Marimar, nagiging maarte ka na!”
Fulgoso to Marimar “Teka bakit parang pinipersonal mo na ako, maliligo ako bukas!”

Marimar - Episode 22
Episode 22 – The one with the girl fight
Marimar is preparing breakfast and asked Sergio to join her before leaving off for work but the surly husband just up and left leaving the crumpled pictures of Choi and Marimar on the table. Marimar got a good look at the incriminating shots for the first time and realized these were taken when she had that thing in her eye and asked Choi to help her blow it out.
Sergio is upset that his project proposal has not been taken up by the company. He asked Innocencia to follow it up and talk to the Finance Manager about his project. Sergio has a talk with one of them but the man admitted their hands are tied as Renato has control over all the finances of the resort. He advised Sergio to go and talk with his father.
Renato is worried over the financial state of his company when Angelika walks in on him in their bedroom. This upsets Renato, who immediately closed his laptop, asking her to knock before entering to which Angelika replies she didn’t know she had to knock first at her own room. Renato was quite apologetic and reasoned out that he just has a lot of things on his mind. Angelika took this chance to ask her husband to increase her allowance. Despite monetary problems, Renato agreed to do this, even double his wife’s allowance on one condition: that Angelika gets pregnant and have their child. Angelika is obviously against this but hides the truth from Renato.
We then see Renato in a meeting with his lawyer when Sergio walks in on them. Sergio wanted a meeting with him but Renato declined stating that he’s got a visitor and that they should talk later. Sergio apologized for butting in and left.
Angelika is at the Reception area and Monica slips her a pack of birth control pills. Her friend is afraid and asks Angelika why not just give in to Renato’s will of having a child. Angelika doesn’t want Renato’s child or have her body “ruined” by pregnancy but if it is Sergio’s then maybe she would be willing to go through it. Monica was quite afraid for her friend. Angelika declares that she can see all of this end in three different scenarios: a) that Sergio and her become lovers and keep their love affair a secret; b) that she would leave Renato and run away with Sergio; or c) that Renato can die leaving her and Sergio the heirs and they would be free to rekindle their romance. Despite Angelika’s confidence her friend remains in doubt.
Meanwhile Marimar is back at the souvenir shop and was apologizing to Choi for Sergio’s actions. Choi says he understood Sergio and explained to Marimar that it is just a normal reaction for any man to try and defend his honor and his wife's. Marimar was puzzled at how men show their feelings and just then, when she was about to touch Choi’s bruised cheek asking if it still hurt, a flash – like that coming from a camera – of light broke into the shop and Choi saw where it came from. He told Marimar to stay put as he goes out at captures Nicandro who didn’t even take long to divulge that he is but a mere servant following orders and the real perpetrator is Angelika. To this the angry Marimar sets off to find Angelika.
Monica is walking with Angelika and is convincing her friend to come with her to Manila to do some serious shopping. However Angelika declined and suggested to Monica to just go and but her something. Marimar saw them and confronted Angelika about the pictures. At first Angelika denies having to do with it but Marimar told her that they caught Nicandro who admitted that she is the mastermind behind all this. Angelika caught Marimar off-guard and was able to slap her and bring her down, with Monica’s help. Angelika scratched Marimar with her long fingernails and told her to go back to the dump where she belongs. The loyal Fulgoso was about to help his mistress when Fifi told him not to intervene as this is a human fight.
Marimar reasons that Angelika too came from an impoverished past and that they are the same. This angers Angelika more and hits Marimar all over. Having thought they had done their best damage, both women stand up to a gathering awestruck crowd to walk away. Just then, Marimar got up and pulled their hairs and retaliated with all her strength. She was able to give Monica a blow that kept her from joining the cat fight. She also was able to pull Angelika off her feet and was now dragging her around the Santibanez grounds, totally damaging her coiffured hair and immaculate clothing. Fifi was cheering for her devious owner to get up but Fulgoso reminded her that, like she said earilier, this is NOT their fight. Corazon and Perfecta are both rooting for their own favorites egging them on while Arturo looks on horrified.
Sergio is puzzled at the state of affairs of the resort. It is obvious that it made a lot of money according to the financial report but how is it possible that there seems to be a lot of financial problems lately, even to the point of not having enough money? Innocencia was about to reveal what she knew from overhearing Renato but just then, Sergio’s phone rang. It was Arturo telling him about the fight waging on between Angelika and Marimar. Sergio had to leave quickly so their talk would have to be postponed leaving Innocencia quite disappointed.
Meantime Marimar was pulled off the clearly beaten Angelika by Corazon and Perfecta. They are now at Sergio’s with Arturo and Choi looking on as Corazon attends to Marimar’s scratches. When Marimar thought out loud why Angelika would want to destroy her relationship with Sergio by setting her and Choi up – Arturo slipped by saying “Because she wants Sergio to herself.” All three were surprised at his statement and he managed to correct it with “Well you know the Santibanez fortune; she wants it all to her self.” Marimar states she does not care much for fortune and Angelika can have all this to herself, referring to villa Santibanez.
Angelika, Monica and Nicandro were at the beach area with Nicandro getting slaps from Angelika for squealing on her. The rascal asks for a chance to redeem himself but Angelika orders him to get lost. Monica is afraid about the consequences of being found out. She fears her friend will be the next to leave the villa. Unknown to them, Renato’s hired bodyguard is at a short distance eavesdropping.
Marimar and Sergio meet in the lobby where they embrace and Sergio inspects Marimar’s many scrapes. He asks her to tell him everything that happened. Marimar tells all beginning from the pictures, to catching Nicandro, to the fight with Angelika. Renato overhears Marimar and looks quite angry as he looks for his wife. Perfecta tells him that Angelika is in their room, hiding.
Sergio is solicitous in tending Marimar’s wounds with what appears to be some sort of healing ointment. Marimar admits that she can stand the pain scrapes and bruises give her, what she cannot stand is Sergio being angry with her. She said that this was the first time she saw him really angry and it scared her. Sergio apologizes to his wife for his rash behavior lately as he just has too much on his mind. He sits her on his lap and tells her to avoid Angelika who is nothing but trouble. When Marimar asks why she would like to destroy her and Sergio’s relationship, her husband feigns innocence. Then Marimar tells Sergio that he is the only man she loves and would do anything to keep them together. She declares that even if Sergio dies, she will never remarry and asks Sergio if he would ever remarry should she die before him. This leads to teasing and fooling around. All seems to be well in their relationship.
Meanwhile the opposite is happening in Renato’s and Angelika’s. We see that Renato had just beaten Angelika to which the young woman reminded her husband that he once swore that he would never hurt her physically. Renato replied if Angelika had been a faithful and loving wife, he would never hurt her. He loves her but she is still in love with Sergio and is now caught red-handed, plotting to get rid of Marimar to win Sergio back. Renato then made a decision to divorce her. This made Angelika kneel down and ask Renato for another chance. Renato still enraged, leaves her wife in tears.
The next day, Marimar and Angelika meet in the Reception area. Marimar asked Angelika to be friends with her and forget everything that happened in the past. Angelika told Marimar that she will only be friends with her if she returns to her pathetic little island and never return to villa Santibanez. Marimar is sad to know that she and Angelika will never be friends from then on.
My take: I love Marimar! I was at the edge of my seat egging her as she takes on two bi-atches and makes putty out of them. Go girl! Serves them right for plotting and scheming together to bring about Marimar's downfall. I know this victory would be quite short-lived as the two, well, definitely Angelika, would be devising more malicious plots for Marimar to go through. Oh I can’t wait for Marimar to discover who she really is and be filthy rich!
Quotables: Angelika to Monica, “Naiintindihan mo ba talaga?” Monica, “Konti, pero kinakabahan pa rin ako.” Angelika retorts, “Ano ka ba, konti lang naiintindihan mo tapos kinakabahan ka na?”
Looking forward to: 1) Marimar possibly being pregnant; 2) Sergio finding out about how poor they have become and 3) Angelika finding out that Innocencia had truly fallen for Sergio.
Marimar is preparing breakfast and asked Sergio to join her before leaving off for work but the surly husband just up and left leaving the crumpled pictures of Choi and Marimar on the table.

