Corazon Salvaje, #96, Fever All Through The Night

Review: Gabe and Joel are with the Villareal's and everyone is thrilled that "Angela" is back. Gabe hugs Salma and tells her he doesn't believe a word she is saying, he knows she is an imposter and he is going to unmask her. Juan is still talking to the ring, holding it up that it looks like a star, saying she will accept it. Regi is waiting in her room, hoping he will come and give it to her. We go back and forth a couple of times, Juan, Regi, Juan, Regi.

At the puerto Noel and Gabe are strolling along. Noel says it was so happy at the de Marin household, but he noticed that Gabe looked concerned and looked at Salma in a special way, that he doubts her. (ya think?) Gabe says, yes I do doubt her, I am certain she is lying. Noel says it is a delicate matter have to go carefully. I thought she wasn't tell the truth, too, but where did she get the dress, then? Gabe says he doesn't know, but he doesn't believe her. I know Griselda and she doesn't care about anything except for money. Noel looks like, Ohhhh, I see. If your suspicions are correct, what are you going to do? Investigate, of course. Noel says he will give Gabe his support and help to continue to investigate so they can find out if Salma is lying. They shake on it and walk off arm in arm.

At the de Marin house, Salma is continuing to be smothered in the motherly embrace of Mariella while she remembers Gabe telling her he knows she is lying. She asks Mariella if she can go to the gypsy camp to say goodbye to Griselda and thank you. Mariella says no way, you aren't going there tonight, I just found you. Salma tries again, whining, I will be seen as an ingrate! Mari says, no, we will go early in the morning, and you can say good byes give thanks, whatever, but right now, no, you can't leave me, as she clutches Salma to her bosom some more.

Beautiful red morning sky and we are at the casino. Phillipe and the girls decide they have to go right now and talk to Rod to find out what happened to Brigitte. (Everyone sure gets up and dressed early). They demand that Rod tell them where she is. Rod looks puzzled and pretends not to know who Brigitte is and tells them they are mistaken. They persist and say she said she was coming to see you and we don't believe you. He denies that she ever was there and gets the maids to back him up. They say the only visitor they saw was Leonarda. He says Leo left late and she will confirm it as well. So go look for your friend somewhere else, she is not here, get out of my house and have a nice day.

Leo is sobbing on her bed, "he has never loved me, never" boo hoo hoo. Clemencia enters and Leo sobs, don't bug me. But what is wrong Senora, why are you crying? Rodrigo has been abusing me, he has always abused the great love I have for him. Clem looks disgusted, so now you finally get it. I told you over and over that it was a bad, impossible love that was only going to bring you sadness and pain. (I could have told Clem that was not the thing to say.) Leo changes the subject and says that Clem is guilty, guilty! Because she knew about Aimee and Juan and Regina being in love with Renato and she kept silent. Clem says, yes I knew, but what could I have done? I may be guilty of this, but how come you didn't know about any of it? Leo looks taken aback, I'll tell you why, because of your own immoral love, you did everything for Rodrigo. Leo tries again to blame Clem. Clem asks Leo how she can criticize Aimee when Leo and Aimee are exactly the same. Both married without love and both cheated on their husbands. Leo is incensed, shut up, shut up!! And you know what, says Clem, I think you are both going to end up very much ALONE. Get out of here says Leo, get out of here right now! Clem leaves with her nose in the air. Ha ha Leo. Leo then starts to crumple up again - Alone, ALONE, SOLA!!!

We go to the other cheating beatch who is as usual admiring herself in her mirror. It has dawned on her that if she is going to convince people she is pregnant she'd better start looking like it. She takes some cloths out of the wardrobe and experiments with different ones to see how they look under her dress, choosing a fluffy round one that looks like a toilet seat cover, ah this one, this one. She tells herself all is not lost, as we hear the creepy non-existent baby laughing in the background and she has a crazed look in her eyes.

