El Talismán #73 Fri 5/11/12 It's a Slapfest in Fresno and Mi Cheque of Course

 

Has life been unfair to you Mademoiselle? You've met my Mother- M. Hercule Poirot.

Today on El Talisman:

Pigorio in pj's is in his room talking to Lucrazy. He asks her if he can have her part of Alcatrash, so sorry Daddy already gave it to Tonio. She feels the ranch isn't important, he is really mad and tells her the only thing she cares about is Pedro, it is a sickness and obsession for her. He tells her Pedro only loves Cameela. She is pithed.

Pedro goes to see Santiago again and promises him, he will get him out of there, but it takes time, and he makes Santiago promise he won't run away and stay put, until this mess is straightened out.

Tracy and Alberta are in the kitchen,serving Papa Beltbuckle, Flor and Fabi dinner. Tonio asks the girls what they talked to their Mama Doris about? They want to know why he is digging for info? Flor stands up and yells at him that Cameela is way more important to him, and he doesn't care for his own girls. So of course being the Jackwagon that Tonio is asks them if his happiness counts for nothing? Fabi is standing up too and reminds him according to Army, Cameela is marrying Pedro, and only Pedro. Tonio backhands her. (I was hoping that Tracy would pick up the black iron skillet and whack him one). Flor gets in Tonio's face (you go girl) and asks him why he hit Fabi? He grabs them both and asks if they understand he is marrying Cameela, si or no? They just look at him, he lets them go and leaves. Alberta and Tracy are muy impactada. When Tonio goes into the hallway, he says to himself maldito indio, its all your fault Cameela doesn't love me. (Get a clue Beltbuckle never gonna happen.). Tonio also thinks his daughters may be right.

Pedro is in bed thinking about Santiago, as is Cameela in her own bed thinking of Santiago. They both can't sleep. Both are praying for Santiago. Cameela comes to Pedro's room and locks the door and he asks if she is ok? She says she can't sleep and climbs into bed with him. They are just about to get en flagrante, when Pedro gets a call, wait for it, en flagrante interruptus. It is Mariana wanting to meet him and tell him about some woman that came for, on the count of three, MI CHEQUE! She wants to meet now, they want to wait till tomorrow, but when Cameela hears about the cheque she knows who it was. Pedro agrees to come see Mariana now, and tells her, he is bringing Cameela. See M. Hercule Poirot's quote above.

Madame Gasbag, aka, El Viral has come home in a bad mood from her attempt to collect, MI CHEQUE, from Mariana. Army and Angel are there, and she says nothing is good, everything is bad, blah blah. Army wants to know what she is blithering about, she tells him to have some consideration it's all about her, the universe revolves around her, don't cha know. Army tells her to get over herself to stop the drama and the chantaje (Thanks Blue Lass) and to just get over herself. She turns it back on him and says all his universe involves is Fabi. She isn't even decent, well Army gets right in her face and tells her she isn't so decent either, it was HER plan to seduce Fabi and blackmail her for money and didn't she do the same for money with The Pig? Well the gas has built up in her brain and, wait for it, THAR SHE BLOWS AGAIN, and she slaps Army. He tells her Fabi is a decent girl, and here we go again with the Gasbag's threats, One day you will regret it. (Note to El Viral: Go to Tia Maria and get some pills for that constant ache in your head, like GAS-X know what I'm sayin'). She leaves the room and Army tells Angel he needs to find a job and get out of this apt, he can't live with The Gasbag anymore. She doesn't support anything he does and besides El Viral doesn't likeFabi, and neither does Fabi's family. He tells Angel he needs to find a place so he and Fabi can live together. Angel reminds him her family won't like that, but Army doesn't care. He tells Army to relax. The Gasbag has come back and the boys have had enough, and before she blows again, they want to go. She tells them thanks for inviting me to go with you. They leave. (Seriously, ya Gasbag, after the way you insulted your son, your nephew and the way you are with your family, You move out. Just sayin' I hear M. Brigette has an opening. Lots of money there, jus' sayin')

Fabi, Flor and Alberta are in the girls room and Fabi says she has had enough, her Beltbuckle Papa cannot treat her like this anymore and she is going to escape with Army. She really wanted to live with Mama Doris, but both Fabi and Flor suspect she is living with a lover and that's why they can't live with her. Flor wants to know if she is going to live at the university, but Fabi says no, with Army. Flor is sooo not down with this and says she will bear the brunt of anger from Papa Beltbuckle is Fabi leaves. Alberta is worried if Beltbuckle finds out Fabi escaped with Army he will kill him. Fabi tells Flor she will always have Tracy and Alberta to look after her. Flor is not happy. (Note to Fabi: Don't leave your poor sister there, take her with you and don't look back.). Alberta wanted Fabi to wait and think about what she is doing, tomorrow is another day and things will seem different. Fabi says no, they will never change.

