Fuego en la Sangre 7/4/08: Adding Fire to the Flames or From the Baking Pan into the Fire!
We begin as Juan now washes and massages Sofia’s hands and feet trying to get her feeling more relaxed. He wants to shower her with love. She tells him that she is truly better now and knows it’s time for him to begin baking for the next day’s business, but he says today he refuses to be separated from her. Sofia insists and says she would enjoy watching him work if only he’d let her sit quietly by in a chair near him. He kisses her and gives in.
Back at the Hacienda de Horrores Gabriela has parked her broom and is once again playing mirror- mirror in her bedroom. Tearfully she thinks back on her humiliation in finding out not only was Sofia pregnant by none other than that lowly bricklaying baker, Juan Reyes, but that Sofia’s marriage to Nonefer Nando was never consummated. She remembers Juan’s arrogance in riding that filthy beast into her grand entrance hall earlier that day to demand “HIS woman and child.” Under the painting of the Virgencita she recalls how Nonefer began to seduce her, her shamefully licentious if not totally incestuous response and her last minute rush from the bedroom before he could succeed in his attempt.
At the same time in his bedroom, Fernando stands in front of his mirror and fingers through his mussed hair. He is also remembering back to the events of earlier that afternoon. He recalls Juan Reyes daring him to stop him from carrying off Sofia and the way Gabriela screamed curses at the two lovers while he stood there calmly puffing on his cigar. He says to himself, “Nobody treats Fernando Escandón that way and gets away with it!” He thinks back to his seduction of his MIL and how it must have been Fate and says that nobody can stop it. Anyway, he figures, it’s not a bad idea financially to hook up with Gabi and she does attract him. (–Whoa!) He asks himself, “Does that woman really attract me?” He smiles as if he’s pleased to admit that she really does do something for him. (Mamasita, what a sickie!) He turns back to the mirror and smugly smooths his hair again and you can almost imagine a “666” on his scalp peeking out from that dorky part in his hair.
In the little infirmary Rosario speaks with Pablito and tells him she is Luis’ mother. She says he shouldn’t feel sad because she and the others will be there for him and he can come to play with Luis anytime. She turns to Oscar and Franco to tell them she’s glad they were let free without the need for a trial hinting that it was of course with a little help from someone, and then leaves. The two brothers wonder what she meant. Franco runs after her and asks what she was getting at. She tells him it was nothing and to forget it. He tells her then that he cannot stop thinking about her and wants to be alone with her. Rosario tells him her son comes first. They begin to kiss but she catches herself just in time and runs off after a definitive “No” which means "yes, but no."
Across town Juan is demonstrating his baking bag o’ tricks when his two brothers and Quintina arrive to give Sofia a huge welcoming hug. Oscar tells her how proud they are of her for confronting her family and leaving all of that behind her to just to follow his brother. She says all of her trials and tribulations were worth it provided she can now be here with them. Oscar tells her she is like a sister to them, and to consider the humble bakery as well as the house as her own. Quintina offers her protection as her guardian angel. (Uh-oh, we know that has got to mean trouble!) Both Sofia and Juan are overwhelmed at the positive reception.
At the hacienda, Augie shows Eva around his newly furnished digs in the cottage and asks her to work for him. Eva would like to but says they both know Jimena and Sarita still need her there at the hacienda. Augie says he’ll be living there from now on because he can’t stomach his daughter. Although he’ll miss his three granddaughters he will sleep soundly tonight knowing Sofia is now together with the man she loves.
Back at the bakery Sofia tells the others how much she will miss her grandfather and her sisters. She worries that her mother will make them pay for what she has done. She fears that perhaps Gabi may even send them far away from the hacienda to punish Sofia and perhaps she will never see them again.
Meanwhile, both Jimena and Sarita are asleep having bad dreams about their would-be lovers. Jimena dreams she’s making her confession and the priest who hears it turns out to be an angelic-faced Oscar. Sarita dreams about a chance encounter with Franco. Just as he is about to greet her Rosario catches his attention and he goes over to the sexily clad competition. Rosario and he begin sharing a steamy (well, for Sarita) kiss.
Oscar tells his brothers that if Crabiela plans on sending her daughters away for real then he’s going over there immediately to clear the air with Jimena. Juan warns him he could get shot the way things are at the hacienda right now. Oscar doesn’t care and heads off. Franco figures he’s got to do likewise. Juan cautions him but Franco says they’re grown men and know how to defend themselves. He tells Juan to think about Sofia and the child now. Juan admits to Franco they are the most important things in his life right now, but says his two brothers are life itself to him. They hug and Franco leaves to catch up with Oscar.
The sheriff is leaving and tells Dario and Palemon to be ready for anything since El Mapache is a dangerous kind to be locked up there. He is certain the guy is hiding something and knows way more than he is letting on and he’s not going to rest until he knows everything Mapache knows. As soon as he leaves, a not-so-dedicated Deputy Dario pulls out his deck of cards to play with Palemon. Dario hides them as Padre Tadeo walks in for his weekly chat with the prisoners.
On the other side of town in the office of the Bad Love Bar, Armando sends three of his men to rub out El Mapache and reminds them that Fernando doesn’t kid around and doesn’t like delays.
At the jail Padre Tadeo asks Mapache’s cellmate, apparently still in jail for Bernardo’s supposed hit and run, if he has anything to confess. The guy says no since he confessed last week and hasn’t had a chance to do anything sinful, being stuck in jail like he is. However, he says he’d like to chat with the priest about certain doubts he has about the death of Bernardo Elizondo, the man who was run over, when Tadeo has time. Tadeo says they’ll discuss it later. He asks El Mapache then if he wants to confess anything. Mapache says he has never confessed and so don’t bother him now. Padre T says fine and so we now know that once Mapache is offed he will definitely not be stopping by the Pearly Gates for a chat with St. Peter.
In the bakery Juan continues to show Sofia the tricks of his trade. They confess their love for each other and seal it with a veeeeery long session of sincere kisses.
Franco enters the balcony window of Sarita’s room and opens the drawer of her desk. He takes out the letters she wrote to him and reads: “The indifference of your love is more painful than the storm lashing the hacienda this evening.” He is overcome by her passion on the page.
On the other side of the house Oscar stands next to Jimena’s bed . She wakes up and sees him standing there. He confesses that the business about the seminary was only a lie he told in order to get her to react. He was desperate to have her back. She is angry and says she has suffered from all the lies he told her. He grabs for her and begs her not to get angry. She keeps telling him to let her go and they fall onto the bed.
Jimena pouts while Oscar tells her his heart was won and it was the only way he could get her “big snout” to react to him. (It sounded so dumb at first, but then, Jorge’s delivery is just so appealing that I’ll forgive the stupid script.) It’s not exactly the way a woman likes to be described and she tells Oscar as much. “I don’t have a big snout!!” He says it’s only a way of saying that he wanted to get her to stop being so angry with him. He calls her his little snub nose then to make up for it. Jimena pouts some more and tells him she isn’t snub-nosed.
