Fuego, Wed., Aug. 27: There's nothin' more fickle than a Fernie.
Buenas noches a todos.
First, I want to thank everyone for the support you have shown me as a recapper and a student. You are all such good friends. That’s why I have decided not to completely abandon the Wednesday-night time-slot until I find a long-term substitute (Not that I would ever leave you without a recap, or that someone could ever replace me!).
The show must go on…!
So we start tonight with some scary sisters (twins?/Barrera de Amor?) talking to Padre Tadeo. Juan and Sofia stop by with some flower arrangements, if you can call a bunch of weeds an arrangement. Tadeo tells the two lovers to enjoy the fruits of their prohibited love, and, by-the-bye, Gabi has started a charitable foundation. Sofia doesn’t seem to like the sound of that.
Sarita is strolling through the park as she encounters Rosario. Notice how Rosario is always wearing a winter coat in southern Mexico. Anyway, she tells Sarita, who has updated her wardrobe to the twentieth century, that she no longer loves Franco because she realized how much Sarita loves him. If only all novela characters could be so humble (that’s no reference to her physical appearance) and selfless.
Fernie runs into Pedro at the Tumbao and offers him double the money to sing in Fernie’s fine drinking establishment. No way! Pedro doesn’t work for loonies like Fernie. Why is that scary Coyote guy staring at Fernie? Who knows, but in other news, Fernie struts on over to Benito and makes an offer to buy the Tumbao. Fernie mentions that if he doesn’t comply, there will be people who can hurt him.
Raquel is drunk, and confused, and wants to know where those darn land documents are. She asks how her family ever obtained their land in the first place. Then, in a fit of rage and, presumably more confusion, she goes to the cupboard and pulls-out the evidence that supposedly could convict Fernie of rape three times over.
Juan is having his own little fit; coincidentally it concerns those same Uribe/Robles-Reyes lands. After proposing to mindlessly follow his whims, Juan stops to allow Frankie to speak. Frankie, whose quantity of brain matter is questionable, proposes consulting with Ricardo to see what legal matters can be executed in the rightful usurpation of their “original and rightful lands.” Juan capitalizes on this idea and goes as far as to say that in doing so they will find their parents’ killers—even if it means that Gabi is the culprit.
Gramps makes a humble, but noble plea to talk to his only daughter with tranquility and frankness. At first she refuses but then concedes. He solemnly tells her that she is about to make one of the biggest mistakes of her life. Comment: considering she killed her mother, stole Eva’s baby, physically and mentally tortured her daughters, slept with her son-in-law, and plotted to kill her daughter, I doubt this is the biggest mistake of her god-forsaken life. Anyway, he warns that Fernie is only going to bring unhappiness and disgrace. She doesn’t understand why everyone hates her, and she stomps off in her superior way. In walks Fernie, who assures Gramps that he sincerely and whole-heartedly loves Gabi and will do anything (to get his hands on her money and backside) to protect her.
Over at Reyes Central, Juan has a secret to tell his brothers. It’s about their long-forgotten parents; they only fought one time. Isn’t it curious that Juan initially possessed one solitary memory of his parents, but as the show continues he accumulates more memories? Anyway, Daddy Robles-Reyes came home late one night with the smell of the devil on his breath (my words, though they are probably true), and Mommy Robles-Reyes was so upset that she threw all his things into the street. How is this relevant? Then Juan and Daddy R-R went to talk by the tree of memories. There Daddy R-R told little Juan that one day he would meet a beautiful woman whom he would love forever. “Ya’ know son, women are like plantation fields; first you have to break ‘em in to show ‘em who’s boss, then you have to provide for them by feeding and watering them. Remember son, you will be a man of only one woman, just like me and mommy.” Somehow I think Daddy R-R forgot to lecture little Frankie on this subject. Though something tells me that Daddy R-R wasn’t as sharp as the ho he was using on his woman, I mean, field. And then the tear-stained memories fade out… Juan hopes that those memories somehow serve his brothers…they obviously didn’t.
Gabi seems to be entertaining a notary gentleman. She has decided to change her will; she wants to name Fernie as her sole heir. Nope. The notary has something to say: Before Bernie died he made Sofia the sole heiress of his fortune. Wait a minute. Now, in every other novela when someone dies they make sure to commit at least one entire episode to a testament reading (Rubi, Al Diablo con los Guapos, etc.). Why is this subject arising now?
Juan has had a dream in which he remembers his parents’ killer wearing a snake belt. Where have we seen that before? Too many people, too may places.
