Mundo de Fieras - Friday 11/10/06

Juan Cristobal joins Paulina under her umbrella and swears in front of her and Karen that Paulina and only she is his one true love. He has never had any interest in Karen. Karen answers back that JC totally enjoyed their times together, especially when kissing her. JC contradicts her and says “You kissed me!” Karen reminds them they’re still 1st cousins and so nothing can come of it anyway. Pau tells her it’s their business and not to meddle. In the end Karen, the scheming little slut, wins by putting the seeds of doubt into Paulina’s mind and warning her off a man as untrustworthy as JC. “He’ll only make you suffer, Paulina.”

Clemente shocks Gabe when he admits that Mariangela is the lovechild from his affair with Aurora. Clemente says he intends to protect her as he’d promised Aurora he would.

Paulina tells JC that Karen reminded her of certain things (it’s apparent she can’t forgive or forget, or even give poor, soaked JC the benefit of the doubt!), so it’s best if he would just leave. Pau, though, is worried that he’ll get sick with all this foolishness (but not worried enough to listen). JC is in love and just as stubborn as Pau. He refuses to budge until she listens. He’s ready to remain there in the rain as long as it takes. She gets frustrated and goes back upstairs to her father’s apartment but still watches him from the window. A couple minutes later Gabe drives up and gets out of his car as the rain starts to let up a bit. He asks Juan Cristobal why he’s out in the rain in the middle of the street (like a dummy). JC explains he’s doing what Gabe said was necessary: convincing Pau of his sincerity. Gabe chuckles a bit and tells him to go home and he’ll work on Paulina to get those barriers between them to fall. Tomorrow morning will be better to resolve things. (How about just unselfishly telling Pau the truth, that she’s your adopted daughter and finally you can stop this ridiculous farce? What a dad!)

Upstairs Gabe tries to get his daughter to express her true feelings about Juan but she tells him she cannot get back together with Juan. She loves him still, quite a bit, but she is certain that it just isn’t possible. He accepts this answer and doesn’t stick up for JC’s side of things at all. (Thanks for nothing, Gabe!)

Mariangela is now living in the rebuilt house of her mother’s. Gabe, I think, rebuilt it for her. She prays to the Virgencita and says it’s best she puts distance between her and him, but she is not going to stay away from Little Lui who needs her and loves her as she loves him.

Leo is looking out his window at the rain that same night and tells Candy that his only thoughts are for Mariangela. He wants only to protect her and to love her. Candy reminds him not to hold out false hopes since Mariangela has been straight with him from the beginning about her feelings towards him. She mentions then that Elsa should be as good a child as Leo, but she cannot sleep at night never knowing where Elsa is and waiting up for her because she hasn’t come home. (Is this the first time that Leo has heard this?)

That night Elsa is with El Coyote who has showered bills of cash all over his bed. She literally rolls in it and he gets his bought and paid for bit of fun.

Karen drives off and starts crying. She swears vengeance because of the rage JC has caused by rejecting her. Well, she ends up somehow at a snazzy bar with Tiberio. She asks Ti what his plans are for his future. He says he’s interested in becoming independent of his father’s business and doing something on his own. Karen (like mother and grandmother) tells him if he makes her a business partner, she’ll be able to help him quite a bit (wink, wink). Tiberio laughs and paws her thighs and she laughs with him and continues to let him paw her thighs.

JC gets home late. Regina has been worried as heck. He walks in and she asks where he’s been. He explains why he’s all wet (you can say that again.....) and she just hugs him for “doing what you said to do, Mom,” and trying to convince Paulina of his love.

Jos comes into Miriam’s office and tells her how she brought Little Lui to Aurora’s funeral for just a bit to make sure that she was still La Sra. Cervantes Bravo and not Mariangela. Miriam says that was a good idea. So Jos tells her that she told Lui that “that woman” was the reason his father abandoned her. Miriam suggests she was skillful and that she should continue to take every advantage to poison him against his father.

Back at Demian’s, Dolores is angry and the two of them are fighting over why she had to tell Tiberio that she was his mother. She complains that she had no choice since thanks to Demian, her son attacked her thinking she was after him “as a man” and was sexually attracted. She reminds Demian that she’ll fight and do whatever is necessary provided her son comes to accept her. Demian wishes her good luck and lots of strength since she’ll need it, because the kid just isn’t happy with her at all. She says the least Demian can do is to support her in this, otherwise she’ll be forced to tell Ti the whole truth about daddy, too. Demian agrees then to support her and to attemp to get Ti to see reason, even eventually to admit he’s Tiberio’s father -- “when the time is right” of course. Dumb Dolores believes him.

