Zorro, Wed. June 28 - The Amazons have a solution for world peace
Diego tries to chat up the Amazons who have their bows trained on him and Bernardo. They aren't impressed. One of the Amazons shoots an arrow that Diego catches in mid-air. Pretty cool. Finally, Diego tells Bernardo to run at the count of three. They run but Bernardo is hit by an arrow.
SM confirms to Mangle that Diego is an excellent swordsman. He studied with Diego in military school in Spain. Mangle is eager to be off with this juicy bit of news and tells SM that it was nice seeing him but she has to go. He tells her that he came all the way from Spain to see her and she responds that he has seen her and maybe they'll run into each other again. She runs off. SM says that if Mangle won't help her, he'll go to her husband. When she is alone, Mangle says to herself, “Diego, a great swordsman? That's crazy. No, that idiot Diego couldn't be – Zorro.”
Diego is helping the wounded Bernardo to escape from the Amazons. He appears to use something like a sled to get down the hill.
Mangle goes to see Montero but the guards tell her that he is busy interrogating a suspect and they have instructions not to let anyone pass.
Montero is questioning Laisha about the whereabouts of the gypsies and SK. She refuses to give him information and he ties her up apparently with rape in mind.
Diego and Bernardo are not losing the Amazons. Diego realizes that they are following his scent. He smears mud all over himself and Bernardo and the hunters pass them by. Diego leaves Bernardo to get wood to start a fire so he can heal Bernardo's wound.
The Spanish-speaking Amazon, whose name appears to be Danya, tells Esme that the Amazons are the descendants of the first whites to come to this area and of the indians. For some reason, this makes them nomads. Danya says that the Amazons have the blood of three races in their veins: whites, blacks and indians. That's why the Amazons are everwhere. Esme asks why men are not allowed where the Amazons are camping. Danya tells her that the Amazons don't want men because they only bring suffering and war. [It takes a little away from their philosophy of peace that the Amazons kill even innocent men who wander into their territory.] The Amazons are apparently willing to trade peace for not having love. Danya wants Esme to stay with the Amazons. She tells Danya that she has to see Diego and find out if he loves her and make the people who killed her mother and son pay. Danya warns that vengeance isn't good but Esme doesn't care.
PT is chatting with the Queen about SK and Esme. PT tells the Queen that Diego was in love with Esme and about his pretended identification of Esme's body and that SK's body was never found. The Queen asks if Esme and SK could still be alive. “Anything is possible,” says PT. The Queen then asks if she can trust Diego to discuss this with him. PT assures her that Diego is very trustworthy. The Queen then says that she will put and end to all the conspiracies that have been going on behind her back and discover the fate of SK and Esme. If SK and Esme are still alive, she will repay them for all the harm that has been done to them.
At the gypsy camp, SK tells Honas, Azucena, Hermes, Renzo and NAC that when she gets to see the Queen, she will ask for justice to be done to FS, Montero and their henchman. She will also ask that the gypsies be treated with dignity and respect. She tells them that it will be difficult and dangerous to get into the masquerade ball. Renzo says that the gypsies will give their lives to make it happen. Hermes reports on the project to sew fancy dress for those who will attend the ball. SK says that all they need are the invitations. Azucena says that they have a plan for that too.
Montero tries to get Laisha to tell him where the gypsies are hiding but she refuses. Montero thinks that maybe SK is alive and with the gypsies. He chokes Laisha and she says that SK is alive and she will talk.
Diego tells Bernardo that he is going to cauterize the wound. Some nasty arrow removal and stuff ensues. It doesn't help the drama that Diego and Bernardo are still covered with mud.
Back at the Amazon camp, Esme is aware that something is going on. Danya tells her that two men have been sighted near their camp but they are going to take care of them. All of a sudden, Esme is having weird feelings but she shrugs it off and goes off to practice waving her sword around while "swooshing" sounds are added to the soundtrack.
Diego has made a travois to get Bernardo to town so that Agapito can heal him. [Since the Amazons are supposed to be near San Diego, he will have to drag that thing quite a ways.]
MP is being served breakfast by Dolores when who should come in but Almudena, dressed and hungry for breakfast. She says that she is feeling better and doesn't want to stay in bed anymore. MP and Dolores are happy. MP says that Agapito's treatment for the arsenic poisoning must be working. Almudena agrees but says there is more. She has finally gotten over her death wish from the loss of Esme. [Maybe Agapito put some Prozac in her medicine.] Now she wants to live for her husband.
