El Talismán #93 Fri 6/8/12 DADDY LOVES ME–HE LOVES YOU NOT or OOPS DADDY’S BEEN SLEEPING AROUND (AND SO HAS MOMMY)

Recap by Anita

Your Intrepid Reporter feels some of lo de antes bears repeating.  Antonio and Camila are having an intimate breakfast in the kitchen with Tracy and Alberta in attendance (and all ears, of which Antonio is keenly aware).  The conversation is one sided.  The Ant says Camila must eat for the sake of *HIS* hijo.  He wants him to be born healthy and can’t wait to see him riding horses.  What about names, my darling, he tries engaging her in conversation.  Camila isn’t into playing his game, so he asks Tracy if she would like an hija or an hijo.  She sputters whatever God sends.  Antonio goes on and on about his future heir.  He’d like a boy since he already has two girls.  In the background Bertie is bug-eyed impactada.  And, he declares to all ears present, he wants her to get pregnant again just as soon as this baby is born.  Camila is seething.  The Ant continues, oh, and what about taking childbirth classes. 

He will not stop, so Camila excuses herself abruptly to go get some air.  Antonio follows her out to the porch.  She turns on him—why is he keeping up this farce. Well, my dear, he says, twirling his non-existent mustache, that’s what she agreed to—to act like a happy couple waiting for their first child—and someday she *will* come to love him.  Never.  She’ll always love Pedro.  Antonio wants to shut her up quick.  He doesn’t want to hear that name.  So, no more pretense; she has to behave as if it is real. 

Fortunately for a gagging Viewerville, the scene switches to Maria’s apartment where the cousins are having an early morning conversation.  Army congratulates Angel for getting half-way to first base with Flo before mama bear “catched” them.  Angel is cool with mama bear and apparently she is with him.

We next see Flo & Fab having a phone conversation (YIR seems to remember it was a very strict internado—no skyping or e-mails, but I guess phone calls before breakfast are ok).  Flo tells her sister all about her date with Angel and that Army sends bunches of kisses (poor thing still must not have her number).  They hang up and Flo admits to herself that she can’t stop thinking about Angel—he’s such an angel.  Bertie rushes in to interrupt her daydream with the *BIG* news.  Her Papa and Camila are expecting a baby.

Once over her initial shock, Flo just doesn’t believe it.  At 15 (or is it 16, 17, or 18 now), she knows the baby tale and can’t believe Camila could have gotten pregnant that fast.  Bertie looks at her in surprise.  Well, well, it’s like this…Flo stops her.  She’s talking about how it could be possible when Camila hasn’t been happy with The Prince of Swirling Darkness of the Giant Shiny Beltbuckle since day one and the two spend all their time fighting (and don’t even sleep in the same room, don’t forget).  Bertie comes back with, if it’s not his hijo, then how could the Ant be so happy about it.  Flo, exasperated, is running out of arguments, but she’s sure that baby is not her daddy’s. She reminds Bertie that Camila was with Pedro before she married the Ant.  It’s probably Pedro’s kid.  She’ll never accept that kid.  Flo is going to find a way to get out of there.  She wants to leave *right now* and go to Canada to join her sister.  Bertie says that if Camila wasn’t happy with Antonio, she’d be the first to get out of here—why hasn’t she left.  Could it be that Antonio did something to force Camila into marriage (oh, Bertie, you are so close).

Elviral has emerged from her lair at Maria’s to find Angel and Army in a happy mood.  She tries to crush it by announcing that Angel’s mother is getting married.  Angel is happy for her and so what.  Elvirus notes cattily that Maria told her she wasn’t including him in her plans.  She’s not telling him this to hurt him, btw, just telling the truth.  Elvira can’t go along with what Maria is doing—not thinking of her son first.  In fact, just wait, after they are married Maria will forget all about him.  Angel reflects on that for one NY minute.  He knows his mother very well, she wouldn’t do that, but he *is* sure that once they are married, his mom and Manuel are going to live at Manuel’s, leaving this apartment to him.  And the first thing he’s going to do is throw her out.  Elvira is stunned.  He says he’s tired of her interfering in everybody’s lives—look what she did to Army and Fab, then she successfully separated Pedro and Camila from achieving their happiness.  He’s not going to let Elvira ruin his mother’s and Manuel’s happiness.  She continues as if she hadn’t heard him, saying that Manuel isn’t worth a thing, especially for having gone out with two sisters at once.  (She doesn’t realize the big door she just opened; Angel doesn’t even need to ring the doorbell to go right in).  Does she mean the way she forced Armando to go out with both the Negrete sisters at the same time?  Keep it up and she’ll have to deal with him.  Angel storms out.  Armando is left with the lethal e-Virus.  He leaves, too, before she can infect him.

