Sortilegio Wed - Dec 16 Ep # 50 The Man Who Cried Wolf!
Victoria and MJ get the news that Ale and Fernando are probably shipped wrecked. MJ loses it and Victoria tells her not to lose hope.
Dr. Hernan, Felipe, Vitoria and are in MJ's room. MJ's blood pressure is a little high. MJ needs to rest and be calm. MJ tells Paula that Ale was not really in NY, that he was in the Dominican Republic.
Ale, on Sortilegio island, is thinking, as young Charlie continues to nurse Fernando. back to health.
Hernan takes Victorias blood pressure and stars asking about Bruno being away.Victoria doesn't want to talk.
Ale and Fernando talk about how smart young Charlie is. He is learning how to write. Fernando tells Ale that Victoria is his life. Fernando starts walking with Ale's help.
We see Bruno arriving at the airport.
Rachel drives into the gated community where Useless lives. Rachel sees Roberto's car and is upset. Roberto has a ticket to Madrid for Useless. Rachel enters the apartment and Roberto leaves. Rachel finds the ticket to Madrid. Rachel and Useless have a few words that I didn't get, and she tears up the ticket and leaves angry. Useless mumbles that she is crazy. Rachel, driving turns a corner fast and another corner and smashes into another car. She has a bloody nose at least.
Back on Sortilegio island all the boys are hauling wood for a bon fire.
Paula gets home form school and sees Roberto all alone. Roberto asks her how school is going. Paula tells him how everyone has been on her about them being friends cause he's married. Roberto says something about Rachels lover. Paula wonders that he could be so calm. Roberto says it is not important. He walks off.
Victoria gets a call from Rachel telling her that she has been in an accident. Rachel wants Victoria to come and get her.
Back on the isle the Ale and Charlie fish using sticks as spears. Fernando looking like he is really burnt is dragging himself along that sand and stops to wince at his leg. Fer and Ale snooze.
Paula says something about Roberto to MJ.
On the Sortilegio isle Ale and Fer talk about home and what could be going on. Lots of waves making ocean sounds... that I can hear perfectly.
Ale now makes shoes out of his pants.
Bruno calls Katia at work and she is really excited to meet him. Mari follows her to the stairs then runs back and calls Arturo and tells him to follow her and let her know where she goes.
Back on the isle Charlie has caught lobster or something and Ale and Fer are really excited.
Katia is spraying herself with her favorite perfume. Arturo calls Mari and tells Mari where Katia is.
Felipe is giving EZ a grocery list when Mari calls. Mari tells EZ where Katia went and EZ says that Bruno has returned.
Our Castaways are gathering coconuts and Charlie is catching fish.
Okay so now Victoria Roberto and MJ are at the hospital. Dr. Hernan says Rachel has minor injuries. Roberto aks about the baby.
Victoria's phone rings. It is EZ. He has called to tell Victoria that Bruno has returned.
On the isle Ale and Charlie are having some kind of a conversation over the sound of waves. It gets dark and our castaways have a fire going and we see the moon. Hmm. It must mean time is passing, perhaps a month or so? BTW, not that I am complaining but why did they get rid of their clothes? Too much sun is not good on the skin.
Katia is serving Bruno and a lawyer wine. Sounds good to me...
Bruno sure is intent on correcting everyone that doesn't call him Señor Lombardo. Victoria and MJ come to Bruno's hotel. Katia answers the door. Victoria asks her where Bruno is and then tells Katia get to the house.
Victoria and MJ go out on the terrace. Victoria asks Bruno where he has been, he answers Cancun. Victoria says thats a lie. MJ wants to know what Bruno has done to Ale. Bruno says they are crazy. Victoria says she is only interested in knowing what has happened to Ale and Fernando. Bruno says he doesn't know what she is talking about. Victoria tells Bruno she wants him and the lawyers at her house in the morning and he better be coming with the truth. MJ says that if Bruno has kill Ale, that she will make sure this time that he his locked up. MJ says she now has the money and power to make it happen. Bruno's lawyer tells Bruno that he had better come clean with him if he want him to continue representing him.
MJ and Victoria are in the car. Victoria is telling MJ that she needs to go home and rest. MJ argues but finally relents.
Castaways are sleeping by the fire.
At the hospital Victoria asks Hernan how Rachel is. Rachel is doing fine. The baby girl is okay for the moment.
