Fuego, Monday 8/18 (#79): Watching people sleep
Raq hopes her husband doesn't find out about the money she gave Feo. (Really? I thought she was just joking when she offered him a check! What an idiot!!) If he does, she'll make something up. Right now all that matters to her is that he leaves Hacienda St. Agustín and dumps Gabriela! She never wants to see that woman ever again!
Gabi is wondering how she and Feo can continue living together now that they're alone. He has the perfect solution: They'll get married! There's no problem - he'll divorce Sofía. It won't look bad because everybody knows there was nothing between him and Sofía, especially now with her having a baby with some baker. They'll be able to walk down the street and hold their heads high.
Juan, Oscar, and Jimena pray in the hospital chapel for Sofi.
Grandpa and Eva wonder how it's possible that Sofi could have fallen down the stairs when she's never done that before. Eva says Sofi said that she and Gabi had had a difficult conversation and that's why she wasn't paying attention on the stairs and fell. Grandpa still finds it suspicious and is sure Feo was involved in some way.
Well, yes indeedy Feo does have Raquel's check. He admires it in his mirror and gloats to himself about how easy it is to dominate women, especially single women. Gabi will give him everything she owns, same as Raquel. And thanks to the document Grandpa signed, he'll have EVERYTHING!
Gabi admires her neckline in the mirror. She's sure now that Feo loves her. (What is she rubbing on herself? Is that Vicks Vaporub?) She looks at an old family photo and brags to Bernardo that she'll never think about him again because Feo is better than him in EVERY WAY. "It's like you never existed." Don Feonando tan divino!
Grandpa finds Feo chuckling over some documents and wants to know why they're so funny. While Feo tries to think of a good answer, Grandpa snatches them out of Feo's hand and is impactado to see his signature on a power-of-attorney document ceding all control of his interests in the hacienda and his own bank accounts to Feo. Realizing that he was tricked into signing, Grandpa tears up the contract, but Feo has the notarized original hidden away. "Now you are the owner of NOTHING!" He laughs in Grandpa's face.
(If Grandpa searches the room for the original, what are the odds he'll find one of the little notes Bernardo left behind?)
Fuzzy2 brings Sarita back to the convent in Grandpa's motorcycle/sidecar and promises to let her know of any news about Sofía. He tells her he's singing at the Tumbao ("those who have heard me say that I'm not too bad") and asks if she'd like him to sing for her now. "If you want," she answers shyly. He sings for her, and she likes it!
The doctor tells Juan that surgery was successful, but the baby isn't moving, and he's worried that it's already dead. Juan and Mr. & Mrs. Dimples are impactados.
Grandpa threatens legal action (Feo laughs that Grandpa can't afford it). He's going to tell everybody! He's sure that when Gabi finds out... Gabi shows up. She does seem shocked when he tells her that that Feo tricked him into signing a blank page and cheated him out of all of his stuff. However, Feo has a great explanation: he did it for her! (Grandpa's lips are moving, but no sound comes out... I can't read lips... I bet it's good, though.) He tricked Grandpa to make for all the ways he made Gabi miserable. He just did it to give Gabi what's hers. (Note that she doesn't actually have any of it.) It was justice! Gabi is okay with this.
Eva is listening at the door. Grandpa's lips are still moving. Maybe he's praying. He calls Gabi and Feo a couple of hyenas. Before he can leave, however, Gabi has some more news for him: she and Feo are getting married. They smooch yuckily in front of him.
Sofía is asleep, recovering from her surgery. Juan says he doesn't want to lose her. He prays to his mother to help save Sofi and the baby. He flashes back to when his mother was pregnant with Libia, and later after she was born, they sang to her together. Juan sings the same song to Sofi and his own baby.
Sofi's belly glows right through the blanket and a few notes play on the Libia Robles-Reyes Memorial Glockenspiel. The sheet over Sofi's tummy begins to move... indigestion? Or is the baby trying to cover its little ears? Juan keeps singing just to be sure. There's more glowing & glockenspiel.
The doctor can't explain it, but he confirms that it's true: the baby is alive. Juan says it's a miracle of love. He tells unconscious Sofi that he loves her because she's so brave and strong.
