http://www.esmasestrellas.com/ramona/ramona_sin.html. Sinopsis: La
historia épica-western, se desarrolla cuando California se une a Estados Unidos
y los mexicanos que ahí se quedaron luchan por sus tierras. En este melodrama
de tintes trágicos, Ramona (Kate del Castillo) se verá expuesta al rechazo de
su propia familia y a la de la tribu del hombre que ama, Alejandro (Eduardo
Palomo), dando pie a una estrujante historia de amor en condiciones del peor
salvajismo y codicia. Importante será la presencia de doña Ramona (Helena
Rojo), pues representará la autoridad represiva y prejuiciosa, pero de igual
forma la fidelidad al romanticismo exarcerbado del siglo pasado, mientras que
su hijo Felipe Moreno (René Strickler), saca a flote su amor fraternal, que
pasará por el laberinto del incesto.

Excelente
adaptación de la novela pro-indigenista de Helen Hunt Jackson. Lucy Orozco y su equipo trasladan la

actuaciones de parte de Helena Rojo y

Esta historia
comienza en un valle californiano poco después de la guerra de Secesión cuando
Ramona Moreno Gonzaga de 18 años regresa a su casa. Siendo Ramona casi una niña, su madre, Doña Ramona Gonzaga, la
envió a un claustro.
Ella nunca

familia.
Las cosas han
cambiado en California. Un hombre sin
escrúpulos, llamado Jack Green ostenta ahora la estrella que simboliza la

USA 1/15-19/01. While Ramona prepares to leave the
convent, two Americans find gold on doña Ramona’s land. One, Davies?, is
captured by her men and is whipped (by Ramona and her capataz) before being
freed. Rex changes his name to Jack Green and makes plans with Dr. Thomas to
take the ranch and the gold. Marta and Felipe, Ramona’s brother, are excited by
the news that Ramona will return but her mother isn’t. There is a secret; Padre
Salvaterra tells doña Ramona that Ramona is not guilty of anything. On their
way to the ranch, Ramona and the nuns pass through El Pueblo de los Santos
which is shortly thereafter taken over by Green (as the new sheriff replacing
the sheriff he killed) and has its name changed to Spurtown, a town that
doesn’t want Mexicans or Indios. Meanwhile, the daughter of the bruja Maeta
gives Alejandro a medal to wear when he goes to the shearing at Felipe’s
hacienda. Doña Ramona married Alonso when she thought that Angus was dead but
has never stopped loving him. Ramona is happy to leave the convent because she
felt trapped there and she wonders why her mother has never visited. Felipe
buys a horse for Ramona and Alejandro trains it. Alejandro runs into Ramona’s
coach on her way but doesn’t recognize and is treated rudely by the drivers. Felipe
greets Ramona warmly but her mother doesn’t and tells her that she must obey
the rules and not leave the house. Nevertheless, Felipe takes her out riding
and they play hide and seek as they did as children. Ramona finds Alejandro by
the river and they are talking when Padre Salvaterra arrives and reprimands her
for talking alone to a semi-naked man. Just then Felipe arrives. He tells
Alejandro that he doesn’t want to lose his friendship. Doña Ramon finds
Felipe’s diary in which he comments that if Ramona were not his sister..... In
Spurtown, their father tells Ana Lupe and Fernando that they will have to leave
Spurtown because of the attitude toward Mexicans. Felipe confesses to Padre
Salvaterra his odd feelings for Ramona. The padre tells Doña Ramona that Ramona
is not responsible for his feelings. On another outing, Ramona disobeys Felipe
and leads her horse Rubi into the river. She is thrown and carried by the
current. Alejandro arrives and rescues her. It turns out that Felipe has feared
the water ever since he almost drowned as a child. Doña Ramona recalls how she
was going to run away with her son and Angus until Marta told her that he was
living with an Indian. Davies, Leopoldo and ? start to pull down the fences
around the hacienda. Ramona tells Marta of her strange feelings for Alejandro.

