Corazon Salvaje, March 15, 2010

We start off with Juan and the gang fighting the gunrunners.

Aimee is standing on the beach in the rain looking for Juan. Samuel who is ordered to shoot anyone that comes near the caves spots her, but luckily she struts away.

Fulgencio's wife goes to investigate a noise in the house and it's Dagger Man who rushes to her and covers her mouth so that she can't scream.

Fulgencio and Federico are looking at their surroundings and wondering about the mystery owner of the home. Gabe nods his head for Noel to come over. Gabe say he called him over because he knows Noel recognized who he was and didn't want anyone to know who his patron is. Noel asks if the casino belongs to his patron. No, no replies Gabe. My patron has other types of activities.

Juan tells his men that he plans to continue fighting the gunrunners. Although they collected money and fish, so are they fisherman?

Dagger Man threatens Fulgencio's wife then kisses her. He leaves with the loot he stole.

Head gunrunner runs to the police and tells him what happened. Head policeman tells his men to go to the beach and find the fishermen. He thinks they are responsible.

Juan shows up at the party and Gabe pretends not to know him. A man comes up inviting him to a poker game. Juan accepts and is lead to the table where Fulgencio and Noel are seated. Where's the 4th player asks Juan. Rodrigo comes up to the table and they start a staring contest.

Fishermen are having a party and the head policeman shows up. Pedro drunkenly goes up to him and says are you coming to celebrate my birthday? Head policeman asks when the fandango started and how come they didn't invite him? (Not really) Santos drunkenly answers they started pretty early. Everyone starts giggling drunkenly in the background. Head policeman asks if Juan is with them. No replies Santos. He disappeared. First officer says we're not going to get anything out of these guys and they leave.

Aimee comes home pissed and Rosenda asks if she went out for another stroll again. Aimee says mind your business. I only answer to my dad and my godmother. Rosenda says don't forget about Renato. Don't you think he deserves an explanation? She gets bitch slapped by Aimee who reminds her that she is nothing and no one. Aimee laughs going up the stairs.

Juan and the boys are gambling heavy. Rod is confident he has the upper hand. Until Juan shows that he does. Juan says he would like to stay longer, but has other things to do. Rod says you have to come back for a rematch. Juan angrily remarks that Rod has no idea how much he wants to win all of Rod's fortune tonight. He laughs and says of course we'll have a rematch. Only if you promise to lose again like a gentlemen. They both stand up suddenly and have a staring contest again. Noel and Fulgencio try to defuse the situation. Gabe comes and takes him away. Rod stares at Juan's retreating back.

Gabe follows Juan out who gets onto him for following him. He doesn't want anyone to connect them. Gabe wants to find out what happened, but Juan says later. Gabe asks to step away from the casino and see Jimena. Juan gives the okay. He tells himself that no doubt love transforms a person.

Rod is smoking his cigar and Fulgencio's says it's an exciting night, but I must retire. Federico says he'll accompany him. He tells Fulgencio that he talked to Gabe again and it sounds like his patron is away on business a lot so they shouldn't worry about anyone knowing about their illegal activities in the caves.

Griselda drags Jimena and tells her that Dagger Man paid her a lot of money for Jimena's company. Whether she likes it or not, she's going. They fight and Gabe shows up and shouts "Let her go!" Griselda says I'm her aunt and am only trying to educate her. How can I help you sir, asks Griselda. I came here looking for Jimena replies Gabe. So that she can tell me my fortune and hands Griselda a lot of money. Fine replies Griselda. Gabe puts out his hand and asks Jimena about Estrella. She tells him that Estrella has a secret. If she told you the truth would you still love her? Gabe jerks his hand away and asks if that is all she has read. That Estrella has lied to him? Then I do not want to know anything more about her! My heart is broken in a million pieces. He walks away and Jimena cries and wonders what she did. How can I tell you that I am your Estrella?

Griselda tells Dagger Man that Jimena is washing up and will come to see him. He says she better not be lying. Griselda says it's true what I am telling you. I prepared you a drink that will make you more into an animal. He drinks it.

Juan has lit a fire by the shore for Aimee.

Aimee tells Leonarda that she went for a walk in the garden. Then came back to Rosenda and her many questions. She cannot take her attitude anymore. That's why I'm going to ask my dad to take us to the house in town. Leonarda is muy impactada. Aimee struts out. Leo cannot have Rod move to town and be so close to Madame Marlene. Aimee is so strong-willed and will do what she says. What can I do?

Regina toss and turns in bed then gets up coughing. She remembers her conversation with Aimee when she came to visit. How she knows Regina is in love with Renato, but chose her instead. Regina asking if Aimee has seen the guy from the ship. Of course not ever since we docked. Regina coughing again says she's pretty sure that Aimee lied to her.