Maria arrives at her office to find a beautiful bouquet of red roses and a note to follow the arrow.  Talking to herself in true telenovela fashion, she finds a ring box on a side table, opens it and says, if he thinks she’s going to put this ring on her finger herself….Manuel, waiting at the door, finishes the sentence that no, he’s going to put the ring on her finger and he’s not going to take no for an answer.  Some sweet, mature, smoochies and hugs follow.  They are both deliriously happy and don’t want to wait another four hours to get married.  How about this afternoon, Manuel suggests.  Well, ok, says Maria, but first she wants to have Angel at her side.  Manuel gets a date with a judge.

Now, what any Talismaniacs remaining in Viewerville have been waiting for….the tender reunion between the prodigal daughter and her loving father.  Well, not quite, it’s more like the resuscitated daughter and the pithed off father.  Pedro and Lucrazylessnow are in the living room at El Alcatrash talking to Don Piggorio.  Doris is present and hovering over the Don.  Lulu is explaining that Antonio was behind the faked death and planned the whole thing in order to send Pedro to jail.  She was too frightened of him not to follow his orders, so she couldn’t let El Pigsty know she was alive.  Doris says they ought to leave because Gregorio isn’t feeling well.  Ignoring his rising blood pressure, the Don yells that no, he’s fine.  Just because he’s having a little trouble with his legs doesn’t mean he can’t defend what belongs to him.  He’s not going let anyone take away what is, Wait for It, MIO. 

Don G tells the re-living daughter that from now one she will stay at El Alcatrash, and cannot leave.  Pedro reminds them that Lucrecia still has to go to the police.  Lulumenoscrazy wants to talk to her daddy alone, so Pedro leaves.  Lucrazynotsomuch explains in a perfectly rational tone, that her happiness lies with Pedro.  Don G tells her she needs a psychiatrist if she thinks Pedro loves her, she’s obsessed.  Lulu retorts that maybe she’s crazy and maybe she’s not, but the one who really needs help is Don G because of his relationship with Doris.  Lucrecia tells her dad to stay out of her life.  El Piggorio pleads, can’t she see he’s up to something?  He married Camila por la Iglesia (#1).  What does she think he’s doing with her?

Out of doors, Camila is getting her 30 min. a day in the exercise yard.  Pedro sees her and approaches.  He desperately wants to know what it is that Antonio has on her to have pressured her into this ridiculous marriage.  She tells him to vete, he can’t be seen talking to her.  He needs to forget about her, go find his happiness elsewhere, like with Lucrazy.  How can he do that, Pedro indicates, when he’s married to her por la Iglesia (#2).  Camila says that can be taken care of by starting annulment proceedings (YIR wonders if Bishop Juan Cristobal will make an appearance). Camila tells him it’s over, acabado, finished and to leave her in paz. Pedro says he can’t.  If it’s over, why did she help him find Lucrecia.  He reminds her that while he was being held in the jail, she promised that she would always love him.  She admits to loving him, but they just cannot be together.  He pleads with her to tell him what made her marry Antonio; if he is to help her he needs to know.  Camila says she *can’t* tell him and to please leave her in paz.

Pedro goes back to El Tal, has a talk with Margarito about the same ole, same ole, but this time he’s convinced it’s Elvira that holds the key and surely she knows what forced Camila into that marriage.  He’s basically eliminated everyone else.  Money is the bait to get her to talk.  All he has to do is put the money IN and the words will come tumbling OUT, just like a vending machine.

At El Trashcan, Doris calls a press conference in the kitchen to let the assembled audience know that it turns out Lulu is alive and well (really?).  Ok. That’s it.  No questions.  No further comments.  She’s outta there—must get back to El Porkie.  He has retired to another room, obviously in distress, leaving Lulu stewing in her own juice.  Doris wants to call the doctor right away.  He says, no way.  It was merely the shock of seeing Lucrecia alive after all the tears he shed.  Although he’s happy to have her back, she obviously needs a specialist.

