Mundo de Fieras - Friday 11/17/06

While the school director is out of the office attending to a problem that just came up, Psycho-Mom, Jos, (dressed in a boldly blue shantung silk sundress and diamonds) sneaks in and begins to blame Mariangela for destroying her marriage and “happy” family. Mariangela of course wastes time trying to deny everything. Jos is on a roll and decides to break the glass cabinet behind Mariangela by throwing the big stapler she’s holding at it. She pulls out a large glass shard, screams, “Let me go! Don’t hurt me!” and other choice damsel in distress-isms. Naïve Mariangela just lamely stutters out to her to stop as Psycho-Mom slices the palm of her hand and bloodies everything and grabs Mariangela and threatens to cut her throat. Now Mariangela’s neck is superficially cut a bit and bloody, but the director comes in and immediately turns to Jos whose saying she’s had to defend herself from this woman who is destroying her marriage and is after her husband. I suppose because Jos is obviously wealthy, and thus influential, the director believes the psycho-mom version. When Jos takes off, the director tells Mariangela not to bother lying about the incident. She tells her she’s lucky Jos is not placing charges and adds, “You are a shameless slut. I was ready to hire you. Now, get out!” (It doesn’t occur to the director to wonder why somebody would do something crazy like this out of the blue???)

Gabe tells Nic that he finally told Paulina she was adopted and that in the end she took it very well. (How else could she have acted. Besides why give up all those big bucks and livin' large?)

Paulina finds the heating pad in an office drawer and realizes the trick JC played on her to get her to start talking to him again. He admits it and the two laugh and kiss. (Good, cause I'm getting tired of her spoiled, flip-flop tantrums. All these rich novela women are taught from an early age that tantrums get you everything.)

Mariangela is walking around crying over the injustice of what happened at the school while Jos skitters up the stairs to her bedroom with her bloody hand. In her room she stops and looks at the cut, almost mesmerized by it. Then she hears Clemente coming up to the room and purposely drops a perfume bottle on the floor and tells him that she just cut herself when picking up the pieces. He rushes out to get something to wrap it with. We see the secretive smile on her face: "Fooled the old dolt again."

Mariangela tells Mayeya what happened at the school and how Jos purposely followed her there to give her grief. Mayeya (the only sensible female character in this novela) advises her to report the crazy broad to the police or, at least, tell Gabe about it.

Juan Cristobal goes home and Regina is there to hand him the engagement ring she’d just picked up from the jeweler’s. She explains it was made from a diamond broach of her grandmother’s and JC thanks her. (What's one more diamond ring, anyway?)

Tiberio and Karen are knocking back shots of tequila at the bar again. (About this time I am ready for a couple of those myself.) Ti teases Karen about Deloris being her aunt and them now being cousins. Karen is angry about Paulina telling her what’s what about Juan Cristobal and starts downing shots one right after the other. Ti offers to help her make Pau and JC’s lives miserable. She mentions that she is about to get Tiberio a business partner that would invest lots of money so that he can become independent of Demian.

We have more comedy relief from Cortito, now a bread delivery man, delivering unwrapped loaves while riding on a bike. The loaves are in the bike’s basket and he loses his balance when some kids run past him. The loaves fall out onto the sidewalk and he loses his job uh-gain. Budda-boom.

Clemente and Frederico argue over the fact that Clemente foolishly brought Jos home from the psychiatric clinic. (Wow, so Freddy what are ya gonna do about it?) Frederico tells Clemente he hopes he doesn’t regret it and slams down the phone. Otilia arrives home from New York City. (Poor Fred. He really has had rotten luck with the women he’s hooked up with over the years……..)

Ingrid tells Miriam she’s worried about their parish priest. He could make trouble for them because he could report their abandoning Miriam’s baby at the church years ago. Miriam says it wasn’t a problem because she confessed to the other priest and so what. She doesn’t feel threatened in the least. “Anybody that steps in my way, well, things will go very badly for them.”

Silvestre and Leo discuss romantic love and motherly love. Leo says he wouldn’t be anything without his mother, Candy. While this conversation is going on, Pedro walks through the kitchen and finds Candy weak and bowled over, but she says she’s fine and he walks off.

Gabe complains to Clemente about the incident at the school. Gabe defends Mariangela by reminding him that she does not lie and wouldn’t have any reason to lie. Clemente agrees Mariangela is honest but says that would be impossible since Jos has been upstairs in her room all day. Gabe says she obviously escaped from them and that it was wrong to take Jos out of the clinic. (No duh.) He suggests she be sent back until she is totally cured and not before. (Hey, he's still her husband so, Nic, why can't Gabe get her committed?) Clemente looks upset at Gabe’s suggestion, but he goes upstairs to see what Jos has to say.