Roberto is talking to Rachel. I don't think Rachel cares whether she or the baby make it, and she tells Roberto that the baby could be Useless's. Victoria comes in and Victoria tells Roberto that Bruno has come back, and that Ale and Fernando have disappeared.
MJ comes home and Felipe asks for news about Rachel, EZ wants to know about Bruno and Paula wants to know if she has any news of Ale. MJ tells what she knows.
EZ calls Arturo and askes where he is at.
Victoria comes home and tells Felipe that Roberto is with Rachel.
On the Sortilegio isle, Ale and Charlie are collecting stuff inland when they hear a helicopter, and they go running and yelling to the beach where Fernando is trying to hurry and light a fire. I wanna know how Charlie can run so fast in his yellow flip-flops. How did they stay on his feet during the shipwreck? Well, it was for nought. The helicopter did not see them.
Next morning Bruno comes to the house and goes directly to Victoria's room where he wants to talk to her alone. Bruno snaps his fingers to hurry Felipe out. Bruno wants to know why Victoria is having a meeting with all the lawyers. Bruno says he doesn't know anything about Ale or Fernando. Victoria reminds Bruno of everything he has already done to get the money.
MJ tells Paula that Ale will come back.
Bruno cries and says he really doesn't know anything about Ale or Fernando. Victoria sighs.
Ale and Fernando are arguing because they didn't get rescued. Fernando is worried that Katia is alone , and what Bruno is doing with her. Ale yells that MJ is alone too, and shes pregnant.
MJ looks at Ales picture on her cell and kisses it. EZ calls MJ for some reason. Vitoria comes in and tells MJ that she doesn't think that Bruno knows anything.
Ale and Fer and Charlie are sad on the Sortilegio island.
Lawyers talk about postponing things. Bruno learns that Rachel is in the hospital. Bruno says he is not going to contest the will of his father. MJ loses and says Sure, that it is because Bruno doesn't think that Ale will come back. Bruno calls her crazy and Victoria says no, and she follows MJ out. Bruno tells his lawyer that he is withdrawing his participation in the contesting of the will. DVR ends. I drink the last of my glass of vine.

I got new television and internet services today. I was grateful that the installation went smoothly, but trying to set up my home network and fix the remote so FIL didn't have too many channels to confuse him took all the day. It wasn't till I started watching Sortilegio that I realized I had no close captions, so I hope I an not to far off base.
dpd
Bruno's crying was ridiculous. I'm a little confused. Why did he say he was not going to consent the will?
Katia deserves a slap about now. Think it's the second time she made a fat-comment about Mari. I can't stand that girl or woman whatever she's supposed to be.
I like Roberto's attitude of wanting the baby. Moving to the good side, I think. Also love the way he a) talked to Victoria about the "rape" and b) accepted that he is partly to blame for the problems between himself and Raquel.
Well, caught up on the show, now time to catch up with sleep. :)
Ok Vicki NOW you're going to backslide and support and believe Bruno?
Yes he had nothing to do with Alex and Ferudumbo accident. But they were chasing him trying to get to the judge he killed.
I'm glad MJ told Bruno in front of the lawyers he was responsible and did not listen to enabling Vicki one bit.
Serendipity thanks for the recap.
Our new tv only has closed captions if you put the sound on "mute". Thank God we still have the old one, where I can watch with both cc's and sound. Hope you're not in the same fix. If you got a new remote, along with the new service, however, that may be the case.
Fernando and Alex' six-packs are indeed awesome, Cielo. Can't complain about the island landscape at all. Stick around boys!
Poor Rack, she must have been really into Useless. No accounting for taste. But Roberto sticking by her and the baby was sweet to see. I can definitely see his character now moving to become more responsible. Just not sure how he'll fit into the grand scheme.
So MJ is getting her Momma hormones ramped up and fighting for what's hers. Whoohoo. Do NOT mess with a pregnant woman when she's on a roll.
And though it has been a pleasure watching the Beach Boys, could you just squeeze the daylights out of Charlie, it's about time they surface back home. They need some lotion for those sunburns!
D
Lola
Those boys need some sunblock. Sleeping out in the sun? How crazy is that? As someone who has fair skin I can't stay out in the sun that long. When I was in Florida we ate at an IHOP outside and I was burnt from just sitting and eating breakfast.
Raquel is such a heifer. I can't stand her. Poor little baby she will be having. There is nothing to redeem with Katia. She called Mari fat. That was so unnecessary. Good for Sherlock Mari to follow the little snot.
