Doña Bárbara - Wed., Oct.1 : DB wins again but at least nobody died; (sob) Maurice leaves town

Another great episode!

The stage is set. The wedding party are in the hospital chapel ...

so is Melquíades and his blowgun...

DB has been refused access to the hospital but she forces some nurses to give her a uniform and sneaks in while Leon distracts the guards. Tony's plane lands in San Fernando and he rushes to the hospital.

Santos sees DB in the chapel and gets the priest to accelerate the service. Luisana is assaulted by flashbacks of all her dealings with DB.

When the priest asks if she accepts Santos as her husband, she hesitates and says, "no." Marisela is ecstatic.

Antonio and Cecilia take Lorenzo to the doctor.

Tony arrives at the hospital and Luisana falls into his arms. Santos wants to go after her. Marisela tells Santos that Luisana isn't the right woman for him. Marisela says, "who knows who the right woman could be?" Santos is so blind he doesn't even look at her.
Josefa sees Antonio comforting Cecilia.

Maurice & Luisana advise Marisela to convert herself in to the ideal woman for the man she loves. Luisana leaves all the clothes she brought with Marisela.


Maurice gives Santos advice:

Mauricio: You deserves a woman with a bright soul and a backbone of steel who will never let you down. And that woman will bloom very soon and give you a wonderful surprise.
S: Who are you talking about?
M: You'll see.

[M: Tú te mereces una mujer con un alma luminosa con un temple de acero, y que nunca se te doblegue; y esa mujer, Santos Luzardo, pronto florecerará y te dará una maravillosa sorpresa.
S: de qué hablas?
M: ya lo verás. ]

Finally Mauricio says, "Santos Luzardo, you're not a bad guy. You're just a man."

Mauricio says goodbye to Marisela. (I shed a little tear here)


Josefa decides that to get Antonio, Federica needs a sperm donor. In comes Pajarote and drinks his way right into their hands.
Pajarote to Federica: "After 5 beers, you look pretty good."



Lorenzo didn't drink kerosene, he had a heart attack but he's only got a short time left. Santos and Marisela are notified and who is on the boat they want to take back to Altamira but DB.


No DB tonight because of the vice presidential debates but on Friday, it looks like JB's ring is in play again.

Yes, a great episode, although I really dislike Federica and Josefa and feel sure they'll cause a rift between Cecilia and Antonio which will last too long, maybe until the last week when Pajarote fesses up or some other plot device is used. You know women in telenovelas are very fertile, so it isn't going to take long for F to be impregnated.

Another contrast between the book and the telenovela: In the book Barbarita learns all about black magic during her stay with the Indians. They sort of show that in the telenovela version. But in the book she learns how to make aphrodisiacal herbal potions, and this is how she enslaves Lorenzo.

Hi Jean, I don't watch this show but I like looking at the screen grabs you put up, it makes every scene look like a comedy when seeing something out of context. I guess when you aren't caught up in the story. I just want to say that whoever that Marisela is, she is hot hot hawt.

Hi Chris: Glad to see you are keeping an eye on the babes. Marisela is played by an actress named Génesis Rodríguez and she is extraordinarily beautiful, especially now, in my opinion, when she's playing a country girl and isn't made up.

Thank you Jean for posting this
great episode.It is hard to get the details when you do not speak spanish alas. For the 1st time I loved Luisana & found her extra smart & kind to Marisela; she also
gave a good lesson to Santos & his ego - a great slap in the face by telling him the truth & rejecting
him altogether. Maybe he will think
about it seriously & end it with DB
& examine the rose in his garden.
Marisela will surely follow advices of Luisana& dear Mauricio. I hope these 2 characters will pop up again in this TVnovela. Marisela
has a hard road awaiting- her Dad,
DB,and maybe the hardest -Santos.
But how & who will show her the road ..educationwise,fashionwise
etc.. Cecilia at school? I thought Luisana,or Cecilia in `the capital` setting could + a boarding school, but in the countryside- Altamira ?? not
solid enough to arrive to Dr Santos
brilliant & sucessful lawyer ?
- sorry have not read the book yet!
but will;in meantime stroll the Net

M/S have more chemistry >> DB/S.
Everyone agrees Santos looses his marbles with DB. But when will we see his seriouness & credentials -surely not on a horse next to DB..
He needs his sanity back !
Poor Lorenzo is about to die.
Will Santos take Marisela back with him to the capital & put her up in a private school ? will Marisela team up with Luisana & Maurice to be her mentors ? we should get Santos a bit jealous at one point with young male(s)
competition hovering around Marisela.

I am also wondering how Marisela is going to 'flower.' It seemed like Maurice and Luisana has something specific in mind but we don't know what it is. I am sure that other men going after Marisela will make Santos (who really is the world's biggest idiot) look at Marisela as a woman.

Perhaps the guy shown as running from the federales for his political views will show up again to court Marisela. He was definitely interested in Marisela before when he stepped on her dress on the dance floor.
