Zorro - April 5, 2007

* Diego asks Esmeralda to run away with him. She's in shock over his even suggesting it - He explains his plan and reasons - She can't do it, she has her mission to free her mom - He understands but they still can't stay apart.

* Dena finds Yumi and Al in the stables; Al and Yumi stop what they are doing when they see her. At the same moment, Garcia and his mule wander inside and he is talking to himself. Al interrupts Garcia and asks what he wants. He hands Al the special delivery letter.

* Esmeralda reminds Diego of his own mission as Zorro, and that he can't risk everything and protect his secret identity. Diego argues - Montero sees them talking and erupts in anger.

* Al responds that he is delighted by the royal honor, and thanks Garcia for bringing it to him. Garcia says it was the greatest pleasure for him to do so. Garcia asks for permission to enter the kitchen for something to eat and drink. Al grants permission (help yourself - the ladies will get whatever for you.) After Garcia leaves, Dena looks at Yumi and asks if she will leave. Yumi says of course, you two will be married soon anyway, and leaves disgruntled.

* MP cries to PT about Don Fer. PT sees her emotional and offers her a cup of water. She takes off her nun cap and contemplates whether Don Fer is telling the truth about his innocence - if so, then she is at fault for all the misery. PT reminds her about all the death at the indian camp, including Regina's. MP wonders if Don Fer didn't do it, then who did? MP also tells PT that she has made a big decision about her devotional career.

* Montero comes after Diego and is pushed into a water trough - the crowd gathers around to watch the spectacle. Montero gets up and goes after Diego again and Diego slugs him and he falls into the nearby fruit stand basket. Montero stands up - Diego stands up and without looking at him, he hits Montero in the head - knocking Montero senseless and Montero falls back down into the fruit basket. Diego looks down at Montero and tells him don't try that again, or the next time will be worse. Diego calls for his men and leaves.

* Montero stands on stage that night in front of the townspeople and makes the announcement and presentation of the royal honor bestowed on Don Alejandro. Esmeralda sits and stares at MA with her hand on Diego's arm. Montero places the award around Al's neck as the crowd applauds. In the audience, MP and Don Fer exchange glances.

* Bernardo is with Diego, as he is dressing in in formal tux in his bedchamber. Al enters and asks Bernardo to leave so they can talk privately before their wedding ceremony. Al gives Diego some fatherly advice and says how proud he is - Diego comments - Al continues to talk about Esmeralda and how he has backed away from her - Diego explains he is going through with the wedding because of Don Fer and MA. Al understands. Diego wishes his dad all the happiness in the world for him and Dena. They hug.

* Cata and the ladies help MA get ready in her wedding gown in her bedchamber. Olmos enters with a tea cup for MA - MA tells him to leave - he gives his opinions - she is annoyed and orders all the servants to leave the room - Cata whispers to MA that Diego is still in love with Esmeralda - MA is angry and is determined to make sure that Diego is all hers.

* Montero and Esmeralda have a fight about whether she can go to the wedding - Montero doesn't want her anywhere near Diego - she says she won't talk with him and will stay away from him. Montero is still annoyed and jealous. He orders her not to go to the wedding - she has to go Dena is her aunt. He threatens and mentions "their" baby. She tells him she is so sick of all his threatens so please stop it. He agrees with one final request.

* On the walkway at the hacienda, Al is talking to Bernardo about the letter with information from the investigators about Sara Kali's whereabouts and reasons why Montero has her hidden. He will tell Esmeralda this information.

* Esmeralda wishes Dena happiness with Don Alejandro; like Esmeralda dreams about having with her baby in her arms. Dena adds her wishes for Esmeralda and her baby. They hug.

* Al and Diego find Yumi dressed in her native mexican dress in the living room. Al asks why she's not dressed for the wedding - Yumi says she is dressed this way because she is a native mexican. Al asks Dolores to get an appropriate dress for Yumi to wear to the wedding. Yumi refuses the dress and says she won't be attending the wedding and walks away. Dolores chases after her. Diego asks Al what that was all about.

* Don Fer meets with MP outside - he wants to discuss her feelings after his confession and explanation. She tells him her feelings on the subject. He wonders what he can do to earn her forgiveness and a second chance. She is uneasy.

* Sor. Carola, Sor. Loca and the other nuns are working in the convent bakery room. Loca is arguing why she doesn't want MP to become Mother Superior at the convent. Carola sticks up for MP against Loca's attacks. The two start to fight.

* Tobias and Maestro discuss sword-fighting and Zorro as they play act the sword-fight in the living room. Maestro pulls something and Tobias has to help in sit on the sofa.

* Montero and Pizarro discuss Diego's wedding ceremony. They think there is a possibility that Zorro will appear. They laugh as they contemplate setting a trap to capture him.