Oscar asks Jimena not to be so unruly . “Stop beating around the bush and tell me what you want!” she irritatedly spits back. “—I told you already. I came to say good-bye. Sofia said that your mother might send you and Sarita far away because of what happened.” “—No, she’s not going to send us anywhere.” Oscar fills Jimena in on what’s happened and says that her sister and Juan are fine and the doctor says she needs to rest a bit is all. He kisses her and tells her he only wants to be with her, to take care of her, his little snout. “I’m not a little snout,” she pouts, but she melts in his arms anyway and suddenly all is forgiven. (Finally, we get some really first rate sexual chemistry and well-delivered and timed repartee worthy of Hepburn & Tracy between at least one pair of arguing lovers. Glad I stayed awake a while longer.)
Franco reads another letter: “In the half-light of my room I write to you of my pain.”
Jimena and Oscar begin to get passionate until Jimena remembers she is a “good girl.” Oscar says fine, he respects her and will wait till they’ve been blessed by God in matrimony. He admits she’s just so pretty that he gets carried away. He says he’s never changed his mind even though so many things have happened between them. He still wants to marry her. Unfortunately, he reminds her, she’s engaged to another man. (Touché, Jorgé.)
Raqui Raccoon Uribe, aunt of Tall and Small Tweedle, comes to the hacienda looking for Gabi “despite the late hour”. Raqui tells Gabi that when she went to visit her at the hospital they had already given her a discharge and felt she should come right over. (Why how recovered you are, Grandmother Ridinghood!) Gabi smiles a big, false, “Why, thank you!” Fernando sees Raqui and Gabriela chatting together in the foyer and, still unaware of the two men upstairs in the sisters’ bedrooms, he comes down to join them. He lavishly slathers compliments on the easily flattered and rather flirty Raquel.
Gabriela gets jealous when Raqui praises Fernando over being “such a charming son-in-law.” As Feo walks Raqui into the living room to get her a drink, the Witchy One watches sourly with green-eyed resentment.
=================
Fernando has given the order to rub out El Mapache before he squeals to the police about Armando’s and his criminal operation and his henchmen are worriedly discussing amongst themselves how they’re supposed to get into the little jailhouse to get the job done. Either they bump off El Mapache or Feo will bump them off. Just then Padre Tadeo walks past. They lower their heads to hide their faces as he greets them.
A bit later one of the hit men apparently dresses up like the padre and walks in with a sack in his hand. Dutiful Deputies Dario and Palemon are in the middle of their card game. Deputy Dario looks up momentarily but all he sees is the back of a cassock out of the corner of his eye as the person walks by. (Conveniently he does not notice that the “priest” DOESN’T HAVE A SALT AND PEPPER GRAY BOUFFY-DO.) Deputy Dario mentions to the other deputy that it’s a bit strange that Padre Tadeo should be coming back again so late. The two figure he must have forgotten something and go back to their card game. The man in the cassock leaves a sack of pastries next to the cell bars. Mapache’s cellmate takes the bag but El Mapache grabs the bag out of the other guy’s hand and pigs down the goody inside.
Downstairs, Feo continues to flirt and flatter Raqui as Crabiela looks on. Finally Gabi can’t stand it any longer and walks off in a huff to the kitchen. She grabs a butcher knife and starts angrily stabbing a huge piece of rubber beef on the counter. Feo excuses himself to Raqui and catches up to Gabi there. He begins playing his MIL like the high-strung Stradivarius wanna-be that she is. “I see you’re angry, but I am not your enemy. Your own daughter and those damned dogs, the Reyes brothers, are the enemy.” He encourages her to take her hate out on them, not him. “Make them pay. Make them pay!” he hisses in her ear as rattler tails start shaking ominously in the background.
Upstairs in Sarita’s room Franco reads another love-letter: “Franco, I try to hate you, however, each day I love you more and every morning I eagerly await your arrival. But even though you are so near to me you are not mine and never will be.” He puts away her love-letters and thinks to himself “Thank you, Sarita, for such pretty letters.” He puts a finger-kiss on her lips and leaves the way he entered.
Oscar tells Jimena he’ll do things God’s way and promises to come see her tomorrow; in the meantime he’ll tell Padre Tadeo that he won’t be entering the seminary. He gives her a big kiss and leaves through the balcony window to join Franco. (I am definitely patting myself on the back for not sleeping through their scenes together this time!) Jimena blows him a sensual kiss.
Meanwhile our crazed Gabi has taken Feo’s words to heart and is outside in a shed looking for something.
Back at the bakery Juan has been showing Sofia how he makes his bread dough. (Anybody else sickened by her long hair so near to the work-table? Ah well, in for a penny, in for a pound.) Outside the bakery we catch a silhouetted glimpse of the scythe-carrying, Mexican-style serape and sombrero’d phantasm of Death. Inside again, Juan knocks over a cellar of salt from the table. (Superstition and foreshadowing are the name of the game in these things.) Juan starts looking now for a tray he wants to use to bake his Sofi cakes on. He thinks Quintina may have it and has to go back to the living quarters into the kitchen to look for it. The oven is off he says (for our benefit) and he notices how chilly it is in the bakery. He takes his serape and covers Sofia with it. He stops to tell her she is his whole life; she says he is hers. He kisses her again before leaving and shutting the door to the living quarters.
======================
After eating the entire bag of goodies that the “priest” left, El Mapache is literally foaming at the mouth and in agony (from which we can assume he’s been poisoned). His jail mate runs over to Mapache to ask what’s wrong. (Got to admit I was having gagging reflexes about now. They were certainly using the FX’s A-team for this scene! Blechhh!) El Mapache, through his creamed mustache, whispers with his last, dying breath, “I’m dying. El Escandón…..It was him. It was him that…. I’m dying….. It …was… him that….that….” he croaks, then dies.
Juan is searching high and low for a special baking tray when Oscar and Franco return safe and sound from the hacienda. Oscar admits he could have finally complied with their oath for vengeance made at Libia’s tomb but he cracked and failed. He couldn’t go through with it because he is in love with Jimena and he respects her. Franco asks Juan when he plans to tell Sofia the truth. Before he can answer Padre Tadeo shows up for coffee and a chat. He is all excited because Oscar has been accepted into the seminary and is to present himself there the very next morning bright and early to enroll.
Outside batty Gabi, driving slowly along in Feo’s black SUV, approaches through a couple of crafty camera shots like the bloodsucking vamp she is and flies towards her prey. Whoosh-thrump. Whoosh-thrump. She rummages around behind the seat and drags through a jug of gasoline. (Yes, the old “if-you-can’t-beat-‘em-burn-‘em” technique of Telenovela vengeance has been set in motion, though under normal circumstances, there is no way that a little painted and plastered, brick and mortar building could catch fire, but we are of course, in Telenovela-land.) Gabi stealthily crosses the deserted and dark little street and looks through the window at Sofia. “You all are going to pay! You all are going to pay! Whoever mocks Gabriela Elizondo pays for it with their life, even though it might concern my very own family (blood). Be that as it may, you’ll pay!”
Sofia is now sitting with her back to the street. Sofia gets up momentarily to look at the scrumptious (has to be for a pregnant female) varieties of pastries and rolls her man has made. She goes for a concha and smiles as Gabi continues to pour gasoline along the front of the building. Gabriela stands back and watches her daughter (who, being pregnant, I figure is probably famished and gobbling down that roll by now –Ok. Ok. Since it’s Sofia, it is more likely a voracious nibble than a gobble). In the moonlight, with the lighter in her hand, Gabi proclaims nigh orgasmic that Juan and Sofia must pay for all the harm and shame they have caused her; they do not deserve to live. She throws the lighter at the trail of gasoline. Woosh-Favoom! As Sofia looks happily around inside the little bake shop, the building explodes into flames.

