Mundo de Fieras: 2/20/07 "Chickens Coming Home To Roost"

The transplant operation turns out to be a success and everybody is relieved. Leo once again has saved the day. Regina is fine and out of harm's way as well.

Dolores runs into Gabe in the hospital lounge and mentions to him that Mariangela has returned. He lets out one gi-normous sigh.

Mariangela is visiting with Candy in the old neighborhood again. Candy asks her why she doesn't stop putting things off and just confront Gabe and discuss whatever it is that's come between them. After all, she tells her, "You love him. Don't be so bitter about things." Mariangela thinks about facing up to her fears.

Rogelio with the same kind of confused look as his daddy's (like father like son) thinks back to what El Coyote was telling him. He wonders if Coyote was hinting that Demian had killed his mistress, Raquel.

Mariangela returns to the manse and runs into Jos in the hallway. Jos suggests she go ahead and sell her part of the house and leave already, because there isn't room for the two of them either in the house or in the construction company. Mariangela tells her that just like she told Miriam, she has no intention of selling. Jos says if she insists in their confronting one another there'll only be one ending: one of them will lose and only one will win. Mariangela tells her then she, and not Jos, will win the battle .

Gabe comes over to see Mariangela to ask why she left without saying good-bye. She tells him not to touch her or to even come near her. "What's happened to you?" he asks her. She tells him she doesn't want to see him again.

In Reggie's room Damian cries at his wife's bedside while waiting for her to regain consciousness. He tells her he doesn't know what he would do if he ever lost her. (What is he talking about? This guy is still fooling around with every woman who even blinks in his direction!)

Back at the manse again, Mariangela is screaming at Gabe for cheating on her with Jos. He tells her repeatedly that he has no idea what she's talking about. She says to stop pretending because she saw him and Jos together in his office, making a fool of her and kissing each other, talking about swindling her out of her father's inheritance. Gabe is impactado once more.

JC wakes up to find Pau at his bedside. He again asks who the donor was and Pau tells him that because she is doing fine now she will tell him. She tells him it was his mother and JC is close to tears because his mother has saved his life and so has given him life again.


Gabe and Mariangela are still in the middle of their fight when it finally comes to Gabe in a flash that it might have been his hateful, jealous twin who was out to get even by mascarading as him. He asks her didn't all this seem even a bit suspicious to her, considering Jos is the woman he most despises in the world? How could she have just judged him outright like that? (In effect, she knew he had a jealous twin as well as a crazy, jealous, constantly scheming ex-wife, that would do anything to cause problems for him, but Mariangela, Mexico's most recent and most brilliant rising star of industry, didin't have the common sense to consider this as a possibility.) Mariangela realizes Gabe definitely has a point here.

Gabe tells her it is obvious she doesn't love him as much as he loves her. Her love is fragile and weak. It didn't matter to her a bit what he might have been thinking or feeling. He promises her though, in the end, that he will show her the love he has for her and how she has been totally wrong about everything. Disappointed in her, he shakes his head, and leaves, slamming the door on his way out. (All right! He does have some cajones. I thought either Jos or she had put 'em in a lock-box somewhere!)

After Gabe leaves, Mariangela realizes she owes him an apology.

Eventually the doctor gives JC permission to be wheeled in his wheelchair to his mother's room. So, the next day Pau takes him to see Regina and JC tells Reggie that he has one more reason to admire her. He tells her that he is what he is because of the kind of mother she has been with him. (Ok. A little syrupy sentimentality is nice, but this is reaching diabetes-inducing range.)

Gabe goes to Demian's place and finds Demian there talking with Tiberio. He tells him he knows about the little subterfuge with Jos and how the two of them tried to separate Mariangela and him in order to cause trouble. Demian lies and says that was impossible because he was out eating breakfast with Ti. Ti backs his daddy up and Gabe, apopleptic about now, calls them both liars. He says that Demian and he are now back to square one and the merger is off. He storms out. (Score another one for Gabe!)

Mariangela, still at the manse, goes downstairs and confronts Jos about her trying to trick her and nearly destroying her relationship with Gabe. When Jos pretends she doesn't know what Mariangela's talking about, Mariangela becomes furious and tells Jos not to think that she is going to get her own way in this. Jos tells her to give up because she'll never get the better of her. She should realize that she and Gabe will never be happy together. Mariangela warns her that she is going to fight for what is hers. Jos warns her not to let her guard down with a wild animal because when she least expects it, the animal strikes. "Then I will just end up caging you, Jos!"

