Caray, Caray!

News: Stupidvision changed the “fin” date back to the 20th, as of the commercial I saw tonight.

Not sure what part of this was from last night – I didn’t see it and it wasn’t mentioned by Nickster. Tio and Juan are in the kitchen and Tio tells Juan he’s going to ask Maria Esperanza to marry him, but he wants to know how Juan asked Sofia. Juan reminisces. Ruth and Eva are worried about Root – she’s been missing too long. Sofia says they should go to the cabana and look around, maybe they’ll find something. Gabi overhears them talking. Feo is in the cabana and goes to hide when he hears Sofia and Eva coming in. Feo’s hiding behind the counter in the kitchen with his gun ready. They find the dagger. Eva thinks the dagger might be Darth Uribe’s and that Darth tried to kill Paddy Taddy. Gaby comes strolling in and tells Eva and Sofia to get out. Sofia wants to take the dagger to Officer Mutton Chops, because maybe it was the dagger used to try to kill Pad Tad, but Gabi won’t allow her to take it. Eva says Gabi is protecting a murderer.

Rigo tries to talk to Juan, but Juan’s mad because he thinks Rigo left them for dead in the cave. Rigo fesses up to fainting and says it’s possible the tumor is back. Rigo cries, and Juan hugs him.

Gabi says Darth is dead it can’t be his dagger. Two men come in and Gabi tells them to take Eva away. Eva says it’s not fair to put Sofia in this position, she’s leaving on her own. Sofia leaves with Eva.

The boys are talking in the kitchen about setting a date for their weddings.

Rigo is crying and talking to his son. Rigo asks G-d why this is happening to him now, when he has everything. Eugenia comes in and tells him he’s lying, he’s going to leave her just like her father did. She walks out.

Que milagro, it’s a partially full moon. Feo and Gabi are in Gabi’s room, she tells him Sofia found the dagger and she’s sure Feo used it to try to kill Pad Tad. Gabi says now she wants Feo to kill Sofia – she gets in her way, or she’s an obstacle (“me estorba”).

Juan and Sofia are talking in Sofia’s room. She’s told him about the dagger and they’re trying to figure it all out. Juan changes the subject to tell Sofia that the brothers have decided that they should have a triple wedding – Sofia is thrilled. They kiss.

Oscar and Jimena are in bed with their red satin pillow – he’s given her the engagement ring back. They’re muy feliz together. He puts the ring on her – more kissing. Shirtless Oscar has actually put on red devil horns to wear in bed. Now I know who buys the silly men’s thong underwear with the elephant trunk in the front that’s supposed to be funny.


The Frederick’s of Hollywood de Ciudad Serdan must be doing really well. Recession? What recession?

Oscar and Sarita are talking about getting married and how they were already married to each other once before because she was drunk. She kicks him in the leg again. He pretends to be really hurt, but he’s got an engagement ring for her too. Frederick’s must be right next to Zales at the mall in the pueblo. Anyway, Sarita is thrilled.

The hacienda is rockin’ again, so please don’t come knockin’ – all three couples are getting’ busy, and all three engagement rings sparkle and glow.

Later on Juan tells Eva about the triple wedding. Eva says she wants to make Sofia’s wedding dress. So far Sofia has had two now – the one that Juan bought her, and the two piece she was going to wear the last time. After she’s finally married, Sofia is going to open up a David’s Bridal right next door to Zales and Frederick’s. Juan is happy that Eva finally believes Sofia is her daughter. She says now she has no doubt. Before, with Rosario and Root, it was because she was just so desperate to find her daughter that she believed what Crabi told her. But this time it’s different, she feels it in her heart. Juan calls her his mother-in-law and they hug.

Sofia and Gabi are talking. Sofia wants to know why Gabi isn’t interested in figuring out what’s happened to Root. Gabi tells Sofia that like all of her daughters, Root was a traitor also. Gabi doesn’t care if Root is dead or alive. Sofia says her mother never stops surprising her – Sofia leaves. Gabi says she doesn’t care if Sofia dies just like Root. Gabi makes Joan Crawford look like Carol Brady.

Rigo is in the doc’s office in Puebla with Juan waiting for the results. The tumor is back. Doc says not to lose faith, they have treatment options. Juan tells him he can count on him and his brothers for everything.

Quintina is in town with her motorcycle. She asks a cute young guy if he wants a ride. He says no, but wants to know where he can find a woman named Quintina. She says she’s Quintina. He tells her he wants to take her out to dinner to the finest restaurant in Puebla. She’s ridiculously flattered.

