Doña Bárbara - Wed., Sept.. 24: Luisana and Mauricio leave Altamira; Toño wakes up with more than hangover

Another great episode last night. Thanks Margarita for the summary of Tuesday's episode.


Luisana is rude to Cecilia and Marisela flips out and says that she has had enough of being nice to someone who just whines and complains all the time.

Santos goes out to look for Lorenzo and finds DB who has come to tell Santos that he can't marry Luisana. She manages to get him to have sex with her again. Afterwards he tells her that he is still going to marry Luisana. DB threatens Luisana and Santos ties her hands behind her back and scares off her horse leaving her to walk home. Not surprisingly, she is furious. When Santos gets back to Altamira after finding Lorenzo at Mr. Danger's house, he decides to take Luisana to San Fernando and away from the danger from DB. Only Cecilia and Lorenzo will be left behind.

Josefa and Federica undress the passed-out Antonio. Josefa is impressed with his 'equipment.' Mujiquita walks in on them and Josefa spins the plan out as benefiting him. She says that Pernalete will give him a promotion when thanks to this plan, Federica marries Antonio. Mujiquita seems to buy this but he has a really big mouth and he will probably rat Josefa out down the road.

Mauricio notices Marisela's new ring. He advises Marisela to show the ring to Santos.

Federica gets into bed with Antonio.

On her walk home, DB falls and comes face to face with a rattlesnake. Eustaquia is worried about DB not coming home but the ranch hands refuse to go look for her.

Gervasia confesses to the other terneras that she is preggers by Leon Mondragon.

In a really funny and sad scene, Maurice says goodbye to Pajarote. Pajarote gives Mauricio gifts from the other ranch hands. A lucky rope, a knife and a tanned snakeskin - all things that Mauricio really doesn't want but he takes them in respect for the spirit in which they were given. He gives Pajarote a hug. Mauricio is such a wonderful character. I hope he comes back.

DB show up with her employees at Altamira looking for Santos. Cecilia tells her that Santos has gone to San Fernando. Her ranch hands search Altamira. BP finds a piece of Luisana's underwear and he decides to keep it.

Antonio's reaction when he wakes up next to Federica.

DB goes to the river and yells at Santos to to leave. [The boat and DB were obviously not filmed together.] The previews seem to show that Luisana has a relapse.

  1. Marisela is great ! Good thing she
    has not found Santos at it again !
    The plot should now start to be interesting for my part, as hopefully Santos will discover Marisela in all her inner & outer beauty in `la capitale`. Genesis Rodriguez is so beautiful as a brunette, & `au naturel` (too much makeup in D.Chocolate-had a harsh look ). Marisela should become very
    articulated & elegant young woman-
    can`t wait for that moment. Hope
    Santos has a really hard time,with a young handsome ombre-rival, to win Marisela..once he wakes up that is ! can`t anyone give a tint
    to handsome CM & get rid of his
    seducing silver hair ..maybe ok for
    DB,Luisana, but kind of hard for our protegée,yet mature, unspoiled,
    and the product of a hard life in the woods with little attention & affection...yet a beautiful person
    who undoubtebly be a breath of fresh air for Santitos, if not an extraordinary catalyst he never
    dreamed, imagined of having along with children of course. I see more
    chemistry between Marisela & Santos
    than with DB. More of a mental, psychological challenge to Santos.
    EGonzales acts well,is sympathetic but posessive & old for Santos.`CM is like James Bond: doesn`t sweat, has always perfect hair,& is never
    bitten by mosquitoes`.. somewhat
    frustrating for her she states in an interview - laughs! I also love
    Mauricio- he is adorable,so is
    Cecilia, Eustaquia, Casilda and
    Primito. All the characters are well chosen & tinted. The TVnovela is great and CMeier tops as usual.

  2. I would think that returning to San Fernando means that Gonzalo, or whatever the name of the character played by Juan Pablo Shuk is, will reappear. He is already interested in Marisela. If he ends up at Altamira hiding from justice, he could make a play for Marisela. So far JP Shuk still just seems like Feonando from PdG to me. I hope he can develop a new character.

  3. Luisana is really not pretty, even at her best. Everybody is more than generous with her including
    Santos. Full of remorse for her, he is again about to make a 2nd
    false judgment call - marry Luisana
    We must wait for time to pass, seasons to go by, for the right
    boat to pull in..Luisana has come
    to fully know Marisela`s love for
    Santos. somehow feel she will be
    kind to Marisela & step aside for
    her sake & chance with Santos.
    Luisana`s character & view of life
    seems will change for the better
    thanxs to Marisela`s well deserved criticisms. What will San Fernando
    reveal...this telenovela is great.

  4. Great photos, Jean. Unfortunately, my DVR recording stopped before the end because the beginning of the recording had Señor Bush talking about the economic crisis. Won't say more about that; this is not a political blog.

    I had an extremely busy week and so didn't watch all four of this week's capitulos until Saturday.

    Not sure where they're going with Luisana's illness. I disagree with Anonymous. I think she's very pretty, even with the "sickie" makeup they have on her.

    Poor Antonio. Seems likely Federica will invent a false pregnancy to seal the deal.