Juan waiting for Aimee. He is walking around in the cave and hears a noise. He goes to investigate. Samuel tells Fulgencio that he saw a woman on the beach. Who was she asks an alarmed Fulgencio. Not sure replies Samuel. She was covering her face. I was about to fire, but fortunately she left. Juan says something as he's walking back to where he came from, but can't understand what he is saying because the rain is too loud. All I can hear is that he says that he has to be careful so that no one discovers them.

Dagger Man was drugged and Griselda stages the room with ripped clothes belonging to Jimena. She goes to Jimena and tells her that she owes her one. She saved her from Dagger Man. Where is the guy that was here asks Griselda. He left replies Jimena.

Madame Marlene tells Gabe that she appreciates his help tonight. Gabe is shocked that she is the owner of the casino. Fifi runs up to the room and tells the girls to hurry down. Jimena's love is downstairs. They look thru a picture that has holes in it. I really don't get the point of this scene except it was perhaps for the men. One lady is bathing and the other is half dressed.

Fulgencio's wife tells him that she didn't see anyone in the house and that is probably what saved her. He tells her that he will speak to the policeman to keep watch on the house. He wants nothing to happen to her. She thinks it not necessary. She's not scared and doesn't want the intruder to return.

Again with the half naked girls. No point in this scene. Gabe tells Madame Marlene about Jimena. Half naked girls giddy over seeing handsome Gabe. Madame Marlene pouring a drink for Gabe and he's spilling his guts.

Regina coughing more. Padre comes in and tells Regina that no matter how much she wants to, right now is not the time to take her vows. Regina says but I'm ready. Padre says let's give it more time.

Dagger Man has a major hangover. He tells everyone making noise outside to shut up. Griselda walks by and he asks what happened. Don't you remember replies Griselda? You were Jimena's first.

Fey Man and friends bring a very drunk Gabe home. Juan is amused and Gabe passes out.

Again with the half naked girls. They talk about Gabe and Jimena with Madame Marlene. They complain about being locked up. They want to go outside. Madame has a surprise for them.

Padre tells a coughing Regina that he has plans for her to return home.

Aimee asks Rod at breakfast if they can get the house ready in town for them. She turns to Renato and says "Of course we will come visit." Leonarda looks anguished, Rosenda looks happy as Rod says it's not a bad idea. Doorbell rings. Renato gets angry and takes Aimee's hand and says you cannot leave me. He stands up and tells everyone that he and Aimee agreed to keep it a secret for awhile, but they are engaged. In comes Regina muy impactada. Renato and Aimee spot her.

Back from break and Regina faints. Clemencia runs to her with Renato close behind. He picks her up and carries her to her room. He yells for someone to get a doctor. Rod looks like he doesn't give a crap. Renato lays her in bed and Clemencia tells him to leave so that she can take off Regina's clothes. Renato mutters softly to Regina that she must recuperate. They all care about her and need her.

Rod with Leonarda close at his heels says that Regina came back because she couldn't take being a nun. I am sure that she fainted to make a scene and so that we will feel bad for her. Aimee says I hope your right because it scared me. Rod says I hope this serves as an example. God punishes those that disobey their fathers. Don't worry about me replies Aimee. I always listen to what you say. Let's change the subject. I am so happy about your engagement with Renato replies Leonarda. Renato comes in and says I knew you would be happy. Leonarda scolds him and says why didn't you tell me? We have never had secrets before. Because Aimee asked me replies Renato. Rod says it doesn't matter. You are engaged and we are happy. Everyone hugs. Aimee not happy with the announcement.

Regina is in bed coughing. She tells Clemencia that she had to leave the convent. Clemencia said you fainted because of the announcement Renato made. Yes replies Regina. I didn't expect it this quickly. My destiny is to suffer. But what hurts the most is that I am sure that Aimee is still seeing that salvaje.

Juan chastises Gabe. I thought you were a level headed kid. Gabe tells him what happened with Jimena and how Estrella is lying to him. I understand how you feel having your heart broken. But what are you going to do if this happens again? I want revenge against the Montes de Oca. I need someone strong by my side. Are you up to this? Answer me!

Aimee comes to see Regina. She wonders how Regina's doing. Fine replies Regina. I know that it hurts to see Renato and me together. I think that's why it's best you insist we go to town. And leave your fiancée replies Regina. No, we came back for visits say Aimee. I'm only thinking of you. In town we can be closer to the doctor and go out and have fun. I believe being shut up at the finca will only make you feel worse. Think about it. Also seeing Renato everyday will make you feel worse. Regina thinks Aimee has a good reason. The doctor comes to check Regina. Aimee reminds her to insist on moving to town.

