Fuego, Wed., Sep. 24: The extremes of inheritance collection
I should explain that I am currently ill, tired, and over-worked, without a laptop, and a FELS episode which is missing certain segments. I’m sorry to let you all down; I know this is an excellent episode for snarking, and I am sad to say that I will not live-up to your expectations.
Here’s what I remember:
So it’s finally time for that modest little critter inside Sofia to pop-out. Seeing that she was conceived in some of the most remote locations known to north-western Mexico, it is only sensible that she be born in a bedroom on a remote ranch assisted by a woman we have never seen before. The baby comes out just as the lights go out (Heridas de Amor flashbacks anyone?) That darn Armando, I told ya’ he was good for nothin’. Sofia goes into some fit about finding her baby, even though she’s lying right next to it. Then whattaya know, Fernie, though I don’t think we’re supposed to know it’s him, comes in and snatches the baby. Just then the lights come on again and everyone realizes the baby is missing.
As fate would have it, Juan was riding about in the storm. Luckily, he happens upon a fleeting Fernie and a stolen baby. The two ride side-by-side for a while, Juan tries to snatch the baby, but Fernie’s horse is faster than ol’ Capricho. Finally Fernie’s goons stop Juan, who decides that it would be a good idea to get off the horse and punch the goons while Fernie gets away. Eventually Juan catches Fernie at the waterfall just as Fernie is about to toss the kid down the falls. What? That’s my daughter? See, Juan was just following the kid because he liked his blanket. Now that he knows his daughter is involved he brings out the pistol and aims it at Fernie who aims his pistol at the baby, who is inches away from the edge so I say what’s the point? Anyway Fernie tells Juan to put down the gun and Juan does it. Stupid, I know. Then Juan shoots Fernie, snatches the baby, then turns his back without making sure Fernie was dead. Ruh roh. Fernie isn’t dead, just a gunshot wound on the arm. Fernie picks-up his pistol, re-snatches the baby, and shoots Juan, forcing him into the air and down the really long waterfall. Please be dead, please be dead…
Everyone at the ranch finds out that the baby has been stolen, and Gabi instantly blames it on Juan. They all take this and run with it. Sofia, interestingly enough, is playing the part Juan did when Libia died (the crazy psychopath who also is scared of everything). “My baby, my baby” she cries. A doctor comes to see her; her organs are good, but she has some emotional problems. That’s surprisingly accurate for a nurse practitioner, or whatever he is.
Eva is over at the Uribe Mansion, which I think she at least be re-named Reyes Mansion seeing that the Reyes legally own it. Anyway, she can’t figure out why there is unbaked bread on the table. Maybe because some bread is in the oven. Oh, Quinti sees that the bread is burning, but between the two of them, they don’t know what to do when bread is burning in the oven. Please, Eva can barely match her shawl to her blouse, how could she possibly know her way around a kitchen? Anyway, Quinti pulls out the slightly brown loaves and decides to pour a pitcher of water all over them. That’s what I do too when my toast is dark brown. The girls find out that Sofia had the baby, but it’s missing and so is Juan. They hope Juan didn’t do what everyone blames him of doing.
Oscar and Franco venture off to find him. They call Juan, Juan! But one search-tactic-gone-wrong is that they maintain their horses in one spot and continuously circle; you won’t cover much ground like this. It’s no surprise they can’t find him. Meanwhile, Quinti goes outside the Uribe Mansion to find Capricho, but no Juan. When Franco and Oscar return they start calling for Juan within the house. The first hint he wasn’t there was the darkness and Quinti crying.
Over at the Elizondo ranch Gramps is awfully incredulous of Gabi’s suggesting Juan stole the kid. Well, things go from unbelievable to blatantly obvious when Fernie comes in all muddy and scratched, yet not bleeding from any gunshots. Gramps says that they played a wonderful performance, but he’s not buyin’ it. He tells them that he hopes to see them in the deepest part of Hell. Would that mean Gramps would have to be there to see it? Fernie tells Gabi that she’ll never see Juan or the baby ever again. I say; not so fast, liver-lips.
So the pinnacle of this episode was when Padre Tadeo organized a search party. They meet at the police station, where everyone including the police chief has the utmost confidence that Juan did not steal his daughter. The good thing is that everyone is going to use torches—boy won’t that be a lot of fun!
Nobody in this town knows how to search for shit. It’s complete chaos and reminds me of that fateful night in Pasion where the one guy sent his goons to rape Susana Gonzalez. To articulate this: everyone is screaming Juan, Juan! However, no one is moving in any sort of direction, except self-contained spirals in one solitary opening in the forest. Nice.
The first thing Gabi and Fernie do is go to visit their lawyer friend. How sad that you lost your granddaughter. Well, if she doesn’t turn up soon, you’ll remain the sole heiress to your husband’s fortune. How convenient.
The next day Juan is nowhere to be found. Everyone is worried. Sofia and the sisters go to church with Eva. Seems like Sofia is as good as new, and she's not even crazy anymore. They pray to Mary for help. They're gonna need it.
Alright, I apologize again. I think this is most of it. Of course you had your cynical remarks from Sarita, and exposed midriffs of Jimena, but nothing new was left out.