Gabe and Little Lui are eating breakfast and Gabe tells him how much it meant to Mariangela that he came to her mother’s wake the other night, particularly since she was now all alone in the world. Lui surprises him when he unexpectedly answers that, “Mariangela doesn't interest me.”

Leo pays a visit to Mariangela. He tells her he is so anxious for her that he woke up in the wee hours and just had to see her. She thanks him and says she likes the solitude right now. He asks her if she might be able to love him half as much as he loves her but she says she wishes she could order her heart, but things don’t work like that. He still wants permission to come by and take care of things for her. He starts by offering to take her to the city to look for work and she accepts.

Meanwhile, Tiberio is screaming at Demian, “How could you have kept quiet for so many years? Why didn’t you tell me?” Demian answers that some things are not easy to explain, so “Why don’t we just agree to leave things as they are for now?” Tiberio refuses. He demands to know everything because it is his right to know but Demian says no. He also starts to twist the truth to his advantage, and says his mother left him without a care. She never once cared to look after him, but he’ll have to accept this and be nice to Dolores. Ti adamantly refuses but Demian says he will do it because he is ordering him. He explains to Ti that there are times when you give in and there are times when you only pretend to give in. This is a time when he only has to pretend to be happy she’s come back into his life. This way he’ll keep her from bothering him. Ti thinks it over.

At work, Paulina notices how sick JC is and worries. She tells him that he needs to go see a doctor. He refuses till she gives him a kiss and finally she gives in. Afterward she goes to get her car and he gets up off his chair. He’s been sitting on a heating pad the whole time. He burns himself while putting it away and gripes to himself that he took way too long to convince her. (Cute one, JC! Smart and even a bit original, too!)

Jos, the psyco-mom, has given her son a fish tank full of little fishies and she shows Little Lui, who is in the living room and otherwise alone, how to bang hard on the sides to make the fish come around. While he has his back turned looking for something, Psycho-Mom scratches something against the side of the tank which cuts deeply into the glass. Once she leaves, Lui continues to bang on the glass until the sides of the tank burst open and water, full of shards of glass, explodes in his face, knocking him on the floor. He starts screaming for the maid to come and help him. (I kept wondering if Mexico has a PITA, and what they must think, seeing all the little gasping, tail-flipping fishies dying on the floor above Lui's head while this scene was being taped.......)


The maid calls Gabe to let him know what just happened. He and the ambulance arrive just as JC and Paulina get to the hospital to see Leo about JC’s fever. Everyone goes into panic mode of course when they see Lui being wheeled in unconscious with bloody cuts all over his face. Jos, on the other hand, is drinking a toast to herself and her ingeniously successful scheme. (She is practically orgasmic over it!)

Frederico and Jos’s shrink are discussing the seriousness of her emotional and mental problems. Frederico says he’s not be able to do anything so far because Miriam refuses to have her put away or to let anybody interfere. The psychiatrist says his professional oath stops him from giving any details, just as with a priest, but her mental state is so delicate that she is dangerous. She probably should be interned he says, because they don’t want her to hurt somebody. (Brother, you're a day late and a dollar short.)

Ti defies Demian’s orders regarding Dolores despite Demian slapping the snot out of him and warning him never to challenge him again. Ti says he’d intended to follow orders, but his contempt towards her is just too great. He walks out and leaves Demian yelling at him to come back.

Mariangela returns to the neighborhood and one of the couples who own a small restaurant offers her a job. When she calls Gabe’s mansion to say hello to Candy they all find out about Little Lui’s accident. She runs off to the hospital to be at his bedside. (Although, I am fascinated to think how silly she would look if she could actually run in those stodgy 4" high platformed espadrilles she's always wearing......)

Jos comes into the reception area and starts crying and screaming, “Where is my son? Where is my son! I want to see my son!” and playing the role of the aggrieved mother. As soon as she sees Gabe she accuses him of not only killing her other child, but now almost killing this one as well. Leo comes in and tries to calm her down saying nothing can be resolved by yelling. She yells across the room that it all Gabe’s fault, taking her little son away from her and out of the house to live with him; he was so careless with him. “Nobody knows how to care for him like a mother!” “Nobody understands me!” She continues to rant the chant over and over and over and over. (Puh-leese!! Enough already!!My ears....where's my mute button......) Gabe just watches. He doesn’t say a word. I guess he’s falling for the guilt number still.