January 15 Author: Laura Date: 01-15-2001 21:17 ----------------- January 15, 2001
Capitulo 1 ----------------- The story is set in 1867 in California (it was
part of Mexico before the Mexican-American War in the 1840s). Ramona Moreno lives at a convent and has
been there for many years. She is called into the Mother Superior's office and
is told that the convent will be closing. At the ranch, Doña Ramona Gonzaga
(Ramona's mother and a widow) has heard the same news via letter and is upset
to learn that Ramona will be coming home to live. Felipe comes into the sala,
where the Doña (his mother) tells him the "terrible" news. Instead,
Felipe is happy to learn that Ramona is coming home. The Doña tries to explain
that things are better for her at the convent (but she has no choice; it's
closing). Felipe tries to console his mother and remains positive. He is
confused, however, why Ramona's return makes the Doña so upset. Felipe and the
Doña also discuss the situation regarding American gold prospectors in the
area.
In a nearby cabin, two gringos named Dr.
Thomas and Rex share whisky and discuss their dislike for Mexicans (like the
Morenos) living in California. At the same time, two gringo prospectors pan for
gold in a part of the river that is on the Moreno's property. They have little
respect for the Mexicans as well.
At the convent Ramona packs up her few
belongings because she will be leaving the next day. She admits to the Mother
Superior that a religious vocation isn't for her, anyway, although she loves
the convent and the nuns, etc. The Mother understands, and the two discuss how
life will be outside the safe walls of the convent. Ramona is a bit scared but
the Mother comforts her. Ramona asks the Mother Superior about her mother, the
Doña. Ramona is very sad that the Doña never has come to visit her at the
convent, etc. The Mother Superior defends the Doña and tells Ramona that the
Doña is a widow with the ranch to think about, as well as other obligations.
The Mother also reminds Ramona that it's not always safe for children to be
living on the ranches during this time. Felipe goes into the kitchen and is
thrilled to tell Martha that Ramona is coming home. At first she's excited
along with him, but she quiets down when Felipe mentions his mother (the Doña).
Martha knows the Doña doesn't like Ramona very much and right away knows there
could be trouble.
The ranch hands work on a fence and hear
the gold prospectors, who have found a large nugget in the river. The ranch
hands ride over to the river and with guns drawn, tell the prospectors they are
on private property. One of the prospectors escapes, but the other is lassoed
and captured. Felipe and the Doña eat lunch and discuss Padre Salvatierra, whom
they are expecting. During the meal Martha comes in to serve them and mentions
how nice it is that Ramona is coming home. The Doña is mad that she knows, and
Felipe explains that
he told her. It doesn't matter; the Doña becomes upset anyway and leaves the
room in a huff. Martha apologizes to Felipe, who isn't mad at all. He tells her
that he just doesn't understand his mother. He also tries to get Martha to tell
him anything that would explain the Doña's behavior. Martha doesn't offer much.
Meanwhile Padre Salvatierra is trying to get to the Moreno's ranch but his
horse won't obey him. At that moment a gringo puts a gun to his head and within
seconds steals the Padre's horse. At the Indian village Alejandro speaks with
his father and others about going to the Doña's ranch the following day. That
night, Ramona is spending her last night at the convent and dreams that she is
a little girl again. In her dream she overhears two servants discussing
"pobre Ramona" and the situation involving her parents. Ramona wakes
up from the dream all of a sudden, confused.
Felipe is in his study writing in his
journal. He continues to not understand his mother and her attitude towards
Ramona. While he is
writing Juan comes in and tells Felipe about the gringo they caught at the
river. Padre Salvatierra has arrived, and Martha and Felipe welcome him with
food and drink (the Doña has already gone to bed). They talk about gringos, and
Felipe tells the Padre that Ramona is coming home from the convent. Because he
knows the Doña's secrets, the Padre is immediately worried but tries not to let
his concern show. The next day, Alejandro and his father get their horses ready
to leave. A female Indian, Manuela, likes Alejando and gives him an amulet for
good luck on his journey. In return she wants the cross around his neck, but he
explains that it was his mother's. After Manuela leaves Alejandro's father sees
the amulet and gets mad, reminding Alejando they are now Christians. They
saddle up and leave. Dr. Thomas and Rex sit in their cabin/shack and consult a
map, making plans. In the ranch kitchen Martha tells Margarita, her daughter,
that Ramona is coming home. Margarita seems pleased but wonders why Ramona is
returning. Martha doesn't really know. Later Martha and Juan discuss Ramona's
return. The more that Martha thinks about it, the more worried she gets. Felipe
and the ranch hands have the gringo in a barn strung up by his hands. They want
to know what the gringos were doing on the Moreno's property, and where the
other guy is. The prospector, his hands and arms in pain, offers as little
information as possible. At that moment the Doña comes in the barn to look the
gringo over. She whips him once, then lets Lucio continue the lashings. Ramona
is dressed and ready to leave the convent for good. She and the Mother Superior
cry, knowing they will miss each other. Later Ramona is in a stagecoach for the
ride back to the ranch. She is accompanied by two nuns who don't appreciate the
scenery and wide open spaces as much as Ramona does. Cliffhanger: The Doña and
Padre Salvatierra are alone, and she is (still) upset about Ramona's imminent
return to the ranch. The Padre has a hard time understanding why the Doña
harbors ill feelings after all these years. The Doña exclaims, ¡No la quiero!
¡No la quiero! The Padre responds that no matter what has occurred, none of it
is Ramona's fault. Fin del capitulo