Episode 21
Season 1 – Episode 21 – The one where Sergio punches Choi
Angelika cooks up a plan to destroy the sweet relationship that Sergio and Marimar share. Using Nicandro, she asks the rogue to observe Marimar and Choi closely and should an opportunity arise wherein the two appear to be more than friends, Nicandro should take as many shots as he can and give them to Angelika.
Meanwhile Innocencia is falling for her kind boss, Sergio Santibanez. Sergio had been quite friendly with her even to the point of discussing her ex-boyfriend and giving her advice on how best to handle their relationship. When Sergio leaves, Innocencia follows him with a longing gaze and tells herself that there is no other guy as perfect as her boss.
That night, Sergio and Marimar fool around with a camera. Marimar had given Sergio the shell-encrusted picture frame she made with Choi’s help. She was telling Sergio how helpful and friendly Choi is to her and that she is happy to have found a friend in the young lad. Sergio asked Marimar that perhaps that’s one of the reasons why she hadn’t come looking for him the whole day, unlike before. Marimar replies that she is only kept busy by this particular knick-knack that she wanted to give him in the first place. Marimar teases her husband’s frown and tries to erase it off his face. This leads to Sergio taking a camera and asking Marimar to pose. The two then show sad, happy, funny and goofy faces as they take their photos. All is well with the young couple indeed.
The next morning, Marimar was setting up the table for breakfast when Choi arrives with a bunch of flowers. Marimar thanks Choi and Sergio insists that Choi must call his wife, Senorita Marimar, to differentiate her status from the rest of the staff as well as to put Choi in his place. Marimar dismissed the order explaining to Sergio that she really doesn’t mind being called simply as Marimar. Sergio was adamant when he said; he is the only one who should call her Marimar, being her husband. To this he dismissed Choi and asked Marimar to sit with him for breakfast. Marimar was teasing the now surly Sergio – calling him Senorito Sergio and serving him water. Sergio is beginning to suspect something about Choi’s extra care of his wife.
Meanwhile, Renato caught Innocencia lovingly gazing at Sergio’s picture. To this he subtly implied that even if Sergio is the young woman’s boss, he is still the one whom she should give her loyalties to – besides he is the one who employed her and is paying her salary. She silently agrees but you can see that she will continue to pine for the younger Santibanez who seemed to have already captured her heart.
Angelika receives some photos from Nicandro and she is quite pleased with the shots. She pays off the slimy Nicandro who even kissed the money her received. This along with an anonymous letter from a concerned employee, she had the enveloped left at the front desk for Sergio. Arturo sees Sergio and hands him the envelope. Sergio opens it and reads the note, then sees the pictures of Marimar and Choi. The shots show Marimar offering Choi some food and one that looked like they were about to kiss. In truth, this shot was taken by Nicandro when Marimar has something in her eye and Choi blew on the eye to get rid of the spec that was irritating it. But of course Sergio is enraged and rushes out to find Marimar.
Prior to this Angelika even encouraged Marimar to keep busy with the shell craft souvenir shops so at least she has something to do. She even intrigued Marimar that till now, Innocencia is always looking for Sergio and that the two have been spending too much time in the office together. Marimar insisted that she will try her best not to get jealous as she and Sergio had already talked about this. Although, she did admit to Angelika that she still feels jealous about Innocencia and Sergio being together all the time.
Marimar finds Choi and the souvenir shop about to have a break and they offer to have a snack with them. Marimar sits and starts eating and when she was about to eat a soupy merienda, she realized it was hot and immediately spat out the spoonful of scorching broth. Some spilled onto her dress and feet and Choi was helping her wipe them off. This was the scene that Sergio found the two in, to which he yelled “Choi, what the heck are you doing to my wife?!”, and punched the young man twice in the face. HE then grabbed Marimar but told off Choi to leave his wife alone. Choi’s face was bloodied as he followed the two walking away with a sorrowful gaze.
Sergio was still upset and confronted Marimar a short distance away asking her is she is doing something behind his back. Marimar defended that she isn’t doing anything wrong but Sergio said there are even pictures to prove her infidelity. Marimar is now in tears as she tries to deny the allegations. Sergio told her to avoid Choi and stop coming to the shop. Saddened, she however agreed, to ease her husband’s anger.
Back at the office, Sergio kept thinking back at how solicitous Choi had been to Marimar from the start, often giving her flowers and talking to her. He is full of jealousy and anger at the possibility of Marimar having a lover aside from him. He was in deep thought and didn’t hear Innocencia come in, until the latter had gently touched his hand. Innocencia apologized but explained that she just wanted to know if Sergio is alright. Sergio replied he’d been thinking about the project proposal he had given the Finance Department a week before he and Marimar left for the island. He said they were supposed to begin construction that very day but still no approval had come from Finance about the budget he needed to begin the project. Innocencia offered to follow up this matter with the head of Finance only to get back to Sergio saying that the project had been declined by his own father, Renato.
The scene cuts to Renato in a serious meeting with his lawyer. It seems that the resort is near bankruptcy and that the bank will no longer approve any loans from Renato. His last hope is the investors who will pump in the needed money for the resort to continue its operations. This however seems impossible to believe in as according to Sergio, he had seen last year’s financial reports and it showed a huge profit.
Natalia is nursing Choi’s injured face and cracked lips at the same time reprimanding him for being too friendly with Marimar. She said that Choi should be thankful that a couple of punches was all he got. She further insisted that Choi should be very careful from now on and truly avoid any form of contact with Marimar.
Marimar chose to air her ill feelings to the two people who matter most to her: Pancho and Cruz. She took the time to visit her grandparents and consult them about the reversal of the situation. Before she had been the one who was so jealous but now it is Sergio who is enraged. She told the elderly couple that someone had taken pictures of her and Choi and had shown them to Sergio – falsely accusing her and Choi of having an affair.
Meantime, Angelika called Nicandro to give him a bonus for a job well done and to keep on taking more pictures of the two. Monica is happy that her friend’s new plan is currently succeeding when Angelika commented that Monica seems to be well made up but had no plans of going out. It seems that Monica likes Angelika’s bodyguard and was trying to look her best for the silent hunk.
When Marimar returned to the villa, it was already dark and Sergio had been waiting for her so they can dine together. Corazon immediately left to leave the two alone. Marimar asked Sergio why he seemed to be still upset with her. She is now in tears and Sergio told her that next time, she must tell Sergio where she is going before setting off as she might get lost again and nobody would know where to find her. Again Marimar explained that she is not having an affair with Choi or anyone for that matter as she loves Sergio and him alone. This seems to further anger Sergio who asks Marimar to sit down with a decisive slap on the table. Marimar sits abruptly and tries hard to suppress her tears. Sergio declared that of all the things he hates, he detests being lied at and being made a fool of. Marimar was trying to explain she isn’t lying but seems to be unsuccessful in her attempts. Fulgoso resignedly drops his head on the floor sensing trouble brewing in their household.
Marimar confided to Angelika her problems with the jealous Sergio. Angelika seems to be siding with Marimar even encouraging her to keep her friendship with Choi as they are not doing anything wrong. She even cited as an example the continued relationship Sergio has with his secretary Innocencia.
Marimar chose to visit the shop again and see Choi who is obviously pleased to see her but also afraid for what might happen should Sergio find them together. While they were talking, Choi caught sight of Nicandro. They caught him and Nicandro explained that he is only doing this because someone asked him to do it. When Nicandro told who – we see Marimar confronting Angelika, demanding how she could do this to her when she thought that Angelika was her friend.
My take: Despite the flashbacks Sergio had gone through, he should be able to discern that those were very limited encounters between Marimar and Choi, surely not enough to suspect her wife of infidelity. Had he also looked more closely into the pictures, he’d be able to see that Choi is blowing into the eye of Marimar and not in the act of kissing his wife. However his jealous rage should make him realize how deeply he feels for his wife – even if he still cannot identify it as love. Also we can see the similarities between Sergio and Renato now. The Santibanez men love their women to be submissive, lacking in personality and perhaps to stand as trophies – existing only for them, ready at their beck and call. How can he expect Marimar to spend the entire day by herself whiles he is off to work for eight hours or more each day? Maybe he should arrange for her to have a tutor or attend school or training to give her a chance to discover her inclinations. This way, he doesn’t suspect his wife of being to idle to stray or play around.
Quotables: Angelika to Monica when she doesn't get what Monica was plotting "Umalis ka nga sa harapan ko at maghanap ng sarili mong kausap", and pushes off her friend. Again Angelika to Monica - “Akala ko kasi aatend ka ng Santacruzan,” referring to how heavily dolled-up her dense friend is. To this Monica replies, “Di ba sa May pa yon?” to which Angelika could only roll her eyes in exasperation.
Looking forward to: Angelika-Marimar confrontation scene with Monica helping Angelika in a girl fight. Now all we need is a boxing rink and a lot of mud....beer obviously should be served! Wooo-hooooh!
Angelika cooks up a plan to destroy the sweet relationship that Sergio and Marimar share. Using Nicandro, she asks the rogue to observe Marimar and Choi closely and should an opportunity arise wherein the two appear to be more than friends, Nicandro should take as many shots as he can and give them to Angelika.
Meanwhile Innocencia is falling for her kind boss, Sergio Santibanez. Sergio had been quite friendly with her even to the point of discussing her ex-boyfriend and giving her advice on how best to handle their relationship. When Sergio leaves, Innocencia follows him with a longing gaze and tells herself that there is no other guy as perfect as her boss.
That night, Sergio and Marimar fool around with a camera. Marimar had given Sergio the shell-encrusted picture frame she made with Choi’s help. She was telling Sergio how helpful and friendly Choi is to her and that she is happy to have found a friend in the young lad. Sergio asked Marimar that perhaps that’s one of the reasons why she hadn’t come looking for him the whole day, unlike before. Marimar replies that she is only kept busy by this particular knick-knack that she wanted to give him in the first place. Marimar teases her husband’s frown and tries to erase it off his face. This leads to Sergio taking a camera and asking Marimar to pose. The two then show sad, happy, funny and goofy faces as they take their photos. All is well with the young couple indeed.
The next morning, Marimar was setting up the table for breakfast when Choi arrives with a bunch of flowers. Marimar thanks Choi and Sergio insists that Choi must call his wife, Senorita Marimar, to differentiate her status from the rest of the staff as well as to put Choi in his place. Marimar dismissed the order explaining to Sergio that she really doesn’t mind being called simply as Marimar. Sergio was adamant when he said; he is the only one who should call her Marimar, being her husband. To this he dismissed Choi and asked Marimar to sit with him for breakfast. Marimar was teasing the now surly Sergio – calling him Senorito Sergio and serving him water. Sergio is beginning to suspect something about Choi’s extra care of his wife.
Meanwhile, Renato caught Innocencia lovingly gazing at Sergio’s picture. To this he subtly implied that even if Sergio is the young woman’s boss, he is still the one whom she should give her loyalties to – besides he is the one who employed her and is paying her salary. She silently agrees but you can see that she will continue to pine for the younger Santibanez who seemed to have already captured her heart.
Angelika receives some photos from Nicandro and she is quite pleased with the shots. She pays off the slimy Nicandro who even kissed the money her received. This along with an anonymous letter from a concerned employee, she had the enveloped left at the front desk for Sergio. Arturo sees Sergio and hands him the envelope. Sergio opens it and reads the note, then sees the pictures of Marimar and Choi. The shots show Marimar offering Choi some food and one that looked like they were about to kiss. In truth, this shot was taken by Nicandro when Marimar has something in her eye and Choi blew on the eye to get rid of the spec that was irritating it. But of course Sergio is enraged and rushes out to find Marimar.
Prior to this Angelika even encouraged Marimar to keep busy with the shell craft souvenir shops so at least she has something to do. She even intrigued Marimar that till now, Innocencia is always looking for Sergio and that the two have been spending too much time in the office together. Marimar insisted that she will try her best not to get jealous as she and Sergio had already talked about this. Although, she did admit to Angelika that she still feels jealous about Innocencia and Sergio being together all the time.
Marimar finds Choi and the souvenir shop about to have a break and they offer to have a snack with them. Marimar sits and starts eating and when she was about to eat a soupy merienda, she realized it was hot and immediately spat out the spoonful of scorching broth. Some spilled onto her dress and feet and Choi was helping her wipe them off. This was the scene that Sergio found the two in, to which he yelled “Choi, what the heck are you doing to my wife?!”, and punched the young man twice in the face. HE then grabbed Marimar but told off Choi to leave his wife alone. Choi’s face was bloodied as he followed the two walking away with a sorrowful gaze.
Sergio was still upset and confronted Marimar a short distance away asking her is she is doing something behind his back. Marimar defended that she isn’t doing anything wrong but Sergio said there are even pictures to prove her infidelity. Marimar is now in tears as she tries to deny the allegations. Sergio told her to avoid Choi and stop coming to the shop. Saddened, she however agreed, to ease her husband’s anger.
Back at the office, Sergio kept thinking back at how solicitous Choi had been to Marimar from the start, often giving her flowers and talking to her. He is full of jealousy and anger at the possibility of Marimar having a lover aside from him. He was in deep thought and didn’t hear Innocencia come in, until the latter had gently touched his hand. Innocencia apologized but explained that she just wanted to know if Sergio is alright. Sergio replied he’d been thinking about the project proposal he had given the Finance Department a week before he and Marimar left for the island. He said they were supposed to begin construction that very day but still no approval had come from Finance about the budget he needed to begin the project. Innocencia offered to follow up this matter with the head of Finance only to get back to Sergio saying that the project had been declined by his own father, Renato.