Jardinera, excellent recap! What an exciting evening. I have to say as a life long Catholic I think every girl has their Father what-a-waste; I thought mine was Fr. John, but now I have to go with Fr. Oscar! That Jorge, what a hotty. Dream Rosario reminded me of the Flintstones! I have to say I find Oscar and Jimena far more exciting than Juan and Sophia at the moment. Again, great job of on the entire episode, you really got all of it in there! Thanks!
Ha very good..the rubber beef, yeah that was some sad meat.
Okay so Gab's has officially gone BSC and all in the name of piety. Very good call on the Mexican Fire. I rolled in Mundo when they set the cement brick clinic on fire. I asked my husband if the entire time he lived on the ranch with the adobe house if one ever burned down, uhhhhh that would be a no. Yes the door would burn, but once the gasoline burned up, that would pretty much be it. I am gonna be all shades of pissed if the house burns down, I don't think it will cause remember Ma & Pa's treasure chest of 40 year old forgotten goodies is in the house.

Thanks Jardinera, and I'm glad you got to stay awake for the good stuff.
The scene with El Mapache doing an imitation of an overflowing washing machine was pretty gross, and the shadowy figure of death with scythe was verrrrry creepy.
Was glad to hear what was contained in Sarita's poems since I didn't catch it during the show. Thx again!

