Caray, Caray!

Show opens with PT trying to explain to Diego who he is and what happened to him and Diego looking bewildered as ever. Diego continues asking PT who he is, he never seen him before and who’s Diego, that’s not his name. My name is …..(his mind is drawing a blank). PT wants to get close to Diego but Diego pushes him away and then passes out. PT tries to wake him up.

Out in wide open spaces Esme, SK, Hermes, and Renzo are walking to where the gypsy men are loading the spear type weapons into a wagon. Not for nothing but aren’t they a little afraid that they are going to get caught? Anyway SK is worried she doesn’t like seeing the gypsies geared up for war when the gypsy people are supposed to be happy, joyful, etc. Renzo tells SK that they are doing it for her, when she returns to Spain to reclaim her rights and the crown stops chasing them then they will go back to the happy go lucky people they used to be. SK promises to have everything that was stolen from them returned back. Renzo then recognizes the danger being out in the open and he escorts Esme elsewhere while SK and Hermes stay behind. Hermes tells SK he’s sorry he doubted her story when they were imprisoned (that would explain the rolling eyes and sarcastic tone but I guess we can’t blame him I mean it does sound a little far fetched). SK seems shocked by the confession but promises to compensate him for being with her and comforting her when everything is cleared up, even if he thought she was crazy. They share a laugh, aww.

Meanwhile Piza is at the prison locking up Dolores who is claiming its an injustice. Obviously Dol but don’t bother pleading and crying, Piza is like Emiliooo from Duelo, wooden. Dol in her funny accent calls Montero a demon (you ever paid attention to it, her Ds sound like Ls, demonio sounds like lemonio, jejeje) and prays for the de la Vegas. We hear some shushing and hey SAM is sharing her cell (I guess they are low in prison cells in el Callao). SAM tells Dol don’t bother the guards are stubborn as his mule and gives her his hanky. I like SAM, I want him to have Monty’s job. SAM tells Dol how he got into the slammer and Dol wants to know what’s going on in the world. SAM puts his military coat over Dol and tells Dol about the SK escape plan, but includes the de la Vegas. Dol says they had nothing to do with it (technically she’s right, Diego was not around and Alej was meeting with White Buffalo) but SAM tells her at this point who cares what’s true. Monty has always used whatever reason to go after the de la Vegas and this one is perfect.

FS is talking to a sleeping wounded MP. He tells her she can’t leave him alone, he won’t permit it. He tells God that he can’t take her. He asks God if he’s being punished and offers God all he has and all he is but to save his Maria Pia. FS cries and let me you, I want to cry too. I kinda want God to hear his prayer and I want his plea to be true. We shall see.

Meanwhile Alej and Yumi are following the hacienda worker with the giant sombrero. Everybody is hiding behind a tree. Well the worker is, Alej (who apparently donned a Poncho at some point) and Yumi are just standing there like sitting err standing ducks while we get a nice look of various guards around the hacienda. What did they send the whole army here, and why is everyone gathered around in the front of the hacienda, geez, like the Zorro version of a SWAT team or something. Bern sneaks up to them and signs to Alej what we already know, Monty has the hacienda surrounded and has imprisoned Dol and some workers. I gotta say I like the sign he used for Monty, almost like pulling a fake beard on his chin, not sure how this translates as Monty but its funny that Alej knew who Bern was talking about. Alej asks Bern about Dena, Mangle and Diego but Bern doesn’t know. Alej looks worried and tells Bern to accompany him and he’s going to tell him what’s going on.

Meanwhile MP is just waking up and trying to talk. FS asks her to not exert herself. FS adjusts his eye patch (considering this is like the third time I have seen him do this, I gotta wonder if the prop guys tightened the eye patch for the last guy who wore it and now its cutting off Peniche’s circulation and if this is the case how many eye patches does Telemundo keep on hand only one? Or does it belong on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean and Telemundo is just borrowing it?). FS tells MP that he’s sorry, forgive him he acted out of craziness seeing love snatched from his hands. MP says nothing matters, she feels like she’s dying. FS tells she won’t die and she’ll live and he’ll learn to live without her. There’s a lot of crying and sadness and FS tells her she has to live because FS is giving himself up to God. I’m impactada at this revelation. FS begs MP not to die.

Back to where gypsies are gathered. Renzo tells Esme they are going to Padre Tomas and Esme likes the idea and she’s sure PT will help them a lot. Renzo apologizes for not divulging this part of the plan sooner but everything happened so fast. Esme says its everything is Olmos’s fault, he convinced her that he was on the good side and she feel for it. SK says don’t bother with it, its in the past and the important thing is getting through this. Esme only worry is that Diego is not with her and she didn’t even get to say goodbye to him. SK thinks it’s a bad idea to go with her. Esme tells her mom that’s decision is made and she will not leave her alone.

