Mundo -- Wednesday 2/21 Meet Leo, "the ever-ready bunny"

*We leave off with Reg going into cardiac arrest... *gasp & roll-eyes* Delores screams for the always available Leo. They tell her to cough... (that's a new one on me...) Leo puts something under her tongue and tells her to cough ( are you supposed to cough when you're having a heart attack? hmmm...) She wheezes saying she's going to die and calls out for JC.

*Joz goes to see Gabe in his office, he's short with her... she reminds him they have a child in common... he says "anything else?"... she says no and leaves...

*Meanwhile, MA's been chatting with Diana about the whole situation with Dam pretending to be Gabe... Diana says she totally understands. They chat about what women feel when men cheat on them. MA tells her how horrible she felt when she saw Dam pretending to be Gabe and kissin-up Joz... MA says she recognizes her mistake in not trusting Gabe and how he's now distant and cold... she doesn't blame him for it.

*Back at the hospital Leo is injecting something into Regina's IV, who is whining and whimpering... Pau and Ti come in and Leo tells them to get out... they resist but Dolores scoots them out... Pau whimpers and they both leave. Reg whimpers that she's in pain... Leo cradles her face telling her to be calm...

*Nic gives MA a magazine telling her she has great review in it and he congratulates her on her achievements and leaves. The magazine has her on the cover and it's called Éxito (success). She looks sad and pensive...

*In Dam's office he receives a phone call about Regina's condition... Ti tells him Regina has turned for the worse... he yells no, no and "runs" out of the office...

*Joz visits MA in her office and says to MA that she imagines that MA feels like she's on cloud nine. MA smiles fakely and says yes, she's quite proud of herself and what's more, she is all the more proud cuz she didn't have to connive her way to the top... Joz smiles fakely and struts out of the office...

*Ti is in the waiting room when Dam comes in and grabs him by the collar and shakes him asking what is happening!?! Ti informs him that Reg had a heart attack but the docs are stabilizing her... Dam runs down the hospital corridor yelling, "Regina, Regina!"

*Pau calls Gabe to let him know about Reg... he leaves right away, MA walks in and runs out the door with him.

*Dam, leaning over Regina's sleeping body, cries "you are the most important to me..." blah, blah... and yells "por que, por que." The nurse tries to calm him but he's having none of it. He yells at her and she walks away. He exclaims that Regina can't leave him alone...

*The nurse has returned with Leo, always a few feet away, and a couple of hospital henchmen... who attempt to cart him away... it's not an easy task for the henchmen, to say the least... Dam swings them all around the room but they are eventually successful and drag him off while he yells, "suelte me."


*Regina looks catatonic...


*At Miriams designery, or whatever its called, she's telling Joz that she told her not to do that stupid trick on MA with Dam... the phone rings... It's Karen letting Mir know she can't make it to work cuz Reg is having big troubles... Mir tells her she belongs with her family and what happens to Regina means nothing to her. Kar tells her she's sorry but she's staying at the hospital then hangs up. Joz asks what's up and Mir lets her know about Regina and Karen staying at the hospital instead of coming into work. Joz decides to go to the hospital... (big surprise). Mir says she's making a mistake and cannot count on her (Mir) for help. Joz glares at her.


*Gabe and MA reach the hospital and Karen tells them Leo is tending Reg. Also, no one is to tell JC what is happening... Gabe ruminates that Dam is capable of anything...

*Dol tries to stop Dam out in the hospital hallway... he screams about how this is all JC's fault... Dol tries to stop him from going further... Gabe comes into the scene and Dam tells him to mind his own business... Dam and Gabe and Dol go back and forth about how they aren't going to let him in to see JC...

*In JC's room Pau hears them outside as JC sleeps... JC wakes up and they both hear Dam and Gabe fighting outside the room... JC tries to go see what is happening and Pau stops him.

*In the hallway Gabe tries to talk Dam into being calm. Dam accuses Gabe of being at fault for what is happening to Regina. (Where did Dol go?) Leo comes into the scene telling them to calm down... Dam grabs Leo by the collar and blames him for Regina's condition. He tells him that if
something happens to Reg he (Leo) is going to pay... Pau runs into the scene telling Dam to calm down, Dam tells her to shut up. Dam says they are all to blame, he was against this even if it meant JC had died. Pau is flabbergasted and says, "he's you own son!" Dam reveals that it doesn't matter, the only thing that matters to him is Regina. Leo hopes God forgives him... Dam says if they are such believers to go pray for Regina but no one is going to calm his anger. My closed captioning says someone said "AH!"