Great recap, Jardinera. I wasn't sure that I understood correctly when Feonando admitted that he found gabi attractive. As an "older' woman myself, I dont find it unbelievable that he would find a woman her age still attractive, but CRABI??? She is such a dried-up, nasty prune. I think that Bracho did a great job of being appalled and turned-on at the same time during their kissing scene, so maybe he is attracted by the challenge of getting her to "give in", for what of a better term.
Yesterday i posted late that I think Mapache is played by the man who was Luigi's father in LFMB. Does anyone know?

Jardinera, Thanks for the great recap, as always so funny. I am worried about the edit job or the terminal forgetfulness of Oscar and Franco. After they reassured little Pablo that he would have 3 Dads, they went off and left him to chase after their dream girlfriends and later to yuk it up with the PaddyTad back at the Reyes house. Where is Mariachi and the boy?? Did Abuela die and they just dumped the kid there to watch??
Also the Mapache death scene was kind of fun after he was such a piggy over keeping all the sandwich to himself but the foaming scene reminded me one time long ago when I tried to use regular dish soap in a dishwasher. The endless stream of foam curled out of the machine and rolled across the floor of the kitchen in much the same fashion as it rolled out of Mapache. Just pitiful it was!

Oh crap I forgot about the foaming scene...but was it really poison, hmmmm? Remember Juan was only like three spit bubbles short of a full foaming a couple of days ago. Maybe there is a special potent toxic spillage under the jail, also maybe that was sandwich was delivered the death guy. Geez everyone wants to blame Fer for everything. Remember the only fire he ever set was in Gabi.
Thanks, guys. This one did have its moments, though it was hard to keep the hubster (actually both of us) from snoring through those interminable baking demos Juan was giving his belov-ed. I had the suspicion Sofia would have rather been jumping Juan's bones but had sense enough to realize that he literally needed to put bread on the table and made do.....
As for Feo's attraction to Crabi, I wondered about it too, but figured the age difference if the actors were really the correct ages for their roles, wouldn't be that much of a problem. (I'm an "older" woman myself, much as I hate to admit it.) The crux of the matter for me is the incestuous relationship that remains as far as social mores and religious dogma are concerned, despite the fact that technically he never consummated the marriage to her daughter. Aside from that the two are like-minded, obsessively controlling brutes and are definitely perfect for each other.
Now, I had to laugh at that kitchen scene with Diana Bracho trying to get that knife to actually stick in that fake piece of meat. Must have been what they use in department store displays. What a hoot! I half expected the knife blade to break!
Can't say much about leaving Pablito except that the doctor says he won't leave his abuela's side, so I suppose he's sleeping on a cot nearby or something.

