Fuego, Wed., Jan. 21: The only test Juan could ever pass...

More making-out with passed-out persons. Nice. Juan wakes up and is insistent to go get the girls to protect them. Sofia and he argue about who gets to protect the girls.

“Hello Padre. Let me emphasize my ass in your face. Let me curve my back over the couch for you. Let me stretch my arms to the ceiling, giving you the false appearance of double E’s.” No, no. I have come to combat evil, and if that means only half pretending to see you air hump me, we will consider my fledgling self-restraint a success. Apparently Rooty has information which can save Gramps. Salvation and repentance are not sexy, Paddy. She only ruins marriages, not fix them. Seeing that her seductive minutes are numbered, she goes for the “let me lie down and expose myself to you” in a desperate attempt, but PadTad can barely interpret his own feelings, let alone the ultra-mixed signals of an overage, oversexed societal reject.

Speaking of unstable “marriages,” Juan is explaining to Sofia that he never wanted sex with who’s-her-face, it just happened because “they” drugged him. “Ah, I see. I’m confused. That’s why I’m going to make a decision that will change our lives.” Or not really…

Whattayaknow, Jimena still hasn’t flown the coup, and I thought for sure Tijuana was gonna be her big break…

God, what is this? Everyone is having a shitty day around here. Sarita, barer of all things shitty, tells Oscar, who from this point forward will be eternalized as “Cheney” that Jimena is “leaving.” How he didn’t see this from his ever-contemplative state, I don’t know. He wheels away in fury…

I still have no idea who this chick with the painted scar is, but we will call her Shelly. Shelly tells Raquel to face her fears and face her husband. Face…tehe…

Cheney begs Jimena to come back, but she’s nearly made it out the door, and she’s never looking back. He loves her, but she doesn’t know if she loves him. They hold hands.

Gabi tells Hubby that she doesn’t trust anyone around here, not even her own newly-found daughter, Root. Who is “probably getting it on with you [Fernie].” She’s so quick, that one.

Juan is still paranoid that the daughters aren’t safe at the compound. It’s breeding season, after all. Still, he’s content that Sofia “understands” why he was caught with Root. Oscar is sad about Jimena’s slow but sure departure. When he needs them most, the bros. tell him to forget about her because he was a prick from the onset. So he does what they say and decides to fidget with the combination on Fernie’s safe.

Sofia is caught praying in PadTad’s chambers. I always wonder why all the main characters never pray where the normal heathens pray. “Now more than ever,” her kids need a babysitter, and her mother is evil. What should she do? “God is good, child. Honor your mother and father. But it is also written, father: don’t provoke your children.” Does it really say that? Just then he goes of on a preaching rant about parents who are only interested in themselves are evil, and the children are good. So, you’re saying that me hating my mother is perfectly godly? Yes, child, it is.

The nuns are itching to go home and take care of the children. I feel a musical coming on.
Shelly has come to see Gabi. She wants Sofia to know that Gabi isn’t her mother. How sad are you when you hit a blind crippled Scarface? Why is it that the scar changes form and location with every scene? She’s insistent to leave. Oh, her name’s Soledad, Shelly for short.

So even though it makes her an even bigger hypocrite, Sofia’s going ahead with the DNA testing per the attorney’s recommendation. *Putting on my legal/fiscal hat* Never do wills, do trusts. Never leave assets to your children with clauses like “have an heiress on the third moon of the summer solstice then lose it at a waterfall. Taking off hat…

So, naturally, like narcotic/human trafficker father, like narcotic/human trafficker son, Coyote is the “son” of Ricky Uribe. Shelly urges Coyote to accept this and move on. He can’t. So now, like some of the other lost characters, he has telenovela dreams of vengeances, but amateur film abilities of realizing them.

After understanding that DNA was a blood test and not a code for “I killed your sister,” Juan agrees to test the orphans. So will they brand the real kid or what? I won’t even mention how this would never happen in our childcare system. Well, after what was probably the only test Juan ever passed, he gets the results and pulls his crippled brother out of bed by his dead legs and takes him to the bus station. It wasn’t good enough, though. Eva actually had to restrain him in the wheel chair. Something similar happened earlier today when they told Cheney about Guantanamo…

While her parents are arguing about marrying for love or money, Root comes in and blames them for her messed up life. Somebody’s been watching Jenny Jones again… She heads for the bars, while Coyote aims his gun at her. She stands a better chance of crashing into an exploding tree… oh, wait, that already happened.