Frankie is sharing a nice, moonlit walk with Pedro. Frankie admits that he is worried about Juan always taking care of them. Uh oh. They run into Armando and his drunken friends. They are mad that Frankie is going to end up with Rosario. Armando warns him that she likes tall, rich, and powerful men. Somehow I doubt Frankie will measure up (no pun intended). The inevitable happens, Armando offends Rosario and Frankie punches him out, followed by the third parties punching each other, etc. This time Armando pulls a gun, but is stopped when the ubiquitous Coyote magically appears with even bigger guns and threatens to kill anyone who messes with Pedro. Oh, the irony!
Juan puts on his rain gear and goes out to the tree of memories. He tells his father that very soon he will be able to rest in peace. He gives some Destilando-esque speech about brotherly love and re-conquering lands, throws in a few “I swear on mom’s and your lives, and ends with a screaming oath of brotherhood.
Gabi can not believe that Bernie changed the will, and blames the notary for not informing her about the change. Apparently Bernie specified that Sofia can only have access to the fortune when she has a child.
Soaking wet and in a trance, Juan stares down Sofia and promises to obtain those lands so that they can have a beautiful family and life together.
Gabi goes for the whiskey as she tells Fernie that she can not believe that Bernie changed the will and that Sofia will inherit the fortune. Fernie tells her that he will not divorce Sofia until he knows for sure that he will be able to marry Gabi. There is nothing more Fickle than a Fernie… He claims that he doesn’t want Sofia to divorce him then marry Juan, who will then inherit the ranch. Gabi, of course, sees things his way, and decides that they must scheme to resolve this mess.
So we find out that Coyote works for a guy named “El Jefe.” Coyote tells Jeff (I like Jeff better) that he is going to teach Fernie a lesson about following through with instructions, especially when it comes to Pedro Reyes.
Speaking of old Pedro, he runs into Rosario at the market. Seems like he has moved on from Sarita and now has a thing for Rosie. This is perfect for our perfect novela; Rosie is out of Frankie’s way and Pedro is out of Sarita’s way. Marriage, here we come!
Sofia congratulates Eva on her moving into a small house with Rosario. She then asks her why her mommy doesn’t love her, refuses her, and, not to mention, tries to kill her. Sofia thinks that Gabi says she isn’t her mother because Sofia makes her upset. Honey, all I can say is good luck.
Armando is reporting to Fernie that Coyote paid them a visit last night. Fernie is distressed and wants to know what his intentions could be. Whattaya know? The Coyote storms in and repeats what he said last night. Fernie wants to know why Coyote likes Pedro. No answer, just a threat to be very careful—or else.
Benito is asking that maid/waitress to marry him. She refuses him for the umpteenth time, and he leaves, trying to forget about her. The girl thinks to herself that the two of them are like oil and water. Why don’t you try articulating that instead of standing there with that stupid countenance, sweetheart?
Sarita is actually socializing, and exposing her chest. And I thought this day would never come… She is riding with Franco, talking about forgetting Rosario, and wanting to be friends with benefits. She proposes a race. We all know how this is going to end…
Rosario informs Fernie that she is packing her things, and is going to live with Eva, Ofelia, and Luisito in a stable home environment. Those are fightin’ words. Fernie tells her that she isn’t going anywhere, she threatens to call the authorities, and he offers to buy a house for her as long as she stays on the pay roll.
Quinti is in the kitchen on a mission. She brought a special message from Gramps, who wants Oscar to go to his house tonight without anyone finding out. By the way, did anyone see Quinti in “Frida” on Sunday? What a movie…
Juan tells Sofia that he swore to obtain those very important lands for the posterity of their family. He is upset that Gabi is involved in this mess. Sofia offers her support, and tells him to never doubt that she is with him. We all have this speech memorized; I won’t recap it for what seems to be the fiftieth time.
Gramps takes Oscar on a special mission to Gabi’s office. Gramps suspects that there is very important information in the desk drawer that can convict Fernie of something. Notice how everything Fernie touches is proclaimed evidence that will convict him. Oscar opens the drawer with a pencil and pulls out the documents. Uh oh. Gabi is coming. Gramps leaves to create a diversion. On his way out the window, Oscar bumps the painting of Bernie to find a letter. He snatches it and dives out the window. The painting sways, the curtain blows, Gabi yells “Fatima…”
Tomorrow: Gabi is anguished that Sofia has been named the sole heiress. She has to do something about it, so she has Fernie poison her. Oscar found a letter that deals with Fernie being a rapist. It will be crucial! Everything with Univision is crucial, explosive, of surprising…

