Doña Bárbara - Thurs., May. 14 - 'It's a bad day for trusted sidekicks' or, 'I'll never have to type Melquíades again!'

To protect the people at the cemetery from Sapo, DB stops the funeral and tells everyone to leave. Marisela doesn't want to leave but Santos insists. He leaves Pajarote to keep watch and let him know if anything happens.

Tigre tells the Inspector the gory details of how DB murdered the rapists.

There 's a handy abandoned church next to the cemetery for DB, Melquíades, Sapo and Facundo to sneak around in and shoot at each other.

The Inspector tells Santos and Antonio that he has a witness statement and that is enough to arrest DB. He goes to El Miedo to find her.

Melquíades kills Facundo.

Pajarote gets scared being left alone in the cemetery. He returns to the hotel and tells Santos that although he didn't see DB leave, there is no one in the cemetery.

Santos goes to look for DB at the cemetery. Marisela wants to go, too but he has her locked up in prison next to Tigre. "Didn't he stop loving her?" Mujica asks Antonio as Santos leaves to go after DB. "That's what I thought," replies Antonio, but I'm not sure any more."

Melquíades is shot by Sapo.

The Inspector goes to El Miedo where a terrified Juan Primito is all alone.

DB finds Melquíades and he tells her that he can't protect her any more. He is dying.
Sapo obligingly makes himself scarce so that Melquíades and DB can have a long goodbye scene. Melquíades tells DB that he loves her; she is his queen; he is proud to be the only man who wasn't afraid of her. DB cries for him and Melquíades is moved that she would shed tears for him. He dies.

Tigre manages to grab Marisela through the bars of the cell. She gets free and demands to be let out of the cell.

Santos goes to the cemetery looking for DB but it is locked up. When he hears shots, he climbs over the fence. Although he is unarmed when he goes into the cemetery, once he is in the abandoned church, he has a gun. Sapo gets the drop on DB and Santos.

Antonio has Marisela handcuffed to a chair when the Inspector returns to say that he can't find DB.

Thanks, Jean. That inspector that I liked so much when he was after Sapo is getting on my nerves now. It seems to me that the writer(s) have a case of authority-figure paranoia. Every official is high handed.

I thought Melquíades death scene was very touching. At last he told her he loved her.

I'm pretty sure the dardos that Melquíades gave DB are going to play a part in the events to come.

Génesis does outrage really well. So far it doesn't look like Sapo is going to get his hands on her. But, as we know, the fat lady has yet to sing!

Only 5 more! I'm really going to be sad when this one ends.
 

Thanks, Jean! As this is winding down, I'm already feeling the loss of not seeing the folks of El Progreso every week night, reading the recap and comments.

Finally DB was nice to Melquiades.

It is hypocrytical for Marisela to expect DB won't have to pay for her crimes. It's not like she stole candy. She needs to go directly to jail, but she'll go directly to el infierno instead.

Both Santos and Marisela think they are bullet-proof. They just march into dangerous situations and expect the 'bad guys' to stop and behave. I had to smile when Marisela was locked up to protect herself. Now if they could just get Santos behind bars...

Boy, this episode seems to have had almost all the cliches you normally expect from a novela. Assuming there are five more episodes to go, I think Sapo will take DB off somewhere leaving everyone else to join hands and come to her rescue.

Thanks Jean. Things are getting exciting and your recaps capture everything perfectly.
 

Thanks, Jean. Poor Melq. He spent his whole life adoring Dona. She was his raiso d'etre. We all knew that he would die defending her. However, he lasted longer than I thought he would. The actor did a very good job.
 

I very much enjoyed your wry humor coming through in this recap Jean.

Of all the awesome outfits DB has worn I think her current one, accessorizing with bandoliers, is her best. Could Edith Gonzalez possibly look bad in anything though? Doubtful.