Not surprisingly, Jimena never made it out of town, and “forgot” something back at the ranch. She accidently kisses Cheney.

Tomorrow: Sofia is “this close” to telling everyone about Root and Fernie. Oh yeah, you all have two days to get out, because I’m now the owner of everything. Root’s going to pay big-time for her adventures.

*Kiddies, I'm exhausted. I'm in over my head with school, and as much as I love you, I can't do this anymore. So, I will do my best to finish my days with FELS, but when it's done, I'm done. Thanks.

Oh Nick, I will be so sorry to lose you. First your mother, then you. But I understand and hope you'll come back some day! signed, your proud blog mom...
 

I'm convinced, now, that the FELS writers are watching this site. After frequent comments about the continuously full moon, tonight, for the first time, I think (at least since I've been watching), there was a half moon. Hmmm...
 

Nickster - I will miss your witty recaps but as a Mom, myself, ITA that your school work is way more important than FELS. Take care and hang in there with school.

Nic..
Thanks for my morning laugh.
And thank you ABC for the return of Lost, a place that defies the laws of physics (only it is part of the plot, rather than just really bad writing and lack of knowledge regarding basic scientific laws).

Now then thank you for prudent observation. Yes, when you are a ginormus Tool, don't attempt to carry your box. What's next? Perhaps a commercial for Hovercraft.
 

Well done Nickster. I must have fallen asleep because I don't even remember that scene with Root and the Padre! Does Coyote whack Root or not? I say that he is playing with her again. What do you guys think. Somebody's got to die soon because we are getting close to the end it looks like.
 

Oh Nickster, thanks for hanging in with the Dementos of Mexidoom & giving us a few laughs the next day. Here's hoping the FELS replacement is not nearly as unintentionally comedic.

Missed the Rutting Root & Pad Tad tete a tete. This show relishes twisted sexual scenarios, doesn't it? Where else would stalking, S&M, and Oedipal hookups appear as normal in the game of love? [gag]

Anne: yup, I saw the half moon too. Perhaps it will slowly wane as we near the grand finale.

I think Coyote will scare Root, not shoot her. He seems to prefer mind games over brute violence. Maybe he'll deftly pop whatever it is that's nestled between her perky boobs and BOING! they'll be free at last.

Why did I-Juan-A-Brain have to strip for his blood test? Or the snake bite on his leg? I get the feeling the only way they hang on to viewers is give up cheap thrills. (apparently, it's working with a few of us!)

Maggarita
;-P
 

Lets make some kind of "map" so we can figure out where everything is. Anybody want to take a whack at it? We can safely assume the market, church, and dispensario are all together in the town but how far is the Hacienda Augustin from town as well as Hacienda RR?
 

Hi Beckster! good to see you dropping in. My DH ws glued to the TV last night with Lost, also. He borrowed my telenovela beanie hat so he could thoroughly enjoy it, too! BuaHaaaahaaaaa

Maggarita - I would like some more cheap thrills from FELS in the form of the Bros. Reyes going swimmming, or a good shower scene. Root's chartreuse bra was a little bit over-the-top the other night. But I did like the red bra hanging on the chandelier. I wonder how many "takes" it took them before it landed right.

Anne - I, too, wondered if the moon will start waning also as we approach the Por Fin. It's been a long, luna-tic haul here in Mexidoom.

I will never ever watch another Salvador Mejía produced novela again, even though I have thoroughly enjoyed the company here at CarayCaray. Call it the "FELS effect." I wouldn't have stayed with it if not for my fellow Mexiloonies. ;-)

Thanks, Nickster~~~And so it goes. I am hoping that all the villains are dispatched soon. I was happy to see the promo for ''Manana es para Siempre.'' It can't arrive soon enough. Those nuns must be the mothers of the little girls because when the girls see them they yell ''Mama !!!!'' and they are not looking at Sof . As much as I love Eduardo , I have had it with this crazy plot that just spins round and round and never advances. And I'm tired of Pad Tad's breathless whisperS as well as Root's trashy noncostumes. Basta.
 