Sofia is telling Pad Tad about the dagger she and Eva found in the cabana. The gang’s all there – the sisters, the brothers. Pad has a flashback to the night he was stabbed. They tell Pad they think Ricardo Uribe tried to kill him. Pad knows it was Feo so he changes the subject to talk about the three couple’s first “platica matrimonial” – marriage discussions. I suppose it’s like the classes you have to take here in the US if you want to get married in the Catholic church.

Up in Crab’s room, she and Feo are discussing the pending weddings. Gabi won’t allow the weddings to take place. Feo’s planning a trap for Sofia in the cabana to kill her.

Quintina is in the restaurant with her cute boy. He wants to be her business partner, but she wants to talk about them getting married. His wife walks in and he kisses her. Quintina tells him he’s a traitor. He explains he wants to be her business partner in the stripper show. Quintina is embarrassed.

Crabs tells Sofia she thinks Sofia’s right – they should try to find out what happened to Root. Sofia says yes, but she can’t right now. Crabs lays on the big guilt trip that everything always comes before her. Sofia says fine (of course). Rosendo comes running in to tell Sofia that her father’s horse is sick and he could die. Gabi is thrilled that Sofia’s time to die will come soon.

Sarita comes slinking up to the cabana door and thinks she’s heard a strange noise. She hesitates before going in.

Eugenia the drama queen is taking the baby and leaving Rigo. But he finally tells her about fainting and that the tumor is back. She cries and holds him.

Sarita goes into the cabana to look around. As she passes through a doorway she’s hit over the head. She’s unconscious on the floor, bleeding. At first Feo thinks he’s hit Sofia, but then realizes it’s Sarita. He actually says, “Estupida Sarita!” Once again, as Paula said, “Curses! Foiled Again!” Now when was the last (or the first!) time we saw Sofia wear jeans – never!! He can’t believe Sarita screwed up his plan to kill Sofia. He grabs a heavy candlestick to give her a final whack over the head with, but then stops and realizes he needs to think the situation through. He’s even more pissed off when he realizes Sarita is still alive.

Juan, Oscar, Jimena and Franco are waiting in Pad Tad’s office to have their first “platica matrimonial”. Sofia comes rushing in and apologizes for being late and explains about her father’s horse being sick. Jimena asks for Sarita, Sofia thought she was with them and didn’t see her back at the house. Franco says he’ll worry until they find out where she is. Also, it’s pretty hard to have a platica matrimonial with yourself. They decide to go look for Sarita. Pad looks worried.

Back in Crab’s office she’s talking with Feo who I thought was supposed to be in hiding. He’s explained to Gabs how he confused Sarita for Sofia. She says it’s Sarita’s fault anyway, what the heck was she doing in the cabana. He tries to play nice guy and says he didn’t want to hurt her daughter. She tells him not to worry about it, and again, that it was Sarita’s own fault for being where she wasn’t supposed to be. She says the only thing that really bothers her is that their plan to kill Sofia got screwed up. She only hopes that the hit over the head doesn’t leave Sarita hurt, because then she’ll become an obstacle for them. Feo says he would have thought that she’d feel a bit more for her daughter, wasn’t Sarita her favorite? Gabi says the only favorite she has now is herself! The only thing she cares about now is her happiness and her future. Feo says he’s by her side, what does Gabi want him to do? Gabs says put Sarita in her room, and when she wakes up they’ll tell her she had an accident and that they found her in the cabana. Who is “they”? Feo’s dead to the rest of the world, right?

Quintina tells the Maria sisters that Arturo only wants to be her business partner, and that she’ll never get married. Blah, blah – they give her their statues of San Antonio (Patron Saint of Spinsters, I’m sure.), who will help her.

Back at the cabana, Gabi and Feo are moving Sarita’s body, but have to be careful not to let anyone see them. Sarita starts to wake up and is mumbling something, but says Feo’s name. Feo hits her and knocks her out again. Gabi looks on. How can a mother actually watch her own daughter get hit like that!

