Caray, Caray!

Jocelyn confronts Gabriel and Luisito interrupts. Jos gives him a look that is less than maternal. She reminds everyone that Luisito terrible accident is all his dad’s fault…and no one else’s. L looks perplexed, Gabe just seems vexed. Gabe suggests that Jos gets some professional help.

Leo is sitting in the dark on the sofa, pining after Mari.

Out in the courtyard, Rogelio & Diana are frolicking & happy. Pedro looks on miserably.

Dolores is considering Tiberio & Karen.

Regina & Demian are discussing Demian’s intentions re: his renewed interest with JC.

Mari tells Candelaria she’s not sure she can deal with the current situation. She suggests leaving.

Leo’s shares with his taxi driving friend that he pines for Mari. Wahh…

Dolores shows up (without her habit) at Gabe’s house…surprised that he looks identical to Demian. They are chatting on the sofa, when Dolores hears Miriam’s voice. All the ladies get their hackles up. The family tree is briefly discussed and as Gabe leaves for work, Jos tries to mark her territory.

Karen (wearing a really ugly outfit) visits JC at his office. JC is pretty frank that he’s not interested in her…despite her very attractive habit of hair-twirling. She could care less and leans in for a well-timed kiss—just as Paulina walks in (and then walks right back out). Karen sees Paulina crying outside and heads over to ‘comfort’ her as only she can. Paulina tells her, halfheartedly, that JC is free so, like, whatever. When she heads back up to the office, she cattily lets JC know that she saw his little ‘buenos dias’ with Karen.

Rogelio is getting ready for work and is back to his old self. Diana is telling him how great it was to spend time with him and he brushes her off like some old dandruff.

Dolores, Miriam & Jos have a little chat about Dolores getting to know Karen a little better. On a side note…apparently Karen’s hair-twirling is so contagious that just talking about her makes Jocelyn take up the habit as well. It goes about as well as a Middle East peace conference and just as Dolores is getting thrown out, Karen shows up. Dolores spills the beans, telling her that they were talking about her father…that she had always felt for him as if they were siblings. Jos tries to maintain that he died in an accident…Miriam chimes in that we should just let the dead rest…in the family crypt. Dolores learning where that resting place is, does not seem too happy about it but wants to go visit, with Karen.

Regina goes to church and tells the priest that her problems with her husband are continuing. She also indicates she has a secret to tell…but first we have to hear about how much she was willing to suffer for her son.

At the office, Paulina continues the cold shoulder with JC. She puts her foot down and lets him know that they’re not

Ugh…Mari & Luisito are having their lesson and Mari promises that she’ll never leave him. Luisito doles out some dating advice….go for Leo.

Meanwhile Leo is washing his taxi and all the other drivers are standing around thinking of ways to cheer him up…despite his best efforts to be gloomy, he quickly cheers up.

Tiberio is flashing back again to schoolgirls in uniform. JC shows up looking for Demian.

Jos & Miriam are complaining about Dolores. Then Jos has a breakdown, saying she doesn’t want to go to jail. Then you better shut up, Miriam tells her. Jos says ‘This is all your fault, I didn’t do anything.”

Regina shows up at the architect office and tells Paulina that JC loves her with all his heart.

Tiberio tells JC that Rogelio is Gabe’s eldest son…and that Demian is fighting to the death with Gabriel & his family.

Gabe & Rogelio discuss JC, with Gabe saying he’s a good guy, despite his father. Rogelio gives a little pursed lip petulant pout.

Miriam & Demian are discussing Dolores’ visit and the possibilities of her becoming suspicious…even of Demian. Demian says he’ll be fine since he has such a way with the ladies. Ick.

Rogelio is on the phone with what must be his mistress, since he’s talking to her with such endearments and niceness, it certainly can’t be his wife, Diana. His gambling buddies surround him and demand payment. He says he’ll pay double, mustache-man gives him until tomorrow and then his henchman socks him in the stomach.

Back to Luisito & Mari…they are reviewing Mari’s earlier promise not to leave. Jos sneaks in and lets the bomb drop…Luisito gets a big surprise---a little brother or sister.

JC & Paulina are remembering their time together.
In an effort to get some fast cash…Rogelio has gone to the local ATM machine…Miriam’s safe…and has set up a camera aimed to record the combination. After Miriam leaves, he opens the safe and gets some jewelry to pay off his debts.

It’s time for the big family dinner. Luisito breathily asks if Mari is going to eat with them again. Jos freaks out when she finds out that she’s eaten there before and sat in her place. Jos demands that she get kicked out. Gabe counters that the only people who are leaving are he and Luisito. Mari shows up in the background and says she’ll leave, she doesn’t want to cause problems….Jos goes apesh!t and Clemente has to restrain her from attacking Mari. Luisito whines that she can’t go because she promised him. This sets Jos off again and now Clemente’s had enough…he’s going with them. Paulina walks in and asks what’s going on here…Gabe explains…she’s going with them. Now Miriam walks in, gets the update and Jos gets riled up again. Miriam prevents Clemente from telling everyone the truth about Mariangela.

JC is ironing out the details about working with Demian. Tiberio invites him to share his office, but looks hurt at the prospect of being a ‘third wheel’.

Jos is still complaining (this time just to Miriam) about Mari having sat in her place at the dining room table. Miriam tells her she’s an idiot because with her crazy behavior, she’s thrown Mari and Gabe together.

Mari’s whining to Candelaria about the mess she’s made.

Dolores & Karen visits Edgar’s grave. She is having a big old thought bubble ‘talking’ to Edgar. Karen is watching curiously. Finally she realizes that Dolores is the nun and asks why she tried to trick her.

In the kitchen, Jos is trying to intimidate Mari, letting her know that she’s not going to allow Mari’s presence to change anything about her family. Mari (props to her!) says, bring it on, bring it all on.
