Mundo de Fieras (or "Degenerates on Display") Friday 10/27/06
Karen recognizes Dolores at the mausoleum as the nun that she met at the hospital and demands to know why she tricked them all.
Demian, Tiberio and Juan Cristobal are going to eat together in order to celebrate him eventually coming to work at his father’s business. They make a toast to JC and Tiberio jealously thinks to himself what a big farce this all is. He knows Demian too well and figures he is up to something. JC, for his part, is just trying to fit in somehow and please his momma.
Mariangela tells Jos she feels like she’ll become another wild animal if she continues working there, but if so she warns Jos that she would be ready to do whatever it takes to protect herself. Gabe walks in a bit after and says Jos just told him she’s planning to stay after all. Mariangela says she is only because Little Lui needs her; she promised in order not to abandon him.
Jos is talking with Miriam at the fashion house. Miriam has put somebody on Dolores to keep her under control but it would only upset Jos she says if she told her who that somebody was.. Jos says she’s done everything as Miriam asked and hopes to God that things work out as they hope. Miriam assures her daughter that things will turn out. She then suggests that Jos go back to her dance classes to take her mind off things. (I still think some calmantes are a better choice.)
Dolores tells Sister Remedios about the day that her brother died. How surprised she was to find an urn full of “his” ashes when she knows full well they never found Edgar’s body. She went looking for help in the boat and when she got back with the authorities, they immediately thought that it had been planned, and they blamed her for the murder since she didn’t have a good enough alibi.
Demian is thinking to himself that he’ll have to get close to Delores to keep her under control. He muses that she never realized he was the mastermind of the plot to kill her brother. At that point Dolores pays a surprise visit to Demian’s office dressed in a fashionable black suit rather than her nun’s habit. Demian still thinks he’s got her in the palm of his hand. Delores explains she’s still determined to win Tiberio’s affections, but Demian taunts her about Tiberio not appreciating it when he finds out she’s a convicted murderer and of her own brother. She then insists he recognize his oldest son officially. Demian responds that Tiberio has lacked for nothing all this time. Then he makes a pass at her, grabbing at her (Roman hands and Russian lips...or something). She looks like a deer in the headlights, but manages to gain control of herself. She tells him whatever there was between them no longer exists and she breaks free. He laughs that loud, wicked laugh of his at her discomfort as she races out of the room.
Jos goes to the dance studio and meets Dider, a new dance instructor whose specialty is Carribean choreography. We get to see the two of them later doing a duet in the class. --Nice, simple choreography and performance, except what is it with the gratuitous doggy-style bump and grind everybody simply has to add into dance routines these days? Fred and Ginger never did that!
Demian finds out from Tiberio that he’s overheard Gabe has bought the adjacent land to one of his real estate developments and plans to build public housing on it. This infuriates Demian because it will cause upset wealthy investors to run out on him. No one will want to put venture capital into something like that and he’ll lose his investment.
Gabe gets a call from the doctor’s office telling him that Luisito’s tests have come back and they’ll be able to operate right away. Gabe is relieved and excited to get home and tell his little boy the good news.
A bit later Mariangela is leaving the mansion and about to shut the gate when Demian with his entourage of bodyguards accost her. He demands to know who she is. Mariangela is shocked to see a Gabe look-alike with a patch on his eye yelling at her. She introduces herself and tells him that Gabe isn’t in right now. Demian leers at her and gives her the once-over at least twice or thrice and keeps remarking ad nauseum about her beauty. Just then Gabe drives up and the two brothers argue over Gabe’sproposed public housing project. Demian threatens and demands his brother halt the construction; they sneer and shout insults back and forth and then Demian leaves.
Gabe tells Mariangela, Paulina and little Lui that he is going to be operated on since the tests came out alright.
Otilia and her husband argue. She warns him not to threaten her. She’s off to buy a bit of property for the little business she’s told him about earlier. Thanks to Miriam’s huge check to silence her that she waves in front of his nose, she now has sufficient for it to work. She walks out the door and tells him he looks handsomer than ever and puts a bony finger peck on his lips from hers (a really irritating gesture). He looks bewildered and is speechless.
Regina confronts Juan about Paulina and tells him she spoke to her and told her he is still madly in love with her.
Dider asks Jos back to his place after class, not to see his etchings, but to taste some of his homemade Carribean coolers. (Now that is a new one.) They drink and flirt and he turns the lights low and flips on his CD player for some Carribean tunes. (I half thought he was going to dance a solo for her in the living room the way he was girating while making his moves on her.) Dider takes his shirt off while Jos leers lasciviously. Then there’s an unexpectedly tasteful, if corny, fade to black. When Jos arrives home, she’s drunk as a skunk and lies to Gabe about having been out with a couple of old girlfriends she hadn’t seen in a while.
