Fuego en la Sangre, 07/18/08: The Pride of the Prejudiced
Padre Tadeo is telling the parable of the prodigal son. Bottom line: try a little mercy. If your kids go astray, then forgive and forget and simply love them. Any parent who doesn’t do this isnt’ following God’s teachings. Unfortunately for Sofia, the padre’s sermon has hit a little too close to the hacienda for Mama. Gabriela stands up and makes a big scene over wanting to leave the church immediately, but before she goes she stares daggers at Sofia. Sofia stands up. “Mama?” Gabi hauls off and slaps her daughter so hard it nearly knocks Sofia down. (Well, lady, if the town wasn’t gossiping about you before, they certainly will be after that little display!) Juan yells at her, “What’s the matter with you, Señora?” She rushes out of there with her daughters running red faced after her.
As soon as Crabi has stormed out of the church she starts bitching to Fernando while completely ignoring her two mortified daughters that Padre Tadeo was purposely trying to embarrass her in front of the whole congregation. Fernando says he warned her Tadeo was taking liberties he had no right to take. She’s fed up she says and swears the padre isn’t going to do this to her again. She’ll take measures to see he doesn’t mess with her or her family anymore. She’ll even look for a different church to marry her daughters in if necessary.
Both Sarita and Jimena try to calm Mama down, apparently fearing Mama will have another attack. ( Somebody needs to slap some sense into these 20-something ninnies, but oops! No can do. We must realize that what we’ve been witnessing the past few weeks is one long PSA on abusive parent dependency.) Gabi crabs and whines at Jimena that all she’s done is remind her of the problems she’s been causing herself. Gabi doesn’t miss her chance at more emotional blackmail. She turns to Feo: “See they want to kill me. They’re going to kill me. I feel ill. Take me back to the hacienda.” Everyone piles into the SUV for the gloomy ride back.
In his office Tadeo is telling Sofia and Juan that he cannot believe Gabi would have gone as far as to threaten her with a weapon. Sofia says that’s why she is now so scared for her sisters. Tadeo, ever the pseudo-psychoanalyst, says Gabriela’s problem is arrogance. She cannot allow the world to revolve without her controlling it. Juan snorts. Sofia says she blames herself, but Tadeo says not to, and that if he weren’t clear on the fact that she was a victim of evil deeds by certain individuals he wouldn’t have supported her and Juan’s relationship. (Somehow I still don’t think that quite fits into Rome’s overall game plan.) Juan doesn’t want to hear it. Next time he won’t hold back even if it means his life. Nobody messes with his wife and child. Tadeo looks at Sofia and says no, she must have patience. Juan doesn’t look too convinced and is anything but placated. Tadeo tells her that he will go see Mama himself. He only hopes that God will enlighten him how best to soften her heart (that’s assuming the woman actually has one).
Hortensia has gone back to the principal’s office at the local grade school. She’s trying for all the right reasons to get Pablito enrolled. The principal doesn’t understand why she can’t come up with the proper papers for him. She explains that his granny died and that the Reyes’ took him to live with them since he didn’t have anyone else. Hortensia is impactada to find that this is a crime in this man’s book. He "enlightens" her that children aren’t dogs and are supposed to be adopted formally; and since no good deed goes unpunished in the world of the bureaucrat, this one decides he’ll report the Reyes brothers to the authorities. Too late Hortensia realizes she suffers from foot-in-mouth disease.
At the bakery Franco is teaching Pablito how to paint as Oscar and he are finishing up the last of the repairs to the bakery. Franco tells Oscar that what happened to Sofia in church really baffles him. Oscar says it proves the bloody old bag has a black heart and it just roils his innards. Just then Quintina comes in with snacks. She chitchats with Oscar and Franco over the way Sofia’s mother went way overboard smacking Sofia around in front of everyone during mass, especially since she knew her daughter was pregnant. Talk turns to the bakery’s repairs nearly being finished and how the old bakery will look as lovely as ever (a definite matter of opinion) once the painting is done. Then it’s bath time for Pablito. Quintina and he are going to visit Don Augustin.
Back at the hacienda Sarita and Jimena look wistfully over at the finished cottage and remember their first time meeting Franco and Oscar. Sarita doesn’t want to remember but gives in to her emotions. “That’s in the past,” she sighs, “and there’s nothing we can do about it now. We’re getting married in one week.”
Juan walks in on his brothers and is amazed at the way the bakery looks now that they’ve painted it. (Yeah, a little paint and polish after a thorough sterilization never hurts.) Oscar says it was their little surprise since Juan was recuperating. Juan changes the subject and tells them that he’s worried about what he was saying when he was delirious and that now Sofia’s been asking him about it. He feels it’s time they should come out with the truth since it affects the relationships that all three of them have with the Elizondo sisters. Oscar looks like he’d rather let sleeping dogs lie.
Out back of the Bad Love Bar Armando is walking with Franco and telling him that if Rosario doesn’t return soon they’ll have to close the business. They don’t even have enough money to pay the help, and all because he had to gamble. “If you at least would win!” he complains. Fernando says it’s none of Armando’s business, but Armando says it is because he’s got money invested in the place alongside of Feo’s. “So pay your debts!” Armando pleads. “—With what?” asks Feo. Armando says Fernando’s got to think of something or they’re going to be carrying them out by the hindquarters (think dead vermin--or road-kill). Feo grabs Armando by the collar and warns him not to talk to him like that again ‘cause if he does, Armando knows what Feo’s capable of. He walks away leaving Armando in a snit. Armando swears to himself that he’s going to make Fernando pay for all the crap he’s taken off him.
Padre Tadeo comes calling on Gabi but she has no intention of listening to him, she says, especially after the sermon he gave in church that morning. He says he’s come on a priestly mission of reconciliation. She smirks and says don’t make her laugh. She can’t trust him any longer, he betrayed her and by the time she realized it her daughters were rebelling and the whole house was in turmoil. He suggests that all of it was a result of her inability to forgive. She tells him to save his advice. She’s closer to God than he is anyway. Tadeo warns her that such arrogance is a serious sin. She screams at him to get out or she’ll have them throw him out. “Leave and don’t ever come back! Just GET OUT!” (Didn’t that poltergeist in Amityville tell that priest the same thing the same way?) Tadeo turns and walks through the huge foyer.