Don Gregorio begins to unload on Doris.  He begins to talk about his past obsession with Matilde, Don Bernardo’s wife.  He suffered terribly from this obsession, even going to the length of killing for it (woohoo says YIR, are we going to get a reveal next Friday at 2:45 pm—like he *did* kill his never-before-seen wifey to be free for Matilde).  Doris tries to calm him down, it’s not good for his health.  He can’t, he’s on a roll.  He tells Doris she need not worry; he likes her, but isn’t obsessed with her.  She’s only good for sex.  She’ll never wake the passion in him that he had for Matilde (is Viewerville supposed to feel sorry for him that he was unlucky in love).  Doris is hurt; he has no right to insult her the way he just did.  Don G says he didn’t mean to offend her, but that’s the way it is.  He moans that it’s terrible to love someone and not have them love you in return.  He’s empty inside.

The Don’s convinced that Lucrecia has inherited this obsessive trait and it’s manifesting itself in her ridiculous attachment to Pedro.  Antonio managed to avoid the trait.  He notes that the Antonio-Camila coupling is not the same (you could a fooled me, YIR thought it *was* obsession), although he has no idea how the Ant got her to marry him.  Maybe, says Doris, it’s because, Wait for It, HE’S NOT YOUR SON.  El Piggorio nearly has a fatal infarto then and there.  Doris tells him she has always known that little nugget of information.  She reminds him of the friendship between her mother and Don G’s wife and she overheard the words spoken right by his wife.  Don G tries to deny it, but Doris claims he knew all along, too, but didn’t tell because of the shame knowing he had a wife who was not just unfaithful, but produced a child as well (YIR says woohoo, is this going to be another reveal—who is Antonio’s bio-dad and do we care?).

Doris leaves him.  Don Gregorio is sitting there mulling over what has just happened.  He’s furious and throws a glass at the door and it shatters.  He comes to the conclusion that he only has one child, his daughter.  Panchito comes running and wants to know what is troubling him.  Don Gregorio takes a second look at Panchito—well, valgame Dios, he does have a son, even if he is the son of a servant.  He tells Joven Pancho (out of respect for his new status, YIR will now start calling him Joven Pancho) to keep an eye on Antonio and if he leaves, quick send for the notary, because he wants to change the terms of his last will and testament.

Meanwhile, in another part of the house, Antonio walks in to see his lov.. er, sister talking to herself.  He freaks out and lights into her.  She tells him, in quite a normal tone of voice, that it’s all out in the open and Daddy knows all about his complicity.  She’s sure Daddy cares about her and she is important to him.  He tries to get her to wake up, Don G never cared for her, either one of them for that matter.  How is it that she can believe him now when she never believed him before.  Lu is so mad she threatens to take back the management of her part of El Trashcan that she signed over to him.  Antonio says she’d better not.  She looks squarely into the face of that shaggy overgrown facial hair of a glowering smirker that she’s not afraid of him anymore.  She’s not alone any more, Pedro will defend her.  So there, take that, bro (and I’ll see you behind the caterer’s trailer after the scene is done).

Sometime earlier, Elvira, having struck out borrowing money from Maria to pay off Rennie’s apartment, decides that Antonio will lend her the money and she’s going to go see him right now.  (Oh, YIR remembers that Elvira is on the phone with Camila, just as the local metropolitan area emergency weather announcement interrupts and cuts off any further conversation.  Just as well.  We know what Antonio will say and we’re much more interested in the outcome of Pedro’s tantalizing offer.)

In the spacious, country kitchen at El Trasholacan, Bertie and Tracy have their noses glued to the window watching the Pedro-Camila encounter out in the side yard.  Bertie wants Tracy to go out and separate them before Antonio sees them.  When Tracy won’t because she wants them to have a chance to talk, Bertie begins pestering her again to tell her what’s going on.  Tracy is just about to spill the beans when they are interrupted - again, this time by Flo.  She’s convinced everybody in this house is crazy; everybody is fighting all the time.

