Duelo de Pasiones, Wed 1/31 - Men, they start out as gentlemen and end up as cobras.
Present company excepted of course! On with the recap...
Don Loco paces Soledad's cell. Flor/Alina is hiding behind the wardrobe door. He asks Soledad "who is with you?" He sees two glasses. She says one is for water and one is for wine. He smells them. What an ass. He looks around and puts his hand on the wardrobe door. Soledad sees Flor's shoes under the wardrobe door!
Gaspar is praying in church. He's asking God to help him find his little doll. The padre smiles, thinking "how cute, the mentally challenged man has a little dollie." He says "your little doll?" and hold his hands 8" apart. Gaspar says, "Yes, I hold her in my arms and kiss kiss kiss." The padre is all "WTF?"
Adela enters Soledad's cell and tells Don Loco the food is ready. She's trying to run interference for Soledad. He leaves and locks the door. Flor is locked in.
Elias (Flor's godfather) thought bubbles "Soledad where are you?"
Alfonsina is splayed out on the floor pretending to wash it, she's showing a lot of shoulder and a lot of leg. She's one sultry momma. Hugo grabs her. She tells him he's a good man, not like the Patron who no longer pays attention to her. They make out under a portrait of the scowling Don Loco. Personally, I think Alfonsina is hotter (and scarier) than Thelma, but I'd like the gentlemen to weigh in on this one.
Jaime is getting Orlando's horse ready for a ride. Orlando asks about Flor. After he rides off Jaime remembers he forgot to warn him about the whirlpool!
Santos and Rosita are back in the sack for a little afternoon delight. Don Maximo rides up and Santos comes to the door. Don Maximo orders him back to work. He asks about Rosita and Santos wonders "what in the hell does that old fart want with her?" He tells Rosita to watch out for Maximo.
Orlando sees Gaspar by the river and yells "Where's the girl?" He rides into the whirlpool and falls off his horse. He's trapped in the remolino!! Gaspar saves him as an invisible choir sings its crescendo.
Emilio accuses Angel of being jealous. Angel denies it and says Emiliano treated Flor badly. Emilio promises not to bother Flor in the future. Right.
Flor says she has to get out of Soledad's room otherwise Luba and Gaspar will worry about her. She starts to tell Soledad about Emiliano AGAIN and gets all goopy. It's gross.
Don Loco asks Rutilo who is the stupid fool who helped Flor to escape? Rutilo says nobody at the haciendo would disobey the patron's orders. Sergio is skulking and eavesdropping. After Rutilo leaves he tells Don Loco that Rutilo is up to something. Don Loco tells Sergio the ratfink to keep an eye on Rutilo.
Coral's friends are getting restless. They're tired of being cooped up with only their CFM shoes, skimpy dresses, booze and each other.
Don Loco goes back to Soledad's prison (room) and Flor hides again. He tells Soledad he'll kill them both if Flor tries to escape again. Soledad tells him he gets crazier every time she sees him. After he leaves Flor asks her mom if he really meant it. Here's an idea, why don't you poison him just in case?
Don Loco hears Soledad's words in his head...loco...loco...loco...
Gaspar has taken Orlando back to the cave so Luba can help him. Orlando kind of insults the cave and Luba kind of insults him back. He asks if they live there alone. Flor walks in and says, "no sir, I live here too." Orlando is impactado.
He starts talking about Emilio and Luba gives a big, wide, obvious yawn. He changes the subject and tells Flor he hopes they can be friends. Luba is very funny in this scene.
Angel asks the housekeeper Vera to tell him more about Flor. He says he would like to help Flor. Vera gets very excited and jumps all over the offer, but Emilio enters and she leaves. He tells Angel he doesn't want to hear her name in the house. Angel looks at his portrait of Flor.
Orlando introduces himself to Flor, he is just a lowly lieutenant and at her service. She says her name is Flor, she is the daughter of a foreman. She was abandoned as a child and Luba and Gaspar adopted her so she lives in the cave. Orlando says not all men are like Emiliano Valtierra. (Luba rolls her eyes throughout this conversation) To him a woman is simply a woman and has his complete respect. He kisses Flor's hand, Flor smiles, Luba scowls.
Don Loco has flashbacks to the early, happy days of his marriage, then he convinces himself he was betrayed as was Soledad's father, blah blah blah. I wish he'd shoot himself and put himself out of our misery.
Luba tells Flor that all men are alike, they start out as gentlemen then remove their masks to reveal the cobra underneath. They are worse than dogs! In fact, dogs are good, intelligent, good-hearted. That's our Donkey all right!! She must be reading our comments! Luba tells Flor to beware of this new gentleman, he's like all the others. Gaspar pipes up, he doesn't like him either.