On his way out of the house Fernando slithers towards him. “Great sermon, Padre,” he sneers. “Gabriela has ended up by hating you.” Padre looks him straight in the eye, “You’re the last person who should mock.” Feo snickers. “Don’t talk like that, little priest. I don’t deserve it. My sins aren’t that serious. Or do you know something else about me?” (Cantú’s got that evil smile thing down pat.) Tadeo answers, “The truth will be known shortly. Then you’ll find out.” Fernando snickers again. “What? What am I going to find out?” Tadeo replies with a look around toward the stairwell,“What some person said…before…dying.” Padre Tadeo turns and walks out the door as we hear a thunderbolt crack from on high and suddenly Feo’s smirk is gone.
The bakery is apparently finished and Juan and Sofia admire it. Sofia wants to learn to bake bread. Juan puts a bowl of eggs, a pitcher of milk and a box of flour onto his prep table, all ready to go. They start throwing ingredients together. (Wait, what’s wrong with this picture? Where’s the frickin’ mixing bowl????) Baking lessons begin and it’s a happy threesome; when the conchas are done they taste them. Quintina comes in to take Pablito to Augie’s, but he’s so full of flour and egg and sticky dough that he’s got to take another bath. Off he goes, kicking and screaming with Quintina. Juan and Sofia laugh. Juan kisses Sofia and says this is the way he loves to see her, smiling and happy.
Back at the hacienda Feo finds Gabi trying for a little booze-soothe in her office. She’s all nerves and breaks a glass as he enters. She says she just ran off Padre Tadeo and sucks her cut finger. He says he knows, he just saw him and complained about his behavior at the mass earlier. Fernando has apparently been considering his next move. Ever the gambler, he begins to play that extra Ace up his sleeve. He says he is embarrassed to have to bring this up as he doesn’t want to upset her further, but Tadeo told him he thinks that Feo was the one who raped Sofia. Gabi thinks it’s absurd and sits down to write a letter to the archbishop to complain in hopes of getting Tadeo replaced:
“…The priest in our parish is determined to dissolve the sacred ties of marriage of one of my daughters, giving unjust reasons that sadden and wear out our family.” Whoah! Feo couldn’t have done it better himself. “Perfect!” Gabi gives him a smug smile and then beams at him as she continues to write: “Kindly give this matter your attention so that you dismiss him as soon as possible for the good of our community.” Gabriela folds the letter and puts it in an envelope, pleased as heck with herself, and marveling at her own brilliance.
In his cottage, meanwhile, Augie and the friend who’s decided to invest in Sofia’s corn crop are kidding around and doing a little bit of cooking.
Meanwhile, that night, we see that Rosario and Bobby are adored by their growing fan base, and her smiles are genuine these days.
==============
Morning comes to Cd. Serdán. Juan is making bread dough while Sofia watches. She is curious to know how Juan learned to make bread. Juan tells her that after his parents died he and his siblings kept wandering from place to place and from town to town. He was feeling hopeless because he couldn’t find work so he could feed them. He came across a bakery and stopped there. He told the woman who owned it that he’d work in exchange for food. She liked them and not only fed them but gave them a room to sleep in and that was how they learned to make bread. Franco and Oscar show up and they join in the conversation. After realizing the conversation wasn’t about their vengeance oath, Franco says, yeah, they were hard times, but they managed to come out ahead despite it all.
Everyone shares a little Reyes family cumbayah moment singing a little ditty and doing a little jig when Rigo and his brother enter the bakery to interrupt the family bonding. Rigo tells the Reyes brothers that they were told Armando, the owner of the Bad Love cantina, had hired women from another town to stone Sofia. Apparently everyone conveniently forgot to mention this little circumstance to Juan. He gets predictably upset and Sofia quickly explains how the night before, when she was desperate to get him medical help after her loony 5’ 1” Mamita had beaten his 6’5” meaty frame into a delirious pulp, these women came out of nowhere with rocks and began to shriek at her. However Padre Tadeo appeared in the nick of time and managed to shame them into putting down their rocks and leaving before anything happened.
We are shunted back to the tour as Rosario finishes another fabulously received performance. Ofelia tells her that she just gets better and better at this. She asks Rosario what’s going on with this Bobby guy. Rosario says not much because she’s told him she’s in love with Franco. Ofelia tells her to consider giving him a chance because she might end up falling in love with him and find true happiness. Rosario thinks it over. Ofelia leaves and Bobby walks over.
Bobby tells Rosario the tour is over but in the time they’ve been together he’s fallen in love with her. He wants a chance to spur romance and to prevent them from making her suffer. (Major script disconnect here--does he know about Mr. Big and Feonando? And anyway, if a guy has to beg to be dated, there ain’t much spark in the sparkin’, so to speak, so why bother? Never understood that paradox.) If she loves Franco, though, he says, she’ll fight for him the same way he continues trying to win her affections. (Our little roly-poly Bobby bug and his boys make marvelous music together, but his wooden acting really makes Pablo’s look like academy award material.) Rosario mulls it over a little more.
Back at the bakery, Juan is angry to think of what might have happened to Sofia. He rips off his apron and is ready to rumble. Franco stops him and warns him not to mess with Armando because the guy is underhanded and very dangerous. (These guys are always so great at stating the obvious.) To emphasize his concern, Franco finally admits to them that Armando was the one responsible for ordering the beating that nearly killed him that night months ago; he’d refused to say anything for fear it would only make things worse.
In the office at the Bad Love, Armando is sampling some of the new hooch when he hears a “Howdy” from Juan Reyes. He turns around and sees three fists come at his nose and he’s knocked back into the wall. (Note: Is there some reason the three Reyes’ all have their huge sombrero’s strapped securely onto their chins during the ruckus with Armando? It’s like it’s symbolic of Mexican virility. Or, maybe it’s just the costuming department and the director’s choreographic creativity? Whatever.) Juan drags Armando by his nose to a nearby table and throws him down and starts choking him. It takes all their strength for Franco and Oscar to finally pull him off before Juan kills the guy. As the three Reyes jingle-jangle out of the room Armando struggles for breath and swears he’ll get even with Juan for this.
Meanwhile, Raqui has been shopping. She comes to visit Gabi and says she hopes she’s over her snit because she’s got something absolutely divine to show her and points to two boxes the house slave…er…servant is holding. Gabi smiles because she knows what’s in them.