Noel tells Rod that the doctor has arrived. Rod doesn't buy it and says it's just a ploy. I will insist she marry Federico or she can go back to the convent. Noel says how can you unite her with someone she does not love? Because I am looking out for her best interest replies Rod. Noel yells that you cannot fool me! I know that she brings up bad memories. How can you condemn her to a sad life? I don't know what you’re talking about says Rod. You understand perfectly. Regina refuses to marry Federico because she loves another. And it reminds you of Maria de Rosario. Rod grabs Noel and says I told you never to bring that up again. I don’t even want to hear her name. Noel says to bad! Because what you are going to Regina reminds me of the past. But think about it! It’s you that cannot forget the past! I am telling you this. If you cannot forgive her, then you can never have peace.

Mute girl brings Maria de Rosario flowers. It reminds her of the ones that Juan de Dios gave her. They have always been her favorite.

Madame Marlene and ladies are out for a drive in the carriage. They stop at the beach where Madame Marlene says they have the whole day to spend at the beach. Of course they frolic and are giddy. Oh and half naked.

Dagger Man doubts Griselda sent Jimena to him last night and puts a knife to her throat. Jimena backs up Griselda’s story. Still Dagger Man doubts and tells Jimena that she will spend another night with him and Griselda will return his money. He tries to kiss Jimena and in comes Juan pushing him away from her.

Regina recalls Renato’s words at breakfast about his engagement to Aimee. There’s a knock on the door and Rod (father of the year) comes in. He asks her how she is. Better replies Regina. You couldn’t take the convent asks Rod. So that is why you are pretending to be sick. No. I really wanted to stay replies Regina. And once I am better I will go back. You don’t understand yells Rod. You have no desire to be a nun. You do this to defy me. Of course not replies Regina. So you still refuse to marry Federico asks Rod. I told you already says Regina. I prefer to go to the convent then marry without love. Do what you want yells Rod? Do not count on me and your sister. We will be moving to town and you will stay here. Regina asks Rod if he cares about her?

Manana: Juan tells Jimena if she loves Gabe then tell him the truth; /Aimee and Rod get into a bad storm; Renato comes looking for Aimee.

Can someone tag this for me please? Thanks.
 

I just love how how on hearing 'Estrella has a secret,' Gabe automatically jumps to assuming she's lied to him. That boy's been watching too much Jerry Springer. (Okay, sure, maybe it's the right assumption, in this case, but that's not really the point!)

The possibility that Griselda might have had a scrap of mercy and drugged the Dagger Man was actually my third thought. My first was, "She thinks he needs to be more of an animal? Good Juan de Dios, she's pervier than we are!"

My second was, "Maybe he needs Victorian Viagra."

Of course, if she'd really put some thought and effort into it, she would have bloodied the bedsheets.

'Fey Man and Friends' sounds like a show all its own. (I'd watch it, too. At least I'd know ahead of time I was getting into a comedy!)

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really like those flowered corsets the Hos have. (The depths of girly-girlishness to which I've sunk over the past few years continue to amaze me.)

What's with Santa Regina and all the coughing? Were there plague-bearing rats on La Promesa? Maybe that's why the Padre's really sending her home. Can't have the nuns dropping like flies! Who would care for all the unwanted babies Aimee'll be leaving on their doorstep? And oh, hey, Rod? You want to see someone who'd feign fainting to make a scene, take a good long look at that other daughter of yours (if you can get past her corset). She's already done it once. Santa see, Santa do.
 

On last night's episode of "Everybody Hates Reggie":

Padre tells Reggie to pump her brakes on becoming a nun;

Reggie gets a knockout punch when Renato & Aimee's engagement is announced;

Aimee taunts Reggie about the nunnery;

Reggie has flashbacks about Aimee saying NaNaBooBoo Renato chose ME!

Rodrigo orders Reggie to marry Foppy Fed or else;

Rodrigo tells Regina she will stay stuck at the finca with Leona while he and Aimee get their party on in the port;

Reggie asks Rod if he loves her and he has to think about it.

Today's episode of "Everybody Hates Reggie" was brought to you by GunRunners R Us and Madame Marlene's Casino & Whorehouse.
 

Thanks for the recap, Gloria. Very complete and fun to read.

Dagger Man threatened Eloisa, that's why she didn't tell her husband Fugencio the truth about Dagger Man (wish I knew his name).

I'm not sure, but I think Regina is staying at the beach house, while Rodrigo and Aimee are going to the townhouse. But since Renato lives at the beach house (I think), couldn't this give him a chance to fall for Regina more? I think her sickness was supposedly caused by being cloistered in the convent, and she can recover in the sea air.

