Fuego en la Sangre #75, Tuesday, August 12, 2008, It's the Eye of the Storm
Hey everyone, Bridget here, your substitute recapper for this evenings FelS. If all goes well maybe I'll be considered as a permit recapper for newer shows. Thanks for the opportunity!
We find our poet Quintina cheering on Juan and Sophia sitting down for a family dinner with Pablito. It seems like its a full moon out with everyone making whoopee. As Jimena acts indifferent to Oscar's advances he decides to stand in front of the balcony windows in speedos as tight as rubber bands. Back at the Reyes house Juan and Sophia swear up and down, in the name of love, in the name their unborn, that nothing will separate them. I pinky swear... but we all know, never say never.
Looks like the Tumbao has changed their target demographic with their new main attraction ... Pedro Reyes! Benito seems overly ecstatic with tonight's turnout. After a night of loving we see Juan demanding that Franco wake up from his coma. They've found their lands, their home and they need him because they can't do anything without him. Wake up Franco, wake up blasted. (I still waiting for Juan to shatter that wooden rocking horse with all this testosterone!)
In the jungle, the mighty jungle Gramps is retelling the tragic tale of the Reyes brothers to Eva. He mentioned the new mystery of how Gabby and Raquel acquired the Reyes' land. Gramps has questioned Eva (again) why did the Reyes brothers showed up at Hacienda completely armed the first day they met them? Of course Eva is fumbling and can't say why and that Gramps is going to have to ask the boys himself. But soon all will be revealed.
Back at the cave we find Juan and Libia enjoying some brother sister bonding. Libia in her coffin and Juan lying in the dirt next to her (shouldn't it be smelling by now?). Juan is remembering the good times and the bad and how he gave her their mother's medallion. He asking Libia to please protect Franco and to confirm that Franco is going to be ok. (Of course he is Juan! The glowing flower is telling us so!). Glow flower glow! Libia has "spoken". After this little heart to heart Juan decides to go skinny dipping in the nearby river.
At the hacienda Gabby is looking through her scrapbook of Sophia. Of course she's also plotting against revenge her and the Reyes brothers. I'm not sure how revealing Sophia origin is going to somehow damage the Reyes. We'll see.
Ofelia and Rosario are worried about what Feo is going to do once he gets out of jail. (Ok obviously this is novela-land but wouldn't it have made more sense to say yes Feo is this horrible person, etc. and have him rot in jail!?). At the same time Feo is being discharged and is told that CSI: Puebla has confirmed that the gun he used to kill Anselmo also had Anselmo's fingerprints. Therefore it is confirmed that Feo acted in self-defense. (In all my years of Law and Order episode training I know that isn't going to hold up in court). Regardless Feo is free and reading between the lines it seems like the Commisario is telling Feo he did them all a favor by killing Anselmo.
Grandpa has laid down the law that Feo is not to return to the hacienda. Visibly upset Gabby tells gramps that Feo has been gone a while and he wouldn't be coming back to the hacienda. Grandpa gets the feeling there's more than beats the eye between Gabby and Feo and tells her so. But instead of answering Grandpa's questions, Gabby decides to leave the room "offended" that her father is questioning her motives.
Feo has returned to the Bad Love Bar only to find Armando with Feo's hat on and sitting in his chair. I'm waiting for Armando's traditional beating along with the ever popular "ripping Armando's wig off". But there's no slapping around by Feo today so the wig stays in place. Feo is informed that once again the bar is in trouble now that the Tumbao has a new act... Pedro Reyes. Darn those Reyes!
Wow, Feo's got game with the geezer dames. At the Uribe household Feo has convinced Raqui that he only has eyes for her. He can't stand Gabriela and is in love with Raquel. Falling for the trap, Feo manages to get Raqui and her stylish purple wig into bed. After a fantastic 30 seconds of loving, Raqui has promised Feo anything he wants as long as he doesn't leave her. Between the loving we see a short clip of Padre Tadeo begging for mercy ... (yes please because I'm about to wash my eyes with bleach after that love making scene.)
Gabby continues to torment Oscar on the manners of being a "educated" man while Jimena's smiling like a nitwit. Feo has just arrived at the Dispensario to check in on Rosario. He tells her that just because Luisito is his son not to expect him to change or treat her differently. He will to continue to treat her the same (or worse) if she provokes him. As he's choking Rosario, Sophia has chosen this moment to stop by with Juan. Feo manages to compose himself explaining that he killed Anselmo in self defense and to protect Rosario and Luisito. Rosario confirms that this is true. After Feo leaves, Juan asked Rosario again if Feo is the man who torments her. Rosario doesn't answer right away. But she eventually denies it and says how Feo did her the favor regarding Anselmo.
Back Ms. Gabby Charm School Oscar has finally took a stand against her but she reminds him that she's showing him how to be "gente decent" (upper class I assume). Juan is explaining to Sophia that Feo has a hold over Rosario and Sophia has to find out what that hold is. Rosario will have to tell her the truth and if it is Feo who is tormenting her then Sophia will have a talk with Feo (I'm rolling my eyes at this point). No, me man you woman...Juan will be the one to talk to Feo. Its time for deep thoughts with Juan as he and Sophia return to the bakery. Looks like the only way to get the brain ticking is by baking some bread. How is he going to get those lands back? By the marching theme music (equipped with a boing) it can only mean one person... Don Augustine!
Mr. August is already on the case and is asking help from his old friend Aragon. As the tale of the Reyes/Robles/Reyes story retold (not completely) to Aragon, Aragon will figure it out and report back with any information. Feo has returned to the Hacienda for the rest of his things. Gabby assumes Feo is back for good but no. Feo has agreed to return to the Hacienda with the promise that Gabby will not reproach him about anything. As Feo and Gabby are making out in the foyer when Oscar walks in spies on this endearing moment. Oscar is lapping up this whole scene.
Ofelia and Rosario discuss the evilness that makes up Fernando. That even with the news of his son, Fernando was not moved. Fernando has confirmed what we've all known...all women (at least in this novella) are stupid and how they bend with the simplest sweetness he has given them. Now he has Gabby under his control. As he places money in his safe, he pulls out Libia's necklace. Believing that since he killed Libia his luck has changed for the better. Oscar has entered Feo's room as Feo reminisces. Feo doesn't see him but unfortunately Gabby catches Oscar as he exits the Feo's room.
Tomorrow: Eva is planning to "compensar" Rosario, Gabby plants the seed doubt, and a startling confession from Gabby...Sophia is Eva's daughter! Sophia and the baby are in danger.