Outside Franco and Oscar, fresh from their little brawl at the Bad Love, are galloping to see the two Elizondo sisters. Unfortunately, the twelve foot gate’s been locked this time. They realize they’ve never tried to enter from this side before. They start to climb up the gate when Rosendo drives up in the hacienda’s SUV. They tell him they’re there to visit with …uh…Don Augustin who’s told them to come by anytime they want. Rosendo offers to give them a lift and hides them in the back, then drives them around to the side past the gates to the cottage.
At Augie’s, Luisito and Pablito are dressed like Augie, in cravats and tuxes and the three are playing with enough toys to put FAO Schwartz to shame. Oscar and Franco come knocking and tell Augie that they’d really like to see Sarita and Jimena if it wouldn’t be too much bother.
At the same time, Maracuya is in her dressing room thinking very warmly about Oscar and their last conversation. She’s hot to trot at the vey thought of him and says to herself that he’s got to be hers, if only for a single night.
One of the servants fetches Sarita and Jimena and tells them Don Augustin needs to see them immediately. They show up at the front door and, after a little teasing from Quintina, “Surprise!” Oscar and Franco appear just inside the doorway.
In the main house in her office, Gabi is arguing with Fernando that there is no way she’s going to have Padre Tadeo marry her daughters. Feo tells her she needs to think it through better because she would be exposing her daughters to gossip (as if). Gabi gets miffed and asks whose side he’s on, anyway, hers or theirs. He sneaks a kiss on her neck and says hers, of course. (Skin crawl alert.) She growls not to pressure her. Right now she just wants to mail the letter to the Archbishop. Feo takes the letter out of her hand and says he’ll mail it for her then covers her face and neck with stolen kisses before he leaves. She is flustered and says to herself that she doesn’t want to fall into his arms (nor what comes after) because he would end up controlling her and she won’t permit it.
In Augie’s cottage Oscar is speaking with JImena, trying to get her to run off with him to get married. He tells her he knows just how to do it so nobody will know and when the others find out they’ll already be man and wife. Jimena doesn’t picture her wedding this way and balks at the idea. Oscar says it’s not like he can face her mother and ask for her hand. No way!
Jimena says sure Mama will be angry but she’ll eventually give in and accept Oscar as a son-in-law. Juan is the one she hates. The way she sees it, now that Fernando and Sofia are finished, there will be no reason for him to stay on at the hacienda. Her mother will need somebody to run the place and he’s a good, hard worker and a great administrator. Her mother would certainly give him the job. Listening to her, Oscar can almost see it himself there.
On the other side of the cottage Sarita is uselessly trying to get thick-headed Franco to see that he cannot love two women at the same time. He says loving two women could happen to any man and she should understand. “Never!” She doesn’t want to suffer over a love that’s going nowhere. (Finally we get some meaningful communication between these two, even if it is one-sided.) As long as he won’t choose to love her and her alone she has no desire to see him again. It has got to be either Rosario or her. Franco stands there, nose squinched and crinkled, his eyes squinting, apparently wondering why she has to be so cruel. It’s just too confusing a concept for the meatball headed one. Sarita gets irritated and stomps off in a frustrated huff.
Meanwhile, Rosario smiles as she watches off stage while Bobby performs his last set. (Yep. He definitely sings much better than he acts.) He sings his song to the crowd, but it’s obvious the words he’s singing are meant for her. (Yeah, he’s a roly-poly, but he’s a rich roly-poly and they could make beautiful music together…..) Rosario thinks back to what Ofelia told her about possibly finding unexpected happiness with him.
Beaming back to the state of Puebla at hyper drive, there suddenly is a loud knocking at the cottage door. Augie tells Quintina not to let anyone in. The two sisters hide just in case. Quintina opens the door and sees it’s Crabiela demanding to see her father. (How can the woman not have heard all that caterwauling and partying going on inside?) Quintina gives her guff about Don Augustin not receiving visitors today, but the witch pushes the door open and flies on in anyway. She scowls when she sees the two Reyes brothers there. “What are these two bricklayers doing here?” Augie says it’s his place and he can invite over whoever he wants. She sneers. “Your….guests, eh? Just like Sofia, with a preference for…trash.” Quintina rushes in to defend them but Crabi shuts her up with a look. Quintina looks like Crabiela might just zap her into a mouse or a monkey or worse.
Augie wants to know why Gabi is there. “You aren’t here to insult my guests, right? What can I do for you?” She says she wanted to speak with him, but not in front of this… filth. She makes her grand exit as Quintana mocks her and feins a couple of boxing moves. The girls come out of hiding and race back to the house before Mama realizes they’ve left. Quintina is upset that they almost got caught. She asks Oscar what he and Jimena were discussing. He says it was nothing in particular.
Back in Mama’s room the two girls grab for their books and shut the door. Mama comes in and smiles at her little angels. “Come with me. I have a surprise for you.”
It’s the wedding gowns that Raqui has just brought over for them. While Eva gets them fitted, Sarita asks if they really will be getting married. Beaming, Mama says, yes, it’s just exactly as she’s planned, one week away. Jimena asks her then, with Sofia gone won’t Fernando be leaving the hacienda also? Gabi says, why no. He’ll always live here at the hacienda. Always. (Is this the big “ahah! moment we’ve all been waiting for?) Jimena gets a strange look on her face when she hears this ‘cause she knows this doesn’t make sense. Gabi’s words are not lost on Eva who manages to hide her surprise.
Back in town Sofia and Juan are just about to enter the bakery. He wants her to go inside and rest up. She tells Juan that she is ready for work. She knew that when she decided to stay with him she would be working very hard and would have to leave everything behind in order to start her new life. He smiles at this and just has to tell her how good she is for him.
However, Juan and Sofia’s happiness is cut short when suddenly Armando appears with a couple of his goons and points his gun at the two of them. “I was just waiting to get my hands on you!” he yells over at Juan. Sofia protects our heroic and herculean Juan with her bony body and begins to scream at them. “No! Don’t hurt him!” Juan scuffles with her, trying to get her to go inside the house. (One of these days you’ll learn not to waste your breath, Juan.) Sofia manages to squirm away. “--No, Juan!” “—Pay attention to me!” he pleads.
Just in the nick of time Fernando yells at Armando to let Juan go, but Juan is not exactly pleased to see it’s Fernando who has come the rescue.

