Doña Bárbara - Mon. & Tues., Feb. 2&3 - Marisela gets her first kiss; Antonio gets to see his baby
I'm going to try and do the last two days from memory.
Santos sees Marisela at the prison goes chasing after her with Maria Nieves in tow. Santos figures out (with María Nieves' help) that Marisela must be staying with Maurice. He realizes that Maurice´s address must be on the documents evidencing the sale of his family´s house to Maurice. In the process, we learn that Luisana and her father who were close to the former president, have fled the country after the regime change. Santos finds the address and talks to Maurice while MN gets drunk on champagne.
Maurice tells Santos that Marisela doesn´t want to see him and won´t tell him where she is. Maurice tells Santos that since Marisela came to the Capital, finished her secondary studies and is in the university. She is learning English and French, is a wonderful teacher and has lots of friends. Santos guesses that Marisela is probably teaching at the school Maurice founded in his family´s old house. He and MN go there. Marisela won´t see them and they end up sleeping on the steps of the building all night. The next morning Santos goads Marisela into talking to him by saying that she is a coward. They have their usual conversation - Marisela doesn't want to get between Santos and DB while Santos wants to be friends with Marisela.
Finally Santos kisses Marisela - her first real kiss. She obviously enjoys it a lot but when it's over, she hits Santos and accuses him of leading her on. Marisela retreats inside the school. Santos kicks open the door and follows. In a cute scene, Marisela´s students reveal to Santos that she is behind a door.
Meanwhile Antonio misses MN's release from prison. He is angry with Lucía and tells her that he isn´t interesed in seeing her anymore. He just wants to go back to the Arauca and see Cecilia and his son.
It turns out that DB´s plan to get Santos back is to give a big welcome home party for Antonio. This plan crashes and burns when Cecilia sees right through it and refuses to cooperate and Melesio says that he is too old to drink and dance and would rather spend a quiet evening with his son.
Antonio has an ecstatic reunion with Melesio and the terneras. He goes to see Cecilia and after a sweet scene where he meets his son, he and Cecilia have a fight about her not coming to visit him. She tells him that she did come but found him kissing Lucía. He accuses her of having sexual relations with Lorenzo. It degenerates after that and Cecilia tells him that he can see his son whenever he wants but that they are finished.
Lucía tells her father how upset she is that Antonio isn´t interested in her. When Don Encarnación asks why she is so fixated on Antonio, she says that although she feels fine, she doesn´t think she has that long to live and wants to enjoy it with the man she loves. (Could it be that both Antonio and Cecilia will have tragic romances before they end up with each other?)
Antonio comes to see Lucía and tells her that he and Cecilia are finished and he wants her.
When DB finds out that Antonio has come back without Santos, she is consumed with rage and jealousy. Then she opens an anonymous letter addressed to Santos that says she is a murderer. She accuses Cecilia and Mujiquita of writing it but they deny it. She is sure that Santos is with Marisela. When Santos does come back, she lays into him, asking why he went to the Capital without telling her, accusing him of being with Marisela. She is outraged when he goes to sleep in another room. Santos finally admits that he did see Marisela. Santos goes to sleep in Marisela´s room and it suddenly comes to him that he is in love with Marisela (duh). Then DB slinks in to try and seduce him.
MN has a joyous reunion with Pajarote and Carmelito. He tells them that he has learned to read. They tell him about his rival for Altagracia´s affections.
Sapo meets with BP and tells him that he knows about the oil at La Chusmita. (It is obvious that he is the source of the anonymous letter.) Sapo also meets Mujiquita and pretends that he is interested in investing in some business interests in Progresso.

Is the man who met with BP and Mujiquita El Sapo? For some reason I thought the guy last night was just one of Sapo's cohorts and that we had not yet actually seen El Sapo's current face. Maybe I just forgot what he looks like from the beginning of the novela, but I thought he was uglier than the guy who spoke with Mujiquita.

Ok mmm some inaccuracies. Santos kissed Marisela right when she saw her. The night before, he got drunk with Maria Nieves and he was still in denial about his love for Marisela. During the conversation they had (which wasn't really the usual, it was a beautiful one finally!) Santos asked her "What do we do now Marisela? What do we do with these feelings?" which is a clear sign that he was acknowledging at least to her! that he was feeling something other than brotherly love for her. Then, at the bar, he denied to MN again but he finally admitted that "Yes, he is in big trouble, sleeping with the mother and in love with the daughter" But he just like Marisela realize that their relationship is virtually impossible because even if DB died, she would still be in Marisela's memories (and those memories ruined the magic of Santicela's second kiss which was awesome btw) Anyway, thanks for your summaries. I'm personally loving Santicela and I wish DB would just die. She is so tedious and annoying lately.

Novelera, no, that was not El Sapo. El Sapo is older.