Feo,Feo, Feo! I'm going to have to report him to AARP for molesting 2 women over 50 years old.
Is he a dog or what!
And the truth is finally out. Sofia, you are not a Elizondo.
And Gabi, you are really BUSTED this time!

Bridget- fine recap for first time! Bienvenidos to my breakfast desk. No time for a comment, but had to extend the welcome...Thank you...dd
Great recap, Bridget.
I hadn't watched for a few days, so I found much to laugh at. The Dispensario: How's that for cheap scenery: find an old building and hang a sheet on it with the word "Dispensario" painted on. There was Oscar in the Speedo, topped by Juan ecstatically riding the rapids, and Raquel, who has exchanged her orange wig (from Fea) for a purple one.

Great recap, Bridget, and thank you for doing it!
I guess Ofi and Rosi just knew Feo would get out of jail....
Nice to see Pedro P. Luche still singing at the Tumbao. I still predict (NOT a spoiler because I really don't know) that he & Rosario will take off together.
What's up with the Lonely Geezer Women in that area? Raqi, Crabi, etc. I was worried that Raquel's wig would come off during that bedroom scene. ;-)
Gabi is trying to cut off Oscar's you-know-whats and he looks like he's ready to bolt from the hacienda, but wait!, after spying Feo at the safe, and later snogging Crabi, methinks he'll stick around a little longer to investigate.
And we have to all admit, Oscar is a nice, polite guy but his table manners are lacking. He was raised by wolves. Too bad Crabi is so ugly about teaching him etiquette.
So in the promos, Crabi sez Sofia is Eva's child. Then why was Crabi mumbling about her 'blood' when she torched the bakery??? Monkey writers??? And does
Crabi install the trip wire on the stairs? Who else would do her dirty work for her.....