Thanks for the great recap, Jardinera.
Gabi is truly unredeemable. Her comment that she is closer to God than the Padrecito did me in. My eyes nearly rolled right out of my head. I don't think anyone who makes that kind of statement on a telenovela is allowed a happy El Fin.
Jimena is definitely not the brightest bulb on the string. She thinks Gabi will actually accept Oscar and let him run the ranch? The carpenter/baker who is not even from the same class as Gabi & Co.? Hel-lo?!?
And that last scene with Sofia trying to protect Juan from Armando & Co. and their guns. She forgets she is pregnant and will take a bullet for good ole Juan??? argh....
And worst of all, I forgot to record Meerkat Manor. Ack!

Thanks for the awesome recap.
I am so happy that yes, Sofie got smacked & yes come Monday she is once again putting El Hijo o La Hija in mortal danger. Please someone give her a neonatal pamplet.
I've been meaning to bring this little fact up. Ever notice how in nearly every TeleNovela esp the more melodramatic ones have the nearly eternal Virgin, meaning I think if you only do it once, well after like thirty years you get to be a Virgin again for all intents and purposes. See Clarita Destillando, and some chic that is on some Midnight telenovela. She is also on this one (the mom of the two brothers who help the reyes), or Socorro on Guapos. They have sex once either rape or willingly, have a kid and spend the next twenty to thirty years not having sex. Eva, that is you.