Panchito and Tracy are in the kitchen and she tells him what Beltbuckle did. Panchito calls him an animal and he is telling Papa Pig about this.

Pedro and Cameela are at Mariana's apt and she says this Gasbag, er, El Viral was making her nervous. Do they know who she is? Cameela tells her its her Mother, (See M. Hercule Poirot's quote above). Why is this woman looking for money from me. Cameela apologizes for the Gasbag, er, El Viral and Pedro tells her it is a long story. Cameela and Pedro both tell her about Don Bernardo selling El Tal to Estagone, how Estagone lost it in a poker game with the Pig, how Pedro won it back, how Estagone killed himself, and how the CHEQUE was to save Cameela's family from the street. Cameela tells Mariana she didn't know Pedro had done this. Pedro explains that the check surfaced years later, when the Gasbags, non-millonaire husband attempted to cash it. Pedro tells her it is her money and not necessary to give any to the Gasbag. Now that Mariana know the whole story she feels better. They tell her they are worried about Santiago, and she knows who he is. They want to get married as soon as possible to adopt him. Pedro asks Mariana if she trusts him now? She says she does and feels so much better.

Panchito visits Pigorio and takes his blood pressure. It's not that good. Panchito says he is very strong, but Pigorio says he will be dead soon. Panchito pooh, poohs this and tells him all he needs is rest and he will stay with him tonight, and if he needs anything Panchito will be right there. (Note to Panchito, your Pig of a father so doesn't deserve you, you are WAY too good for him). Of course Pigorio tells Panchito the only thing I need is Doris, oh where o where has my little Doris gone, oh , where oh where can she be? Pigorio calls her maltida Doris again and she better not be working at M. Brigette's or he will kill her. Doris is, wait for it, ES MIO. Pigorio tells Panchito that Lucrazy gave her part of Alcatrash to her Beltbuckle brother. Panchito leaves and Pigorio goes to sleep. He is tossing and turning and wakes up screaming Doris' name.

Doris is with M. Brigette again and tells her she will only go back to Alcatrash if Pigorio honors her ultimatum of marrying him. She thanks Brigette for letting her stay with her. And Brigette tells her to go to her room and stay out of sight. Doris goes upstairs and Lucy is there. She tells Doris the joint is hoppin' tonight and there are lots of clients.

Lucrazy is in the kitchen and asks Tracy if she thinks her Beltbuckle brother loves her? Tracy she runs at the mouth and says nah, Then she apologizes to Lucrazy and Lucrazy says you're right.

Val comes in and asks Tonio if he is ok? The Beltbuckle tells him I don't need your opinion, and wait for it, LARGATE and Callate. Valentin leaves and Lucrazy comes in and tells him she was his accomplice at getting half of Alcatrash. She reminds him Cameela is in love with Pedro and his fantasy is not gonna happen. Beltbuckle tells her Cameela will be Senora Antonio Negrete, for better or worse. (Dream on there Beltbuckle). Lucrazy and Tonio start to argue and hiss at each other. Beltbuckle calls her loca, and she says Estupida Cameela, I'll kill her. Beltbuckle says if you kill her, I'll kill you. You'll be dead. She reminds him that estupida is with Pedro and in love with him, and that is why Cameela must die. Cause then Pedro will be free don't cha know. He tells Lucrazy to Callate. Lucrazy says Pedro and Cameela have to be seperated, (yeah like that is gonna happen). She accuses him of fooling her into giving him her quarter of Alcatrash. She tells him he is stupid and all he ever talks about is Cameela, he grabs her and twists her hair. She tells her Beltbuckle brother that Cameela hates him. He lets her go.

Valentin and Panchito are in the hallway hearing all this fighting. One of them says that Lucrazy is hysterical, ya think, and has many illusions, I'll say. Panchito says he won't say anything and he doesn't care if they kill each other.

Manuel is in the office and Maria comes in, she hopes she isn't interrupting anything, but she needs her wallet. He says come on in, I'm not busy. She goes and gets her wallet from her purse and leaves. Now he goes over and, wait for it, snoops in her purse. (NEVER, EVER snoop in a ladies' purse, personally I think Maria should have put a mouse trap in there, just sayin'). He extracts her keys from the purse and puts them in his pocket, what have you got planned there Doc? And what is with his hair? It is looking mussed and tossled. Maybe new hair product, jus' sayin'.

M. Brigette is greeting johns, er um , clients and in walks, wait for it, Lucas the bomber. It's a miracle your here. He says he is looking for a diverson,and she offers him Suzette, who he likes, but doesn't want. He wants Doris. She tells him Doris isn't available. He reminds her he is an investigator for the Pig. She says oh, yeah I know, you are not only his investigator, but a fake notary and a killer. She tells him Doris is not available to him and he says he needs a diverson and if she knows what's good for her, she better send him to Doris. M. Brigette does. He goes into Doris' room and of course she asks him "Que Haces Aqui", he says he likes her and works for Pig. She is Pigorio's favorite woman. She asks Lucas if Pigorio is looking for her? He tells her if she does him , he'll tell her and also all of Pigorio's secret.