Eloisa, Fed and Fulgencio are hanging out, and she is asking if Griselda is going to be working with them. Weirdly, Fully says she's great with the cards and I could really use her to help me make business decisions. Que? Eloisa thinks to herself, that's not bad, maybe she can be my ally, especially if Servando doesn't want to be. Suddenly she is sickly sweet - gushing that's great, you always know best my dearest husband. Fully looks a little suspicious. Eloisa says she has an appointment with the dressmaker (rolls eyes) and kisses Fully as she smugly flounces out the door. After she leaves, Fulgencio tells Fed he does think Grizzy is good with the cards but she better not betray him. Fed says, really dude? (He believes it as much as I do.) He tells Federico that Grizzy told him what a great guy Fed is and because of that he is going to give Fed the key to a special cupboard which has important things in it as proof that he trusts him. This is just a small stash and he has another big one. Fed says I've earned your trust and I won't fail you, they shake on it and Fulgencio threatens him, if you ever betray me..... Fed does his best to look brave and sincere.

Back at the Finca, Clem is looking at the portrait of Rodrigo and shaking her head thinking about Leo sobbing over him not loving her. She says to herself, that b***tch is getting what she deserves. On the other hand, my girl MdR had real love until her death. She flashes on her collision in the marketplace with MdR, thinks Jacinta sure was acting strange. I don't know the woman with her but she reminds me of someone, hmmm.

At the fisherman hut, Jacinta is making the bed and Jimena comes waltzing in repeating MdR's refrain, the sea took him away and the sea will bring him back. She talks about how happy MdR is outside expecting her son to return. (I'm worried Arcadio is suddenly going to come out of nowhere). Jacinta says she doesn't know anything about Jimena, just that she is a gypsy and has suffered a lot. Jimena tells her about her life, her mother dying, Griselda being so mean to her and selling her to the tavern guy. Then she goes into Gabriel, how she misses him. Jacinta tells her love is the great consolation, it helps us to endure.

Griselda is spying on Gabe and Branco talking on the beach. Gabe tells Branco about Salma saying she is Mariellas daughter. Branco knows she must be lying and that it is a trick of Griselda's just to get money. Gabe tells him about the dress and the memories, but Branco still agrees that it is a lie. He tells Gabe he can count on him to help uncover the deception. The two musketeers shake on it.

At the police station Phillipe, Fifi and Lulu are trying to file a missing person's report. The chief is not going to waste his guards on a mujerzuela. Lulu is shocked, and Fifi stands up for the rights of the poor and dispossessed and tells him he's obligated to help them just as much as anyone else! Aguacil laughs and still won't go along until Phillipe threatens to go to his superiors and create a scandal. Aguacil sighs like, okay, okay and calls four of the goofy guards and tells them to go look for the Senorita. Ya'll happy now? Fifi tells him he's not going to get rid of them easily, they are going to make sure he does his job. He tells them to get the hell out and leave him in peace.

At the gypsy camp, Grizzy is telling Servi about working for don Fulgencio. Servi warns her not to cross him, he will kill her for real. Just then they turn around to see the happy Villareal family strolling up. Putting on their best faces, Grizzy asks Salma how life is with her new family? Servando is wondering what the heck is going on. Salma says she is so happy, she never thought she would find her real mother, and these are my dear grandparents. Abuelo says, I don't want to offend you, but here is a little something for taking care of her all these years. Grizzy pretends not to want it, that she just loved Angela so much. The look on Servando's face is priceless. She finally reluctantly accepts the money. Salma asks if she can be alone with Grizzy for a few minutes and Mariella says okay. They go into the nearby tent as the Villareals look happy and at the same time awkward being in the camp. Servando follows them into the tent and tells them he knows it is a lie and he knows who the real daughter of Mariella is. He threatens to tell them the truth unless Grizzy shares the money with him. She does, but tells him it's not because she is afraid it is because she always shares and he doesn't. Salma then tells them about Gabe being there and telling her he doesn't believe her. Grizzy says, not only that, I saw him talking to Branco and they are together in this. Servi says don't worry I'll take care of that pair of idiots. Salma, says no, no, don't do anything to Branco, I'm hoping he'll love me some day. Grizzy looks like, get a load of this! Servi tells Salma she's such an idiot, now that she is passing herself off as a blanca Branco won't have anything to do with her. Well, Duh, she didn't think of that. Oh no! Grizzy says, you shoulda thought about that before you did it, too late now.