Nico - thank you for the great recap and thank you for hanging in there with us. I won't get to watch my tape of FELS until tomorrow, so now I'll know what to pay attention to.... can't wait to see what damning evidence Raquel pulls out of the cupboard.
How very odd that Bernardo only named Sofia and not his other daughters as heirs.
So Oscar found one of the famous hidden letters written by Bernardo! I was just thinking about those the other day, wondering if the writers had forgotten them.
Looking forward to watching my tape tomorrow . . .

Great recap. You are so right about Eugenia. Folks, People in Espanol has EY on the cover and an article about Diana Bracho.Apparently, she is the niece of Delores Del Rio.
I am now guessing that Jeff is the missing Reyes Uncle.mhm

Nicolás thanks for the funny and surprisingly rapidly posted recap. NewMex is on Mountain time so it is amazing to see this posted so quickly here too like Dave says about the left coast.
Anyway, the subplot of Juan's illiteracy/idiocy continues apace. And Coyote continues to drive his SUV up out of holes to be everywhere you want him to be. He helps illustrate what a small time punk FeoFernie really is. FF seems really concerned that Ricardo Uribe is back and we know he is afraid of El Jefe from those unpaid debt scenes earlier in the show. It is interesting that Armando referenced Rosario's tour with El Jefe since we never saw EJ or had any impression from Rosario of what she thought of him. I didn't get the idea that he was mean or nasty to her. In fact, it seems to have been a bit of a holiday from FF's constant abuse and berating.

good observation, Cheryl; I. too was thinking that it seemed odd that when Rosario was on tour, el Jefe was nowhere to be seen. i had thought, that at the time, he (elJefe) was claiming her for his own, I was assuming that he was a malovalent force. It certainly seems (now)that that assumption was wrong. But there must be an explanation as to why he chose to take Rosario away, yet has not shown any interest in her other than that. Seems odd...What's even odder is that Juan was having such trouble with the word/concept of "el Jefe". What was with that? It was like the word was completely alien, unpronouncable. incomprehensible. The word "jefe" came to my experience early in my exposure to spanish. 'Course, Juan is un ladrillo menos un cargado
joA.
truly love the recaps.
i feel the need to say that gabriLOCA is so Ugggh. after so many people tell her that feo is only after her money [glad to know that it really aint even hers] she doesnt even have the brain cells to put 2 and 2 together.
people tell her that he only loves her money + he doesnt want to divorce sofia when he finds out she is the only heir= feo is a unluckly jerk that will only be with her as long as she has the money.
i dont know about anyone else. but i love Coyote. he is handsome and i love the way he makes armando and feo quiver in their boots. dont mess with the Coyote or El Jefe! hehe
about Rosario. i just think El Jeje [Jeff] felt sorry that she has to be around jerks. i dont think jeff is bad at all. cause he never actually try to cause rosario any pain. he sorta gave her a vacation that she deserves.