Jardinera, awesome recap! Love "Oscar says it proves the bloody old bag has a black heart and it just roils his innards." Although is Oscar bright enough to sting all those words together?
And was that preview of Crab and Feo doing some skin to skin contact. Ewwww!
So, tell me does Caray mean something. I don't speak spanish besides a few very dirty phrases and I can't find it anywhere. My kid asked while I was reading. Thanks

The recap is great, Calamity Cakes.
Notice how Armando's head resembles a punching bag without his toupee. Feo better watch it as Armando may be his only quasi ally besides Crabi.
Pudgy Bobby is not as sexy as Franco but he does have a cute smile and he's better for Rosario.
Did the promos show a disturbing scene of Crabi and Feo? Horrors but I will be watching.

C in GA: In the promo for Monday I think we did indeed see some writhing flesh that was passing as an embrace between Crabi and Feo. Ewww! I will have to force myself to watch but it will be like watching a snake embracing a scorpion. Ewwwww!!!!

Thanks, Cakes. I wonder why Ferd stopped Armando from shooting Juan. I would think that Ferd would be happy to have Sofia's lover blasted off the planet. Also, I think that ''Caray'' means like ''Oh my'' or ''Oh Brother'' . It comes from Tia in Alborado ; she said whenever she was vexed. Crabi is in for some type of awful end because she is just so flamingly malevolent. And, finally, after so many folks spoke about the many health code violations at the Reyes Bros Bakery, I guess that it has now been purified by fire.

Oh super. Looks like I might be getting the Feo/Crabi sex scene. Just the recap I've always dreamed of. ;-)
I thought "caray" came from "caramba," which my dictionary --which is from the time of the flood-- translates as "Good Heavens!" But I think the reason this blog is called "caray, caray" might have to do with Tia in Alborado always saying it. (Fernando in LFMB used the term many times as well.)
Isn't there enough turmoil on this show without bringing in problems for poor Pablito --probably the best actor on the show. Caray, caray!

Oscar's blackheart description isn't as tactful, he says the old hag is a royal pain in the ass-ola, but it isn't as "purdy" to say it that way.
? ; ? ))
=============
doris: Thanks, and I meant to say you really brought back some bittersweet memories when you mentioned Olga (qepd) and her monkey-writers. I'd say somebody bought a regular banana plantation to feed the writers on this telenovela! Although, coconuts might be just as filling with the bunch of literary loonies on the loose at Uni.
==========
Beckster: "Re-virginization", now that's an interesting concept, so creatively convoluted, but then, so is putting yourself in a 30 year chastity belt that way......
==========
I will say Bobby bug has a charming smile and handsome eyes. He only emotes when he's singing and those eyes seem to say it all, then. As a character, Rosario's only out is Bobby and let's hope she can see past smalltown and pass into the bigtime with him and Luisito. They are in the same league and by now I'd be so done with that french-fry Franco.....