At the indian camp, Al tells Yumi that the elders of the tribe have agreed to waive their customs and let her stay. Yumi asks Al if he believes in her and hopes that he won't be ashamed when he thinks of her. Al says that he does believe in her and all that happened was his fault because he tried to relive a ghost from his past. Yumi doesn't want to hear that Al is only going to remember her as the image of his dead wife and she asks him to leave. He starts to leave but she runs after him and they embrace.
Laisha tells Montero that SK is going to try and see the Queen. Montero is impactado.
NAC is going to be the one in charge of getting the invitations to the ball.
Diego makes it to LA in record time and carries Bernardo into Agapito's office.
Al returns from the Indian camp. He rehashes with MP that he believes Yumi is innocent of trying to poison Almudena. Almudena comes in and Al asks MP to leave them alone.
Agapito tells Diego that the arrow that struck Bernardo didn't hit any vital organs. Diego stopped the bleeding but Bernardo is burning with fever and has an infection. While he treating Bernardo, Agapito tells Diego that there was arsenic or something similar in the bottle that Diego gave him and he is sure that is what poisoned Almudena.
In her room, Mangle produces yet another little bottle of poison. She tells herself that if she gives the whole thing to Almudena, she will die quickly. Unfortunately, Yumi is gone so there isn't anyone to blame. Montero will kill Diego and that will only leave Al between Mangle and the de la Vega fortune. Mangle wonders impatiently where Montero is. She wants to tell him her news.
Diego comes out of Agapito's office and runs into SM. In their small talk, SM says that he is sure that Diego is well known locally for his swordmanship. Diego says that he doesn't do much swordplay anymore. He helps his father with his hacienda. Diego ask SM what he is doing in LA. SM says that he has come to America to find opportunity and he hopes that his old friends won't forget him.
Pizarro is about to get it on with Catalina when a soldier says that Montero wants to see him right away. Montero tells Pizarro that he has found out SK is alive and with the gypsies. Pizarro says that is impossible. Montero makes Laisha confirm the information to Pizarro. Montero then orders Pizarro to take Laisha to prison. He will finish with her later. Pizarro's face is expressionless but we know that he is muy impactado.
Agapito tells Bernardo that he should recover because the arrows have been removed. Agapito says he has never seen arrows like those before [now he's an anthropologist]. Suddenly some soldiers come in, hit Agapito and tell him that Pizarro has ordered them to bring Agapito to him. Looks like Pizarro figured out that Agapito tricked him about SK's death. Bernardo is asleep or pretends to be asleep and the soldiers leave him alone.
Olmos and Mangle are petting. She says that she wants to satisfy him completely but she can't right now. She has to take Agapito's medicine. Mangle asks Olmos to help her by giving Almudena the poison in whatever medicine she is taking. He agrees.
Al and Almudena discuss Yumi. Almudena says that now she understands the law of her tribe but she doesn't understand why Yumi would try and kill her. Al says that he does not believe that Yumi tried to kill Almudena. Almudena suggests that they put this subject in the past. Al asks Almudena for forgiveness for what he did with Yumi and Almudena forgives him. They vow their great mutual love for one another and then we see Olmos putting the poison in Almudena's medicine.
DJ sends for Montero and tells him that now the masquerade ball will be by invitation only. Montero agrees that this will be better for the Queen's safety. DJ is not so sure. Zorro has been able to get access to the Queen in spite of her being guarded. DJ warns Montero that if Zorro or any other enemy of the Queen gets close to her, Montero will pay.
Prudencio approaches FS who is kneeling at Aaron's grave [Aaron appears to be buried in the woods and not in consecrated ground]. They want FS to return to LA and be the Governor. Without showing his face, FS says that he's not the Governor any more and he has no posessions. He will spend the rest of his life forgiving and seeking forgiveness.
NAC and Renzo, dressed as Spaniards, enter LA. Renzo as these cute little glasses. NAC will contact PT to try and get tickets for the ball. Renzo is concerned that someone will recognize them. NAC says no one would recognize her in this dress. No sooner does she say that than MP recognizes her.
Esme and the Amazons have some kind of sword ceremony.
SM tells Diego that he met his wife and they were friends years ago. Diego asks nervously if he mentioned Diego's activities in Mexico to Mangle. “Nothing much,” says SM, “only that her husband was the best swordsman in Spain.”
Mangle finally gets to see Montero and tells him that she has discovered that her husband is his worst enemy – Zorro.
The credits roll.
SM confirms to Mangle that Diego is an excellent swordsman. He studied with Diego in military school in Spain. Mangle is eager to be off with this juicy bit of news and tells SM that it was nice seeing him but she has to go. He tells her that he came all the way from Spain to see her and she responds that he has seen her and maybe they'll run into each other again. She runs off.