Nickster, I immediately recognized your style in the title and first sentence. It's always a pleasure to get your take on the happenings in Mexidoon each week. Like the others, I was dismayed to see that you are leaving us. Of course you know that every one here feels an almost familial pride in your intellect. We shall all miss your biting, irreverent, and precocious recaps. Of course school comes first. Study hard and make us proud. Well, it looks like things are picking again. Maybe the fact that the moon is starting to cycle again has had an effect. Good to see Oscar on the mend. As a physician I'm amazed at Juan's recuperative powers. It seems that he's like a cat with 9 lives. The poignant scene at the depot between Ximena and Oscar reminded me of an old CW ballad: Take Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissing You Goodbye". Carlos
 

Sorry to see you are leaving, Nick, it's been very entertaining every thursday morning, and reading your 'caps. Thank you, and good luck at school... Yes, the waning moon portends a waning plot, no waning gibbous, straight to the halfmoon, next, the crescent. But the lunacy did not wane with the moon...What made Sofia decide to do the DNA deed now? Now that Jimena knows that Ricky was likely her attacker, what's she gonna do? Coyote's drawing a bead on Rootless puzzled me- she isn't wearing a hat to shoot off, and I know that even these unpredictable writers won't have him shooting an "innocent" for revenge upon a guilty party, and he's passed up on whacking his guilty papa twice already...And I, too, wondered why Juan needed to remove his shirt for a blood draw. Why didn't Sofia do the same? Should be interesting when Crabi, et al, are shown the door Ahh, the marvels of rapid Mexican jurisprudence. At least these more recent episodes contain some movement of the plot, the countdown continues...
 

Oh dear, m'hijo...I'm going to miss you too but must chime in with the dutiful chorus of YES SCHOOL COMES FIRST. And sanity and a few hours sleep every once in a while.

Still laughing about "something similar happened earlier today when they told Cheney about Guantanomo". You're wicked wicked wicked and are going straight to....well, bigger and better things I hope.

Thanks for the memories. Much fun.
 

Coyote did look pretty mad in the previews when he was aiming at Root. I don't know what would make him hate her. I didn't think he even knew her. I think her days are numbered. Who will go first Root or Darth?
 

Sorry you're leaving us, Nickster, but I understand! I wouldn't have had time for this when I was a student.

I was so excited to see the half-moon!

I wouldn't attempt to draw a map of Serdán. The geography of that place is even more confusing than the inside of the Brady house...

Anybody notice that Sofia had to roll up her sleeve for the blood test, while Juan had to take off his whole shirt?

I don't know of any reason for Coyote to hate Root other than that she's the unfortunate by-product of Gabi and Darth Ricky. By the same logic he should cut off half of his own body.

I liked Tadeo's speech to Sofia that when your parents don't love you, all bets are off. If only he'd told her that many, many months ago...
 

Another super recap! I definitely like the fact that you don't hesitate to name characters you may not have seen (Shelly!).

And good call in your recap last week, when Jimena was just about to leave in a few hours, as you presciently doubted the timetable.

I was really hoping that PadTad, after standing about two inches away from writhing Ruth for about 10 minutes, would just say, "aw, scr..w it", and break his vows once and for all!

Not that it had anything to do with the plot, but wasn't there a scene where Quintina and the two Maria's were trying out beefcake guys for an upcoming male review?
 

I'm so sick of the Marias! They are just stupid and add nothing to the story. I like Quintina even if she is a little quirky. I think she should end up with Tio Elf.
 

Melinama, Mama, Doris, Connie, SusanLynn, Carlos, DoradoDave, Aunt Judy, Hombre, Julie and the rest: It has been a blast recapping for and with you all. I so appreciate the support and encouragement you all have shown me. Calculus and Macroecon. don't last forever, thank God, and hopefully I will be back in action in late May.

Love,

Nickster
 

Nick, I smiled and laughed my way through your entire recap. Now, that's entertainment. You will really be missed. Thank you and the best of luck in school and for whatever follows.

