Zorro Wednesday May 30,2007: Where a B&E is interupted and a treaty is signed.
Zorro searches the basement of the house out in the woods. He does not seemed at all concerned that there are torches lit and burning in the basement. To me, that would indicate that someone is home, but then again this is a couple hundred years ago so maybe leaving a burning torch is like accidentally leaving the iron on today. So, back to the story, Zorro finds a cache of gold coins stored here in the torch lit basement. He determines that there is much more money here than was in Esmeralda’s fortune. He deduces that Montero must be keeping some of the Crown’s dinero. Bad Monty. Just after figuring this out, Zorro hears a bump and someone call out from upstairs. Could our masked hero be totally busted?
Auggie visits Esme and gives her food. He tells her that she needs to take care of herself and the baby (same speech, different day). Esme says you know Auggie that Monty is just going to keep trying to get me to talk about Zorro and I won’t say anything, so he’ll end up killing me. Auggie tells her not to focus on that. She then comes up with an idea that I don’t quite get, but then I’m not a script writer for the show. She thinks that Auggie should get Olmos to help get her out of prison. Auggie points out that Olmos has known that Esme’s been secretly held in Callao and he hasn’t done anything yet. This doesn’t detour Esme from her (not so) brilliant plan. She says that Auggie should tell Olmos that she’s prepared to make a deal. Will our creepy bald hunchback agree to the plan, and will he just end up betraying Esme again?
Meanwhile, Olmos searches Mariangel’s room and finds the secret box. He opens it up and the reflection of the mirror is pretty blinding. He says now he knows what is in the box that makes Mangle cry. Will we, the audience, be let in on what’s in the box?
Catarina and Hanibal (Pizarro) are frolicking on a table. She stops and worries (ulcer 1) that they might get caught by her husband, Tobias. Piza (just seems weird to call him by his first name) says he doesn’t care if Tobi were to catch them. They could show him (Tobi) how it is done (loaded language). Tobi is actually watching and gets physically ill from seeing his wife get it on with another man. Will Piza and Cat hear Tobi retching?
Nutty Nun (Ana Camilla, hence forth called NAC for Nutty Ana Camilla) is still skinny dipping with Renzo watching. NAC says a prayer to God for giving her a second chance and for saving her life (just what I think every time I go skinny dipping). Ed. Note: Renzo is looking mighty fine today. So watching NAC causes Renzo to have a flashback to the time he declared his love to Esme. Renzo wonders why Esme had to die!! Will Renzo actually realize that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?
Some sombrero wearing men are outside the house in the woods. They discuss how one of them saw a shadow and how Monty has paid them well to guard this place. BUT they are never to go into the house. The men are afraid of Monty (shouldn’t be, because he’s really a coward). Two of the men pull out their weapons and lean into the door to listen. Zorro uses this time to bust the door down, which proceeds to knock down the two. Zorro then plays a slight of cape and disappears. ONLY to reappear and start kicking some butt.
Tobi returns home and cries “no puede ser” about Cat and Piza. He just can’t believe that his sweet little puddy tat is that animal’s lover. He actually finds it offensive and pulls out his sword. Deciding that this just won’t do, he pulls his pistol out from under the pillow, swearing he’ll kill Piza. Tobi has a light bulb moment and realizes that Piza had him dress as Zorro so he’d (Tobi) get killed and Piza would have free access to Cat. Will Tobi realize that Piza already had free access to Cat at this point? (Ed. Note: she’s been giving the milk away for free and Tobi was the one who bought the cow---get a clue you clueless wimp.)
Tobi goes back to the romping grounds of Cat and Piza. He overhears Cat defend him when Piza makes a derogatory comment about her husband. Piza reminds Cat that Tobi doesn’t have any idea on how to please a woman. Piza tells Cat that she’ll leave Tobi when the time is right. Cat attempts to protest, but she gets caught up in the moment, if you know what I mean. Will Tobi take this as a hint he needs to read the Kama Sutra?
Monty visits Esme’s “grave” and talks to it (why---I can only suppose to remind the audience that he had her “buried”). Monty goes on pontificating to himself that everyone thinks Esme’s dead, but apparently Zorro thinks differently. Somehow Zorro’s been one step ahead of Monty, but that’s going to change because Monty tells himself that he’s more astute than the masked bandito. Will Monty’s delusions of grandeur ever diminish?
Almudena is eating and this pleases her husband, Alejandro. He tells Dena that Yumali is leaving the hacienda for awhile. Dena worries that Yumi’s vacation is her fault (ulcer 2). Al says Yumi’s going to visit White Buffalo, but he wants to know why Dena blames herself. She says because she told Yumi about dream about Regina and in the dream Dena died. Al starts to worry about Dena (ulcer 3).
Dolores goes to see Yumi and finds her packing. She tells Yumi that she should leave and never come back. Dolo adds that Yumi knows the reason why she’s saying this. Yumi says she’s coming back because she needs to save Dena. Yumi leaves and says good-bye to Dena. She tells Dena that she’s got to go see WB because there are things her abuela needs to teach her before she crosses the great river. Will Yumi actually come back to save Dena, or is she just going to try to steal her husband?
Maria Pia tells Carola that she’s leaving. Padre Tomás tells MP that she’ll need to leave the Mission with some protection as an escort. Will Maria Pia actually make it out of town without Fernando knowing?
Fernando tells Prudencio that he wants the Mission watched, but doesn’t specifically tell Prudi what his men should watch for. FS tells Prudi to get some men to pose as Indians and get inside the Mission to have a better spying position. Fernando tells himself he’s not going to allow MP to escape. Will Prudi succeed in his mission?