The only thing I have to add was Bruno's pathetic whimpering to Vicky that if she tells the lawyers everything she thinks he's done he'll kill himself.
On the conversation in the wave, seems like little 'Charlie' lost his undies/shorts in the waves while he was washing them, and he didn't want to come ashore naked. Lol! Alex thought this was funny, but was also really concerned for the little guy being out in the growing waves and ordered him to come back to the beach, sans undies. Looks like the kid's orange/red t-shirt was then turned into shorts. I love how each time they go back to the beach the each have less and less clothing on. :) But yes, those blondies do need some sunscreen.

I think it's funny that Bruno is now being accused of something he actually DIDN'T do- hurting Alex and Fer in the DR. It was the first conclusion MJ, Hernan, his lawyer, and even Vicky Queen of Denial, jumped to. And it's totally logical! What I can't believe is that Katia wouldn't suspect Bruno of foul play in the disappearance of her brother. I mean, who should she have more loyalty to? The loving brother who raised her when their parents died, or some dude she's been boinking for a few weeks?! That girl deserves whatever bad stuff is coming her way.
So after MJ breaks up the fake reconciliation meeting with the lawyers-- I mean really, why should she give a damn if Bruno is threatening to kill himself and Vicky thinks he's innocent?-- I think Bruno says that he IS going to continue to contest the will after all. D- I think you're right that he did see some other opportunities to get what he wanted with Alex out of the way and was thinking of an easier way to get what he wants. With MJ being more 'difficult' than he expected, looks like he'll have to fight publicly like he planned. Good for MJ!
-Vivi in DC
QUÉ THE ****? with the wardrobe & continuity teams? They are sooo messing with us, and I love CE's sense of humor with that. Fer and Ale's shorts lengths were like yo-yos. They varied from hot pants to clam diggers, back & forth. LOL Like Lola, I also thought I noticed the color change in Ale's shorts, that he had on white when they wrecked.
The Beach Boys definitely look like potential 3rd degree sunburns. You can get burned that badly even in the shade. They both do look sort of 'hawt' with their beards.
I did not like them sniping at each other. Nothing that a good bath & clean undies won't take care of. Maybe they'll find a waterfall and we'll get a 'FELS'shower scene, island style.
:o)
-Vivi in DC
Love how Alex told Ferdumbo you only have to worry about your sister.
Alex said i'm worried about MJ and the baby, Vicki and Felipa no mention at all of Raquel.
We finally get to see the other side of Roberto as he starts to take responsibility in wanting to keep the baby and turns to the light while The Rack continues on her path to The Dark Side.
I would like to order some more coal for Katia and maybe a truckload for Bruno.

Raquel as a mother is pretty scary and, sure enough, looks like she couldn't care less about being one. Hope she stops drinking. Interesting to watch Bobo's response. Maybe he can turn her around if he really starts showing concern for her and the criatura; that would be a good plot twist.
Am enjoying the isla interlude. However, the isla discontinuity with shoes on, shoes off, long shorts, short shorts, no shorts is distracting. Makes me think the whole TN was shot in pieces at different times. Doing the MJ and Sandra parts (when is she EVER going to show up?) means there must have been a lot of non chronologial shooting. But couldn't someone have kept notes?
Look like cute Charlie is definitely going home with Alex or did someone mention trying to find his mama?
Hope MJ stands her ground and grows into a strong and forceful woman. It could happen.
Thank you JudyB. I could hear everything except the conversions during most of the show. Hopefully I will get the CCs working soon. I do have new remotes with new provider.
Thank you D. I am thinking that Bruno is not liking the close relationship that Victoria is having with MJ. So I think it was to make himself look better is Victorias eys, but I think he is really just regrouping. Yes those boys need SUNSCREEN.
Lola I am confused also with the wardrope of our Castaways.
Kat - I can't get the Gilligan's theme song out of my head.....
Thank you Connie. "Sherlock Mari" Good one!
Kat - I did not catch that Bruno would kill himself. Thank you!
Vivi - I had no clue that Charlie lost his undies. Too funny now.
I didn't notice that he was wearing his shirt for pants.
Doris - Thank you! "Fer and Ale's shorts lengths were like yo-yos." I did notice that but I wasn't sure if it was the wine making me see things. :) I vote for a "'FELS'shower scene".

MJ is doing a good job of acting tough in front of Bruno. You go girl!
