Doña Bárbara - Tues., Oct., 13 - Female hearts are in a flutter - the "Quita Dolores" is in town
Federica makes her conquest of the last ranch hand at Altamira, Maria Nieves. Later she will tell Josefa that he was a machine gun, firing everywhich way. Josefa tells her to concentrate on her objective - Antonio.

Once again, Antonio tries to tell Santos about his relationship with Cecilia and once again Santos misunderstands in a way that makes it impossible for Antonio to do so.

We have some 'time passing' scenes...
Cecilia and Antonio fool around at the school and he leave flowers there for her much to the amusement of the students.

DB does witchcraft at the Well of Sighs.
New plot developments:
Dr. Arias is running for mayor of Progresso against Pernalete and is seeking allies like Santos. Pernalete has the Doña and he cheats.
New plot developments:
Dr. Arias is running for election mayor of Progresso against Pernalete and is seeking allies like Santos. Pernalete has the Doña and he cheats.

Marisela believes that Santos has gotten over DB but he is still mooning around for her. When Melquíades tells DB that he saw Santos go to the Well of Sighs, she is ecstatic. She believes Santos will come back to her on his knees.

Marisela reads the news to the terneras that a hearthrob, Florencio "Quita-Dolores" translated as the "Heart Mender" is coming to San Fernando. Pernalate decides that getting this Florencio to come and perform in Progresso will be good for his mayoral campaign.

When Pernalete and Mujiquita are in SF to get Florencio, Mujiquita sees that "El Iluminado de Barinas" is in town. He is a faith healer. He is also one of DB's rapists.

Federica's efforts to get a sperm donor are in vain. She isn't pregnant.

The "Quita-Dolores" is interested in coming to Progresso for the money and to meet Doña Barbara, whom he has heard of and who he calls: cacica del arauca - indian chief (female) of the Arauca.

Santos hears that a naked woman has been swimming at the Well of Sighs. Melquíades tells DB that Santos has gone there. DB waits for Santos at the Well.