Think Ruth is unredeemable but hope it's not Coyote who does her in. Diana in MA
 

Yes, Hombre, Quintina is starting her own group - I know they have to dance, I'm not sure if they have to sing too. Pablito was asking them for their stage names, hence "Pedro Brad Pitt Infante." Then Quintina sent the candidates to the grownup Marias for their "interview," where the Marias groped and sexually harassed them.
 

I'm telling you Julie, those two just creep me out.

Re: Juan with no shirt--I think they should have given him a nice sponge bath just to make sure he was clean and germ free. :-)

I didn't say so earlier Nickster, but I'm saying it now, I'm going to miss your wit and humor. Maybe you could check in with us once in a while to let us know how you're doing.

Beckster, good to hear from you. Hope you are still following this with us even if you are just a lurker!

Carlos, how was the surgery?
 

Coyote should kill Ruth, what a way to get back at Darth Rico! Since PadTad knows Gabi isn't Sofia's real mother he feels safe in telling her to disobey. I doubt he would advise that otherwise.

Good luck with your studies, young Nico (sorry, I called you that once, way back in the beginning of your recapping career, last May I think it was). If you don't end up writing novelas perhaps you can become a speech writer for the POTUS.
 

Connie, Thanks for asking about Bonnie B. We're still waiting for the orthopedist to notify us. We took her out to A&M yesterday and spent most of the day there. They kept her there last night for preop testing and such. The vet student called and told me early this morning that the surgery was scheduled for 10am or so, but we still haven't heard back from. If they do things like in our hospital 10am could end up being as late as 2pm. It's like waiting to hear about one of our children in surgery. Carlos
 

Thanks for the update Carlos. They are like children aren't they? I had to have a tumor removed from Storm's foot and I was a nervous wreck!
 

Nickster, as always, a pleasure. I know you have your priorities straight. Just don't forget to stop and smell the pie once in awhile.
I thought it was creepy having poor little Pablo helping at the auditions for male strippers. Kinda reminded me of "The Full Monty." However, I didn't mind watching the stripper candidates give the creepy Marias a little preview!
Carlos: Good luck with Doggoe. Any chance they will send her home with a nun to take care of things for a bit?
"Creemelo"
 

What??? Doggoe?
I meant Doggie of course!
"Creemelo"
 

I wonder if the nuns cook and clean too? I could sure use one of those. Better yet I could have one nun for each dog and they could take them out and walk them and feed them and take them to the vet... :-}
 

Okay, here's the reason Juan had to take his shirt off for the blood test....me. He's the only reason that I'm still watching this show, so the powers that be must have sensed that I needed a little body beautiful to keep me going to the bitter end. [Those male strippers just do not do it for me.] I think that Coyote is focusing on Root simply to hurt Darth. Maybe Coyote will shoot Root's wig off. That would be worth watching. And yes, I agree that Root has become as unredeemable as an expired coupon. Next to Root, Rosario seems elegant and ladylike. P.S. Nic~~~Good luck with the calculas. I can't help you with that, but if you ever need some grammar help, I'm here for you. My daughter loved math...I hated it and I still can't believe I gave birth to her...maybe there was some babyswitching involved. We're going to miss you. Any idea what field you will be pursuing after graduation? ...Writing , perhaps ???
 

The woman that plays Gabi is fantastic as is the actor that plays Fer. Yáñez is supposed to be a good actor. For the life of me, I can't figure out whether Juan the character is supposed to be a moron in this or whether Yáñez just can't pull off a convincing and strong character in the morass. Of course I guess we could say that about the rest of cast too. Too bad some decent actors had to stoop so low.
 

We did get to see a little bit of Franco in his tight pants. Not enough though.
 

Did anyone notice that when Oscar went up the elevator to go visit Juan that it made creaking sounds? But when Abuelo used it all the time you never even heard it and I don't think we ever actually saw it except for the part where Feo tried to kill Abuelo.
 

Nic, I will miss your wit but school is of the utmost importance as my parents constantly told me.

