El Talismán #74 Mon 5/14/12 The Plot Thickens or The The Dumb Are Afoot
She's delirious. I assure you this is how she is. M. Hercule Poirot
Last time on El Talisman:
Lucas has come to see Doris. He tells her he likes her and will tell her all of Pigorio's secrets.
Today on El Talisman:
Alberta brings Pigorio some tea. He tells her he feels really bad but hopefully tomorrow he will feel better. He wants to know if Alberta has heard if Mariana has gotten her memory back. Alberta crosses herself and says she hopes so.
Beltbuckle and Lucrazy are still arguing about Cameela and Pedro. He keeps telling her to Largate and Callate. She says it isn't her fault that Pedro loves Cameela and that they are together. He calls her estupida, he calls Pedro an indio, again! He slaps her so hard, she falls down and is knocked out, with blood coming from her nose.
Mariana, Cameela and Pedro are still together. She thanks the both of them for telling her about the check. Padre calls Pedro on his cell looking for the papers from the orphanage I think. Pedro tells him to get Margarito to help him. He tells the Padre he'll see him tomorrow. After he gets off the phone, he tells Mariana they are going, but she asks to speak to Cameela alone for a moment. Pedro goes and waits in the hall. Mariana tells Cameela she can see how much her and Pedro love each other and that she won't stand in their way. Cameela tells her she was jealous of Mariana, but Mariana says don't worry. I am more like his sister now. Pedro comes back and Mariana says she is happy for them both. She understands that Pedro doesn't love her that way. Pedro tells her they will have to get a lawyer to sue for custody of Santiago. Mariana says the divorce will go thru quickly. He will keep Mariana posted on what happens with Santiago. Pedro says he is glad he has his "sister" back. They leave.
Maria has come back into the office to put her wallet back into her purse, and of course doesn't notice her keys are missing. (Note to Maria-please get a lock for that purse or the Doc will keep going thru it, jus' sayin' who knows what he will jack next). He wants to go out somewhere with her. She says she can't do that, and he knows it. He wants her to wait. He tells her their love is sooo not over (Note to Doc Manuel-please dude, get her some flowers, roses are nice, chocolates ya know the Belgian kind make them dark, take her to her favorite museum, concert, get my drift?). She leaves, while smiling really big (Note to Maria: you sure are giving him lots of signals there). He still has her keys of course, little does she know. He decides to leave too, cause here is his golden opportunity. Maria is in the parking lot looking for her keys. Manuel asks if everything is ok? She tells him she can't find her keys. He says with a purse as big as that, no wonder you can't find them. He offers her a ride home so she won't have to get a taxi. She says Angel is probably waiting for her,and Mariana must be waiting for him. He calls Mariana he won't be home right way, he is escorting a very beautiful woman home. Manuel says he wants another chance with Maria, yet again, (listen dude see advice I gave you above). She tells him, you know I can't and why, but she is smiling. She tells him Mariana is waiting for him. They go.
Lucrazy is still knocked out. Beltbuckle is trying to revive her but isn't having too much luck,so what does he do, wait for it, pours tequila down her throat. (Note to Beltbuckle: Man up and call an EMT, with the smell of alcohol they will think she fell). When he can't revive her he tells her this is all Pedro's fault. He keeps calling her name. He keeps saying it can't be. Tonio leaves the room. He goes to the small office takes off his shirt, changes into another one, and grabs the gun Val stole from Pedro.
Cut to the Gasbag, er El Viral who is having *another* pity party for one. She wants to know why she can't be happy? Why noone loves her? (Get a clue ya Gasbag, you are toxic, that's why. Get a job already and stop living off your poor daughter, your son, and most of all your sister, jus' sayin').
Tonio has dragged Lucrazy all the way to El Talisman. He leaves her on the ground, goes a short distance and fires the gun in the air. Pedro and Cameela hear it and wonder what the hey is going on? Pedro wants to go outside to investigate, Cami wants to come with, but he tells her to stay. Sarita, Gabe, Margarito and Domitilla all come in the room to to find out what is going on. Pedro and Margarito decide to investigate. Sarita says it is probably Lucrazy. Tonio is outside kissing Lucrazy on the cheek and crying. He tells her this is all Pedro's fault. Gabe, Sarita, Cami are worried Pedro hasn't come back yet. Sarita says she is very nervous.Margarito and Pedro have made it outside and Beltbuckle hides in the bushes. Pedro and Margarito find Lucrazy. Pedro checks her pulse and she slowly wakes up. She tells him her head hurts. Pedro is attempting to carry her, she asks her if that gun is his? Meanwhile Beltbuckle makes his escape and hides by the barn building. He is still crying. All in the house are very worried. Margarito tells them everything is ok. They found Lucrazy and Sarita says Lucrazy probably shot the gun again. Pedro has taken Lucrazy to the nearest building, which looks like a barn to me.
Lucrazy is starting to get some of her senses back. Pedro asks her why is she trying to always ruin his happiness? She tells him she loves him. Pedro tells the delirious woman (See M. Hercule Poirot's quote above) why did you try to kill me with a gun? Lucrazy tells him she doesn't want to be there, and she doesn't want to fight with him. Pedro says he will help her, but she has to leave El Talisman. She starts screaming like a banshee when he mentions Cameela's name. She doesn't want to hear about her, takes the Coleman lamp on the ground, smashes it, causes huge flames and tells Pedro if doesn't want her, they will die together right here. Tonio is outside this building the whole time, crying. (Note to Beltbuckle: Man up Dude, who knew you were such a wuss? Get the girl some help, put her in the manicomio, where she will be protected from your skanky ass, and maybe she can be normal after lots of help from the docs. Jus' sayin')