Thanks for the great recap.
EY thanks for that gut-ripping, combination of Scarlett,"I'll never go hungry again", Rod from Da, "Gaviotaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", Zeus and the lighting bolts from some bad 50's weightlifter turned actor movie & a supershout to every idiot who gets repeatedly hit by lightening holding a metal golfclub in the air on top of a golf course. My husband and I were laughing so hard we missed the dialogue.
Yes, Juan as you shyly told us, you don't know the meaning of Jefe, then you repeated your performance like thirty seconds later. Juan, we get it; you are a effing moron, seriously check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moron_(psychology)
The only thing that is missing is a picture of Juan in his "I'm bakin outfit".
Juan isn't just uneducated he is STUPID, sorry you could have sent him to 12 years of school and four years college and he would still be stupid. There is no sense of "Cause and Effect", Pablito can reason, Juan can't. I don't mean Juan is a bad person, he is a good person, but that does not change the fact that he is on the left side of the Bell curve and he will always be implusive and yes stupid.
Oscar is sharper, Franco is passable & Pedro is okay also, but damn put Daddy DumbAss in the room with them and it is like someone said about Sofie---SOS stuck on stupid.

Oh crap I forgot, I love the Lil gap tooth Juan (and what the hell is up with that kids headscarf)?
Was he some hip-hop want to be? I've seen little boys in Mexico wearing macho cowboy hats or Somberos from their states, or of course baseball hats, yet I never saw any gypsy scarfs. I've seen men wearing them when they are working and sweating, but did DumbAss cut his own hair or what?
Oh yes, in comparison to my father-in-law, who died 8 years before I met my husband "Remember, women, little boys and puppies are all the same, if you don't smack them when they make a mistake..they will just keep making the mistake, you have to train them"
Now I want that for my zen magnet.

Nic: Thank you for the wonderful recap. And, bloggers, thanks for the additional info.

Thanks for the recap Nic. I'm glad you are still hanging with us.
We almost got to see El Jefe last night. Woo hoo. Coyote is busily popping up out of the ground again I see. It's kind of funny how he magically appears. Poor Armando, I was waiting for Franco to snatch off his hair again.
When Feo was talking to Benito did Benito say something about somebody returning? I didn't catch all of what he said.

Beckster, that was the perfect definition of Juan! If he wants to train women, then buying expensive shoes for them on a whim, isn't going to work. Jimena should have taken them back and apologized for her selfishness.
It looks like Pedro and Rosario are going to get together. But that's going to be uncomfortable at family dinners with Franco and Sarita...

Have you noticed that now that Rosario stands up to Feo he doesn't terrorize her as much? He just doesn't know what to do. Good for her. He smashes things but he doesn't smash her.
Great recap, Nicolas!
In regards to Rosario, do you think that El Jefe, at first, just wanted to jerk Fernando's chain by taking away his meal ticket? Then as she was on tour it became apparent that she wasn't just some trailer trash as had possibly been evidenced from her past and how she was portrayed at the Bad Luv Bar, but a decent human being?
Do you think Raquel was supposed to produce a heir and couldn't, and Gabriela gave her Ruth, who could be Eva's baby or Gabriela's?
Do you think Gabriela knows how the land came to be in their possession?

teresita..
I think Crabi knows every bad deed that has ever been done..except I don't think she knows the dumbass Reyes Clan is the also the dumbass Clan that spawned dumbass Libia..this is only because of Crabi pride and thought that Libia was beneath her contempt this also goes for Fer.
How come the street gossip was so big on Crabi's slap? Most of these people knew that Libia was boinking Ber, so how come that is so hush hush that the daughters are now boinking the Reyes? Small towns live for dirt like that.

Nic: thanks for another great recap! Glad to hear you're hanging around for a little more lunacy--this can be an effective counterbalance to your studies.
Mighty Joe Juan's scream scenes are just so yesterday. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it. He's passionate, emotional and a salt-of-the-earth kind of guy. As Beckster points out, dummber than dirt but a nice guy.
Feo is your typical bully. Once someone stands up to him, he's lost his power. Probably comes from inadequacies in other areas (wink wink).
I think of El Jefe as being like the Wizard of Oz: all kinds of secret power, operates from behind a curtain, instills fear in everyone but once we get to know him, he'll be a sweet, benevolent chap. (Abuelo fits the bill, don't you think?)
I had a woodchuck in my backyard who pops up here, there & everywhere and can disappear just as quickly. I think I'll call him "Coyote."

