Mundo de Fieras - Friday 12/15/06: Edgar, we hardly knew ye!
Gabe takes delight in delivering a copy of the annulment papers to Jos. “With the appearance of your first husband, our marriage is invalidated. You and I have no relationship!” He walks out and Jos starts the wheels a-rolling inside that psychopathic brain of hers.
Edgar and Dolores go to see Tiberio in order to tell him that she is not a murderess and he blames Edgar for having stayed away while she was falsely accused. Edgar agrees, but says that is in the past. Ti says well, may be, but “I still have no intention of accepting her as my mother.” Edgar argues with Ti saying he must not reject her out of hand like that, but Ti shoots back that he is nobody to be telling him anything about how to respond and leaves in a huff. Dolores excuses him again and says, “It is a matter of time.”
Jos calls up Federico to tell him that Dolores has found Edgar alive and brought him back home with her. She talks to him and uses this irritatingly frail voice that (like every other tone Edith Gonzales uses with this character) just grates on the nerves. Sounding aggravatingly meek and helpless, she tells her damned fool of a father that now Edgar has gotten her all upset and she worries for her children. Then Jos tells him that he is staying in a hotel and has demanded a meeting with her there that evening. Of course Freddy the Fool has fallen for the scam, hook, line and sinker. “You can’t go there, it’s too risky.” “--I have to go. He’s threatened me with horrible things if I don’t show.” (Cheshire cat grin here.) The whole time this is going on she is fingering her pistol. Freddy demands to go in her place, but she tells him she would never forgive herself if Edgar tried something to harm him. (More Cheshire cat grins and pistol pawing here.) “Well, okay-y-y-y. I will give you the address to the hotel, but you be careful there, alright?”
Meanwhile, Dolores tells Edgar she has no idea what to expect of her son. Edgar cheerily tells her that one day soon he’ll wake up and realize what a wonderful mother he has. They agree to meet for dinner later that night after she rests up and he reacquaints himself with the city. (Hugs all around.) “Just remember that come what may, I love you,” he assures her. (Uh-oh, generally a bad sign when they put this in the script.) “Nothing bad will happen. You’ll see.” (uh-huh.)
Regina gets the biggest surprise of her life when she and Demian finally go up to the suite he’s reserved for them. He opens the door up and shows her a double bed full of rose petals in the shape of a heart on top. “I can cancel it all if you say so,” Demian tells her. She is moved by the gesture, in fact by the whole day’s worth of events. She walks in and looks around her. They move closer and closer till they share a very romantic kiss. (Well, Regina. He isn’t exactly Gabe, but close enough, I suppose, as long as he keeps that crazy temper in check. It’s a shame though, that an angel like you will have to settle for second best. Now if you can just get him to do something about that Hitler haircut of his!) The two of them start gettin’ it on (Hot damn! Demian, you ol’ cur. You actually did it!) while we hear snippets of Percy Sledge (wha-?) singing “When a Man Loves a Woman” in the background.
When Edgar gets back to the hotel room he finds Jos sitting on his bed. He’s surprised at her attempt to immediately seduce him, but she manages to convince him. As she says, after all they are still married to each other.....I guess he figured "She’s got a point there," because he kicks his libido into high gear and, just like a man, his good sense is shot all to heck. While he has farmed out his thought processes to the lower parts of his anatomy, Jos sneaks, unbeknownst to him, into her purse and pulls out her trusty pistol, giving a whole new dimension to the phrase, “pistol packin’ momma”. (Oh, Edgar! Pay attention, Ed! ) She gets off a shot to his lower abdomen. Finally, he’s figured out what a fool he was to let his guard down and accuses her and Miriam of the attempt on his life twenty years earlier. She confesses that it was Demian and her mother, but with her full knowledge and agreement. He was just too much of a nuisance asking for money all the time. Edgar tries reaching for a phone but she shoots him again, this time in the heart. Immediately she rips her clothes up and messes up her hair. Right then Freddy comes a-knockin’.
Jos cries crocodile tears and screams hysterically to her father that she shot Edgar while he was trying to rape her. The hotel security arrives a couple minutes after and her dimwitted daddy decides to take the blame for having killed her husband. (Close up on the grinning Cheshire cat again.)