Fuego - 10/13 - Monday: A cachetada, a machete, a boda, a loada crapa
At the tienda, Sara chats with Eva that she thinks Demian is interested in Sofi. Sara hopes he distracts her but Eva is convinced Sofi is a one woman man, (ok this was a typo, but I think it's kind of hysterical so I'm leaving it in) and that man is none other than shirtless wonderboy, Juan.
Speaking of him, the campesinos accept him into their brotherhood of white outfit wearing field workers. Medicineman and his scary skull stick look on secretly and foam at the mouth.
Dem is sorry he didn’t know she knew them or he wouldn’t have insisted. Sofi says she won’t let it affect his contract. She is introduced to the magical Lusitano horse that induces flashbacks at one single touch. She remembers when she first touched Capricho. She says she has to go.
Franco and Oscar kwetch about Sofi’s ‘tude and don’t like seeing her with Dem, but agree he’s not so bad himself.
Sof runs off and sees Pablito who wonders who she is with, he wonders what she is up to with someone other than Juan. Crazy lady reminds him even if he were here they wouldn’t be together, that Juan robbed the spawn, Pablito refuses to accept it and tells her she’s nuts, well he should at least, and that Juan will be back. He knows it. Why are the kids always smarter than the grownups in novelas???
Crabby and Fern are strolling the square. She tells the gossip ladies they are married now, and soon will be married in the church. The gossip ladies feign politeness but their chipmunk voices tell us their real disgust.
They run to Paddy Tad to tell him the news and he declares "she’s married the killer of her husband!" The ladies (and I agree) are more upset that she has married her former son-in-law. Yeah, that’s the scarier thing, really. He proclaims she’s married to the true enemy of the whole family and flashes back to Feo's confession of killing Libia.
Meanwhile, Jime the immobile is back to her old ways and much to Oscar’s chagrin he can’t get her to even wince. He spews stuff about wishing she wasn’t this way and how he loves her and stuff and she thinks she will benefit much if she stays comatose and will learn if they are really telling the truth. That’s a pretty elaborate way to test the honor of your beloved. I guess if I’m desperate, I could try it some time. I’d have to be pretty bad off to stay in bed so long.
Franco shows up in the store and wants to buy something. Sara doesn’t really want to help him, but yes she does, but not. He says he wants a dress for a girl and she goes into a tail spin of jealousy. He wants her to try it on. She says she’s a salesperson not a model, but she lets him hold it up to her and rub it all over her. He ends up buying and then finally explains it’s for her and this earns the wrath as she throws him out and throws stuff after him. It’s weird, but you know, she looks an awful lot like another Sarah to me... check out Melinama’s postcard.
Hortensia apologies to Eugenia for forcing her and sets her free from her promise to marry Rigo. She cares for him much, but agrees she doesn’t love him, but in time she’s sure she will, just like he deserves. Alright we know the telenovela Gods rarely make that work out, but she is going forward with her promise to marry Rigo.
Sara fantasizes over her new dress and flashes back to happier times to Pablo’s glitter flashed serenade:
Con ganas de amar
Cuando yo me vaya se bien que
Tus ojos me van a extrañar
Vas a llorar por no verme
Renegaras de tu suerte
Y
Me vas a buscar ay ay ay
Me canse de tu forma de Amar
de tu hipocrecia de tu Vanidad
de verme al espejo
Llorando en silencio
Con ganas de amar
Todo el amor que sentia mis noches
Mis dias de nada sirvio
Para que tantos desvelos
Si al entregarte mis sueños perdi
El corazon ya me canse de tu
Forma de amar donde nada valgo donde no hay
Lugar a este cariño que muere de frio
Que no pede mas
Ya me canse de tanta soledad te tu hipocrecia de tu vanidad
De verme al espejo llorando en silencio
Con ganas de amar con ganas de amar con ganas de amar
Rigo’s head hurts and Eugenia comes upon him unexpectedly but he denies he’s feeling bad...ok, now I see where this is going. She wants to know why he doesn’t tell her he's in pain and he doesn't want her to be bothered with him. She says she’s not at his side out of pity. She swears she wants to marry him as soon as possible. He says he’s the happiest man in the world.
YEAH!!!! More naked swimming. Oh, bummer he’s not naked, oh well. Dr, Loose lips is, it looks like though, and the medicine goons faces agree. She says she only wants to swim with him. Yeah I do that all the time, swim naked with my guy friends. Skinny goofy guy tells medicine man he better kill Juan today or he’ll be dead.
The general greets Eugenia and Rigo and they thank him for his help to make Rigo better. They want him to be their padrino de lasso. He will, but who will be the Madrina? They look at each other questioningly.
Demian is laying it on thick now, he wants Sofi to forget that blasted sweaty breadmaker. In classic llorona fashion she cries how can she forget this man who....well she can’t, she’s cursed and it sucks, but she still loves him. Good old Demian hugs and holds her anyway. Yep she hates him again. Nope, wait she loves him. She pushes back Dem. Whoa, they kiss? Well, we have to have a commercial first of course. MUST...DRAGGG....OUT....SUSPENNNNSE....LOOONNGEERRR......
Ok, and we’re back and yes, they kiss, for a millisecond until Sofi yells at him for betraying her friendship. He loves her. She doesn’t want to hear it. She can never lover (also a typo but I think it's funny so I'm leaving it in) anyone again. She begs him to leave. He does so with his tail between his legs and she cries more.
Now it’s instantly Rigo and Eugenia’s wedding. I tell you these people throw weddings together faster than Martha Stewart can say muffin. Paddy Tad officiates and smiles are all around. OK, I just have to say it, I’m sorry, but this is a certain death sentence for the groom. Did we find out who was the madrina???
At the reception, Rigo’s brother’s girlfriend tells how much she likes her new job, that the guy treats her much better than Crabby did. Of course bro gets jealous.
Horty thanks the Reyes for their generosity in hosting the reception.
Thanks to the boys for hosting them, and more, they can stay at the Hacienda to live!! Everyone claps.
Quinti shows up with the king of the party, the pot of mole, which she very classily slaps up on the table and she has mole on her face for having tried it already!!
In the jungle, Juan meets up with the angry medicine man who wants to machete him to death. The fierce machete fighting continues until Juan nearly puts the blade into the other guy's belly. He stops and says he’s not a killer. Oh, but I bet that other guy is, sure enough, he runs after to slice Juan down on the rebound, but is halted when the pack leader stops him and proclaims that he is in debt to Juan for having spared his life and must give retribution. He explains that Juan deserves something from him, you know like spoils. Juan wants nothing from this man, but he is warned he must take something.
Ok. Oh no! Not the dreaded vaccinations!!!! Horror of horrors!! He announces that’s what he wants and the head guy proclaims it so and the medicine man shudders at the absolute horrible thought of having the entire town vaccinated. Curses!
Jime is faking again and Oscar is pleading again. He is so sad, and then, he kisses her. It’s much too much for our comatose cutie and she smacks him. He discovers her secret and she swears it has nothing to do with him, he says it does, the slap hurt. He begs her to swear to his face she doesn’t love him anymore and if so he’ll leave. He gets pretty darn close and well, Jime just can’t resist. After all she’s been laying still in bed for the last several weeks so I’m sure she’s got some pent up energy. This finally leads to love in the sack for our pair.
Sofi is wandering aimlessly in the foyer of the hacienda, and Feo comes up and wonders where she’s been every night, with her lover? Sofi tells him he’s her Ma’s husband so get off and what if Ma found out. He persists like the slime he is and she eventually has to push him off of her. Of course Crabby hears the commotion and wants to know que the heck? Sofi says the same as always, he’s accosting me. OH, but Feo has a secret weapon....tell your Mami Dearest what precious gift you offered me if I found your daughter. Go on, tell her. She doesn’t have to, Mami guesses and asks if it’s true. Our darling Snowfie, who just can’t tell a lie, says yes Mami, it’s true. And we close with Sofi being busted.