Great recap Bridget. Welcome! Why do these women fall for Feo? He's gross. He's like a Vegas Lounge Lizard and gives me the creeps. I feel sorry for Oscar. I don't know how he can even eat at the same table with Crabi. He looked like he wanted to strangle her with his napkin. (Or maybe that was just wishful thinking on my part...)
Did Oscar get a glimpse of the locket? It was hard to tell for sure.

connie - I don't think he saw the locket. I was hoping he would.
Did anyone catch that comment Raquel made to Feo, 'you know what my husband is like.' So Feo actually KNOWS this MIA hubby of Raquel's..... More possible proof they were both at the scene of the crime.

Oh, there was also that sheriff guy with the muttonchop/mustache unibrow equivalent worthy of a Civil War reenactor. At least Sofia has shed her Big Valley costumes for something a little more modern.
Feo's quite the "entreprenuer", working both Gabi and Raquel - he really doesn't need another job, does he? I presume the wad of cash he put in the safe came from Raquel plus Gabi has now told him everything she has is his - whatta guy!

Great work, Bridget!
Ay!!! I didn't get very far in this recap before I realized I haven't seen this yet. I am going to need to see some of this with my own eyes (covered by my hands at certain moments).
Yeah, this whole "blood" (as in "relatedness") thing is very confusing. I think Crabi is bluffing, at best, about Sofi being Eva's daughter. (Yes, I know, it's shocking that she would lie about something.)
The best explanation I can think of, that would reconcile all of Gabi's confusing talk about Sofi being her blood (the night of the fire and on other occasions), other times saying in a surprised tone "it's as if you're not even my daughter," and now claiming she's Eva's daughter suggests to me that GABI DOESN'T REALLY KNOW.
I wonder if the secret between her and Raquel was some BLIND babyswap. Like there was Gabi's baby and Eva's baby, Raq wanted one but couldn't have one of her own, Gabi thought she gave Eva's child to Raq, but now she thinks they got switched.
But she hasn't met Ruth yet. After meeting her, she may be grateful that Sofia's hers...
(All speculation on my part... this is way too intriguing... I don't want to know anything before its time!)

I think that if Oscar had seen the locket, Feo would be dead now. None of the Reyes boys are known for good impulse control.
Seeing Oscar and Jimena's funny foreplay again last night had me ROTFL again! And watching what goes on at the dinner table, I get how Jimena and Sarita stay so thin-- how can anyone eat when Momzilla's constantly harping on your table manners?
I know this show's over the top silly and heavy handed with the melodrama, but I still catch it every night if I can or record it when I can't because it's just so nice not have to use up precious brain cells after a hard day of work. Thank you recappers and bloggers for making this such a pleasure to share.

I think you are right Julie about the locket. If Oscar had seen it there would have been a big "ta da" moment with goofy sound effects and everything. Plus Feo would be dead.
Thanks for the recap Bridget. It was painful watching Gaby go all 'Miss Manners' over Oscar, the painful part being that 'I know he's a diamond in the rough but I can change him and mama can help me' look on Jimena's face. Aaaaagh. This relationship is doomed! Doomed I tell you!! Ninak - the comisario's mustache/beard thing is a little newer than the Civil War. I recall the ship captain that captured Bogey and Hepburn in the African Queen sporting similar facial shrubbery. That film was set at the time of WWI.