PT puts a passed out Diego in bed and puts the blankets on him. PT puts warm compresses on his head while PT laments the memory loss and that he doesn’t know he is Zorro. PT tells a sleeping Diego he has to get better, his health and the lives of many others is in danger and everybody needs Zorro.

Cue Amor Gitano

Cut to the Cardinal talking to some guy cloaked in purple, a Padre Aaron. Padre Aaron tells the Cardinal that he was able to get message so quick because he was in Mexico and to not call him Padre, cuz while he’s authorized by Vatican to do exorcisms but he’s not a consecrated priest, HUH!!???? Okay I am not familiar with Vatican rules and all that but I would think in order to be approved by Vatican for exorcisms you would have to be consecrated. Cardinal expresses this same thought, well not in my words but you get the drift. Aaron says he and demons know each other from a while back (okay I am not comfortable with this story part, exorcism okay but people talking about demons like this not so much) because he was touched by him and that’s why he can’t take the priestly vows. Cardinal looks like he’s thinking oh boy this is a fine kettle of fish but tells Hermano Aaron about Nutty and Aaron wants to see her eyes to confirm possession

We go back to Camba singing to Nutty and enter Cardinal and Aaron. Hey where did Camba go? Nutty is terrified and recoiling on the bed and I would be too if some guy who isn’t a priest walked in to perform an exorcism. Cardinal tells Nutty not to worry Aaaron is here to help her. Nutty looks like she’s having a killer headache and Aaron says if she’s possessed the evil one will make himself known. Aaron tells Cardinal to pray and not to stop no matter what. Aaron tells Nutty that he’s there to free her and pulls back his cowl and he looks freaky, one eye is mad droopy. Aaron looks at Nutty weird like he knows her and Nutty looks back at him impactada before letting out a scream.

Back to MP and FS. FS is kissing MP’s hand when Monty walks in. Monty tells FS he spoke with Agapito and he’s sorry for what’s happened. FS adjusts his eye patch again (should we count the eye patch adjusts as well as ulcers?) and asks want he wants. Monty tells FS what happened in the prison and they took Sara Kali. FS tells Monty that’s his problem, that’s why he pays him, find her. Monty is worried about getting buried alive by the crown if they find out. Monty then tells FS about Alej being involved and his mysterious disappearance including Esme. FS seems a little surprised about Esme but tells Monty to leave him alone, he’s got bigger fish to fry. God is paying him back for his sins. Monty doesn’t think his problems are bigger but to prove his point FS turns around and gives him the evil eye and tells him to LEAVE!

Piza who was waiting for Monty asks what happened. Monty tells him FS told him, you’re on your own. Piza finds this hard to believe but Monty tells him that FS knows his goose is cooked but is more interested in MP than in Sara Kali and is leaving us out to dry. Monty wants her found and Piza tells him his men on it and even put the word out to the mercenaries. Monty likes this idea and Piza tells him sometimes bounty hunters (cazarrecompensas) work better than the authorities. Monty tells Piza that he could care less if Esme and SK are killed, they are worth more dead than alive. I hate him and I remember reading a post to the actor that said something like, Cmndr Montero I hate you and I want to kill you myself. I think that’s a sign of a good villan.

Back in the open spaces, the carriage with Esme and company stops when they meet up with two dudes on horseback. Esme wants to know whats up. Renzo tells Esme that there are bounty hunters out there (how did he know this, are they wearing name tags, Hello my name is bounty hunter or cazarrecompensas?). Hermes asks Renzo what needs to be done, he’ll fight if necessary, way to go Hermes! Renzo tells everyone not to worry and Esme tells him to be careful. Renzo asks them what’s up? BH 1 (he’s the one with the hat) points them out as a gypsies and if he knows Monty is looking for a very important woman, a rebel who says she is Queen of the gypsies who escaped with her daughter. Esme who is listening is impactada. Renzo and Javier (?) laugh and play it off, like Monty is off his rocker and is only saying that to exterminate them but BH isn’t buying it and says that maybe the Queen and daughter in the wagon. Esme is again impactada, this time commercial impactada.

Back from commercial, you ever notice that whoever is shown when the novela comes back is who gets the next scene. We saw Alej and guess whose in the scene. I guess Bern has just finished tell him that Olmos is behind everything cuz Alej says just this. Alej wonders why Olmos would want to kill SK. Bern signs something and then does his imitation of an eye patch. Alej of course deduces FS had something to do with it. Yumi tells Alej I told you so about FS and Alej figures that Monty has declared martial law and no lots of innocent men’s lives are in danger. The worker with the huge sombrero, WHS (whatever) says that something needs to be done and Alej’s military mode kicks into action. Alej is going to need the men who escaped the hacienda to get together and confront Monty’s men. Also, we are gonna need firearms and water but wait the water and firearms are in the hacienda, okay new plan. Bern then interrupts and signs something that makes Alej say that Bern knows the hacienda better than anyone (that he knows another way in?). Yumi wants to go in too, she can move like an animal get anything necessary.