Episode 20
Season 1, Episode 20 – The one where Marimar got lost
Angelika and Monica bring MariMar to a shopping mall. They go off shopping while Marimar waits for them near a mannequin.
Meanwhile Sergio goes back to the office to find a crying Innocencia. He asks her to take a break with him to calm her down.
When Angelika and Monica got back, Marimar is still waiting for them beside the mannequin. Angelika reminded Marimar that she must go and look for a present for Sergio to which she acknowledges but reveals that she does not have any money with her. Angelika gives her twenty pesos and she thanks Angelika for being so kind to her. She asks them to wait while she goes looking for a gift for Sergio.
As soon as she left, the two also left. Marimar saw a batik shirt and wanted to but it but found out her money is not as valuable as Angelika made her think. Soon she realised that she had lost the two and the mall will be closing in five minutes.
She and Fulgoso were walking but both do not really know the way back home. They met a group of men whom Marimar asked whether they knew where villa Santibanez is. They told her to ride in the van and they will take her there. Marimar declared that she will only ride the van if they also let Fulgoso ride with them but they told her that they will just come back for him. Fulgoso sensing that something is amiss started barking and baring his teeth. Now the men are forcing Marimar to ride the van when Padre Porres intervenes and offers to take her home instead.
Meanwhile Angelika and Monica are back and Sergio is asking where Marimar is who was supposed to be with them. Angelika said they lost her when she tried to run after Fulgoso. Renato suspected that her wife had a hand at this latest plot to get rid of Marimar and told her so. Angelika pretends to be innocent and Monica disappears to escape Renato’s questioning.
Sergio and Arturo take the van to look for Marimar but the van broke down again. They were walking when they saw Marimar with Padre Porres. They two embrace happy to find each other and thankful that Marimar is in the safe hands of Padre Porres. The kindly priest offered to take them all home but since there is no space left for Arturo, he must find other means to get back – to this Marimar handed him the twenty pesos, if it could help.
Safe back in their home, Marimar teases Sergio as he works on his laptop. Sergio told Marimar not to trust Angelika and not go out with her anymore. He promised to take his wife shopping one of these days. Marimar defends Angelika still naicvely thinking that they're friends. Ready for bed, there's a cute scene of the two praying together before going to sleep.
Quotables: Mall saleslady to Marimar "Naku maam, try nyo sa nagbibenta ng yosi sa labas, baka dun makabili kayo ng kendi." When Marimar asked where she could buy anything that is worth twenty pesos. At least sarcastic man ang sagot, magaling pa rin ang dating ni saleslady.
Marimar praying "Diyos ko wag nyo na po sanang magalit sa akin si Sergio kasi po pag nagagalit sha, lumalaki po ang mata nya." To which Sergio asks, "Gaano kalaki?" while enlarging his eyes.

Episode 19
Season 1, Episode 19 – The one where Marimar and Sergio got rescued
Sergio awakes feeling better and looks on the sleeping Marimar. He’s been quite confused about his feelings for Marimar who is always open about her own feelings for him. He even went to the point of asking himself if he is indeed falling for his wife. His greatest fear is if Marimar ever finds out the true reason why he married her, she would surely be upset even lose all her feelings for him.
Angelika has been throwing her weight at the coast guards telling them to prioritize the search for Sergio. She's also been pressuring Innocencia to keep calling Sergio on his phone.
Marimar looks to be the efficient island camper managing to prepare fish and broth for the sick Sergio. She also found some herbs that she asked her husband to drink despite the bitter taste promising him of its curative values. He indeed got better and while stranded on an uninhabited island, they make the most of their situation and actually manage to enjoy their stay. Read that: music video with lots of scenes where Sergio and Marimar are running, swimming, hugging or kissing....
The sea patrol finds Sergio's speed boat, and informs Angelika who takes Monica with her to join them in their search for and rescue of Sergio. Just when Marimar asked Sergio if she truly does love her and Sergio about to give an answer, Angelika’s voice shouting for Sergiois heard by the two who immediately come out to meet them. Angelika is truly irritated at how sweet and loving Sergio and Marimar are towards one another. Angelika insists to have Sergio looked after by the medic and be given first aid but declined the offer, proudly saying that his wife took such good care of him and that he is quite well.
The staff were gathered at the lobby to welcome Sergio and Marimar back and Renato was quite annoyed to find out that his wife came with the coast guards to rescue Sergio. He even sarcastically mentioned that perhaps, Angelika was the head of the welcoming committee and told everyone to disperse and go back to their chores now that Sergio obviously is well and not in danger.
Angelika is incensed that Sergio and Marimar are getting too close for comfort and asked her side-kick Monica to go along with a new plan she has thought up. They invite Marimar to join her and Monica go shopping in the next town. Marimar was quite happy to go along, trusting that Angelika is her friend.
Monica and Angelika were saying “ever, ever” and Marimar asked them what “ever” meant. To this the dim-witted Monica replies, “Basta ever!” to which the mocking Angelika replies, “Hindi mo rin alam ano!”
Quotables: Renato to Angelika "Mananaghalian sana ako with my wife, only to find her off to rescue my son." Taray ha...

