Caray, Caray!

I know why or at least I think I know why the days of repeated flashbacks....This was during Christmas Week in Mexico, cause Juan Cristobal was muy grave, when Dr. Livingston (me) entered the jungle and tonite's episode was the one I saw when Stanley found me and brought me back to civilization....I didn't really pay close attention cause actually I was way more concerned about LFMB...but anyway I have seen several TeleNovelas slow down during the holidays....Now on to the Nuclear Winter that exists due to the death of Regina and the disappearance of that lil Breck Girl MA....

Sylvester and Shorty are sitting around Sylvesters's house, Elsa is at work. Shorty invites Sylvester over for comida (they named several things), but the only one I caught was "tostada de pata", ah yes tostada of pigs feet. If you care there is a recipe over somewhere on the LFMB blog for this little delite, I did not know this existed, til I heard it on LFMB, and now everytime it is mentioned I hum "Ava Maria" in thanks that I am still a stranger to that delicacy. I had to cook Pigs Feet once, yes they were the second source of protein in some menudo, (in-laws were coming), anyway you have to cook them for hours and keep changing the water cause it gets quite gelinous...I just ate refritos...nuf said.
Looking at Sylvester it is really hard to believe he is the other half of the Elsa/Sylvester union of angst...he seems so happy...I think he is trying to attract positive energy....Aaaahhhh it is not working.

Gabe is pacing and frantic cause still no word on MA...oh he would happily give her up if only she was safe...Gabe is doing the aloud praying trying to make a deal with God. Gabe prays & does alot of promising before the picture of the Virgen Mary...Like I will quit impregnating women half my age.

Elsa is at work and Otilla is firmly chastising her. Otilla is holding some material and it appears Elsa cut it wrong. Even though Elsa is an adult and married she always gives off the aura of angsty goth teen. Otilla is questioning her and Elsa is all like, yeah I cut it, got a problem with that? "Ah hija," says Otilla and off we go into a PSA..alcohol will rob you of your family, your money...everything...Otilla has an alcoholic brother, thus she knows of what she speaks...Elsa tries to deny it, but Otilla pulls the bottle outta Elsa's purse. ***This would have been a perfect product placement...Jose Cuervo****. Alas, Elsa will take no advice and Otilla ends up canning her.

Joselyn meets with Coyote and gives him a smack for showing up at the Manse...Yeah we get the employer/employee risin above your station thing here. Coyote tells Joselyn he has MA engagement ring and medallion, Joselyn takes them. Joselyn wants Coyote to torture MA, before whacking her. She gives him a tape of Luis David sayin Mama, Mama, Mama...Oh Snap, Joselyn, you are so BSC. Let the games begin.

We see MA lying on the floor of a filty apartment, there is a rat sitting on a shelf...MA is blindfolded and hands behind her back, she is crying and begging for release. Her hair is still all nice and shiny. The camara keeps focusing on the Rat...hmmmmm I'm getting a total Willard circa 73 feeling here. Could she befriend the rat and he would gnaw thru her bonds? Just a thought.

Elsa is walking down the street when that guy (Coyote's friend & he used to be the big pimp daddy at Ti's club) steps out and grabs Elsa. He is doing the "Hi little girl want some candy" only it is Hooch, booze, or Elsa's life blood...she trys to brush him off, but to no avail, soon she is swiggin it down. This always amazes me too; Elsa is an adult and the guy always pulls it out of his pocket like it is crack cocaine...geez it a bad choice, but it isn't illegal.

There is a knock at the door of Gabrial's departmento of pain, he runs to the door, but the hallway is empty...Oh look an envelope on the floor. What could it be? Why it is the ring and medallion of MA....Egads what evil. This prompts major production cost saving measures...instead of flashbacks everyone just repeats dialogue like three time...Por Que, ditto, ditto....MA, MA, MA, No Puede Ser, ditto, ditto, ditto...Gabe is sobbing on the couch...come to think of it, that couch has seen more crying jags than a sorority house couch during the thros of an STD outbreak. Donde esta MA? Donde Donde Donde Por Dios Donde Donde Donde...also thruout this ordeal Gabe is holding and talking to a 5X7 of MA.

Elsa makes it home and drunkinly calls out to Sylvester. Sylvester of course is off enjoyed pata de porco and Elsa pulls out the bottle.

Now artistically cut to Demian..he too is holding a glass of brandy, ah okay I get it alcohol makes you an alcoholic or evil...He is vowing revenge for the death of lovely Regina, yes Juan Cristobal, Leo and Dolores must die and what the hell, Demian is gonna throw in Gabe just for good measure. I say get on with it Demian, and quit yapping about it, make a believer outta me.

Leo is at home with his mother, ah MA...is missing and Leo is all upset, where could she be? Leo too is ready for a full on crying jag..Candelabra tries to calm down Leo, but he is in the full thros of angst.

Meanwhile back at the Manse the two Elder Weird Sisters are cackling and enjoying a fine glass of spirits...Anvil falls...okay okay bad people drink alcohol. Miriam & Joselyn are delighted that MA is being tortured and Joselyn tells Miriam about the Mama, Mama, Mama recording. Parental proudness shines from Miriam's face...she is going to get a "MY Child is an Honor Student at Psycho MiddleSchool" bumpersticker.

