Doña Bárbara - Thurs., Nov. 6 - The alcaraván sings for Cecilia; both DB and QD hope that there's no wedding today
Santos asks Marisela and Lorenzo what he has to do to get them to come back to Altamira. Marisela says that he has to swear the DB will never come to live at Altamira.
QD begs DB to let him go. She says that he only has to stay for the wedding - one more day and then he can get his money and go. DB ask Melquiades if QD suspects anything about what happened to Chepo. Melquiades says that he doesn't think so. QD hasn't asked about his friend.
Chepo's partners in his religious healing scam come looking for him. Josefa asks which of the two names are correct for this guy.
Team Carmelito (aka the Altamira vaqueros) ambush BP and force him to tell them what he did with Gervasia. He tells them that he sold Gervasia to a brothel in Pilar, a neigboring town.
During the school session, Genoveva hears the alcaraván (the bird that announces unwed pregnancies) sing again and the terneras and Marisela accuse each other.
But it's Cecilia who thinks the bird might be singing for her.
At the brothel, Gervasia is about to get her first client. Team Carmelito bursts in just in time and gets Gervasia out of there.
DB forces Chepo to give her information about the other two rapists. He doesn't know what became of one of them but he saw the other one in the capital and he is obviously something important in the military.
Federica goes shopping and gives her father, Pernalete, the shopping bag. Rumaging through it, he finds a box of sanitary napkins. He wonders why Federica is buying sanitary napkins if she's pregnant.
The Altamira vaqueros promise Gervasia that they won't say a word about what happened to her and tell her that her family wants her back. She thanks each of them, especially Carmelito for helping her.
Melesio is overjoyed to have Gervasia back. He asks her to forgive him and she asks him to forgive her.
DB lets QD go to town. He sees Chepo's buddies and manages to escape Melquiades vigilence long enough to tell them that Chepo is in trouble and more or less where he is.
DB is in her wedding dress. She says that if Santos doesn't come to stop the wedding, she won't care about anything: love hate, life or death and she will demolish everything and convert the Arauca into a big river of blood to drown herself in.
Chepo's buddies find him and dig him up. He vows vengeance on DB.

Thanks, Jean. I'm a little confused...who is the father of Gervasia's baby ?

The father of Gervasia's baby is Leon Mondragon. He seduced her on DB's orders to get a spy at Altamira.
Thanks for your excellent updates, Jean. The acting by Edith Gonzalez was really very moving in this episode. You could definitely feel pity for her, looking gorgeous in her wedding dress and praying for Santos to come and rescue her from herself.
Balbino Paiba is sort of a pathetic villain. It seems like a lot of his actions are motivated by frustrated love (lust?) for Doña Bárbara. But it sure was fun to see the guys from Altamira giving him a much deserved beat down.

Gracias, Jean! I don't have any pity for DB anymore. She's had plenty of opportunity to change and she's got plenty of help and advice with Eustaquia and Santos. But, Edith sure does a great job expressing all those emotions. I didn't realize she was such a good actress, because I had only seen her in Mundo de Fieras. She was either angry or bs-crazy.
Speaking of frustrated love/lust - it was interesting to hear what Melquiades had to say about DB to Quitadolores. Let me know if I'm off, but my take on it was that he loves her from afar, where it's safer...

Great insight! Yes, there does seem to be some element of love in Melquiades feelings toward DB. But that was the first time he gave any sort of reason for his unquestioning loyalty. He's wise enough to know that she's way too dangerous to love.