Episode 18
Season 1, Episode 18 – The one where Sergio got sick
Sergio wakes up from his unconsciousness and his phone rings. Marimar checks who is calling. Her anger returns when she finds out it was Inocencia calling Sergio, so she grabs his phone and throws it in the ocean. Sergio isn’t please with what Marimar just did, telling her it was their only way to call for help and not they are indeed stuck in the island. Marimar ignores him and continues to do so until the next day, talking only to Fulgoso and pretending that Sergio’s replies are just ill winds. While the two are stranded, Sergio and Marimar swim showing a beautiful underwater seascape full of colourful fishes and sea plants.
Sergio excitedly calls Marimar and Fulgoso stating he has caught a lot of fish. Indeed he has but such small fishes! MariMar does better, having only found two fishes but huge fishes were they that Sergio felt ashamed of his find and pretended to hide them by placing them in his pockets! Marimar chastise him for catching the baby fishes when they should have been given time to grow more. Fulgoso wisely scores Marimar a point and Sergio, bokya! (zero). Then we see Sergio rubbing two rocks together and muttering to a Fulgoso who is seriously watching him, “What good will two large fishes be if she couldn’t build a fire?” He attempts to make his fire spark to life but again Marimar calls Fulgoso while showing off a huge fire with one fish already done and the other being cooked. Fulgoso runs to his owner telling Sergio sorry, two points for Marimar and Sergio still zero. Sergio shouts to his wife that he is intending to eat his fish ala-sashimi style. Marimar asks what that means to which Sergio says that’s a Japanese style of preparing fish. Marimar doesn’t care, instead she teases Sergio how delicious and fresh her broiled fish is while giving Fulgoso a huge bite.
Then Sergio calls Marimar and Fulgoso to check out his finished hut. He says it is small but surely the three of them would be able to fit in it. Marimar tests its stability by blowing hard and since it did not topple, she agreed that his built hut is strong indeed. Then she shows off her creation, a much bigger, stronger and nicer hut. Sergio is obviously troubled at how better Marimar is than him and sulks in his hut all by himself. Marimar continues to tease Sergio and at first, she did not want to share any of her food to Sergio although she did save a huge part of the second fish just for him. She checks him out in his hut and discovers that he’s got a fever. She gives him food and convinces him to move to her bigger hut.
Meanwhile, Corazon is giving away excess food to the resort staff: Arturo, Choi and Natalie. They were also singing praises as to how beautiful and kind-hearted Marimar is with Choi particularly keen on hearing more from Corazon who is the closest to Marimar among the staff, much to the resentment of Natalie who has been harboring feelings for Choi for a long time. Natalie leaves quite upset and goes to her room where she speaks with her “strange” sister about her frustrations about Choi and how Marimar is making it worse.
Marimar gives the sick Sergio tender loving care and had laid him in her hut, promising not to be so jealous and more trusting of her husband.
My take: What's with Natalia's sister? Is she a mangkukulam or just plain loony? Natalia does appear to be on the loony side herself! Instead of telling of Choi, why not charm her way into his heart?

Episode 17
Season 1, Episode 17 – The one with the honeymoon
MariMar refuses to go back to Villa Santibañez even when Sergio came to apologise to her in her grandparent’s home. Lolo Pancho explained to Sergio that Marimar grew up never having to deal with feelings like jealousy as she was the center of both grandparents’ attention. She never had to deal with anger or frustration either being quite carefree and even naive on so many things. Sergio declares he does know and understand this. He said he’ll give Marimar some time to mull it over then come back to collect her. Pancho said he will talk to Marimar. Lola Cruz is already explaining to her young grand-daughter what a marriage should be – that being not just based on love but also trust. Ever the famous line “hindi parang kaning isusubo na kapag mainit at mapaso, ay pwedeng iluwa”. (not like rice that you eat that you can so easily spit out when it is hot).
Sergio returns to villa Santibanez in quite a sour mood. He is in deep thought when Angelika sees him and tries to flirt with him. She boldly tells him that Marimar is not the woman for him. He needs someone more sophisticated, more matured...when he sharply retorts, “and more scheming?” This stuns the often confident Angelika whom Sergio tells to go away. Just then Arturo arrives and asks him what’s the matter: to which he replies that he is not happy with the way Marimar seems to be upset with him. He is unable to think clearly and wants to settle this matter with his wife first. Just then, Renato calls him on his mobile telling him there’s a meeting with the investors and engineers and if he is interested in coming. Sergio declines saying he’s got matters to arrange first. Renato retorts that he’s just joined the company and should really make an effort to be consistent and work hard. However Sergio insists that he’s already done a lot but right now he needs to deal with a personal matter. Renato tells his son that he is really disappointed and ends the call. Arturo tells Sergio that perhaps he is now truly in love with Marimar seeing him so upset with them being apart. Sergio tells Arturo to prepare the boat and tell Corazon to prepare food good for a week. He plans to take his wife to an island where they can be together and spend their long-postponed honeymoon.
Innocencia has a visitor, her boyfriend who is asking why she has not even come to visit her sick mother. She gives him an envelope with lots of money. He suspects her saying that secretaries do not really earn that much, unless she is also sleeping with her boss. This angers Innocencia as she breaks up with her boyfriend.
MariMar tells Fulgoso that although she is angry with Sergio, she does miss him so. She feels like one that is torn between love and anger and that she feels like she is so confused and at the edge of getting insane. While she is thinking this out loud to her mutt, Sergio comes and takes his wife with him by force. Sergio tells Marimar that they are going on a week-long trip in another island but MariMar remains angered. The boat that Sergio and MariMar ride breaks down in the middle of the sea. He asks for Marimar’s help in fixing the boat but the latter just mimics his request in a sarcastic way and further tells him that she’s not going to help in any way as she is still angry with him. A strong rain comes, so MariMar, Sergio, and Fulgoso head to a nearby island. As they reach the island, Fulgoso who is afraid of thunder breaks into a run. MariMar runs after Fulgoso while Sergio shouts for her to wait. Marimar does not ever look back, Sergio slips and hits his head on the rocks without MariMar knowing this.
At the same time, the sleeping Angelika is awakened by Renato. She’s beeing crying in her sleep shouting Sergio’s name. She knows that something horrible has happened to Sergio and convinces Renato that they must go and look for him. Renato is upset by this and tells Angelika to stop any feelings she has for his son as she is married to him.
Marimar finally finds Fulgoso and they go and look for Sergio. She finds him unconscious by the shore with a deep cut on his cheek. She shakes him to wake up, worry clearly etched on her face.
My take: wow ha, that deep ba talaga ang feelings ni Angelika for Sergio, even to the point of knowing when something bad has happened to him? For someone as selfish as Angelika, should she be more self-centered than that?
MariMar refuses to go back to Villa Santibañez even when Sergio came to apologise to her in her grandparent’s home. Lolo Pancho explained to Sergio that Marimar grew up never having to deal with feelings like jealousy as she was the center of both grandparents’ attention. She never had to deal with anger or frustration either being quite carefree and even naive on so many things. Sergio declares he does know and understand this. He said he’ll give Marimar some time to mull it over then come back to collect her. Pancho said he will talk to Marimar.