I like that that the family responded very warmly when they discovered Raquel was having a girl. A lot of times in differen cultures, girls are looked down upon, but here it was genuine happiness. Very nice.
ROFL to all of your comments on the boys' dressing. It is unusual.
Thanks Anon n Dipity for the welcome wishes.
Doris: JoAnn's Fabrics...ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! And Vivi, mandals...love it! Like moobs that need a bro.
Before I nodded off, I was enjoying the castaways & their various shades of undress. At that point, I didn't really care why they were there or when they'd be rescued. I was ogling to my gringo heart's content. Nice scenery on that island.
Sorry if I'm late on this but is Roberto our dear Ascanio from Pasion? If he loses the soul patch, his character might be redeemed.

I think Vicky is actually the voice of reason. She doesn't get swayed too far in either direction w/o clear evidence. Early on, she didn't believe Bruno did those things, because she hadn't seen the evidence (we had, but that's another matter). Later, when she heard Bruno on the phone admitting he gave the blood in return for MJ's divorce and the presidency, this was real evidence, and she was then convinced of what Bruno had done.
She then proceeded not to give him the benefit of the doubt. But in the current situation, she's still correct in not finding him guilty of murder (of Alex and Fernando) w/o more proof. MJ hysterically assumes Bruno has done it, but she's wrong (although he HAS killed the judge, but again, so far, there's no evidence of that).
It's very important for a person in a position of power not to get overly emotional about factual issues, to avoid making the wrong decisions. I believe Vicky continues to balance things well.
Bruno was pathetic with his clutching his Mama's knees, threatening to kill himself. Puhhlease! I do think he's planning some new strategy, though, in light of Alex and Fer's disappearance.
I thought it was something when Roberto expressed regret over how he and Rack used to love each other. Agree he is moving to the good side.
I didn't catch Bruno saying he would kill himself, either, wow. I can see how hard it must be for Vick to completely accept how evil he is. I doubt she is going back to full-on denial though.
Loved the Gilligan's island theme- I'm getting tired of them being there, though, it needs to move on.
Stick to one style and move on please.
Hombre once again i have to disagree with you, Vicki's sympathies and love for Bruno are being used again and she falling for it.
I believe in tonight episode from last night's preview. The woman tour director tells MJ that they found the judge dead and the last person to who was looking for him was possibly Bruno.
With all Bruno has done to MJ, Alex and Vicki, Katia. How in the world could she even think to give him the benefit of doubt i wouldn't.
Vicki has yet to learn about him ordering Pimp Daddy E to kill Meche and Gabriel. His first attempt at murdering Alex should not give him any leeway at all.
ITA after that skank heifer called Mari fat she really needs to get a good taste of how Bruno really is.
Let's hope him using her to his own benefit comes to an end real soon and he dumps her.
Bruno surprised me. At first he told Vic he went to Cancun. Then she told him she had spoken with Señora Amaya from the travel agency in DR and was prepared to fly her to Mérida to testify that Bruno had gone after the judge. She told him clearly that she knew he'd bribed this judge to disappear once he'd married Bruno and MJ under the false name of Alex. She also told him that she knew he found out somehow that Alex was going there to convince the judge to testify against Bruno and that Bruno had followed them.
Bruno tried out the same old, same old, saying it was all a plot by Alex to bribe the judge to accuse him and he'd gone there to defend himself. Vic didn't buy it. Then he fell to his knees sobbing that he'd kill himself if she said all these things to the roomful of lawyers. Vic caved.
The next scene is with the lawyers, and Bruno meekly says he's decided against contesting the will. MJ is not satisfied with this saying, of course you won't contest. You killed Alex and now stand to be first in line to inherit. Vic tries to calm her.
At the end Bruno still says he isn't going to contest the will. So I don't know where they're going with this.
Another thing: when Bruno was on the hotel terrace MJ shouted at him that now she'd have the money and the power to go after him. Bruno's ears pricked up and he started to chase her asking what she meant. MJ should NOT spill the beans about the money coming to her before the divorce can be finalized!
HdM - Bruno clutching at V's skirt & thighs, sobbing that he didn't kill Alex, was really disgusting to me. That guy is such a dirtbag.
I agree with the theory posed here that a lot of island scene shots were filmed over a period of time, and then pasted together. How else could Fer & Al's beards come in so quickly???
I doubt they'll be on the island much longer. This won't be a FELS jungle-thon. It's not CE's style.
