Caray, Caray!

After Fabricio stomps away from the pool, Squeaky gets on Florencia’s case a little bit for being such a whiny bitch. Pot, meet kettle.

In the prison visiting room, Miranda tentatively approaches Gonzalo, who is sitting with his back to her. She says “Papa?” and he gets up and emotionally hugs her. Remember they haven’t seen each other in a long time, since Gonz was arrested. Gonz tells her “I didn’t want you to see me here, this way, that’s why I asked Alejandro to….” He stops when he sees Cesar walk in behind Miranda, doing his best innocent little kid look. Gonz immediately tries to go after him to wring his neck and wipe that smug bastard look off of his face, but Miranda stops him. She tells Gonz that there isn’t any proof that Cesar was behind everything, that he has been a big help to her during this time, etc. Gonz doesn’t want to hear any of it, he knows better. Cesar whines and blames everything on Julio. Gonz tells him rudely to get out. Now. Miranda asks him to wait outside so she can talk to her father alone. Before leaving, Cesar delivers a disgustingly magnanimous speech about how he’s taking care of everything, he’s keeping the family together and safe, he’s looking out for the company, etc. Gonz restrains himself from killing Cesar on the spot and Cesar leaves. Gonz tells Miranda to stay away from Cesar. Miranda again protests Cesar’s innocence. She’s a real dumbass sometimes, she is supposed to be capable of running the company but she is taken in by the simplest of lies again and again. Gonz tells her to stay away from Cesar anyway – regardless of proof or whatever, just stay away from him! Then he takes a deep breath to change the subject and asks how Florencia is doing. Miranda completely lies and says Flor is fine and happy with Fab. If those two are happy, I don’t want to see a couple that doesn’t get along. Gonz asks Miranda if she still loves Fab – she says she has been with him since they were kids, how can she forget so fast? Though – there is a new special someone in her life. Gonz completely ignores that remark, surprisingly. What dad doesn’t want to know who his daughter is in love with? He says he doesn’t want her to spend time with Fab either, his actions confuse her and give her hope.

Alejandro and are playing golf. To me this guy is bad hair Santiago and I can’t remember his new name, so I’ll use to refer to him. As soon as I can get his new name in my head I’ll use it. They talk business. Alejandro has a legitimately decent golf swing (I’ve spent most of my career in the golf business, so watching people on TV or in movies who pretend they can golf but have horrible technique is grating) but ’s swing is awful. At least his character is supposed to suck at golf. They talk about the reserved shares, more biz stuff that I don’t entirely understand. tells Alejandro that there is still time to call the whole thing off, but Alejandro says Gonzalo needs to pay for what he did. He says in a couple days he’ll make Miranda an offer.

Back in prison – Gonz and Miranda argue about Fab, Miranda says to not worry about it! They argue about Cesar. Again. Miranda says Fernanda is at the Hacienda to help Florencia, Gonzalo snorts and sneers at the mention of her name. In the end he says to her, “just stay close to Alejandro, have confidence in him, no one else.” Miranda promises to get him out of jail soon. How, with magic?

Fabricio is sulking, shirtless, I’m sure you ladies all loved that. He’s no Luis but there is a little beefcake moment for you. Then for me and any guys watching, Veronica (who wears a bikini very nicely) shows up to comfort him and bring him a towel. And doubtlessly to move in on him. Fab whines, Veronica agrees with him of course and touches him and moves closer as much as possible. Basically she is giving him the “you deserve better” deal that the other woman/man always gives. Tomasa and Gabino burst in, causing them to separate. There is an emergency, all the women employees (wives of employees?) are causing a riot and they need Fab to come help. He rushes off. Veronica has a “I’ll see him later” look. She’s not very pretty, but like I said, she wears her bikini well. I think the young female cast members were chosen for their bikini wearing skills, because while they aren’t all pretty, they all look great by the pool.

Cesar is in his office smoking a lot. He rehashes everything with his associate (what’s his name?) They talk business and Cesar tells the guy about his plans to conquer Miranda.

Back on the golf course, ’s phone rings, he tells Alejandro “it’s the guy who is calling about the stock!” (It’s Cesar on the other end) Alejandro tells him to answer and pretend he’s alone. answers and hands the phone to Alejandro, who hears Cesar ask for a meeting. He hands the phone back and says “tell him tomorrow night at the club for dinner.” relays the information and hangs up. Cesar looks smug as usual, thinking he is such a hot shot. Alejandro says that tomorrow night he can finally find out what Cesar wants. Back in his office, Cesar and the other guy plan their attack.