Fuego Maggie, you are right about Feo being a bully. When someone stands up to him he gets the "duh" face. Like, duh, what do I do now!
My mom has woodchucks in her yard and she shoots them!:-D I guess they are pretty nasty. Coyote is not nasty however, he's pretty cool. He can save me any time.
My boyfriend turns the channel when Juan is (a) crying, or (b) screaming at the heavens. Crying...flip, commercial, flip...not crying but screaming, flip...news...flip, flip, flip.

Connie: it's a wonder you get to see any action on FELs! Juan's histrionics are repeated ad nauseum and (as several pointed out on more than one occasion) if the director's intent is to clarify Juan's personality, we can all scream a collective "WE GET IT!!!!"

Oh Yes, I am on a total Juan bashing kick today..
something else...along with being a efffing moron, he is untrainable, no matter what arguement you present, his "I'm thinking really hard" face just gets screwed up even more and he shouts louder. Sofie, is just as SOS-stuck on stupid, they just repeat the same behavior. Yes, mommy will love me, sorry Sofie, that crap that all people are redeemable, well they are. I guess it is a good thing Juan and Sofie found each other, that way everyday they can have a really deep thought provoking discussion of what new magic object they can pull out of the chest of treasures. Each day they can get that same four year old at Disneyland look of anticipation, like this time there will be something new in the box.
I am just saying that Juan would be much better boinkable material if he had a lobotomy to render him emotionless, then was rendered mute. At this point it would be more about function than form

The whole time he was baying at the moon last night all I could think of was that I was glad I didn't have to wash his shirt with all that mud on it! ;) Now that's pretty sad.
When I look at Feo sometimes I think he looks more like a weasal than a snake.

Thanks Fuego in AZ. I only caught part of that conversation and Benito had a funny look on his face so I wasn't really too sure what was going on. For a minute I thought maybe he was going to Join Feo.
Nicolás....love your asides, especially "Honey, all I can say is good luck" and "those are fightin' words. Your humor adds so much to this strange telenovela.
Count me in with the rest who are happy you are hanging in there until a full-time recapper can be found.
PS "Fuego Maggie"...glad we had the confusion on Maggies 'cause Fuego Maggie has quite a ring to it!

I think Jefe put Rosario on tour just to make some money off of her and punish Feo at the same time. He probably doesn't even know what Feo's been doing to her. If he did (and if Jefe's a nice guy, as we're starting to suspect) he maybe might have done something to get her free of Feo for good.
Hi Emilee!!
Hi Emilee!!
Great recap. Better than the show itself, for sure.
I think I have identified the source of Feo's bad luck: the horseshoe on the wall in his office is hanging upside down. Deliberate, or do the set dressers not know better? Either way, his plans are doomed unless he fixes it, obvi.

Nic...Thank you...loved all of it! I saw it was posted before it got done here out west, but I watch before I read, wow you are quick!
No we don't know what was going to happen with Sarita and Franco because we never got to FREAK'N see them again!
Okay, Juan can't read, but young Juan in the flashback has got to be like 12 and those parents must have sent him to school? Come on! I don't speak Spanish but I got the Jefe scene and it just bothered me! I do like calling him Jeff, makes me laugh.
Coyote rocks!
Love that Oscar was the one to fine the letter. How many times has Feo shoot every painting in the room. Did he just somehow miss the GIANT one on Bern? Jeez!
Connie, from the other topic, the clear straps in your clothes are for hanging you are correct. The clear bra straps come with the bra, of if you have a convertable bra, that can be halter and such, you can buy straps. Just didn't want to leave you hanging on the bra conversation!
Oh and it was very consciencious of Juan to put a rain cap on his sombrero.

Molly, what Raquel really needs is the Deva Bra.. It is a silocone bra that sticks on with some kind of glue. Then she wouldn't have to suffer with those pesky straps. It is backless and strapless and I use them all the time. Totally awesome. asseenontv.com.
Connie, very nice! May have to investigate. Of course we could all get a Rosario set, then there is no bra needed!
Dorado Dave, you mentioned Sofia teaching Juan to read, made me think of a Tarzan and Jane moment!

