FUEGO thurs 9-4 - A dead father, a doll, a dead sister and a criminal father - what a team
Crabbi wonders what Fern is doing with the photo of Libia.
The girls talk about missing their Pa and that the brothers and Juan never talked about the sister. I missed some of this but they end putting their three hands together a los Hermanos Reyes.
The boys talk about the idea that they are going to tell all the truth after the mass about Libia and the girls’ Pa. They are optimistic that this will turn out ok, after all they are all in love and married now. I’m siding with the telenovela Gods of Chaos that dictate this revelation will be a catastrophe of stellar proportions.
Feo tells Crabbi to shut up that he’s going to tell her something important. Fern explains that he was moved when Crabbi said the fortune would have to be split with the bastard, so he decided to follow the girl and kill her.
He says he killed Libia to protect her and be loyal to her. Crabbi buys it. She wants it. She now knows that he loves her. This secret unites them more for life. Stupid villain, broke the number one rule
The boys go to see the Padre and Juan promises that after the mass tomorrow they will tell the truth. Paddy Tad is proud of them and hopes that the girls will understand. In homage of Libia they will come clean and can’t live in love by living a lie. Padre remembers Feo’s confession. Sucks to be him, huh. The boys wonder what is wrong with him. He makes up some babble that there are some truths that purify the heart and others that hurt profoundly and dirty it and never let us live in peace.....
In the calle Quinti and Pedro peddle Pan but the townspeople all contemplate for 20 minutes that the Padre is sick and turned white and fainted while the bread gets cold.
Feo recounts to himself and assures himself that Gabi can’t possibly talk because she would never betray him.
Gabi, on the other hand promises that if Feo betrays her the whole world will know that he killed that little wretch who deserved it.
Sofi finds a cabbage patch kid and immediately begins practicing Mommy and me for this kid that she has been carrying for decades who can kick, but still not show in the belly yet. She wants to make it more comfortable, the doll, that is, and pulls up it’s pantaloons only to discover the initals LR. She knows the R is Reyes, but what is the L? Hmmm.....
Pedro thinks it will be hard to find their uncle, but he’ll try hard. The Reyes say this will help them recover their land. They say goodbye, wish him luck, and Quinti steals a kiss or three. He walks off with the smallest of suitcases.
Sara lies in bed and recalls Jime’s words that she shouldn’t die a virgin and that she should hurry on with her wedding night. Franco shows up and laughs at her being so silly so he disrobes again showing off the whitest underwear a breadmaker could ever have.
He thinks it’s hot in the room. She thinks he should put on PJs but he says he sleeps nude when it’s this hot. She says he better not. He asks if she’s ever seen a naked man and at first she denies it. Then Sara admits she’s seen THREE naked men. Franco starts to get jealous until she tells him that it was he and his bros and we are treated (briefly) to the naked bathing scene again. Franco decides that she’s already seen him so since they are married he takes off his shirt and crawls into bed to a screaming, protesting Sara.
Sofi is still practicing Mama when Juan walks in. They discuss how odd it is that his sister and her Pa died on the same day. She asks about the LR and what was her name. He gets up and says that tomorrow after the masses they will have a very serious conversation los Reyes and las Elizondos and yes it has something to do with his sister. Sofi finds this all very strange and alarming. He reminds her how much he loves her.
Jime asks Oscar about the sis too, and get the same, that they will discuss it tomorrow. We are then treated to a split screen montage of brothers to sisters lovin’ to the tune of Pablo singing
Entrega Total
Esta vez, ya no soporto la terrible soledad;
yo no te pongo condición.
Harás conmigo lo que quieras bien o mal.
Llevame, de ser posible, hasta la misma eternidad.
Donde perdure nuestro amor,
porque tú eres toda mi felicidad.
Ref:
Llevame, si quieres hasta el fondo del dolor;
hazlo como quieras, por maldad o por amor.
Pero esta vez, quiero entregarme a ti en una forma total;
no con un beso, nada más;
quiero ser tuyo, sea por bien o sea por mal.