Elsa is sneaking another swig of hooch out of her pint behind the coatrack when Otilia comes up and surprises her. Elsa begs her not to fire her or to tell her mother. Otilia says she has no intention of firing her, but suggests she attend Alchoholics Anonymous to get help. Elsa says she doesn't think she can force herself.

At the same time Sylvestre comes over to speak with Candy and he tells her that he found Elsa's bottle of hooch during their honeymoon. She had fallen off the wagon after all. He says he loves her though and will see that she eventually stops drinking. Candy is heartsick at the news that Elsita has fallen back into the "clutches of alchohol".

Ti has a conversation with Dolores, who apologizes for missing out on celebrating his birthday with him. He realizes now it was for a good reason. She asks if his father celebrated with him instead. He answers that Demian didn't but he never has bothered to. She says she'll discuss that with him. Ti says not to bother. Demian has always had only one interest and that has been Regina. Never once, he adds, has he shown a bit of affection towards him, nor given even a word of encouragement. He tells her then that he realizes that his father has never loved him as a son. He is just one more employee to Demian.

Mariangela finds Demian at the office and tears him a new one for trying to trick her by impersonating his brother and getting her to believe Gabe was double-timing her with Jos. Demian tries to verbally swat her away and denies everything. He even accuses her of setting him up to get him in trouble with his brother, but Mariangela tells him to stuff it. She warns him she will not be as foolish next time.

Demian threatens Mariangela, saying he is worse than her worst nightmare. She answers him back that if he tries anything again, he is the one who will find out what she is capable of doing and she will make him pay dearly. He should not doubt that she can hurt him and she will. She storms out and the first thing Demian thinks to himself is that she's sexy when she gets angry....... (What was this about Regina being his whole world and the love of his life? How quickly he forgets. I think this is called compartmentalizing......)

Gabe goes back to the manse to look for Jos since she never came in to work that morning. He finds her and complains about the trick she played on Mariangela with Demian in his office while he was gone. She of course denies this, which makes him even angrier. He tells her he's certain about it and yells at her about when will she ever come to realize that he wants her out of his life for good. "Enough already! You are going to pay dearly for this!" He turns around and leaves, slamming the door in her face. (Gabe is 3 for 3 tonight. He is so angry he is smokin'!) Jos begins to look worried that the jig is finally up.

Demian, in his office alone again, is furious with himself about joining in Joselyn's little intrigues. Now that the merger is off he knows that eventually Regina will find out the truth and he will never be able to live it down.

Once Gabe has returned to the office he fills Nicolas in about what has happened between him and Mariangela due to Jos and Demian's antics. He tells Nic that he's backing away from the merger. Nic says they'll have to call another major shareholder's meeting because that is the only way he can renig on the merger. Gabe says no they won't. He is the major stockholder and what he says goes, period.

Mariangela comes by to apologize to Gabe for her doubts and her rotten behavior towards him. He says he can forgive her, but it has been too painful an experience for him. He suggests they give each other some space for a while. She asks if he wants her to stay away. He suggests that it would be best but before she comes back she should think long and hard about whether she really loves him as much as he loves her.

Dolores goes in to visit with Reggie and they talk about how mothers will do anything to save the lives of one of their kids. Reggie tries to take a nap as Dolores says she'll stick around for a bit to watch over her for a while. Dolores is looking out the window when all of a sudden Regina begins to choke and gasp.

I saw half of this episode and really liked it. I agree, good to see Gabe have a little of the Force in him. And the rehabilitations continue!
 

two things I have issue with...is the recovery really that quick after such a long operation. JC was crusing around in a wheelchair like nothing and his mom was still recovering (of course in her case its understandable considering her heart). The funny thing is that in another novela on Telemundo that I watch one of the characters (she is supposed to be 17 years old) had the same procedure done, she still has not opened her eyes and it has been 3 days I think (the operation was also considered a success).

The other thing is while watching Demian along side Regina I almost felt sorry for him, but then I remembed how he was with Joseyln and that he killed people and I got angry again. Oh well, he really looked like he loves her in his own way.
 

Great recap...sounds like a good episode. Finally the befuddled Gabe went on down to the swap meet and turned in his AssHat (love that phrase Beckster!) for his long-missing cojones. I might actually watch this one.
 

Great funny recap....Gabe you was wronged!!!!Does this mean Prom is off?

Alas Demian I warned you...this is a Mexican TeleNovela; you don't play the Virgin Mary...
 

WHAT DOES ASSHAT MEAN???????
I wish you would answer that simple question. I have asked before, but you never answered.

As for me, I am still cackling over that one, beckster! "Me ahogo mi copa!"