Back at Demian’s house, Nicolas is giving his assurance to Dolores that with Edgar’s safe return, Ti will come to accept her as his mother. Right about then Ti comes home from a hard day at the office and catches them in an innocent hug. He accuses his mother of being a slut pretty much and begins loudly hurling insults while she lamely tries to explain. Suddenly we hear Nicolas try to shut this over-aged brat in long pants up. “Who are you to tell me anything?” “Listen, boy! I will not permit you to insult or to show a lack of respect to your mother!” (You go, Nic! Let the overgrown snot have it!) Nic leaves reluctantly after this telling her to call him should she need him. Once he’s gone Dolores has to chase Ti up the stairs to ask him to listen to her. He refuses and yells at her that she’s not only an ex-con but a whore as well. This just knocks the wind out of her sails and she drops down onto the stairs and cries her heart out.
Karen and Miriam argue about why they lied to her with a story about her father’s ashes and never mentioned her having an aunt all these years. Miriam tells her granddaughter that it was to spare her deep embarrassment. (Somehow, I don't think that is an emotion any of this trio is familiar with.) Karen remarks that it is too late for him to enter into her life now anyway. "Gram" reminds her then that she is just like her mother and her: a wild animal that doesn’t need anybody else.
Gabe goes looking for Mariangela and stops by her house to tell her that his marriage has been annuled because of the unexpected reappearance of his wife's first husband. He admits he’s feeling foolish for letting himself get carried away with the impulse to tell her. She gives him that same stupid blank look and says nothing but, "I dont understand." He says that he just wanted her to know that now he’s a free man and leaves. (What’s not to understand, Mariangela? Gees!)
A bit later Candy comes to visit Mariangela with that wad of cash in her pocket that she retrieved from her thieving, slutty daughter and she hands it over to Mariangela to help out her and her ailing father. Clemente feels rotten because he is blind, penniless and a burden on her. A bit later Mayeya and Cortito come by with the bad news that Cortito is being kicked out of his place because he can’t pay the rent. Mariangela gives the cash over to him as his need is greater than theirs for now.
Gabe goes to visit Little Lui to explain how and why he and his mother are no longer officially married now that her first husband has come back unexpectedly. He meets up with Miriam and Karen on his way up the stairs and gives them the news that the marriage is annulled with Edgar’s return. They stare evilly at him.
Jos returns to the manse after "thanking" her father profusely for having taken the blame for her crime. Freddy has told her and later, himself, that it was his responsibility as her father. This is something a father does, and he’s fulfilling that obligation. Once she is out of his sight she can hardly contain her laughter she is so delighted with herself.
Once home, Jos feigns terrible sadness and lies to her daughter and Miriam that Freddy has just killed Edgar while trying to save her from him. Miriam drops her glass of brandy, gets another and takes a very big gulp as Jos tells her story to Karen. “We had a meeting time set and I thought we would just talk. That’s why I told Federico. Federico told me not to go. I should have paid attention to him. (sob, sob). When I arrived Edgar started to fondle me and wanted a great amount of money! This way our life would be turned into a hell. I begged him to leave me in peace, but he would not pay attention to me. Then he ripped my clothes and attempted to rape me." (Ay! Sob, sob. Breathe.)
Jos continues with her story, "I tried defending myself as best I was able. I yelled and screamed but nobody helped me. Then Federico came and he shot him to protect me. It was all done to protect you, my daughter. You do believe me, don’t you?” Karen, overcome with emotion from what she has just heard answers, “Yes, mother. I do believe you.” (There is no way, though, that Miriam believes this horse-puckey, knowing the psychopathic horse’s mouth she just heard it from, but she has the good sense to keep it to herself.) Immediately after, Jos gets up, pours herself a drink and, with her hand on her hip, she tells her mother, sounding very cool and collected, that if anybody questions them, they will repeat this story she’s just told them: “Federico killed Edgar. Dolores brought Edgar back to do harm to us, but I was not going to permit it.” Then she offers her drink to Karen. Miriam lets out a low breath and says nothing --but you just know she has to be counting the bodies and wondering how many more there will be.
In the meantime, Otilia has gone to see feckless Freddy and begs him to tell her who he is covering for. “I know you’re not a murderer! You’re a lousy husband, but you are not a murderer. Who did it? I know you know!!” He just stares silently off into space, with maybe the slightest look of panic in his eyes.
Pau and JC discuss goofy names for their unborn child and Pau mentions that she doesn’t trust Tiberio. (Better listen, Juan Cristobal!) Then Pau sends him off to get some mango and chiles that she craves.