I think they need a full scale search for Mariachi, my second favorite character after Pablito.
The torta was looking tasty until Mapache started foaming at the mouth. Does cyanide cause that foaming? It's probably not that hard to find, unlike a poisonous coral snake. It's interesting how the goons found a padre's robe so quickly or perhaps they just happened to have one handy.

I'm guessing the foaming mouth of Mapache was mentos and diet coke mixed together after he ate the sandwich -- that was really a Halloween skit kind of foaming!! Lots and lots and lots -- just to show he really really really deserved that poisoned torta!
http://www.revver.com/video/192723/coke-and-mentos/
None Fer Nando is totally attracted to Crabiela's Money$$$ -- and he can put up with the rest of her with the lights out! Yeah! they do deserve each other! Did you all see the gossip-tv spot with EY where he says that Fernando and Gabriela separately are bad, but by joining forces they become really wicked. So true, they really amp each other up. They definitely have the same approach to other people -- slap, hit, scream, steam out ears, repeat.
That rubber beef looked like a leg of prosciutto, difficult to stab since it's all dried.
Thank you for the faithful recap -- hard to wait til Monday now -- what with the plaster bakery burning all weekend until we return to watch again. How come nobody saw her do it?

Great recap! I've been too involved in my other life lately to keep up with things but had time to check in for this masterful summary! Thank you so much.
Gabriela has sunk to whole new leel of lowness when she becomes an arsonist and also willingly tries to murder her own daughter. What a shame.
That was pretty quick work moving all of don Agustin's stuff to the cabaniera not to mention the fast painting of the inneriors.... I guess they had the entire team of servants do that off camera. ;) :)
Mapache's death scenbe with the foaming mouth could have been coke and mentos or mouthwas. Both could accomplish that feat. Try gurgling with the mouthwash. Years ago, I tried that mentos experiment making a rocketship out of coke bottles.... LOL.

Prosciutto ham! Gees, Louise! Sure, it could have been that. It was the last thing I certainly was thinking of. I've seen hunks and smallish legs of it packaged in the supermercados in Andalucia, and I know the restaurants here use it in dishes. Though I've never seen it sliced like a hunk of beef roast, that's as good a guess as any.

I think Melinama needs to put an honorary list with their definitions on the orange sidebar along with the menu of telenovela titles! All of us can probably list one or another from sometime or another........

Thanks, Cakes for another great recap. Things are moving along...Let me count the ways : a poisoning leading to some muy unattractive mouthfoaming, a meatstabbing, and a fire. Crabi not submitting to Ferd's smarmy attempts at seduction is just proof that her mission in life is to make sure that NOBODY has any fun. I agree with you, Cakes, that Sofia looked like she would have preferred Mighty Joe Juan to be making love instead of making bread. And here's a tip, Sofia : any job [ex. breadmaking] that you learn to do will be YOUR job...I'm just saying . I've learned this wisdom through personal experience over the years . [I can't operate the mower; therefore, I cannot mow the lawn.

BSC...
means Bat Caca Crazy, like really around the bend crazy..
Telenovela characters tend to go totally BSC, now Quintana is just quirky, but Fer & Gabi's are BSC, these people rarely come back to sane thought. Each action just becomes more pronounced until the Gran Fin, when they tend to fall over 1)a cliff 2) off the steeple of church during a Wedding of beloved couple 3) fiery death
However it happens they are guareenteed to be punished in a horrific manner.

Each action just becomes more pronounced until the Gran Fin, when they tend to fall over 1)a cliff 2) off the steeple of church during a Wedding of beloved couple 3) fiery death
However it happens they are guareenteed to be punished in a horrific manner.
Beckster***Thanks for the pic of Pablo with the long hair...I am liking it. I like longhaired dudes. I must admit that Eduardo and Jorge have seemed to loosen Pablo up a bit. I think that he is learning from them that the key to acting in novelas is not taking oneself too seriously. In Duelo, Pablo had uno expression, at best , but in Fuego I've counted at least three so far. Who knows how many will be at his command by the end of this novela??? I am psyched about watching the new novela featuring Marcelo C. And, finally, my favorite Becksterism : CFM shoes [in reference to Dora the Explorer of the thigh-high boots in DA]. We could make this like a potluck social with everyone bringing a becksterism to the party instead of a covered dish.

Que lastima (What a shame)! No puede ser (This cannot be)! ME DESTROSA EL ALMA!!! (You're breaking my heart.)
You say there is a video of TBLMOE.
You give me the link.
The link works (and I get to see some new pictures of him).
Pero NO FUNCIONA! The video doesn't work! Nooooo!!!
Maybe it's bad sunspot activity or something. Maybe it will work later day. Hope endures.