Orlando has returned to La Rinconada. He tells Emilio that even though he was caught in the whirlpool he's not hurt, in fact he's positively euphoric. The idiot Gaspar saved him and took him to his cave. Orlando is being the king of gloat and Emilio is getting irritated. Heh heh. Orlando says he saw a delicious and enchanting creature, Flor del Campo.
Flor recalls Don Loco's words and she asks Donkey what to do. Orlando! He wants to be her friend, he'll help her.
Emilio is once again dreaming of kissing Flor and he is once again sulking. Orlando walks in and does that thing that makes grumpy people grumpier, he tells him not to be in such a bad mood. He says Emilio must be thinking of...Thelma. Dohhh! Just when Emilio had forgotten. To twist the knife Orlando says he's very interested in the cave girl Flor. Emilio leaves in a huff and Orlando calls him an imbecile.
Flor is gathering herbs when Emilio, in uniform, runs up and forces her to kiss him. He's such a charmer. "So we meet again," he says. Charming and original. Five long seconds later she pushes him away. They have the stolen necklace versus stolen kiss argument again. She says she is trespassing on his land to pick herbs to treat her doggie that his Uncle Maximo tried to kill. She says he and Don Maximo are just rich guys who exploit their workers. He tries to hold her and she runs off.
Marianita visits Estrellita who is much worse. Estrellita's mother tells Mariana that Estrellita is dying. Marianita tries to cheer Estrellita up by telling her not to lose hope and giving her her hat. When the mothers come in they find Marianita laying next to Estrellita to comfort her. Marianita leaves her special hat for Estrellita to wear.
Central America - A hot, foxy guerilla chica sits down next to Jose. She says she is Felicia, sister to the head honcho. "Oh, great," says Jose, rolling his eyes. She says he is chained to the bed because he tries to escape. Jose says he doesn't want to join them. Felicia touches his chin and says she likes stubborn guys like him. She's trouble in tight pants.
Don Loco is riding around his coffee plantation whipping a poor, skinny peon in the face for not ratting out Rutilo. By comparison, Emilio rides his field expressing concern that his workers labor hard and earn little.
Back in the cave Flor is waxing romantic about Emilioooo's kiss. "Emilioooo, I love you when I should hate you for judging me badly."
Emilio tells Don Maximo he wants to go over the workers' wages. He's shocked at what he sees, they are so very low, at the poverty level! Starting tomorrow he will double their wages. Don Max chokes on his cigar, "Que que que?? Nephew, you're crazy!" "No tio, that's why they say you're robbing them," says Emilio. After he leaves Don Max tells Braulio to increase the wages by 30 percent, not 100 percent.
Emilio's buddies are drinking and talking about a fair tomorrow for the workers. There will be games and activities. Orlando says "she'll like that." "Who?" they all ask. Orlando says it will be a surprise.
Soledad and Adela are looking at pictures of little Alina. Soledad and Adela wonder if Jose will ever return and help clear Soledad's name. Soledad says her only hope now is Elias, Elias could help them.
Speaking of which, Elias asks Blanca if there is any news? He's been thinking of Soledad and Alina. "Ahhhh...thinking of Soledad?" she asks pointedly. "Aw shucks honey, she's just a friend, OUR friend," he says. Blanca says she hasn't forgotten he was in love with her. Elias says ever since she married Don Loco they have been Just Friends. He says his work is about finished and at the end of the week they can visit the plantation and investigate.
Flor tells Rosita that she ran into Emilianoooo again. She made him mad by telling him he was rich and he exploited his workers. They traded insults and spit.
Emilio dreams and rants.
Don Maximo tells Braulio to tell the workers it was he who increased their wages, not Emilio. He grabs a yellow rosebud and asks Braulio how is Rosita? "Tell her to come and clean my office tomorrow." He says to the rose, "Rosita, by luck, by money, or by misfortune you will be mine (kisses rose) all mine."
Don Loco, who has nothing better to do than whip his workers and watch Soledad, asks Soledad why she is crying. She's looking at pictures of better days. Surprise! He threatens her again.
Orlando, who loves to dig at everyone, tells Coral that their dear friend Emiliano, who has always been popular with the ladies, is interested in a little Flor. "Flor???" asks Coral. Remember, that's what he called her yesterday.
Don Loco, out riding and tormenting his peons, sees a couple kissing on the hillside. He thinks it's Soledad and Jose. He takes out his gun and aims. But it's not blonde Soledad, it's a dark-haired worker who pleads with him not to shoot her boyfriend. Don Loco hears Soledad's words, "Loco...loco...loco..."
Flor walks along a dusty path. Someone arrives on horseback but we cannot see who it is. She looks up and says "You??" ("Usted?")

