Corazón Salvaje MON 2010-07-05 Discussion thread
Just a discussion thread, if I can get this through, until the recap can be posted. Here is a list of events from the episode:
----------------
Gabriel and Noel discuss Gabriel's misgivings about Salma's story; Noel points out that Gabriel must find evidence against her and Griselda, and Noel offers to help him.
Salma remembers Gabriel's threats and tries to get Mariela to agree to let her leave, ostensibly to thank and bid farewell to the gypsy camp; but in reality it is to warn Griselda about Gabriel. Mariela agrees to let Salma go the next morning.
Phillip and the girlz visit Rodrigo, very upset about Brigitte's disappearance; but Rodrigo denies she was ever there and gets the servants to back him up. Phillip objects strenuously, but Rodrigo curtly dismisses them.
Leonarda cries piteously in her bed over Rodrigo's betrayal and complains to Clemencia about it -- who has no sympathy, calling Leonarda's love for Rodrigo a bad one. She compares Aimee's treatment of Renato to Leonarda's treatment of Noel and says they will both wind up alone, infuriating Leonarda.
Aimee stuffs her dress with linens to further her pregnancy lie; for sound effects, they have a baby crying, which was a little off-kilter, like Aimee is becoming.
When Fulgencio tells Eloísa that Griselda will be working there, she thinks privately it's a good idea and that Griselda will be her ally.
Fulgencio foolishly believes Griselda's lie that Federico is trustworthy and reveals some secrets, including his safe and secrets accounts. Fulgencio threatens if Federico even thinks of betraying him, he will be shark bait.
Clemencia notes that Leonarda is getting what she deserves, but in contrast María del Rosario was loved until the day she died. Then she strangely remembers seeing Jacinta with the woman in the plaza who reminds Clemencia of someone.
Jimena tells Jacinta about thinking Griselda never loved her and selling her down the river; that she escaped and doesn't want to go back, that she misses Gabriel terribly.
Gabriel meets Branko on the beach and they discuss their misgivings about Griselda, Salma and their lies about being Mariela's abducted daughter. They make a pact to uncover and reveal them.
Phillip and the girlz visit the sheriff to get him to look for Brigitte, and all they get for their trouble is insults; undeterred, the three persist, and finally the sheriff very reluctantly sends the guards to search for her.
Salma and the Villareals visit the gypsy camp, where Servando gets an eyeful of what's going on. Griselda feigns no interest in payment but accepts Mariela's money in gratitude for raising her "daughter."
Salma gets Griselda and Servando alone and explains Gabriel's no confidence and threat to expose them. Servando offers to kill Gabriel and Branko, but Salma doesn't want that and is worried to think she'll never get Branko.
The saloon keeper encounters Branko and Gabriel on the beach and insults gypsies because of what Griselda and Jimena did to him, and so they both learn what happened to Jimena. They want to put pressure on Griselda now, but are afraid Jimena might be hurt if they are obvious.
Shipboard all the boyz go ashore, leaving Regina and Juan alone. Down below in the captain's cabin, they both declare their love for each other, putting all others behind them.
They have a chance to spend time together, but Juan develops the same fever Regina had earlier and literally falls ill; so Regina must care for him, as he did her. She uses the same medicines Dr. Pablo sent for herself. Juan hallucinates terrifying moments from his childhood.
Lulu visits Noel at his office and tearfully explains her anxiety over the disappearance of Brigitte. When she embarrassedly brings up Leonarda's interest in Rodrigo, Noel frankly explains the tragedy of loving without being loved.
This reintroduces the sweet intimacy that is always present between these two, and they confirm their mutual respect and affection.
Noel even tells her that were he to rekindle a relationship with someone else, it might be with someone noble and good like her, who has more nobility in her heart than a lot of women on the street going about as if they were the height of morality.
Lulu says that he is an honest and just man. Back to the original topic, Noel vows to pressure the authorities about Brigitte. Phillip and Fifi visit Dr. Pablo and inform him of Brigitte's disappearance; but he hasn't seen her.
While Juan hallucinates aboard Luzbel about Renato and harming his own blood kin, Renato on the coast guard cutter is not happy with the way the coast guard is handling the hunt for Juan and Regina and gets in the commander's face about it.
Juan's fevered brain leads him to beg her not to leave him and tell her that she is his salvation. Regina is very worried about them being alone on the ship and calls out for Remigio or anyone.
Servando finds Gabriel alone on the beach and stabs him in the chest; not far away in the beach shack, Jimena staggers under the weight of a premonition and is sure something terrible must be happening to Gabriel.

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!!!
Along with you and Aribeth, I will take a dish of divine Noel. What powerful yet tender chemistry. Remigio who??
So many subplots to be resolved but would love more Reggie and Juan and Noel and Lulu.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I so enjoy the tone of your summaries, thoughtful, clever and insightful, tinged with just a hint of sarcasm "rolls eye" and "Ya'll happy now?".
I loved the courage of Philippe, Lulu and Fifi seeking to find out Brigitte's fate, standing up to Rod and Aguacil. I hope a happy ending is in store for these brave, caring souls.
Ivy, I am totally with you in dreading Arcadio's reappearance. We know he will strike before the end, but who will be his target??
