Mundo de Fieras -Thursday 12/21/06 Another One Down, But Who's Counting?
Alone in Mariangela’s house, Clemente suffers a tremendous stab of pain in his head as he remembers all the nasty events that took place the night Jos and his wife, Miriam, threw him out into the street. After remembering every detail, Clemente is determined not to let anyone but Gabe know he has fully recovered his memory nor the truth about Jos not really being his daughter. (This is a sure sign Clemente’s time card is about to be punched.) He wants to protect Mariangela from her and Miriam. Gabe is the only one he feels can resolve things properly. He determines Gabe will be able to help him change his will so Mariangela will inherit everything (uh, didn’t he just say he remembered being dispossessed of all his wealth? Well, maybe his memory is still a bit fuzzy so we need to give it a pass.)
Gabe and Demian have just returned together to the office from the jail and Demian swears to his twin brother that he is neither lying nor deceiving him. (The old Demian is definitely back in the proverbial saddle—and it was about time, too!) He swears he had nothing to do with Little Lui’s kidnapping. El Coyote, he reminds him, admitted he did it as a personal vendetta. Gabe isn’t so sure what to think and replies that El Coyote was darned convincing when he was accusing Demian. (Doesn’t this man ever trust his first impressions?)
Jos, Karen and Miriam are strategizing in her office. Karen tells them she is certain Otilia was fool enough to believe all the lies she told her and will no doubt offer her that job. (Don’t bank on it, Karencita!) Miriam says it is very important for them to know every step she takes. They have to lie in wait and stalk her. (Enough already with the jungle metaphors.....) Karen mentions that Dolores was there outside Otilia’s shop and asked to come around again and Karen finally gave in. Miriam tells them that keeping Dolores tranquil by letting her visit with Karen is the best thing. Karen’s antenna goes up and she asks her grandmother what the reason is that they are afraid of her. What does she know about them? Miriam hisses at her to stop talking nonsense.
Dolores has a chat with Otilia about Karen and asks her to reconsider hiring Karen. It would give Dolores a chance to help straighten out the girl’s life by getting her away from Miriam’s clutches. Otilia warns Dolores that from where she sits Karen is just a mini-Miriam and not worth the trouble. Otilia then talks directly with Dolores and says she realizes Karen is not the reason she came to chat. Dolores admits then that after the trial proceedings the day before and their earlier chat, she is convinced that Federico did not kill her brother. Otilia agrees and says just between the two of them that she is certain it was Jos. She is angry and feels it is over the top that he should be taking the rap for her and there is nothing they can do for him. Dolores says there will be.
Regina is at the office and afterward asks Demian what happened with Gabe and what did he tell his brother about the kidnapping. He says he told him the obvious, that he had nothing to do with it. Demian tells her it is important she does not stop trusting in him because of a misunderstanding. Regina tells him he has changed and so she does trust him, but if she found out it was a deceit on his part, she would never forgive Demian. He just smiles at her with that “endearing” self-assured smile of his.
Mariangela gets a call from Leo and says her daddy is getting his memory back and figures the new eye treatment should also work for him. Leo tries to explain it is still something experimental. When he hangs up he tells himself he will never get over her so he asks his supervisor to let him work in the lab during the day. The head doctor warns him the lab is full of contagion and one has to be alert in there. He worries that Leo is overworking himself and is wearing himself out. (Hint, hint.) They agree to consider it later.
Paula is visiting Little Lui at the manse and has a severe cramp in her belly. On her way out of the house she has another and faints. Mayeya finds her a couple minutes later, lying on the floor in front of the front door. She calls Gabe who rushes over there and somebody calls her doctor to come over right away. (Doctors apparently still make house calls down in Mexico.)
Dolores returns to Demian’s house as Belen and Simona are leaving, suitcases in hand. Belen explains that although she does not want him to get into trouble (Why in the hell not?), they are leaving because the night before Tiberio tried to rape her.
Otilia congratulates Diana for having fooled Rogelio at the club the night before. (I remember her having him kiss her feet before Diana took her mask off and gave him the shock of his life. VERY nice touch, Diana!) Otilia suggests that now they know he and Tiberio are co-owners of that strip club, if Rogelio tries anything against her she will be able to threaten him with telling his daddy about it. They have a nice giggle at that.
Gabe has just left to race over to the manse because of Paulina’s fainting and cramps. Clemente heads out to the nearest pay phone with little David in tow, to call him and speak to him privately. He can only leave an urgent message for Gabe to call him back as soon as possible.
Diana meets Pedro for lunch and must let him down easy. She tells him she is dealing with too many changes in her life right now to think about love. I guess he will be going to study on scholarship in that foreign country after all.
The doctor tells JC and Paulina that her condition is very fragile and she must be extremely careful not to move around, and so on, or she will probably lose the baby. Upstairs at her bedside Gabe, Regina, and Demian are giving the newlyweds their moral support. (You know, every time Demian and Regina stand beside each other it looks like American Gothic gone urban; and Laura Flores’ costumer must have had her head on backwards! She is only missing the matching Jackie Kennedy pillbox hats with these ugly 60’s retro-suits they keep putting on her. All together now, can we say “STOD-GY”?) Demian shocks them all when he promises to exhaust all his resources to insure that her baby is born. (Show off!)