Sylvia, you doll to do this. Good one! I like the idea of Don Loco shooting himself. Ojala. I like the idea of Angel saving Flor and riding off into the sunset with her. Surely they can find him some antibiotics somewhere, it's the 21st century. Emilliooo is a horse's ass. Maybe that's why Alina likes him - he reminds her of her moron daddy.
Sylvia great job! I liked your trouble in tight pants and your critical inquiry into the habits of Don Loco and Emilioooo. Very clever.
Thank you for being such a great pinch hitter! You gave us a great recap in record time. Thank you again.
But! I had a brain freeze when you mentioned CFM shoes. The ones Coral and her gal pals were wearing. What are those? In Texas we have codes for some types of car licenses. One is the RTM - Ranch to Market - so I was thinking CFM shoes might be something like that. At second thought maybe I have been over thinking that......
Another thing I think is interesting is how the first part of this show, even after Flor was kidnapped, they showed Emilio loving Angel. Angel gave him that congratulations painting, Emilio constantly checked on Angels health, etc. Yet the minute they arrive at the Rinconada they become Cain and Able. Tsk Tsk

Wow, great "on the fly" post, Sylvia. You are a pro!
It was interesting how politics entered into this episode. Apart from calling Emilio, abusive etc. when he kisses her, Flor accuses him of exploiting his workers. Paying them too little. Emilio then goes home and asks Maximo to double their wages. (Maximo being the real exploiter only raises them 1/3 and tells Braulio to give him the credit).
Next we find out that the people who captured Jose and Arcadio may not be drug runners, they are guerilla rebels! Actually, being one doesn’t automatically exclude the other. You were right to point out that the chick who showed up talking about “the cause” and wearing a beret looked like a rebel, not a drug runner.
Emilio may eventually figure out what corrupt activities his uncle and don loco are up to and we may yet see an emancipation. But Emilio is in the army and these rebels are anti-government so we may see some political violence on this show, on top of everything else.
One difference I've noticed is that in Venezuela, some of the most popular novelas have politics in them. These seldom go abroad, however. The mexican novelas I've seen are 100% escapist fantasy, in beautiful locations. That's understandable. I enjoy them for the same reasons!

Ahem...CFM =Come F**k Me, not very nice I'm afraid but considering who was wearing them I thought it was probably OK to say that.
Interesting point about the Emilio/Angel conflict. No doubt it is because Flor/Alina has entered the picture,i.e. a woman is causing strife where before none existed.
I've discovered that since I stopped trying to make sense out of the actions of these characters I am enjoying this show a lot more. There is still a good deal of repetetive conversation but at least it has action. Jose getting involved with the rebels/drug runners is promising.

Stellar recap...
Yes, Emilioooooooo is a true galan, pretty but so damn dumb, that perhaps taking him off life support would be a blessing.
I sure am glad when we went thru the Federali traffic stops in Mx...that Emiliooooo & the boys weren't manning them cause, well of course I am getting a bit too old to be crammed in a 3rd world cathouse....but one can dream I guess.
My husband says Don Loco would have his head bashed in by a local & the body would never be found...