Antonio, roaming around the house, runs into Florencia still in the kitchen and announces his pride of fathership, yep, after all these years, it’s happening again.  She’s going to get a baby brother.  Flo announces she’s leaving to join Fabiola and may the three of them be happy together.  Nah-ah, ain’t happening that way, clues in the Ant.  When this baby is born, Fabiola is coming back and all five of them will be here, togetha.  Flo comes right out and asks how does daddy dearest know this one is his.  Flo obviously has his number.  (YIR didn’t see that one coming.  Score points for Flo.)

Camila returns to the house and is surprised to see Lulubell.  She reminds Camila that she is her cuñadita now and she’s not taking any guff from her.  She’s pithed because she’s convinced Camila told Pedro that she was alive and where to find her.  Camila denies it.  Well, that had better be the truth she says; Camila is married to the Ant now (dang YIR knows she wants Aaron more than she wants Rafael), so leave Pedro the h*ll alone.

Doris has made a quick trip to Brigitte’s House of Masked Pleasures.  They are confabing in the office.  Brigitte is incredulous that Doris went and told the Pigsty that she knew about Antonio’s doubtful parentage (man, YIR can’t wait to see Antonio’s face when he finds out—he might even be happy, but not about losing his inheritance).  Doris is aware that it was a no-no and will interfere with her future plans, but she could not bear Don Gregorio’s stinging words that he only wants her for sex, but never as a wife.

Back with Maria, she’s rounding up the wedding party.  Maria calls Angel and gives him the happy news.  He’s surprised by the haste, but wishes them well and of course he’ll meet them in the judges chambers later this afternoon.   Once Angel says yes, she wants to make sure Armando and Camila will come.  He’ll take care of Armando and Maria will call Camila.  First Angel calls Flo and asks her to go to his mother’s wedding with him.  Yep, a little hasty, but really, it’s not a shotgun wedding.  Flo swoons, of course she wants to be with him.  She’ll meet him there because she’ll go with Camila and Antonio.  Then she accidentally reveals the news of Camila’s pregnancy.  Que? says Angel.  When Maria calls El Alca for Camila, Antonio answers.  He’s emotionally cold, but promises to be there with Camila.  After hanging up, his true intentions are clear—he wants to go so he can tell everyone he and Camila are expecting *MI* hijo.

Pedro has called the office of El Capitan and wants to come in.  He’ll be right there.  He shows up at the precinct with Lulubelle.  She is sounding so perfectly rational and reasonable, viewerville is astonished.  She fills in El Capo with all the information she’s willing to share.  El Capo thinks it’s hard to believe that Lu merely walked out of the cabaña just before the conflagration.  Why didn’t she come forward right away.  Her answer is that with everything she had gone through, wouldn’t it be understandable that she was committed for a time.  She assumed there would be an investigation and she was mad at Pedro; they had argued, just like any other couple.  El Capo stops her.  Wait, wasn’t the “couple” really Pedro and Camila?  The Capitan reminds her that Pedro was actually married to Camila por la Iglesia (#3) at the time.  El Capo thanks them and tells Lulu that she can’t leave the area without permission, while they continue their investigation.  When they are ready to go, Pedro excuses himself and tells Lulu that he has something to do before going home.  He tells her Margarito will come for her and no, she cannot go with him.

The wedding party has arrived at the judges chambers.  The invited guests are dressed up and waiting for the ceremony to begin.  Manuel approaches Camila and in a lowered voice takes her aside.  He wants to know if she knows anything to inculpate the Negretes in Mariana’s death.  Camila’s eyes open wide, but denies knowing anything.  Manuel wants to know if she is prepared to let the killer or killers get away with  murder.

Lastly, Pedro shows up at Maria’s apartment, where Elvira has been sitting kvetching about how could her sister do this to her.  He opens up his briefcase and….it’s manna from heaven.  Elvira has never seen so much dinero—not in her wildest dreams.  This probably isn’t as much as MI CHEQUE, but it’ll do in a pinch.  Pedro makes it simple:  tell him what made Camila marry Antonio and the money is hers, all of it, no strings attached.  Elviral hunts the recesses of her mind for the answer to her dreams.  Elvira makes it simple: Camila is with Antonio because she loves him, now, give her the money, it’s, Wait for It, MIO.  Not so fast, sister, Pedro says she has to tell her the truth.  Elvira insists that’s the reason, so now the money is MIO.  Pedro reminds her that she and he both know Camila on her own would never have married Antonio.