Pedro is on his way onto the bus when El Lobo stops him and says El Jefe wants him. They bring him to a house where he talks to the back of Unibrow’s head for a while wondering why he’s there. Unibrow flips Pedro a photo of his parents and Pedro wonders why he has it. Finally he turns around. Luke, I am your father. Ok, well in the Mexican version it’s Pedro.
He answers with tears in his eyes that he is his father.
At the Tumbao, real Rosi Ma asks fake Rosi Ma to tell her story. Eva says it’s complicated but she trusts this lady so she tells of how she fell in love with her boss etc.
Rosi wonders why Ophi doesn’t want her to visit Margarita. Ophi says she doesn’t trust her, that’s all. Rosi is quizzing Ophelia about what she is hiding. She ducks and goes out.
Pedro tells his new found Pa how much they needed him and didn’t have him. Pedro Pa asks for a pardon from him and his mother. He says Ha, she’s dead, so you can’t! You killed her with pain, that his abandonment killed her by sadness. She waited for him to come back, but he never did. Pa swears he didn’t know where they were. Pedro then leaves saying he won’t pardon and the painting falls off the wall.
We then rejoin Eva at the end of her story lamenting that she ever gave up her child. Real Ma asks her why she doesn’t have any proof that Rosi is her daughter. She tells her that the heart can deceive and what if the real Ma of Rosi shows up? Delusional Eva says I am her Mom, why do you ask? Saved by the knock. Margi has to go work so tells Eva to pay her no mind.
Rosi and Real Ma sing the same song on opposite sides of town. How sweet.
General G-Pa shows up for more abuse. Crabbi wants him to leave. He says he wants to help and that she is in danger with Feo and she’s left all the people who really care. He says he suspects that Feo killed Bernardo. Crabbi wants proof and kicks him out until he has some for her.
Pedro contemplates his Pa’s announcement he’s back at the Panaderia. Juan goes out and sees him and he is crying. He announces he’s found his Dad.
Meanwhile Dad orders El Lobo to get in touch with their people and find Vicente Robles, not to bug him, just to locate him. He tells himself he has to get his son’s pardon no matter what the cost..
Pedro says El Jefe is his Dad and your uncle. Juan under stands and wonders what he’s going to do. Pedro says he will go far away and can’t forgive his Pa for what he did because his mother suffered so horribly.
The next day the church bells rings. The three girls discuss that they were told a conversation was pending today.
The three boys discuss the El Jefe sitaution, but amazingly don’t fall off task because of this development and continue to promise to still tell the truth today. And we end staring at Juan’s determined face.

Rosca: Thanks for the great recap. I jotted down a couple of phrases last night that I didn't understand during the dialogue. One, I found. But, the other I couldn't. Here they are:
esta retumbado en mi cabeza - it's echoing in my head
un santo cacazo -??????
Can anybody help?

Thanks for putting in the song lyrics Kris. I haven't watched this episode but will, in order to hear the music. I love the theme song of this...with all our complaints about the plot, no one could help but love the music.
I haven't tried to find your expression yet, pasofino, but sometimes the closed captions are wrong and that's why a word search fails.
I remember once in Fea, the caption said "cafete" and the naturally bewildered recapper thought they were talking about coffee.
Turns out the word was "gafete" which was referring to the identity badge employees were wearing.

Thanks for the wonderful recap, Rosca, along with the snarky commentary. ;o)
"I’m siding with the telenovela Gods of Chaos that dictate this revelation will be a catastrophe of stellar proportions." Love it!
We can tell Pedro is not from this town because he used a suitcase instead of a pillowcase. Darned uppity foreigners.
I must know which laundry detergent the Bros. Reyes are using to get their whites so bright! FELS is missing a great product placement opportunity here.
"Luke, I am your father" Okay, Rosca, you could have warned us about that one. Thank heaven I did not have a mouthful of tea...so my computer is safe. No doubt this is his dad. The hair---er...---fruit did not fall far from the tree.
Okaaaayyyyyy.... Sofia has a beautiful black dress for the memorial service? THAT's why she isn't showing yet... wardrobe dept. needed her to fit into that dress.
So.... did Franco and Sarita (ahem) consummate their marriage? Methinks not.

Thanks Jean, your recaps are so much better than the show.
[Most of this show doesn't make any sense.] But, why doesn't Padre tell someone about Furd? He's not obligated by confession anymore - right? He doesn't have to have proof to mention it to the police. That way, if Furd kills him at least that sharp CIS team will have something to go after...

