Doña Bárbara - Thurs. & Fri, Oct. 16 & 17: Santos is jealous and Antonio is in trouble
I think it's pretty evil that Telemundo just stopped providing the English subtitles on CC3 right in the middle of their novelas. I don't know if we have any non-Spanish speakers on this blog who are watching DB. If so, let me know and I'll try and provide more detailed summaries of what happens.
Thanks Novelera for your most recent update on what is going in the novela versus the novela.
Starting with Thursday's episode, we have two stories moving forward: DB's attempt to make Santos jealous with Florencio 'Quita-Dolores' (QD) and Antonio and Cecilia trying to tell Santos about their relationship and Federica and Josefa's efforts to get Antonio for Federica.
DB makes a big show of flirting with QD while Santos fumes. His jealousy makes Santos oblivious to everything else including Antonio's efforts to tell him about his relationship with Cecilia and when Dr. Arias appeals for support in denouncing Pernalete's use of public funds to present QD's concert, Santos is off to the side brooding and he can't concentrate.
Antonio tries to talk to Santos again but before he is able to, Josefa tells him that Federica is expecting his child. He is impactado.
Pajarito advises Cecilia to take Lorenzo to the shrine of the Virgen de la Corteza. Separately, Marisela asks Santos to take her there and he agrees.
Antonio tells Melesio about Federica and how he got drunk and woke up next to her in bed naked. "¿Blanco y en botella? Pues, ¡Leche!" "If it's white and in a bottle, it's milk!" meaning that the situation says it all. He has no choice but to do the honorable thing and marry her. Melesio says that if Cecilia truly loves Antonio she will forgive him.
As part of her scheme to make Santos jealous, DB tells everyone that she is sleeping with QD but when he comes to her bed, she pulls a gun on him and says that she lied and tells him to get out.
Antonio chucks a bouquet of flowers at Cecilia's window with a note. It says that he loves her and will love her forever and not to doubt him. She wonders why he asked her that.
Federica and Josefa tell Pernalete that Federica is pregnant and Antonio comes into the room just in time to take the blame.
DB asks QD how much it will cost her to have him marry her.
In Friday's episode, QD tells DB that he would be her lover for nothing but to be her husband will cost her a lot.
Santos tells Marisela to leave him alone and she goes off in a huff. He follows and apologizes. She tells him that she is a young lady and he should treat her that way not like a naughty child.
Pernalete reacts badly to the news that Federica is pregnant.
He hauls Antonio off to jail.
DB and QD have a deal.
The Altamira ranch hands are on the point of telling each other who their girlfriend in town is when they find out that Antonio is in trouble for getting Federica pregnant.
Antonio suggests to Pernalete that Federica have a pregancy test but Josefa manages to get some urine from a pregnant woman and give it Federica to use for her test.
Santos makes a deal to sell 500 head of cattle to a neighboring rancher. DB finds out about it from Mr. Danger and decides to interfere. She tells her ranch hands to get 500 head of cattle ready. Then she lets QD offer to sell the cattle to Encarnacíon at half the price he offerred Santos. Santos rides off to confront DB and she arranges to have him find her kissing QD.

Thanks for the post, Jean. I was SO hoping Santos would be able to hide his jealousy and not give DB the satisfaction of her plot working so well, but apparently not.
Sorry for a poltical remark, but I can't help myself. Josefa would make a great addition to the Republican National Committee. She's the queen of dirty tricks. The pregnant woman's urine was "el colmo".
Just got through Chapter 7 of Doña Bárbara, the novel. It cleared up something that was shown on television but not explained all that well. If you will recall, Santos catches DB digging up Apolinar Prieto's corpse to get the medallion buried with him so that she can have the woman in the other village give it to Apolinar's son to prove that he left El Miedo alive. She tells Santos something I don't recall perfectly but it had to do with digging up "the familiar" and sure enough there was a horse corpse there. The assumption is that she buried Prieto beside the familiar.
In a long chapter the vaqueros of Altamira: Pajarote, Carmelito, Maria Nieves and Venancio (not in the TV version) discuss the tradition of "El Familiar". They say that, according to an old superstition, when a hacienda is founded, the tradition is to bury an animal alive between the gates of the first corral constructed. Pretty awful, but there it is.
The familiar of Altamira was a large, fawn colored bull that was nicknamed "El Cotizudo", referring to his large hooves. Also, according to legends, the ghost of each hacienda's familiar can appear during times of prosperity. Only Melesio can remember such an appearance. But Pajarote tells of having seen the bull, once just standing there. Another time Pajarote was at one of the "roundups" that they've also shown on TV. There was an old man, don Torres, that Pajarote calls el mejor soga de Arauca (the best at roping animals along the river). Don Torres was unable to rope the fawn colored bull and declared it was because the animal was El Cotizudo.
The vaqueros believe that the reappearance of the familiar is a good omen that happened likely because Santos has returned to take charge of Altamira.

Then that would make Pernalete the poster boy for the Democratic National Committee - corrupt, lying, fraud.

Thanks Jean! I like the spanish captions because I can't always understand what they are saying. Marisela, for example is very difficult to understand. But, that's so crazy to stop the english captions!?
For some reason, Pajarote strikes me as a funny name - bird. Do you think they call him that because he's shrewd? The dictionary says it can also mean cautious and absent-minded. He seems more shrewd than anything else, since he set up the terneras for a little dip in the water.
Glad you mentioned that the muchachos were talking about their 'girlfriend' and about to say who it is. It doesn't seem like they have a 'relationship' with their girlfriend, but rather had a connection with a girl. I don't see them wanting anything serious with Frederica, the crazy...
