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

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.
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
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. ;-)

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

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
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
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.

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.

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
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
Even in bed!

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.