Thanks for the 'cap, FdeRdeR, my local station had the schedule all messed up, no warning, no explanation. Querida Enemiga ended at 9:20, then Guapos started, no idea if/when FELS came on. So el Jefe is Pedro's pa, and he's going to find Tio Vicente. I'll bet that he has better luck than when he was looking for his own wife and son...Foe has made a double-fatal mistake in telling both Crabi and PadTad about Libia. That was NOT a confession, no one could construe it as on, and there could be no confidentiality involved. Tad had better tell someone, or at least leave a little note laying around
Dave: Right - he's not confessing, he's bragging.
Judy: The more I think about the second phrase, the more I think it's related to "caca", and we all know what that means.

I've been trying to post comments all morning but my computer is not cooperating. So sorry if something posts twice.
How long will it take for Crabi to jump up in the middle of the service and slap somebody? I wish the good Padre would smack her and say sit down and shut up. There would be a standing ovation!
I wish we could see more scenes with Pedro in his underpants.

Pasofino- yes, he's bragging, he's starting to get that invincible attitude again. Did he still have bruises from his fight with Juan, or is everyone all healed up. I just wish that I could heal as quickly as these guys...
Doris, I too was thinking they picked the right actor for Pedro's dad in the hairiness department!
Would Franco and Sarita get to it already? Great we get to hear Pablo sing again, and it was pretty, but jeez, move along already! And wasn't that the song he was singing when he and Rosie were doing it under the tree?
Where does Pablito sleep? I am assuming NOT where Oscar and Jimena are sleeping!

Thanks for the recap! I was just reading yesterdays comments. This is for Paula Polvorones--I have seen the movie you were asking about. Bajo la Misma Luna or Under the Same Moon. Derbejes (sp?) did play a serious part and I think did well. The main character was the boy played by Adrian Alonzo. He is a fantastic actor. I recommend this movie--but don't forget the kleenex. Think it won something at the Sundance Film Festival.
Somehow I missed the episode when all 3 Reyes were skinny dipping...

The Jefe revelation that he is Pedro's father sounded like a Darth Vader shoutout to me. Agree that the relationship shows in the body hair.
Thanks to all the recappers and commenters. I've been distracted by family drama this week and last, almost at a TN level, so my viewing of FELS was hit and miss (Sorta like the plot on FELS). Now I'm up to date, just in time for some major stuff hitting the fan with the brother's confessions.
Two items that cracked me up in recent episodes:
Quintina accessorizing her charro (charra?) suit with a frilly pink plastic visor, although it was in keeping with her normal wacky look.
Eva dragging her life's total possessions in one suitcase. Don't know if she packed in a hurry or if Gabi is so mean she wouldn't allow Eva to collect any personal effects.

Oh Nancy, if you like the boys that one was not to be missed!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VUxJx6TY48
Where did Pedro get his nice little pullman? He showed up with a pillow case just like the rest of them. Was that with his fine Tumbao money?

Sofia (actually all 3 girls) is so wide-eyed and innocent. She was playing with the doll, wanting to make it more comfortable. Then she can't figure out what the L stands for. She's sort of like a raggedy ann doll herself, red hair, old fashioned dress (just needs the striped stockings to complete the look)- wait, maybe I'm thinking of Pippi Longstocking, where's that darn doll collection of mine? :)
As for PadreTadeo, I have no clue what the real rule is, but maybe since he heard the news in the confession booth, it's a sacred place, so he still can't talk.
Of course, all of Ferd's confessions don't amount to legal proof, since he didn't confess to the police, and he could deny these things. However, he still stupidly keeps Libia's locket, which IS proof (circumstancial).

Molly, regarding Pedro's suitcase. Yesterday I speculated that the brothers' house is actually a tardis because rooms appear and disappear willy-nilly, and after all, Brigadoon is close to London.
If it is indeed a tardis, then I'm sure Pedro found the suitcase in one of the various rooms. If he shows up one day in a really, really, really long scarf, then we'll know for sure.

What was the room that Pedro was sitting in when Juan found him? I thought it was a courtyard but maybe it was another one of those magic rooms.
I think it was politics screwing up the schedule last night, at least for those of us on the west coast. Republican speechifying must have run way long. I got home at 8:45 to find the recorder still picking up Enemiga & Guapos didn't start until about 9:15.
The Reyes household is like the Room of Requirement in Harry Potter. New rooms, magically appearing remnants from the past which they have apparently never seen before in the trunk, etc. Magic dresses which completely hide pregnancy.