What if the DNA tests come back and Juan and Slofia are related. In fact, the whole of Cd. Serdan is related except for that one poor Maria of course. That would explain so much...this isolated burg that time forgot has no common sense, no telephones or cell phones, no t v or radio, no curiosity, bad taste in clothing, are hairy, sing off key and so on because they're all cousins. Makes sense to me. GinCA
 

Oscar=Chaney, bwahahahahaha! I was kind of thinking of Captain Pike from the original Star Trek since all he does is sit and stare. He just needs some little blinky lights on his chest!

Nic, I hope whatever you ultimately do in this world, that writing is a part of it. You have a gift and I will miss the weekly reads.

Doris, yes, more swimming/shower scenes.

Connie, yay Franco in his tight stripy pants.

Julie, I think they were just throwing us a bone with the shirtless Juan, who then cringed like a child and had to look away because of the oh so scary needle. Wasn't he poken the natives in the jungle for the doc? I don't remember him being afraid of shots then. Of course those were putting stuff in, not taking it out, must be scarier. Hmmm...I wonder if he will get another fever?

Molly in OR
 

Oh yeah, I know shirtless Juan was intended as a cheap thrill for us. It's not a problem. :-) I just thought it was funny that this was immediately after the scene with Sofia rolling up her demure little sleeve. Apparently, only men have to take their shirts off to have blood drawn!
 

Nickster,
Thank you for the entertaining recaps. Your exploding tree was hilarious! I too will miss you, but everyone else is right, school is more important. Good Luck and best wishes.
Liena, FL
 

Although with the death of Rosario I'm sure there are folks who would have appreciated a little female skin. Maybe not Sophia's. I bet if it had been Ruth she would have had to take off her pants to!
 

I think that the skank Root would have volunteered to strip down, as long as at least one respiring man was present...
 

"Did anyone notice that when Oscar went up the elevator to go visit Juan that it made creaking sounds? But when Abuelo used it all the time you never even heard it and I don't think we ever actually saw it except for the part where Feo tried to kill Abuelo."
Connie


Connie, I saw that elevator several months ago. I also pointed that out in one of my comments. I said back then that the gates look like those for an old fashioned elevator. Perhaps that is where Don Agustin went.

Ibarramedia
 

"Although with the death of Rosario I'm sure there are folks who would have appreciated a little female skin. Maybe not Sophia's. I bet if it had been Ruth she would have had to take off her pants to!"

Molly, Im one of the few males who would appreciate that. Yes even Sofia. Sofia is beautiful. They all are. My favorite babes are Rosario,Sarita,Leonora and Ruth. But like I said they all are beautiful....

Don't you guys want to sometimes pull on Gabriela's ponytail? ;)

Ibarramedia
 

I'm with Ibarramedia- Sofia really is beautiful, and a natural. Last nite's rerun of her crying, assumedly w/o makeup- she was gorgeous. I've said so from the beginning. Also, she is the one in the cast that I can always understand what she is saying. A swimming scene? Yep, that would be fine by me...Even Crabi (Bracho) is a very handsome woman, and I can understand her second best. Swimming? not so much...
 

Ibarramedia, I have to agree, they all are. But Dave is right, Ruth is a skank!

Sarita is my favorite. Even when she was being a total shrew, there was just something about her I liked to watch.

Sophia has awesome leather jackets, but I find the Audra Barkley skirts tiresome. And all the tears, man you'd have to wear a life vest to stay afloat around her!

But no, I have never thought about pulling Gaby's tail, although maybe its what attracked Feo to begin with!

Molly in OR
 

Remember at the beginning when Gabi had that repressed-spinster bun? Then, when she and Feo heated up, she turned into a wild thing with that clip-on ponytail.
Even in bed!

"Creemelo"
 

Oh yeah. You're right about the spinster bun. Good call. I totally forgot about that.

Oh and I just want to share something and give you all the heads up. If you ever want to own your own clips of Fuego, NOT that you would.... You can download Real Player 11.5 and it will the download any and all clips from You Tube, Veoh,Daily motion,Etc... Just about any clip form the internet. I have not figured out if you can download tv shows taped via Windows Media Center yet. I recorded Fuego tonight because I was watching CSI. Watching Er now.... Sorry for the OT.