Thanks for your usual excellent recap, mi compadre cakes!
Speaking of that french fry Franco - what do you think about his loving two women at the same time? Is that possible? Does he love them in different ways? Franco's confused because he's Franco and he can't process all that info. But, I'd like to hear from you that have some experience/wisdom on this issue...thanks...

Speaking of that french fry Franco - what do you think about his loving two women at the same time? Is that possible? Does he love them in different ways? Franco's confused because he's Franco and he can't process all that info. But, I'd like to hear from you that have some experience/wisdom on this issue...thanks...

Thanks for a very entertaining recap. Juan refers to Sofia as his wife. Was that ceremony performed by Father Tadeo supposed to be a marriage ceremony? Also, was the purpose of Feo telling Crabi that Father T accused him of the rape, just because he knew she would take revenge?

I think Feo told Crabi to make sure that he could control the way she finds out about it.
If, for safety's sake, the padre decided to risk his vows and tell; or if the Church granted the annulment; or if Rosario, safely out of Serdan, felt like writing the authorities and/or Sofia a letter about all the things that she knows about Fernando, such as his fondness for rape and crime in general; or if Sofia suddenly remembered something; or if Juan figured it out (hahahahahaha), then Crabi would be blindsided and who knows how she'd react.
Personally I think she'd still take Feo's side, but she wouldn't be ready to defend him immediately. This way, she's heard "his side" of the story and now they can plan a counteroffense together.
Naked.
Ugh.

I think it's possible to be in love with more than one person at the same time, especially if these people are very different and each appeals to a different side of your nature. It probably also helps if both of them are willing to compete for your attention.
But I doubt that everyone can do this because not everyone has the time, energy, and whatever other mental resources are required to maintain two such strong sets of emotions.
Sarita's so brainwashed by her mother that she seems surprised that it's possible to love even one person, so it's no wonder she can't see Franco's POV.
But if Benito were not so hung up on Eugenia, and put some effort into charming Sarita, I bet she could get just as confused as Franco is.

Juan refers to Sofia as his "Woman" which can mean wife but can also mean ...woman. Many people live in common-law-marriages in Mexico. Especially in the rural countryside. I see that Jimena still has her weight belt on.Maybe she can fasten some big girl panties to it and refuse to marry Octavio.
What is with the striped pants. Is that a male fashion in Mexico now? I saw some actors on talk show wearing them.Franco's are too tight. I like the male anatomy as much as the next gal but not if the clothes look uncomfortable and a little silly with a giant sombrero.mhm

Thanks Julie, it certainly would take a lot of energy to sustain all that emotion. Although in Franco's case, he doesn't seem to be too mentally taxed. lol Sarita is easily confused! She reacts to everything mama says she should. Sarita reminds me of that song: What is Love? You know with the heads bouncing sideways...

mhm: Thanks, you're right. Perhaps it was a Freudian slip on my part, tho' I am still never certain when these fake marriage things take place what the characters really mean. I was just as confused in Pasión as to what I should put in there.
Great recap, thanks. As far as being in love with 2 people at the same time, I've never been able to do it so I don't quite understand it. A lot of men can do it in the form of "playing the field". But you never know if it's love or lust. He could love one and lust for the other. Like Sarita, many woman immediately after meeting a man want to be the only one in his life. Even before they have a commitment, it's called "cheating" if she sees him with someone else". I think (and hope) that I'm the only one in my man's life. But I admit, I don't fully understand "the nature of the beast."

Thanks, jb! --Never having been in Franco's situation I haven't a clue. My best guess is that he's either in lust with both or he's in lust with Rosario and in love with Sarita or vice versa. Sarita may think the same thing but hasn't been able/been allowed by the telenovela gods yet to put it into words. I don't know if she could as sheltered and naive as she seems to be.
Madbuns/susanlynn: You've got me. My best guess is he wants to avoid any investigation which would lead back to Fernando being the silent partner for the Bad Love and all his gambling connections, debts, etc. that Armando attempting to kill somebody in broad daylight in front of witnesses would provoke, not to mention if Armando actually succeeded! Then he'd have to kill Armando to keep him quiet also, come to think of it.
Calamity, you mention Franco knowing Armando ordered the beating of Juan months before. Is this the beating by the river where Juan takes a bullet from Feo? How did Franco exactly find out this info? Just curious. And thanks for the great recap as usual.

I believe that Franco was referring to his own beating.The one where he ended up in the dispensary and the Padre had to ride like the breeze on his burrito seeking arriba y abajo for a doctor.