Episode 16
Season 1, Episode 16 – The one with the dog food
When Marimar got trapped in the van Lola Cruz saw the box that contained Marimar’s necklace fall. Immediately she felt that something bad had happened to her granddaughter and told Pancho that they must go and see Marimar that same night. The old man advised her to let it wait until the morning as a storm is passing their way. She agrees but is visibly worried.
The next day Marimar wakes up and Corazon is beside her – happy to see her looking better than the night before. Marimar is afraid that Sergio might be angry with her for trying to drive despite not knowing how. She was thinking of ways to explain to Sergio her impulsive actions that almost caused her her life when Sergio arrives. At first Marimar is stunned to silence but she sees his husband is actually carrying a try of soup for her.
Meanwhile Lola Cruz arrived and is met by Angelika who orders Perfecta to prepare a special meal for Cruz. She tells Perfecta to serve Cruz with dog food. Perfecta obeys and Fifi is scandalised at how Cruz can eat her food which is supposedly not for humans. But the innocent old woman was enjoying her meal, even asking Perfecta to eat with her.
Angelika finds Sergio feeding Marimar soup and she mentions her grandmother is there to see her. She also reminded Sergio about the yatch trip he had planned with the investors. Marimar on hearing this pleaded with her husband if he could stay with her instead. He promised her that he will not go, further infuriating Angelika.
Marimar and Lola Cruz were reunited at Sergio’s flat. Marimar is back in bed and had fallen asleep with her grandmother with her. When he was sure Marimar is indeed asleep, Sergio calls Innocencia to hold the yatch as he is coming along.
Renato was very upset with the delay and finds out the reason why. Meanwhile Marimar sees off her grandmother and sees Angelika who tells her that Sergio is on the yatch with her beautiful secretary Innocencia. She asks Angelika to accompany her to the yatch and they got onboard. During the cocktail party in the yacht, Innocencia falls in the sea and is saved by Sergio. Marimar sees Sergio giving Innocencia mouth-to-mouth resuscitation but thinks that Sergio, even in front of her, is kissing his secretary Innocencia. Marimar gets mad and makes a scene, Sergio pleads her not to embarrass him to the investors so Marimar told him he can go back to Innocencia if he wants to, she is definitely walking out and returning to her grandparents' house.
My take: OK so she is as naive as a hillbily but surely she can see that CPR is not really kissing?! For one, Innocencia is not responding and how could you explain the heart-pumping Sergio does besides the mouth-to-mouth? Sana, di nya yon nakita, at yung actual M2M lang nakita nya then baka believable pa...

Episode 15
Season 1, Episode 15 – The one with the defective van
Marimar is pleased to find herself in her grandparents home but asks for Sergio. Cruz explained it was her fault as she misses her grandaughter so much that she asked Sergio to leave her with them for a while although Sergio promised to come back for Marimar that day. While Marimar was asleep, Cruz noticed patches of blood on her granddaughter’s clothing. She suspects that the two had just consummated their marriage the night before.
Marimar discloses to Cruz her happiness and how she now knows that Sergio indeed does love her and she cannot wait to be with Sergio again. She acquiesced to stay until after breakfast but declared she must get back to the villa to be with her husband after.
Meanwhile, Sergio meets his new secretary Inocencia. At first Sergio suspects about a conspiracy but seems to have softened after he finds out how efficient and hard-working Innocencia appears to be.
Knowing Marimar is not in Sergio’s flat, Angelika orders Perfecta to get the jewelry set that Sergio gave Marimar. After much tossing around of the bed, Perfect finds the jewellery hidden in a shoebox and brings it to her boss. Angelika praises Perfecta for a job well done while she ogles at the jewellery set had been wanting to possess for the longest time.
Marimar sneaks back into the resort and Fulgoso reminds her that they really do not need to sneak in anymore as everyone knows her to be Sergio’s wife. However Marimar feels self-conscious in meeting Sergio again in her state – she hasn’t bathe or changed clothing and didn’t want to disappoint Sergio when they meet again. So, seeing the sprinklers are activated, she asks Fulgoso to join her take a bath in the garden. She is screaming and running around happily, chasing Fulgoso when Sergio sees her. He smiles at the scene he is witnessing and calls to his wife, asking what she is doing. She explains that she’s been quite dirty and wanted to be clean before she sees him. He suggested a bath in their home but she reasoned she didn’t want to soil the floors. To this, Sergio runs after her and carries her home.
Now in a robe, Marimar helps Sergio dry himself up and Corazon bring in food for the couple. Sergio asked his wife to sit on his lap while they share their meal. Angelika sees the two quite happy to be together so she calls Innocencia to reprimand her for not keeping Sergio in the office.
Innocencia, afraid to suffer Angelika’s wrath calls Sergio on his phone telling him that he needs to attend to a meeting with the investors. Sergio grudgingly obliges apologizing to Marimar that he has to go but promised to be back as soon as possible.
Marimar was in the resort lobby when she sees Renato preparing to go fishing. As both share a passion for the sport, Renato invited Marimar to tag along. They were quite happy to share fishing tips and Marimar asked Renato if driving was easy. He told her it was quite basic and she should learn how to drive herself. They were on their way back when they met Angelika and Arturo on the road. The van they were using had problems. Renato asked his wife to ride with them, and Marimar opted to stay with the van to allow the couple some time to be by themselves.
Sergio was quite impressed at how Innocencia handled their investors. Seeing all seems well at the office, he told Innocencia to hold the fort as he wants to spend dinner with his wife. Innocencia, still following Angelika’s orders to keep Sergio away from Marimar, reminded his boss that they have planned a dinner with their investors. However Sergio left everything to her capable hands and left for home.
Marimar asks Choi if the latter can drive her around the resort to find Sergio as he promised to be back but still isn’t. Choi was about to drive her when Natalie calls Choi reminding him of a task that he must do. Alone in the van, Marimar tries to switch on the engine despite her lack of knowledge in driving. The van emits smoke, and Marimar in her panic locks herself up inside the van. Marimar tries to get out but is unable to find the button to unlock the van, now filled up with smoke. Sergio arrives in time with Arturo who runs off to get a duplicate key. Marimar passes out from inhaling too much of the gas. Sergio carries Marimar out but she is unconscious. He orders those around him to call a doctor quickly as he carries Marimar home.
My take: Seems like Renato has a tender spot for Marimar after all. He shows that he's not really that evil all the time, in fact, it would have been nice to see a longer scene with a Renato-Marimar bonding. Let's see how Sergio deals with that one.

Episode 14
Season 1, Episode 14 – The one with the packed lunch
Marimar is unhappy about not being able to see Sergio for long periods of time as the latter is lately quite busy with meeting the investors for their resort.
Angelika comes up with a suggestion for Marimar – why doesn’t she go and bring lunch to Sergio instead, that way she will be able to meet him. Excited and grateful for Angelika’s suggestions, Marimar sets off to ask for Corazons help in the kitchen. She helps Corazon prepare Sergio’s favorite food and packs it in a basket to take to her busy husband.
Sergio is in a closed-door meeting with their resort's foreign investors. Arturo accompanies Marimar to the meeting and implores the secretary to let them in. While Arturo is discusses with the secretary, Marimar sneaks in. She excitedly shares how she prepared lunch for Sergio but the investors and Renato see this as a nuisance and orders Sergio to send her away. Tensed and caught between the pressure of his father and the investors, he scolds Marimar because the latter just would not listen to his pleadings of leaving them alone. Hurt, Marimar goes back to her grandparents' island with Fulgoso.
Back in the island, Marimar does not show herself to her grandparents. She had just told them how great her life is at the Santibanez resort and she does not want them to worry about her. She hides on a nearby cliff as she emotes to Fulgoso about how Sergio had chastised her when she only wanted him to know that she loves him so much and how she took great pains to prepare that special lunch for him.
Sergio finds Marimars note in the lunch basket she left behind. He feels sorry for his harsh actions and goes looking for his wife. When he could not find him anywhere in or near the resort, he suspected she went to her grandparents. Sergio arrives at their home only to find out that Marimar has not been there. This alarms Pancho and Cruz, suspecting that the two had a quarrel.
Sergio finds MariMar and the cliff where he had proposed marriage to her. He apologises about his actions earlier and asks her to do anything that she wants, even slap him, in order to make her feel better. However Marimar does nothing of that sort instead she says that having Sergio with her, is more than enough to make her happy. Touched at how simple yet profound Marimar’s desires are, Sergio kisses his wife tentatively at first and more passionately as heavy rainfall engulfs them.
The two consummate their marriage for the first time. Later Marimar lies contentedly asleep, Sergio reprimands himself at what he has done. He shouldn’t have been so careless. Now he is in too deep and Marimar deserves a lot more than his empty promises. With his guilt still nagging at him, he carries the still slumbering Marimar back to her grandparents’ hut. He assures them that he will come back for her in the morning.
Pancho asked for Sergio’s confirmation whether he and Marimar did have a misunderstanding and the young man admits this. He said that they have patched things up now and that he will return for Marimar the very next day.
Meanwhile, Angelika plans to use Inocencia to lure Sergio and drive a huge rift between her ex-lover and Marimar.
My take: Bitin ata ako dun sa unang pagtatalik ni Sergio at Marimar. Panggulo pa yung ulan! More details please, next time!