Great recap, Sylvia, as always....with very entertaining editorials! I didn't get to watch last night, but I don't think I need to with this terrific recap!
I love the "50 ways to leave your lover" ideas for offing Don Loco. Add my "run over by a random horse" from a couple of days ago to your list in the recap, and we have real options to off the old bugger.

Thank you for clarifying what "CFM" means. I feel a little ditzy for asking that. It's all so obvious now...
I want Don Loco to keel over in pain from a heart attack brought on as he hallucinates that Soledad is with someone else. Ha! I dislike him so.
Sylvia you are right to let this one just flow, to not look for meaning or continuity. It really is a silly and fun show.

Once again I am ROTFLMAO. Well...looks like we are going to the FAIR!!! Good times! I loved the local fair when I was a kid. Al the 4H ers brought their Black Angus for judging... and eventual sale and slaughter. [The harsh realties of growing up in the Campo. Let the games begin. My favorite comment was, ''I wish he'd shoot himself and put himself out of our misery.'' Amen to that. Plus, I immediately thought of several folks in my own personal novela that I could apply that idea to. I also enjoyed , ''Gaspar pipes up.'' It made me think of that weird ''Simmer down now'' skit on SNL. You'd think Orlando would be greatful to sweet Gaspar for saving him , but nooooooo. I also liked the description of Flor and Emilioooo trading ''insults and spit.'' I must comment on the uniforms worn by these army engineers...they look a lot like the ones that my friends in the Civil Air Patrol wore in high school..same hats, same uniforms, but the guys in my 10th grade class did not wear the kneehigh boots...I'm not sure what they wore on their feet.... I know it wasn't CFM shoes...but , then ,they were 16, so ANY shoes they wore were PCFM shoes, right? I liked your use of the word ''huff'' when describing Emiliooooo...Huffy Mchufferson [shout out to Slutty Mcslutterson in ''Heridas'' ]. However, I so enjoy typing all those ''o''s at the end of Emiliooooo's name, so I'm sticking with that. I found a perfect teeshirt for Don Loco. It read : ''The voices inside my head aren't real, but they have some pretty good ideas.''[I bought it for a family member.] Also, you know what a REAL brother would have done when Emiliooo tells Angel that he doesn't want to hear Flor's name. As big brother was walking out of the room, there would have been the tiniest, softest whisper ... ''flor''. Lastly, I loved the ''trouble in tight pants'' phrase.~~~Susanlynn, trouble in socks and sensible shoes

Just a WAG but I think the mysterious whirlpool in the river will do away with Don Loco. So many people have nearly succumbed to it, it's practically a character in the show!
I just noticed that I've been calling Emilio Emiliano. I fixed that in this recap but will let it stay in the others, goodness knows how long I've been doing that! Also, I didn't add vocab words because Lynn's were so cute. I have a couple and will save them for next week.

Awesome job Sylvia. I'll have to get back to you on the Alfonsina/Thelma topic, I haven't seen this episode. I did note and comment in the first week, though, how Alfonsina has killer abs. The outfir she had on didn't show much else. I will do some serious, scholarly research on this. If there is a single solitary male reader out there perhaps they can comment too. There has to be somebody, I can't be the only one.
There was a storm here and my power is out. If it doesn't come back on within three hours, I won't be able to watch and recap Duelo de Pasiones tonight. I'm sorry.
If I am able to watch the show, I'll post another note here in the comments before 9 PM ET. If you don't see anything from me, it means I still don't have power. Very sorry.

Margaret, the whirlpool! That's the best idea yet!

Carmel dont worry I can do your night if you dont get power. Least I can do. I'll watch for your notes.
Hope its just a rain storm and not an ice storm you are going through. Its awful to not have power when its freezing outside. Fingers crossed for you!

Lynn, thanks so much! I've got my power back now so I should be able to do it. I'm in Florida so it was a rain storm, not ice.
We do get a lot of power outages here -- summer will be particularly tricky, if I'm still doing recaps then. I'm always biting my nails during hurricane season.