Jos of course swears she’s been at the house all day and Mariangela is out to destroy her family and would be capable of doing anything to get her way. Clemente, though, says he has no choice but to take Jos back. Things aren't working. She goes into hysterics at his feet begging for one more chance and screaming repeatedly that she is his daughter. After a couple of ear-shattering minutes of this he gives in and says she can stay. (Ever wonder why this guy turned into an alcoholic and smokes like a chimney? Between the hysterical screaming of his daughter’s uncontrollable tantrums which have obviously continued into adulthood, and his witchy wife locking away his “family jewels” in her private lock-box, it makes total sense to me!)

Otilia pays Miriam a surprise visit at the fashion house while Leo takes Candy home early from work at Gabe’s manse. Candy gets dizzy and faints. Leo becomes alarmed and pulls out his trusty stethoscope and blood pressure cuff and checks her out once she comes to. He tries to get her to stop working but Candy of course refuses.

Silvestre argues with Elsa outside the beauty shop over her going out with El Coyote. She tells him to “go buy a life” and leave her in peace. He says El Coyote doesn’t suit her and could hurt her really badly. He says he’s going to continue to be involved in her life because he cares for her. She says she never asked him to be her defender. He finally grabs her and says whether she likes it or not, he’s going to do it because loves her.

Otilia threatens Miriam. She reads from the Bible “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” Miriam laughs and Otilia says, “It doesn’t scare you because you don’t have a conscience. I will give you a little help with that.” (Now SHE is comic relief!)

Clemente tells Gabe that he definitely is not going to send Jos back to the clinic. He is going to give her another chance like she asked. Gabe tells him to pay more attention with her and Clemente promises to do just that.

Pau invites Mariangela to her engagement dinner that night.

Jos brags to Miriam how clever she was in accusing Mariangela of attacking her at the school. Miriam tells her to be more careful about these things or her father will put her right back in the clinic. Jos says she was very skillful in preventing her father from that already. Miriam says nevertheless, Demian already came to threaten her about Jos trying to kill Regina. Jos says he doesn’t have any proof it was her. Miriam reminds her that she has to strike the enemy when he’s least expecting it and then hide her hand after she’s thrown the stone. Jos says she’ll try to pay attention to that but it’s difficult to control herself once she’s started to destroy somebody.

Regina and JC go to Gabe’s and Paulina's apartment for the dinner to formally ask for Pau’s hand. All the close friends and family are there. However, Demian is not invited as Regina has purposely not told him about it. She doesn’t want him to wreck the evening for JC and Pau.

Mariangela is dressed and ready to go to the dinner also, and stops by Leo and Candy’s. He’s ready to give her a lift over there when her hometown priest shows up with David who has just lost his parents in an accident. Candy promises the little boy a home there and Mariangela stays instead to comfort him.

Nic goes over to the mansion to ask Jos to sign the divorce papers he’s brought her. She refuses. If she can't have him, then she'll see that he will not find happiness with any other woman. Nic leaves.

Meanwhile, Demian and El Coyote are watching and waiting impatiently for Gabe’s construction workers to leave the area. When the workers are finally gone Demian says to El Coyote that he warned Gabe he should not build those houses on that land. He pushes the remote button and Gabe’s government housing project for the poor explodes. Demian laughs with insane glee saying, “How I do enjoy taking revenge on Gabriel.”

Gabe gets a call about the explosion . He throws a meaningful glance at Regina and and leaves the party.

Miriam advises Jos to go ahead with the divorce and to use Luisito to get back at Gabe by succeeding in getting the little boy living there with her at the mansion again.

Demian calls Regina on her cell wondering where she has gone that night with JC. Regina says they’re at the engagement dinner. He explodes from anger and screams "What in blazes are you doing there?" She tells him it was because JC and Pau are getting married soon. After the engagement party the next day he and she are arguing about it in his office at their home. Regina asks when he’s going to understand that it is not Gabe’s fault that he’s got money and was sold to a rich family. Demian is still bitter and says he lacked everything, everything. She warns him she will not allow his hate for his brother to harm Juan Cristobal.

Little Lui tells JC about the clown talking to him in his bedroom and scaring him. He swears the man was the one who kidnapped him and that he was really there, although nobody wants to believe him.

Paulina tells Mariangela that she is adopted. Mariangela says she never knew her father and wouldn’t care to meet him. Pau says it doesn’t matter that she is adopted, she still loves her father and he still loves her very much.

Demian is left alone in his office and swears to himself that he will never let JC marry Paulina, ever!

Thanks, Jardinera. I really appreciate your team's work because it's more fun to read your recaps than actually watch!
 

Love the recap but couldn't help[ thinking that I was surprised that Jos didn't just start licking that cut on her hand and sucking up the blood.

Silvestre has to get wisee and ump Elsa the useless slut. I had high hooes that they would match him up with Belen when she got that job at the restaurant. I love Alejandro Ruiz and he deserves better than this one not character.
 

Perhaps if Leo would stop tickling Candy, she wouldn't be hyperventilating so much.
