El Cuerpo del Deseo, - Fri.- Wed., Feb 6-11 - Salvador's adventure at Newton Lake with Ronny and Tommy
We start with PJ/S in his bedroom in his blue shirt. He tells Gaetana that he had another attack and believes that Salvador is going to take over his body again. They make an extremely ineffective plan for that eventuality and Gaetana gets called away to deal with Evaristo wanting to do another serenata in the bar.
No sooner is Gaetana out the door, then PJ/S turns into Salvador and Cantalicia hears him calling her.
Salvador examines his hair and beard.
Salvador escapes from Gaetana's house unseen during a brawl in the bar. He wanders along the road and finally steps in front of a car. He tells the old couple driving that he doesn't know where he is and just wants to get back to his pueblo.
As luck would have it, this couple has serious problems. Their daughter is married to a criminal named Ronny. Long story short, Salvador and the daughter's child, Tommy, get kidnapped by Ronny and his gang and are taken to a house that we later find out is in a place called Newton Lake.
Ronny is pretty unstable and here he tries to strangle Salvador, who is tied to a chair.
Meanwhile, Gaetana is crazy with worry. PJ/S has also not shown up for work and has stood Isabel up. Gaetana and Camilo call PJ's spirit.
This seems to have some effect because right when Ronny is about to shoot Salvador...
he has a seizure plus the psychic music and topples over unconscious.
We would assume that he is PJ/S again when he wakes up and he seems to be a little more alert than Salvador but he doesn't say anything. More criminals arrive and for some reason, whoever is in the body has to fight a big guy named Miguel.
PJ is not fighting back with his martial arts knowledge so it seems like Salvador is there.
Miguel knocks Salvador down, he has another seizure, and now it's clearly PJ fighting. Miguel knocks PJ down again, he has another seizure, and Salvador is back but this time his unskilled fighting defeats Miguel.
Eventually Salvador and Tommy escape from the house and hide. Meanwhile, the police come and arrest all the criminals.
Yet another seizure and Salvador falls down unconscious. Tommy runs away, is found by the police and is reunited with his mother and grandparents.
PJ/S wakes up has no idea where he is or what happened and wonders if this is a nightmare or real. He decides that it is real. He staggers off so that when Tommy leads the police to where he left Salvador, he's gone.
The next morning some bicyclists find PJ/S on a road. He calls Gaetana who comes to collect him.
And we end up back with PJ/S in his bedroom in his blue shirt, now somewhat the worse for wear (both him and the shirt). When Salvador told the criminals that he was just a peasant, they didn't believe him because no peasant would be wearing a silk shirt like that.

Thanks for your description of the fighting scenes, Jean. I wasn't sure if he was suppose to be Pedro Jose or Salvador.
Liked the interaction with Salvador and the young boy, but loved the tender scene towards the end when Gaetana runs to PJ/S.

Does anyone else think that the whole Newton Lake episode was just so Mario could show off his martial arts skills. I'm surprised he never took his shirt off.
When Salvador takes over and flags down the old couple, you feel sorry for him. Here's a man who has no idea where he is or how he got there. All he wants to do is go home. No wonder he's crying and begging the old people to help him. On a lighter note, how many of you would stop and help a dishevelled rambling man. Even if he did look like Mario?

Thanks for the update, Jean. CC: Good point about this whole tangent being a showcase for Mario's martial arts skills. I can't imagine why else they threw in this little divergence...
However, I must admit the Salvador character is much more appealing when he's cleaned up and vulnerable. (Mono-syllabic though he yet may be.) It truly tugged at my heart strings to imagine how utterly confused he must have been, and to hear him continue to beg for help to return to his wife & home. Pobrecito... He did seem to find a good bit of courage though, as Tommy's defender. I guess his paternal instincts coming to the forefront helped him forget some of his own fear. Buen hecho, Salvador.
Prinny, I also breathed a big sigh of relief once he was back with Gaetana. If I was her, I think I'd keep him under lock & key from now on. Or, under the circumstances, they should get him some sort of bracelet or pendant with a GPS transmitter attached. (If we can track animals, why not vulnerable people?) Or at the least, get him some dog tags that read, "My name is Salvador Cerinza. If I'm lost, please return me to Antonio in my big white house in Rio Claro." ;-)