Grandpa does not take the news of his daughter's impending nuptials well. He says they're immoral and he's sure they've "understood one another" for a long time. Feo shrugs this off and says they haven't been hurting anyone. (Gabi simpers in his arms like a swoony teen.) He didn't have anything with Sofi and now they're getting married to avoid gossip. He'll ask Sofi for a divorce. Grandpa says then at least one good thing will come out of all this - Feo will be leaving Sofi alone. He presses the point about how happy she is with Juan, who has awakened love in her, "something that you two will never find!"
Grandpa wheels out of there to discuss with Eva, who has overheard the whole thing. Their suspicions about Gabi and Feo are confirmed. Eva says she also heard that Feo took all of Grandpa's things. "Well, that's what he thinks," Grandpa answers smugly. Never bet everything on just one card, he tells her. He's got some extra-secret savings that sucker Feo doesn't know about. But for now he wants Gabi and Feo to go on thinking he's destitute. He'll have a great surprise for them. He who laughs last, laughs best!
Juan tells Mr. & Mrs. Dimples the good news about the miraculously reborn sound-activated baby. They give thanks to Juan and Oscar's mother. Jimena gives thanks to her father; they don't react to the mention of Bernardo. Juan tries to get them to go home. Oscar seems eager to leave for some private time with his new wife, but Jimena insists that they stay with Juan. Oscar only sulks for half a second. Then he joins Juan and Jimena. It looks as though the three of them have crowded together on a little coffee table in the hospital waiting room rather than on any of the more comfortable-looking chairs or sofas.
"Now what?" Gabi asks Feo. He promises to file for divorce tomorrow. She is all over him like a crazy lady on a con artist.
Quintina, Hortensio, Eladio, Rigo, and Pablito wonder how Sofi is doing. They want to see her. Quintina considers making the trip on the motorcycle, but Hortensia reminds her (and us) of the new truck Grandpa got for her after he and Quintina had the accident in her old one. They all decide to go together, except Pedro has to sing tonight at the club, so he'll borrow the motorcycle again and join them later. (Quintina tells him it's not a horse, so careful with the spurs.) This scene is so silly that the director chose to fast-forward some of it for us. Whee!!! Pedro decides to ask Sarita if she'd like to go too.
The Mother Superior (superior to Gabriela in EVERY WAY) reminds Fraulein Sarita that she's free to go out and see Sofía whenever she likes, because it's a convent and not a prison. Again, she does not sing "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," but here comes Pedro... Fuzzy2, do you take requests? I bet he sings it during the commercial. He offers to take Sarita to Puebla after his gig at the Tumbao. The Mother Superior very heartily agrees with this idea. (She doesn't exactly shove Sarita at Pedro, but I think she knows a sign from God when she sees one.)
Rosario is visiting Original Fuzzy to tell him she heard he's been reacting to people and she's feeling lots better herself and hopes he'll keep fighting so that they can run away together. He wiggles his finger in agreement. She's glad to have this sign that he heard her.
Eva excitedly tells Grandpa that Rosendo's going to take them to Puebla right away. They're glad because they're worried about Sofía.
Sarita is at Pedro's show at the Tumbao. Will he sing that mountain-climbing song? No, the song begins "To make you happy, I'm going to get out of your life, and in this letter you'll find my painful poem of farewell." The nun-in-training looks out of place at the table of honor. Benito sees her through in the crowd and glances from her to Pedro and back again with a confused look on his always-confused-looking face.
Raquel gets a letter from her husband. Ricardo's coming home soon! She dreads telling him that the boys didn't marry the Elizondo girls.
However, the next piece of mail is even more disturbing - it's a citation to meet with some lawyers in Puebla to clarify some matters pertaining to Hacienda Uribe. The property's "legitimate owners" have filed a lawsuit!
Bet she's not so worried about telling Big Ricky about the non-weddings now, huh?