----------------- Ramona and the nuns take a break from the ride and sit eating
lunch by the side of a tree. Ramona tells them how she can’t she wait to get to
the hacienda. She reminisces about how she can’t wait to go horse-backing
riding, bathe in the river, and how she can’t wait to see her Nana and
Margarita. And also ,of course, her brother Felipe. One of the nuns asks her if
she can’t wait to see her mother also. Ramona answers of course. Ramona gets up
and asks if there’s still a lot of land to travel they arrive. One of the nuns says
that by the evening they’ll arrive to Todos Los Santos and by morning will
continue the last part of the trip, and God willing, they’ll arrive at the
hacienda by afternoon. One of the nuns (what are their names?? Hehe) is worried
that these lands are becoming more and more populated by Americans who have no
regard for foreigners. Ramona argues that they’re not foreigners and explains
how her great-grandparents established theses lands for hundreds of years ago.
But since the Mexicans lost the war, the nun responses, they’ll have to adapt.
Meanwhile, the ranch hands leave the captured gringo Davis on the side of some
road without untying his hands and without his horse. He tells them that some
day they’ll get their comeuppance. The Mexicans respond that they’re ready and
waiting for anything.
Back in Todos Los Santos Jack is still
with Doc Johnson, but now Maris has joined them. They’re all playing poker.
Jack is angrily asking him how could he let them take Davis. Maris covers up by
saying that there were like 50 Mexicans that took him. Jack tells him that he
better hope that Davis doesn’t talk that he was the one who sent him up there,
or else he [Maris] will see what’s coming to him. He doesn’t want his
reputation ruined. Back in the town a drunkard by the name of Nepo goes to the
sheriff’s office and tells him that Jack Green sent some men to the
Moreno-Gonzaga property to search for gold. The Sheriff decides to go have a
little chat with Jack Green. The sheriff arrives at Jack Green’s house and confronts
him about sending men to the Moreno-Gonzaga ranch to search for gold and tells
him that if it’s true he’ll have to arrest him. Jack Green tells him that’s
it’s true but tells him there will be no arrest. He pulls out a gun and points
it to the sheriff. He tells them that this lands belong to America now, he puts
the gun to the sheriff’s forehead and pulls the trigger. Killing the sheriff
instantly. Jack convinces the doctor to help him cover up the murder. Back at
the hacienda Alejandro and the Yahi Indian tribe arrive to the ranch and they
are greeted with open arms. Felipe tells them to get settled in and to get ready for the
blessing that the Padre Salvatierra is going to have for the good-fortune of
this hunting season.
Meanwhile Doña Ramona is in her room on
her bead with a small case remembering a lost love. She takes out a photo and
calls out his name, Angus. She wonders how could she forget him, today of all
days, and especially since his daughter is arriving soon. Felipe interrupts her
reminiscing by knocking on the door. She quickly hides the case in her closet
and tells him to come in. He came to inform her that the Indians have arrived
and to ask if she would like to come to greet them and to attend the blessing
that Padre Salvatierra is gonna have later. She’s reluctant and gives no
answer. Meanwhile the ranch-hands Juan and (????) and tying wooden fences and
notice Padre Salvatierra praying near a tree. (???) wonders if the rumor is
true that somebody is buried there. Juan tells him to stop gossiping and to his
job better, since his knots are very loose. Back in the house near the
courtyard Martha is on her way to take a statue of the virgin to Ramona’s room,
but Doña Ramona stops
her in the courtyard. She asks her where is she taking the statue. Martha tells
her that Felipe told her to put in Ramona’s room for her arrival. Doña Ramona
is annoyed that Felipe’s making too many considerations for Ramona. Martha tells her that what does
she expect, she’s his only sister. Doña Ramona allows her to take it to the
room. Doña Ramona
asks her if she knows where Padre Salvatierra is. Martha tells her that he’s
praying by the tree.
Back in Todos Los Santos Ramona and the
nuns arrive to El Pueblo de Todos Los Santos. Ramona is mesmerized by seeing how
the town has changed from when she was a child. The next morning Doc Johnson is
telling the American’s in the town that the sheriff was found murdered, and
that the responsible was a group of Mexican bandits. He tells them that they
got to get rid of all the Mexicanisms in the town and they can start by
appointing a new sheriff, an American. He tells them that he has the perfect
candidate, Jack Green. Ramona and the nuns hear all this when they’re on their
way to continue the voyage. Ramona wants to go see what’s happening since they
mentioned Mexicans but the nuns convince it that it’s better that they go on
their way. The townspeople are convinced by Doc Johnson and cheer Green on.
Later on, at the saloon, Jack Green is telling the patrons that they’re first
step towards progress is by changing the town name, he proposes Spur Town. Most
of the saloon agrees and cheers the approval of the new name, although one of
ladies in the saloon is not at all pleased by these changes and by this new
sheriff. Jack Green orders a round of drinks for everyone, on him. Meanwhile,
the stagecoach is on the path to the Gonzaga-Moreno hacienda when they see a
man slowly going through the path. Its Davis, he begs the nuns to give him some
water. The nun tells one the drivers to give him some water and bread. Back at
the hacienda Felipe shows Alejandro the horse that he’s gonna give to Ramona.
Alejandro asks him if he can test-drive it, Felipe tells him, of course.
Meanwhile Doña Ramona and Padre Salvatierra are near the tree talking about
Angus. Doña Ramona wishes she had seen him buried in the chapel, like he
deserved. Doña Ramona has flashbacks of the night where Angus asks her why
didn’t she wait for him. Younger Ramona tries to explain that after many long
cold nights and months she thought he had been killed in battle. Her parents
arranged a marriage between her and Alonso Moreno. Angus tries to convince her
to run away with him, but she refuses. She’s expecting a child. He tells her
that that doesn’t matter to him, that he’ll give the child his name. She tells
him that she loves him but that she can’t do that to her family. She walks
away…back to the present: Doña Ramona tells Padre Salvatierra that she never
forgot Angus and the sinful love that has stayed with her through all these
years. Meanwhile, in Ramona’s room Martha, Margarita and Delgadina are
arranging Ramona’s room and bed, supervised by Felipe. He wants the room to be
perfect for her arrival. Meanwhile, the stagecoach is approaching the
Moreno-Gonzaga hacienda but Alejandro and the horse get in the way of the road.
One of the drivers yells at him to get out of the way. Ramona tries to peek
through the window to see what is happening. Alejandro rides by Ramona’s window
and they see each other. He stops behind the stagecoach and looks back. Ramona
lifts her veil to look back at Alejandro.

