El Talismán #95 Tue 6/12/12 The Just Desserts Cart Is Beginning to Roll In and Why is Everyone Wearing Blue*?

Recap by Rosemary la Otra

Antonio is pondering how in the diablo Pig figured out he was poisoning him.

Rennie*, in a deep sea blue shirt, and Rita and Dr. Doh-mo are arguing amongst themselves.  When Doh tries to exit, Antonio is there at the door and asks “Where do you think you're going?”, and pushes Doh back onto the couch. Antonio tells them they could all go to jail.  Renato begs to differ that he and Rita aren't involved.  Antonio tells them “of course you are, so listen up, here's the plan, but first where's the bottle of poison?”

Pedro tells Margarito about the phone call he overheard and that Lu and Antonio are poisoning Pig, and he wants to go to the police.  Margarito points out the irony that Pedro wants to save the man who has always hated him.

Maria and Manuel*, in his turquoise tie, are still basking in the afterglow of their wedding with candlelight and toasts.  Her hair is pinned up into a cute curly bob that is attractive on her.

As Camila*, in a teal sleeping tank top, dreams of Pedro, a new day dawns and Pedro*, wearing a navy blue tee,  is sleeping on the couch.  He is dreaming of Camila*, wearing a light blue skirt, and even mumbles “Camila” aloud.  He is awakened by a presence and Pop! Goes the Sleazel (oops, wrong tn), there stands Lu in her thigh high F-me boots.  She had overheard his mumblings, but will play sweet for the moment. She asks why he didn't come sleep with her, and he tries to change the subject about her needing to go visit her dad.  He also talks to her about changing her attitude, and living in the real world, and being honest with him, if she wants this to work.

For our daily dose of comfort food, Army and Angel are noshing on fries.  Elvira comes out wheeling the match to Doris' suitcase.  She's saying she can't stay there since Angel kicked her out, which he denies.  Then she goes off about how Maria is worried Manuel will leave her for Elvira.  The boys say as simply as they can “Manuel no te ama” as if they were talking to a kindergartener.  She isn't hysterical, but she is walking around with that proverbial stick up her butt.  Forget the Sleepytime Tea, give her some Laxatea.

Of all the loose ends that need to get wrapped up, we waste time on the Sarita / Gabe relationship.  Santiago*, in a blue rasperry shirt, is giving love advise to Gabe.  I kid you not! 

Meanwhile, Sarita*, in a blue denim jacket, and blue belt is talking with Geno*, in her blue plaid shirt that is over a robin egg blue cami, about poor Sarita's single status.  Sarita says she is going to try to get pregnant so Gabe will have to marry her.  Geno hurries and puts the kibosh on that idea. Great PSA.

While Pedro* is changing into his blue-button-up dress shirt, Lu stands out on the veranda berating Sarita for not being able to get Gabe to marry her.  Sarita screams a CALLATE and just then Gabe and Santiago walk up and Gabe informs todo el mundo, including Rude Lu, that he is going to marry Sarita. First Sarita says “en serio?”, then she turns on Lu saying “now who are you going to marry since Pedro is already married to Camila?”.  Really, isn't rubbing someone's face in it the best part of getting engaged? 

Pedro and Padre walk up and both think it is maravilloso, but when Padre has Gabe alone he asks him if he's sure about this as it's a very serious matter.  WAIT!  Isn't Padre the one who has been hounding Gabe just as much as Sarita has?  Gabe admits his doubts, so Padre says he won't marry them, but then when faced with the prospect of not marrying Sarita, Gabe panics and realized her really does love her.   

Aaaahhhh!

But wait... Geno is doing her work and those peacocks* are blaring again.  No, that's Sarita running up to tell Geno the good news.  Geno is a bubble bustin' voice of reason saying given the circumstances of the proposal, she thinks it was just a Pity Proposal. 

Commercial:  Has anyone actually ordered the Fir Slim?

Antonio comes in and takes Camila's cell phone out of her hand and locks her in the bedroom.  Then he tells Doris and Poncho they need to run some things to the post office for F1, and finally he sends Domitila and Tracy*, in a blue hemmed skirt, to the end of the ranch to clean the farthest cabin. 

Here come the hoi polloi of Fresno, Rita, Rennie and Dr. Doh, to El Alcatraz.  Why have they been called there?  They hope to get paid.  When Maria (not Tia, but the nun from Sound of Music) made those clothes using the drapes, she must have left the valance.  Rita* is wearing it as a blue-gray ruffled dress.

Pig, sitting on the edge of his bed, takes a gulp of water and runs with his mouth covered to el bano. We know from past shows this means he has morning sickness and is pregnant.  Antonio sneaks in right then and takes Pig's gun from the nightstand and shoves it in his back waistband.

Pig comes out of el bano sweating like a... well, sweating like a pig. Pig tells Antonio he is not going to get away with poisoning him.  Antonio aims the gun at Pig and says “Oh ya?”.  They get into a fight with lots of wrestling and screaming.  Camila is listening from her locked door.

The pig is on the floor, Antonio is hollering that no one will come help him because nobody loves him.  He's pointing the gun.  Pig is calling him a coward for bullying him when he's so weak.  Antonio replies “just like you did to me when I was a little boy, you hit me and spat on me....”  Pig blurts out that Antonio isn't even his son, he is the bastard child of his mother and Antonio surprises us with the answer that he always knew that.  Sad.

Pig make a laughable grab for the gun just as Dr. Doh-Mo walks in with a huge syringe.  Pig tries to tackle Doh and Antonio calls for Rennie.  The three guys hold him down while Doh sticks the syringe in Pig's neck.  Yes, the pig got poked.

Camila is hollering to get out.  Rita hears this and thinks “Is Camila here?”

 Antonio pays Renato and tells him to go far, far away.  When Doh asks for money, Antonio throws lots of bills at him.  lol

Pig, the bloviating ignoramus, has been silenced and is immobile except for his eyes.  His mind is alert, though, and as Dr. Doh fluffs pillows, Pig thought bubbles:

    -As soon as I can move I swear I'm going to kill you!

    -Bastard, you betrayed me!

    -I hope both you and Antonio burn in hell!

    -I will rise as the 12^th Imam!   (well, maybe not that one)

Antonio gives his best diabolical laugh yet and puts the gun back in the nightstand.  What can Pig do with it, after all?  He then goes to Camila's room and tells her that despite the screams she heard, she is to act tranquila in front of people.  Oh, and Pig had a stroke.

Ho-ris is at the Fres-Ho House, engaging in pillow talk with Lucas.  He tells her that Antonio and Dr. Jaime have bad intentions for Pig.   I hear The Incredible Mr. Limpit dolphin sounds as background music. 

Lu and Pedro arrive at El Alcatraz.  They walk into Antonio and his Chula.  Antonio announces that he and Camila are expecting.  Camila concurs.  I am trying to read the expression on Pedro's face.  Does he know it must be his?  Is he doubting the pregnancy?  Whatever, it's a shame he covers that gorgeous smile of his with a thin lipped closed mouth grin.

Camila is very incomoda with Antonio's hand around her.  They talk about if they want a boy or girl and what about a name.  Camila says she wants a girl and to name her “Mariana”.  (Okay, who here suggested ust that this past weekend?)   Antonio says “too bad she died”.  Pedro says “no, she was murdered”.

Incidental:  F2* and her friend* are at the ice cream shoppe.  F2 is venting about everything and everybody, except for Camila, who she kinda feels sorry for now.