There were two scenes of Padre with Gabe and Sarita with Domitilla, each perturbed at the other. Sarita says if Gabe won't marry her, she may as well be a nun. Gabe tells Padre he loves Sarita, but is so not ready to marry her.

Lunes on El Talisman:

Pedro and Lucrazy are in a barn and Lucrazy sets it on fire and says they will both die.

Comments:
Really both El Viral and the Beltbuckle were way over the top. They both need a slap upside the head. Who is running Alcatrash while Tonio plots and doesn't pay attention and Pigorio is out for the count. No wonder they have plaques.

El Viral needs to go to M. Brigette's toute de suite and apply,it is the only place in town she can get the money she wants.
 

Thanks for the funny recap, Madelaine! I am going to start watching now. It's driving me crazy... who say's "don't cha know"? I can hear it in my head, the accent and all, but I am drawing a blank. Sarah Palin? No, it was before we all that, I think. Someone from SNL?
 

Madelaine, how are you managing to recap so many shows? Have you cloned yourself? I am in awe. And you do such a clever, funny, thorough job in all your recaps, too.

El Viral...wow, what a piece of work she is. No matter how many people tell her she is not in any way entitled to any money from Mariana, she just won't give it up...and doesn't see how her behavior toward everyone over the years has diminished her chances of getting anything.

Flor and Fabi need to run far and fast. Nothing good will come of staying in that toxic house, especially now that their dud of a dad is melting down and turning on them.
 

Rosemary ls Otra- did you ever watch "Bobby's World" it was a cartoon in the '90's my daughter loved when she was little. Bobby's Mom used to say it all the time and I thought it was cute. The voice of Bobby was done by Howie Mandel.
 

Julia thank you so much. I love your awesome recaps for UFCS too. The Gasbag is a piece of work. I bet she never gives up trying to get that cheque out of Mariana. I am afraid her next target is Manuel.
 

Bobby's World? I don't think I ever watched that. It must have become a catch-phrase that I heard somewhere else.

I wonder why Pig Estupido doesn't consider he is being poisoned again. Nobody suggest that to him! The sooner he goes, the better.

It seemed like Lu was calming down there for a bit and accepting that Pedro no es suyo. Antonio sure knows how to get her revved up. She is berserk! Avances show her saying "we will die together" in the fire with Pedro.

Doris was reading an article entitled "Why We Love Bad Boys". Do we? All you Gabino lovers.

R la O
 

Love the Poirot quote. Sooo to the point. And Elvira! "The gas is building up in her brain again," jajá. She can't get far on a tank of normal, can she?

My favorite line from the epi was when Elvira told Army that he had no business mentioning her slutty past IN FRONT OF STRANGERS and Angel cleared his throat and said, with great dignity, "I'm not a stranger, and may I remind you that you're in MY house." Good boy.
 

I love Angel. He might be my favorite character now that Antonio is letting the dark side win and Gabe and Sarita are on the outs. I really enjoy how he handles Evilra, and he's a good influence on Armando. In addition to the "I'm not a stranger" remark, I also liked when they were saying "want to see a movie or something?" "Nah" and then El Viral came back and he immediately changed his mind and said "let's go see a movie." She really does need some Gas-X to deflate her head.
 

Angel is such a great character. You can see the difference in the way the boys turned out as to which one was raised by Elvira and which by Maria. I thought it was funny when Armando angrily said something to the effect that he is so mad at him mom it makes him want to get a job and move out.

I'd say Tia Maria is currently my favorite character since we aren't seeing much of Ren and Stimpy. Where are those two? I would have loved to have seen more of the aftershocks of Renato and Elvira discovering each was broke. I don't even know if Elvira knows that Rita is not his sobrina, but his amante.
 

Thanks for the recap Madelaine. And you get a really big gold star for doing two different TNs.

Blue Lass - ITA regarding Angel's calm demeanor when he called out the Gasbag is the one living in his house. I howled and was tickled I actually understood what he said.

I like both Angel and Maria. And yes R la O Renato and Rita seem to have disappeared which is sad b/c they were a pair of schemers who were all bark, no bite and often hilarious.
 

Madelaine, there you go again finding the perfect quote from my favorite detective. I was laughing so hard when I read it, I knew EXACTLY what you meant. You are in the recapper hall of fame with all your El Tal recaps AND Una Familia. Where do you find your energy? Oh and thank you for the THAT SHE BLOWS AGAIN! Yes, I can laugh at the same joke over and over.