3 Jack Green interrogates the man who
confesses to having told the Sheriff that his men were panning for gold on the
Moreno’s land. He says he can work for him. He’s got the best ears in all of
California. He tells him he’ll think about it. When he leaves he says he’s a
rat but he may be useful. Dona Ramona gives the priest a donation for the San
Juan Capestrano mission for converting the Indians to Christianity. Father
Salvatierra’s says with the influx of so many foreigners there are less and
less Catholics. They don’t value their culture or values. Dona Ramona says they
don’t value their land either. The interloper they just had was just one
example. They bend the rules to suit themselves. We hear the rider coming. He’s
crying out “Ahi viene la nina Ramona.” The churchbells sound and all the people
on the ranch rush out to greet her. Felipe is the first to welcom Ramona. Dona
Ramona doesn’t go out, she doesn’t want to see her. She’s afraid because she
doesn’t come alone—she brings her memories. The workers gather around Ramona,
Felipe says he can’t believe how pretty she’s gotten. First Marta hugs her,
then Margarita. A little girl comes forward. Her name is Delgadina. She says
Ramona is the prettiest one of all. She gives her flowers and Ramona gives her
a pin (probably religious). Felipe is
introduced to the nuns. Dona Ramona comes out. Ramona embraces her and says
she’s missed her very much. Her mother says she has to, although her expression
belies her statement. The nuns, priest and the family are seated for dinner.
Felipe wants to toast Ramona but her mother says it’s impolite since the nuns
and priest don’t drink. They said they’d make an exception so the mother makes
a simple toast “To Ramona.” Ramona toasts them and the happiness she has in seeing them again.
It’s been so many years she could hardly recognize them. Felipe says she’s so
pretty he would recognize her anywhere. Dona Ramona will put the nuns up for
the night. They say she’s been very generous. Ramona says she’s going to miss
them. The nuns say Ramona behaved very well, she was exemplary in her behavior.
Dona Ramona says that’s why she sent her, so that she would temper her spirit.
They gave her a rigid discipline to mold her character. Felipe says he’s proud
of her and knows she had to follow the strict rules. He says he has a surprise
for her and wants to take her outside to show her. Dona Ramona objects but is
convinced to let her go. Alejandro rides up on Ruby. Felipe tells her that the
horse is her surprise. He asks if she remembers Alejandro. She tells him she
saw him on the road yesterday. She didn’t speak to him because she didn’t know
who he was. Felipe says not to be so formal, she can speak to him as “tu.” He
says they should all go for a horseback ride tomorrow. When Alejandro says Ruby
might not be ready yet, Ramona says she’ll dominate her. Dona Ramona is praying
to the virgin. She says “she’s back. I can’t help but see Angus in her
gestures, in her look. I must accept her”. Felipe shows Ramona around the
house. She says he must be a very good manager because everything looks
beautiful. He can’t help it—there’s nothing else to do. Ramona asks if he’s got
lots of girlfriends. He says no, mother’s so alone he doesn’t go out much.
Ramona says she was afraid to see her mother again. Maybe it was because she
never knew why she was sent away. Felipe thinks its because she’s old fashioned
and thought she’d receive the best upbringing in the convent. Fortunately for
her, Ramona says, the convent closed and she’s not going back. He says she’ll
find lots to do. She says she’s missed him very much. Ramona goes to say
goodnight to her mother who objects to her using “tu” and says she prefers “Ud”
like Felipe. Ramona says
she’s forgotten. Dona Ramona says she must behave like a decent young woman.
She shouldn’t get familiar with the servants and there are a lot of strangers
around. Ramona wonders if she wants to lock her up again? Her mother says that
in a way she does. Ramona was looking forward to some freedom—horseback riding,
swimming in the river. Being locked in between four walls wasn’t easy. Her