Sorry you're ailing, Nicolas! :( You did a great job anyway, though. That just about covered it.
Gawd, where do I begin?
I know, at the blatant cause of last night's fiasco, in a nutshell--Sofia. Yes, yes, I blame you, Sofia. For it ALL. (Sarita and Jimena don't even exist for me any more, they're such sock-puppets with Crabby's hand up their asses pulling the strings. Think Stepford Wives meets Hacienda Elizondo.) Let's see--my Mother From Hell curses me out daily, beats me in my face numerous times, kicks me out, says I'm dead to her, says I'm not her spawn, abuses my sisters and grandfather and hired help, STOLE a woman's newborn, says she wants my unborn child dead, effs the man I'm not even divorced from, the same man who has attacked and tried to kill me several times, the same man I know raped Rosy, did I mention I'm DEAD to her...
...and what do I do the moment I break up with my man? Find safety at the convent with Mother Superior? Rent the space out over my new shop and bed down there with my sisters? No! I go back to live with the woman and man who have stomped me into the ground and want me and my baby dead, so they have a much easier time pulling a scam when I go into labor. Every time Sofia said, "Mi hija... donde esta?" I said shut up. Just shut up! Don't wanna hear it.
I mean, did y'all SEE Crabby's face as she told them Juan stole the baby? Like she was ordering a sandwich--not even pretending to be upset. Not convincing at all. But oh, it's like the gospel regardless of the fact Sofia knows the heffer lies to them. Of course Mama wouldn't lie about this. Meh!
I've had such hope for Sofia since she started snapping Crabby and Feo up regularly the past few weeks. I tried. But I'm just so done with her now.
Mr. Director, you really outdid yourself. No, really. The Juan Pursues Feo & Baby scenes could have been amazing if put together properly, but you blew it. Why have Feo disguised as Juan when no one actually saw him?? Sofia had her back turned, and he was long gone by the time the nurse looked over the balcony. Why would Juan bother chasing some unknown doppelganger (he should have seen Feo's face and the baby first) when Sofia's in trouble? Juan wouldn't shoot at Feo with the baby in the man's arms at the edge of a waterfall--come on. You sure know how to ruin a telenovela and end actors' careers.
Please, Eva can barely match her shawl to her blouse... Hilarious.
More funny stuff--Gramps clapping at Crabby and Feo's bad Oscar performances, and the Huge Search Party That Searched In A Circle Without Moving Away From Each Other.
Yes, boys, Capricho coming home alone is bad. As if Juan would kidnap his child on foot. Don't think so.
Who is going to find Juan? Will his memory be intact? Will the new Dra. take care of him? Will Juan HAVING A BULLET IN HIM be enough to convince people something sinister went down? Probably not.
Again, thanks, Nic. You done good.