Episode 13
Season 1, Episode 13 – The one with the expensive jewellery
Again Arturo finds Sergio asleep in the same place and wakes him up. Renato arrives and asks Sergio if he is really serious with his plans, to which the young man confirms. While fixing more files, he comes across a framed photo of his mother wearing expensive-looking jewellery. He asks Arturo to open the safe and he retrieves the jewelley set.
Sergio goes home to Marimar only to find her quite distressed that he did not spend the night with her. He apologises to his wife, explaining to her that he had a lot of things to do at the office because he wanted to take a more active role in the running of their business. As a pece offering, he gives Marimar the jewellery saying that this was given to him by his own mother who made him promise to give this to the woman he will someday marry. Since Marimar is his wife, this is rightfully hers now.
The set is a necklace, bracelet and a pair of earrings. Marimar who never really wore any kind of jewellery before, doesn’t have pierced ears to wear the earrings. To this Sergio calls the local nurse to pierce Marimar’s ears.
Sergio lovingly hugs Marimar and holds her hands as the nurse does the minor operation. “Parang kagat lang ng langgam yan!” he assures her (Just like an ant bite, nothing more). Once the first ear was pierced, Marimar implores if it is possible to just have one ear pierced suggesting she will just wear one earring at a time. Sergio gently coaxes her to have the other ear pierced as she needs to wear both.
Marimar was showing off her jewellery to Corazon who said she remembers when Sergio’s mom was the one wearing it. She assures Marimar that indeed Sergio must love her so, for giving her this heirloom. Angelika sees the jewellry and remembers a time when she was asking for the same set from Sergio. She was just Sergio’s girlfriend then when Sergio showed her the set. She had wanted it ever since but since it wasn’t Renato’s, she never got the chance to wear it.
Marimar visits her grandparents with a bag full of groceries. She assures them that she is well and that Sergio is taking good care of her. In fact, she just received an expensive jewellery set from her husband – but chose not to wear it as she might lose it.
Angelika confronts Sergio telling him to stop this nonsense he is doing with Marimar. She tries to tempt him, passionately kissing him to which Sergio pushes her away reminding her that he is married to her father. Sergio emphasizes that he is also a married man and that Marimar is his wife. Nicandro sees Angelika kissing Sergio and reports this to Renato. Nicandro even dared to advise Renato to have his wife heavily guarded, giving Renato an idea.
Meanwhile Monica sees Innocencia asleep by the Santibanez gate and takes pity on the young woman. She said she will try to talk to someone who may be able to help her to which Innocencia is thankful.
Renato warns Angelika not to cheat on him and assigns her a bodyguard. He also meets with Innocencia whom he seems to take a liking to. He tells her that any relative of Angelika is also a relative of his. Innocencia reveals that when Angelika’s mother left her father, they moved to the city where they lived with Innocencia’s family. When Angelika’s father died, her parents raised Angelika as their own making her like Innocencia’s elder sister. Now, Innocencia’s mother is in need of help being ill in the hospital. Renato promises to help Innocencia’s family.
Sergio is drinking and asks Marimar to join him. Marimar gets drunk and the two were quite playful. Angelika now with her new bodyguard and Monica see Sergio and Marimar drunken and flirting. Angelika wanted to stop them but she couldn't do anything because her bodygoard may tell Renato about it. Having left with nothing to do, she pushes her friend Monica off the cottage. Monica falls and sprains her ankle giving Angelika an opening to call on Sergio's help but he declined saying he has to attend to his drunken wife first.
Later Angelika sees Inocencia back at Villa Santibañez she was about to throw her out again when Renato declares that he has appointed Inocencia as Angelika's female bodyguard.
Meanwhile Marimar pukes on Sergio, prompting him to carry his wife home. When Marimar asks Sergio why he didn't help Monica, he sagely replied: "Eh selosa asawa ko eh."
My take: Sergio is indeed falling for the lovely Marimar, despite his conviction that it is just for show...pero parang OA naman yung mga linya nyang mag 'ankla-ankla' pa! But then, siguro nga lasing lang sha....naging so deep sa alak...

Since Marimar is his wife, this is rightfully hers now.
The set is a necklace, bracelet and a pair of earrings. Marimar who never really wore any kind of jewellery before, doesn’t have pierced ears to wear the earrings. To this Sergio calls the local nurse to pierce Marimar’s ears.
Sergio lovingly hugs Marimar and holds her hands as the nurse does the minor operation. “Parang kagat lang ng langgam yan!” he assures her (Just like an ant bite, nothing more). Once the first ear was pierced, Marimar implores if it is possible to just have one ear pierced suggesting she will just wear one earring at a time. Sergio gently coaxes her to have the other ear pierced as she needs to wear both.
Marimar was showing off her jewellery to Corazon who said she remembers when Sergio’s mom was the one wearing it. She assures Marimar that indeed Sergio must love her so, for giving her this heirloom. Angelika sees the jewellry and remembers a time when she was asking for the same set from Sergio. She was just Sergio’s girlfriend then when Sergio showed her the set. She had wanted it ever since but since it wasn’t Renato’s, she never got the chance to wear it.
Marimar visits her grandparents with a bag full of groceries. She assures them that she is well and that Sergio is taking good care of her. In fact, she just received an expensive jewellery set from her husband – but chose not to wear it as she might lose it.
Angelika confronts Sergio telling him to stop this nonsense he is doing with Marimar. She tries to tempt him, passionately kissing him to which Sergio pushes her away reminding her that he is married to her father. Sergio emphasizes that he is also a married man and that Marimar is his wife. Nicandro sees Angelika kissing Sergio and reports this to Renato. Nicandro even dared to advise Renato to have his wife heavily guarded, giving Renato an idea.
Meanwhile Monica sees Innocencia asleep by the Santibanez gate and takes pity on the young woman. She said she will try to talk to someone who may be able to help her to which Innocencia is thankful.
Renato warns Angelika not to cheat on him and assigns her a bodyguard. He also meets with Innocencia whom he seems to take a liking to. He tells her that any relative of Angelika is also a relative of his. Innocencia reveals that when Angelika’s mother left her father, they moved to the city where they lived with Innocencia’s family. When Angelika’s father died, her parents raised Angelika as their own making her like Innocencia’s elder sister. Now, Innocencia’s mother is in need of help being ill in the hospital. Renato promises to help Innocencia’s family.
Sergio is drinking and asks Marimar to join him. Marimar gets drunk and the two were quite playful. Angelika now with her new bodyguard and Monica see Sergio and Marimar drunken and flirting. Angelika wanted to stop them but she couldn't do anything because her bodygoard may tell Renato about it. Having left with nothing to do, she pushes her friend Monica off the cottage. Monica falls and sprains her ankle giving Angelika an opening to call on Sergio's help but he declined saying he has to attend to his drunken wife first.
Later Angelika sees Inocencia back at Villa Santibañez she was about to throw her out again when Renato declares that he has appointed Inocencia as Angelika's female bodyguard.
Meanwhile Marimar pukes on Sergio, prompting him to carry his wife home. When Marimar asks Sergio why he didn't help Monica, he sagely replied: "Eh selosa asawa ko eh."
My take: Sergio is indeed falling for the lovely Marimar, despite his conviction that it is just for show...pero parang OA naman yung mga linya nyang mag 'ankla-ankla' pa! But then, siguro nga lasing lang sha....naging so deep sa alak...
Episode 12
Season 1, Episode 12 – The one where Sergio Introduces Marimar to the Staff
After their romantic hot tub scene, Sergio carries MariMar to their bed and showers her with tender kisses. He tells his wife to sleep while he attends to other things first. Despite wanting Sergio beside her, she lets him go and obediently sleeps by herself. Sergio is at the veranda, drinking beer while contemplating on his decisions these past few weeks. On another veranda, a moody Angelika chain-smokes. Renato calls for her to come to bed but she said she’s just finishing her cigarette. Later Sergio goes back to their bedroom and watches Marimar sleep. There’s this cute-kilig scene where Marimar takes Sergio’s arm and wraps it around herself and sleeps with both their hands clasped together. Sergio is absorbed in deep thought as he stares into their clasped hands which wears their wedding rings.
The next day, Marimar awakes to find Sergio gone. She meets Corazon who gives her a bag of clothes and her breakfast. Marimar eats heartily prompting Corazon to tease her about her first night with Sergio. Marimar reveals that nothing realling happened between her and Sergio last night. In fact she slept quite early and Sergio left, saying he had other things to do. This confuses Corazon and makes her plot to bring Marimar and Sergio together.
Meanwhile Sergio is woken up by Arturo. He had fallen asleep in his mom’s office desk. He intends to take an active part in the management and development of the Santibanez resort and is catching up on the many reports he’s missed in the many months he’d spent abroad. Arturo asked him why he seems to be avoiding Marimar and he explains that he has no intentions of consumating his marriage with Marimar given that he only wanted to get back at his father and Angelika. He does like Marimar and cares for her so if he does not go beyond their contact at present, he would feel much better as she wouldn’t be as hurt than if they had been more intimate.
For lunch, she gives the couple a huge platter full of seafood aphrodisiacs to which Marimar declines stating that those are her friends. She asks for chicken instead while Sergio feasts on the colorful and delicious looking lunch.
He then formally introduces Marimar to the resort staff when Renato arrives and shows his displeasure as to how Sergio seems to be upstaging him. Angelika tells Renato that she finds Sergio a better husband to Marimar than Renato is to her for at least Sergio introduced Marimar to the staff as his wife while Renator never really did that for her.
Corazon overheard Sergio set a massage appointment with the resident masseuse, and took Marimar to the spa. Conniving with the masseuse, Corazon had arranged for Marimar to take the place of the masseuse when it is Sergio’s turn to be massaged. This way, the newlywed will have the opportunity to be on their own and perhaps have that “union” that seems to be lacking.
Meanwhile, Angelika and Monica are set to go out shopping when a cousin of Angelika’s, Inocencia (Nadine Samonte), seeks her help but Angelika sends her away threatening her cousin that should she see her again in the premises, she will not think twice about running her over.
Sergio arrives at the spa that causes both Corazon and the masseuse to leave Marimar abruptly. She hides herself as Sergio enters and lies on the table. With his back to Marimar, he does not know that it wasn’t their regular masseuse who was massaging him. He urges the masseuse to press harder when Marimar speaks “But I don’t really know if I’m doing this right!” Startled, Sergio sits up and is clearly amused at to how far Marimar would go just to please him.
Facing the standing Marimar, Sergio asked her is she really wanted to learn how to do massages. She says yes and he places her hands on his shoulders. He pulls her into a tender embrace and just when the mood is about to become romantic, Sergio feels the beginning rumbles of his stomach. He remembered his lunch of seafood indulgence and leaves Marimar quickly.
Thus, round two is lost leaving Marimar to sleep all alone in bed and Sergio sleeping in his mother’s desk in the guise – well not really – of an upset stomach.
Quotables: Marimar to Sergio on the seafood platter "Sige ikaw na lang kumain, mukhang mga magulang yan ng mga kaibigan ko sa dagat eh." How could she tell? Oh well...

