Caray, Caray!

Wow, thanks for posting so fast!!!! I saw part of it, but not the whole thing. Just saying thanks for recap!
 

Bwahahaha, great title! Gross, I guess Gabino really did bury Ingrid. I couldn't help laughing every time he had to adjust his turban. And Marta, great eye about his bandana hand turning into a bandage hand. I completely cracked up when I read that.

Africa Zavala was Remedios! It was fun seeing her in "real" clothes instead of the nun-wear she sports in Amorcito. She really does look like Paloma too.

So Paolo has a wedding surprise too? Sounds like Dam's wedding is going to be a memorable day what with all the surprises.

Oh, I forgot to say Thank You Marta for your super and wonderfully detailed recap. I enjoyed your many funny comments but I think I laughed the loudest at Gabino's "avocado/herb spa face mask applied with a metal spoon, acupuncture, chiropractic massage" treatment.
 

Great recap Marta.

What an episode. I adored Gabino as the hospital mummy. His lurching and falling were pitch perfect. Speaking of which, all that falling cannot be good for the existing head injury. I wouldn't want to jar that bullet loose but I guess now we don't have to worry about Gabino accidently losing the bullet out of the hole in his head—Ramona kindly stuffed the hole with her special guacamole.

I'll bet our amigo Carlos is LOL.

I did hate the idea of Ingrid being buried alive, how hideous. I know she is a creep but really, that seems an extreme TN punishment. I guess the ghost of Guido inhabited and inspired Gabino in his beyond-the-grave lust for venganza.

Did I say that I am heartily sick of habaneros? I don't care if Cielo Abierto is ever sold, or produces fruit again. There I have said it. The long-term La Anita product placement has warn very thin.

Marta thanks again for a great recap.

"Ramona kindly stuffed the hole with her special guacamole. "

hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the casting of Africa Zavala was perfect. She looks very much like Paloma. (And I just like her. She looked great!)
 

yes, i thought Africa Zavala as Remedios was a great casting too, she looks very much like Paloma. I am watching Africa in PVAA on sunday mornings too. has straight hair there...
 

Africa is playing Remedios! Loved her in PVAA and also now in Amorcito. I haven't seen the episode, but hopefully can watch my recording this evening before the show comes on tonight. I can totally see Africa as Remedios; execpt for the height difference, the two actresses look a lot alike.

Great recap Marta. I could picture it all. Love the snark about Ramona's special spa treatment for Gabino. So, Pal didn't ask grandma any questions about what Gab meant after he told her Remedios was the only woman who ever loved him? Hmmm...
 

marta - great recap. Thank you! We had a good amount of action last night. Zombino's scenes were my favorites, eliciting more LOLs from me.

Yeesh! I completely did not understand what Zombino said when he told Ingrate the hole was originally for Carmina. This is why I depend so much on our beloved recappers.

And Ing continued to flop around like a fish out of water down there, when only her hands were tied. I had to MUTE the screaming. It got old. Fast. And then she was lying there with only her face showing. Que the ???? Her legs weren't broken. Eejit.

I was sort of surprised Gabino had the strength to completely fill that grave. Even if it took all night. It pays to work out at the gym and have six-pack abs. And pecs. And all those other gym-enhanced muscles.

That 'grave' dirt was gorgeous. IMHO it was "rented dirt." I have seen it at a BMX-moto-cross event. Brought in on trucks, it leaves on trucks, and it was gorgeous, just like that stuff we saw lastnight.

"Fashion quip: must be new trend in wearing hospital gowns, off one shoulder. Cynderella, you approve?"
To-ga! To-ga! But I digress . . .

Actually, I liked it when it came off the other shoulder. I was anticipating the next "level" of 'fashion'. ;-)

FFWD---> all Elisa scenes.

Paolo scene was good, too. No rapey snake music, either. Looks like he still does not play well with his cell maktes.

 

Please ignore typos above. Gah.
 

Thanks, Marta Miércoles! You are a wiz!

I loved the spa treatment theme. What did they actually use, I wonder? It looked like a mixture of guac and peanut butter.

The theme of giving the son a big ol' pistol on his wedding day is pure Arango. What a family.
 

Sylvia, I think Paolo's "wedding present" was a fully loaded Sabrina...headed for the target right now.
 

EJ, i totally agree that Carlos will have a field day with the notion of Gabino with a bullet in his head waltzing around the woods and shoveling full a grave big enough for a horse.
Also, why didn't Ingrate do more than shake her legs? all she had was her hands tied... beanie hat time!

 

Lucky me doesn't start work til later today so I get to luxuriate over this great recap.

Here's what had me laughing:
-"Ingrate, how long can you hold your breath?"
-shout out to Chuck Woolery (who was much cuter BEFORE his facelift)
-"waste-of-screen-space-Chente" lol he really is so much more lovable in that hungry-school-boy getting a freezer-treat commercial.

If Paloma gets her pretty looks from Remedios, I wonder why Paloma and Chente look so much alike? Funny they both favor their moms, yet look like sibs.

Thanks for the warning to mute the shouting, Doris. Off to watch now.