Mangle is dressed and ready to exit but is detained by Monty’s guards who says nobody in or out. Mangle tells them surely not the Gov’s daughter too?, You know I am sooo tired of that line, Gov’s whatever. I think that’s not scoring any points with anybody apparently being Gov’s anything has no perks. I have yet to see somebody allow something to the Gov’s relative. The guard tells Mangle that they are waiting for the de la Vegas. Mangle threatens them if they harm Diego and then asks what Monty said about her. The guards say it doesn’t concern her so she takes that as a cue to leave and threatens the guards to no touch her, else she will have Monty make them pay.

Back to FS and MP and in walks Dena. Dean wants to know what FS did with MP. FS says he killed her, he killed the love of his life.

Back to Renzo and the Bounty Hunters. Bounty Hunter # 1 wants to look into carriage, no harm right? Renzo says its just his wife and kid sleeping. BH 1 tells Renzo he is in position to give orders and they point a gun at him and they all go to the carriage. Meanwhile Javier goes for the knife in his boot and is about to slice the throat of BH # 2. Renzo then pulls out his knife and points it at BH # 1, not for nothing but I don’t think Renzo’s itty bitty knife is going to do much against BH #1s pistol but Renzo is brave, stupid but brave. BH #1 advises that they should drop their weapons and BH # 2 escapes from Javier’s grip and pulls out his pistol. Esme explains the situation to SK and Hermes.

Back to Diego in the Batcave with PT. Diego is waking up and judging by the worried look, I take it he’s memory is still out to lunch. PT tells Diego not to worry and identifies himself again. I guess because he is not is his priest robes, PT thinks Diego doesn’t recognize him and tells him so. Diego is saying nothing but by his cute puppy dog eyes, the answer is no, robes or no robes the name Padre Tomas doesn’t ring a bell and neither does his name. PT tells Diego that he got really mean bump to the head and lost his memory and its temporary he’ll get better real soon. Diego is just looking at PT all sad like, like he’s getting a death sentence. PT then asks Diego if he’s going to trust him and gives his him hand. Diego nods but doesn’t give his hand. PT tells Diego to rest and tucks him in again.

Back to Renzo and BHs. Renzo says there’s a better way to handle this squirmish. BH says the best way is for them to look into carriage. BH yells into the carriage that they are armed. Javier tells BHs they are a peaceful folk but if necessary will defend themselves. The BHs don’t care they want to see in carriage. Hermes says he’ll go out and distract them but Esme says no, she’ll go she’s the Gov’s daughter (here we go again with this) and Monty’s wife (hello Monty prefers you dead). SK begs Esme not to go (listen to your mother Esme!) but Esme says she has to and will meet up with them at the mission. SK is happy to have a daughter like her and Esme sneaks out and runs off. Renzo and Javier drop their knives. BH is distracted noticing Esme run off and then Renzo gets the upper hand and starts punching him.

Back to the de la Vegas where Bern and Yumi are about to sneak in while guards backs are turn.

Renzo & Javier finishing tying up the Bounty Hunters. Renzo tells SK & Hermes to go on ahead, he’s going to find Esme. SK says no she’s staying until they bring back Esme. Renzo says that they can’t stay there its dangerous. SK is refusing to budge until she knows Esme is okay (okay now we know where Esme gets it, she is her mom’s daughter). Renzo goes off and agrees with Javier about a meeting place. Hermes tells SK not to worry everything will be fine.

Bern and Yumi sneak to another part of the hacienda. Bern takes out a funny looking wooden cockroach thing from Yumi’s pouch and winds it up. While the guard is distracted with squashing it and looking pretty pleased with himself (apparently it takes very little to distract these guards, when have you ever seen a wooden bug?), Bern and Yumi make a dash into the hacienda.

Renzo is running screaming out her name, way to go Renzo just scream and let people know where you are. He hears some footsteps, hides and then lunges at the intruder. Lo and behold its Laisha. Laisha tells Renzo Piza’s message. Laisha tells Renzo that if the queen isn’t returned, he’s going to kill the gypsy women. Renzo is impactado.

Esme is running and running and by the way how is she running so fast without tripping over that dress? Esme can’t belive she isnt’ being chased by the BHs. She hears some horses and runs off again and falls/ducks behind some greenery. Its Monty’s guards doing a search one of them mounts off and sees something. They go to look and it’s part of Esme’s dress. Esme is impactada and freaking out.