Episode 11
Season 1, Episode 11 – The one about Marimar’s Party
Angelika is busy fixing Marimar’s face, giving her make-up and advise on how to behave in the party. Monica and Fifi look on surprised at how naive Marimar is.
When the guests arrived, Angelika present Marimar to them. She looked like a clown in her overly-made-up face and a very unflatering smock. Despite this, Sergio proudly introduces Marimar to everyone as his wife which only angered Angelika more.
She then tasked Monica to talk to Sergio while she makes Marimar drink some alcoholic beverages. Not used to drinking, Marimar gets drunk immediately. Playing on her innocence, Angelika told Marimar that Monica is in love with Sergio and in fact the two are talking and flirting with one another.
This causes Marimar to be enraged as she attacks Monica and Sergio. The guests were in shock. In the scuffle, Sergio accidentally pushes Marimar and she fell into the pool. This caused Marimar to lash out at the guests asking whether it’s their first time to ever see a wet woman. Sergio asks her to come away with him but she refuses, saying this is her party and she will do whatever she wants. Renato, feeling quite embarrased, asked Sergio to take car of his wife and not create more scandal. He sees Angelika and Monica who seemed to be in a celebratory mood and suspected whether her wife had a hand in this.
Meanwhile Sergio carried off Marimar to his pad and was calming her down. He told her he needs to go back to the party to bid the guests farewell and will be back soon. He left Marimar to the able hands of Corazon (Manilyn Reynes) who convinces Marimar that she needs a nice warm bath.
In the bathroom, Marimar is enjoying the bubbles when she accidentally turned on the jacuzzi causing her to scream about a monster in the water. Sergio who was apologising to guests and saying his farewells heard this and he ran to Marimar’s rescue. He smiles as he discovers what it was that scared her and when he bent to turn off the jacuzzi, he slipped and fell into the bath with his wife.
Their eyes locked and Sergio asked Marimar not to look at him that way. “What way”, she asked and he replied, “That way when you look like you want me to kiss you.” Marimar admits, “but I do want you to kiss me”, and just when they were about to kiss, Angelika with Renato hot on her heels pushes open the bathroom door.
Sergio asks for a bit of privacy and the clearly disappointed Angelika steps back. Renato agrees and declares that all seems well and that they should leave the two lovebirds on their own.
Sergio and Marimar continue where they were abruptly interrupted leaving Angelika to worry that Sergio seems to have indeed fallen for Marimar.
My take: Maldita talaga si Angelika but Katrina is getting better at acting ha. Also Monica is not as dim-witted as you'd think, giving her flirtiest best to Sergio. But sana pumili naman sila ng maganda-gandang mga guests kuning-kuning....eh kahit mukhang clown si Marimar at losyangeisha ang kasuotan, eh mas maganda pa rin sha sa mga guestings in gown. Mas mga mukhang dukha naman ang mga guestings! Next time, find better looking talents - kahit extra 0 yung papasa naman miembro ng alta sociedad!
Pero every shameful scene on Marimar's part and every ugly guest forgotten when that bathtub scene came on screen. Hay.....it sizzles....the heat is palpable, parang gusto ko rin mag-bubble bath!
Quotables: Marimar screams "Bakit, ngayon lang ba kayo nakakita ng babaeng basa?" Ang taray! And I love her when she put het foot down and declared "Di ako aalis, di pa party ko ito?" Go girl!

Episode 10
Season 1, Episode 10 – The one where Marimar and Sergio gets married
Marimar, Fulgoso, Pancho and Cruz were early at the Mayor’s office for Sergio and Marimar’s wedding. It is a happy day for these simple folks. Cruz laments that Marimar and Sergio are only getting a civil ceremony. Had it been up to her, she would have preferred a church wedding. However Marimar assured her that maybe after a year, she and Sergio will get a church wedding. The family then sat and waited for Sergio to arrive.
Angelika is in a bad mood because today is Sergio’s and Marimar’s wedding day but she is trying not to be too upset as Renato is keeping a careful eye on her. He even went on to tease Angelika whether they should attend or not. Renato is obviously enjoying how anxious and stressed Angelika is about all this.
Meanwhile Marimar and party have been waiting a long time for Sergio to arrive. The mayor told them that is Sergio does not arrive by noon, he will have to go because he’s got to keep an engagement in another town. Marimar is worried and close to tears but Cruz assures her despite not being too successful about it that Sergio will come and Marimar should have more faith.
Arturo enters Sergio’s room to see him on the floor, drunk and asleep. He wakes him up and reminds him that today is his wedding day. Sergio wakes up with an obvious hang over.
Marimar is now crying and wondering why Sergio stood her up. The mayor is about to leave when Sergio arrives and apologises to Marimar for being so late but assured her that they are getting married. He wipes her tears and asked the mayor to proceed with the ceremony.
Sergio takes Marimar to live with him in the Santibanez villa despite Renato and Angelika’s evident dislike of his new bride. Angelika takes a different route in ruining Marimar. She asks Marimar to be friends and bury the past. She then tells Marimar that she will hold a special party for her to introduce her to their circle of friends. Marimar thanks Angelika for her kindness.
Meanwhile Monica and Angelika proceeds with their plans of ruining the innocent Marimar.
My take: Had it been me, I'd have walked out the minute the groom is late. But well this is soap on TV and yeah...at bit over the top but well he did come, biceps and all so alright. Marimar is truly naive...but I guess that's how the story goes.