R la O- Gab apparently only impregnates the dark haired, large brown-eyed good girls, but lusts after the demonic fair, blond, blue-eyed tramps.
 

What fun, Marta. This was one of the best episodes and of course Gabino stole the show. Your narrative really captured the action perfectly. As I watched last night I was wondering how you would be able to describe Gabino's antics.

I was intrigued by Ramona's herbal treatment and duly impressed by her confidence:

"what one day I promised myself never to do for you, saving your life, you miserable scum"

So we know that Gabino will survive.

I'm now fascinated with Gabino's hand. I thought the bandana was to cover a burn scar, but that the wise Dr. Tovar (even the neurosurgeon seeks out his global expertise) saw fit to replace it with an official bandage makes me wonder what the heck is going on there.

That Alfonsina was able to say without a hint of irony:

"Your grandfather gave it to him on the day he married me."

made me laugh out loud.


 

EJ, "Ramona kindly stuffed the hole with her special guacamole." Snort!!

Blue Lass, won't a shrieking Sabrina make a lovely wedding present? I fear she might upstage wasp-waisted Florencia.
 

Gosh, I am *so* looking forward to these weddings/derailments.
 

Oh, Sylvia:

This is getting good again, as long as you enjoy comedy. I chortled, I giggled and finally belly laughed at Gabino.

I think you and Blue are correct; angry Sabrina is going to turn the church wedding from hell into a three-ring-circus. What fun!

Carlos—I am so glad you took notes on the efficacy of the chip-n-dip head plaster. I love Ramona—what a curandera! She will surely save Gabino's miserable life just in time for Paloma to find out he is her father.

Except for Ingrid, last night was a hoot.

EJ
 

Sara, I too loved Africa as Remedios. Weren't you surprised when Gabino said that she was the only woman who had ever really loved him?

The writers are treating Gabino here a little bit like Tony Soprano—he's such a loveable sociopath. Ahhhh, I don't think so. I love the ACTOR and his muscles as well as the next voyeur but I cannot feel sorry for Gabino the character, no matter what sappy music they play.

I know, all this time he has just been looking for someone to love him.

EJ

 

Will Paulo be released on bail? In time to show up at Florencia's wedding? Will she really marry Damian in church? Fr. Lupe is sure to have busy day either avoiding marriage ceremonies or being exhausted by them. Elisa will show up in a trashy wedding gown. I predict that neither ceremony will end up with the formula 'I now pronounce you man and wife in the eyes of Holy Mother the Church' due to revelations about Gael and Florencia. O the humanity of it all!
 

What a great episode this was, now that we have officially turned the corner into openly campy horror flick territory. And you, Marta, more than did it justice. Thank you!

Fans of Doña Barbara are of course familiar with guacamole-like poultices that bring the moribund round. Certainly better than that bandage-beanie Gabino got at the Health Center!

So the SabrinaBomb is heading to Hacienda Harango. Anonymous, I was wondering too whether Paolo would be sprung and manage to get to the party as well.

I guess there wasn't time last night for Paloma to ask too many questions about why Gabino was talking about Remedios, but now the door is open ...

So much fun watching the Citrus getting nervous and trying to cover her anxiety with her phoney fluorescent show of teeth.
 

The avances from last week showed Alfonsina beating Paolo about the head in somebody's living room (presumably hers), so he must get there at some point...
 

Om my stars, Marta, it was not a good idea to wait and read the recap while I ate my lunch at my desk. For one, the very load guy who sits outside my door was treated to my out and out laughter ( taste of his own medicine) and I parked the salad after the first few sentences. Masterful.

What would we do without our Gab? I mean really, he's the best thing in this whole TN, villian or no. And Ramona... oh lord, what a turn of events. She has to save the man who caused her daughter's death? Wonder what's in that "guacamole"! Hmmmmmmm

Looks like after weeks of painful watching, we may have a hoot of time in these last weeks after all. Looks like these weddings are going to be a ones which will be passed down as town legend and we've yet to see the bad guys, besides Irritating, all start getting their just rewards. How do they top buried alive? Whatever it is, Horacio will be front and center.
 

SuperMarta--you saved me. My recording didn't work last night and I was just dying to know what happened. Of course now that I know it was such a great show, I'm even more distressed but at least you completely filled me in (ooh, does that sound like I'm Ingrid!?)

Would have loved to see Remedios. She has always seemed like such a poignant and tragic mystery...and I missed my chance! I'd also like to see Alfonsina's fab outfit and that necklace you're lusting after, Marta. Me, I still want Gabino, wretched rascal tho' he be.

Thanks as always, my talented friend.
 

Excelente como siempre, Marta. I especially enjoyed your description of Gab's spa treatments.

I'm so glad this show has gotten good again. Zombino is so demented. I love it. I was hoping against hope Ingrate's hand would reach up through the dirt and grab him, though. Too bad she gives up so easily.

If he had dug that grave for Carmina, why did no one notice it there right next to the driveway at the blue house? Why did the stupid police never go to the blue house to look for him during the whole long night he spent there sweatily burying Ingrate?

Loved seeing Africa Zavala as Remedios. She was perfect for that role. I hope we'll get more flashbacks as Paloma finds out more about her parents.
 