The two musketeers are still hanging out on the beach when the tavern owner comes up looking for Jimena. He insults Branco by saying to Gabe what is he doing with that class of people! Gypsies are nothing but robbers. Branco lunges at him saying that no one insults his people and his blood! Gabe pulls him off, but Branco tells tavern guy that he'd better be ready to defend himself next time. He then says, there may be some honorable gypsies, but I'm looking for a ladrona. She was sold to me and then ran away. Gabe looks disturbed and asks for her name. Jimena, her name was Jimena. Gabe and Branco muy impactados.

On the Luzbel the pescadores are talking about going into town and Regi wants to go but Juan doesn't feel well, so she decides to stay. He tells them all to go have fun, and they walk happily off. As Juan and Regi are talking about how happy the fishermen are we suddenly hear Flipper in the background! They turn around to see two dolphins leaping out of the water. Juan stumbles over his words talking about dolphins and trying to tell Regi how he feels and finally kisses her instead, under her hat. Then they are coming down the stairs into the cabin and Juan is saying something about there being so much moonlight, and Regi says don't you mean it is sunny? Juan says he's been working too hard. I'm confused here too as whether it is day or night as Juan then starts closing the sheets off, looking unsteady on his feet, but says for her call him if she needs anything. He suddenly then peeks again around the sheets and says, excuse me but I must tell you something important. She says I'm listening. He sits down on the bed and tells her I want to tell you I love you. You love me? Juan, I love you, too, like I have never loved anyone. But isn't this how you feel about Renato? No, no Juan, that is just a memory now. And...what about Aimee? I asked you please don't talk about that, I am in love with you. He kisses her again, but she can feel how hot he is and says Juan, you have a fever! He says Juan del Diablo is never sick!! He is unsteady stumbling, trying to tell her he has something to give her, but he is collapsing in the process with fever.

Meanwhile, Lulu is telling Noel about how Brigitte is missing, that she went to visit Rodrigo, but when they asked him, he said only Leonarda had been there. Lulu felt badly having to say that to Noel. He looks thoughtful. Gabe and Branco are on the beach discussing what that bruja Griselda did to Jimena but if they confront her she will lie about it. They are going to find Jimena.

Back to the Luzbel and Regi is trying to cope with a very sick and feverish Juan who keeps trying to get up in spite of being unable to. She gets water and something Doc Miranda prescribed and gets a cloth on his head. He is still trying to tell her how he feels, he is starting to be so feverish he is incoherent. She keeps trying to tell him to relax, while he is afraid she will leave but she keeps telling him she won't she is there.
At the Notario office, Lulu is apologizing if she said anything to upset Noel. He says no, the worst thing is to love but not be loved in return. She says you can always talk to me when you feel alone, I am your friend. He says if he were capable of being unfaithful he would have looked for a woman like her, a good and noble woman. She says, but I am not a good woman. Yes, you are, you have more nobility in your heart than these decent women at the port. But, this is getting too painful, back to the subject of Brigitte. Noel promises to help, to get on Aguacil's case about finding her. Phillipe and Fifi try the Doc's place to see if she could be there. He asks them why here? They say because she could have been assaulted and could be hurt. I didn't catch what he said.

On the Luzbel, Juan is raving about his padre and padre don't leave me. Regina keeps reassuring him, telling him she is there. He says something about being betrayed by Renato or Renato betraying him. We go to Renato being frustrated with the ship's captain because they haven't found Juan yet. The Captain is insulted and tells Ren they know what they are doing and they will find him. Ren says if he doesn't find the woman he loves soon someone is going to get hurt. Back to Juan who is becoming more frenzied and raving, saying he can't love Regi because she is a Montes de Oca! He is crying, sobbing, you are an MDO, you will betray me!! She continues to try to calm him down. He raves about Aimee and her betrayal and how he is afraid, she can tell his fever is getting worse and worse, and she is alone trying to help him. He says it is getting very dark, calls her Santa Regina, says she is his protector, he needs her!! She says I'm here, I won't leave you, I love you. He says they are all going to pay for the death of his mother! Regina says Dios mio! I am all alone, if only my kisses could help him, could cure him of his hatred.