Army and Angel are on their way to the movies, when Fabi shows up. She tells Army she has escaped Alcatrash and wants to be with him. He tells her he isn't equipped to help her right now. No, money and living with the Gasbag, er his mother, Tia, Angel and Cameela. She begs and pleads but Army tells her she needs to go back to Alcatrash. She tells him what her Dad did to her and why she is looking for his help and she loves him. Of course guess who interrrupts this convo? Anyone? Wait for it, The Gasbag of course who insults Fabi YET AGAIN. The Gas needed to be vented, I guess. (Note to El Viral- GO to the nearest 7-11 and get that GAS-X Already!!!!!) Army tells her to shut it, and she whines and says, are you ready for this, I'm yo Mama. Angel hustles her back in the apartment and Army and Fabi finally have some alone time. Army tells Fabi he wishes he had a place for her to stay, but in a little while he will. He tells her to be calm and go back and as soon as he can, he will come get her and they can be together. He tells her not to provoke her Daddio and to be calm and do what he says until he can come get her.
Everybody at El Tal wants to go outside to find Pedro. Padre comes down from upstairs and notices the fire. He wants to know where Pedro is? Tonio is still standing by the barn, doing nothing.
Pedro tries to save Lucrazy, but she is laughing and howling and wants to die with him. The Beltbuckle finally moves his butt comes into the burning barn, finds Pedro and knocks the crap out of him. Beltbuckle saves Lucrazy and leaves Pedro on the burning floor. After Tonio gets Lucrazy outside he slaps her and tells her to Callate, she screams and he puts a hand over her mouth.
Everyone from El Tal runs outside. Margarito and Gabe go into the burning barn and rescue Pedro. Someone has called the Fire Department and the Police. Pedro wants to know where Lucrazy is? Noone knows.
Meanwhile Beltbuckle is telling Lucrazy to shut it and to say nothink. (Sgt. Schultz, couldn't help it), So Tonio goes screaming for Lucrazy. El Capitan is there with his some of his policeman as is the fire department. Pedro is screaming that Lucrazy caused this and Beltbuckle is like so not, El Capitan has to keep them apart. Beltbuckle tells El Capitan that Pedro probably did this. Pedro tells El Capitan that Lucrazy came to El Tal with a gun again, everyone in the house heard the shot. He reminds El Capitan that Lucrazy tried to kill him (Note to Pedro: Should have gone to El Capitan and pressed those charges while you had the chance.). Beltbuckle tells El Capitan that Pedro probably tried to kill Lucrazy by setting the fire and oh, by the way where is she? Beltbuckle says obvio she is still in the barn. Pedro says he tried to get her out, but then he got knocked out. He asks Beltbuckle how he knew Lucrazy was in there with a pistol? He says he was looking for her. He claims Pedro let her die in the blazing inferno. El Capitan tells Pedro, under the circumstances I will have to, wait for it, arrest you. (Note to El Capitan: Now look I know you are the hardest working cop in Fresno, but COME ON, you should know better, especially since this a Negrete, there is no body yet, so you should have waited, jus' sayin'). So poor Pedro is going to be hauled off to the Only Jail in Fresno. Cameela and all the El Tal inhabitants try to tell El Capitan that Beltbuckle is lying, but it is like talk to the hand, the ears aren't listening. Before they pull away, Padre tells El Capitan, this is an injustice and that Pedro is innocent. El Capitan says they will investigate of course, but he has to go to the hoosegow now. El Capitan puts him in the cell, and Pedro tells him you know damn well I am innocent. El Capitan tells him, that in his gut, he knows he is probably right, but for now he has to stay in jail.
Panchito went to M. Brigette to get Doris, on the Pig's orders. M. Brigette tells him she isn't there, but he tells her he knows she is there. Lucas has left, and M Brigette takes Panchito to see Doris. He tells her the Pig is doing badly and to please come back to Alcatrash. After some hemming and hawing, she goes. She goes into Pig's room and tells Panchito she is in charge now and to go. She sits on the Pig's bed and he wakes up with a start. He says oh, my children and you are against me. She assures him she is not against him, and only wants to marry him. He says he has to battle his two kids to get Alcatrash ES MIO back from them. Doris says what about marrying me? She is kissing him as she asks this. He says one day, maybe.
Angel has driven Fabi and Army to Alcatrash. Army assures her, he will come for her as soon as he has enough dinero and a place, he swears he will come for her even if she is in China. Army and Fabi are in the back seat and kissing and swearing undying eternal love. Angel tells them he hates to break up this romantic mood, but please hurry up, before someone from Alcatrash comes out. They say their goodbyes and they leave her there.
After Pedro is arrested, Beltbuckle goes back to where he left Lucrazy and asks her if she got all that. Beltbuckle thinks he has won this one, and tells Lucrazy they (the popo) think that Pedro did her in. He says Pedro is goin' to jail. Lucrazy says better in jail than with that bruja. He tells her let's go. The go back to Alcatrash and Beltbuckle hustles her back into the study. He leaves and runs into Fabi and wants to know where the hell she has been? He is grabbing her arm in a death grip and she is terrified. (Note to Belbuckle: Hell is toooo good for you, jus' sayin').
Now finally El Viral, er the Gasbag, as her pity party for one continues, she thought bubbles, Why does my daughter Cameela hate me so, Why doesn't my son Army want to be with me? (See M. Hercule Poirot's quote above). I am soo alone, boo hoo, I don't want to be alone. (Note to the Gasbag: Please take the great Greta Garbo's advice (I vant to be alone!!!!!). Anyhoo, she says, wait for it, I will get Manuel back. Oh, yeah that is SO NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
Tomorrow on El Talisman:
Beltbuckle tells Pigorio I want ALL of Alcatrash!
*Tomorrow we have joining us a new recapper, Rosemary la Otra, who will be doing regular Tuesday recaps, and on Friday, we have the return of our Intrepid Reporter, Ms Anita who will be doing the Friday recaps. *