We come back from commercial with Piza and Cat in bed on her side. Piza is kissing her face trying to get something started but it’s a no go. Oops my bad, Piza is angry because tonight was different than before. Cat tells him she’s worried. Piza tells her don’t be, they we’ll get the prisoner, trap Zorro and everything will go back to normal even her marriage. Cat doesn’t like being married to a prisoner (this from a women having an extra marital affair with Piza?). Piza doubts Diego is going to escape with Esme out of town. Cat doesn’t doubt it, she’s noticed that’s capeable of a lot, she says he’s bold and starts getting dreamy eyed. Piza starts getting a little green but Cat says she just known Diego for years. Cat then asks about Tobi’s release. Piza says he’s going to visit him and if he’s smart he will get out and if not, he’ll decide. Cat gets mad and Piza yells back that Tobi is going to make contact with Zorro.

Tobi is totally against the idea of having his head cut off by Zorro. In fact Tobi is upset because when FFM accused Tobi of being Zorro he was promptly arrested and treated like a criminal. Piza said well we had to be sure (yeah right) but this plan is foolproof considering they are almost certain Zorro is dead. Piza tells about Zorro’s appearance in the prison and now they need the people to hate Zorro. Tobi doesn’t understand why if they think Zorro is dead. Piza tells them they have to get the people to despise Zorro by making Zorro the worse bandit ever. I am watching Tobi and damn does he have deep dimples, they look like bullet holes. I wonder if he ever has kids with Cat will they be born with those sockets. Tobi worries about being confused with Zorro but Piza tells him don’t worry the guards know truth. Tobi being sensible for once says no like a gazillion times. Piza threatens him with being locked up for ever if he doesn’t agree. Tobi capiches.

Back to MP, FS and Dena. Dena wants to be alone with MP but FS says no. Dena then rehashes everything that has happened and how its incited Monty’s revenge on the people and FS is completely destroyed. Dena begs him to leave, not only has he finished with MP’s life but everybody else. FS stroked MP’s hair one last time and leaves a very tearful scene.

Renzo brings Laisha to the meeting spot with Javier. Renzo informs Javier about Piza’s message. They have to do something and SK agrees. Perhaps it woulda been better not to resuce her. Hermes says never say that. Renzo is positive they can get the women out somehow but SK says Monty is evil and would figure out a very cruel way to make gypsies suffer. No, she’s going to turn herself in.

Back to the guards and Esme. The guards discuss what the piece of fabric means and because they aren’t very bright, they assume that the dress has been there various days judging by how dirty it is. The guards decide to leave maybe Piza needs them but of course not before rehashing Zorro’s mortal wound while Esme listens in. One of the guard says that maybe Zorro has made a deal with the devil so not even a bullet penetrates him. Another guard says no way, Zorro is human and perhaps will never be s seen again and they all ride off. Esme can’t believe Diego may be dead.

Bern gets Padre Tomas up to speed about Alej’s plan. Padre Tomas can’t believe Alej would go against Monty’s men. PT can’t believe what’s happened and now Diego has amnesia. Bern can’t believe it and shows it hitting a wall and pulling out his hair. Padre Tomas tells Bern to go with Alej and he’ll stay with Diego. He’s also going to talk to the brotherhood, they are the only ones who can help them. Bern and Yumi reunite and Yumi is packing a sword into a sack (won’t it break?) and Bern has a pistol? I sure hope Yumi has more than one sword in that sack cuz there are more than two guards guarding the place. Yumi tells Bern to lets move before the guards know they are there and head off.

Aaron is informing the nuns in training about him being there to see if Nutty’s problems are from God’s world or the kingdom of darkness. Let me interject here, if Nutty is possessed okay that comes from dark forces but if Nutty is mentally sick I’m not sure how disease would come from God, so this logic confuses me. Aaron tells the nuns that he has come to the conclusion that Nutty is inhabited by the evil one and he has to perform an exorcism and he’s going to need all their help. Okay again I have to object, I would think an exorcism would best be left to professionals unless you want to cause irreparable harm to both the exorcist and the exorcised. The Nuns are impactadas and afraid that the demons will possess them. Aaron says don’t worry he’ll make sure that don’t happen. He asks them to help him as an act of faith and love. The nuns in training agree to help and are off to find their rosaries. Aaron looks at them surprised that they fell for it or worried about the ordeal one of those.

Mangle goes to the Moncada residence and calls for FS and Dena and pissed because nobody answered. A maid tells Mangle that FS arrived a short while ago but he is locked in his studio. Mangle says of course right in the middle of a time when he should be controlling this chaos. The maid asks Mangle not to go, he doesn’t want to be disturbed. The maid tells Mangle FS didn’t look well but Mangle tells her to shut up and goes to find him. Oh boy, FS is about to kill himself, he has the pistol pointed at his chin when Mangle walks in and screams no Daddy no.

Back to Esme who guesses that the gypsies made it to the mission and starts running. We get scenery with lots of trees instead of the greenery. She trips and who should ride up but Piza. They state each other into the end credits.

END OF EPISODE