Miriam and Ingrid are discussing Clemente’s faults and his big fortune. Miriam says they wouldn’t have a single cent had it not been for her managing the family’s money. Clemente may not drink anymore, but he can’t be trusted with it. (Hey, if he doesn't die from a drowned liver then in a bit he will from rotted, charred lungs. So what's the rush?) She tells Ingrid she’s fixed it so he will not be able to have use of it. Ingrid says he could end up on the street and Miriam agrees, and the little wheels start turning. She answers something like “That’s right, he could end up on the street.”

Mariangela arrives at the hospital and they hug with Jos taking it all in. Mariangela tries to speak with Lui but he rejects her while pointedly acting excited to see everyone else who is at his bedside. Mariangela leaves then, heartbroken, particularly after Jos and he put on a big act about Jos’s worrying and great love for him. (Gagging here!! I am so gagging at this.) Gabe continues to stay quiet, just taking it all in. (He has got to know this is all a show by now, though. Doesn't he?)

Frederico goes to Miriam and threatens her that either she interns Jos in a sanatorium or he’ll make good on his right as her real father to do it himself. (Good for you, Freddie-boy!) It won’t matter who knows at that point that he’s her real father provided that it helps her get well. (You go, guy! You go!)

Clemente tells Mariangela’s priest that he plans to care for her now as promised. The priest advises him to clarify things with his two daughters.

Leo is about to give JC a shot for his virus, but JC manages to explain the ruse he used to get Paulina’s attention. Leo laughs. JC then asks about his love life and Leo tells him how he feels about Mariangela and how God’s designs have made a disaster of it for him.

Miriam hands over a signed document to Frederico and tells him, “Now you’ve gotten what you wanted, so get out!” He takes it and leaves.

Jos watches Mariangela walking out of the hospital and thinks, “I told you you’d cry tears of blood.” Just then Frederico calls her on her cell and tells her it’s urgent she meet him at the psychiatrist’s office.

Miriam informs Clemente afterward about Frederico’s intentions with Jos to get her professional help. She asks Clemente why he’s so surprised since he’s told her for a long time that Jos needs to be put in a psychiatric hospital to get treatment. “As it is,” she nags, “Frederico actually did something about it. He is more of a father to my daughter than you!” Clemente defends himself saying he loves both equally. Miriam just sneers.

Frederico rushes Jos into the doctor’s office. She sees the two doctors and asks her doctor why she was brought there. Frederico says he is only doing what is best for her. The shrink tells her that she’s there because she should be interned to receive treatment. She renounces Frederico’s friendship, screams, and spits out “Betrayer” at him repeatedly. Then she tries to leave but he grabs onto her and stops her. She curses at him and breaks free but when she opens the door to the outer hallway, two big male nurses are there to grab her. They drag her back into the office while she continues to scream and curse.

Yes...put that nutcase away. These people are getting on my last nerve.As soon as I saw that emormous aquarium, I knew that it was going to lead to no good. ~~~Susanlynn, giving up any hope of finding another ''Alborado'' or ''Amor Real''...Did anyone watch the telenovela nominations show? I saw Fc..''Alborado'' and several of its actors and actresses recived nominations. Hurrah !
 

Wow, Im really surprised that they are locking p jos so early in the story.... these villians usually make it almost to the end before anybody figures them out! Nice that they broke the mold, at least a bibt.
 

There are a a couple of others that belong in the manicomio along with Joselyn! (Tiberio really creeps me out! He and the floozie Karen deserve each other.)
 

Anyone want to take any bets how long she'll stay in casa de locos?
 

Hilarious and insightful recap. I'm amazed you can keep things straight between the two novelas that you translate. Very impressive! I felt sorry for the fishies too. I'm guessing a week max for Jos's stay in the nut house.

I watched the telenovela nominations. It was great to see the Alborada gang, I felt very nostalgic. Does anyone know when the actual awards will air?
 

I watched the awards and was very glad to see Alborada's cast was nominated for at least 7 awards.
I didn't hear when they will be given, but I'll keep my ears open.
Sorry, that I confused an awards show with a nominating show, but I don't speak Spanish, duh.