At the beach Gabe is thinking and running sand through his hands. While not too far away at the fishermen's huts Jimena and Jacinta are preparing food. We see Servando sneak up behind Gabe, grab him around the neck and stab him in the chest. At the same time Jimena feels the pain in her chest and feels that something terrible is happening to Gabe. She runs out of the hut saying I have to find Gabriel, he needs me! Servando lets Gabe fall and runs away, Gabriel's eyes are open, he appears to be dying or possibly dead.

Ivy, tell me if I screwed anything up, like the order or something. :-)

Looks BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait to read it. Thank you.
 

Looks like it's all in order, Muchas Gracias!!
 

Oh, Ivy, thank you very much for the lovely recap! :) And thanks to Jeri for posting it.

If you don't mind I'll post the youtube links again:

I'm not a big fan of the fever scenes, for me they're very exaggarated and somehow ridiculous. However, kudos to the actors.
Btw, today I have fever, too. At work sometimes I hallucinated Reggie's words from the wedding episode (usted solo quiere burlarse de mi). :)
 

Thanks for posting that for Ivy, Jeri. I think it is sending her emails to my spam folder. Can't wait to read it.
 

Thank you Ivy, a terrific recap!

My heart bleeds for poor, sad, lonely, unloved, unwanted Leo. Doesn't it just make you want to... laugh! Paybacks are hell lady, and yours are just getting started.

Meanwhile Aimless and her pillow are getting cozy. Should be fun when the pillow pops out and falls to the floor. I just hope it happens in front of Leo. Then she'll have to realize she has no Rod, no Renato, and no grandchild.

I so hope that the Villareal's arrange a marriage for their long-lost "hija" with someone from a good family. Like say, Federico. Salma deserves nothing less.

I still think Noel and Lulu will end up together. I hope so anyway.
 

Thanks Ivy for the recap. Drat blasted right when Juan was going to give her the ring and maybe a little something something, he falls ill with the same sickness Regina had. Wasn't he delirious though as he spoke of his fears of Regina leaving him. And the ending with Gabe being stabbed. I hope Jimena finds him before he bleeds to death. Loved Clem raking Leo over the coals for her obsession over Rod. Leo doesn't seem to realize that her actions have created a mess now being played out with Renato and his obsession to save Regina from Juan. Aimee is definitely going crazy with her fake pregnancy. She should find a hobby beside staring at herself in the mirror. Loved Noel and LuLu. He treats her with respect. I like them. Even better than her and Remi sorry to say.
 

Ivy, I am so appreciative of all that you do so the viewers can enjoy these recaps. The recap was so well written, funny and complete as so much was happening last night Thank you and thanks to Jeri for posting.

Well, something was stinking on the boat and it wasn't the fish. E Y's acting was so nuanced these past few weeks, I was pretty much disappointed when he backslided to some pretty corny acting. In fact, my husband said he could hear me laughing last night from the other room. But as Aribeth says, kudos to the actors for the courage to do these scenes. And the ring cycle continues.

I'm lovin' Branko and he is quite a handsome actor. Hope nothing bad happens to him now that he is allied with Gabe. He's related to Servando but I wouldn't doubt that Servando would do him in if necessary. Gabe has to survive to be live happily ever after with Jimena/Angela, I would think, but he seems severely wounded.

Clemencia has Aimee's number. She told Leo that Aimee married for money as Leo married Noel out of desperation, I think.

Despite a bipolar regression by Juan, I am really enjoying this novela and can't wait to see how everything will be resolved.

GinCA
 

Oh, forgot to mention that I like the title. And, yes, Juan gives me fever..

GinCA
 

Ivy, what a super title. Love it. And loved the recap and all your little asides. You all are doing a great job of keeping us early-to-bed types clued in to what's going on. Wouldnt't you know something would delay the giving of the ring even more.
 

Aribeth...thanks for the video. Wow, Regina sure looks great in that hat. Makes me want to go right out and buy one. (except I hate hats)
 

Thanks, Ivy, and thanks also to Jeri for posting the recap. I haven't had a chance to watch yet. Geez, I was hoping that Juan and Reggie would seal the deal before Raving Rennie appears on the horizon. Bummer. The writers are really playing with us. I can't believe that Serv stabbed Gabe, but surely Gabe must survive because he is Jimena's onetruelove. Old Rod and Leo are definitely going to burn in hades for all their dastardly deeds.
 