Cuidado: Friday 10/10/08- "Marichuy knocks the lights right out of Amador's head"
Patricio checks out Marichuy’s room and he’s not impressed with the decor.
Beatriz apparently took a few too many pills. She’s found by her two friends and she laments that Amador used her and he’s so obsessed with Marichuy, he kicked her to the curb (he was going to do that anyway, even if he wasn’t Marichuy-obsessed).
We are treated to a couple of scenes with Juan Miguel and Eduardo in “Seattle”. JM can’t wait to return home and his friend teases him that it’s because he can’t wait to see MC. Eddie asks his bud what’s he going to do about the monster-in-law, for sure she’s going to put a big monkey wrench in any plans JM has with MC. JM assures him that he’ll put MC before Onelia.
Vicente finds out what happened and why MC was in his place (to get a painting to hang on her bedroom wall). He sends MC away and tells her that he’ll take care of everything, and don’t say a word about this.
MC is distraught, but makes it to a pay phone. She calls Rocio and can only get out that she’s in the street somewhere. Rocio gets her to agree to meet her back at Cece and Pat’s place.
Stef and Isa rip on MC’s choice of décor. MC returns home and walks passed them. Rocio arrives shortly after and MC tells her all the sorted details. She soon hightails it over to Vicente’s apartment, running into the doctor on her way in as he’s on his way out. Vicente remembers her and lets her in. She notices that Amador has bandages on his eyes. He apparently has a burst blood vessel in his eye, that’s what the doctor (who’s Vicente’s acquaintance) said. Rocio asks if Amador could die, and Vicente indicates that we’ll have to wait and see (and for this I say Ojala).
Back at the castle, little Mayita is eating candy she’s got stashed somewhere. Her evil granny Onelia scolds her for eating the candy. Then granny has a conversation about how Mayita’s mother called. As said before, this kid is going to need some major therapy, good thing her dad’s a psychologist, perhaps he’ll get a discount. Mayita runs to her special place and has a talk with granny Marianita. They talk about her mom and GM tells Mayita that her mom will indeed return, just like she’s come back from a long trip.
Cece goes to check on MC. Cece thinks MC isn’t well and wants to call a doctor. MC assures her that she’s fine.
Amador wakes after Rocio leaves. He tells Vicente to get MC to come over or else he’s going to denounce her to the police.
MC has a nightmare and Cece comes to comfort her. She sees that cooing and hugs aren’t going to work and she pulls out the big guns, get this girl some Valium. The whole house is awaken by MC’s reaction to her nightmare. Patricio isn’t too happy about not getting a full nights sleep. Stef tries to be the “good” big “sister” and pumps MC for information on what happened to make her has such bad dreams and to react in such a manner. MC doesn’t want to talk.
In his hotel, in “Seattle”, JM stretches out on the bed and looks and MC’s email.
MC puts up a picture of Cande and talks to it. Stef comes in the room with some flowers and once again tries to get the skinny from MC. She says again that she doesn’t want to talk. Stef tells her that she can count on her, but MC wasn’t born last night, so she’s not falling for it.
Rocio talks to Vicente and he fills her in on Amador’s demands. Rocio tells MC about it.
Elsa’s parents want her to marry Eduardo.
Pat tells Cece that he won’t put up with another disruption from MC. Cece tells her husband that they need to help MC. Rocio asks them if it would be okay for her to take MC out of the house. They agree, but Pat cops an attitude about it. Cece says that MC must have had some sort of terrible thing happen to her when she was younger. Pat suggests that JM can examine her when he comes back (I’m sure he will).
Amador tells Vicente that he’ll be able to get MC to fall for him. Vicente isn’t so sure. MC and Rocio arrive. Amador begs MC to forgive him, saying he’s learned his lesson. He removes the bandages and exclaims that he can’t see. He crawls on the floor toward MC. She is obviously affected by the whole ordeal. She tells Amador that he should denounce her, but he says he won’t do it.
Isa and Cece pump Cande for some info on MC’s nightmares. Cande’s comments rings a bell and sets Isa to wondering if there isn’t some connection between MC and Cece.
Stef is using a thesaurus (I know, who woulda thunk). She’s decided to look up orphan so she can call MC some new names. How mature. Isa comes in and tells her something’s up.
MC returns home, Isa starts to press her for info on the nightmares and the start to discuss how sad MC’s life was. MC gives her a little info on what she knows about her parents. Her mother dumped her off with the priest after her husband and she separated. He apparently left the country and his family wanted nothing to do with his wife. Isa now knows what she’s suspected is true. She finds Stef and tells her that they’ve got to get rid of MC, she’s really Cece’s daughter. END OF EPISODE