Fab, who got dressed, is trying to calm down all the ladies, who are all dressed indentically. He convinces them to wait until Miranda arrives before they riot. He takes charge with Gabino and Tomasa, arranging security at the hacienda. Then he is on the phone with Miranda, who thanks him for everything and asks him to keep an eye on the girls. Oh he’s keeping an eye on one girl at least. This is the first time Fab has done more than stand there, sulk, or whine.

Charo asks Miranda what is going on, then tells Miranda about what Bertha said before, blaming the lack of raises on Miranda. Miranda yells at her for not telling her before. Poor Charo, she gets fired and yelled at constantly. Miranda calms down and thanks her for the information.

Cesar and the other guy are talking to Julio’s sons. He tells them that they have to go to Gonzalo and say that they believe Gonzalo about Julio being guilty but they have to say that Cesar is the one who convinced them of that. They are conflicted until Cesar finds some way to dangle money in front of them, then they start to come around.

All the girls and friends are at the table when Juan enters looking for Florencia. He is there to take care of her until Fernanda arrives. Squeaky screams that he isn’t a doctor he’s a dirty thief! The hens all start clucking until Flor sends them all away. Last to leave is super slut Veronica, who eyes Juan up and down three times before finally leaving.

Miranda storms into Bertha’s room and starts to try and beat her up. Awesome! But Alejandro shows up and stops it before she can put a fist in her face. A man would have walked in and just started hitting, but Miranda decided to grab her and shake her instead. Give her a bloody nose! Ah well. Miranda tells what happened, Bertha denies everything, sobs and looks pitiful, Alejandro tells Miranda he’s disappointed in her. I know he’s the good guy, but he’s kind of a self-important prick sometimes, like he’s better than everybody else. They all argue some more. Bertha lays the victim act on THICK. She tells Miranda that it’s a good thing the dog didn’t see what happened, he would have torn Miranda apart. She then tells Miranda, how do you know Charo isn’t telling you this to get revenge on me for firing her? Bertha always has an angle. She leaves. Miranda fumes at Alejandro, “Now you defend Bertha. I see it, but I don’t believe it!”

Julio’s sons are still on the fence. Cesar finally gets angry and says “You are either with me completely, or against me completely!”

Florencia tells Juan that she believes him about the alleged thievery and that she’s glad he’s there to help her. She takes his hand to make him feel better, he is upset at being treated so badly by the rich bitches. Fab walks in and sees this and is immediately jealous. He, the two-timer, is jealous. He demands to talk to Flor alone. Fab and Flor stomp off to have yet another fight.

Fernanda is back at the hospital/care center/whatever and is yelling at everyone “how could you let Naty get out!” They make plans to put the place on lockdown and find her.

Tomasa is now talking to Juan. Juan tells her that he will now be in charge of all of Florencia’s medication, diet, everything. Tomasa does her best Adalgisa imitation, wringing her hands, worrying about him stepping on Bertha’s toes. Juan starts asking questions about Renata. Obviously the next subplot will be Juan and Renata, I’m saying it here first.

Fab and Flor fight, Fab stomps out, super slut Veronica swoops after him to move in for the kill.

Fernanda visits Pamela and her mom at the hospital. Mom is babbling on about having spotty memories, etc. Turns out that mom’s condition is from emotional stress and she’ll be ok. Pamela also doesn’t need to worry about some virulent strain of family insanity. But she has to be careful, she could be susceptible to the same emotional problems as her mother.

Lasagna storms into the living room where Alejandro is working on his laptop computer, she starts whining like a 12 year old about how she wants to bring Raul to the hacienda but Mom said no! She’s hot but the whiny little kid stuff certainly takes away from that. Alejandro says fine she can bring him, but she has to be responsible. Whatever that means. Use a condom? Daira asks Alejandro about him and Miranda, he says it’s complicated. No it’s not, they are just crazy. He won’t tell her about his plan with Bertha, he says she should just trust him anyway. Yeah right. If my wife sees me kissing some other woman, she isn’t going to think “hmm he must have a really good reason,” she’s going to pull a Lorena Bobbitt on me.

Miranda prays at the church, the Padre comes in. She asks him a lot of questions about who knows who, who was where, they both have flashbacks about different stories from way back when. It’s all a little confusing.

Amparito is at the table, upset because she has been stood up for her date. Francisco comforts her a little, a complete 180 from his asshole behavior previously. Raul comes in to ask about going away for a few days. Francisco yells at him, saying this isn’t a hotel where you can just come and go as you please. Raul stomps out.

Miranda stomps into Bertha’s room and tells her “You are going to tell me everything that happened with you, my mother, and Alejandro’s parents.” They stare at each other until the credits roll. I still want a fistfight but I don’t think I’m going to get it.