AHHH...HAAA...It's been a busy weekend here, and now I finally have a chance to drop in before I try to get myself organized for the week ahead. I guess that you can be in love [or ''in like,,,almost in love let's see how things go'' ] with two people at the same time. When I met Hub , I was dating someone else, and when the other guy found out about a date planned with hub , he tried to pressure me about not seeing anyone else...which....did not go over well with me. So I think that Franco could really be torn between these very different women. To me, Rosario seems more his type. Sarita seems too uptight and stuffy for a regular hombre like Franco...especially when she is trying to be Crabi Jr. , B***** -in-Training. I am not looking forward to seeing Ferd and Crabi getting busy tomorrow night. I will have to eat a light meal before I try watching that scene.

Cakes***You offer a good explanation for Ferd saving Juan from Armando's gun. Armando really hates Ferd, so this will make him hate him even more. I wonder how Ferd and Crabi will meet their fates...together ? ...apart ?..Will there be dolls involved? Will Crabi have to spend the rest of her days forced to be nice to people when the only job available to her is in customer service ? I really think that Mr. Ed is eventually going to kill Ferd.

G in CA, Tks! I don't know if you were around for the first few weeks, but Franco was talking about his own beating for continuing to visit Rosario after he'd been warned off seeing her again. I don't think Franco ever was conscious enough to realize that Fernando took a major part in his beating, either. I'm looking forward to that coming to light before he meets El Mapache in the true underworld.
Calamity, thank you for the explanation. I had forgotten about Franco's beating by Armando and the bullies. It is best to keep Juan out of the loop and Sofia too, for that matter. Gracias.

Loved the recap. Hate the striped pants. Why would Franco, or anyone, fall in love with Sarita? She has never shown any attractive characteristics that i can recall.
Thanks Cakes, awesome recap. I have gotten caught up on FELS just in time to leave for two weeks, argh! I'm always playing catch-up with this one. I sure am enjoying the over-acting and hamming it up, the galán over in Querida Enemiga is muy aburrido. I think he's a babe but he never takes his sweaters off...the drip. Last Sunday my sis and I were driving home from a wedding and stopped in a small town panadería for a snack. I couldn't resist getting a conche, they were fresh out of the oven. Then, believe it or not, "Para Siempre" started playing on the radio! Crazy coincidence, eh?
Ha! Cap'n Sylvia, nothin says lovin' like somethin' from the oven and "Para Siempre" says it best.....to paraphrase. Guess I'd call it mood musac.... 6 : ? ))

Dunno, Melinama. Those striped pants look to me like rejects from costuming on an Austin Powers set. It's hard to take anybody seriously thinking of Austin Powers.....

As for someone being in love with two people at the same time?
See FLDS..or Big Love on HBO. You can pretty much adjust to anything.
As for Franco, he really isn't much of a deep thinker, he is hawt for Rosario (and her assets..yeah her singing ability), and I am not really sure why he has the hawts for Sarita. or if he even does. Their relationship reminds me of teen angst movies where the not so attractive but ever brainy deep girl falls for the big smokin dude who will bring her out of her shell.

Cap'n Sylvia***You are now entering the Twilight Zone...do not try to adjust your attitude. I think that you have officially crossed over into telenovelaville. As for Alonslo taking off his sweater...I hope he doesn't. He provides no fuego por mi sangre....so he can just keep that pullover on. I'd rather see his dad take his sweater off...that old dude can boogie on down. Speaking of which, I am missing Liz Vega and am ready for a new Bailando show. Liz could show Rosario a few moves, verdad ?

Hi, Melinama -- in agreement with you, Why would anyone fall in love with Sarita, who hasn't shown any attractive characteristics at all!! She also seems so very mismatched with Franco.
Not very fond of Jimena's nasty fits either. I guess all the girls had a great insane psychopathic mom role model. But a lot of their behaviors are not very nice and I don't know why anyone would fall for them.
However, all of them are under the glowing flower spell, so that must be the magic reason why they all put up with each other!
Now then-- I would like some striped pants myself -- but not with those big wide stripes, instead with a smaller and finer stripe so that the stripes are much more subtle.
I was thinking that maybe the striped pants and the bandannas were a transferred over pirate look, to try to capture a new yet familiar effect for this audience of pirate fans!

Striped pants and coordinating rooster shirts...we will certainly start a fashion trend. Everyone will be so jealous.
Giving thought to the being in love with two women at once made me think of a guy friend of mine. He is definitely one that does that. Generally however, the women will make the choice for him. He doesn't intend to hurt either and usually the women appeal to differant parts of his nature. So, I guess I can kind of get that.
On the striped pants, someone earlier mentioned Franco's big sombrero too. I'm good with the stiped pants! I prefer the white undies however.
Heres to hoping tonight doesn't turn out stomaches with Crab and Feo! Blech!