Paula that's hysterical, tardis. Perfect description, because it must be the same mechanism at play that transfers them between modern SUVs and older, traditional clothing and healthcare, sort of a stratified time traveling idea, selective as to item, if you will. :)
Thanks for the recap K. Pablo's singing was the high point of last night's episode. With the revelation about Libia it looks like Sarita may remain a virgin a bit longer.
Paula, I haven't watched Dr. Who in years, that is hilarious!
Lets hope Sarita dn Franco finally consumate this dang marriage tonight! Oscar implied that Franco was quite the lethario most of this life. But he is content to sing to Sarita, must be love!

Anyone know who Tio Vicente is? I thought the long lost uncle, Pedro's father, was the tio. And those dark goofy props that decorated Unibrow's casa, where did they come from ? ... from an old Indian Jones set ? Thanks for the recap as usual, great job. I think it's wonderful that so many of you can follow the dialogue and pick up the phrases. I'm happy when I can pick out a word!

Hi, 2:05!
There are two uncles, one from each side:
Uncle Vicente Robles is Juan's father's brother.
Uncle Alejandro Reyes (Pedro's dad) is Juan's mother's brother.

We are trying to have a word or phrase of the day. I don't know if that is helpful to you or not.
Did we get a definition yet for our word of the day?

Rosca K, Thanks for a wonderful recap. I always love your allusions to so many other shows, movies, etc. I never watched Dr. Who so had to look up TARDIS on dictionary.com which led me to a new helpful site: http://acronymfinder.com. What a fun way to spend time, so much better than working.
I am wondering if we don't have to give unibrow some carry over credits from his role on Rosalinda where he saved a street urchin who had tried to snatch his briefcase. Rather than turning the ragamuffin over to the cops, he takes him to his mansion, buys him a cowboy hat and great clothes, teaches him to ride a horse and prepares him for a life of college, riches and fortune. This is during and after he gives up the girl of his dreams (no less than Thalia) so she can get out of her marriage to him (like the altar scene of Sarita but with a happy ending for Thalia). Surely these credits should help him to justify himself in the eyes of the disillusioned Pedro when he hears that Dad wasn't just riding around in the back of an SUV peering out at life through heavily tinted glass.
Oh and Gabriela actually getting all aroused at the thoughts of Feo murdering for her (never mind that he was only thinking of the watered down fortune). It was a well done scene but actually ran FEAR chills down my back, not the other kind.
Franco shedding his whiter than white whities was welcome diversion as the pies start to sway back and forth in anticipation of tomorrow's big confession. Another opportunity to see ill-planned truthiness cause a real train wreck.

Surely these credits should help him to justify himself in the eyes of the disillusioned Pedro when he hears that Dad wasn't just riding around in the back of an SUV peering out at life through heavily tinted glass.
Oh and Gabriela actually getting all aroused at the thoughts of Feo murdering for her (never mind that he was only thinking of the watered down fortune). It was a well done scene but actually ran FEAR chills down my back, not the other kind.
Franco shedding his whiter than white whities was welcome diversion as the pies start to sway back and forth in anticipation of tomorrow's big confession. Another opportunity to see ill-planned truthiness cause a real train wreck.
Loved the entire recap but I LMAO at "I’m siding with the telenovela Gods of Chaos that dictate this revelation will be a catastrophe of stellar proportions." Ditto to the other person who loved it!

The uncles, Vicente & Alejandro: reference to the Fernandezes, I presume?
Cheryl, I don't know my novela history well enough. Which one are you referring to, in Unibrow's past?
Molly, dh & I really like the new Dr Who. Find it if you can. I heard they're even going to bring back K-9!
Nancy, regarding movies, check out 7 Dias if you can (it's on NetFlix of course). Well worth the trouble.

Nancy, I get busted watching it at work by my employees every now and then. It is the cause of much mirth. I keep it saves as well!
Paula, I will have to check out Dr. Who, I used to love it.
Can't wait for tonight. If the girls freak, I sugget all the boys run to the stream for a swim! It will make them feel better!

