Caray, Caray!

Hey there. I'm subbing for Julie tonight so I put together a sort of quickie.....

We open with the costume fest and Jime flashing back Juan's kiss with Root.

Juan hopes that this time it's really going to happen and Soph tells Juan that she is sure nothing can separate them now. Oh crap. That's a death sentence.

The sis' and Eva are fawning over Soph and messing with her wedding dress.

Tio gives Juan the suit his Dad married in. Juan remembers seeing a picture and that someday he'd wear a suit like this for his boda. He rushes off to Oscar's therapy. Tio then balls all over that same suit that he misses his brother.

Oscar is on his flannel blankie on the ground lifting his own leg with his hands, that's pretty impressive. His brothers join him for what turns into flash back alley. They recall all important turning points in the show from the day they found out about Libia's relationship to the day they showed up at the hacienda, and HURRAY!!! A reprise of the naked swimming scene!!!! Complete with blurs!!! Ugh!! ....anyway...they traverse their journey of love and hate to where they are now and end with a big multi man hug on the floor together.

Root is trying to get into the caja fuerte cursing Feo all the way. Feo shows up without knocking and he reminds her this was his room first. They do their usual rough playing and kissing with boots on the bed as she tries to get the document she signed back from him. He refuses saying that is his best proof that she too wished the death of Crabby so she'll never get it back. She kicks him out then tries again to change his mind with her feminine wiles. Problem is she's not all that feminine, really. Sure enough, it doesn't work and he leaves. She smacks the wall.

Gabi and Ricky are having a conversation. He can't believe she let Feo into her family. He thinks she's a fool. Shortly thereafter Feo happens upon the door. Gabi is begging Ricky to leave Feo alone. Ricky says look just because we have a kid together doesn't mean I'm going to let you use me again. Ruth is our daughter, and that will unite us, but don't expect anything else from me. Feo of course gets an earful of all of this, and that Soph isn't her daughter and he is muy impactado.

Soph is asking Juan about remembering the time they made bread together. All of a sudden they smell something burning. That darn Pablito, he left his coffre in the oven. At a bakery. That would surely use the oven everyday. Hmmm, I always thought Pablito had the most sense of all those buffoons. Pablo, I'm embarassed for you, the oven? Sigh. Anyway, of course this stupid manuever has a purpose, to allow Juan and Soph to fish it out of the burning oven. Of course they pull it apart and discover the magical papeles. These papers recite that Raquel Uribe is the owner of all Uribe property and nothing belongs to Ricky. Reading this starts the few neurons in Juan's cabeza spinning, and he deduced that must have been the man in the hacienda and he must have been trying to find them. Our heroes make their best evil smile at the thought that they have these over him.

They then make the giant leap to deduce that Raquel must be in danger for her life. Soph realizes Raq has been missing for a while. Juan decides he must look for her. Soph says no, she'll try instead.

Pab shows up just in time to get called decelebrado- brainless- for leaving his coffre in the oven. He laments the fringed state of his secretos including his photo of Rosita. Soph promises him it will be ok and that she'll help him get another picture. Oh, and if it was for his stupidess they never would have found these magical important papers!!

Gabi and Ricky continue their slimy conversation. She says she's there for him so he can't deny her what she asks. He'll stick by her as long as it's cool for both, but if he has to defend his own interests, he'll drop her like a lead balloon. Gabi says he knows what she's capable of. She wantsto know why he was shot. He says he doesn't know. She doesn't believe him and note that his past is catching up with him and that soon he will meet with hell; he says if that happens, they'll meet it together.

Feo's neurons are firing too. He has a lengthy conversation with himself about what it means for Ruth to be Crabby and Ricky's daughter and that's why she saved Crabby. He decides he has to dominate her now like it or not. If not, he'll have to eliminate her even if it means losing have the fortune. Because the dead can't interfere, they're dead. He repeats, they're dead.

He then wonders if Soph isn't Crab's daughter, then who is her Mom? This takes him all of about 2 and 3/4 seconds to determine it must be Eva, that this is the daughter she has been searching for for so long. He laughs like only he can do so well.

Soph is telling Eva that she is going to become Nancy Drew and investigate all this, maybe Raq knows about the papers already. Eva as usual warns her against taking such a risk and that it's dangerous.

