Caray, Caray!

We begin with Juan nursing his bonked head while resting on a bale of hay. Sofia shows up to see how he's doing. She is 100 times more attractive today in this getup/hair/makeup than she was when I watched last week. Maybe her 'OMG Juan is so hot' face looks better than her 'OMG my husband is sooo gross' face. Feonando shows up and gives her a speech about how she should be with him, her HUSBAND, causing Juan to be impactado, the end of yesterday's show. Feonando continues his sexist rant about how wives should follow their husbands around and crap like that. Sofia leaves, Feonando pauses to give Juan a dirty look. Juan tries to look contrite. Outside, Feonando and Sofia fight, they repeat (for anyone who just started watching the show) the same conversation about her wanting a divorce and him saying never. Oscar and Franco show up to see Juan, who is pissy. He tries to stomp away but Padre Tadeo makes him go accept his prize.

Eva sits and cries over some baby girl clothes, the first outfit her long gone baby ever wore. She asks, "where are you?" to notify us viewers that her whereabouts are unknown, and to dispel any notion that one of the three sisters is her baby.

Sofia is about to accept Juan's prize on his behalf when Juan shows up being pushed by Tadeo. Juan and Sofia googly eye at each other, he gets the prize, then after he shoves it at her and says she should give it to her husband to keep with all the other prizes he already has. What, is he in third grade, or what? He stomps off again.

The other brothers look for Juan, they can't find him anywhere.

While the two healthy young men can't find Juan, an old man in a wheel chair is able to. He convinces Juan to take him somewhere, saying he has a hot date.

Franco runs into Sarita, they stammer stupidly at each other. Franco looks super gross with his stubble. He looks unwashed. They talk and Franco says that Juan was/is like a father to him and Franco.

Jimena and Franco also run into each other and begin flirting.

Gabriela complains about stuff, then tells Feonando how wonderful he is. We hear grandpa singing, I guess that was his hot date. Gabriela of course starts whining and goes on stage and interrupts him. The crowd was enjoying his horrible singing, but she makes him leave anyway. He yells for help.

Sarita is sniffling, mention of a father has made her think about her dead dad and she is sad. The mention of Bernardo makes Franco sneer, they both get over it, then Sarita worries about Gabriela seeing them together.

Jimena trips and Oscar catches her, how convenient. She keeps saying that he must have lots of girlfriends and tells him that Los Hermanos Reyes are so perfect. Finally she kisses him, while he was busy explaining that his respect is stopping him from kissing her. The details are unimportant. Flirting, kissing.

Sofia thumps the trophy down on a table in front of Juan. Oh I didn't mention, all this is going on during the party. This party is going on all day and into the night. Anyway, they have another spat about she's married, so what is it to him, googly eyes at each other. She stomps off and he smiles. Then he throws the trophy on the ground.

Franco discovers Sarita carrying books, they talk about books to show how intellectual they both are. Whatever. He's as intellectual as a log. She comments on how alike they are. They get close and some kids start chanting that they are now novios. Sarita shushes them, knowing it could get her thrown into the dungeon or something.

Sofia gets a fortune from a little fortune teller bird, the note says 'suffering and love'. She sees Juan and they smile at each other.

The lady who helps Rosario at the bar tells her that Franco was at the party, Rosario rehashes how she doesn't know where her kid is and how she isn't allowed to love Franco. Franco who is basically her stalker, by the way. So much to love there. "heh heh I love watching you shake your boobs" "oooh Franco I think I love you" Nope, doesn't quite fit.

Sofia brings Eva some food and tells her how she appreciates Eva and would do anything for her, she knows that right? Eva says yes, thank you, sniffle sniff no I wasn't crying, allergies or something, I'm tired. Sofia leaves and Eva tells the empty room how she can't tell anyone she had a daughter. In case you weren't watching a few minutes ago I guess we get this story again.

Oscar and Jimena flirt more, so do Franco and Sarita. Franco wins a game of Loteria that Sarita was running.

Feonando goes to a cockfight where some dirty dealing is going on and apparently wins some money. He and his buddy ogle some chicks hanging around the fight, just so we understand how Feonando is a bad dude. In case you didn't realize that yet.

The sisters and brothers keep running into each other and pairing off in very choreographed 'chance' encounters, much flirting and meaningful looks. Meanwhile the excellent Vicente Fernandez theme song plays. Feonando drags Sofia away from Juan and kisses her, she responds by hitting him.

Juan is riding around on a wild horse yelling that Sofia isn't a free woman, when he sees her in a backlit archway. He approaches, like Richard Dreyfuss entering the spaceship at the end of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and they kiss. Then Sofia wakes up. Psych! Guess who's hot to trot with Juan! She looks at her note that says 'suffering and love' again.

We hear a rooster signifying that it's the next morning. Side note - somehow a rooster and two hens ended up in my suburban neighborhood last week. That damn rooster perched on the neighbors front porch and crowed for 90 minutes. Later that day we say them in someone else's yard. The nearest farm is a mile away, I don't know how they got here. I never saw them again but every time I hear a rooster on TV now I'm reminded of that bird waking me up at 5:00 on a Saturday morning.

Eva talks to Grandpa, he gets out of her that she was in love with Bernardo and got busy with him one night when he was drunk. He promises not to tell. She tells him of the baby and how Gabriela took it away, she doesn't know if Gab really knew it was Bernardo's baby or not. Another quick aside - I have baby news, my wife is pregnant! We tried for months and months, so every time I see one of these shows where a woman gets pregnant by being in the same room as a man I roll my eyes. Anyway Baby Ferro is due around new years, yippee!

Wow, Juan is actually shaving! False alarm, only shaving his neck, he's leaving that smear of dirt he calls a beard. He is so pissed off about Sofia being married he cuts himself. He says it changes nothing, they are going to seduce all three women anyway. Oscar stands around in jockey shorts, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Sofia goes outside and sees the brothers arriving. She asks why they are there, it's Sunday. Juan says they want to finish and get off this damn hacienda as soon as possible. She says that she is the last one who wants to see the work done, but doesn't explain why. She and Juan manage to get all close and almost kissy.

Gabriela is out walking with the other two sisters, Jimena wearing some great tight pants and revealing shirt. Finally I get a show with something to look at. She wanders off and runs into Oscar, they proceed to make out. Sarita sees them and yells "Mama!" to distract Gab from looking at them. She makes up some excuse about the flowers being thorny and Jimena tells Oscar to scram and runs back over, they change the subject to how awesome the party was yesterday. Gabriela says "hey where's Sofia?"

Sofia is still almost kissing Juan, they manage to spat again and split up. She wanders off all flustered and says Juan makes her feel Fuego en la Sangre. She has been sheltered or she would know that what she is really feeling is horny. I think Juan will teach her about all that. Juan has started his shirtless bucket of water routine so she ogles him some more.

Tomorrow: No idea, my recording ended. More flirting, Juan being pissy, ogling, probably Juan shirtless with a bucket of water again, hopefully more tight pants on the ladies.