At the hospital, Juan pulls Oscar aside to tell him that Grandpa found some paperwork about their property, and he's initiated legal action and promised to support them to the end. But even if he backs out, they'll fight for their land on their own until they get it back.
Crabi and Feo get amorous. Oh, it is hideous. She turns out the light, but I can still see. Feo hesitates and turns the light on. He raises the unsexy question of whether she really wants to marry him? Will she be strong enough to face the disapproval of her daughters? She's much too horny to do much more than promise to disown all of them if necessary to be with him. With this promise, Feo turns off the light and gets back to work.
Juan is mumbling and/or singing against Sofi's belly. She's just conscious enough to have her hand on his head, but her eyes are still shut. Fr. Tadeo shows up - not sure how long it takes to get from Serdan to Puebla by donkey - and prays for them. A tear slides from Sofi's closed eyes as she caresses Juan's forehead.
So now it's a regular family reunion at the hospital. Half the pueblo is there now. They cheer at the good news. Eladio wants them to serenade Sofi; Grandpa reminds them that they're at a hospital. He offers to treat them all to a big meal of mole and whatnot after they talk to Juan. They all cheer him and jokingly warn him not to try to back out of it.
They are surprised that Fr. Tadeo is there too and ask how he got there. He seems confused by the question. Pablito, the cheeky monkey, asks if he came over on the donkey; the padre laughs at the question but doesn't answer! (Grandpa again reminds them that they're in a hospital.)
The padre repeats that Sofi and baby are okay, and says that tomorrow "la dan de alta," which I'm not sure what that means, maybe that she'll be back up to snuff? Oscar wants to see Juan now. The padre tactfully tells him that maybe Juan and Sofi should be alone for now.
Eladio gets loud again, Grandpa shushes him again "or else I'll withdraw my supper invitation." The padre says yeah, the hospital will kick them out, so maybe they should just go eat now. Grandpa looks in his wallet and finds a 50 peso note, which at this moment converts to $4.92 in US money. (Google 50 MXN in USD to get a timely conversion.) I don't know much about restaurant prices in Mexico, but something tells me they'd better find a place that doesn't charge extra for sharing.
Feo recalls Anselmo and later Rosa telling him that Luisito is his child, so he gets out of Gabi's bed in the wee hours of the morning to watch the boy sleep at Grandpa's cottage (it looks like Rosario is staying with him). Feo muses that even though he's his own flesh and blood, he doesn't feel anything for him.
Wait - it's not even dawn yet in Serdan, yet the gang at the hospital is going out for a big mole feast?
Juan watches Sofi sleep and thinks about how a child is the greatest blessing any human being can have, etc. etc. The child will totally change his life. A child is the face of love! Etc.
We're not having our mole yet. Grandpa is telling Tadeo how Feo tricked him out of all his money and property, and Gabi supported Feo. Tadeo doesn't seem surprised and says Feo is capable of anything, but Gabi mustn't go against her own blood.
Grandpa says that's not even the worst of it - but Eva cuts him off before he can tell Tadeo about the wedding bells. She tells him that Gabi tracked her down just to let her know that Rosario isn't her child, and then Eva told that to Sofi, and then Sofi immediately took off for the hacienda. Therefore, she feels guilty. Grandpa also thinks it's impossible that Sofi could have fallen down some stairs she's used all her life (I'm here to tell you it can be done).
From the look on Tadeo's face, Eva and Grandpa realize he knows something. They goad it out of him. He swears them to silence and reveals that Gabi screamed at Sofi that she wasn't her mother. (The look on Eva's face is priceless... actually, it's kind of neutral but I'm going to say it is because it should be.)
Sofía wakes up. Juan tells her the baby's safe. They pray their thanks. "Our love is strong enough to save our child," Sofía sighs.
Next time:
Eva's ready to claim another daughter.
Gabi puts on a white outfit and turns into Bridezilla.
Feo acts like a jerk.
Gabi is wondering how she and Feo can continue living together now that they're alone. He has the perfect solution: They'll get married! There's no problem - he'll divorce Sofía. It won't look bad because everybody knows there was nothing between him and Sofía, especially now with her having a baby with some baker.