AVANCES—Unbelievably and happily, there are no avances, only finales.  Next Friday, June 15, is the big 2-hour unraveling (there is no wrapping up in this tn).

Comments:
Thanks, Blue. Excellent recap. I'm loving the little bits the writers are giving us about backstories. 'Bout time...
Unraveling, spot-on!
 

Oh Anita, what a heroic effort -- you must have worn through your shoe-leather intrepidly reporting all this!

My very favorites:

- Camila is getting her 30 min. a day in the exercise yard.

- All he has to do is put the money IN and the words will come tumbling OUT, just like a vending machine.

- Take that, bro (and I’ll see you behind the caterer’s trailer after the scene is done).

Amazingly, I understood every word of Flor's everyone-in-this-house-is-crazy rant -- probably because I feel that way myself.
 

Anita, great reporting, thank you.

I was LOL, I thought El Viral was going to lose at least hand when she went for MIO dinero. At least she is consistent.

Flor is spot on, every-in-this-house-is-crazy - at least there is one sane person in that household.

I wish they had given Camila a brain, some pretty clothes and a decent hairdresser. She is just plain dull.

What will the the Ant do to mess up the boda of Tia Maria and Manuel?

Looking forward to next week.

Rosemary Primera
 

Poor Elvira. It's like her own Sophies choice. She can't win and we are glad. So which would be worse for her, jail or all alone and poor?

How can that actress pick Aaron over Rafael? I'm not impressed with Aaron in this. Remember in Friends when Joey was talking about acting and one of the standard faces he makes before commercial breaks? The one where he imagines that he just smelled a fart? Aaron makes fart face every time someone makes him mad. He's probably better than that but fart face is all I see.

Kelly
 

Anita, this is simply super! Thank you. Honestly, I had a little trouble following the thread in this episode, they bopped and bounced around so much. I did enjoy all the bombs being dropped though.

You had so many clever lines, but I think this was my favorite: "(and I’ll see you behind the caterer’s trailer after the scene is done)". Oh yes indeedy, Aaron and Lola can barely contain themselves.

I almost fell out of my chair laughing when Flo exclaimed that everyone in the house must be crazy. Um, yep.

Kelly, LOL! Joey's fart face, yes!

Two big shocks in this episode: Doris telling Pigorio she knows Tony isn't his (it explains a lot), and Pedro showing up with a case of money.

Anita, you really started off with a bang, great title, and ended with another terrific Anita'ism, "Next Friday, June 15, is the big 2-hour unraveling (there is no wrapping up in this tn)." I am now looking forward to the 2-hour unraveling.
 

Anita, Anita, this is wonderful, your best recap ever!!!! Loved your remark about the caterer's trailer lol. Ya know if they hadn't cast them as the the brother and sister duo, can you imagine the chemistry? It would have put fire to the screen jus' sayin'.

Loved Flor here. She just stood right up to The Beltbuckle. I am glad he didn't slap her.

Yay Angel. He told the Virus just as it is. He has the major avacadoes. He should throw her out.

Oh, the Pig, the Pig. Not knowing about his wife maybe shagging someone else and the Beltbuckle may not be his. What if Don Bernardo was the lover of Teresa ( I beleive that is the Pig's deceased wife' name.) Oh, the scandal. I'd like to know who his Daddy is.

The Virus and all that money. Will she really spill? I thought she would as soon as she saw that pile of money. I wonder who will spill to Pedro first that Cameela has a little Pedro bun in the oven. It is going around like wildfire.
 

I'll bet if Elvira gets the money, she'll run right over and give it to Rennie for his apartment -- then he'll skip town, and she'll find out the place isn't even his!
 

Sorry, sorry, sorry. I meant to say thanks, Anita, our intrepid (long-suffering) reporter. Is there any stock left in TalMart? I'd like an "I'm SO glad it is over!" tee, coffee mug, heck, make it a banner!!
 

Excellent recap Blue. What is it with these TN people? They always keep secrets for wrong reasons.At this point in the game what does it matter if Pedro knows the reason for this marriage fiasco? Oh my goodness, i just saw the Antonio character in a syfy movie call Danoshark. Is he American? Speaks perfect unaccented English.Who knew!!
 