I like everyone's comments about Angel and his influence on Armando. I also loved his comment to Auntie Elvira that she was in his house. I used to think she needed humbling but now I think she has some sort of mental disorder and can never feel humility.

Man, there goes LuKrazy again, losing her suspenders in this episode and the next one too. She gets crazier every day.

I thought Alberta the maid looked very fetching in today's episode. The Negrete sisters really need to stick together. I hope Fab doesn't leave poor Flo.
 

Thanks everyone for the great comments. I thought M. Poirot's quote was perfect for El Viral. I couldn't help but put it here, especially since she was pestering Mariana about it.

Loved how Angel gave it back to El Viral too. I didn't understand exactly what he said to El Viral but it was perfect.

RlaO- I don't know if the Pig knows he is being poisoned again. He should remember from the last time these are the same symptoms, but he tried to get Val to get a doctor out to see him, but Val didn't go, cause Beltbuckle stopped him. As far as Rita and Ren go, they are still suing Beltbuckle so I think we will see them again at some time. They haven't given up yet.

I just love to write and I love doing these recaps they are alot of fun, especially snarkiing on the characters lol.

Cap'n- I don't get why she was wearing suspenders. They were bad tiny spahetti type straps and they kept falling off lol. She is getting crazier all the time. The Pig tried to tell her she was obsessed and Pedro was like a sickness for her. I thought last week she had an aha moment, but now not so much. I think the writers ought to give her some amnesia and turn her character around. The only good Negretes are Fabi and Flor.
 

Thanks Madelaine. I really enjoyed this this morning. My favorite line:

"NEVER, EVER snoop in a ladies' purse..."

I'm not a lady and I know that. I'm not understanding why this guy isn't more alarming to you ladies than he seems to be.

He is almost harassing Maria, he blames Elvira for his own stupidity, and the way he treats Mariana is downright creepy.

I guess in contrast with the Pig, Antonio, Renato, and Lucas he's not so bad. However, so far, I'm not trustin' this guy.

Was the Pig even told that he is being poisoned? I think Dr. Raul only shared that information with Antonio.

Carlos
 

Carlos- I did think it was creepy that he went thru her purse. I like him generally, but we have so many bad guys on this TN I hope he isn't one of them.

No, he wasn't told he was being poisoned, but the first time the doc told him, he should remember exactly what the doc told him now. I think he suspects. Poor Panchito keeps giving him more pills without realizing what is in them.
 

Carlos, I agree with you about his creepiness. At first I thought maybe it was leftover ñañaras from his character in ENDA, but now I'm pretty sure he's not much better here.

His relationship with Mariana is just weird. It's nice that he's taken her in and helped her, but considering her his daughter seems like going too far, especially since she is an adult and not so much younger than he is (well, maybe there's a bigger age difference between them than between Antonio and his daughters, but that isn't saying much).

Plus, he doesn't seem to take any responsibility for the way he ruined things with Maria, and now he's being pushy about getting back together.

Plus, he goes to all the trouble of moving to Fresnot, but then doesn't really help Mariana find out about her past. Why aren't they trying to look up old friends, digging up the newspaper stories of her disappearance, investigating the land title transfers, etc.? They don't have to rely entirely on stories from people they don't quite trust. How did he get to be a shrink?

Julia, what are ñañaras?
 

Julia, I can't understand why Manuel didn't talk to Raul more about Mariana, that made no sense. Especially since Raul told Manuel that he is Mariana's godfather and was a good friend to Don Bernardo, or at least Manuel could go see El Capitan. Pedro and Cameela both told Mariana there was an investigation into her disappearance. Go figure. El Capitan did mention last week he wanted a meet with Mariana. Maybe that will happen this week. I don't know, I think they are drawing this out till the end, maybe?
 

Madelaine, I think it's hilarious that you use Hercule Poirot quotes because our little Belgian would have had the Mariana mystery solved in about half a day. Heck, Encyclopedia Brown would have it solved by now. Fresno PD must be a two-man show and they must be very busy, nothing else explains their seeming disinterest in Mariana.

Hey, I just saw Lukas doing a McDonalds Cherry Berry Chiller commercial! He still looks like an assassin, lol.

Madelaine, have you seen Julia's Una Familia vocab list? Not sure if this link will work:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsZzo9zuWs_4dFdoTFA4Z2w5NVRXWFNrQURyX3R2TXc#gid=0

Her translation for ñañaras = fear, the creeps, heebie jeebies.
 

Ah, yes, thanks, Sylvia -- should have looked there first.

Madelaine, the Manuel/Raul conversation was cut short by SONIDO DE BIPPER. Ya can't fight that.
 

Blue Lass so true so true. I guess maybe he wanted to keep kissing Maria and completely forgot about Raul, since his beeper went off. lol.

Thanks for the Vocab list Cap'n