Thank you Ivy for the excellent recap, and thank you Jeri for your assistance with posting it.

Jody :)
 

I can't get through the comments without addressing the issue of Juan's fever and EY's acting. As someone who has had a very high fever and went into hallucinations, I found this scene extremely well done. When the fever gets that high, you say and do things that you normally would not. His rather crazy actions were par for the course for someone with a very high fever. As I watched it, I felt pain of what was happening since I had been through it before. It may have been a little dramatized for TV purposes, but all-in-all, kudos for an impressive acting job by EY and AA.
 

If it helps, I've sort of fanwanked that the fevers shown in this novela are Dengue.

There have been several epidemies of Dengue fever, otherwise known as the breakbone fever, in Veracruz through out the years. The last big one was in 2000 and I got it along with half of my class.

It's not a regular fever, you get extreme pain in your joints, it feels as if something is breaking your bones from inside. The headaches are quite severe and your eyes burn and it is difficult to see. You get gastritis pains and rashes too. Laying down hurts almost as much as being seated or standing up.

The disease is transmitted by a type of mosquito called Aedes. Veracruz has lots of lagoons and it is surrounded by swamps and alot of green areas. This along with our humidity and tropical weather facilitates their reproduction. We have alot of anti-dengue brigades every year to avoid another epidemy but I don't know how well they managed the disease in the 1870's.

Up to today there is still no cure. The only treatment is paracetamol and cold water to help with the fevers and the pains until the sickness is gone. The big problem is when it's hemorragic because you start bleeding through all the bodily orifices so it can become deadly, today that version if Dengue is much less common here.

Here's the wikipedia entry for more info:

Jarocha
 

Barbara and Jarocha, thanks so much for the discussion about the fever! I had no idea, and it's much appreciated.

Sometimes the crazy things that go on in novelaland are not so crazy after all.
 

I got a mild case of Dengue fever when I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Haiti. It can stay dormant in your system, so it doesn't matter that Juan and Reggie have been on the high seas for a few weeks away from mosquitos. Even the mild case I had was terrible, and I can understand Juan's babbling and craziness, if he has a bad case of it.
 

I heard Dengue fever is popping up in Puerto Rico.

Unless Aimee somehow steals Rosenda's baby, I predict a little trip down the escaleras for her.

Remigio is in love with an image of a pure innocent Malu. He'll feel the same way about Lulu as Gabriel felt about Jimena the gypsy. She'll be better off with Noel, because he knows she's a ho and doesn't care. Why should he? His "upstanding" wife is ho'ing it up all over town with Rod pretending she's so moral and right.

Not once has Renato said "I need to get to the woman I love." It's all about "I need to get to Regina because she loves me. Renato doesn't want a wife, he wants a mirror.
 

What a great recap Ivy. Kind of glad I missed the fever scene. Ack! I don't think they can kill Gabe off right away. He still has an mportant part to play I think. I can't wait for them to expose Salma. She just makes me angry. Oh yes, I feel so so sorry for Leo--NOT.
 

I like the point that Anon. made about Renato. He's not in love with Regina but rather in love with the idea that she's in love with him. Renato is ticked off at Aimee simply because he sees through her bull and knows she doesn't love him. It's all about me; it's all about me; is the cry of Renato's heart. I mostly blame Leo for that, but also Noel since he never stood up to that shrew of a wife he had. He allowed himself to cuckolded. At least Juan loves Regina for who she is and not what she can do for him. This was played out by the fact that he confessed his love to Regina before she said how much she loved him. I'm sure her tender loving kisses and touches will bring him back to health. He's got too much to live for.
 

Ivy, thanks for that excellent recap. I was trying to watch the Mad Men marathon at the same time, so missed parts here and there.

"Fed does his best to look brave and sincere" made me laugh.

Regina looked really pretty last night, before Juan was overtaken with the fever and she turned nurse. It reminded me of the sudden-onset fevers in FELS. By the way, the title is hilarious.
Also appreciated the comments from those with feverish experience, giving more credence to Juan's portrayal.

I'm sure Juan will survive and assume Gabriel will, as well. I hope Jimena can find him and nurse him back to health.
La Paloma