Theories: Sophia is not Crabi's daughter. She is Eva's?????? Rosario is not Evas, it is the woman who takes care of her, since she has shown tears on a few occasions when Rosario was crying. Now with Father T. They have someone that looks like the Padre go into kill the prisoner. Maybe that was Feo's plan, so Father T will go to jail. Feo wanted to get rid of him. Also Fea was responsible, I think, for the three brothers going to jail.

Thanks, Beckster, BSC is a good description of the 2 eeevill villains Crabbi and None Fer. Sometimes it looks like None Fer is suggesting things to Crabbi just to see how far will she really go...because he looks pretty amazed at what kind of wacko stuff she actually does, and how high she flies off the handle at everyone around her. Lots of times he seems to be probing for what will set her off like fireworks. These 2 actors are really good!
Did you notice that when Diana Bracho gives interviews on tv about her role that she carefully separates her real self from the character. She talks about Crabbi in the 3rd person, and says how bad Crabbi is, and she laughs a lot to make the role seem less frightening. That's clearly because Crabbi is such a realistic embodiment of evil!!! and embodies psychological dysfunction as a definition of evil--something we can really believe. Yikes, sometimes it's very scary!

Actually I thought it was kind of odd that Gabriela would have scruples and morals about fooling around with her son in law. Kind of odd, considering all the other stuff she and he are always up to -- I mean, how does murder rate morally against sexual relationships with son/mother in laws??!!?? One would think that murder would have greater internal taboo mechanisms, huh?

3:21: I know it seems weird that she'd be more hung up on the sex than the murder, but don't forget Gabi is already responsible for her mother's death and wasn't bothered in the least by it because she passed the blame off on her father.
Likewise she can burn the panaderia down, kill everyone inside, and say that it was Juan and Sofia's fault for embarrassing her.
Meanwhile it was established in early episodes that she thought sex was vile and disgusting. Now she's hot for her SIL and has no way of blaming anyone for that except herself. Hence her moral dilemma.
That's my theory, anyway. A second theory would be that she's totally insane. Take your pick. :-)

I was thinking alka-seltzer for the mouth-foam. Lucky for the cellmate Mapache was a greedy jerk who didn't like to share, huh?
I was totally stumped as to what Gabi had been stabbing with the knife. I thought it looked like an ugly-shaped block of wood, but couldn't imagine why that would be in the kitchen!

Great recap Jardinera and glad you were rewarded for your efforts by some hot lovin' between Oscar and Jimena. Seems like this episode was not as tedious as last weeks.
I sometimes feel sorry for Diana Bracho. She always lands these hideous roles and always portraying someone evil and destructive has to get to you after a while. No wonder she refers to Crabi in the third person!
I know she had a role in a daytime soap recently where she was a sweet and battered! wife but for the most part they seem to cast her as monsters.
What a life. Hope she's well paid and can afford therapy.

The not giving in with Gabi falls back on control...
While highly tempted to take a ride on the Fer express, that would be surrending control.
She thinking Fer is a moral upright pillar of a son-in-law has no idea that he would jerk her chain.
Now I got to say this for Gabi, she was allowed to be a totally nasty bitch for years. I can't really say I'd greet ole Lidia with a cup of tea. That whole funeral scene was soooooooooo over the top. Young teen girl comes in throws herself on top of the coffin sobbing about the death of her true love, by the by father of her kid. Seriously would anyone have a good reaction to that?

Thanks, Julie -- I vote for totally insane for Crabiela -- then all rules go out the window and any kind of wacko thing is OK!
And Beckster, you betcha, I'm with you! -- the whole Libia crying on the coffin and screaming about being pregnant was totally over the top for sure -- and I can't think of anybody who would think that was ok and be accepting of her -- especially an insane widow!!

Well, Sofia, Augie and Eva were the 3 dolts...er...saints --take your pick-- at the funeral who never thought twice about the histrionics at the funeral, nor the fact it was due to ol' papa playing X-rated post office with the peones and would have been expecting to get a special delivery as a result. I didn't buy it, either, but my motto with these things is "Suspend all logic ye who enter here!"
Jardinera, thanks for the wonderful recap and also words of wisdom. I remember lasy year, when I first started watching the novelas, you mentioned suspending all logic. That has gotten me through the rough times, and now the frustration just goes away with an eye roll...

Or, the original quote from Dante's Inferno would work here, too : ''Abandon hope all ye who enter here.'' [A student of an English teacher friend of mine put a sign with those words over the door of her classroom , and,,,,,she left it there for years !!! I agree, Cakes, that suspended disbelief is the only way to watch these novelas...and for some the degree of suspension is more than others. I've been watching ''Alborada''----insery big sigh right here. That's still my numero uno telenovela.

