Caray, Caray!

Last Night: Sofia is telling the sisters she’s known who killed the Reyes parents and why she hasn’t told Juan yet. Gabi and Feo are lying in bed reveling in the good news of the recent death of Coyote. We get to see Darth die again.

Feo wakes up in the middle of the night thinking how he’s going to be the sole heir of the Elizondo fortune when the ghost of Rosario comes back to haunt him once again. He’s scared to death and his eyes look like they’re ready to bug out of his head. He’s trying to convince himself that her ghost isn’t real.

The boys head over to their parent’s grave to tell them that their murderer, Darth, is death. They leave the snake belt on the grave as a prize. They’re sorry Darth died before he could be brought to justice to pay for his crimes. But, finally, Juan Jose and Maria Libia can rest in peace. Now the boys just have to find out who killed their sister and find justice for her. The boys swear o Mommy and Daddy to stay together forever.

Again with the full moon. Root is walking alone wondering where the heck her Daddy Darth is. Rosendo runs up to tell her that her father is dead. She flips out and wants to know who killed him. Stupid Rosendo tells her that Juan killed her father by pushing him over the edge of the canyon. Root screams like an animal, Rosendo comforts her.

Back at the dispensario, the boys come to tell Paddy Tad what happened to Darth. Miracle Priest is sitting up in a chair clutching a cross to his chest. Pad says the boys can finally rest because they’ve kept their promise to their parents. But the boys say no, they still have to find the killer of their sister. Juan tells Pad that Coyote told him that Libia was murdered. Then Juan tells his brothers and Paddy that Soledad told him that Eva is Sofia’s real mother. [Nobody has mentioned that Root is Gabi’s daughter, though.] Juan says he’s going to tell Sofia, the boys agree, but Pad says no, don’t tell her. Pad says he can’t tell him why, but to wait and not to tell Sofia or Eva. [What happened to no more lies?] Oscar tells Juan the Padre must know something, he knows lots of confessional secrets, and it’s better to do what Pad says and not tell Sofia yet.

Juan goes to Sofia’s bedroom to tell her what happened to Darth. Sofia wants to confess that she’s known about Darth being the one who murdered his parents, but he tells her he’s not in the mood to talk, he’d rather play hide the salami. They get down to business.

Oscar shows up in Jimena’s room and she’s thrilled that he can walk again. He says it’s all thanks to her love for him. Jimena asks what happened to Darth? Oscar says he’ll tell her later, now let’s do the horizontal mambo!

Yikes! The hacienda has turned into a bordello, because now Franco is in Sarita’s room, and since Sarita’s hair is loose and unpinned, you know she wants her pipes cleaned too!

Root busts into Gabi and Feo’s bedroom to tell them her father is dead and that Juan killed him. Gabi tells Rot she’s happy Darth is dead. Root promises revenge against Gabi for the deaths of her father and brother. Gabi tells Root she’s turned into a weak woman, she’s disappointed her, she’s more like Eva’s daughter now. Gabi throws her out of her house. Root says she’ll leave, but before she goes, once again she promises revenge against Gabi, and against Feo too! Feo reminds Gabi that her enemies are droppin’ like flies, but Gabi reminds Feo she still has to worry about Root. Why is Gabi sleeping in her clothes?

Back at the Doble R, Eva is asking Oscar, Franco, Tio Vicente how Root is – they tell her she’s distraught, and of course Eva runs to go see the daughter that always rejects her. After Eva’s gone, Franco comments about the big surprise coming Eva’s way. Tio wants to know the secret, he says he’ll guard it with his life. The boys tell him that Sofia is really Eva’s daughter, and that Root is really Gabriela’s daughter. (But this is the first time anyone has mentioned this out loud!) Tio Vicente is impactado. Talk about Quintina selling the bread, and her stripper show, blah, blah.

Over to the stripper show. The sisters compliment Quintina on her dancing.

Pablito is in the kitchen pretending to have muscles so he can join Quintina’s Stripper Show. Tio comes in and says none of that, Pablito has to go to school and study. But Pablito says he wants to be a star.

At the Doble E, Gabi’s goin’ tells Fatima to tell Rosendo to get the truck ready – she’s going into town to formally accuse Juan of Darth’s murder, but Juan comes in and says he’s not a murderer, he was only after justice, and he wants the same for her. Juan says he knows she’s been hiding the fact that Darth killed his parents and she’s got some ‘splainin’ to do. She says no way is he going to accuse the mother of the woman he loves like that. He says he knows she’s not Sofia’s mother, that she’s Root’s mother and that’s why she and Root are so venomous. Juan tells her that Soledad told him the truth. She tries to tell him that she doesn’t know who Sofia’s mother is, but she’s Sarita and Jimena’s mother and is he going to destroy their lives and the lives of his brothers? He says she’s going to jail no matter what. Gabs is definitely worried. We’re getting a whole new view of a different part of the hacienda in this scene. I know that they rent the real hacienda out for weddings, events, etc. – maybe the regular set was being used the day they filmed that scene?