Here we go...
Loved:
- Antonio twirling his non-existent moustache
- Angel getting halfway to first base with F2
- Camila is getting her 30 minutes/day in the exercise yard
- Antonio walks in to see his lov...er, sister.
- Brigitte's House of Masked Pleasures
- Por la Iglesia / uno, dos, tres

Thank you Anita!

I liked when Doris came in and announced that Lu is really alive, nobody cheered.

Icky Pig - saying he's done with Doris, except for in bed. I did like when he connected the dots that maybe there is some relationship between his past obssesion and Lu with Pedro.

LOL that Elvira thinking "cuz she wanted to" would suffice as an answer to give her the suitcase full of dinero.

The blue off the sleeve dress Camila wore to the wedding is the one she didn't choose from trying them on out shopping with Pedro that day, looking for a dress for Elvira's wedding. I remember it was my favorite of the trying on session.

I think F1 got another job in real life. I'd be surprised if she showed up next week. But, if she does, I hope she's visibly pregnant (given this is only a tv show).

Let the unraveling begin (good one, Sylvia).

Rosemary la Otra
 

How about a shirt or banner that says "I can't believe I watched the whole thing!" Even for those of you who missed the beginning, it must feel like you watched the whole thing.

Anita thought of "unraveling", I just quoted her. Why should I make up my own cracks when it is much easier just to copy everyone else?

If Elviral gets that money, yep she's gonna lose it right away. She's such a dumbass.

This show might have started out with a whimper but it's sure going to end with a bang thanks to the recappers. (Plus I watched the previews and they involve guns.)
 

Sylvia, I love your tee shirt idea. Perfect!

So, if Antonio of the Buckle isn't Don Greg's and Lulu IS, then their icky obsession with each other is legit, right? Well, guess I forgot the little detail of the same mother. Neverrrr minddddd.
 

What? You can't marry your half sister? In Utah, you can. jk
 

Anon 2:59, the actor who plays Antonio went to school in Palo Alto, so he is bilingual. He also guest-starred on a recent episode of some American show about airplane crews, or something; can't remember the name of it.
 

Emilia, I don't think Antonio and Lulu mind either. (About having the same mother.)

Ah, just read La Otra's comment. Well it's OK then. (I'm ignoring the jk. Nope, didn't see it.)

Antonio went to Palo Alto High School, same place where James Franco graduated. Must be something in the drinking fountains.
 

Gracias, todos. Yes, I wore out a lot of shoe leather keeping up with this crazy bunch.

R#1--I don't think Antonio's going to mess up the boda as much as turn the spotlight away from the wedding couple and on himself and Camila. I sort of hope Camila faints again--or at least throws up on him. As luck will have it, Pedro will probably show up--then there might be a little clashing of caribou antlers. I agree with you that Camila has been pretty dull.

Kelly--If Elvira chose jail, at least she wouldn't be alone, she'd have a roof over her head, wouldn't have to cook for herself and she wouldn't need any CHEQUES....and the kids wouldn't have to feel guilty about not supporting her or keeping her on a leash to keep her from getting into trouble.

Madelaine--We *really* don't know if the Pig knew beforehand about Tony, but Doris certainly thought he did.

Oooh the possibilities on Tony's bio-dad. We have these possibilities in the right age range:
Don Bernardo
Valentin
hmmmm, I guess that's all, unless it was some handsome ranch hand that hasn't been introduced.

FUG will have to come out with a special advertising section with Tal*Mart memorabilia. Please add items between now and next Friday.
Anita
 

I have no clue what is going on with this one, but you can bet your sweet bippy I will be recording the finale!
 

Anita, we something that says "Who's Your Daddy?".

I think the Ant will have a fit when he sees Flor at the boda. Do you suppose he will bring his boda bag to toast the happy couple?

Rosemary Primera
 

Wow, Thanks Anita, this is wonderful.

Wasn't there speculation here from the beginning that the Pig might not be Antonio's daddy?

Now I'm pinning hopes on the possibility that Lucrezia has a different mother. With this group I think the chances of that are good. Does anyone have any difficulty imagining DonG abusing one of the household staff like Rogelio's daddy did with Maria to produce Cynthia in LQNPA?

When Maria invited Antonio and Camila to her wedding she didn't give him either a time or a location... just... this afternoon. I'm impressed that Antonio was able to find his way.