*Diana gets off the phone saying she's on her way... and tells Ingrid that Regina has turned for the worse... Else is very pensive... Ingrid says since she came back from her honeymoon it seems like she doesn't care about anything and ruminates about how a woman in love is supposed to be... Else thinks getting married was a mistake.

*At the hospital Gabe tells MA that Dam is like a wounded wild animal. Joz waltzes in asking how Regina is... MA rolls her eyes... MA asks her if she hasn't already caused enough harm... Dam tries to calm everyone down...says they'll all talk about this later... Joz slinks off.

*JC asks Pau what is happening as she comes back in from Dam's tantrum... she says it's just an argument about the constructoria, as always...

*Karen laments about what is happening to Regina and how it affects JC and Pau... Rog is surprised to hear her talk that way. She says she wants to change and not live an empty life... I couldn't tell if Rog was touched or sickened by her feelings...

*Dolores attends Regina... Reg says her time is up and she asks Dol to care for JC.. She says she's not suffering because she's done this for her son. Dol begs her to fight for her life, but swears she's be there for JC all the while saying she (Reg) is going to be fine. Reg asks to see MA and Gabe...
(I think this is going to be one of those long final speeches...) Dol goes to get them... Reg sobs.

*JC knows something is up... he demands Pau to tell him what's up...

*Gabe and MA walk in to visit Regina... Reg starts with the deep gasping breaths... she lets them know her life has been full and asks them not to let anything like anger or envy get in the way of their happiness. They all hold hands... she tells them to be happy and fight, fight.

*Ti walks up to Dol who is outside of Regina's door... he asks why she's crying and she tells him that Reg is leaving them. He's surprised Reg is that bad off. He's surprised she gave her life for someone else. Dol goes off on how that's what Mom's do for their kids and she'd do the same for him...
blah, blah... They look lovingly at each other, Ti grunts a few times then yells mamá, mamá, mamá, mamá, mamá, mamá as he squeezes the living heck out of her, then starts to sob uncontrollably. (Wow!) Then asks for her forgiveness and rushes off. Dol sobs.

*Somehow Pau has made it into Regina's room with Gabe and MA's gone. Reg tells her this is goodbye. All I can say is she MUST be dying for all the long winded goodbye speeches she's making to everyone. She tells Pau to take care of JC. Reg and Pau sob together. Regina goes into some sort of spasm or something and Gabe runs for the doctor.

*Dam stomps into JC's room and lets him know that his mother is dying and it's all his fault.

*Regina has kinda come around but the look on her face is like, well, she's all red and her eyes are about to pop out of her head. She looks more like she should be in a horror movie than a novela... I know that's mean but good grief she looks horrible!

*Leo, the ever-ready bunny, comes running in the room... both Regina and Pau are gasping, it's like, gasping in stereo!

*Reg tells Leo not to work too hard cuz it's over for her... he wants to take her somewhere but she refuses, convinced that her time has come. She begs him to let her say her goodbye's. He's looking convinced when several people make their way into the room, it's Candy, Dol and MA, oh, and the priest, then JC. She looks terrorized but I think she's actually trying to look immensely sad... JC stagers and coughs his way to her bed...

*JC says it's his fault she's dying... she says no... he has an obligation to God and to life... her grandchild needs him.... She tells him to raise his son to be a good man like him. They cry at each other... She asks God to help her accept that she won't be at his side anymore.... then she gasps several times with her eyes wide... the camera flashes briefly to the Priest... she tells JC she'll be waiting for him and that his happiness is all she asks. Then she passes out; the sound of the hart monitor goes flat.

*JC caresses her head and cries telling her to go in peace... The Priest prays over her while JC sobs... Dam enters pushes JC onto the floor and screams Regina, Regina Regina...

*Dam demands that everyone gets out. He accuses JC of killing her... He pushes half the people out... then Dam & Pau help JC out of the room. Dam sobs and kisses Regina's hand... he screams, "AHHHH!"

*JC is helped into bed by Leo and Gabe. He is saddened by his father and despondent over his mother...

*Meanwhile, Dam is also despondent and blaming JC for her death as he caresses her hand. He says she's not dead, just sleeping... and seems to be loosing his mind.

*Gabe knocks on the door, jiggling the handle telling him to let him in... but Dam seems not to hear anything and continues caressing Regina's dead hand... ew! and sad...