Nic, you disappoint?..as if
I too loved the kitchen comments.
Hey how long does it take to bake those pans? WTF is that a Kenner Easy Bake Oven? I mean by the time the pans burned Juan was swimming with the bloated green radioactive fishes & Sofie had done birthed that bebe and had it stolen by nasty yankee carpetbaggers. Sorry I am getting my romantic melodramas confused.
How come in real life if something like this really happened you would feel bad, instead you want to just say for the love of gawd, STFU & give it a rest.
I love the stellar search party..lets get 50 guys together of which probably 30 are also named Juan and stand in a 50 foot diameter circle with torches and scream Juan at each other.
Juan...Que? Juan...Que? Juan...Que?

Great summary, even not feeling well. Thanks for hanging in, Nicholas.
I actually didn't want the episode to end last night -- more compelling than usual. I think that we're at what they call a nueva etapa in novelas that are not popular!
The search party was hilarious. Sophia at her worst and the sisters unbelievably passive. At last they let Eva-of-the-shawl back into their lives.
The bread, the bread. Between Juan leaning on it the other night and Quitina throwing water over the charred rolls, hard to know why anyone would want break from the Hermanos Reyes. let's not forget that they now have to travel to the Uribe hacienda to get it.
All a bit much, but we soldier on.

Feo and Crabi outdid themselves in this episode. They really deserve the grand award for evil deed doers. They have been bad before, but to have her own grandchild kidnapped is the worse.
Butter biscuit, you are so right. Why would Sofia go back to that house. What did Feo do with the baby? I hope he didn't kill her.

Thanks for the recap Nic. Thank God for the fast forward button! If I heard Snofia say My Hija one more time I was going to go crazy. Ok, we get it--she's not there. The one scene when she was talking to Eva I was waiting for her head to spin around and split- pea soup to shoot out of her mouth.
The searching scene was so funny! OMG--I was laughing so hard I almost fell out of bed. Juan, Juan, Juan....
The searching scene was so funny! OMG--I was laughing so hard I almost fell out of bed. Juan, Juan, Juan....
Once again, I missed a thriller. I switched to "90210" to miss the Bush speech (please: no one take this a red/blue statement...I hate all politicans of every stripe. Prostitute are more honest--you know exactly what they want from you & what you're going to get) so needless to say, after watching 5 minutes of a show more stoooooopid than FELs, I fell asleep.
Woke up, switched to Univision & caught the Juan search party scene. Yeah. That was brilliant. Nic, my sympathies are with you, suffering from sickness, fatigue & technological issues yet you soldier on, helping us to cope with creative ineptitude by serving up some serious snark. As always, your recap was great so I never feel bad about snoozing through an episode or two (or three or four).
Stephe: I'm with you on Slofia. What an idiot. I can't garner up one scintilla of sympathy for her. I know she has to work with the script & the director but man, they botched it up royal if the audience can't stand the protagonist of the story.
Eva-of-the-shawl...LOL!!!

Whew! What an episode. I'm with Travveling Lady, I didn't want the episdode to end, not without finding either Juan or the baby. What on earth are did Feo do to the baby? We know that the baby hasn't perished- she is crucial to the storyline, and "they" wouldn't do such a cruel thing to someone truly innocent and helpless. Would they?! Gawd, I hope not! Anyway, supposing Feo fails in killing Juan and la nina, he's not doing so well in his "batting" average, now is he? How many of his "hits" have been strikeouts?.. The search scene really was goofy- like a cartoon, or from a Three Stooges movie- the guys should have been running into each other, and falling down. I'm glad that the pace of the plot has picked up...Thanks for the recap, Nick, get to feeling better...
Nico - Thanks for the recap, especially since you are under the weather, tired, computer challenged, etc.. It isn't fun, is it?
Well, I wasn't sure I would even bother watching my tape of this episode after reading the recap, but after reading the comments here, perhaps it would be worth it for the campy comedy value. Was this script written at a Middle School literary summer camp? Ack.
And I hope I have something to watch on my VCR tape and not King George's speech. I don't know if FELS got preempted......