Great recap! I missed the beginning because I dozed off and haven't gone back to watch it. It was certainly an interesting episode. When Crabi stormed out because she was jealous I almost fell off the couch laughing. I looked at Quintina's lipstick and noticed that she looked just like the Joker. Not the new Heath Ledger Joker but the old Jack Nicholson Joker. Maybe we should call her The Joker. It freaks me out every time I see her. I always wonder how and why she puts it on like that. I would personally like to see more of Juan's horse.
Episode/Capitulo 49 was interesting. I wonder if Don Agustin thinks to himself "Where did i ever go wrong in Raising Gabriela?" She is such a train wreck... With misguided morals nonetheless... Tst Tsk Tsk.
Btw Quintanilla does look like the joker with that lipstick on. Maybe we should just call her Jokernilla. Laff.

That's funny Julie! Lipstick on a horse! I saw that the Punisher was on this weekend and I had to watch because EY was on it. He is just so dreamy....Big Sigh... At least he wasn't wearing the rooster shirt.. but then again maybe it was hidden under his suit!! What did happen to Pablito? They are going to be running out of room at the Reyes residence pretty soon. Where does Joker sleep anyway? I thought she was in Libia's room.
Connie,
Maybe she is like Alice on the Brady Bunch and sleeps behind the laundry somewhere. Which I guess they hang outside, considering the scene where Sophia was sniffing up Juans shirt. Maybe there is dog house out in that little courtyard!

Maybe Pablito goes to bed early? I dunno! Maybe he is like other soap opera children and dogs, who fold away for convenient storage when not needed.
I also wondered where Quintina sleeps. Maybe she still lives at her sister's place? I had thought she was going to move in with Grandpa (the guy needs some kind of bodyguard), but I was wrong about that.

Grampa needs a taser--the kind that shoots the little barb things. He could use it on Crabi when she starts smacking everyone around and on Feo when he threatens to backhand him. Take that you no good piece of ****. Flop, flop, foam, foam! Ha!
Ha ha ha Connie that's good! I agree, Abuelo Augie could really use a taser -- he could use it to stun the heck out of None Fer too. I think he would really like to use it on Crabi when she's up there smacking everyone's faces around. He could wear his Devil outfit or a spaceman suit and wail on them with the taser!

I have not seen Don Agustin wear that spaceman suit yet but i do know he has one. How long does it take to change into his costumes? He probably has to get in the elevator then wheel himself into his closet when he was still in the hacienda. It is easier now that he is in the cottage... Btw i like the Taser part. He should get one to shoot at Crabby and Fernando. It would be priceless to see Gabriela shake and have spasms then yell muerto when she thinks she will die. But not realize she will wake up in a few minutes. :)

"Set phasers on stun..."--I haven't seen the spaceman suit but that would be great! He could hide the taser down in his wheelchair and then..."So Feo, you want to get rid of me do you? I don't think so" zzzzzttttttt. "Oh wait a minute I couldn't quite hear you. What did you say?" zzzzzzzttttttt. "Sorry I couldn't hear you. You were flopping around like a fish. Oh you want some red lipstick? Coming right up!" Then Quintina zooms in on her motorcycle and whips out the red lipstick---take that you scumbag! (Not quite as dramatic as Juan on the horse but you get the idea.)
(biting my tongue, sitting on my hands, trying not to ask what Abuelo will use for a fire hose... FAIL)
Connie***Thanks for the giggles. I especially appreciated the added sound effects [zzzzztttt]--very good. I'd kind of like to carry around a taser, too....I'm I'll just pretend to taser someone...and make that sound ...zzzzzttttt. Hey, let's all do it .

I actually have a stun gun and pepper spray... but I loaned them to Sophia in an earlier episode(although they don't seem to be doing her much good!)I have a friend in the army who said they used to have "taser rodeos." They would taser each other and see who could hold out for 8 seconds.
I'm not sure grampa would know what to do with a real tazer, he seems more into toys. Wasn't that a teddy bear lamp in the new house when he was showing Eva around? The writers are really strange when it comes to him!
Go to cabellas.com and search for stun gun and it is the mini thunder for $19.99. Can't beat the price.
Thanks, Connie. Glad to oblige. The tazer idea "zzzzzzt" was LOL great!