mother wants to know if she’s faulting her? She says no, but it was like being
a prisoner. Her mother says that the house has rules. She can’t go out without
getting permission. A young lady can’t be running about. She must obey—didn’t
they show her that? Dona Ramona says she’ s tired and Ramona asks her what she
has to do to make her love her? She says she must obey her. Ramona is crying
and asks Marta why her mother doesn’t love her. Marta tries to tell her she
does.
Felipe is in his room writing in his
diary. He says it’s been so many years waiting for her. He never thought he
would feel this way. She’s so pretty. Things would be so different if she
weren’t his sister. He shouldn't allow these feelings to fester in him.
Alejandro is shown playing a horn and thinking about when he saw Ramona. At the
Indian village the Manuela asks her mother if she can tell what Alejandro is
thinking. She’s looking into a bowl filled with water and some rocks. She says
she sees him thinking of an Indian girl from around there. The next day there’s
a mass in honor of Alonso Moreno. Ramona tries to take her mother’s hand but
she recoils. The priest said he was a good father, husband, peacemaker and
soldier. Dona Ramona thinks back to her husband’s sick bed. He says she knew
she never really loved him. She loved the Irishman, but even so she was a loyal
companion and Christian. Above all a good mother for his son. She asks for
forgiveness. She wanted to love him, to be the best wife. He appreciates that
she never abandoned him. Alejandro goes to the stable and tells Eugenio he’s
not going with Felipe and Ramona on their ride. Ramona says goodbye to the
nuns. They were like family to her. They gave her love and happiness. The
sister says she was meant for something bigger. Dona Ramona gives them
something for the mother superior. The nuns said Ramona made herself be loved
right from the beginning and they are going to miss her. Back at Jack Greens
office the guy who was caught at the Moren’s ranch returns. He tells Jack that
the Moreno’s ranch is very well guarded. They have about 100 men. Ramona and
Felipe go riding. She says that which you learn well is never forgotten. It’s
like yesterday that she rode last. Too bad Alexander couldn’t be with them. She
remembers him and his penetrating stare. She says it’s too bad he’s an Indian
and Felipe asks her not to be like mother. She doesn’t mean to say it that way.
She says maybe it would be best for him to marry and fill the house with
grandchildren for mother. He says there’s no one around, unless he marries
Margarita. They both laugh at their mother’s reaction to that. Ramona asks
about some old friends of the family, Ana Lupe Coronado and Fernando, but he
says he hasn’t seen them in years. There aren’t many women around, but now
there’s Ramona. Analupe’s father comes home and tells her that the name of the
town has changed to Spurtown. The American’s killed the sheriff and put one of
their own in. They want to take over everything. His son comes in. He says he
heard Ramona is back and she’s prettier than ever. Her mother was the prettiest
woman in all of California and the richest too. The father says he would like
to see her again but it’s just too far. He tells his son in private that it
might be necessary for them to leave Spurtown. Dona Ramona is looking for
Felipe. She’s annoyed that he went riding with Ramona when he should have been
supervising the Indians at work. Ramona wants to play hide and seek. Felipe
thinks she wont’ remember the area but she points out major landmarks. Dona
Ramona is at her desk and finds Felipe’s diary. Marta comes in with tea but she
tells her to close the door and not disturb her. Once she’s gone she opens it
and reads how Felipe feels about Ramona!! Ramona meets Alejandro. He senses
she’s approaching even though his back is to her. She says they waited for him
to go riding. He says it wouldn’t be seemly because he came there to work.
People would look at it poorly. Ramona says not if she asked him to. He says
Indians are not treated like people. She remembers him as a child when they