El Cuerpo del Deseo, Mon., Oct. 13- PJ/S crashes the car and cops a kiss

Rebeca tells PJ/S that she wants to formalize their relationship. He is noncommittal but moderately encouraging.

Walter cuts the brake line of the car that PJ/S drives.

When PJ/S leaves in the car with Isabel, Walter is jumpy as a cat.

Walter must have fixed the gas pedal too because the car won't slow down on a level road even when it's not getting any gas. The car crashes. Isabel is ok but PJ/S is hurt. When Isabel gets close to him, he kisses her.


The one doctor in all Río Claro (He makes house calls. He works in the emergency room.) checks out PJ/S. It turns out that there is no concussion or broken ribs or anything - just bumps and bruises.

PJ/S leaves the hospital in the same clothes in which he was admitted. (If you are in an accident, the paramedics don't carefully take off your jacket so you can wear it again, they cut it off you.) Isabel tells PJ/S that he can stay on as the chauffeur if he tells her why he kissed her. PJ/S says, "I kissed you because I wanted to. You're a beautiful woman. Even if I were dying, I couldn't resist kissing you." Apparently, this explanation satisfies Isabel.

Isabel makes Andrés drive PJ/S home. Andrés insults PJ/S and he demands to get out of the car. Andrés says that, "The old man felt sorry for everyone. He recommended you out of pity."
PJ/S says, "I agree. That's why he promoted you to your present position. Otherwise, you wouldn't be any more than a mediocre employee."
Andrés tries to punch PJ/S but even injured, he faster and stronger than Andrés.

PJ/S's blood boils when he thinks about that Isabel treats Andrés better that she treated him and that he has her kisses, caresses and body - what PJ/S wants to have for himself or to destroy.

Ángela tells Andrés and Isabel about the lawyer who is representing her interests. They recognize this lawyer as a big threat to their plans to steal Ángela's inheritence. Isabel tries to convince Ángela that the lawyer is not trustworthy.

Gaetana has economic problems and PJ/S promises to help her. She is grateful.