It is just named "Rosalinda"; it was a Thalia vehicle about 10 years ago and just finished a new reshowing last week. Unibrow is portrayed by the actor Sergio Reynoso. He often plays a rich heavy but with a secret heart of gold. So we will see if this proves out in this role as the padre so late in his child support payments that Pedro may not be able to forgive him.
Doris-
I don't know how old you are. but I think the brothers must do their
unmentionables in FELS NAPTHA.
hahahaha!
For you youngsters, fels naptha was an old time laundry soap.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Alice, Fels Naptha is the best! We use it in the costume shop for getting out makeup in collars.
Although it might make you panties chafe. Come to think of it, drying them out on the clothes line makes them kind of stiff and uncomfortable. Maybe that is why Juan is always so grouchy!

More recently, El Jefe earned the nickname "Unibrow" in these parts from Barrera de Amor where, believe it or not, he was leading galan opposite the most exquisitely beautiful Yadhira Carrillo. An unusual, but nice pairing.
Thank you Fuego! I am hanging on the edge of my chair, too bad no FELS for me the next few days as I'll be on travel.
However, I like the idea of fels naptha soap for the laundry...The whole water theme for this TN is just so satisfying: laundry, showers, streams, waterfalls, etc. I'm glad they don't live in the desert!

Would that be worth buying and watching ....even though it is a 7+ hour version

Doris, About those abbreviated versions of telenovelas. I am of two minds about them. If you have never seen the original expanded version, they are quite intertaining. If you did see the original, the short version can be disappointing. I had that experience with Alborada which I adored in the original but was disappointed that many scenes were cut or rearranged for the DVD version. So if you don't think you will see "Rosalinda" in its full glory soon, the price seems great and I think it would be enjoyable to have it.
Thanks for that excellent recap, Kris. I agree about the water theme in this novela...showers, skinnydipping, waterfalls. In Amor Real, there seemed to be a bathtub scene . [No shower scenes bevause it is a historical drama.] Adela [Sofia] and Fernado C. were always in the bathtub. I did not hate that. In one particular scene, Fernando's character Manuel was being very environmentally conscientious by bathing with a friend. And in Duelo de Pasiones there were lots of river and whirlpool scenes.

Paula-Oh my God! 7 dias is one of my favorites! I actually saw it about 2 years ago at a special showing at which Jaime Camil was supposed to apear. So I dragged my 25 year old son with me. Jaime did not show up, but the main actor who is also the director was there and did a question and answer after the movie. Since then my son has become a big fan of Jaime Camil.

This is about movies -- my favorite non-novela viewing! I use Blockbuster on line which may not have as many movies in Spanish as Netflix.
I saw Bajo la Misma Luna and just loved it. Eugenio Derbez is excellent as are Kate del Castillo and all the novela familiars who show up. (IMHO)
I did want to comment on the question of why there isn't better material available for Mexican actors (like EY) in cross-over roles. The comparison with Spanish actors is not really fair in that Spain has a more internationally elite movie industry and Penelope Cruz, Javier and even Antonio Banderas labored for years there before getting discovered in the U.S. They haven't always been successful with their material in English, either. They were all in Almodovar movies as well as other Spanish work -- Jamon, Jamon is very good and wild.
I buy it when actors talk about having to develop their own material to get anywhere. Look at Salma Hayek with Frieda.
There are a couple of interesting American movies out there about the border that have gone nowhere fast, but are pretty interesting. Trade, with Kate del Castillo and a lot of other familiar faces is nothing great but she is good. Jennifer Lopez's Border Town didn't even open in the U.S., although it won some award in Europe.
So I guess that it's a super competitive business and hard as heck to get anywhere with.
I recommend another movie, El Orphanato, that del Toro produced. It's really good and super-touching.
Also, a Day without a Mexican, with Eduardo Palmo is good and made by a Mexican direcor. It's not fabulous but really enjoyable and makes a good point.

Oh please...I am watching this act of futility tonight. I may have missed the finer points, but Jeez are these not the three most ungrateful mouthy bitches you have ever seen? Did Franco even get any from Sarita "The love that dare not speak it's name" Okay I have been watching "The Spy Who Shagged me" and Sarita just screams Frau Farbissina.
So granted I wasn't watching that closely but, wasn't it like Sofie "Yeah, by the by, what was that dead sister's name?"
---Yeah you've only hung around for like 11.5 months now and never ask---
So Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty & Snow White, are furious cause the boyz hooked up with them seeking revenge and then fell in love with the three most likely to never get laid chicks (well unless pass out rape counts), marry or want to marry said lame chicks and the girls hate them? Jeez actually I think the whole thing is kinda hawt. So the babes are offended even after they realize the Pa the Perv was diddling the much beloved but extremely challenged baby sister, gets her pregnant & he's married with three spinster daughters. Then said simple sister plunges into deep despair and gets her head bashed in. The boyz weren't supposed to be a little grumpy about that?
Have these three pillars of virtue forgotten what life was like before the boyz came to town..Ah the pinata birthday, the arranged marriage with a gay guy and a guy who would rather never have sex than have with Sarita.
Now we are going to go home to Mama..This just sucks, I could see punishing the boyz by maybe getting waited on, cooked for & lots of useless baubles...Oh crap wait the girlz already get all that...
I'd kick their asses to the curb, the boyz would be so much better off with some of the regular chicas. At least they would be less trouble.`