Episode 9
Season 1, Episode 9 – The one where Marimar dreams of a wedding tragedy
Sergio arrives just in time to save Marimar from being raped by Nicandro. Sergio beats Nicandro and the beaten maniac ran away. Sergio gently wakes Marimar and when she woke up, she asks Sergio is he does loves her. He answers her with a tender hug and kisses.
When he asks her what caused her to leave her grandparents home, she cries about her ruined dress. Sergio laughs and assures her that she will have the most beautiful wedding dress she could ever want. He then takes Marimar to a wedding planner and they had a happy time choosing the best wedding gown.
Marimar shows off her beautiful new wedding gown to her grandparents and asks for Cruz to forgive her for ruining her old dress. Both elders asked her where she got her new dress and she happily declared that Sergio helped her choose it. Both grandparents were quite upset that they didn’t seem to be following tradition. According to custom, a groom should not see his bride in her wedding dress before the wedding day, otherwise this would cause bad luck. Marimar was quite upset about this and hurriedly took off her gown.
Sergio talks to Arturo about what happened to him, Angelika and Renato earlier that day and confides his hesitation about pushing through with his wedding plans. He is getting married in the morning.
Later that same evening, Marimar wakes up from a bad dream: it was her wedding day and on the altar she and Sergio are being married by Padre Porres with Pancho, Cruz, Fulgoso and Arturo as witnesses. They are about to kiss as husband and wife when an unknow woman shows up with a gun and shouts to stop the wedding. She then fires her gun at Marimar.
Lola Cruz assured Marimar that it is only a bad dream and that tomorrow, she will have a happy wedding day.
My take: Parang naligaw yung character ni Ashley Calibre (Katrina's role in Lupin) sa dream/nightmare wedding ng Marimar. Di nga kaya matuloy ang kasal?

Marimar is washing her wedding dress to make sure that it is sparkling white on her wedding day. She is talking excitedly to Fulgoso when she accidentally rips the lacey part of her dress. Troubled, she rushes off in search of Sergio to ask his advise about where to find a tailor who can fix her now-ruined dress.
On her way, she meets Nicardro who had been harboring a mix of lustful feelings and vengeance for Marimar. He pretends to be sorry for his harshness and asks Marimar if they could be friends. He offers Marimar a bottle of juice he had previously mixed with sleeping pills. When Marimar accepts his apology and offers her friendship, he encourages Marimar to drink the juice to which she obliged. She got dizzy and Nicandro carries her to an empty cottage. Fulgoso runs to look for Sergio at the villa Santibanez.
Angelika in desparation to stop the wedding goes to Sergio’s room and kisses Sergio passioantely. Renato arrives and sees the two lip-locked.

Sergio implores Angelika to choose him but Angelika chose Renato instead. This caused Sergio to walk out and he sees Fulgoso who seems to be asking him to follow his lead.
My take: Parang masarap na nakakatakot maging Angelika. Imagine two gorgeous hunks are fighting over you. Ba't di na lang kasi sila mag-share...like Brooke Logan in the Bold and the Beautiful...diba mag-ama din sina Ridge and (forgot father's name).

Episode 7
Season 1, Episode 7 – The one where Angelika bribes Marimar
Angelika tells Marimar that Sergio comes from a rich family and would prefer a more sophisticated wife. She gives out at check of five million pesos to bribe Marimar into not going through with the wedding. Seeing how her grandmother seems to be ill, Angelika pushed Marimar that with five million she could do a lot of things, especially help her sick grandmother get better. But Marimar returned Angelika’s check saying that although they are poor and needed money her love is not for sale. She loves Sergio and she will marry him. This upsets Angelika who leaves immediately.
Marimar is at the Santibanez villa waiting for Sergio when Nicandro spots her. He approaches her and tells her that she has caught a big fish in the person of Sergio. Nicardro asked her how she did it? Whether she used her “charms” and Marimar is obviously confused about what Nicandro is talking about. He continues to harrass Marimar, even went as far as snatching her arm and asking for a kiss. This enrages Marimar and Fulgoso who barks loudly and bit Nicandro on the leg. Sergio saw this and tells Nicandro to get his hands off Marimar. He also reprimands the man that should this happen again, he will be searching for a new job. Nicandro swear vengenace on both Marimar and Fulgoso.
Marimar tries to teach Sergio to dance but the young man admits to having two left feet when it comes to dancing. She shows his her moves and encourages him to follow her. He dances consciously and he sees how natural all this comes to Marimar. They hug and kiss again with Marimar expressly admiting her love for Sergio. This stunned Sergio who was unable to say the same thing to Marimar. This gives a cloud into their happy day – with Marimar left thinking that maybe Sergio does not really love her...but how come he asked her to marry him if he didn’t?
Angelika tells Monica that Sergio is only using Marimar to make her feel jealous but she is certain that Sergio still loves her. She is thinking of a way to get rid of Marimar so that she will have Sergio all to herself like before.
Meanwhile Renato confronts Angelika about a matter worth five million pesos. This amount had been taken off their joint savings. Angelika said she took it but did not use it and that the money is still available. Renato warns her about her feelings for Sergio and that he will kill her first before she ever betrays him.
Renato asked Monica out for lunch and interviews her about what Angelika has been telling her about Sergio.
My take: You relly begin to dislike Angelika at this point but pity her at the same time at how she's being treated by Renato.

Seeing how her grandmother seems to be ill, Angelika pushed Marimar that with five million she could do a lot of things, especially help her sick grandmother get better. But Marimar returned Angelika’s check saying that although they are poor and needed money her love is not for sale. She loves Sergio and she will marry him. This upsets Angelika who leaves immediately.
Marimar is at the Santibanez villa waiting for Sergio when Nicandro spots her. He approaches her and tells her that she has caught a big fish in the person of Sergio. Nicardro asked her how she did it? Whether she used her “charms” and Marimar is obviously confused about what Nicandro is talking about. He continues to harrass Marimar, even went as far as snatching her arm and asking for a kiss. This enrages Marimar and Fulgoso who barks loudly and bit Nicandro on the leg. Sergio saw this and tells Nicandro to get his hands off Marimar. He also reprimands the man that should this happen again, he will be searching for a new job. Nicandro swear vengenace on both Marimar and Fulgoso.
Marimar tries to teach Sergio to dance but the young man admits to having two left feet when it comes to dancing. She shows his her moves and encourages him to follow her. He dances consciously and he sees how natural all this comes to Marimar. They hug and kiss again with Marimar expressly admiting her love for Sergio. This stunned Sergio who was unable to say the same thing to Marimar. This gives a cloud into their happy day – with Marimar left thinking that maybe Sergio does not really love her...but how come he asked her to marry him if he didn’t?
Angelika tells Monica that Sergio is only using Marimar to make her feel jealous but she is certain that Sergio still loves her. She is thinking of a way to get rid of Marimar so that she will have Sergio all to herself like before.
Meanwhile Renato confronts Angelika about a matter worth five million pesos. This amount had been taken off their joint savings. Angelika said she took it but did not use it and that the money is still available. Renato warns her about her feelings for Sergio and that he will kill her first before she ever betrays him.
Renato asked Monica out for lunch and interviews her about what Angelika has been telling her about Sergio.
My take: You relly begin to dislike Angelika at this point but pity her at the same time at how she's being treated by Renato.
Episode 6
Season 1, Episode 6 – The one where Sergio introduces Marimar to Renato and Angelika
Sergio brought Marimar to the Santibanez mansion to introduce her to Renato and Angelika. When Renato found out who she was, he reprimanded his son for his poor choice of a wife. Sergio retorted that nothing is wrong with his choice, his mother who had passed away herself chose a poor fisherman to be her husband. This caught the ire of Renato who didn’t want to be reminded by his own son about his impoverished past.
Sergio gave Marimar better fitting shoes and invited her to dine in a restaurant. When the latter found eating difficult using cutleries, Sergio tells the waiter to remove all cutleries as they have decided to eat with their hands. This pleased Marimar and surprised many of the other diners. The two however didn’t care and ate to their hearts content.
Marimar visits Padre Porres telling him about her marriage plans. She also asks the priest to teach her to write her and Sergio’s name so she is able to sign properly on her marriage contract.
Later, Marimar and Sergio were together and Marimar shows him what she’s learned. She also draws a picture of her and Sergio with a huge heart in the middle. This pleases Sergio as he hugs and kisses Marimar tenderly.
Sergio confides to Arturo how he likes Marimar but still loves Angelika. However he does not really want to go through with the wedding because he does not want to hurt Marimar. He is in a serious pickle on how he would be able to continue hurting and upsetting his parents without having to go through with the wedding.
Meanwhile Cruz gives Marimar a present, her wedding dress which she wore on her own wedding. She tells Marimar that a few adjustments are needed then the dress will be ready for Marimar to use. While sticthing the dress, Cruz got a dizzy spell which alarmed Pancho and Marimar. Marimar runs to Padre Porres and asks for advice as well as some medicine to help her grandmother. The priest tells her that maybe she should take her grandmother to a hospital to get a proper check-up to know what is really wrong with her. Being poor, Marimar said that this would be quite impossible to do as where would they be able to find the money to go through the expensive tests and medication. She goes home to find an unexpected visitor.
Quotables: Renato to Sergio "Ano ba naman yang babaeng pakakasalan mo? Alalahanin mo isa kang Santibanez."
My take: I like the way Sergio stands up for Marimar. If he is only using her to serve his purpose, napaka-gallant naman nya. He can use me anytime!