An excellent episode, lots of goodies and a wonderful detailed recap, Jardinera.
I was thinking "Fuego en la sange, nope, this time it's fuego en la panaderia." Yes, Crabi was crazy with rage, which was why she didn't bother to see if anyone was in the street before she started flinging around the gasoline? Anyone coming along could have spotted her or the car. And she's able to heft that big can of gas even though she has heart trouble? OK, the heart trouble is fake, but still...??
Me, I would set fire to the bakery because of the long red hairs added to the dough, on top of whatever body hair and sweat Juan leaves in it.
Loved, loved, loved Gpa Augie's new cabana and the elaborate interior decor. Who did that so quickly, the Ibarra brothers & associate? Quite a cozy litte casa.
Also loved Mapeche frothing at the mouth. A fitting, if overdone, punishment for his evil deeds.
Sofia in her new home at the bakery makes me think of Snow White and the seven dwarfs. I know there's only 3 brothers, but the whole thing has this fairy tale quality to it.
I vote for Abuelo to have a taser. Quintina should probably have one too, just to add to the fun.
FELS must have influenced my dreams. During a nap Sun. afternoon, I dreamed a family reunion with much food laid out on several counters. My sister and I were checking it all out, and I saw a large round bun, with a bug crawling in and out of it. Obviously a product of Los Reyes.

What a great recap to this story that's finally heatin' up. Sorry folks, couldn't resist.
I always find myself puzzled by control freaks like Crabi and I've known a few - even someone near and not so dear to me. On one hand they're scared to death people will think bad of them (morally) but they don't care that their family and others already think they're terrible, terrible people because of their deeds. Wouldn't buring down a building with people in it be way worse on the sin scale than having a bastardo? I'm just sayin'

La Paloma, you are a riot. Sofia was caressing that one bun and it looked like she did not eat it but left it on the tray. Ugh. She is a perfect addition to the expanding germ population on the pan at the Reyes bakery along with Gramps, though he left, Quintina, and Pablito.

Yeah...Abuelo might accidentally taser himself or Quinty. Maybe a paintball gun would be fun for him to have. I'd like to see Crabiella and None Fer Nando covered in paint from head to toe...maybe green for Crabi and hot bubblegum pink for Ferd.Taser vs. paintball gun...pros and cons. Discuss.

Mad buns/susanlynn: Ackkk! Paintbal would definitely be more Augie's style and just as fun. Me, I'd still go for the taser! zzzzzzt!
Maybe one of you could come up with a new weapon -- a combination Tazer and PaintBall Gun!! -- good for the impromptu "Tazer/PaintBall Rodeo" whenever None Fer and Crabbi appear anyplace near the cabana. Blat-ZZZTtt ha ha ha ha!
Covered in paint and dancing up and down too! Poetic justice of the best kind!

Suspend logic all ye who enter here, indeed! First Crabi is ready to lock Sofia up in her room so she can't leave (admittedly for her twisted version of the family honor, not for love), and then when this hated kid is gone from the house, instead of sighing in relief, she tries to burn her up. I'm sorry, I like my villains with a little more logic. It was always quite clear what Bouffy in Pasion was about. All about the money all the time. He didn't like his daughter too much either, but wasn't obsessed with controlling her every movement.
The novela is getting more interesting, but I just find Crabi's irrational behavior hard to take. Wouldn't someone in this stupid pueblo besides Padre Tadeo have been onto her by now?

Yes, it all does have a fairy tale quality -- I mentioned Brothers Grimm one one of the past days' comments because of this sensation, and also because of the scary parts of these chapters -- just like the German version fairy tales.
I agree, Sofia at the bakery does feel like Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs.
Crabbi is certainly Baaad Enough to be the Evil Stepmother, although there are no tazers in Snow White though, rats! But you remember that the wicked stepmother is made to dance at the wedding of Snow White while wearing heated iron or lead shoes until she falls down dead. Hmmmm. Now which do you prefer for Crabbi -- death by paint ball and tazer -- or dancing in heated metal shoes???

Dang it, Paloma! On Friday night I wrote down "Fuego en la Panaderia" as the title for tonight's recap!!
I guess it was too obvious. Either that or great minds think alike. Yes, I like that one better. :-)

I vote for Crabi dancing in the hot metal shoes. It would sort of be like one of my fav Mexican shows of days gone by ''Bailando por un boda de la suenos''...but in a tortured muy harsh way. I'd like to see Crabi dance even without the hot metal shoes. In ''Bailando'' people were always getting injured and wearing neck and back braces. Maybe Crabi and Ferd could be forced to disco till they drop. And Ferd could say, ''Nobody puts Crbi in the corner.'' [Shout out to Patrick Swayze in 'Dirty Dancing.']

I just finished watching tonight's episode. Wow. Can't wait for the recap. Is it me or is Feo setting Crabi up for the fall!!! How about a paint ball-zer gun? When the paint ball hits it also emits a slight...uh, really big charge! Kind of a splat zzzzztttttttttt. On the other hand, if we want to keep it kind of clean we could give Augie a Super Soaker and the taser gun. Just think of all the sparks that would fly from that one!!!