Elvira was wonderful in that last scene with Pedro and the money. Those facial expressions were priceless.

Carlos
 

Oh hell yeah he's going to bring the boda bag. What else does one bring to a boda? Certainly not good wishes in his case.

I definitely like the "Who's Your Daddy?" swag. Maybe it can be on a boda bag.

Somehow Julietta Rosen seems unfazed and unscathed by this whole guacamole. She just keeps pumping out the La Marmota squeals like there's no end in sight. She's never boring, even when she's predictable. Unlike Camila.

Speaking of guacamole, that Angel has major pair of avocados. I wanted to hug him yesterday. He didn't back down to anyone, not Doris, not Elvira.

Maybe El Tal*Mart can sell some Angel Motivational CDs for listening while driving between Fresno and LA or Tijuana, "How to keep your avocados and your brains while surrounded by lunatics and high-pitched shrieking". That's not a great title, maybe someone can come up with something a bit more clever, but you get my drift.
 

Anita and Madelaine, I think it's fairly certain that Pig has always known. She said that she overheard Teresa tell her mom that DonG knew that she had betrayed him but was too proud to complain. After Doris left him alone he complained, "How could Doris learn about that?" (Well actually she just told you how.) Then he cursed Teresa, threw his glass and whined, "I know that Antonio is not my son, I only have a daughter, Lucrezia." Then Pancho knocks and Pig says to himself, "Well yes, I have a son..."

And I still say that Santiago is also his, he has the same hair, same eyebrows... same acting skills.

Carlos
 

I think Santiago is Pig's too, and I shan't be convinced otherwise.

Ooooh, nice Avatar Carlos.
 

So basically history is repeating itself with Antonio now being too proud to admit the hijo de Camila is not his.

And don't forget we think F1 is Pig's too. Think eyebrows.
 

And here I didn't think anybody would care at this juncture who is who's daddy. All the possibilities are delectable.

Carlos--thank you for the whole translation. This makes much more sense. I knew I had missed some key phrases.

Depending on how much time I have, I'll skim the last few weeks for any items Tal*Mart could have shipped, inventoried, and put on the shelves for us discriminating consumers.
Anita
 

Sara--Don't count on any bodas in this finale. Just boda bags.
 

I think Brigitte is Lucrazy's mother. They have a strong resemblance. Plus, MamaNegrete and Brig were friends; maybe Brig got pregnant and didn't want a kid or feel she should keep one being a whorehouse madam and all, and MamaNegrete offered to adopt her child, whose father may or may not be Pigsty.

I can't wait to see how this show lets loose in its final week. It has so much potential. I love Angel. I think he's the real hero here.

Mil gracias, Anita!
 

How many body bags should we have Dr. Carlos order? I know that we will need one for the Pig. Who else?

Rosemary Primera
 

Lulu might do herself in when she realizes Pedro has been tricking her.

I don't see Antonio having any sort of happy ending. I wouldn't be surprised if he meets his maker at the end. Panchito's got to end up with El Talisman so something will probably happen to both Lu and Tonio.

Doris might get strangled because she is becoming very annoying and inconvenient.

El Viral will live to shriek another day, unless she bursts a blood vessel in her brain.
 

Well, Lucas definitely has to buy it.
 

Probably Valentin as well.
 

Valentin will probably live and get sent to jail because that is what he fears the most.
 

Blue, I missed your comments. Yep, Lucas has to go. I thought it would be more poetic justice for Val to go to jail, but I would be cool with him kicking the bucket.
 

How about the fake doctors? Or shall we just send them to jail for a really long time?
 

I think the fake doctors need to go to jail. I hope Rennie and Rita escape, hopefully with Elvira's new-found wealth if she manages to get it from Pedro. She really will blow a gasket if she gets that money and then immediately loses it.
 

Sylvia,

Sorry, I cannot agree with you about Rennie. He was so mean to Tracy in the beginning. He needs to suffer for a long, long time.

Rosemary Primera
 

do ya'll know what telenovela is coming on after this one?
 

No, no, RLO--That's bod-a bags, not bod-y bags. Horrors.

Julia--I think you've got it, lady. Brigitte has to figure in all this. We know Don G and she had a long-standing "understanding."