Thanks for all the additional suggestions for films, Traveling Lady. Those that I had not seen are already in my Netflix Queue. This is so fun and I have seen several hundred Spanish films in the past three years or so but I am always finding more that I don't know or ones that I want to see again.
Beckster, You are absolutely right. the ungrateful, flaky damsels. They never merited the hairy guapos and now their DNA is calling. They all have more of Gabriela in them than I could have imagined. What a waste.
Woo. I've been offline most of the day. I do want to thank you for this recap, Rosca. Thursday nights are often a lost cause for me. Even when I do watch the show on a jueves (as I did last night) often it just seems to go in one eyeball and out the other (ouch!!).
But any unexpected Star Wars reference makes my day. :)

Cheryl, Beckster, I am with you! How incredibly sancatmonious they were. Even Padra and Pabilito couldn't sway them. Guess they would rather get slapped around and shoved down the stairs by their loving mommy and her beau. And HELLO Sophie, your mom is doing your legal husband, do you really want to go back there?
I don't understand what the big deal is. Okay, so the boys weren't honest when it all began, but haven't they proven themselves since? Oscar is in a freak'n neck brace and sling because he was trying to defend Gramps! What a bunch of losers!

Yup,yup, yup. Didn't Jimena adopt Pablo -- may not be final. Maybe that's what will bring her back. I see her as the first to return, but who knows.
Pasiones de Galivanes, the other remake of this story, is on for two hours at noontime on Telemundo. I haven't had time to do more than catch a glimpse but the gang lives in a house that has a second floor! They all seem to fit better. I guess that's the end of the crowded Reyes house. It will be interesting to see if the "boys" go back to their single beds in the dormitory-style room now that the three wives have moved on.
I don't get Abuelo's anger. The whole thing is trumped up and silly.

I found out who Ruth is in the picture 2 episodes ago. It is Susana Zabaleta.

Yup. I think the delay in introducing Ruth may have been due to a casting problem. First there was a rumor that it would be Aracely Arambula, then the rumor was quashed and emphatically denied by all parties, then it became officially true, then it ended up not happening. (Lots of rumors about that too, which are beyond the scope of what is allowed on this blog, not very interesting, and probably untrue.)
I've never seen Arambula in anything, but I'm aware that she's a huge star and that it was a big deal that she was going to do this. Personally, I am usually underwhelmed (often annoyed) by megastar guest appearances, so it's fine with me that they got someone else.
(Or is Zabaleta huge too?)

We had to make a run to the airport Friday night, so I missed all but the last 10 minutes of Friday's show. I was just in time to see Mighty Joe Juan pleading with a furious Sofia in the bedroom followed by the 3 sisters in black standing united in the livingroom before making their exit stage left. Then, Juan put Libia's photo back on the shrine shelf. So, how many episodes do you figure it will take before the hermanos Reyes/Robles win back the hearts of the fair maids ??? Jimena looked like she really did not want to leave Oscar. Are they REALLY headed back to their crazy mama and Ferd , the Flying Monkey ??? Ugh///I'd rather go to the convent...at least I'd know that nobody would slap, drug, push me down the stairs, set me on fire, or verbally abuse me there. These girls are soon going to find out how good they had it with those guys...good baking and good loving..They are very stupid. When you have a good guy...do not let him go.

Okay, so we've struggled and suffered all these months to bring the three hermanos y hermanas together. One bad moment and now we face months of suffering and struggling to rebuild all that was destroyed.
I say, just work on recovering the Robles hacienda and let the chippies fall where they may. Pablo broke my heart last night, too bad he didn't succeed with the girls.
