Doña Barbara, Mon. Apr. 6 - DB is still in la la land and that is making Santos crazy; Marisela finds out the truth
Eustaquia begs DB to wake up and realize that she has lost her baby but DB continues with her happy-family fantasy.
Fate or bad luck is keeping Genoveva from telling Pajarote about the baby.
Antonio beats Andrés at chess but he doesn't seem to heed Andrés' warnings about Gonzalo.
Gervasia tells Genoveva about the joys of motherhood and says that she will always be there for her.
When Santos overhears DB telling Marisela about her plans to redecorate Altamira, he yells at her telling her that he only took her in so that his wife and child weren't left out in the street. Marisela tries to get Santos to stop and DB just walks out of the room. Santos asks why Marisela is criticizing his treatment of DB and Marisela reminds him that DB is pregnant with his child. Santos tells Marisela that DB is just play acting but she thinks that there is something very strange about DB. They have their ususal argument. He kisses her, she responds but then she pushes him away and tells him not to dare come near her again.
Poor Eustaquia. After DB tells her an elaborate fantasy about Marisela's wedding and how happy DB and Santos will be, Eustaquia tells DB that Santos doesn't love her and will never love her again. DB slaps her but a few seconds later DB acts as if it never happened. Eustaquia collapses in tears.
Gonzalo gets the newspaper and the headline reads: "Embezzlement in the Cattlemen's Association - Santos Luzardo is responsible." Gonzalo decides to bring the news to Santos personally.
DB goes to the pozo to indulge in more fantasies. Santos follows her there. He demands that she get out of the water. He tells her that she was the biggest disaster of his life and that he doesn't love her. DB reacts by telling her baby that Santos is just angry with her because of lies other people have told him about her and that when the baby is born, everything will be ok.
Marisela and Gervasia give Geno advice on how to handle Pajarote. Marisela says that Geno is making a mountain out of a molehill ('tú estas ahogango en un vaso de agua,' literally, 'you're drowning in a glass of water'). She should just tell Pajarote that she is in love with him.
Well, we knew it wasn't going to happen that easily. Geno goes to see Pajarote in the caney but the odious Celeste has snuck into the shower when Pajarote has soap in his eyes and kisses him. Geno sees them.
Antonio finds that Sapo has a vehicle identical to the one used in the attack on El Miedo. The boat captain says that it looks identical but they need more evidence. (Wouldn't there have been at least one bullet hole in the vehicle with all that lead flying?) Sapo comes out and demands to know why they are invading his home.
Gonzalo shows Santos the newspaper.
Marisela finds Eustaquia crying. She tells Marisela that DB has gone crazy from grief and that she lost the baby.
Marisela is impactada.

Also, thanks very much for Friday's recap. Novelera's comment about the novel was intriguing.
Gonzalo is making me laugh now. A little obvious -> that he runs to Santos to rub the newspaper in his face.
Santos is a little crazy too. He sends his crew over to work on DB's house and work nice with thugs and murderers...

And, yes, Gonzalo's clumsy move in bringing the newspaper himself could backfire. Marisela may be trying to distance herself from Santos, but she's not going to believe him guilty of fraud. And she might put two and two together and find Gonzalo at the bottom of it. If my memory serves, Sapo paid for the crooked guy to accuse Santos, but it was Gonzalo's idea.
I can't believe that Nestor had the embezzlement story published without even asking Santos for his reaction. He knows Santos.
It's nice to see Marisela have compassion for DB - to a point. She has been more than fair to DB. But, at some point Marisela has to take care of herself and realize she matters too...