Thank you for the recap . Get well quickly.
Fernando stashed the baby somewhere for leverage. He can always blackmail Gabby later with the info. But considering DNA doesn't exist in this land, perhaps the partera spotted a huge mole on the darlin's nalgas as she was stolen away.Time will tell.
Man, D.Bracho has got to do some serious public distancing of herself from this evil part . They must throw tomatoes at her . mhm

Who is going to find Juan? Will his memory be intact? Will the new Dra. take care of him?
This is exactly what I was thinking... His memory will be gone and the new Dra is going to save him. Because that waterfall would have certainly floated his boat to that indigenous part of Mexico where the new Dra. is at. And since he has no memory there's not reason for him not to fall in love. Unless...UNLESS... this is far-fetched... Juan's memory is intact and having the new doctor care for him will create a Florence Nightingale effect... something to ponder...

Nic, you're hilarious, even when your sick and technologically challenged. I would expect great things from you even on your deathbed...it's in your blood, dude.
Call for help from Mom Beckster if you don't get to feeling better soon.

Nic: This is a great recap. You nailed it. Yes, Adela Noriega is in danger of losing her public if she does more stupid roles like this. The writers outdid themselves with dumb scenes. You've already said so.
Doris: partera is a midwife. And, a midwife would not have left a woman who just gave birth alone for a moment.

I was wondering who got to clean up the mess! And how did she have the strength to walk to town? I didn't even have the strength to walk to the bathroom let alone to town! That was just silly.
There is a new installment of our telenovela Para Siempre at diynovela.blogspot.com. I'm still fine tuning the site though so any suggestions are helpful.

Thanks, Nic, for leaving your sickbed and going above and beyond the call of duty. This episode was unbelievable on so many levels. Why was Juan chasing Ferd if he didn't see the baby and figure it was his? And fighting over the baby ...then again by the waterfall..then shooting Ferd WHILE he held the newborn babe..then turning his back on that sneakysnake...I could barely watch this mess. Of course, Juan's bloody and battered bod will end up ob the banks of the river to be found and rescued by Hot Doc who will fall madly in love with Mighty Joe. Help me...I can't stand where this is headed.

Susanlynn: Of course Juan will be found by hot doc - why didn't I think of that? He'll probably have amnesia, too.
Nicolas, even ill, you were wonderful!
Okay, so if Feo is so smart, why didn't he come home with the baby, say I saw Juan steal her, I shot him he went over the water fall and I saved the baby. Then he can stay married to Sophia, and she would be stupid enough in her gratitude to finally probably let him in her bed, and he would still have everything. He's manipulated Gabby enough that he could make it work and seem like he was doing what was best for her also.
I'm guessing Juan is showing up at the witch doctors table soon. We know he can't be dead!
I did think Franco did a good job of stepping up while Oscar seemed a bit lost and following little brothers lead. Also Rosario knows something is up.
At least the pace has picked up on the stupidity so we don't have to see the same thing rehashed every night.
Oh, and Sophia is a pathetic moron!

Oh Molly, you are so right! I fast forwarded past the Slofia scenes. I just thought of what the searching reminded me of...it was like watching a Monty Python episode except in Spanish. :-}
So what was Franco saying to Sophia? Since I don't speak any Spanish my fill is was "Sophia, you stupid beeatch! Why would think this of Juan, what has the guy got to do to prove himself to you? You three are worthless, hey b*tch with the whip, bring me those damn papers to sign so I never have to see any of your pathetic faces again!" Okay at least that is what I was hoping.
While Oscar (who my love for is shifting to Franco) makes moony faces at the Bratz doll like a freak'n tard!