any messups on names... I'm still trying to figure out the gringos, and the
hacienda servants. And my knowledge of el español is hit and miss, so if I
misunderstood anything, feel free to add corrections-additions. Recap: Doña
Ramona (DR) is reading Felipe's(F) diary entry about his changing and confusing
feelings for Ramona (R). Ramona y Alejandro are talking about the way he can
tell when someone is approaching or nearby. He tells her someone else is
coming... she can't see or hear anyone and thinks he's teasing. She asks why he
didn't go riding with her and Felipe. A. says that other people wouldn't approve of her
friendship with a "redskin". Ramona frowns but then tells him she was
remembering him last night... the way they played together when they were kids.
Padre Salvatierra walks up, and rather accusingly asks what she is doing alone
with A. (he makes a point of A.'s shirtlessness). Felipe rides up and jokes
that he and Ramona are playing hide-and-seek the way they did when they were
little. Padre S. says she shouldn't be alone, and A. says he told her that too,
and he rides off, offended. Padre S. says perhaps he was unfair. F. tells
Ramona to go back to the house w/the padre. In la cocina, Margarita (?) and el
Norteño are talking... he wants to see her, but doesn´t want to tell her dad.
He doesn´t want any "compromisos". She is a little offended, and her
mom walks in and rebukes her for neglecting her duties. DR is still reading
Felipe´s diary. She utters what we all know as the fateful telenovela phrase...
"No Puede Ser". Padre S. wants to talk to Ramona. He tells her that
she should be careful of being around Indians... uses the (old and ridiculous)
analogy about each bird keeping to its own kind... she is mexicana and should
stay with her own people. Ramona says... but before God, we are all equal. Are
you saying that nature tells us to see things differently than the Lord does?
he has no answer. Felipe and Alejandro talk about their friendship and F.
convinces him they should be friends regardless of what people say.
En el pueblo, an old black man is trying
to sell a snakebite remedy. Prescott (the eyepatch guy) hits him, says we don't
want you around here, and says he will see about the snake bite, and takes the
snake the old man has, apparently meaning to let it bite him. Green and an old
man (Nepo?) are talking... he wants to know how many people are on the ranch...
does the old lady have another son? el viejo says she has a daughter, and Green
says women don't count, how many men are there and what kind of weapons do they
have. DR gets on Felipe's case, says Ramona is "spoiling" him. Then
separately she goes to Ramona, and says she is not to distract her brother.
Ramona sits down alone and says... this is worse than the convent, I can't even
see my brother... "No Puede Ser!" Felipe is talking to Juan about the
shearing, etc. F. locks the drawer (too late, buddy!). The Indian
shepherds/shearers are sitting around their fires, and someone is playing the
violin. We see Ramona walk slowly around the corner of the house, as if drawn
by the music. Alejandro gets up from beside his father, and walks towards her
slowly... their eyes meet... Felipe is standing outside Ramona's door
knocking... no answer, so he too follows the music. Ramona turns away from
Alejandro, and walks back towards the house, into Felipe's arms. They embrace,
and he tenderly kisses her forehead. (In all this time, no one has said a
word.) A's dad tells him he saw how A was looking at Ramona, and those are not
the eyes with which one should watch the señorita... he ought not to think of
Ramona, they are of different races... DR and the older lady, Juan's wife, are
talking... DR says Angus's ghost has returned with Ramona. The servant says
it's because she loves him, and that sometimes one loves those that have died
even more, but it's best to leave them in peace. DR says people thing she is
strong, but inside she trembles like the flame of one of her candles. Felipe
comes upon the Padre praying in the chapel and asks if he can confess...
"It's Ramona.. I don't love her as one loves a sister. I've always loved
