Caray, Caray!

The picture above is a farm scene in Cantabria, northern Spain. It has nothing to do with Fuego but I needed to see something pleasant. I hope you don't expect me to redescribe the slime on the stairs scene between Feo and Sofia, sorry, I just can't, it is too, too yucky. So on with the rest of the recrap:

Damián wants Sofia to forget Juan, she can't, he goes. Dra. Lust can't forget about Juan either and tries to kiss him once again. She's getting closer to success.
We get to see kisses and dancing near the bed and later in it, Jimena and Oscar give us at least a semblance of normal desire and love. On the abnormal side, we have Feo and Sofia, Feo and Gabriela, Feo and himself, how could any of them believe that anyone other than the desperate Gabi wants Feo. Feo persists in thinking he is a swain however, and Sofia is forced into revamping his image as Gabi discovers Feo groping Sofia.

Above the madding crowd on the stairs, the love scene of Jimena and Oscar continues to sweet after talk: she continues loving him even though she should hate him, mostly because he didn't tell her the truth from the beginning Oscar also avers that Juan is incapable of doing damage to Sofia. He apologizes a thousand more times for doing less to harm her in a year than her mother and ugly brother-in-law do each day. but that is opinion and I have no proof other than my own eyes. Out in the hallway, we hear Sarita approach. Oscar dives for the closet clothes in hand.

Gabi accuses Sofia of ruining her happiness and being her enemy. Is it true what Feo said? Gabi demands of Sofia. Yes, before you were going to marry him, in a moment of madness Feo said he would help me if I put out and I agreed. I beg your pardon. It had no consequence. Mom seems to have totally forgotten that she robbed the cradle two times and the first was her son-in-law. Sofia as Cassandra (remember the Trojan heroine who was condemned to tell the truth but be always judged as insane). now says some day her mother's love for Feo will be her perdition. Later Gabi accuses Feo why didn't he tell her what naughty things Sofia had offered him. Feo feeds the mother daughter hatred tendency and Gabi falls harder.

Sarita thinks the room and her comatose sister feel really hot. Hot is right thinks the hidden Oscar. She tells the body (aka Jimena) that yesterday Franco came into the store and bought a dress for some woman and it turned out to be a present for her. Sarita confesses that she still loves Franco with all her soul. She also hates him with equal fervor. Especially Juan, especially all three. She hates them... Oscar grins, Jimena plays dead.

Sofia whose cheeks must be rotting with constant flow of tears or growing mushrooms, prays to the virgin, but alas not for understanding or intelligence.

Damián consults a lawyer about capturing the child stealer, Juan, even though his lawyer tells him it isn't a crime for a father to take his own child. It is also hard to find a child with no photo or more information about her. Being a lawyer with expenses to cover, he promises to help Damián pursue this lost cause.

A Mariachi comes to make a deal with Feo and Rosendo. the Mariachi is going to bring in the harvest, in that outfit, if I am not mistaken. Even Rosendo knows this looks fishy. He advises telling Gabi before Feo signs away the hacienda to a slick stranger. This infuriates Feo who wants to continue the fantasy of his impressive business acumen.
**********
Sofia watches pathetically as a peasant mother carries her child by. Sofia is waiting outside the school and catches Pablito. She wants to talk, he not so much. Pablito the wise knows that everyone is saying that the Damián is in love with her and she shouldn't be hanging around with him when she belongs to Juan. Pablito says you have to believe me, Juan loves you profoundly and I am sure he didn't steal your daughter. He would never do anything like that, he isn't bad.

Juan, who at least acknowledges that he has had halucinations of big fancy black horses, but can't make sense of it so he concentrates on vaccinating the pueblo. Doctora continues to argue that she should jump him just because he can't prove that he belongs to someone else. Must have been that logic class she took in medical school . She spent her whole life studying and didn't have time to think about or jump anybody else so she has to take what she can get in this jungle. She kisses him again. He starts to capitulate and kiss back but her honest assistant shows up and tells her the pueblo is awaiting their vaccines. She promises that very soon she will be his woman, his woman. [I swear it's not my typing, they really do keep repeating themselves.]

Damián comes back to the store to plead with Sofia and Sofia thanks him for his attempt to help her, he apologizes for trying to kiss her and promises that he wouldn't do what she doesn't want to do. We should get him and Dra together, they are horny and desperate enough for a new relationship.

Paddy Tad tells Oscar and Feo that he is very worried now that Gabi ad Feo are married and Gabi is more obsessed every day. Her daughters are in danger. He asks them to watch out for the girls they are in danger, in danger. He can't say more so he says it several times.