Querida Enemiga Monday Oct 13 - This recapper has run out of patience with Lorena
Sara and Bruno plot how to poison someone, Hortensia is their target now right? No, I guess they are going to ruin the event that the Armendariz company has planned, put something in the food to make everyone drunk or high or something and cause a scandal.
Jaime calls Maruja, Vasco is going to be fine. Greta tells Maruja she is in love with a married man. Maruja goes on about how with her and Jaime it’s ok because his marriage was over before she got involved with him. Greta says uh yeah this guy too, but Maruja sees through it and says “He’s tired of her or you WISH he is tired of her?”
Omar and Zulema have another fight about forgiving Hortensia.
Hypocritical Lorena complains to Diana about Ern having not changed at all! There must be something in my past that I’m not remembering because this whole Lorena being a hypocrite is under my skin in a big way.
Ern shows up at Maruja’s house and nobody answers, nor does he get an answer when he tries to call.
Lorena whines to Diana some more. I don’t care.
Omar lays awake thinking about what Greta told him at the office. He smiles. He’s feeling pretty good about himself, but I think he knows better.
Diana tells Lorena to maybe go back to Alonso. Lorena speaks but I won’t listen to her so I don’t know what she said. Maybe she should go back with Alonso, since now I don’t like either of them.
Zulema and Lorena make plans to meet up later at Lorena’s school.
Dario and Paula tell Bettina that they are splitting up, again. Bettina, of course, is crushed. I do like that at least this time they are telling her together rather than isolating her and talking about the other behind their back.
Lorena teaches an old guy how to use a big knife. After class, Ern is outside waiting for her. He says he looked for her at Maruja’s house, was she out with Rosy? Loren just says “no” and keeps walking. Oh yeah Ern’s just supposed to “know” that she miraculously found her birth parents and moved into their house. SHAME ON YOU ERN, HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT WITHOUT BEING TOLD, YOU POOR EXCUSE FOR A MAN. Ugh I’ll try and relate the conversation but I have just had it with Lorena. She finally says, after they both act like babies, that she lives with her parents now, Alonso found out who they were.
Bruno lies to Alonso and says he wants to trade his night shift to spend time with his wife and baby and acts all nice but Alonso is too stupid to notice the difference. Alonso of course agrees to take his shift. Bruno calls Sara to say he got the night off.
Lorena tells Ern the story of the DNA test. She explains why Alonso was there etc etc and Ern buckles under and apologizes, though under the circumstances at the time, he did nothing wrong. He then wants to explain about Jimena, but two-faced wench Lorena won’t let him, she’s tired of hearing it. Lorena you are horrible and I hate you. She makes him listen to her story and when he even apologizes for not doing anything wrong, and then she won’t let him get two words out. Whatever. Let’s refocus the show on Julian and Rosy, or Vasco and Diana, and write Lorena and Alonso right out of it. Ern SHOULD be insisting right now that he hasn’t done anything wrong, but instead keeps asking for forgiveness and a fresh start. Write him out too. These people make their own problems and then we’re supposed to feel sorry for them. I don’t.
Jackie falls deeper into her cult and gives the lady more money. The lady wants more, Jackie hands it all over. What a sucker.
Ern and Lorena love each other, but the extremely stupid conversation that leads nowhere continues. She refuses to believe him, she has lost confidence in him, though HE HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG. I just can’t get over this. He didn’t do anything! She didn’t do anything with Alonso either, but he let her explain and he got over it. Zulema shows up for their meeting, Lorena leaves with her. Ern looks sad. He should look like “WTF?” since he didn’t do anything wrong.
Omar tells Greta that there is no chance for something, he is married and has a family. She tries to convince him, even puts his hand on her chest to feel her ‘heart’. He gets flustered and leaves, she thought bubbles “he’ll fall.” So she is actively trying to steal him away. Everyone on this show is growing more loathsome by the minute. Where are Julian and Rosy for some comic relief?
Lorena cries to Zulema, blah blah blah.
Hort is out of bed, when did that happen? She is at her desk, the nurse brings her a drink. And she’s talking! She asks Augusta if she knows how to drive, I guess she wants to go somewhere…
Zulema and Lorena continue to talk. Another fight about Hortensia, Zulema won’t let it go. I agree with her, really. How can you forgive what Hort did. Jaime, maybe, since he was a wimp and Hort steered him.
