Caray, Caray!

Recap by the amazing Sneaky Two Shoes!!!   Grazie Tantissimo!!

(Ok folks I got to start out with an apology, this was a night of just one thing after another, first the audio was muffled on my recording and I spent an hour taking apart and cleaning my VCR to no avail so I’m sure I missed some dialogue so this recap is going to be extra short) 

Just as Fi is asking Pietro why he is so distant with her and what was it that his father told him that upset him so much they broke in w/primary results so I missed whatever lame excuse Pietro came up with and the next thing I got was the funeral at the house.

Roxi cries and eulogizes  her mother; how nice she was, and how she let her get away with everything, and how mean Roxi was. Then, Fed comes home and makes a ruckus about the funeral for the servant till Roxi gives her a well deserved slap and tells the priest he can get on with the funeral.

Then we go to Pietrella’s room and Pietro’s unwillingness to even lie in bed beside the woman who may be his half sister. He goes to shower (repeatedly I’m sure) while Fi goes to sleep. Pietro flashes back to all their kisses from the very first, till Sergio’s voice breaks in to his memories saying Fi might be his daughter.

Next morning Pietro hasn’t slept in the bed and left a note for Fi saying he’s gone to resolve something.



He’s gone to talk to Juli and Santino about getting a DNA test between Santino and Fi  w/o telling Fi. When she calls he lies to her saying he’s in the city, she senses he’s hiding something, and he’s about to tell her, but Santino and Juli frantically signal no and he makes something up about ACorp – and then tells them we got to get this solved now.

An attorney comes by the Rancho w/a posthumous video from Dante that he wanted them to see if anything happened to him. Fed wants to see it the mostest. Dante confesses to killing Gabe by accident, and loving Fed and then says if something happens to me it could be Fed’s doing, and she freaks out and stops the video ( yeah that doesn’t look guilty at all)

After some family arguing which is mostly Fed yelling about how innocent she is, the lawyer tells Elo that the video was made a few days before Dante’s death. More arguing. Both Elo and Fed want to call the police.

Santino, Juli, and Pietro agonize about Fi maybe being Sergio’s daughter. At length. Its agonizing.


Jump to Papi Chulo talking to Os, reminds him of when he was a kid playing in the park. Agustin was there watching Gael from a distance, Os  fell down, and Os sr was going to smack him one because an Angeles doesn’t do that or whatever, but Agustin stepped in and stopped him and defended Os from his dad, and Os sr never hit his kids again. (tra la tra la) Os starts out sarcastic but as he remembers the event is amazed and won over, now he wants to see the video of his mom w/Agustin.

Fed tells Pilar  how unfair it all is – Dante’s video ect. and she hides a brown bottle wrapped in a scarf in Pilar’s drawer. Domingo sees her at the drawer and questions what she’s doing, but Fed says she’s checking he’s doing his job right and threatens him and sinisterly slides out shushing Domingo as he sweats.

Fi and Gia talk about Pietro’s distance but Fi doesn’t tell Gia about finding out about being adopted, instead they talk about cheering Roxi up and knowing how it feels to lose a mom. Fi thinks Gia is so brave thinking of others when she is waiting for a heart transplant. Gia thinks Fi is wonderful too.


Pietro and Sergio talk DNA test. If she’s your daughter, you’re going to lose a son. They argue about Sergio’s bad behavior in the past and his generally being a crappy father.

Os and Sonia talk about his childhood trauma. Did he know or somehow sense that his mother stopped loving his father and that’s why he has a problem with women? Has he been trying to punish his mother all these years? Did what happened when he was a little boy make him into a bad person? Sonia soothes him and reminds him he has changed a lot for the better lately, now he’s good, and he still has his brother, they are still brothers and he has a baby on the way, all good things, and she gives him a comforting hug.

Elo asks Fi where Pietro is and Fi confides that she doesn’t know – she’s worried and she’s pretty sure he didn’t sleep at home last night and there’s something he’s not telling her.


At ACorp Os and Pietro discuss Gael’s true parentage and whether they should tell the whole fam about it. You can tell that because of the uncertainty about  Fi’s parentage Pietro is super uncomfortable with the whole convo. ( And  there my tape ends and that one is on me, I should have checked more closely to make sure I had enough room. Sorry. But Lila said she’d fill in the last few minutes. Yay Lila! )

Os seeks Pedro's counsel on what to do about Gael's having a different father, a NON ANGELES.  Essentially, Osvaldo is actually concerned that not only will their mother's image be tarnished but Gael would lose his share of the inheritance!  Pedro tells him that if it were him he wouldn't reveal the secret.  Pedro feels they are not responsbile for their parents actions and why should something be revealed that would not only hurt the family, but more importantly, hurt Gael.  Pedro says and Os agrees that as far as he is concerned, Gael IS an Angeles.  Pedro thinks their shoulders are broad enough to bear the weight of this secret without sharing this with the family.  Os asks what would Pedro do if he found out he had a sibling by a different mom or dad.  Ooops.  This hits home but Pedro recovers.  He doesn't know what he would do.  All he can do is advise Os to think it through calmly and thoroughly and make his decision.

Investigators come to the house to search in light of the Dante video.  Fidel receives them.  Freddie gets into an argument with Sergio and Sonia over her probable guilt and the need for the investigators to start in her room.  Fidel finally ignores them and shows the investigators to the family's private wing to begin the search.  After they leave, Freddie pulls the Devil card.  [Lucifer is seated on his throne and there are two minions standing by his left and right hands.  Their boodies are fuzzed out. What a hoot!]  Sergio says its Freddie's card.

Eloisa calls Pedro and tries to pressure him to come home.  Eloisa says they are about to call Gianna to come in for her transplant:  a heart has been found!  His wife needs him.  He is evasive and doesn't yield so they put Gigi on who talks softly, sweetly and plaintively about how nervous and afraid she is.  He gives her a pep talk and says soon he hopes to break away and come to the hospital to be with her.  She tries to give the phone to Fifi to talk to him but he ducks out real quick and hangs up.

Finally, our usually sunny, smiling and chirping Fiorella shows us she can rip folks a new one along with the best of them.