Ruth is grooming herself with what looks like a mini-horse brush, but what do I know. Feo watches and then enters and admonishes her not to underestimate him. He makes alliances as he wishes and no one is irreplacable. She wonders if he is warning her and he responds that he keeps his enemies closer than his friends, that way it's easier to eliminate them. With that he is out of there, without having boinked her despite her sliding the horse brush inside of her pants. Ruth is perplexed.

Reyes bros with Tio discuss the papers and what this means and what they should do. Juan decides they should keep them for a while, give him lickings for a bit and then when it's appropriate, turn him over to the authorities. Chente Jr. in a rare moment of emoting screams that he'll kill him. The boys think no, he should be turned over to justice. Oscar looks positively frightened by Tio's reaction.

Soph encounters Ricky and wonders where the hell Raq got off to. He wants to know what her business is with his wife. She tells him it's none of his concern and what's he going to do, kill her like he did the Robles Reyes? He eventually tells her that Raq flew the coop. Soph can't believe it.

Raquel chats with blind mama about not wanting to get back with Ricky or Ruth. They both mistreat her. Coyote Mama mourns for her son as she doesn't want him to stain his hands either. She mentions this all has something to do with Rick Uribe and Crab Acevedo.

Soph tells Eva Raquel fled. Eva isn't surprised. Soph has for some reason taken this on as her little charity project and decides she must find Raquel and rightfully return her property to her. OK, I'm confused. Isn't this the same Soph who wanted to take away lands and stuff from Raquel a few novela months ago? Anyway, she decides to be her guardian angel now.

Crabby and Ricky discuss Soph's visit, he wants her to find out why Soph was snoopin'.

Oh for Gosh sakes give it up already. Root seeks out Feo, who snidely knew she would come because his words surely affected her and caused her to think. He offers his help to her separating Soph and Juan because surely she can't do it alone.

The Marias admire a beefsteak who hands them a flyer advertising a strip show.

The sisters go to visit Jime who has installed herself in the shop. They try to talk her out of it, or to let them stay too some time. She says she is in peace and wants to stay there. Sara stays behind so thankful they have such a chummy sister as Soph and Jime tells her about the kiss she saw. For once cynic Sara states that surely this was some trick by Ruth and she says no way should we tell Soph. Ugh again. This can only turn out badly.


Juan mudwashes the room he has decided Sophi and he will share once married. How romantic. My favorite color is mud too. I especially liked the ceramic boot he pulled out as some sort of decorative item. Equally romantic. Ah Juan...



Quintina teases the Marias they've never been in Amsterdam when they show. She tries to coerce them into going to the show and suggests that they go in a disguise so no one recognizes.

Pablito is humming piquito de oro and is actually a great singer, he's redeemed himself. Oscar rolls around the room making fun of everyone painting techiniques. Oscar barks orders about how they should fix the painting and they rave that he's back to his old obnoxious self.

Quinti is trying to get another recruit to go see the "Angels". In true macho form Horty's novio comes up and says they are going to marry right this very second so then she doesn't need to go to the singles club to see the show. Quinti tries to talk him out of it. She provokes the funeral march out of the musicians nearby.

Juan brings his woman home and grunts, me did this. Sophi of course looooves it. They are just delusioned over each other and say again that finally they will marry. And Vicente sings on.

Coyote Mama is trying to talk her son out of committing a nasty revenge crime like any good Ma would. He says he can't forgive and will get revenge if it's the last thing he does. Me thinks it will be.

Raq remarks she heard that Coyote wasn't convinced. She asks Mama if her grand plan is still in place for tonight and Mama replies yes more than ever.

We flash back to Crabby taking Eva's daughter. Soph comes up and wonders why she is crying. The gist of this conversation is that if Soph was her daughter instead of Ruth would she forgive her for giving her up? Of course Soph White says she'd never turn away Eva, and even if she doesn't have Ruth, she has Soph. Blah blah.

Padre shows up to the hacienda. Feo teases that he has nothing new to confess right now. Padre tells him he has a signed letter that Feo tried to kill Abuelo Acevedo. Feo laughs this off until Paddy Tad tells him he has a witness. Just then Ruth comes down the stairs asking what is it you wanted to see me about Padre? Impactado Feo is what we are left with until tomorrow.