Hi, Julie, you are swift and sure tonight! thanks for a great recap!
Man, that Raq Uribe is in trouble bigtime -- her husband Ricardo is coming back -- and the Tweedles aren't married to Las Elizondo, the Hacienda Uribe ownership has been challenged (and clearly has a cloudy title), and Raq has written Feo a big fat cheque that will need an explanation...
...and to top it off, that maldita Crabi gets that Boomerang Feo back!
The glowing baby tummy was toooo muuuchhhh -- now we know for sure it's Juan's baby, and it's definitely related to some battery powered flower in a cave! I wonder what this child is going to look like - maybe wearing a pink bunny suit and banging on a drum??

Yeah I LOL at the crazy lady remark too.
Okay, we get it, the love of Juan & Sofie, is the most awesome force in the entire universe. If science could, they would harness the energy and love of Sofie and Juan would save the entire planet.
Seriously a real love story would be if Sofie lost the baby, could never have another and she and Juan stayed together...but why have a story that could actually happen rather than a glowing superbaby the somehow had it's placenta reattached, maybe due to the radiation factor Sofie actually has a velcro uterus.
In keeping with the magical theme wouldn't you just seriously pay a dollar to see the light glow on the front of Fer's jammies on his wedding night?

The glowing tummy was over the top. I think Sofia is pregnant with tinkerbell.
Sarita in the club in her nun clothes reminded me of "Sister Act" when the nuns followed Whoopi Goldberg into the bar.
Great recap Julie.

Great recap and darned quick considering you had one eye stuck watching the Olympics!
My first thought: with that glowing baby was it was Libia possessing dead Hijo's body. Second thought: all that tinkling was Mama getting her angel wings ala "It's a Wonderful Life". All this ancestor worship stuff is giving me the willies. --So, doesn't the Pope usually get a say about who is made into a saint or not?

Julie: Thanks for the speedy, funny and detailed recap. LOL at Lola's comment that Sofia must be pregnant with Tinkerbell. That was the cheesiest scene ever.
Greetings from lower Ala
Greetings from lower Ala
p.s. only since you asked --"dar de alta" somehow means being released from the hospital. I cannot put my finger on it right now, but somewhere I read that both "Tener que ver" and "entenderse" in the context of a man and a woman both mean having an affair or a sexual relationship of some sort.
Thanks, Jardinera. I found somewhere else that "dar de alta" might be something like "to give the thumbs-up" which would hopefully mean getting out of the hospital.
MHM - your friend is lucky to have someone like you visiting and keeping her updated on this craziness. Even luckier to be protected from having to watch the show. :) I hope she's getting better.
I'm a little worried about how Grandpa's going to manage lunch for a thousand with only 50 pesos.
On the other hand, and in light of the Chili Festival, there is this unfortunate story in which it is claimed that chili pepper deliveries have been the most rejected item from Mexico this year due to various contaminations, even before the salmonella outbreak.
And yet I still crave mole. Go figure. But maybe Grandpa should just take them out for jello instead.

Julie, you've outdone yourself- great and quick recap. Just a couple comments- really goofy scenes- the cheesiest- the double belly-glow that Sofia treated us to. Then, the unanswered question of Pad Tad's travel method to Puebla, and the fast-forwrd at the Reyes castle. i think that maybe they are poking fun at their own production. And what was with Tweedle wagging his head between Peter and la Monja? That didn't make sense to me at all...When did Raqui write Feo a check- did I miss something? The continuity has truly crumbled, it wouldn't surprise me if one of the departed shows up again, not reincarnated, but as a mistake in editing/writing...
I think Tweedle was just trying to figure out if Sarita, who supposedly had such a thing for Franco, now had a thing for Pedro.
Raquel apparently wrote the check on Friday. He went to her place to explain why, after boinking her a few weeks ago, he went back to Crabi. He said it was because he didn't have any money. Raq whipped out the checkbook and said "how much do you want."
I thought she was just being sarcastic, but evidently she actually gave him a check.

Ha ha ha ha!!! Good stuff, Julie! But you lucked out with the glowing uterus scene. It doesn't get any better than that!
Yup, Feo & Crabi are the squickiest couple on TV. Mickey Rourke always skeeved me out but Feo & Crabi take the top spot in that department. I must say, Crabi's lust is amusing...she just can't get enough. EEEWWWWWW!!!!!!
Raqui is in deep do do. Yet another character with severe brain deprivation. I must say, I'm looking forward to meeting her hubby...it could be interesting.
Pad Tad has a flying donkey. Nothing else can explain his speedy travels.