I agree it is getting better again, mostly with the acting of Salvador, Blanca and Sabine. they are carrying the show now.
 

Great recap Marta. What an unintentionally funny episode.
I laughed at the beginning when Ingrid was completely buried except her head. I laughed every time they showed Gabino because he has this crazy eye roll down pat. I laughed at the guacamole mixture Ramona was putting on Gab with a big spoon. I laughed at Paolo telling Sabrina the cold hard facts of being used.

Someone has to discover this new grave with fresh soil covering it and wonder what's underneath. I mean really.
 

marta - muchas gracias! What a great recap of a hilarious episode.

Gabs owned the night, stroking and squeezing the grave, strutting his off the shoulder outpatient-wear and expertly showing off his perfect abs. He really is a terrific actor!

I am so sick of Gael's jealous fits. What a loser the writers have made of him. Right now he's annoying me more than Chente. Gal and Pal will make quite the pair.

The writers chose a cheap way of getting rid of Ing. I'm not horrified by the live burial, just thinking that the writers could have been more creative in their dispensing of the most evil villainess in the story. I'm still hoping that we'll find Horacio came skulking out of the night, pulled Ing and the tickets from the grave and then shoveled all the dirt back into the hole. But that's probably not the way things went down.

Carlos - good catch on the bandage!
Anya
 

cathyx,
Someone has to discover this new grave with fresh soil covering it and wonder what's underneath. I mean really.
Absolutely! and if you noticed, SHOVEL marks the spot! lol!! (he left the shovel sticking up right on the spot... )
 

"Why did the stupid police never go to the blue house to look for him during the whole long night he spent there sweatily burying Ingrate?"
I had the same thought, but immediately pushed it out of my mind and put my telenovela beanie hat back on my head. ;-)

I kind of thought Ingrid's end was appropriate. A fast death would have been too easy. She had to know she wouldn't come out of this alive. Dragging it out made it much more enjoyable. (did I say that??? Ack!)
 

As far as Ramona's poultice is concerned--I thought I saw her light a candle and add some wax to the guacamole mix. Who knew candle wax was good for sealing up holes in the head!

Sondie
 

I thought it was funny that Paloma wrapped Gab up all full-coverage again in his hospital gown before she hauled him to the hut.
 

Every single scene of Gabino's had elements so bizarre, so disjointed, so fantastic -- so surreal! -- that an alternate title for the episode might be: The one where the writers were on crack.

I refuse to believe that the humor was unintentional.
 

Hey Sondie, I noticed the bit with the candle too. At first I thought Ramona was sterilizing something but then I thought I saw her use a little spit so I figured asepsis wasn't a big deal.
 

Judy- LOL LOL! Thanking Marta for filling you in - like Ingrid.
 

When I saw Ramona light the candle and spit, I thought she was casting a spell on him. But she says she doesn't do that. Right?

My favorite Zombino bit was when he sniffed the dirt and then rubbed it all over his face. Salvador is having a ball!
 

I thought Ramona was going to use the candle to sterilize a needle or something for some patching up, but then she just poured some wax into the stuff in her hand. Interesting. I must get her bullet-hole paste recipe in case I am ever shot.
 

Or would that recipe more properly be called Holey Guacamole?
 

NM - there is no way anyone could convince me the humor was unintentional. Gabino was having a blast as Zombino.
 

Marta, I could not get to the recaps until now but you and Madelaine did a superb job on this and Refugio.

I started laughing at the title and smiled my way through. I agree with all the glowing comments about your wonderful lines.

I don't think Ing is dead simply because he didn't have the physical strength or endurance to fill in the entire grave. It seemed like he could barely cover Ing, let alone fill the entire hole. I am clinging to the thought Horacio was able to intervene.

Anya you are so right - Gab stole the show. I like to imagine he had great fun with his "lines" last night. I don't know how he kept a straight face through some of his scenes.

Yup, the wedding should be a doozy!

Diana
 

"Holey Guacamole", Julia you're killing me. That is so darn funny!

I don't know how Salvador was keeping a straight face last night. Maybe he was rubbing dirt on himself to hide his smirk. Not to mention his Very Loud moaning was totally over the top
 

I am watching Gael and Elisa and ask myself.. where is MY GAEL?? where is that wonderful simple humble young man who helped his own mother with her twisted ankle without even knowing who she was? where is the Gael who helped his own sister when she had the accident on the road without knowing it was his sister? where is that Gael who had the wonderful scenes with Loopy where Gael had no clue what Loopy was talking about just after Ingrid showed her face to Loopy? where is that Gael that woke up and had the reconciliation scene remembering old times with Damian once Damian came to the church to try to figure out why Gael was mad at him?
where is THAT Gael?? what have the writers done to him?? why have they turned him into that paranoial jealous selfish brat??
 

who replaced Gabino's bandages? or did he replace his own bandages? i remember Ramona removed his bandage to put the 'cream' on his wound, but where did she get the hospital grade bandages?
 

whoa!! he's got the old dirty bandana on his hand again!!
 

wow!! all hell breaks loose tomorrow!!