Jos complains to Miriam about Gabe’s accusing her of killing Edgar. Miriam advises her to keep Gabe calm and quiet by treating Lil Lui the right way. Jos whines that she cannot stand being anywhere near the kid and Miriam knows darned well that’s why she avoids him like the plague. (With this kid, I can’t say I blame her for wanting to steer clear of him.) Miriam loses it finally, and starts yelling that if Gabe decides to go back to court (to fight for custody) they will not have the funds to fight him. So, she had better well mend her ways or face the consequences. (From the look in Jos’s eyes, it could be Lui who may again have to face these consequences.)
Dolores waits for her Tiberio to get home and confronts him about attacking Belen. She asks if he ever thinks of the consequences of his actions. He tries to shrug off the incident and says if she is worried about his getting her pregnant, well she won’t be the first or the last girl to have that happen. (What a gross pig Demian raised him to be while you were in the slammer!) Ti tells his mother she got pregnant like that too, but she reminds him there is a difference between giving yourself over for love and getting pregnant from being raped. He swears he didn’t do anything to hurt Belen, and she can believe him or not; it is all the same to him. Dolores warns him that she’ll defend him and support him in most things, but she will not abide those sorts of acts.
Leo checks out Clemente’s eyes. --Regina and Pau bond at bedside. --Silvestre goes to the strip club and fails at trying to talk Elsa out of going on stage to pole dance. She goes up top and the crowd goes wild for her.
Demian and Gabe inform Miriam, Jos and Karen when they return home, that Pau is in bed upstairs and cannot be moved. She will have to stay. Jos is rude at first, but Gabe reminds her the house, although in Clemente’s name, is still his. (Slap! Swat!) Regina tells them she’ll send Dolores over to be her personal nurse. Though Jos is obviously upset, she backs down and says she’ll be “delighted” to host them all. There are plenty of bedrooms for everybody.
A bit later Jos overhears Mayeya and Cortito discuss the fact that Clemente is getting his memory back. Jos tells this to Miriam who says now they’ll have to get rid of him. She tells Jos to get the liquid, put it into his drink and make sure he drinks it all. (Jos gets to off somebody again and she cannot wait to get going!)
Mariangela leaves to visit Paulina after daydreaming about the first time she met Gabe. Candy comes to look after her dad. Clemente tells Cande that nobody can know, but he has gotten back all of his memory.
Mariangela and Jos exchange insults in the hallway before she goes up to visit Paulina. Miram goes into her bedroom safe and starts pulling out her various pieces of jewelery. They’re strewn all over the bed when Karen comes in and Miriam tells her she’s needing to sell them while times are tough on them financially.
Regina asks Dolores to take care of Paulina and hopes she doesn’t mind that it will be at Jos and Miriam’s place, because it means she will have to live there for a while. Everybody is staying over to take care of or watch over Paulina. That includes Gabe and JC, so Karen and Jos couldn’t be happier.
Candy makes Clemente tea, but finds no sugar. She leaves for a few minutes to get some. While she’s out, Jos sneaks in. She tells Clemente it is her and he becomes frightened of her. When he puts his mug down she puts in the liquid. She leaves and he drinks the whole mug full without realizing what she has put into his tea. (This stuff is odorless and tasteless, I guess.) Jos waits outside till it takes affect and then comes back in, washes the mug, puts more tea in it and leaves it next to him on the end table. He is dead but looks asleep on the couch.
Jos walks out the door and is standing there ready to leave the little yard when she runs into Candelaria coming back. Candy asks what she wants and Jos tells her she had regretted her past mean behavior. She has come to visit her daddy and wants to beg his forgiveness. Candy is surprised at this change in her attitude but decides to believe her. She goes in to see if Clemente will relent and speak with Jos. She goes in and sees him “napping” on the couch and goes out to tell Jos she’ll have to come back because he is sound asleep.
Mariangela comes downstairs and runs into Gabe. He walks her outside to say good-bye. They lament the fact that they cannot do anything about the way they feel since Jos and Mariangela are sisters. They hug and say “I love you” to one another at the same time that Leo walks up the drive with his medical bag to check on Pau himself. Mariangela walks away a bit uncomfortable to be seen like this with Gabe.
Jos comes back home and tells her mother that Clemente has ceased to be a problem of any sort now. She killed him.
Mariangela gets back home and sees her father lying on the couch. She has to look again because he doesn’t seem quite right. As she nears him she realizes he is dead, not asleep. She hugs him tightly and cries heartbroken again.
Gabe and Demian have just returned together to the office from the jail and Demian swears to his twin brother that he is neither lying nor deceiving him. (The old Demian is definitely back in the proverbial saddle—and it was about time, too!) He swears he had nothing to do with Little Lui’s kidnapping.

Great job! Geez, Jos is unstoppable! Did you catch how she was stroking her breast as she watched Clemente die? That was soooo fruedian!!!
I loved the scene with Mayeya singing and dancing. Why do I remember Leo singing that song somewhere else?

Jeez, first these people insulted us by having the two lovers get together after knowing each other for 5 minutes, now she's about 5 seconds pregnant, getting ultrasounds and wearing 3-inch stilettos. Ay!!!!
This town needs to have armed guards to protect the townspeople from Jos.