Sofia and Jimena get back to the house and are looking for Sarita. At the cabana Feo and Crabs are nervous about Sarita remembering what happened – when she woke up she may have seen Feo. He tells her Sarita said his name. She’s sure Sarita won’t keep quiet. Feo says Sarita will turn Crabs in also. He offers to disappear from Crabs life forever so that he won’t cause her any problems. But she says no, he’s her happiness. They can’t let anything get in the way of their happiness. She tells Feo that like her, he’s not afraid of G-d, and that if they’re going to be condemned for eternity it may as well be for something worth it. He says, so you want me to kill Sarita? She doesn’t answer him and just walks out of the cabana. Even Feo looks shocked and thrilled that Gabi could be so cold-blooded, and that he gets to kill again. I actually think he may be starting to fall in love with Crabs for real!

Jimena and Sofia come down the stairs and run into Crabs. They tell her they can’t find Sarita. She tells them not to make a big deal out of it (“no hagan una tormenta de un vaso de agua” – don’t make a rainstorm out of a glass of water”). She asks if they’ve checked the store – they say yes, she’s not there. Gabs says she’s sure they’ll hear news of her soon and walks up the steps. The girls are shocked.

Full moon again! Obviously the whole day has passed, it’s nighttime and Franco comes in and tells the boys and Tio Elf that he can’t find Sarita anywhere. Franco is really worried, but the boys reassure him that she’ll be fine.

At the cabana, Feo, is caressing Sarita’s body with the dagger. He leans over her and tells her she was always his favorite.

PadTad is praying, he’s sure that Feo has done something to Sarita. He recalls his conversation with Sofia about the dagger she found in the cabana. The door of Pad’s office opens all by itself! Pad thinks, the cabana!

Back at said cabana, Feo is unbuttoning Sarita’s blouse – and telling her before he sends her off to the “other world” he’s sure she’s going to enjoy this as much as he will. He’s practically a necrophiliac!

Franco has arrived at Pad’s office – Pad has called for him. Franco asks if he knows anything about Sarita and Pad says yes, he think he knows where she is but before he tells him, he wants Franco to promise that he won’t do anything to compromise himself. Paddy is talking in “can’t tell what I heard in the confessional” code and Franco doesn’t understand. Pad says just go save Sarita, but be careful, and don’t do anything else if you encounter the person who you might encounter. Huh? Franco says he doesn’t care about anything but finding Sarita.

OMG, I can’t tell if Feo is in pain, or if he’s “finished”. I think I just threw up in my mouth. He feels inside his shirt and his hand is full of blood – his bullet wound is bleeding. He slaps Sarita across the face again hard. [Why is it her fault?] He gets up off of Sarita and says he’s got to take care of his wound or it’ll become infected again. He picks up the dagger and looks like he’s ready to kill her when he hears Franco calling for Sarita. Feo runs to hide and Franco busts in and sees Sarita with her shirt open, lying on her back over the coffee table. He runs to her and covers her up. He tries to wake her. Then he goes looking to see who else is there. Feo is waiting behind a door with the gun pointed – the door slowly opens, but Sarita starts to wake up and Franco goes back to her. Franco carries her out of the cabana. Curses! Foiled again, Feo!

Happily Gabi sits in her office thinking Feo must have carried out her instructions by now. She goes to the window and sees Fernando. She goes outside and Feo has told her what happened with Sarita and that he really needs to leave town this time. She says no, he only needs to hide out for a while. He tells her it’s too risky if he stays, and that maybe it should be the end for them both. She’s confused. He wants her to play dead too, but first she should sell everything without the girls knowing and then once she’s “dead” they can take the money and go far away. He says the girls can even bury her – she can pretend to be dead. She totally freaks out at the thought of being buried alive and screams no, she’ll never do it. He tells her to think about it, nothing will happen to her. He says it’s their only way out; she needs to think about it.


Franco has taken Sarita to the doctor’s office and the doctor says aside from the two hits she’s taken to the head, she’ll be fine. Now they just have to wait until she wakes up. Franco is staying the night to take care of her. Franco tells the sleeping Sarita he loves her. The rest of the clan comes barging into the dispensario. Franco explains what happened, and that Pad Tad told him to go to the cabana. He explains how he found her with half her clothes off and unconscious from the hit over her head. Juan says he suspects who might have done it.

Gabi is pacing in the office thinking over Feo’s proposed plan to be buried alive. [Note to Gabi: Time to buy the book “Bad Men and the Women Who Love Them: How To Leave a Co-Dependent Relationship with a Necrophiliac Serial Killer”.

Franco thinks his off-key singing will bring Sarita back to life and he’s right! She wakes up. The clan comes barging in again; they all want to know what happened. She says she’s alive and that Feo is alive too! Everybody is impactada!