Over at the Cabana, Eva tries to console Root. Root finally starts coming around, realizing she has nobody else. She says she wishes that Eva really had been her mother. Eva says they can live together and recover the time they’ve lost and start a new life together. [Eva’s been trying to get the heck out of Ciudad Serdan for a long time – wasn’t she going to run off with Rosario too?] Root truly looks happy at the thought of going far away with Eva to start life all over without resentment and hate, but full of love. Root cries, Eva holds her.

Sofia is thinking how she needs to tell Juan the truth about knowing who the killer of his parents was. Juan comes busting in and wants to go see the kids. She wants to talk. She confesses to knowing everything about the murder of his parents. Juan is muy impactada. He wants to know why she didn’t tell him. She explains she was afraid of how he would react. Now Juan is pissed off – he doesn’t understand how she could hide something so important from him. He walks out on her. More Sofia alligator tears, blah,blah.

Root, in a total hoochie mama outfit, sneaks up on Feo and is seducing him. There must be a Frederick’s of Hollywood outlet store in Ciudad Serdan that was having a 75% off sale today. They’re kissing, she wants to make a deal with him. Root tells Feo that if he doesn’t do what she wants, she’ll take the dagger with his fingerprints on it that he used to try to kill Paddy Tad to Officer Mutton Chops, and then the whole pueblo will tear him limb from limb. She says she’ll wait for him at the cabana tonight and she’ll tell him what she wants.

Juan comes yelling malhaya! back into the kitchen and tells the boys that Sofia betrayed him. Do we really have to live through another misunderstanding between them? Ugh. He tells them Sofia knew Darth murdered their parents. Juan says he’ll never forgive her. Tio Elf says he knew also, and Tio told Sofia not to tell Juan. They argue. Tio Elf explains that the boys have to leave behind all the hatred and vengeance, that part of their life is over. Oscar and Juan are mad as hell. Franco and Tio explain to Juan and Oscar that they also had kept a secret from the girls at one time. Juan looks like the idea might really be sinkin’ into that thick head of his. I finally figured out who Juan reminds me of – he’s the Mexican version of Jethro Clampett!

Sofia went running to the recuperating Miracle Padre to tell him Juan’s mad at her. Poor Pad, never gets any rest or respect. Pad tells her now is not the time to suffer, Juan will come to his senses and come back to her. He tells her to try and understand Juan, he has a big, noble heart, just like her, and has the capacity to forgive. She says this time nothing will separate her from Juan.

Over at Root’s Hoochie Hideaway, she’s writhing alone on her bed, planning her big surprise for Feo. She thinks if everything goes right, she’s going far away with Eva to live happily ever after. But first, she has to write Gabi a letter.

Juan is still trying to figure out a way to blame Sofia, when she storms into the kitchen and tells him he’s going to listen to her reasons for keeping the secret from him or he doesn’t deserve her love. The boys leave the two of them alone. She explains that she didn’t want to tell him because she knows how impulsive he is and was afraid of his reaction. She thought something terrible would happen, that he would kill Darth, or even worse, Darth would kill him. She says he knows damn well she’d never do anything to hurt him. He says he thought there wouldn’t be any more secrets between them. She says she did it for him, to protect him. Juan forgives her. Wow, that was a close one – I thought we’d have to suffer until the ultimo capitulo for a reconciliation. They kiss.

Root’s writing her letter to Mommy Crabs, to her that she and Feo were lovers, and how much they enjoyed betraying Gabi together. She seals the envelope.

Starsky, ex-Crutch, and Jethro are brainstorming about the murder of their sister. They narrow down the suspects to Feo and Crabs. Juan thinks one of the employees at the hacienda might know something.

Root gives Eva the letter to give to Gabriela in case something happens to her. Eva should disown Root for wearing that skankalicious dress! Root also tells Eva she’s decided to accept Eva’s offer to run far away with her. Eva is on Cloud 9. Eva wants to leave right now, but Root tells her she has to take care of something first.

The boys are interviewing Rosendo about the night of Libia’s death. Rosendo tells them that Feo left the hacienda in the truck that night, going very fast, like he was following someone.

Root goes to see Gabi and Gabi tries to throw her out. Root says before she goes, she wants to give Gabi a big surprise. Sofia walks in and wants to know what’s going on. Root says Gabi knows a truth that Sofia would be interested to know. Sofia questions Gabi. Root eggs Gabi on to tell her. Gabi tells Sofia that Root was the one who put the snake in the girl’s bedroom! Root and Sofia are both muy impactada! Boy, that Gabi’s a slick one!

Malhaya otra vez! The boys can’t find Feo, they’ll look for him again tomorrow. Eva runs in to tell them the good news about she and Root going away together to live happily ever after. Danger Will Robinson! One big anvil about to drop. Juan says she can’t leave. Eva’s like no, you don’t understand, my hoochie mama daughter has finally accepted me, we’re out of here. Juan’s like yeah, that’s why you’re not going anywhere! Juan doesn’t want to break his promise to Pad about not telling Sofia or Eva, but the boys tell him that he can’t let Eva go. Eva is totally confused. Juan tells Eva that Root is not her daughter, she’s Gabriela’s daughter and about Raquel’s baby swapping. Eva is devastated. She fed up with this – she wants to know who the hell her daughter is! Juan finally tells Eva that Sofia is her daughter! Eva is impactada, but in a good way.