Filth and garbage (mugre y basura) is what Gabi charmingly calls Rosario and Eva as she strides out of her SUV toward them in the town square. Eva withdraws with the innocent Luisito so he can't hear any more filth out of Gabi's mouth. But Gabi's come on is so appealing, Rosi looks pleased when she gets to tell the shocked Gabi that Feo is the real father of Luisito not the jailbird that Feo claims to have killed in self-defense like Gabi spouts and obviously believes.
**********
Last week, Juan reinvented the plow like a clever Neanderthal. This week he is teaching them about building scarecrows to keep the birds off the crops. Just as we are about to get a bit of skin at the old pool, the ugly one shows up to assure Juan that he is not as savage as the others. Juan runs him off. Ugly one retreats beating a whip at his side.

Damián and Sofia question the midwife that attended Sofia at the birth. She tells them the baby looked like all new borns with no distiguishing marks or features. She remembers that some one dressed just like Juan seemed to be involved and she is sure that he didn't do this alone that someone dressed just like him helped him abscond with the baby. She seems sure that she knew what was happening when the lights went out. It had to be Juan, who was dressed just like Juan. Hmmmmm.

Doctora Hotlips is in reviews in Juan's mind. Juan tries to scratch his head and remember but, he remembers her hot looking body and his purple face but not much more until the words of the wise one of the village warning him that he may find something worse than he has now if he tries to run off and find himself. He tries to get happy with this current state of mind as he sits by the swimming hole, Dra Hotlips is hot in his head and all we get is a black trunk swimming scene and breathy flute music, nice, nice. Better than Juan trying to think.
**********
We come back to Juan still in the water and my only question is how this one pair of black tighties stay together and don't seem to show under his whiter than white peasant pants. Juan tells Hotlips that he is prepared to revive his life and be happy in the village in his new life and Hotlips wants more guarantees. Juan at least makes a deal that if he can be happy and forget about the past, he will be there and be happy with her. She is happy to agree to whatever.

Sofia is still crying to Damian that she is sure that Juan did this all by himself and she heard the baby cry and she is sure that she knows more than anyone that her baby has been stolen by Juan. Egad, I can't keep up with the insanity of her arguments. Who cares what she blubbers into the welcoming chest of cute faced Damián, the scene fades as she continues snotting on his expensive leather.

Comic relief or vomit relief in the form of Quintina in the motorcycle with side car scaring a local woman and her traumatized chicken half way to the soup pot. Quintina announces her taxi service in cartoon voice which gets quite a good return.

Back in the kitchen the boys have kerchiefs at least and undershirts to keep the bread a bit cleaner but probably not a flavorful as Juan could make it. They discuss the message from Paddy Tad and what they should do to save the girls.

Gabi wants the truth from Feo, is it true that you have a child with this prostitute, Rosario. Is it certain that you are the father. Feo grins his Cheshire cat best.
**********
Answer me Feo, and don't lie. Is he your child or not? Yes, he purrs, he is my son. She launches into a fit worthy of the bitchiest Gabi can be. Are you in love with her. Noooo, it was one night of passion only. Get out. She hisses, I am beginning to repent that I married you. My family is right it was a grave error to involve myself with you. You are worse than those Reyes, Worse. Feo wilts slightly under this insult.

Oscar is walking down the street and gets odd looks, checks his nose and his zipper and can't find more than snot on the former. Suddenly he sees the poster on the fence that they are looking for a fugitive Juan Reyes who everyone knows now after years of anonymity. The picture looks like an engagement announcement with the happy Sofia and Juan in happier times.

At the store, Damián is trying to help Sofia more, Eva insists that Juan is not to blame but Sofia is in a proper snit now with Damián aiding and abetting .

Out in the field, the latest victim of harvesting accidents is discovered by Juan who expertly applies a tourniquet and carries him to the Doctora. The standersby dub him an honorable man. At almost the same instant, the police office confirm to Oscar and Franco that Juan is a dastardly fugitive from the law and hence the poster (cartel). Now which is it?

Oscar and Franco go to see Damián who pets the intelligent looking dog. He is averring that Sofia is desperate and must accuse Juan. They assure Damián that he doesn't know Juan yet but their brother Juan would not ever do these bad things. Damián wants to be fair but wants to help Sofia end her suffering (in his arms or bed presumably) He admits that she is free and he is interested and he wants her to be happy and he wants to be happy and he is going to buy that happiness, so there.

WORD OF THE DAY: Cartel = Poster
*****
No show tomorrow night folks. We will have a pause for the final presidential candidates' debate. So Thursday it looks like Rosario is in for some more Feo violence and Franco shows up to try to help and oops, there is a gun! Yikes.