I really couldn't help the Hercule Poirot quote again. The little Belgian is sooo wise. Beltbuckle needs to roast in hell now. Almost killing his sister is bad enough, but manhandling is daughter is beyond the pale.
And out of all the cops in Fresno, I really though El Capitan had more brains: (Note to writers: wake this cop up already, he is great, and quit messin' with his brain, jus' sayin'). Beltbuckle needs to be in the hoosegow.
Now how does the Gasbag, er El Viral think she can reconquer Manuel? I'm surprised she hasn't gone back to get Pigorio. She's stand a better chance with him, really. They are both alike. ES MIO. bwaaahaaa.

Madelaine, thanks for the Monday recap.
I did wish that Lulu had died, but no such luck. I could just see the Beltbuckle ending up in the manicomio - maybe tomorrow!
Manuel could use a self-help book in romance.

Rosemary Primera- you are so right about Beltbuckle. He needs the manicomio more than his sister does.
Manuel does need a book on romance. Maria is so not falling for him right now, although she looks like she wants to. He has a lot of work to do, especially since he fooled around with the Gasbag and dumped Maria for her. Yuk.

Can someone tell me, how putting Pedro in jail and lying to the cops suppose too help the grease ball get Cameela? She hates him now more than before.
Pedro has all these witnesses and the captain hears out the grease ball.
Am I the only one that thinks this TN makes no sense? Where is the plot? Besides separating Cameela and Pedro?

I'm with you, R la P. I was SO disappointed when Lucrazy woke up.

Odie, I think one of the original writers escaped and got to a typewriter again. They need to tie them up tighter.

Odie, I know it doesn't make much sense. Cameela so has his number as everyone else does. That is what boggles the mind about El Captian arresting Pedro. But the Beltbuckles plans never seem to work out well. I think this will come to bite him in the butt, after all there is no body in that barn.
This novels is schizophrenic. Just plain nuts it's as if they put out a hand said pick a paper and you can write whatever you want for the episode. I fell off my chair reading that Pedro got arrested, what was that. I have to agree that they really dumbed down the men in this TN. Let's hope they put this to rest soon and I hope the actors can find another job and this does not haunt them.

Nellie I know it is bad right now, but there is hope I think. After all Tonio's plans hardly ever work out and always come back to haunt him. He is still intent on killing the Pig. I think the writers need to take a big breath, burn the old script and add a better story line. I like the one with Maria and Manuel, as long as Manuel doesn't go to the dark side.
Hey Madelaine, great job on this recap! You took one for the team seeing as how the writing and plot kind of regressed. The Capitan believed Antonio? Really? But aside from that...Dang girl, you got yet another perfect quote from our favorite Belgian.
I might be the only one who feels sorry for LooKrazy. First her brother knocks her out. Then he drags her to El Tal. Then her love object roughly wakes her up and lays her on a pallet in a barn for goodness' sake. Then he (Pedro) accuses her of all sort of crap when she is barely conscious. Then she freaks. Then her brother drags her around again. All I can say is it sucks to be her.
Thanks Madelaine!