Molly, I'm afraid I will have to cover my eyes if we see Feo and Crabi showing even a hint of skin tonight. Oh the horror!!! We will all be scared for life!
Franco and Sarita. Ugh, what a pair. It's hard to get excited about those two.
Early in the series they made a big deal out of Franco being the "intellectual one." They proved this by having him hold a book occasionally. He and Sarita bonded briefly over poetry.
That's right - they both read a book. There you go. That's all the proof you need that they are soulmates. ;-)

Julie, does it count if the book has really big pictures in it and no words?! I fear that is all Franco can understand.
Connie, I agree, not all skin is good skin to see! Now if they want to show Jorge, well I am all over that! Even if he is just shaving. Can we please have another bathroom scene with the broken shower curtain? Although I am still mystified by how he got shaving cream on his back....
Does Dr. Suess count as intellectual poetry?
Poor Franco, he is supposed to be the romatic who loves music and poetry. They really need to smarten that boy up! Bad writers!

Thanks for a wonderful recap Cakes, it was nice to go back this morning and remind myself of some of the details of Friday's show. Since I saw it only once and didn't record it, I appreciate all your careful details.
I feel sure that Gabriela has a big heaven-sent pie cart in her future for all her blasphemy and hubris, not to mention her mean, evil mothering style and her uncharitable snubbing of those less fortunate than she. BUT, my knowledge of telenovela-canonical law does not go deeply for priestly offenses. Is hinting at what was revealed in confession going to put Padre Tadeo in front of a fast moving pie cart? I sure hope not, he is definitely one of my favorite characters. In El Manantial the evil hacienda owner killed the first priest, but it was before we formed such a loving relationship with him and the replacement priest was Adela Noriega's (Alfonsina's) uncle, so he was bashed about a lot but finally triumphed.
I'm just worried about Paddy Tad and hope he has too much good deeds stacked up to be offed by the snaky Feo. It will be interesting to see if he is to be banished by the bishop for a time.

Molly and Connie*** You guys make a great team . Very funny . Dr. Seuss would be proud. Julie***I had to giggle at your comment about Franco being portrayed as the ''intellectual'' by having him ''carry'' a book. That one hit close to home. I was transported back in time to my high school libray when I was 16 and working as an assistant . A big, strapping, darkhaired jock came up to the desk to sign out a big, strapping book about submarines. I started a conversation with him about his choice of reading material, and he shared with me the fact that he needed it for a book report. WOWEE WOW, thought 16-year-old me, a hunk AND an intellectual , too !!! Then , he burst my bubble, by telling me that he always chose a book with a jacket so that......he could copy his book report from the synopsis on the cover.... I married him 7 years later.

Susanlynn - you don't even have to change Fox in Sox considering all the violence in this show. "Chicks with bricks come, chicks with blocks come" Its like Suess wrote for them. What is with all slapping? Gabby does it, Sarita does it. Can't remember if Jemina has...yet! But Sophia, the one that gets hit the most, never raises a hand. Works for the women with the rocks for the other town too! Crazy!
Hee hee hee.
Also, the amazingly fast house construction by the inexperienced bricklayin' Reyes boys:
"You can build a quick trick brick stack; you can build a quick trick block stack."

Also, I've always been the "bookish" or "intellectual" one among my acquaintances (which I find odd, because I hate thinking about anything deep. I don't know where people get their impressions) and when I was in high school I wrote one of my required book reports on "Fox In Socks." Got an A on it, too. I understand Franco.

Jardinera, thanks for that recap. The dough-mixing done slap-dash style on the table top was sorta gross, although lots of fun for Pablito.

BTW, I looked up the recipe for conchas, they have to rise several times, which would mean several hours from dough-mixin' to completion, yet Pablito still had raw dough caked on his head when they took the conchas out of the oven. For a kid who has three fathers, he sure needs a mother.

Cap'n Sylvia mentioned hearing "Para Siempre" on the radio at a panaderia.
At lunch today I heard a worker at the restaurant humming a verse I recognized as being from "Para Siempre. " A lot of people must be watching this novela and have this tune running through their brains as I find myself sometimes singing it in my mind at night just before I go to sleep. At least it is a beautiful theme song.

I am not Julie, I am...someone else.
Mostly I post comments on Guapos, because I love that show and watch it all the time, but I occasionally watch Fuego and I read the recaps always, because they're so entertaining. Actually, I find myself watching the show more now, because it's way more entertaining itself after reading the recaps and the comments.
Anyway, I'm not a librarian or teacher and I don't have kids, but I love Dr. Seuss.

After that , I was watching him on the baseball field and the gym for wrestling matches, or we were at the movies, dances, proms, and parties. He wasn't really a library-kind of guy....he just stumbled in there whenever he needed a book with a jacket [to plagiarize] for a book report. C'est-la vie.