Camba swims up on NAC. He’s playful, and NAC tells him not to come near, it isn’t proper when people are skinny dipping to come near each other. Camba doesn’t understand and NAC says she really needs to teach him Spanish. Camba plays with a lily pad. Will Camba learn Spanish? (During this scene I asked myself, where did Renzo go? Did I miss him leaving his hiding spot behind the bushes?)
The Marquesa (MC) meets with Al, Monty and Fernando. She questions Monty about Esme’s death and Al uses this time to badger Monty about keeping Sara Kali a prisoner. MC sidesteps that issue and brings up the reason for their gathering. She’s got a peace treaty she wants the boys to sign. She lets Monty know that she could proceed with going after him for conspiring against the Crown. So she wants Monty to drop all charges against the de la Vegas and destroy any records connected to the charges. Fernando tells Monty that SK’s escape didn’t involve the DLVs, only Esme and the gypsies were involved. Al tells FS to not stick up for his family and as a matter of fact, FS should just leave all DLVs alone. MC interrupts the spat and says they’ve got a delicate situation. She reminds FS and Monty that they could get in heaps of trouble for keeping SK locked up, in terrible conditions, for years---oh yeah, and don’t get her started on the whole ViceRoy and the VCR’s dead inspector. She encourages the boys to sign and tells them that if they don’t like the conditions of the treaty she’ll be forced to take more drastic action. Will these three men learn to play nice together?
Diego returns to the Bat Cave and reports to Bernardo. Bernie is concerned that now Monty will know that they know where he’s been hiding the money. Diego knows, and they speculate where Monty will move the money. Will Diego and Bernie figure out Monty’s next step?
Some men come to the Mission for food and offer to do some work. Str. Carola tells them she's got some work out back for them. Will these men discover that Maria Pia has flown the coop, and will they tell Fernando in time?
Cat tries to make some moves on Tobi (yuck, she just slept with Piza!!). Tobi says he has a headache and that she should just not touch him, look at him, or talk to him. Cat leaves and Tobi’s sad that Cat doesn’t think he’s a real man and she doesn’t know how much he really loves her. He says this loudly and she just walked out the door, isn’t he afraid she might eavesdrop? Tobi has a flash to his conversation with Agapito and realizes that Piza must be up to no good. He plans to use this info against Piza. Will Tobi ride as Zorro again?
Fernando agrees to sign the treaty and so does Monty. Monty goes so far as to say it would be best if they all just forgot what’s transpired. The two bad boys leave and Al tells MC that he doesn’t trust either of them. Will Al ever take off that ridiculous uniform? (My God, he’s worse than Lety from La Fea in that Paul Revere outfit she wore for days on end).
Fernando finds Prudi and tells him that they need to find Sara Kali. She’s got to be hiding somewhere and he wants Prudi to get some men out looking for her. Will Prudi think to send men to the leper colony?
Tobi goes to see Aga, who almost chops off a client’s ear (terrible thing to happen in any of his professions). Tobi gets Aga aside and questions about SK. He wants to know if SK is the woman who escaped from Callao. Aga lets Tobi know that SK is in the leper colony and that Piza thinks she’s dead. Aga rehashes a bit about how he got Piza to thinks she’s dead. Aga questions why Tobi, if he’s Zorro, doesn’t know all this stuff already. Will Aga figure out that Tobi is a fraud?
Olmos is drying off after a bath when Mangle bursts into his room. She shocked to see his cue ball head and makes fun of him for it. Mangle demands that Olmos take a look at Al’s books. She wants to know how much money they are sitting on here. Olmos questions her reason and she mentions that she wants to know what will be available to her if she’s kicked to the curb. Olmos is pleased to think that Mangle and Diego might separate. Mangle makes some more mean comments to Olmos. After she leaves, Olmos swears to the air that she’ll be his. Will Olmos learn that ugly is as ugly does?
Monty gets the news that Zorro raided his house in the woods. He decides he’s got to move the money to the prison. He tells one of the worthless guards to move the money. Will this guy realize he can take the money and run?
Mangle finds Diego and tells him she’s going out to visit a friend. He pays no attention to her and continues to read a book. Not one to be ignored, she demands to know when he’ll forget Esme. He basically tells her never and there’s nothing she can do to change that. She’s mad. When will Mangle realize she’s got a snowballs chance of getting Diego to go for her? (That’s why she needed her little vial of potion, which didn’t even get her to have her way like she’d wanted).
Monty tells Piza that Zorro is working amongst them. He’s getting paranoid. Monty tells Piza that Zorro knows that Esme is alive, so they need to have a change of plans and get rid of her tonight. What will Monty do to our heroine?
Esme wakes up and hears a noise outside her cell. She thinks it is Diego, come to rescue her. Will Esme be freed by her lover? Tune in next time. END OF EPISODE/ ULCERS 3

Cathy, thanks for the wonderful recap!! You do such a great job! I hope the end of school isn’t too intense for you. (Ours was, and I hope never to go through an end of school that intense again. Now I am catching up). Geez, you posted this in the middle of the night!
“Will Renzo actually realize that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?” And worth even more when the bird is in water skinny dipping!
I was so sure that Tobi was going to bust Catalina and Piza right then and there. Well, apparently not…..so there’s lots more drama to come with this one. Tobi is such an idiot that he doesn’t even begin to see that the reason she strays is because of him. He could be as attentive and macho as Piza if he tried a little.
“When will Mangle realize she’s got a snowballs chance of getting Diego to go for her?” Clearly it’s a rhetorical question. ;-) The answer is a definitive NUNCA!
