Acorralada #185 Friday 10-5-07 – AND THEY ALL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!

Un milagro! No, not that Fidiota and can stand on her own two feet (which she can now), but that the end has finally arrived! On behalf of my fellow recappers, thanks to all of you dedicated fans who have spurned us on during some of the more ridiculous plot lines carried out by our boneheaded characters. Many of whom were characters we loved to hate. As much as I hate to admit it, I'm truly going to miss watching the show and waiting at the edge of my seat for Larry and Gaby to FINALLY get together (I've already given up on Yolanda and Rene). We'd love to read your opinions on the ending. . .Without further adieu, on with the show!

Jorge proposes to Sylvie on stage and she accepts! The crowd goes wild and chants for them to kiss. Finally Sylvie sees some action. How long has she waited? 184 episodes?

Roddy and Fidiota discuss her miracle. Fidiota asks Roddy, "Aren't you happy I can walk?" Duh. Roddy replies of course he's ecstatic! He was just afraid she might have fallen and hurt their baby. They then have a sappy moment about how much they love one another and all the things she wants to do, now that she can walk.

Max wakes up and sees Dimwit at his side. They confess their love to one another. He wants her to kiss him since he's always the one kissing her. She obliges and then he issues a grade of "C." He wants less affection and more passion. He then wants to apologize for a bazillion times. Dimwit thinks 199 should do the trick. More sappy music as he says, "Perdon" a bunch of times. Dimwit giggles delightedly. Has Dimwit ever laughed during this show, besides when Iggy got tied up by Sylvie? All is right now in their happy little world.

***WOO HOO*** Gaby is snuggled up in bed with a bare-chested Larry (who has finally graduated from his nickname "Lunkhead"). Gaby and Larry are trying to figure out who loves whom more. They can't believe they have actually made love and have Fidiota's blessing. Gaby points out Fidiota only approves of them being a couple, probably not being TOGETHER! At any rate, one of them talks about it being a dream. Larry then gets frisky, saying he doubts he could feel so many sensations in a dream and wants to test out his theory.

Roddy carries Fidiota downstairs and they are snuggling on the sofa. Granny M comes in and they tell Granny M they are celebrating. Fidiota stood on her own! "Tonight calls for a special celebration!" Granny M goes to find Nancy so they can cook an extra special meal. More canoodling on the sofa between Roddy and Fidiota, who are also professing their undying love to one another.

Larry and Gaby are still snuggling. He wants to stay the night, but Gaby's not so sure that's a good idea. "What would mama say?" Finally Larry brings up the "M" word. They decide to get married in six months, due to Octopus' death. "Six months it is," says Gaby. They lament they lost so much time fighting, but that will never happen again. Larry, who I may have to start calling Lunkhead again, wants to have twelve kids so he can have enough kids for a sports team. Gaby says he's crazy, with a laugh!

Roddy comes to the hospital and breaks the good news to Max. Max and Marshmallow are officially divorced. There is nothing keeping him from Dimwit now, aside from Dimwit's stubbornness. Roddy cheers Max on. "Keep fighting for her!"

Camila is shown to her cell, where she is going to have a roommate. Yolanda! Pobre de Camila, it's tough adapting to a life behind bars. Where will she wear all her scant skirts and midriff bearing tops? They talk about the irony. Yolanda tells Camila she (Yolanda) has a trial coming up and if she's lucky, she'll only have to serve a year. Camila, whose back is to Yolanda, has glycerin tears of true dolor coursing down her cheeks. Camila thinks she's going to get 10-15 years. For some unearthly reason, I actually feel bad for her.

Dimwit, now in her nursing uniform, pays Max a visit. He asks if she knows what he's holding in the red folder. Dimwit bursts his bubble by saying she does; Roddy told her. Max then goes on and on about his eternal love for Dimwit; there has never been another woman in his life that he loves as much as her. Even with all the pain, misunderstandings, fights, etc., he never stopped loving her. He then proposes, provided she's not promised to Doc V. Dimwit convinces him she and Doc V are simply good friends. Dimwit finally agrees to marry Max.

Puncho is doing pushups on the beach when a beautiful woman walks by. Puncho, doing what he does best, starts chatting her up and telling her how beautiful she is. She tells him she's there on vacation; her father is the governor of a Central American country (or something to that effect. Do Central American countries have governors?). He thinks to himself he may have found a new victim. Puncho tells her his family is in the oil business and, what a coincidence, he is also on vacation. Before you know it, they are making a dinner date and they stroll off arm in arm. With this being the last episode, I can only hope she's a scam artist like him. Wouldn't that be a hoot?!

Pobre de Lala. The police keep finding bits and pieces of Diablo. They are all sitting around in the Psycho Mansion living room; Fidiota, Granny M, Lala, and Granny DS. Fidiota suggests that it might not be a bad idea for Lala to sell her house and move in with them. There is plenty of room and they are all like family. Finally Lala agrees.