When Juan was outside yelling in the rain, all I thought about was that scene in the Shawshank Redemption. It was almost the same scene.
Beckster, I'm the one who called Sophia SOS, Stuck on Stupid but I changed by mind. Almost the whole town is SOS.

I'm a little worried about Rosario, since the other day she told Sofia "if anything happens to me, you should watch Luisito".
And when are Juan and Sofia going to compare notes on their nightmares? Both involve the snake thing.
I also still don't understand the Will thing. Yes, I know in real life they don't read the will, but in telenovelaland, they usually do. The notary explained to Sofia that Bernardo specified that Sofia only inherits when she has a child, because that "will show she has left that bum Fernando" (Bernardo's words, paraphrased). But I still don't see why it would be kept secret from Crabi, or from Sofia. Are they saying that Bernardo doesn't want Sofia to know, because then she might divorce Ferd and remarry just for the money? But why not! In real life, wills do sometimes limit bequests, saying the legatee only receives if, e.g., he marries in the same religion as the testator. But it's not a secret! You're supposed to KNOW what they want you to do, so you can be good, and do it!

Hombre: don't apply logic in Cuidad de Nuclear Waste Dump. Plot inconsistencies are the only thing keeping this ship afloat.
What I don't understand goes back to the time/space continuum and Slofia's non-expanding belly. Either the crack wardrobe crew forgot to give Adela the pregnancy pillow or we have been watching the slowest moving 2 weeks in TN land.

Hombre, I THINK the guy told Gabi that Bernie, not Gabi, was his client in that matter, and he had done what his client had asked, and therefore didn't owe Gabi an explanation. Something like that.
But it doesn't make a lot of sense, because you'd think Bernie's stuff would have gone into... oh, I forget what it's called, it's like escrow, but they call it something else when you're dead... that it would been held in whatchamacallit until Sofi's baby was born. In which case, Gabi would have had no access to it. Otherwise there would be no way to protect Sofi's inheritance.

Fuego Maggie, I don't think her belly is ever going to expand. She should be showing by now and she should stop wearing those stupid sashes! At least she wasn't wearing pink in last night's episode.
Thanks, Nicolás, for your great recap. One point about Raquel's scene, though, the snake emblem belt doesn't condemn Feo for raping Sofía, but her husband Ricardo for murdering the Robles-Reyes. It's his belt she finds. They showed it once before and she said it was her husbands. And wasn't that hilarious when she dropped the belt in disgust, and it assumed a serpentine shape on the floor! What I assume is going to convict Feo is the snake tattoo on his back, which Sofie remembers.
By the way, I think I posted yesterday that my satellite box died. It did a Lazarus on me last night and worked so that I could watch FELS and Doña Bárbara. But its days are numbered. The new one is ordered,

Julie a lot of times they create a trust to "hold" the inheritance until the beneficiary reaches a certain age or ages or meets whatever criteria was specified in the Will. Bernardo was the lawyer's client and therefore there would be an attorney/client privilege. The lawyer would have no obligation and ethically cannot divulge any information to Crabi. In some instances they put in a "no contest clause" which means that a beneficiary is entitled to say $10,000 but if that beneficiary contests the Will and loses, then the beneficiary would receive nothing.
Julie: The word you're looking for might be "probate", or maybe "the estate". But I agree with you, Sofia's possible assets should be protected. And if the lawyer is trying to honor Bernardo's wishes, shouldn't he tell Sofia, the one Bernardo's trying to protect? As it is, he told Gabi, Ferd, but not Sofia!
Probate is more like the process you go through when someone dies. You file the will, notify the beneficiaries, prepare an accounting and inventory, distribute the assets, blah, blah, blah. It can be a long process sometimes. Sofia should have been notified that she was the sole heir and Crabi and Feo should have no access to any of Bernardo's accounts.
Hi Nicolas, thanks for hanging around longer, we like your recaps (& I also like your name, since I have a son named Nicolas too)
You guys remember a conversation between RightArmando & Feo where they discussed something about Feo not paying up on time, so El Jefe was punishing him by sending Rosario away on tour for a couple of months -- and that this coincided with the opening of the Tumbao. RtArm & Feo then griped a bunch about how much money they would lose from this, which was in addition to Feo's gambling losses.
Don't think it was ever said that El Jefe would go on tour too.
Beckster -- I totally agree with you on Juan's untrainable behavior -- the impulsive jump into it without looking but scream while doing it. He also needs one of those bumper strips "Don't Believe Everything That You Think!"
But ya know, Sofia is exactly the same persona, just doesn't scream. Every so often Sofia actually says that she and Juan have the same hard headed approach. She really means stupid hard headed jump to conclusions approach. Needs same bumper strip.