* Esmeralda and Dena are still talking. Dena asks Esmeralda to come to the hacienda and visit her often. Esmeralda promises. Esmeralda tells Dena okay no more tears, Al and Diego are waiting. Dena asks Esmeralda not to go on any wild and crazy schemes alone to rescue her mother. Esmeralda promises as they leave the room.

* Al and Diego climb into their coach and talk.

* Esmeralda and Dena find Don Fer waiting near the door. Don Fer is pleasant to Esmeralda - Esmeralda excuses herself to go out and find the coach. Dena tells Don Fer she is amazed at his change in attitude towards Esmeralda. Don Fer wishes Dena all the best with Al. Dena asks what caused his sudden drastic change in attitude. He asks her to please talk with MP on his behalf. She is stunned as he presses his forehead to hers and leaves.

* In his own bedchamber, Don Fer washes his hands in the basin and he talks to himself, 'one day MP will be mine and only mine.'

J. R., thanks for the great recap! I confess to being confused about where Don Alej got so much info about the Viceroy and SK, but it's a good thing. I must have missed parts in some episode when I wasn't able to watch or something.

I keep hoping for a miracle to stop the wedding. Maybe the confusion that will get SK out of Callao will stop the wedding. Then Diego won't have to marry MA? (Fingers crossed). It'd be too bad for Dena and Alej, but they can get married later.

I still am annoyed with FS who says he has a wife living in the dungeon and is pursing a woman who wanted to be a nun. That's just tacky and tasteless. Either SK isn't really is wife or he's planning to make someone an adulteress (as I said yesterday).

you're welcome.

I think he was telling Bernardo about the investigators he is working with to uncover the information when they were walking together at the hacienda. Al was holding a letter in his hands the entire time so I'm assuming that was the report that was delivered to him with all the information so far in it.

I too am hoping for a miracle to stop the wedding. But this is telenovela-land after all.

J.R. :)
 

Ah, yes, I recall him holding the letter and that he had said he had folks working on it. Thanks for the reminder.

Yes, it is telenovelaland. They might have to be married to others and the others die....(sigh).

Howdy =)

Jeanne, I meant Olmos and SK might be related (I know it's a stretch, but ya never know).

JR, thanks for the recaps. Actually, PT invited MP for a glass of wine. You know how lush the clergy can be. The argument between SK in the guard is 'cause he's moving her to another cell 'cause the viceroy just arrived to make a surprise inspection. She says she has lots of money stashed away and will give him half if he lets the viceroy find her. Dunno whether he'll believe her, but he does realize she must be really important, so maybe he'll figure someone would pay good money to get her out. Wouldn't it be cool if the viceroy accidentally crashed the wedding?

I was a little surprised Dena didn't ask Al when this kiss in the mouth with Yumalay happened, but in those chauvinistic times, she must have decided it was just him sowing his oats before the wedding. That and she probably figures once she's living at the hacienda she'll keep an eye on Yumi so she keeps her buckskinned paws of her man!

Hugs,
M
 

I was very glad that Almudena glossed over the Yumi/Al thing. What a relief she let it go, and the wedding is still on.
Enough of the couples that break up when the breeze changes direction.

I hope she and Al exchange vows first, so they're married, then something happens to stop Dioego and MA's marriage.

Loved Diego's wink at Esme. He looked very confident; is Zorro going to save him? :)
 

Margarita, in telenovelaland nothing is a stretch. I see what you meant now. That would be a hoot.

I like those ideas about the Viceroy crashing the wedding, and Al's vows with Dena being done before any disruption. That would be perfect.

I thought Diego and Montero were supposed to have a fight in the desert, suddenly it's one week later and no fight. Did their little scuffle in town cancel out the desert fight or something? By the way, I loved that scene were Diego supposedly bumbled through the fight but ended up beating up and humiliating Montero. Pizarro watched the whole thing, I wonder if he's suspicious of Diego yet?

That would be very interesting if Olmos and Sara were related, I also got that out of his comment. Or maybe that she would recognize him immediately for some reason.

Great recap J.R., thanks so much!!
 

Sylvia, I watched tonight and one of the soldiers told SK that "the hunchback said" something. She snapped to attention and said "hunchback?" She knows something about Olmos, I guarantee you.

If you want a weird scenario, here's one: Olmos is the real King of Spain and Mercedes is his Queen, Esme is their daughter?? Nah. Not even in telenovelaland.....

Jeanne
 

Don't know if anyone will read this or not, so I'll try to remember to post it on Friday's recap as well...Beyonce's CD, with Amor Gitano is on sale for $9.99 on Amazon.com. It is her special edition B'day CD. I just typed in Beyonce and searched for the one issued in April of 2007. Just wanted to pass on the bargain price.
 

Thanks, Cathy! (I also left you a thank you for Monday's recap. Am behind on some light reading). That's a recording I'd like to get.

;-)

Jeanne
 

You guys may have a horrible novela to recap, but I always read your posts and the comments because such a high level of discourse has developed! I've given up reading comments on La Fea, y'all are my kind of people...