From the avances, I got the impression that Tony was going to run and tell the Pig that Pedro killed his daughter and hope he'd run off to take revenge. That way he gets them both out of the way.
Madelaine's right, it won't work, but it's impressive (in a weird way) that he keeps coming up with these things. And on short notice, too! The plotting part of his brain must have a little hamster wheel in it that never stops.

Thanks for your recap Madelaine. As Sylvia said you did take one for the team with this bad "Pedro goes to jail" plot. But as you noted Tony plans usually always come to nothing and this will bite him in the behind. Moreover, if the story allows him to "marry" Cami, everyone will know she is being forced to do this.
And yes that was another great line from Mr. Poirot.
And yes that was another great line from Mr. Poirot.
I have a different take on Pedro being in jail. I hope El Captain put him in there for his safety. He knows that both the Beltbuckle and Lulu have tried to kill him! He also knows that Pedro is a little impetuous.
Tia Maria has such a lovely smile, I hope we see it more often.

Blue Lass thanks for the advances. That would be a way to get rid of both. What I want to know is how he is going to keep Lucrazy under control where noone at Alcatrash knows she is alive. Knowing the Beltbuckle he will try to pass her off as a ghost. This should be interesting. He really can't control Lucrazy.
Rosemary Primera-that is a really interesting theory. I was really mad when El Capitan, who by the way is a great character, would suddenly do a 180 and arrest Pedro when he knows the Belbuckle's track record. It's like it made no sense, but your theory really does. I can see how El Capitan would do that. I wonder how quickly the Beltbuckle will make his move on Cameela again? He just does not get that Cameela so has his number.

Tony tried to get Lucrazy to hide out in one of the cabanas, but she said they were all dirty-nasty and refused. Not sure what he's going to do with her now.

Cap'n-you weren't the only one that felt bad for Lucrazy. I did too. Pedro should have been more gentle with her. He should have been able to tell she was in a bad state. He should have called an ambulance and put the kibosh on the Beltbuckle. The Belbuckle is beyond the pale. This is the second time he has beaten her, he is so pysco. I think the writers should have made him more sneaky, where noone really knew his plans and noone could figure out it was him. Then I could see Cameela maybe falling for his guff. Everyone really has his number now.
Thanks, Madelaine. You and M. Hercule Poirot are both spot on with so much delirium in this episode. I hope they do a double manicomio lock up of Lu and Antonio. They can sit by the separating fence in their white robes plotting how to break up Pedro and Camila when they get out.
Had to LOL at your "Man up Dude, who knew you were such a wuss".
Antonio was pretty hands-y with Lu when she was "dead". I saw some cupping goin' on.

Thanks Madelaine, nicely done.
Maybe Lu isn't crazy after all but brain damaged. I honestly thought that Tony ha killed her... and so did he. I also thought that he was then going to shoot her with Pedro's pistol.
Was there any good reason for Pedro to take her into that barn? What an idiot he is. I was OK with him being jailed just for stupidity.
Manuel continues creeping me out.

Carlos, I thought Tony was going to shoot her, too -- but as R la O pointed out, he decided to feel her up instead.
If we jailed Fresnians for stupidity, there wouldn't be enough room.
Did anybody notice that Fabi arrived at Army's place hauling a suitcase-on-wheels and jumped out of the car back at El Traz without it? It might make an interesting plot point, but it's probably just a continuity problem.

Blue - I *did* notice that. First I noticed how like Doris she seemed with her suitcase-on-wheels, then I thought how good Antonio didn't see it. Of course he would have assumed it just contained her spy gear.
Carlos- I agree with you about Lucrazy sometimes she is so lucid, other times not so much. But she must have suffered something when the Beltbuckle hit her. I thought at the least she would have a hematoma (is that right) or maybe a subdural hemorrage. I was shocked Pedro moved her, and didn't just leave her where she was and call an ambulance. But this is telenovela land, so they don't always do the recommended thing.
Blue Lass- I did notice she left without the suitcase, and how after all the Beltbuckle did with Lucrazy did he know that she had been out? I guess he must have seen her out of the corner of his eye. For all he knew she may have been taking a stroll on the grounds.

Wow, you guys have the eagle eyes.
Tony is getting more and more physically abusive. He didn't used to go around smacking everyone. I remember a scene from last week when he put the poison in Pigorio's pills and he muttered something like "Now you'll pay for all those beatings you gave me." He is turning into the person he hates the most.

I have a question for y'all. Towards the beginning of this TN didn't Papa Pig tell Lucrazy she was as crazy as her mother? I think he did but I'm not sure. I watched it spordically for awhile.