LOL, Jean! I'm soooo glad someone else noted the "swooshing" sounds when Esme was playing swordswoman. Oh my, how does Marlene Favela not just laugh at the ridiculousness of these scenes!
Another kindred thought: "Agapito says he has never seen arrows like those before [now he's an anthropologist]." The man can do it ALL. Oh, except tailoring.
Why is Mariangel so fixated on this Diego-as-swordsman news?! Santiago Michelena was supposed to be dead, but now he's alive - hellooooo - aren't you curious? She'll be sorry she rejected him when that potion wears off...
Fernando, come baaaaaack!

Ha! Those swooshing sounds were completely bogus when paired with Esme's half-hearted sword swinging! A couple of them even seemed to be off-sync. Interesting how her hair is suddenly straight. Had she been curling it in rags or something, even while in prison?
Jen, at one time somebody posted some youtube links of Zorro out-takes where the actors kept cracking up at the ridiculousness of their scenes. Pretty funny stuff.
Wow, I can't believe Mangle put two and two together regarding Diego/Zorro. Maybe the fact that she "loves" Olmos and isn't at all interested in SM anymore makes her a little more clearheaded in other areas. She's starting to get really dangerous.
Will Almudena drink the poison? I hope not now that she has renewed vigor for life.
Jean, great title. I like the Amazons, but as you point out they are a bit hypocritical. Excellent recap of a wonderful episode!

Amazingly enough, there was a bit of real anthropology in last night's episode, Vanya's (or Danya's?) explanation of their tribe as being part Indian, part Spanish and part black. There are pockets even today of communities with such a mixture, mostly in the South. (For my fellow Californians, that's South as in below the Mason-Dixon line, not as in southern California.) Anthropologists call these groups "tri-racial isolates". They are presumably the original model for the "in-bred hillbillies" stories. I haven't heard of any of them being all-female groups, though.
I had occasion several years ago to do some research on one of these groups found mostly in eastern Tennessee called Melungeons. There is some indication that they may be descended from what's known as the Lost Colony of Spaniards who built a settlement in what's now one of the Carolinas and basically just disappeared from the records.
That's actually where I got the notion of the Zorro Amazons being descended from ancient Carthaginians. One of the reasons these communities were isolated was because they were partially of black African descent, which subjected them to discrimination and persecution under Southern segregation laws. In Texas in (I believe) the 1920s, an apparently humane-minded judge ruled that the "anti-mescegenation" laws that outlawed marriage between blacks and whites did not apply to Melungeons. His reasoning was a claim made by some Melungeons that they were descended from ancient Carthaginians.
I'm not making this up. I don't have that much imagination.
But back to the Amazons, the whole story line with them seems more Xena or Tarzan than Zorro, but I'm not complaining. Between the comic relief and the, uh, exotic costumes, they're a great addition to the show.
There's another weird way in which the Amazons add a touch of realism. Because all of the Spanish women in this novela are presented as Spanish ladies concerned with their clothes and social life and feminine intrigues. Or, in Mangle's case, serial-killer intrigues.
But actually, it was more the norm in Alta California for women to be skilled horse riders and to take part in other activities that would have been restricted to males in the Old Country. So, in that way, the Amazons are arguably more realistic than the Spanish society ladies.
I'm guessing Almudena's going to take the poison and die. After all, we have her Regina dreams and Yumalai's peace-pipe-induced Regina vision saying she's due to cross the Big River soon. Plus, she's defended her honor as Wife #1 and forgiven everybody (more-or-less). And we know that Yumalai is regarded by her tribe as damaged goods who may not even deserve to eat, so they've got to get her into a situation where she can be a happy warrior-woman. The Amazon tribe would be one option. But so would Almudena dying and Yumalai returning to take the Wife #1 slot.
Plus, once word gets out that Mangle was behind the poisoning, Yumalai is going to want vengeance for the death of her madrina.
If you didn't know any Spanish watching these telenovelas, you'd surely come out after a while knowing, "Me vas a pagar muy, pero muy caro."