Yes, Connie, you said it perfectly!
Sofia should have been notified. As it is, maybe SHE should make out a will, judging from the scenes of poison in the previews!
Sofia should have been notified. As it is, maybe SHE should make out a will, judging from the scenes of poison in the previews!
Hombre, maybe she should leave it all to the Hijo!!!! (Sorry for the long explanations. I've worked for attorneys for 27 years! :P Unfortunately I also worked for the Phelps family that pickets the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq.)
in a reasonable world, tha notary would have informed Slofia the contebts of the will, unless instructed by bernie to not do so. But then he spills the frijoles to the absolute wrong people, so that they can plot against the beneficiary w/o her knowing that someone might have reason to do her harm. Since this is a notary/attorney that makes house calls, too, I can only explain it by saying that he, too is a down-winder of the toxic waste, and suffers the same malaise...Fuego Maggi- I said a few days ago that Augie was el Jefe, but was only joking. Thinking about it, maybe he really is; that would explain his transportation ease- he zips around in the same magic black Escalade, bending the time/space continuum to his own purpose...Molly- Yes! Exactly! "Mi Juan, Tu Sofia...Donde Caprichio.."
Nicolas, you are hilarious as usual. Enjoy your senior year. Julie, your "whatchamacallit" comment had me laughing too.
If El Jefe is Tio Vicente which seems a possibility, I hope we are given a reason as to why he has ignored his nephews all these years letting them live in poverty since they seem a stones throw away especially by black SUV.
I need to check out the lingerie dept. at the store as I am way behind in the bra advancement it seems.

G in CA, here is the link http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/deva_bra_b.html, awesome product. Great for summer tank tops, etc.
When I was in Italy back in '03, the clear strap bras were the rage. You could wear a bra (if you needed it) under spaghetti strap tops but it would look much more chic than having your plain old bra straps showing.
Maybe Raqui spent time abroad & came home with some fashionable tops. You know, like the leopard stuff she wears. To go with her purple hair.
Dorado Dave: yeah, I probably stole the idea from you but I love the possibility that Abuelo has power, brains, & a really cool, magic wheelchair.

I just watched my VCR tape and was glad to be warned about the Juan-shank Redemption scene. I FFWDed through it.
BUT .... I found the Coyote's remark that Jefe is protecting Pedro to be verrrrry interesting. What's up with that?
Did Pedro once say his parents had a fight, or split, or something ... or was that a dream?

Thanks, Nic...You are a good writer. I always enjoy your clever recaps. Wow...I missed this episode because we are on vacation north of the border. My poor Juanito is really getting bashed...Like Sofia, I'll take him just as he is , and unlike Sofia, I've taught lots of guys like Juan to read, so I can help him become a reader. I did enjoy Beckster's comment about Juan's ''I'm baking'' outfit. And about wills and lawyers. I've had to deal with lots of these in the last few years and there were always readings of the wills in our attorney's office. When my dad died, the farm passed to my mother who then had the lawyer give my sister and I equal ownership with her. When my mother died last year, her share passed to my sister and me. My aunt's original will divided her estate between my sister and me, but when she died, I called the lawyer and discovered that my sister had taken her to the lawyer to draft a new will in which my sister received twice as much as I....the lawyer never contacted me when the will was changed even though my sister and I were joint executrix [and the lawyer is my hubby's oldest friend]. He did tell me that my sister was in the room when the will was changed . [She told me that she wasn't in the room and didn't know what changes our aunt made...and I believed her,,,color me Sofia.] I think it's odd that Sofia was not contacted by the attorney when Bernando died since she inherited everything.

doris -- if I remember correctly, Pedro said that his father had gone to the US to make more money, his mother had been unhappy about it, and his father had never returned, so he grew up without a father, and then his mother died.
So yes, interesting that El Jefe is interested in Pedro particularly, and the Reyes-es in general.