her but never this way... she's so beautiful. The padre tells him he has a pure
heart... it's just that he hasn't been around many young women, and the
presence of Ramona, his sister, has reminded him that he doesn't have a woman
in his life. The padre advises that he look for a wife. In a room I don't
recognize, Ramona corners Felipe..."you're rejecting me...it's almost like
you're hiding from me" he claims he has been too busy, because of the shearing
and his ranch duties. She wants to go riding, because she's been shut up in the
house too long. He doesn't want to at first... they discuss the fiesta that DR
is planning to celebrate Ramona's return. She finally manages to sweet-talk him
into taking her riding anyway. (Good acting on Strickler's part... Felipe's
emotions were glass-clear). DR and the padre talk about her real reason for la
fiesta... a girl for Felipe.
Green and some other guys are talking in
el pueblo... they want someone called Douglas, apparently a lawyer or sbth, to
help them turn la gente del pueblo against los mexicanos. In the countryside,
the old black man and an indian are talking (the snake wasn't actually
poisinous, luckily for him) and they discuss how the whites don't see them as
people. Ramona and Felipe are riding. (I could swear that the horse she is
riding is too brown-colored to be the mare F. chose for her, but maybe it was
just the light.) They get off and walk. She says her mom doesn't want her
there, and she hugs Felipe, asking him not to abandon her again. "You're the best brother in
the world!" El pueblo: Green wants to get cattle into the country, and the
heck with the law. He wants to get sheep raisers out of his way. La Cocina: Delgadina and Margarita
come into the kitchen and says they saw DR sitting under the old tree near the
house. Delgadina asks if someone really is buried there. Her mom reproves Marg.
for telling stories, and reassures the little girl. Outside, beneath the tree,
DR wonders if she should tell Ramona "the truth". There is a
flashback to her past, baby Felipe sitting on the bed (dressed in a bonnet and one of those
dreadful white ruffly baby outfits they used to put both boy and girl babies
in.) and her packing her clothes. She explains to la criada that though her
husband is a good man, Angus is her true love, and she will take Felipe with
her. The criada says don't go, you know he's a heavy drinker now.. and more
than that, he lives with a Yaqui woman. DR comes back to the present... "We
live together now... with you, beneath this tree here on my
hacienda". Back to Felipe and
Ramona riding... he tells her it's too dangerous to cross the river there, and
of course she has to try to prove that she can do it... but once she is out
into the current, the horse spooks and Ramona falls off. She is caught by the
current and pulled towards the rocks. Felipe is trying to get off his horse and
run towards her, but Alejandro, riding on the other side of the stream, has
seen everything, and dives into the water after her. With some difficulty, he
carries her to shore... they look deep into eachothers eyes, and he hands her
into Felipe's arms. Alejandro says something (I couldn't understand his words
because of the sound of the stream) and turns away. Felipe closes his eyes and embraces
Ramona tightly. Nothing new in the promos.

law and makes plans to go to Sacramento. He gets his mother to agree to put El

papers and finds a grave, leaves the bones there and later asks Marta whose
they are. She refuses to say and tells him not to mention the matter to his
mother. Billy talks again with Ana Lupe in town and gets her to agree to their
becoming friends. On the way to the ranch, Alejandro and Ramona are found by

should be buried, find they are gone but also discover the bones. Alejandro
tells her that Matea thinks she may be the daughter of Tewa and Angus.

mother. Ramona confronts her
mother and finally learns the truth, promising to keep it a secret. Angus
helped her mother after a fall from a horse. They fell in love. Then she heard
he had been killed by an American regiment, married. When he returned, she

he was living with Tewa. Since then she has hated Indians.