Bruce has a good point about the real women of Alta California and those in the novela. The problem, at least as suggested by the Zorro entry in Wikipedia, is that Johnston McCulley set his Zorro stories in an hacienda economy and culture that never existed in Alta California. In this period, California was a pretty rugged, pioneer society where there probably weren't that many women to begin with.
Thanks for the recap Jean.
What a goofy thing this Amazon plot is! I agree with Jen - how can Marlena not laugh?
So many novelas lose steam and do these dumb detours. For heaven's sake, Televisa has a school for novela writers, and this is the product?
Time for a curriculum revision in that school!
Bruce - I had the same thought about Almudena, but maybe the writers are stringing us along, and she survives. I hope she does.
Still eagerly awaiting MA's disenchantment with Olmos. I hope that happens before Almu drinks the poison, and Olmos serves it to MA, instead.

I love the recap Jean, chuckes all around.
I've read the prior ones sorry for not commenting but let me say the recaps as well as commentary were all great/insightful.
As for Mangle and Monty knowing Diego is Zorro, isn't there an unwritten rule that when villans know a hero's secret identity, they villan dies, at least in movies (i.e. Batman-Joker, Christopher Walken character, Penguin, Two Face) Spiderman - Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus) and I am sure some others that can't remember or haven't seen.
Other thing, I just picture Monty Laughing His Butt Off when Mangle tells him the news.
Yeah Mangle putting two and two together, funny and not good. My concern was here finding the foxcave's secret entrance, not that Mangle would want a book off the bookcase but hey curiosity is always possible.

Bruce, that is absolutely fascinating information about the Melungeons. Thank you for taking the time to inform those of us who have no knowledge of it.
This is one of the reasons why I love this site. People from different backgrounds and interests share cool information.

A few random questions about last night's episode, which I watched in a room with no A/C & closed windows . . . my brain was hot & I understand very little Spanish even when my brain is fully functioning.
Was Diego caked in mud when he ran into Santiago? Did Santiago ask, "Hey, Diego, why are you caked in mud?"
Was Mangle oddly un-curious about having received a letter from Santiago's dead sister?
Did anyone else get choked up when Yumi hugged Alejandro good-bye? I know there are some Yumi haters out there, but yeeeesh, she's all alone in that tee-pee, with no skins to trade.

A few random questions about last night's episode, which I watched in a room with no A/C & closed windows . . . my brain was hot & I understand very little Spanish even when my brain is fully functioning.

Jean, thanks for the terrific recap with amusing editorials! I didn't see all of this and am glad for the recap (the story of my entire life this week).
Loved all the comments, too. Bruce, thanks for adding such tidbits. There is an area of Ohio where there are multiracial individuals from generations gone by; one used to work for me. She talked about her home. Very interesting! It was similar the the folks you described.
