Caray, Caray!

Dear Friends, I am making my appeal to recruit a January recapper for Tuesday nights. In January I will return to Mexico for the month. Can someone help out? It is actually very easy dialog, lots of crying, repeats and singing take up most of the hour so this is a good telenovela to jump into. If you are interested you can let me know in the comments or send e-mail to cherylnewmex@gmail.com. Thanks.


More jealousy and snarling from the sisters, but, Santa tells the sisters to fight the good fight to win their men, all is fair in love and war.

Let's get those little muffins baptized since Juan has created muffins to honor each miffin girl. Que cute.

Sofia is bipolar, she loves him, she rejects him, she loves him. Juan can't live without her either but can't except her, but can't live without her, oh bother and fuss.

Santa and Abuelo recreate their fun party scene to scandalize everyone especially Gabriela with their suggestive jokes. As Gabi stalks away from the bawdy talk in Abuelo's room, we in turn see that the straightening of the sword was all about his little soldier, ahem, that would be of the plastic boyhood kind....

Juan is bipolar, why are these boys still in dormitory style sleeping quarters when they have a whole hacienda? No wonder Franco is confused and thinks the kitchen is where one would naturally pick to have sex. Why does everyone have to get it on at a campsite or under the kitchen table?? Why oh Why!!

Oscar and Jimena confess that they are so happy at each other's side. He repeats the I shouldn't but it is so hard to accept the daughter of his parents assassin. Jimena assures him that her pa isn't the killer they have been told. Oscar agrees that he doesn't think it makes sense that her father had anything to do with the assassination. But he can't betray the honor and memory of ma, pa and baby Livia. He can't get it out of his head but Jimena thinks she knows how to do this. Kisses ensue.

Franco and Sarita play out exactly the same scene save adding that Paddy Tad has proclaimed that the children don't bear the blame of the sins of the fathers.

Oscar and JImena begin to show skin (is this baring the blame?) by the rose and the campfire. very sexy. After enjoying the passion of forgiveness Oscar asks her forgiveness since he can't betray his family. Oops the rose has burned in the campfire, not a good omen.

Back at home the boys creep in to the dormitory bedroom in the dark but Juan turns on the light like crabby drill sergeant style and questions where have they been. Silly boy, they are 40 something, it's really none of his business but they reveal they were with the women they love.

Said women walk into the hacienda discussing the flames and passion and Sofia gets to play inquisitor and they get to tell they were with the men they love. Real economy with the pages in the script, they just take turns reading the same pages. Juan meanwhile sneers that he loves Sofia with the same passion that they love their Elizondo's. He ain't getting any and boy is he mad that they did. He raises the specter of the betrayed parents one more sorryass time. Give it a rest or at least a commercial break.
***********
Sofia assures the sisters that they were not betraying her to boogie with Oscar and Franco. The three discuss that Oscar and Franco at least have doubts that Bernardo as the assassin. Semi-weepy Sofia is lost in reveries that Juan forgets his vengeance pledge and kisses with real passion and said he can't help loving her. then he breaks away before delivering the nookie. It breaks her heart.

Franco and Oscar defend their illicit loving of the assassin's daughters and demand that Juan tell them if he doesn't still have love and feeling for Snotfia. They tussle each other around the dorm room and stifle laughs as they try to keep serious about the memory and swearing on the tomb and all the betrayal and revenge lines that we have heard too many times. They swear that no matter how mad Juan is, they are all still brothers and he doesn't get to decide they aren't because they went out to get nookie and he stayed home to pout. Well, isnt' that why he is really mad?
**********
Gabi is doing tears in her brandy for tomorrow is the famoso baptismo. She swears revenge once again, they won't humiliate her this way.

Juan tells the brothers they haven't suffered properly and Oscar reminds him it isn't their fault that they can't remember the death of their parents just as he can't forget having seen it. The soul will reveal itself he says in defense of the love and nookie seeking. Franco says they don't want to lose their brotherhood status but they want to love the assassin's spawn. Oscar is waxing poetic tonight and says if he can't accept them as brothers, they can always regard him as their father since he raised them. Juan cries and repents his unkind words, asks their pardon for condemning their nookie seeking with the evil spawn of the assassin. The scene fades with the dormitory still containing the pitiful little beds brought from the old house, it's too pitiful to say more.
**********

Quintina grabs chickens and mutters about the baptism and the surprise she is preparing which she then assures a very beautiful Eva who has let her hair down. Quintina is wearing mostly feathers but not like old Rosario's getups, rather in her hair, she disappears with the bag of feathers. While others gather to dress and prepare for the baptism.

At the school house the brothers give lots of lip for Pablito's illicit kiss on the cheek. They suggest that he can have all kinds of futures as a singer or whatever. The principal decides not to punish Pablito but rather the brothers for setting a bad example. He demands that they offer social service to atone for their bad behavior. they push Pablito back and forth while he defends himself for being so in love.

Quintina shows up in such a fine feather boa, however did she get that??

At the evil mansion, the girls and nuns are all dressed up. Sofia is in cheerful beige while her sisters appear in festive shades of red. Santa has red hair and even Abuelo is all dressed up. Ahhhh, Gabriela appears at the last minute insisting that she is going with them. Another bad omen? Well the witchy points on the leather collar suggest that she really does need to pursue something with Coyote. Perhaps they could start a leather shop
**********

Gabriela makes it down the stair wondering why everyone is staring at her, a girl can change her mind right, what's your problem.

The social worker prepares to enjoy the baptism ceremony. Abuelo makes fun of the feathers and Padre Tadeo comes in in formal ceremonial robes asks for everyone to be at peace while they realign the brothers and sisters as couples who try to imitate peaceful people. In the beautiful ceremony with all the lovely colored suits, Gabi suddenly regains her rancor and rises up in her slick black leather, kicks the flowers over and marches off. Everyone tries not to notice her rude little tantrum. Just as we suspected, Coyote is on the scene, no surprise, he is obviously turned on by the slick leather flowing towards him. She doesn't want to play, she has an important meeting in Puebla. He offers to drive Gabriela personally to Puebla since her wayward husband hasn't returned.

Back at the altar, now we see that they haven't settled on which girl gets which name before so there is a need for Paddy Tad to do the selecting. Number One baby carried by Eva is dubbed Maria Libia. JImena brings up Number Two and she is named Maria Jose; and last but not least Sarita follows with Number Three who becomes Maria Guadalupe. There is nothing more important than a child he finishes and asks Abuelo to confer. Franco thrills us all the way to commercial with his lovely rendition of Ave Maria sung before the invisible orchestra.

Gabi takes time with the lawyer to insist she will contest the will with all her force. The lawyer shows peso signs in his eyes mentioning that it can be done but won't be easy....

Next: Spite and venom pour out of Gabriela who insists on a DNA test, wedding bells are tolling soon for Abuelo and Santa? and Juan and Sofia still can't work out their revenge -vs- love problems and Sofia is fed up. And my hands are on fire from working with jalapeños without protection so I am outta here!!