Dolores and Nic go to meet Edgar to join him for dinner, but when they enter the lobby and ask the staff to ring up to his room security comes to take them upstairs. Dolores must identify her dead brother’s body and cries inconsolably while Nicolas finds out that Freddy is giving his statement downtown at the jail. He has told authorities that he killed Edgar while defending the woman who was here in the room with him. Dolores turns around and asks her name. When the security officer answers "Joselyn Cervantes Bravo" Dolores howls her frustration.
Gabe comes downstairs from seeing his son and Jos tells him that they’re all upset because unfortunately, Federico has killed Edgar. Gabe is impactado and races over to the jail with Nic to talk to Freddy. Nic catches Gabe up on what he and Dolores were trying to accomplish. Neither of them believe Jos’s story. It was their idea, Nic explains, simply to bring him back to prove Dolores’ innocence. Nic says he knows that Edgar was not capable of harming anybody and probably was killed to keep him from finding out the truth about who tried to kill him back then. They go into question Freddy. He just repeats emphatically that HE was the one who killed Edgar. He claims he doesn’t know why they had to come and tells them it doesn’t matter whether they believe him or not. HE killed him! HE killed Edgar! They don’t even get a chance to tell him they know better. He just keeps blurting it out. Gabe stares at him, dumbfounded.
In bed, by candlelight, Regina thanks Demian for finally making her feel special and protected in his arms. He says he made a mistake once, but he promises that he will never give her reasons for them to be apart from each other again. (Sing it, Percy. Sing it!)
Later, Miriam and Jos are discussing strategy again. Jos is lounging on her mother's desk in her Russian style peel-off jeans and knee-high, black stiletto boots while telling Miriam how Freddy decided to take the blame and promised her not to let anyone know he’s her daddy. She assures Miriam that even if anybody did accuse her, they have no proof. Miriam praises her daughter’s “skills” again and tells her that she did everything correctly. Suddenly, Dolores comes bursting into the room, furiously screaming at her. She rushes at Jos and jumps in her face, slapping her ferociously, twice, and knocking her backward onto Miriam’s desk. “YOU!! You killed Edgar!!” she screeches while choking Jos with every ounce of strength she has. Miriam pulls at Dolores’ hair and tries to pull her off her daughter; she is screaming at Dolorous, “Let her go! Let her go!” while Dolorous is screaming at Jos (who is in one hell of a strangle-hold) and accusing her of killing her brother. Jungle cats growl and yowl in the background as the fur begins to fly.
Edgar and Dolores go to see Tiberio in order to tell him that she is not a murderess and he blames Edgar for having stayed away while she was falsely accused. Edgar agrees, but says that is in the past. Ti says well, may be, but “I still have no intention of accepting her as my mother.” Edgar argues with Ti saying he must not reject her out of hand like that, but Ti shoots back that he is nobody to be telling him anything about how to respond and leaves in a huff.

I guess Edgar proved he was quite right to stay in hiding all those years. How long did he last, one episode? Too bad, I kind of liked him.
Wow, reagt recap! I will be thoroughly disgusted if they determine that Jos and Gabe are still married after all now that Edgar's gone... wouldn't be the first time this show defies logic.... but could you imagine the look on Gabe's face if he got that news?!!
Woweewow!!! I wasn't expecting poor Edgar to get killed...at least not this fast. Joslyn is really one crazy girl--I noticed that she and Ed were rolling around at first vying the top position. If only Edgar had been a little stronger and a little more determined, he might have at least had sex before getting killed. Also, wasn't that really a sick scene with Jos shooting him...then , kissing him...then, shooting again and killing him ,...then more kissing. She is a very creepy broad. By the way, I was glad that we didn't have to watch Otilia poledancing like we did in the last episode....wow...that visual has been burned into my memory banks.~~~Susanlynn, figuring that Gabe is still bound to crazy Joslyn now

Oh man, I didn't even get to see Edgar without his hair and beard and all! I hope Tivo saved this episode so I can watch it tonight (Monday), sounds like a good one! Did Otilia really do a pole dance? Dear God what a nightmare.

Slyvia---Yes...Diana was giving a poledancing demonstration to her mother and Otilia. Lovely. Otilia was using a broom as her pole of choice. You had to see it to believe it.....or, perhaps, it was some bizarre NIGHTMARE that I had from watching TOO MANY telenovelas. ~~~Susanlynn, wondering if the community college has poledancing classes besides the bellydancing classes that are offered