Great job, Bridget! Loved the "30 seconds of loving" comment & you're right--Jimena does look like a smiling nitwit as Crabi emasculates Oscar at the dinner table. Yeesh! I was hoping he'd dump the soup on Mommy Dearest.
Feo is the Scum King, isn't he? And watching Crabi cling to him & sob is just repulsive. Raqui is just as blind & stupid as Crabi but I guess good (?) lovin' is in short supply at the Pueblo de Nuke Dump.
I have to say, the lovemaking amongst all the various couples leaves me cold. Oscar & Jimena are kinda cute but the whole let's-live-with-Momma routine is annoying. Juan & Snofia? YAWN! They just don't have it going at all. And Feo with _____________ (insert name here) makes me want to hurl & then get some Lysol. I know, I know...Pasion had TBLMOE but I think the audience was truly sympathetic with the protagonists & turned on by the love scenes. This TN is a poor follow-up.
:-(
But it is good for many, many laughs! If I were going to host a PELs party, I'd invite Quintina, Abuelo, Oscar, Pad Tad and the horses. Q is always laughing, A has some great alter egos, O has 1/2 a brain & a sense of humor, PT has a whole brain & the horses are just plain gorgeous.
One more snark: why does Juan always look pained when he tries to think? Is it really that much work??

Juan is a bear of very little brain. I mean, I think he's supposed to be the sweet-but-dumb one. He even reminds me of Conan in "Conan the Destroyer" (the silly one where he was supposed to transport a virgin princess).
I really prefer smart protagonists, but that's why we have Franco, the Intellectual Brother.
I think they're just setting us up for a big surprise when he does something really smart in the very last episode. :)

LOL, Lola - "I'm going to have to report him to the AARP" - if we had a commenters' Quote of the Week, I think that would be it. :)
I too felt bad for Oscar.However , if this were real life (ha ha) the exercise in self control would do him good.Gabriela is intentionally being horrible. It is her goal to drive him away . I think he and Jimena are a good pair.I think the two of them are thinking ahead. "This unwell crabby b#*^h can't live forever."Here's hoping that Jimena makes it up to him.On second thought, after spotting her and her SIL ,when Gabriela says something to him about "decent folk" don't sneak around he may have a few things to say.mhm

Great recap, Bridget! I loved the line "Feo's got game with the geezer dames"!
I was happy to see someone (Aragon?) finally mention looking up the deed registration or something like that to solve the land swap mystery. I'm not sure asking Gabi, Raquel, or even Raquel's husband is going to get any good answers.
I think sheriff muttonchop keeps this look to get work. I'm pretty sure he was an army guy in Amor Real, which was set in the 1800's.

Julie: LOL! Franco the Intellectual Brother? Well, he is wise by taking his sweet time waking up from his coma. What's the rush? He'd only to listen to the same rehash we get every night. Maybe he'll stay peacefully asleep until all of the mayhem & chaos are resolved in October. This way, he doesn't have to work at the E Coli Bakery or listen to Juan's ranting (right now, he only gets it when Juan visits but at home, it's morning, noon & night) or try to decide between Boobs of Steel or Sr. BitchALot.

True, Maggie. If he stays in the coma long enough, the women will move on with new men and he'll be spared a lot of drama.
I wasn't joking about Franco being the Intellectual. It's in the official plot synopsis that was posted on Esmas. He used to carry a book around to remind us. :)

Incidentally, Oscar is supposed to be the Fun-Loving One. But do you see him carrying around a pinata to signal that? No. You shouldn't need props to convey this stuff.
It'd be helpful if the writing on this show had supported the intended characterizations. IMO Oscar has been coming across as the smartest and most insightful one, while Franco was the one hanging out in a bar every night (swooning over Rosario).

As they say, you can't judge a book by its cover...nor its carrier!!
I think the writing staff may have fallen into a vat of nuclear waste--character description inconsistencies are only the start! Nothing makes much sense.
Either that or they've been tapping into Destilando Amor's tainted tequila.

Thanks , Bridget. Julie ***HA..I would like to see Oscar carrying around a colorful pinata as a sign that he is the brother who is all about the sexy fun. And, what does Juan carry around???...Sofia....to signify that this hermano is all about the concept of eternal love. You've got to admit that Ferd is a quick learner....once he successfully seduced Crabby and made her his devoted loveslave, he seemed to realize that putting the moves on the more mature residents of Brigadoon was so much easier than stalking, drugging, threatening , and raping the young chicks. Now , that he has won over Raquel will he try his charms on Eva???..Ofelia???? The sky is the limit now that he's found his demographic.