Great Job Nicolas. Last night's storyline was very unsettling. Fernando and Gabriela took cruelty to an entirely different level. The deviousness of Fernando's plot and Gabriela's glee at the supposed demise of Juan and the baby was sickening. I'd say this is probably the darkest hour but I'm sure Fernando and Gabriela have an entirely new repetoire of hurt and abuse waiting in the wings. Blech. Diana in MA

Juan...Juan...Juan.......Juan X 20. How could they hear Juan if he answered? I was laughing and sneering at the screen. Great recap Nic. G in CA

Totally agree that Juan will be washed up to where the new Doctora is, with no memory, and they'll fall in love.
Feo couldn't bring back the kid alive, because then Sofia would inherit the fortune instead of Gabi.
But what happened to to Feo's bulletwound on the arm? Healed already?
I wonder if anyone's going to feed or nurse the baby for the next few weeks.

I would think the puebla's crack team of law enforcement would find out about Crabi's constant questioning about the will and put 2 and 2 together. (I don't really think this, but one could hope). The thing that bugs me about this TN is how they've made Feo so one-dimensional. At least with Crabi we see how bitter she is from unrequited love (or lust). I think it would be way more interesting if Feo didn't win every stinkin' round. And if at the end, all of the so-called "good people" decide to turn the other cheek and not make these people pay in a slow, hurtful way, I am going to feel royally screwed. The bad guys suffering is the only way I'm getting thru this.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. The fact that Sofía isn't bright enough to notice the smug look on her mother's face at the successful outcome of her plot makes her the tonta of all tontas.
I agree with ALL the other mentioned gripes about the lack of logic. Juan shooting Feo teetering at the edge of a waterfall with Juan's newborn in his arms...priceless.
And maybe Juan having amnesia and hooking up with hot doc will be a big improvement. Fewer moments of Sofía wailing: mi hija, mi hija, donde está. And, yes, Stephe, Sofía nominated her first-born for the Darwin Award by moving back to the Hacienda of Horrors.

I haven�t had time to read caray caray in about two weeks�but my friend and I have a few comments. We are waiting for Capricho to communicate with the family, just like Lassie, did�.and tell the family where Juan is. On another note�.since we haven't read or posted anything in the last 2 weeks, any comments on Sarita, her glasses and resemblance to Sara Palin? Also, could there have been a cheaper stage for University of Puebla graduation? And I�m sorry�the graduate/doctora�when she was doing the horse exposition? On the jumps, could they have put a girl stunt double???? So obvious�and what about Rigo�s head tumor�.he�s diagnosed at the �dispensario� of all places, and then the screen says, �A few months� later�.and he�s barely getting an MRI a few months later!!!!????? And why is the dispensario so conveniently located to the hacienda, to the reyes panaderia and to Ciudad Serdan? Love this comment from another recapper: At least the pace has picked up on the stupidity so we don't have to see the same thing rehashed every night. And about Puebla�s crack team/law enforcement. Mutton Chops hasn�t solved a crime since this novella started! He needs to watch a few episodes of CSI and get with the program.
Thanks for the translation of 'partera.' As for the doctora, it is fine with me if Juan has amnesia and falls in love with her.
Does Adela always play this type character? I saw her in Amor Real and that character was a ninny, as well. Just wondering, as I've not seen any other of her novelas.

Doris: To answer your question about Adela Noriega, I saw her La Esposa Virgen and she was easily manipulated in that one, too. I guess the villains always get the meatier roles. I did like La Esposa Virgen with Jorge Salinas and Sergio Sendel as her love interests.