Rogelio finds a jeweler to buy the necklace off him for quite a nice sum. He tells the guy that it was inherited from his mother and that things are tight financially so he needs to sell it. The jeweler says if Rogelio has any more where that came from he’ll buy them as well. Afterwards, the sly dog shows a picture of the original to a back-room counterfeiter to make him an exact duplicate.
Regina makes a call to Gabe to tell him that JC is hopelessly in love with Paulina and she’s worried that the two will be reliving the same bitter tale as theirs. He says Paulina seems to be well over JC and the two of them shouldn’t interfere. It is JC and Pau’s business and they’ll have to work it through.
Miriam tells Karen that she’s opening a branch and she must call the realtor to go ahead to buy it. However, Otilia has found out about the property and she buys it on the spot with a huge check. When Karen calls the realtor says they waited a bit too long to decide and it is sold. Miriam gets on the phone and begins to complain so when Otilia hears her name she gets on the phone and mocks and insults Miriam. Otilia warns her that she has scarcely begun, the property negotiation is just the first of a number of little surprises she has for Miriam. Otilia is going to counter every step Miriam takes from here on out. For once Miriam is speechless! (I think she has finally met her match in Otelia!)
Tiberio takes Belen to another bar for cocktails after work, while Simona worries that her daughter still hasn’t arrived home. (Momma, the girl’s got a job, so she can afford a cell now, or at least a pre-paid phone-card for emergencies, don’t ya think?) Belen complains she doesn’t like the alchohol but she doesn’t want to be discourteous so she drinks it. --Apparently Tiberio is one of those guys that figures “candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker” so he keeps pushing them at her. While they are there, Tiberio turns around and sees Rogelio walk in at the far entrance with two women on his arm. Tiberio sees Rogelio meet a guy at the bar (the mobster Rog owes), take out a fat wad of bills and hand them over to the mobster who then leaves the bar with his goon squad. Tiberio smiles knowingly, wondering what he might do with this bit of tid.
Gabe though, does try to discuss JC with Paulina but she pretends it just doesn’t matter anymore and says that JC perhaps never really loved her anyway.
Paulina takes Little Lui to her office to see where she works. JC walks in and meets him, thinking that the little tyke has got to be his brother.
Miriam complains to Clemente about seeming to prefer Mariangela over Joselin. He defends his actions saying she needs him more right now. At that moment, in the middle of their discussion, Miriam receives a threatening phonecall from Otilia blackmailing her, “If you get this way about a business site, what do you think will happen when Clemente learns that Joselin isn’t his daughter?” She hangs up.
Leo tells Mariangela that he realizes although he loves and adores only her, he’ll have to suit himself with seeing her happy though it might be with another man. He wants to make sure she doesn’t fall for the wrong man. At the same time Gabe is telling himself he has nothing to offer Mariangela because he is not free.
Juan explains to his mother the new problem about the adjacent development properties of Demian and Gabe’s. She remarks that this will only extend the confrontations between the two. She wonders aloud why Demian hates his twin so much. Juan is amazed at such a question and impulsively yells back at her, “Are you sure you don’t know why?” Regina naively asks him where that question came from. He says well she told him herself she still loves Gabriel and she swears then that it is a chaste love and always has been.
Dider comes to see Jos at the offices of Miriam’s fashion house. She thinks he’s come to tell her of the wonderful memories he has of the night before. Dider assures her that he dreamt about her all night long, but his memories aren’t recorded in his head. He pulls out a DVD and says, “No, they were all recorded on this DVD.” Ruh-ro!
Demian, Tiberio and Juan Cristobal are going to eat together in order to celebrate him eventually coming to work at his father’s business. They make a toast to JC and Tiberio jealously thinks to himself what a big farce this all is. He knows Demian too well and figures he is up to something.

thanks for the detailed recap and for catching the dancer's name - Dider.
Ruh-oh is right. I think I said that throughout the episode last night.
J.R. :)

Joslyn is quite the little dancer. This is good because she definitely needs a hobby. I was tired of watching her trying to seduce anyone or thing nearby ...not to mention the weird habit of looking into the mirror and seemingly trying to seduce herself! I've never known anyone with a hammock in the livingroom. What's that about? These are not nice people. Tiberio is very creepy, especially his meltdown when he sees girls in school uniforms [Do you think he liked that Britney Spears video ?], and Rogelio is morally bankrupt, but no longer financially bankrupt since he sold Miriam's diamonds. . ~~~Susanlynn, feeling like a very good soul in comparison to these folks

"Degenerates on Display" would have been a good name for this blog! Great recap! I am disgusted with people who make rash promises to children, even children as nauseating as Luisito. "You'll walk and run and everything will be perfect" is not a prudent vow.