Coyote creeps into the scumming place where MA is being held, he pulls your standard three hole, "Stick em Up & Give Me all Your Cash" stocking cap. He removes the bandana from MA's eyes and cuts the duct tape from her arms. Oh it is dinner time. MA begs her release, but Coyotes just says "shhhhhhhhhh", Ben the Rat watchs warily. Ben looks pretty wiley, I believe he could take Gabe in a round of Jeopardy.

Now JC is sitting in his Departmento de Depression, when there is a knock at the door....Papa, yes indeed Demian has come to see his son and tell him once again what a sorry loser JC is cause he is alive and Regina is dead, Pa Pa you are rubbing salt in the wounds, but Demian continues berate him. I've notice when Demian is crazed his eyebrow stands up all spiky behind the patch....well it was way spiked now. Damian leaves. JC is left to sit all guilty and dejected whispering "Papa".

Demian is at the House of Evil and confronts Ti, Ti is worried about the Nic Nye Science Guy, ratting them out to the police about shoddy work. Demian is not worried in the least cause he is just gonna blame it all on Ti. Ti betrayed him when he didn't let Demian strangle or at least severely smack Dolores, Ti says she is my Madre. Demian not to give an inch retorts, I am your Padre...ewwww Check
Anyhow he tells Ti that Coyote is outta jail and he wants to talk to him. Poor Ti, if there wasn't a 45 year old age limit, I'd call Child Protective Services.

Nic Nye Science Guy, comes to see Gabe, who is babbling and speaking magic speak of repeating everything three times. Nic is at a loss for what to tell Gabe. Apparently the investigation is going nowhere. Ya think? Missing 20 something female in Mexico City, dark hair and eyes.

Sylvester arrives home with ummmmm a covered plate, tostadas de pata, I'm willing to bet. He turns on the lite and there is Elsa lying on the floor, passed out, but with a smirk on her face. Sylvester must carry her off to bed, haaaa I bet he hasn't seen her smile in the bedroom, in like oh shall we say ever?

Next day Gabe arrives at the Manse as Joselyn is tearing up a picture of Clemente...she remarks that Gabe doesn't look like he slept well. Gabe tells her the MA tale of woe, he believes Coyote has something to do with MA missing and he did it for money. Gabe you are such a tool. Gabe has come to get Luis Gabe so the boys have go to the park. Joselyn wants to tag along.

Damian opens his brief case and has a picture of Regina and himself, I guess it is their Wedding Picture, it is at least an 8X12, see Demian's is bigger. He chats it up a bit with Regina and promises revenge and so on.

At HangOver Acres...things are not going well...Sylvester says Elsa needs help...No way No Clinic..Sylvester next suggest AA, and actually says some of the 12 step stuff...Elsa's head hurts, well so does mine from all the dropping anvils...
Elsa goes into a rage and screams she wants a divorce. Poor Sylvester reacts the only way a man can react on a TeleNovela...he bursts into tears.

JC is sitting in the departmento de depression remembering Paulina and his Wedding Day...cue the sappy music...Wow two of those flashback people are dead...Lui & Ma...anyhow now flashback to Demian's latest rant....Gawd it is like living in an Edgar Allen Poe Poem, just get a raven dude.

Coyote is standing outside his apartment of pain and chowing down on a corn muffin, while playing his badass gangsta 1980's boom box...Mama, Mama, Mama...I guess it would be hard for MA to hear it from an Ipod. Anyway she is blindfolded again and in hysterics at the sound of her son's voice...Ben watches from the shelf...Run Ben Run, tell them MA is in the Well....oh wait that was Lassie.

Karen and Paulina are all happy at the office, yes JC is still completely depressed, but on the up side Paulina is getting an UltraSound.

Gabe & Joselyn are in the Park having a lovely outting with the two boys....OMG how the rich do live...actually Joselyn & Gabe are yacking it up and the two servant girls in their lovely little pink servant dresses are lugging the kids around...Now that's what I'm talking about...family time.

Paulina misses her UltraSound cause, JC is missig when she gets home. JC is at the grave of Regina, sobbing.

JC is back home and Leo comes over and berates JC to get over it, pull his head out and start showing some consideration for Paulina. Score one for Leo. Paulina comes out, hugs JC and some of the darkness lifts...I know this cause the JC/Paulina song of Amor is blaring and making dust clouds jump on my entertainment center...

Lastly Demian is talking to Coyote...he throws a big ol bag of $$ at the Coyote...he wants him to whack Leo then he has somemore whacking for him to do. See and usually it is really hard for felons to find productive work...Kudos Coyote, you have a regular business going.

The End.....Sorry if this was rambling, but Gawd this thing is awful.

Tommorrow....the UltraSound
Leo's Clinic catches on fire...Burn baby Burn..(remember it is made
outta cement blocks)

My dream....somehow MA can transplant both Ben's brain and personality into Gabe.