A cab arrives at the mansion, the driver gets out a wheelchair. Augusta puts Hortensia in the chair and she pushes her towards the car – and a hand stops the chair. It’s Zulema. Hort immediately asks Zulema to forgive her. Oh I guess this was the end of the cab ride, it wasn’t the mansion, it was the lesser house. Hort took a cab over here to apologize. Lorena is shocked that Hort can talk. They go inside. Zulema isn’t very nice, as expected. She pulls out a baby outfit, the only thing left from 22 years of thinking her baby had died. She goes on to describe (at length) the suffering she has lived with all this time. Zulema decides to forgive Hort so she doesn’t have to spoil her new happiness with rancor. She doesn’t seem to REALLY forgive her, but she says she does. Zulema leaves the room. Hort apologizes to Lorena some more.
Greta comes in to talk to Omar, he says he doesn’t want to continue what they were talking about before, but she says no, she thinks she’s going to ask Victor to move her to another office. Omar says that’s probably for the best. She was NOT expecting that answer. I guess big boobs don’t ALWAYS get you your way, just most of the time. Her plan backfired big time here.
Lorena tells Zulema that Omar will be happy with what happened today.
Barbara wants Vasco to bail out and come home, but he wants to stay and take care of business. Jaime shows up with someone to take Vasco’s statement.
Diana and baby show up at home, Lorena and Zulema tell her about Hort’s visit. Zulema feels free now that the business with Hort is over. Zulema and Lorena want Diana to work for them if she can’t get her old job back.
Ern gets the job as the new TV chef.
Dario has a tearful goodbye with Bettina and Paula. He’s off to Monterrey. Dario gives Paula his car and says to call him any time when she needs something. Lots of crying. Dario is getting into the cab when Jackie runs up and wants his forgiveness, she is getting it from everyone. She tries to explain, he is suspicious. He is angry that she ruined his family and finally says “ok I forgive you, now shut the hell up.” She gives him some kind of new age blessing and he can’t get out of there fast enough. Jackie then rings the bell and wants to talk to Paula and Bettina. I guess she thinks she can get forgiveness from everyone in one day if she keeps moving.
Toribio continues his Tai Chi. The instructor seems to really like him and flirts with him, just in time for Carmelita to show up and be really jealous and bitchy.
Paula tells Jackie to make like a tree and get out of here. Paula tells her an acid bath couldn’t purify her, go to hell, get out! Jackie gets on the floor and begs, making Paula laugh. Bettina says fine, I forgive you, you can go now. After Jackie leaves, they laugh and think she has gone completely crazy.
Bruno and Sara are sneaking around at night, Sara has something she is going to put in some food. Bruno tells her to be careful so she doesn’t kill anyone. She hides from a night watchman, I guess the guy patrols but doesn’t lock doors, Sara had just walked right in. She injects some chemicals directly into a bunch of steaks and returns them to the cooler.
At home, Lorena gets a big bunch of flowers. She acts all happy and surprised. She is so dumb, they have to be from either Ern or Alonso, and whoever it is, she’s going to be grumpy about it. So how can she be all “oh for ME?” when they show up? They are from Alonso, who sends along a love note. Of course, right away she gets her stressed look and doesn’t want to get into it. The doorbell rings again, more flowers for Lorena. Obviously from Ern then, right? She gets all happy again. Jeez she’s like a dog, they will let you hurt them over and over and still be happy to see you. And yes, as soon as she reads the card, she gets mopey again.
Ern has a drink and remembers making out with Lorena. And then taking off her shirt, etc.
Lorena’s family laughs and votes on who she should go with, while she just looks pained. Kind of an Alonso look. Maybe that’s an indication.
Sara exits the building, Bruno who has to be negative about everything all the time tells her she used too much. Then why did you give her so much to use, dumbass? They run off.
Lorena and Zulema talk about how great Omar is.
Greta tries to get somewhere with Omar again. He tells her no, so she just jumps him and kisses him. She won’t take no for an answer. He is an idiot and just stands there and lets her paw all over him. Not an idiot for letting some hottie kiss him, just for letting her do that when he is already married.
I did this from youtube, so I apologize that I don’t have any preview for you. I expect we’ll see Ern and Alonso chasing Lorena and Lorena whining to everyone about how those two act but not mentioning that she does the same thing but I guess for her it’s ok.