Thanks for the recap Julie. What an episode! I think this one has to take first prize for the cheesiest episode yet. Glowing tummy...must be the radiation again.
If Rosario was staying at Augie's pad why was she still wearing her hospital gown?
Have you ever noticed that nobody actually gets to sit down at Augie's casita. Where is all the furniture.

yeah, Julie, i guess that makes sense on the Tweedle scene...I, too thought that Raqui was being sarcastic, that's why the check in Feo's hand threw me. Maybe I'm better off not watching every episode, the lack of continuity is thoroughly confusing. I know that i shouldn't try to make too much sense of this thing. Thanks for helping clarify...

If people want to sit down at Grandpa's, they'll just have to bring their own wheelchair. ;)
I don't know what's up with Rosario's constant hospital gown. I assume it has something to do with wanting to wear loose clothing until the burns heal.

A nice comfy pair of sweat pants would just fine I think. :-)
How did all those people fit in one truck?

Should we wonder how gramps is going to feed everyone? It will be the 'loaves and fishes' miracle! With the glowing light over the table centerpiece. Can anyone tell me what 'surgery' might have been performed on Sofia? My wife unfortunately had several miscarriages (admittedly some time ago) and I don't recall surgery as an option. It was always wait and pray.It appears that Sarita got some sort of mini restraining order that kept everyone a meter away from her table in that crowded bar. Probably more of mother superior's doing. Thanks again for these recaps. My Spanish is improving gradually. At my nieto's birthday party this past Sunday I got more of the conversation from the bilingual speakers. In my nieta's opinion my accent needs serious work however.

julie - Thank you for the recap. The guys on the rings (olympics) were pretty awesome, weren't they?
Im glad I missed the glowing uterus thing. I would have wanted to throw something at my TV. Our hotel here doesn't get Looneyvision. It gets Galavision, telemundo and something else whose logo I don't recognize, but no Looneyvision. Hey.... This is a classy place. LOL
Feo is amazing, isn't he? Two AARP members both hot for him, wanting to jump his bones on a regular basis. He must be a .. very ... good ... kisser.... Buahaha

I didn't think Raquel gave him a check. I thought she was just calling his bluff. It looks like she gave it to him though. What an idiot! ;-)
I don't know if it is surgery, but when the baby dies in the womb, it has to be removed, maybe they give you something or surgery, but the baby can't just be left there and young "Lazerus" was apparently dead (yeah, so said the so called specialist), but it was probably true cause I saw the glowing light and then the good machine readings.
Oh yeah the hospital scene and every Reyes hospital scene reminds me of the rich vs poor question that is always on the Guapos forum..No it is a class issue, even Gramps seemed a bit taken aback at the hospital behavior. These people are all such serious Rubes.

The surgery was actually before the baby was pronounced probably-dead. I think that was intended to save Sofi, not the baby. They said she had an abdominal contusion (a tummy bruise) so maybe it had something to do with relieving internal pressure from fluids and swelling.
Doris, I bet that extra channel you have is Telefutura. If so, around 7:30 is Que Dice La Gente, aka Family Feud. I love the host. I don't get it locally, but sometimes I have my mother tape it for me.

If the woman keeps losing viable fetuses they can sew shut the opening of the uterus.They unstitch it after a certain amount of time has passed.If that were the case, they would have had her flat on her back with her lower torso a bit elevated in the dispensary.What an amazing specialist to catch that problem on a first pregnancy.I guess I was not alone in wondering if the Cerdanos practice some kind of Shintoism.Why the Virgencitas? Why not just tack up a family photo with candles? mhm

Do we really think that Slofia's surgery had anything to do with anything?? She wasn't showing, she wasn't feeling any flutters & from what little I saw of the fall down the stairs, it's even hard to imagine a bruise (well, maybe from hitting Juan's massive shoulders). So my guess is that it was just a tortured plot device, to wring tears out of every cast member (except Crabi & Feo).
Maybe Adela was tired & didn't want to stand up on the set any more. "Give me a hospital scene...my feet are killing me!"
Maggie
;-O

When Raquel realizes Feo's duped her, maybe she could stop payment on the check. Although they probably don't have that option in this town.
I wonder if Benito is starting to get attracted to Sarita. Especially in that fetching nun's outfit...
When Juan put his hands on Sofia's belly to get the baby to move, I don't know why I kept hearing "Use the force, use the force".

Abuelo P -- The hospital hot-glued the velcro that came loose back in place in her uterus. Then they re-stuck the glowing battery baby back on so it wouldn't fall out. Bebe must have needed a short time to recharge, but once it did, the glowing started right back up!!
Those Puebla specialists are Good!!