Connie - I figured Al made the 'shoes' because the hot sand had burned the soles of his feet. Telenovela beanie hat firmly planted on head and suspension of disbelief is engaged. :-D
At least I THINK this was what I read in the actor's facial expressions.
And if this is right, Victoria will see that her son can never be trusted - about any thing. A lesson she needs. I was appalled that Vicky wanted MJ to remain quiet about Alex and Fer's dissappearance and Bruno being in the same vicinity.
Will these people never stop telling Marijose to 'tell a lie'?
Bruno doesn't know about the divorce, and nothing Maria Jose said could point to an impending divorce. Even if he did think about divorce, who would think that Alex would give all his money away to Maria Jose in a DIVORCE settlement? When they haven't even been married 6 months?
What could be implied is that if Alex is dead, Maria Jose as his widow stands to inherit and WIDOW LOMBARDO would have the money and power to put Burno's butt in jail.
Ironic, since Alex dying and Maria Jose inheriting was his plan all along.
I thought the exact opposite and was surprised that he said the second time that he would not contest. Anyone else remember which of our memories worked?
Of course, I don't think Bruno is done plotting, just that he surprised me by saying he wouldn't contest last night.
-Vivi in DC
The boys have rid themselves of their clothes so we can see their manly chests & great piernas.
I couldn't catch what Fernando said happened to his parents, except that they are dead.
I believe Roberto said he loved Raquel, is that POSSIBLE?
Bruno said he would NOT contest the will, but after sobbing to his mom & MJ yelling at him, he told the lawyers to continue with the impugnación.
Roberto said to Vicky that he used to love Raquel, but he doesn't anymore. He was very honest, and I think Vicky respected his honesty, enough so that she then shared the whole truth with him about what's been going on with Alex/Bruno/MJ.

Kat thank you for yesterday's recap. I haven't thought about Gillian's Island for a while and your "re imagining" of it was priceless.
dpd, thanks for the recap under duress, without CCs. The worst of this episode was the loud sea waves, hard to get all the details.
My thoughts:
Roberto has figured out the fast track to redemption; loving his wife's unborn child, even though it might be that of his current lover (or soon to be ex-lover) Useless. His largess with this pregnancy will send him on a bullet into the hearts of all the female viewers.
I think I understand Vicky on her Bruno wavering. I would imagine that acceptance comes in waves. Bruno is her son and like Hombre said, she needed evidence to move her over to a believer. Under the circumstances, it would be easy to backslide into denial, I think she'll come back to the right frame of mind soon.
Too bad that the Lombardos can't afford a private search, the DR is a poor country, they might not be able to pull out all stops for a full on rescue. As the helicopter passed, I noticed a HUGE bonfire that must have been 8 feet wide, I'm surprised that they didn't notice all the smoke.
The clothing changes were hysterical...other posters have covered that in detail.
Our adult castaways have such black beards, looks funny on our rubios!
The little boy with our castaways is adorable. He a great addition to the cast.
My esposo could shave in the morning & by night needed another shave. So by two days, I'm sure he could have even more beard than Alex & Fernando.
And being of advanced years, I know where your evebrows go, they drop to your upper lip.
"Alex makes shoes out of his pants."
ROFL.
"Why did they get rid of their clothes?" Probably so we would smile and keep watching instead of throwing things at our TVs.
Bruno snapping his fingers at Felipa made me want to reach into the TV and strangle him. Bruno crying at his mother's feet made me want to vomit profusely.
La Paloma
at the end around 5:30
I cked it & the lawyer asked if he wanted to continue & Bruno said por mi parte sí
about contesting the will
I really hope Mari slaps Katia at some point. It would be right up there with the slap Vicky gave Raquel...
jb
Another thing, Roberto told Victoria about Sandra, but Victoria didn't really spend too much time thinking about the danger a MJ look alike could cause...maybe it's because Bruno doesn't know about her. Hopefully, if Sandra does try to take the place of MJ, Victoria will remember. Roberto is moving to the good side, but I don't if that means he's good enough to say anything if he suspects that Sandra is around...hmmm...
I found it interesting how Roberto actually told Victoria about her. But if I'm correct, he did not mention that the girl is MJ's sister...
Also, I think Bruno said he was not going to impugn the will, and at the end, the lawyer asked whether they should stop their efforts regarding that, and Bruno said "for my part, yes." In other words, yes, they should stop. So there's no contradiction between what he said earlier and at the very end.