No Friday Cuidado recap? Anyone want to discuss the show?
Stef tried to ingratiate herself to Mari. She wants Mari to tell her what the nightmares are about, undoubtedly so that she can use that information to terrorize her. Also, she spent time looking up synonyms for "orphan" to tease Mari with, and we learned that she's a slow reader.
Patricio continued to be mean to Marichuy.
We met Elsa's parents, and they are super-annoying in a funny way, and really want her to marry Eduardo. She rolled her eyes at them.
JM and Eduardo are on their way home.
What else?

El Cuerpo del Deseo, Friday, Oct. 10 - PJ/S finds out the truth about Isabel and Andrés and vows revenge
On Thursday, PJ/S found out that Isabel and Andrés were planning to defraud Ángela out of her share of PJ's fortune. He warns her not to sign anything without consulting a lawyer that she can trust and gives her the name of a lawyer that PJ had confidence in. (Ángela is wearing a really horrible outfit here.)

Sure enough, at the party, Andrés and Isabel try and get Ángela to sign the document but she refuses.

Valeria sees PJ/S go into the door to the basement.

Andrés and Isabel go to the study to discuss how angry they are that Ángela refused to the sign the document. Unbeknownst to them, PJ/S is in the secret room behind the portrait of his first wife. He overhears them talking about their plot to get PJ's money.

He opens the picture and sees them kissing.

Poor PJ/S is devastated.

He leaves the house without telling anyone.

He goes to the bar and hooks up with a working girl he met there before. He sees Isabel, not her, though.

Finally, he tries to strangle her and the club bouncers throw him out. For some reason, Gaetana is at the club and she takes him home.

A gratuitous shower scene.

PJ/S goes back to the house and manages to keep his job much to Walter's disgust. PJ/S and Walter declare themselves as enemies.

Doña Bárbara - Wed.-Fri. Oct. 8-10 - Finishing school and fences- lots going on in the llanos.

Santos chews out his employees for uncivilized behavior and tells them not to carry weapons.

The next day Santos tells Antonio and Carmelito that they are going to Progresso to send a telegram and buy some stuff at the hardware store. He has decided to sell his house in the capital and build a fence between El Miedo and Altamira.

Twice Marisela hears people saying, "El que quiere besar, busca la boca," "He who loves shows it with a kiss." She decides to try that herself.

She offers a kiss to Santos but he is horrified.

The doctor wants Antonio to help him win Cecilia but Antonio tells him that Cecilia is sacred and to stay away from her.

Federica goes after the second of Santos' employees. She says, "Carmelito, sabes que yo sufre mucho de cosquillas?" "Carmelito, did you know I am very tickleish?" She shows him where and one things leads to three times with Federica astride him like a horse.

A furious Marisela tells Santos that it is time to take her father back to Altamira.

Josefa asks Federica about Pajarito and Carmelito. She says that she would take both, "Because one wins for size and the other for technique." ["Porque uno gana por tamaña, pero el otro gana por maña."]

Santos and Lorenzo decide to send Marisela to a finishing school. She is horrified and promptly decides to leave Altamira.

The girls at the Sandoval house see Marisela coming and know that something happened at Altamira.

Marisela tells them that her life is ruined.

DB shows up at Altamira with a lot money that she wants to lend to Santos so he doesn't have to sell his house in the capitol. He says that he can't be bought and that there is big wall between them.

Balbino Paiba tells DB that Santos is buying barbed wire ["alambre de púas"] and she figures out that Santos is going to build the fence he has talked about between Altamira and El Miedo.

In a very funny scene, Marisela says that she doesn't need to go to a finishing school. Maurice left a book on etiquette. After telling Lorenzo not to slurp his soup and Santos not to put his elbows on the table, she shows that she has a little more to learn. She says that the book tells about the proper behavior for all private and 'pubic' (public) events in the whole big udder ('ubre,' I'm not sure what Spanish word she meant.) ["eventos privados y púbicos en toda grand ubre."] Then she takes a giant bite of cake.


Santos is surprised to discover DB building the fence between their properties.