Creemelo*** About Donna Summer's ''Love to Love You''....maybe this will help...Donna does a lot of moaning on that song...''Ewwwwww...Love to love you, Baby...Ewwwwww....Love to love you , Baby ...'' Does that ring a bell ???? It has a strong, driving beat...very disco.

Hello all! Went away for a long weekend and totally had Fuego withdrawls. Although I was so relieved to see that Franco has yet to move, wouldn't want to miss anything. Jeez, don't they worry about what is going on with him? I'm not so sure the tarp is helping him.
Anyway, tonight I should be all caught up but I just finished Friday and Monday and had a thought.
Didn't something also happen to Feo's parents and weren't they once wealthy? We know in the murder scene there is a guy with a snake belt. So what if he was working with Uribe and then was double crossed? Although Feo should die a firey painful death, I wonder if we will get more back story on him also?
The CSI swinging comment made me think of the Vegas episode with the Furies! Maybe they were swingers who never saw anyones face!

Thanks to Bridget for subbing and to all our great recappers who keep me in the loop now that I only watch the commercials for this one =)
I'm behind on the comments again (will probably catch up next week). Just wanted to mention to La Paloma, from August 7th, that mother superior is played by Elsa Cardenas, who looks pretty good for 73! She was recently in a couple of episodes of Guapos as the wife of the guy who sold Al some land after a disastrous dinner party with Mili. If you want to see her in her younger days, she was in an Elvis Presley movie back in the 60s called "Fun in Acapulco" as a woman who laments bringing her convertible instead of her station wagon to a make-out session with our hero (cue cheesy porn music).

Bridget ..... what an enjoyable and amusing recap. Thanks for the fun.

I don't know about you all but I was very disappointed in the "Juan skinny dipping in the magic waterfall" scene. We didn't get to see a thing....Darn... :)
Margarita, once again, I am amazed at your ability to recall details about these shows. I would never have remembered the cross-casting from that really obscure scene in Guapos!
connie - I had the same exact sentiments when I saw that scene. ;-)

Thanks for the recap, Bridget. Loved the poetry of "Feo's got game with the geezer dames". Also like the image of Oscar toting around a pinata. (Or was that Jimena he was toting?)
And thanks, Margarita for the info on Mother Superior. Now I'm going to have to look for the next showing of "Fun in Acapulco".
This TN is completely unhinged and totally washed in Serdanite. Love all the comments.

Thank you for a good recap Bridget, and many happy returns.
Monkey writers indeed! It must be what's happening, there are so many details that go back and forth and keep our head spinning e.g., -- is Sofia really Eva's daughter, or is she really Crabi's daughter. If Eva's daughter, she's still an Elizondo because of Bernardo. If Crabi's daughter -- is Bernardo Sofia's father? Hmmmm
And has anybody else noticed that it's ALWAYS a Full Moon or it's a No Moon --in this land that time forgot?

Bridget: smart 'n snarky, thanks! great job.
MadBuns: I do vaguely remember the 70's tho' living overseas at the time, that Donna Summers tune rings a bell. I'll listen for it next time the BadLove opens up.
Connie: Franco's not wearing a diaper, it's a GIANT tighty-whitey.
BTW, how old is Luisito supposed to be? Anyone notice him eating a piece of dry white bread and a BIB to catch the crumbs?
Cheers, "Creemelo"

Oh I almost forgot...I loved the "ever popular sport of ripping off Armando's wig". Everybody does it, I feel kinda sorry for the guy. Maybe he should tape it to his chest where it will be safe.

Yes, Creemelo, poor Luisito tried to eat the bread (cookie?) from the ends and then, for some reason, from the middle which caused it to fall apart. He's still in the experimenting stage, it seems.

Creemelo, if Armando taped his wig to his chest, he could pass for a Reyes hermano baker, too!

Excellent job Bridget! You are a fine recapper, I would never have guessed this was your first recap.
Bridget! I just got back to town to read the recaps and I am so impressed with your abilities and fun style. You are a natural and I do hope you can sub and keep with us until a permanent spot opens. Your writing conveys your enjoyment. What a great job you did.
Thank you so much for taking this night for me. Willa and I had a great time in Wyoming and Colorado. I watched most of the nights but couldn't catch Friday.