Cap'n, we know you meant El Alcatrash, not El Tal. El Tal is to be preserved as a shrine to Mariana. Maybe they'll donate it to the Fresno Historical Society. Pedro and Camila need to go live in the orphanage, including Santiago--now we know why his mom hasn't been back to get him or have him sent to Mexico.

Julia--have to tell you, you had me in stitches with your free-range orphans.

I thought Lucas was selling insurance or expensive sorbet on the streets of Fresno (according to a recent commercial).

My list of Tal*Mart items is growing. Need some more.
Anita
 

Sorry, I meant Rosemary the First.
 

OK Rosemary Prima, I am easy. What perfect ending shall we plan for Rennie? Deportation to the big house? I'm sure he has many crimes in his past. Deportation after a bad case of food poisoning? Not from Tracy of course. But a very bad stomach problem just seems right somehow.

Anita, yes yes, I meant Alcatrash. Thank you.

"I thought Lucas was selling insurance or expensive sorbet on the streets of Fresno (according to a recent commercial).", Yep, isn't that funny?
 

Anita:

What a great recap! Thank you very much.

I agree Julia. I think Brigitte is Lulu's mommy.

Lulu and Antonio (Lola and Aaron) should go out in a blaze of icky glory, making out too close to a burning El Alcatraz, when they are sucked into the flames of their patrimony!

The Pig should be unable to move, helpless, and roasted in the same fire. Don't his bad meds cause
paralysis?

I know where I will be on Friday!

EJ
 

TeeHee, the blaze of glory should do it for our incestuous duo.

However, I would like to see all three of them paralyzed from the neck down with only Joven Pancho and Tracy to care for them 24/7. Only problem is that they might be annoying. But think of it. Joven Pancho, picking boogers and then feeding them grapes, spilling wine from the boda bags all over them, etc...that Tracy can cook up a storm, true, but only JP benefits. The other three have to watch and be satisfied with being fed guacamole and mince meat pie.

Rennie--hmmm. He's defrauded a lot of women, made and lost a lot of money, but never murdered anyone. How about he has to do community service for 3 years at the orphanage? Rita, meanwhile, gets a modeling job for Fredrick's of Fresno.
Anita
 

I hope Renato gets Elvira's money from Pedro, and before leaving town goes in person to apologize to Tracy and pay her back, then he rides off into the sunset on his (somebody's)"yacht" in his mint green shirt and white pants.
 

That would be nice! And I think Rita should find someone younger & cuter.
 

BTW, assembled ears, over on La Plaza de Caray we are having a wienie roast and choosing which will be the first wienie to roast. The Cap'n chose the Beltbuckle's. I alluded to the fact that it might be quite tasty, since it's been marinated in all that wine.
Anita
 

Okay, I just left an inappropriate comment over at La Plaza. Peer pressure.

Not that I want to share, but Rita and Hawt Detective would be a beautiful couple. He could head "The Case of the Missing Pants".
 

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

Next she'll be making skirts out of Elvira's headbands.
 

Oh, wait -- that's Elisa on Abismo.
 

And then Elisa wears them over to see the mother of the man she loves who thinks she's a slut anyway.

No, Elisa, that is not what you wear when visiting an uptight, conservative, wrinkle free senora who just happens to be Dam's mom.
 

thanks Anita and Blue for posting.
LOVED
Money is the bait to get her to talk. All he has to do is put the money IN and the words will come tumbling OUT, just like a vending machine.
and Sylvia's tee suggestion 'can't believe i watched the whole thing!'
lol!! i didn't...
but enjoying the recaps.. i agree, the Pedro/Elvira sounds like the best scene of the ep...

lets see how this all unravels... i sort of knew Gero did not love Tonio for a reason. IS briget his mom?
 

Martaivett--so happy to see you lurking around for El Fin del Final de esta porkeria.

Yes, the latest speculation among us die-hard beanie heads is that Brigitte dio luz to Tonio and gave him to Teresa.....see Julia's assessment.
Anita
 

My speculation is that Antonio is the hijo of Mrs. Pig and unknown mystery man (Valentin???), and Lucrazy is the hija of Brigitte and probably Mr. Pig.

WV: eyedyin. What happens when we have to see Pigorio on the screen, especially if he's gettin' en flagrante with Doris.