The good thing in all this.If the baby has any lingering brain damage, no one will notice.
Anyone else creeped out by Fernando's proximity to the sleeping maid/babysitter?

Maybe Juan was kneeding the belly and now the baby will be born with a strange S on its forehead,
Wait is that an S or a Snake..leading to a who the Daddy drawn out for months. Also maybe Fer & Crabs can steal some of Sofies eggs, and then thru the wonder of science Crabs can bear Fer a spawn...
Also about Young Juan vs Adult Juan..hey the young gypsy lad has huge gaps between his teeth, now then how did Juan get such perfect nice shiny white all uniform teeth?
Is the some of the radiation actually radioactive Fluoride?

I'm just hoping the baby doesn't come out looking like some crazy Umpa Lumpa with purple hair because of all the nuclear waste.
Julie, thanks for a great recap, I was LOL! To many great lines in this one. Also, thanks for including the Feo Acts Like A Jerk. Always makes me laugh, and if it is shown on a preview or not, it will always happen!
Julie, thanks for the wonderful recap and I would like to acknowledge your sacrifice when you would rather have been watching volleyball or some other scintillating Olympic feats. Watching People Sleep is a great title for the scenes where virtually everyone had someone asleep in the same room or only one away. PaddyTad looked grateful to be able to spill some beans that were not planted in the confessional. Julie, you had so many fine lines the crazy lady, the glowing and glockenspiel song.
I was bothered by the preadolescent Juan's spaced teeth too, Beckster. It looks like an oblique ad for Mexican Dentists that people love even here in Albuquerque. Juan as poster child gets a great set of teeth after a childhood of spaces!
I have high hopes for Raquel's husband showing up and having lethal fits about all this. I also have high hopes that he is somehow entangled with Gabi over more evil doings to send both of them down the hill in front of multiple pie carts with big steel wheels.
D.Dave I do also agree that the writers are having fun with the ET imagery and who mentioned the glow baby needing quiet time to recharge it's little batteries. This show is such fun and bringing out many, many creative comments from you jokers out there in CarayCaray land.
I am just hoping that I don't have to redescribe too many yuck scenes with Gabi/Feo entwined. I am battling the effects of poison ivy in real life so that scene will really make my skin crawl again. And don't let Feo do something hateful to little Luisito. Wake up Rosario, there's a monster staring at your kid!

Thanks Julie for sacrificing the watching of tightly-garbed Olympic gymnastic men to bring us this great recap! Too many great great asides to mention!
I was thinking battery-operated remote control rubber fetus, when all the glowing and multiple sound effects were going on.
Also: early in the show when Crabi grabbed up the old family portrait, I noticed there were 4 people in the pic: Grandpa, Bernardo, Sarita and Jimena (as adults). Hmmm, any ideas why Sofia was missing...
"Creemelo"

It could be that Snofia was locked up somewhere in the dungeon only being allowed to eat a tortilla (with a fork no less) and drink water desperately waiting for the aliens on the mother ship to beam down and save her. When they did not save her she took the small bottle that the Elf Queen had given her containing some kind of a glowing substance and poured it on the lock and escaped....or maybe not! :-}
Great recap, Julie. Especially appreciated the snark about the glowing belly, nuclear waste kid.
Yikes, I've got an awful feeling they're going to wait until the last freakin' week to tell us Sofía's parentage.

The "Feo acts like a jerk" started out as placeholder text in the little Wordpad document I use to compose my recaps. After watching the next day's preview I would replace it with what was actually in the avance.
One day the avance showed nothing of interest (i.e. even less than usual), so I just left "Feo acts like a jerk" as-is, knowing it was a sure thing.
(Last Thursday it became "Sara acts like a jerk" for the QE recap.)
I also have a placeholder title, so if you ever see a recap titled "apply directly to the forehead" you'll know I forgot to change it.

Julie, you are to funny! I think "apply directly to the forehead" could work for some of these! Feo acts like a jerk is perfect and always makes me laugh. Did you ever see Hotel New Hampshire? The dead dog kept reappearing and everytime I read the Feo like I think "and Sorrow floats". Very random, but makes me laugh.