***MESES DESPUES*** per the scene of a boat in front of a sunset.

Marshmallow shows up to tell Max hello. Max tells her of the upcoming double wedding with him and Dimwit and Larry and Gaby. Marshmallow is happy for all of them. Marshmallow says she and Doc V have been in contact but they're taking it slowly. Max tells Marshmallow that Yolanda was sentenced to a year in jail, but will probably get out early on good behavior. Commercial.

Fidiota now has a bump. After doing the math, she's about six months along. I think Fidiota is talking about clothing. Whatever the conversation, it seems to be pretty boring. Fidiota and Roddy are still in love. "What a pity ChewKey can't share our happiness."

ChewKey is having her hair brushed at the manicomio and is sitting their glowering. The nurse gives her a magazine and as ChewKey is flipping the pages, she runs across a photo of "the marriage of international actor Larry Irascible." ChewKey admits to herself that Larry and Gaby deserve to be happy. A single glycerin tear of TRUE dolor runs down her cheek.

Marshmallow pays Doc V a visit. He is thrilled to see her. She tells him of their invite to Max and Dimwit's wedding, but she doesn't feel that would be prudent. He again asks when they'll get married. She replies "When the doctor tells me." They agree they'll get married in a month and seal the deal with a kiss. Doc V's mom and Godmum walk in and are thrilled to see Marshmallow and Doc V kissing. Que Dulce!

***DAYS LATER*** per the scene of the Miami skyline at night.

Max and Larry meet Yolanda who has been released from jail, just in time to attend THE WEDDING.

The wedding. Roddy escorts Gaby down the stairs and Fidiota escorts Dimwit. Yolanda finally got a dress and hairstyle that looks marvelous on her. She was running around with a disposable camera taking pictures. This is one celebration I wish I could be at. I wonder if the cast kind of celebrates this as the end of their filming as well. Emili-Oh and Camila are there to act as witnesses. Rings are exchanged, life is good. ***BIG HAPPY SIGH*** Commercial.

More toasting by Fidiota. Max and Dimwit on their honeymoon, toasting their love with champagne on the beach. Larry and Gaby celebrating their honeymoon in bed, making up for lost time. Larry says Gaby is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. Gaby brings up how blind she was when they first met. Larry retorts he was the blind one for not realizing how beautiful she was. Good answer Larry! Commercial.

***THREE MONTHS LATER*** per the scene of a traffic jam.

Roddy is unglued. They are stuck in traffic and Fidiota is in labor. He is beside himself and babbling incoherently. Fidiota keeps telling him to calm down. This scene goes on for awhile. Fidiota calmly calls Dimwit and Gaby to tell them the moment has arrived. Gaby and Dimwit are not only excited about the arrival of their new sib, they are also thrilled Perfumes 'R Us is now the number one perfume company in the country. They gather up their purses and head to the hospital, calling their men along the way. We then have a happy family scene with everyone gathered around the hospital bed and Fidiota holding the baby. Roddy is trying to film them all with the camcorder, but from what I can tell, he's filming the tops of everyone's head or their ears.

The show ends with everyone crowded into the living room. Dimwit and Max have Maxito crawling around on their laps. Fidiota is feeding their baby with Roddy at her side, and Gaby is snuggled on Larry's lap. Life is finally good at Psycho Mansion!!!!

***THE END***

Thank you, Karen for that funny recap, for an episode that didn't deserve it. What great good fortune for you that you got to do the last episode!

I for one thought it was a letdown with some plotlines unresolved (Panchito?). It was kind of dull, and the weddings were a real disappointment. I thought we were going to get a church wedding finally. Maxito should have been a year older, but they were using the same kid they were using before.

It's been great working with you all year on this silly mess! RIP Acorralada!
 

While the recap was wonderful, the episode...not so much.

I really wanted to see a smackown for Pancho. I was hoping the woman on the beach was maybe an undercover cop or something, but then Mr. 5ft pointed out that there was nowhere on that outfit she could have been hiding cuffs.

And those wedding dresses looked more like prom dresses. It did look like a fun party, though.
 

I was disappointed with the weddings also I would have liked it more if they would have been church ones. At least Gaby got some good love scenes with Larry finally.
 

It seems so weird that it's over. It was probably the most boring last episode I've ever seen on a telenovela - there really weren't any surprises. Your recap was better than the episode!

It's been a pleasure working with you! I won't miss Max and Dimwit, but I'll definitely miss Larry!
 

I don't know y'all, the final episode of Acorralada was much better than the last several episodes of Amar. Talk about boring! Even Aahndres isn't looking too hot after he got beaten up. If I wasn't recapping, I can guarantee I wouldn't be watching.
 

For the first time in over a year, I don't have a good novela to watch, and I have nothing to check recaps for. I will now be going through withdrawal. I hope this new show Pasion will be good!
 

Sorry but my question is what has happened to renee?
 

Just noted this late-posted question. A week before the end Rene was said to have married someone his own age in Germany. Poor Yolanda was actually happy for him. She was in jail and got out in time to attend the other weddings.
