Doña Bárbara - Mon., Nov 3- Antonio gets out of jail; DB plans her wedding; Leon loses Gervasia in a card game

DB kisses QD but all she can think about are the various times she made love with Santos. QD says that it's too bad that he won't know the 'Cacica of the Arauca' [female indian chief] because now she's just an unhappy woman in love.

Marisela tells Santos that she wants him to be her lawyer to get back the estate that DB stole from her father. Marisela says that Santos fights for justice and she wants justice.

Juan Primito brings Carmelito to see Gervasia. He wants her to leave El Miedo with him right away but she says that she can't after all the things she has done to her family. Carmelito says that he will find out if her family will take her back and then come back the next night at the same place and time.
Meanwhile BP has won Gervasia from Leon in the card game.

Santos tries to explain to Marisela that DB got posession of La Barquereña legally even though she took advantage of Lorenzo's weakness and probably killed Prieto senior. Marisela is not satisfied with that explanation. She says that trickery is bad and therefore it ought to be punished.

BP comes looking for Gervasia in the middle of the night but finds Leon. He says that Gervasia is sleeping with Eustaquia.

Juan Primito comes to visit Marisela and brings her a lizard.

Santos goes to town and sees an announcement of DB's wedding posted on the wall.

Don Encarnación comes to El Miedo and says DB cheated him by making him break his deal with Santos and then selling him inferior cattle instead of what she promised. DB says it was his choice and what did he expect for the price she offered. DE says that this won't be the last she hears of this.

Santos goes to see Antonio in prison but he is distracted by seeing DB's wedding announcement. Santos tells Antonio that he can get him out of prison but he has to do what Santos tells him. Whatever that is, Antonio doesn't want to do it but Santos tells Antonio to trust him.

BP comes for Gervasia and Leon tells her that he lost her in a card game. BP drags Gervasia off and ties her up.
A judicial proceeding against Antonio begins. Matilde points out Antonio as the man who raped her and fathered her child. Following Santos' instructions, Antonio tells Pernalete that he will marry. Federica exults...
and then Antonio clarifies that he is willing to marry the woman accusing him - Matilde.
Federica faints. After a conversation with Santos, Matilde, who is already married, withdraws the accusation against Antonio and he is freed. Santos agrees to help her get her husband out of jail.

There is no celebration in the bar though because DB has bought all the liquor in town for her wedding.

Genoveva tells her sisters/cousins that Gervasia wants to return home. She and the other terneras are happy but she isn't sure how Melesio will react. He overhears and says that he would be overjoyed to have Gervasia back. Then Antonio comes in and there is much rejoicing.

Juan Primito unties Gervasia but BP sees her trying to escape and gives chase. Meanwhile Carmelito is at the rendezvous place waiting for her.

Antonio has a joyous reunion with Cecilia. They plan to tell the still oblivious Santos about their relationship at dinner. Lorenzo excuses himself. Melquiades interrupts to deliver a wedding invitation to Santos. He tells Melquiades that he will attend and although he says that he doesn't care what DB does, he is obviously upset.

Meanwhile DB finds out that Chepo, rapist #3 is in town.

Loved the judicial proceedings. I hadn't figured out Santos' plot that he talked Antonio into, but was delighted at his offer to marry Mathilde. The expression of: "Oh, crap, hoist with my own petard" expression on Pernalete's face was indeed priceless.
 

Yes, it was fun to watch Federica's bubble burst-again! Almost enjoyed it as much as when Cecilia smacked Federica...
