Mundo Monday - 12/18

While Becky is away, you'll have to make do with me! I haven't been following this show and I know I missed a couple things, so feel free to chime in...

  • Joselyn's deluded father, Federico, agrees for her sake (and Luisito's) to continue saying he killed Edgar - and also to hide the fact he's her father! She comes to the prison and strokes his cheek and says thanks. That's all he needs, he's happy to help.

    Dolores, however, is not convinced. She shows up at Casa de Fieras and bitch-slaps Joselyn considerable, yelling, "YOU MURDERED MY BROTHER!"

    Miriam waves some dagger-like implement and says, "If your brother was so great, he wouldn't have let you rot in prison." Dolores grabs the pointy thing and holds it to her own throat, hissing, "You don't know what I'm capable of! This is Karen's house, and I'm going to stick around, and I'm going to destroy you. I'll make you pay." She leaves.

  • Elsa is flouncing around looking for Coyote. At the boys' club, a guy in a red satin "Saturday Night Fever" shirt tries to convince her to take up pole-dancing - "I heard you're out of work. You can make a lot of money here - all you'll have to do is wear scanty clothing and smile a lot." First she says no - then, seeing her flame in the arms of other women, says she will.

    Back at his apartment, Coyote arrives yelling, "Elsa! I need money!" He tosses her drawers, finds the money she stole from Candelaria (it was for MA from I can't remember whom), takes it and immediately spends it.

  • MA gets a letter from the nurse who cared for her mother Aurora at the clinic. The nurse says Aurora was murdered. MA is impactada and goes the next day to look for this nurse - unfortunately, the nurse (Cecilia) quit and left no forwarding address. Leo, that chump, searches unsuccessfully for Cecilia on the internet but promises he'll find her. Why, oh why, are people always making promises they can't be sure they can fulfill? (A pet peeve of mine. "Nothing will ever harm you." Hah.)

  • Dolores goes to sob with Regina. She didn't get to enjoy much of her brother's company before he got whacked. She tells Regina: Joselyn was the murderess. "He's dead, and she's free!"

    Nicolas shows up, says it's time to dispose of Edgar's ashes, and appears to be yearning to make a move on Dolores. He holds back, which shows some sensitivity.

    They go to the cemetery with the ashes. Dolores asks Edgar's pardon. (How right Edgar was to stay away so long - one day home and look what happens!) She swears to get Karen, his daughter, back for him.

    Why anyone would want Karen, I dunno. Hearing of her father's death, Karen is unmoved. Rogelio calls her cold. (Pot calls kettle black.) She taunts him: Paulina will get half your inheritance. He swears it won't happen.

  • Miriam finally meets up with Demian. "Where were you, I'd been calling to tell you the news about Edgar!" "I had personal business." She mocks his tender anniversary activities and he accuses her of jealousy. She says he hasn't changed, he'll be back to his evil old ways at the first provocation.

    Demian is not worried about Edgar's passing - as long as Federico sticks with his confession. Demian also offers to pacify Dolores, suggesting however: "It would help if you'd let her see her niece Karen."

  • Gabriel is with Luisito, who complains of being locked up. "We'll solve this, get your shoes." Gabe hauls him over his shoulder and takes him downstairs, Joselyn cannot stop their departure - why didn't he try this sooner! Jos wants to make a scene but Miriam holds her back, reminding her "honey" is the way to go. She thought-bubbles that as long as Gabe thinks Jos and MA are sisters, MA will not be a threat.

  • Elsa goes back to Coyote's apartment, finds her money gone, and finds a plastic bag with an awful mask in it.

  • Paulina and JC are nauseatingly happy. They get an ultrasound of the baby. Paulina is sad that her father is alone. Regina says she'll work on it and immediately goes to Gabe: "The love I once had for you has changed to a serene affection. We all just want you to be happy. You need to get boinked."

    He fesses up to his love for MA, but he thinks it an impossible love since MA and Jos are sisters (his logic escapes me).

    Regina then goes to MA and sees she is in love with Gabe but thinks it is impossible. Unhelpfully Regina says: "Just think it over."

  • Pedro has been offered a grant to go to art & design school but says he now doesn't want to go - "there are complications"

    Diana says she's determined to divorce Rogelio. This may be the complication.

  • Gabe takes Luisito to Candelaria's place where the yikky little friends jump up and down with joy to see him. They take him outside to play.

    Then Gabe takes Clemente to the doctor, who regrets to say: the blindness is irreversible. Clemente declines Gabe's offer of assistance. Gabe tells Clemente: you have money, you know. Clemente says he wants to divide it equally between his two daughters.

    (Miriam confers with Federico in jail; it appears he has done some tricksy financing such that all Clemente's supposed money is now in Miriam's hands. The only thing which could derail this dastardly plan? Clemente's making a new will. Miriam scoffs: the pitiful old duffer's not up to it!)

  • Outside Candelaria's house, Sylvester is hanging with the young dudes when Elsa flounces by - she waves Coyote's mask and Lui freezes up - "that's the mask of the man who kidnapped me!"

    Elsa very foolishly tells Coyote she knows he was the one who kidnapped Lui.

    Sylvester arranges for Coyote to show up in the courtyard; under a table Lui listens to Coyote's voice and, yes, it's the voice of the man who kidnapped him!

    Sylvester tells Gabe, Gabe runs to the apartment and chokes Coyote, Coyote says, "I was just following orders, it was your brother who ordered the snatch!" Gabe runs to Demian's house and punches him, saying, "You'll never change!"

  • MA goes to see Leo at the hospital and rehashes yet again that she'll never love him. So he, the dunce, later shows up with a rose and calls her "mi amor," which means she rehashes again that she'll never love him, this time adding: "I love another man and will love him forever."

Great job, Melinama--You've still got it, girl!!!! As for Gabe and the supposed sisters , there seems to be a strong cultural restiction at play here, i.e. NO boinking siblings, cousins, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law. I must ask you : Was that a direct translation that you made of Regina's advice to old Gabe ??--: ''You've got to get boinked.'' Made me giggle and reminisce about your affectionate nickname for our Luis in ''Alborado''--the Mystery Boinker of Santa Rita. Ah yes, I remember it well. Good times. Yesterday, I ran into a former student from Sicily who bares an uncanny resemblance to Paulina...only prettier...perhaps because she is a sweetheart and is always glowingly smiling [unlike Paulina who pouts and wrinkles up her gorgeous little face a lot because life is not quite as perfect as she deserves...simper pout simper.] This girl likes to give massive bear hugs , kiss you on both cheeks, and yell ''I love you soooo much''as you are standing in a parking lot or whatever. Thanks for the memories of your excellent recapping skills. ~~~Susanlynn, simpering and pouting
 

Great recap! I'm thinking that Dolores could take Jos in a one-on-one as long as Jos isn't hiding any weapons. I see that they have serious door-closing issues over here in Mundo-land too. What is it with these people? Thanks Melinama, your recap was wonderful!