Comments:
Whoever blogs next is going to have an easy time if all goes as usual - the episode (or two) after a death usually being devoted to each cast member in turn getting to "react" to the death for a few minutes. Since they all say the same thing you can just go: Leo's turn. Karen's turn. etc.

Now Demian will be able to really roar, which should satisfy Beckster. No shred of humanity will hold him back.

If Tiberio did not look so dreadfully peculiar (with his ghastly plastic surgery{ (next to his mother who looks younger than he does), I would have liked that scene where he re-lived childhood loss and cooed mama mama mama.

Karen is boring now that she is "trying to change." Could they not let her maintain a little bit of personality even though she is Good?
 

First thought: So if Damian is a wounded wild animal, where are the tranquilizer guns and the nets and dog collars already?????? This guy was screaming at the top of his lungs and running through the halls and corridors of intensive care and post surgical wards, etc. and not a single security guard or policeman was called to haul his sorry arse off premises!! This character needed to be carried off to the psych ward again or to have somebody shoot him and put him out of his misery. Get real!!

2nd Thing: I am no medical person, but I believe they gave her a nitroglycerine capsule to melt under her tongue. I believe it is used to open up the arteries and/or to relax them so to speak, so more blood flows to/through the heart during this kind of heart attack. They keep saying "mycardial infarction" which means, roughly, somewhere in her heart not enough blood is getting through them to be pumped properly, I think.

3rd Thought: Demian's supposedly knocking Regina down the stairs is the real cause for this heart problem, according to the writers. So, all things being equal, HE is the one to blame, but he's literally too much of a lunatic to understand. GRRRR!!!!
 

Melinama:

Sorry, girlfriend, but now that you mention it, that cradle music and him actually cooing and saying mama a hundred times drove me to the looneybin. I didn't know whether to laugh at the total lack of imagination of the writers, or at myself for not changing the darned station at that point and just FF through that part when watching the tape later. That scene simply stretches the bounds of credulity to the breaking point in my not-so-humble opinion. =/:?(
 

Thanks for the recap...it was a hard one...trying to drum up sympathy for one of the worst death scenes, in recent memory.
If I wasn't so shallow I'd feel guilty for yelling "For the Love of Gawd, Die already", at the television...The cast of 1000's in the room...Why not just call in a VooDoo doctor, cause that was probably some of the worst medical care, I have ever seen. Yeah Demian you are so right...it is indeed everyone else's fault, Dude I am totally thinking revenge here.

Yeah I found the cradle music a little bizarre too
 

Well, I couldn't even watch this one. I switched to ''American Idol'' and was mesmerized by a young woman named Lakisha whom I am quite certain is going to be the next American Idol winner. Wow, she sang a song from ''Dreamgirls'' that Jennifer Hudson did and was so much better! Anyhoo, I could not bear to watch ''Mundo.'' I have enough crying, ranting, and moaning to deal with in real life, I could not watch this episode. And, I don't care how beautiful a person is...no one should let herself be photographed with the camera shooting from beneath her chin zooming right up her nose. Regina is a gorgeous woman , but...no...those were horrible shots. I am very tired of this novela...let me out. Stop the show ; I went to get off. I am still looking for some hombres with long hair and large muscles....brandishing swords and riding horses...hyperventilating with lust, love, anger, revenge...avenging the weak and punishing the evil. ~~Susanlynn, retreating back to the ''Alborada'' and ''Amor Real'' DVDs
 

What a loonnngggg death scene. Had to switch to Zorro a few times out of boredom (hombres, swords, and horses - yippee!).
Regina had no words of farewell for Demian, huh?
There's nothing holding him back now from complete lunacy and evil-doing. Should be fun!
 

Ha ha! Ruth, what a wonderful recap! I laughed hilariously throughout, especially your description of Regina's eyes popping out of her head, and gasping in stereo...brilliant! You are truly a saint for transcribing this incredibly long death scene. I could just see Demian swinging his arms around and causing immense pandemonium.

Jardinera, interesting point (#3) about Demian being at fault for Regina's heart attack. Would he be able to live with himself if he realized this fact?

Great job Ruth!!
 

Thanks for the recap, I didn't get to watch and didn't really want to DVR it.

I really didn't want Regina to die but I think knowing what kind of guy Demian really is would have probably given her a heart attack anyway.

Like I said it appears Demian loves Regina in his own weird way, so in a small way I feel bad for the dude but to let his son die rather than have Regina give up the marrow and blame him for his wife's death? No me gusta para nada. I don't like it all.