We usually wait for a relative to contact us before we proceed. I can't remember why, but that is just they way he does it.
So if Pedro's daddy took off, and Pedor is going to Reyes, unstead of whatever his dads last name it, maybe he has been trying to find him. And maybe he knew nother on the R-R deaths and kids running amok learning to bake. Or maybe I am being way to logical and linear for a show that is so obviously not!
But Coyote has made it very clear that it is Pedro they are protecting. Also, if his mom just died, maybe Jefe (dad) knew she would send him in search of his cousins.
But Coyote has made it very clear that it is Pedro they are protecting. Also, if his mom just died, maybe Jefe (dad) knew she would send him in search of his cousins.
Molly, Pedro is going by his real name "Reyes," so his father ought to have been able to find him.
Maybe he wasn't looking for Pedro, but when he found out he was in town he immediately put Coyote on the case (and yeah I would not be surprised in the least if Coyote was Pedro's half-brother).
So just to clear things up, in case there's still confusion:
Juan, etc.'s father's name was Robles.
Their mother's name was Reyes.
When their parents were killed, the boys started going by Reyes, I guess to avoid being found.
Juan's mother had a brother, who is Pedro's father, thus Pedro Reyes.
Juan's father had a brother, who is Uncle Vicente Robles.
Who knows what other long-lost relatives there may be... evil twins with eyepatches, etc...
Maybe he wasn't looking for Pedro, but when he found out he was in town he immediately put Coyote on the case (and yeah I would not be surprised in the least if Coyote was Pedro's half-brother).
So just to clear things up, in case there's still confusion:
Juan, etc.'s father's name was Robles.
Their mother's name was Reyes.

BTW, what is that design on Coyote's jacket supposed to be? Is it some kind of pattern or symbol? At first I thought it was a cobra but after getting a better look I think not.
And his ring still looks like it would leave a really impressive mark.

Julie, I guess I was thinking Pedro's mom was the connection to the Reyes' not his dad. So many families, so much confusion. I was thinking the women were sisters, but now I remember the picture he showed Jaun was a brother and sister. Thanks!
Had a flashback memory from kast nites episode. J&S were talking about how their lives together are like a dream, blahblahblah...and Sofia said something like "Well, then, let's just not wake up!" Seems like they never have fully awake...
Oh goody, we are still getting Nico-caps!!! Thank you Nic!
Teresita, I like your idea that since Raquel couldn't produce an heir, Crabi obliged by ripping off someone else's baby and giving it to her...
Too bad I was diverted from the gravity of Juan's screaming oath scene at the tree by his silly little hat showercap.
I totally missed the part where Juan has trouble reading the letter, but haven't they showed him reading things in the past? Didn't Sofia leave him a Dear Juan letter on the dresser?

Yeah, Juan has read things before with no trouble. I wonder if his sudden illiteracy is a a plot point.
Speaking in writing, I noticed in the very first episode that the bakery had some signs on the wall, including one that said "cheaper by the dozen." I've noticed lately that those same signs are there, in the same places. Fireproof!!

And I feel really badly that I didn't cheer when Nic said he was sticking with us a while longer. (Actually, I did cheer, but not in writing!)
Juan seemed to read well tonight in thought bubble technique. Perhaps reading out loud is his problem. It can be a real issue for some people.

Cd. Serdan is up at about 8500 feet altitude -- and it is the gateway city to Pico de Orizaba Citlaltepetl which is glaciated and has snow year-round. I've heard that it is pretty chilly there much of the year due to proximity to snow year round on Orizaba. Do any of you know if this is true? If it is, then I would wonder more about the outfits of Jimena who scampers around in bare midriffs and much else showing too -- isn't she COLD? Rosario must get cold -- otherwise wouldn't wear coat -- but maybe she's hiding the bon bons when not working?