Juan sure knows how to show up at the right time. How did he happen to show up a Dagger Man's just in time?

I, for one, appreciate all the half naked girl scenes. They're very important to this serious historical drama. :) The main girl (with strawberry blonde hair) is Fifi, the light blonde is Brigitte, anyone know the brunette's name?
 

Great recap, Gloria!

Aimee bugs me as much as she does everyone else, but I really started to hate her when she slapped Rosenda. Maybe Rosenda isn't Snow White, but I can make some allowances for her. Aimee is now, in my mind, a hateful b!tch!
 

Gloria:

Thanks so much for the terriffic recap. Like you, I am puzzled by the fishermen-cum-pirates story. Huh??

Mad Marley, you are on fire today. SSSSSSSST—sizzle.

As to Santa Regina, I though all Gothic heroines got consumption (TB to you and me). Right now she looks way too healthy for TB, but we will wait and see.

Final question for all, is the Seaside Cliff House computer generated? From the outside shot across the cove it doesn't look any more real than Aimee's red wig.

Another question:

Why does Gabe pretend not to know Juan?

iron Elna
 

Thanks for a great recap Gloria! There really isn't an ounce of sweetness at all in Aimee. She reminds me of some of those little dinosaurs in Jurassic Park - they looked cute, until they ripped someone's face off. Wonder what she's got in store for Renato now that he's announced the "secret"?

Gabe is cute but terminally dumb. He really can't figure out Jimena is Estrella? Really??

And I do have to wonder how Juan keeps his shirts so incredibly white? Maybe Dagger Man is related to Mr. Clean and is doing Juan's laundry?
 

Xintperuvian:

You are right. Dagger man, or as I like to refer to him, Starfish Head, is really Mr. Clean! I knew I had seen him somewhere before.

OK, are those scars real?

HAHAHAHAHAH!

Also, why does Juan wear a pirate puffy shirt (remember the Seinfeld episode?), white or red, as we saw last night? And why would a man of the sea wear thigh-high boots around the beach and on ship? Wouldn't that footwear weigh an man down if he were to be struck by a sudden wave? And who do you think makes the Zorro masks?
 

Gracias, Gloria. I need the recaps to keep some of the bits straight in my mind.
So, the wealthy guys are involved in a little smuggling on the side. The fishermen are oppressed. Madame Marlene and associates are running the casino/pleasure house. The gypsies and their circus are there for local color and a little thievery. Juan has a finger in every pie, although he mainly wants vengeance and Aimee's hot lovin'. Renato is noble and Regina coughs delicately while her heart breaks. Oh, and veiled lady rots away in a dungeon while her heart breaks. Do I have this straight or am I hopelessly confused?

QTH was going on with that so-called swim attire the three lovelies were wearing? I haven't seen that type of outfit since Hee-Haw was on the air. Not authentic, but then we're dealing with eye candy here, verdad?
La Paloma
 

La Paloma~~~That was a good synopsis. You hit all the major points....lying, crying, dying.
 

Gloria, great recap! You had me laughing all the way. I miss so much of the conversation still (after how many years of watching, that your thorough expertise is much appreciated. Also your subtle sense of humor.

Now it seems to me that the kind of stagey dry cough that Regina has suddenly developed is a fatal portent. ITA elna june. Methinks consumption, but lots of telenovela stars have coughed their way to various and sundry colorful deaths. (Doña Juana had stomach cancer.)

Hombre, I admire your attention to detail. They're all just nameless bimbos (not the bread) to me!
 

Iron Elna~~~During the winter semester when my college roommate and I read Crime and Punishment, every time either of us had a slight cough, the other would whisper ''Consumption???''
 

Gloria: Great recap and very complete. Rod as "Father of the Year" gave me a real chuckle! I tagged it for you, so now it's up.
==============
Somehow I thought the head Padre at the convent sent Regi home because she was sick. Either way, he doesn't think she's cut out for "cloisterdom" and so she's back home.
================
Hombre: I only remembered Fifi's name. The others are Fluffy and Puffy to me. : > } Glad there's a little something for everyone, though.
; > ))
============
Anon: liked your rundown of last night's "hi-lites".
 

BHJ~~~Ha...Fluffy, Puffy, and Cottontail ????
 

Great recap, Gloria!
 

Wonderful recap Gloria.

Mad Bess, lying, crying, dying, that about sums it up. I may have to plagiarize that for a recap title sometime.

Hombre, Dagger Man (Servendo) also kissed Eloisa. Maybe that's why she didn't rat him out, she's hoping for a return visit. Yeah, I know it's dumb but whatever.