Nightingale effect indeed. Like Stockholm syndrome and just as strong. Juan being involved with a new woman would be a welcome change for me, sorry.
I can only pray the waterfall and ensuing ride down the river rapids tore all of Juan's clothes off before he was tossed up onto shore. Viva, Mexico!! :D (I know, I'm hopeless)
I too am glad the pace has picked up.
Diana--I was definitely unsettled when Feo pointed his gun at the baby. I fully expected him to toss the newest little Reyes right over the falls in front of Juan or after Juan fell--I'm really surprised he didn't. Yep, a whole new low in villainy for him and Crabby. Ugh.
What was that mess at the Bad Love Bar, with Rosy noticing the muddy guys coming in during her performance? Are they going to use that in the plot, or was it just filler, you think? (I know, stupid question)
Y'all are killing me with your comments!
Feo is so 2-dimensional because they're sitting too long on their freakin' hands and not getting into any of his background. "Let's keep it secret, and then spring it on them in the 11th hour! Yeah!" No, you idiots.
Julie, LOL! I don't know...Libia may be busy (I think I saw the actress last night on CUIDADO).

I'm not so surprised that Feo kept the baby instead of tossing it. A healthy infant is probably worth a lot of money. Heh, we already know it's worth a lot of real estate.
Hi,
I'm a new poster to this blog, but I've been enjoying the recaps for a few weeks now. I'm completely de acuerdo that Juan is going to end up with amnesia and in love with the new doctora. But I also want to know how come Fernando's bullet wound miraculously healed, leaving no traces of blood, no stiffness in his movement or wincing when Gabriela squeezed his shoulders.
One nice touch was how all the guys had stretch-on rain covers for their sombreros and matching ponchos. Muy Garanimals!

Welcome, Renee. Say hello, everybody :)
Of course, Juan getting found by and getting together with the new Dra. is just speculation (i.e. wishful thinking) on my part. We'll see if it really happens or not...
He could rescue himself, drag his battered carcass into town, and immediately be attacked by The Stupid of Ciudad Serdan.

I'm cracking up at the re-cap and comments, thanks!
I had to turn the sound down for this one, all the screeching "mi hija...mi hija" then the ridiculous "juan...juan..."
Thanks for the analisis of Sofia, Steph. My head was swimming with all the illogical stupid things that happened in this episode, I was missing the crux of the matter!
Youre right, if she wasn't so credulous and dumb none of this would be happening!
Is it a requirement for the herione to be so "good" and trusting that she can see no evil in anyone and ends up getting duped all the time? But wait, half the time she's not trusting who she should trust, she's holding a stupid grudge or something! So much for that theory.
I couldn't beleive that Fernandos bloody wound cleaned up so fast with no soreness or anyhing, not even a wince at gabby grabbing his shoulder...wha??
Of course Juan is going to find be saved by the doctora will have to have amnesia to fall in love with her. I hope the two of them stay in the selva and live happily ever after! (with lots of swimming of course)
I was really dissapointed in Caprico, and the hermanos. First there was the scene when they realized that Caprico had come home alone...they run out to see....then...nothing. Cut to them standing around the hacienda wringing their hands! Why didn't they let Caprico lead them to his "amo"?? Come on guys!! Maybe tonight??
Arrrgh!
randy, sea.

OH Nicolas, I hope you're feeling better and you didn't expend all your energy on this great recap! The snark-o-meter was off the charts last night.
I wanted to smack Sofia last night, if only to get the sweaty hair off her face.
I like the idea of Juan being found far away with amnesia. And some helpful woman swabbing dried blood off his bulging muscles. Yah, that would be about right.
Oh, and what happened to the divorces scenario that Crabbi was harping about?

Hi Renee! I love the hat covers. It reminds me of the little plastic hat my mother always puts on so her hair doesn't go flat!
Hey Molly how 'bout those Beavs? They just whuupped USC. Anyway I finally got to see the witch doctor and the lady doctor.
The witch doctor had a skull-on-a-stick, complete with auburn hair and a coordinating red headband.
I think the skull has the same wardrobe person as Sofia. Or Sufria, as I shall now call her.
