Caray, Caray!

Chacal gets on his motorcycle and we see Demian lurking in the background. He is holding a bomb trigger device that looks like he took it from Wile E Coyote’s props department. He flips the switch and Chacal goes kaboom just as Elsa comes running down the street and sees. Neighbors rush around to see. In the distance a little crazy motorcycle guy lights a candle.

Jocelyn continues her attempted seduction of Gabriel. He stumbles out and then she starts caressing the table and thinks to herself there must be another woman.

JC is with Karen at the hospital. She starts needling him about Paulina. She ‘apologizes’ for her behavior in Barcelona.

Leo and Mari are giggling (well Leo is—Mari just looks like she’s trying to be polite). In the background we see Elsa sneaking back to the house.

Paulina is crying on her bed, telling herself that she can’t imagine seeing JC with another woman.

Simultaneously, JC is thinking that he’s can’t and, moreover, doesn’t want to give Paulina up. He runs his hands through his hair.

Demian visits with the motorcycle guy, Coyote, we saw earlier and lets him know he gets one chance to get jobs done right and the consequences are pretty serious. (Okay this is funny, because this guy’s name really is Coyote---I didn’t know that when I made the Wile E Coyote comment).

Jocelyn & Miriam are having breakfast. Miriam is criticizing Jocelyn. Jocelyn returns the favor, telling her she’s a wonderful professional, but a terrible mother who never showed any affection (I thought this was what therapy was for). Miriam falls back to the usual line…but I did it all for you and to give you a great life, besides who are you to talk…you’re so obsessed with Gabe you don’t give your kids any attention either. Oh, Jocelyn adds, that--that’s your fault too. Well, Miriam’s had just about enough and tells her that she has no idea what she (Miriam) has done in her life to get to where she is now. Miriam continues, She has one life and she’s not going to miss out on anything, nor does she have any regrets. Her final motherly advice is: If you are intelligent, you would do the same. She stomps off.

Candelaria and Mari are doing laundry with a bunch of other ladies, we hear mariachis and everyone else is calling out funny comments…just your typical day of laundry. Leo comes up and gives her some flowers (he has the goofiest look on his face, so you know he’s going to get his little heart broken). They receive news about the big explosion that killed Chacal.

Miriam has stormed back to her room. Muttering to herself about taking care of the situation right now, she gets something out of the safe.

Karen is turning her claws to Paulina. She tells her about seeing JC and that she really likes him (ugh) and she knows Paulina will understand. As a “peace offering” she invites Paulina out so they can become better friends.

Jocelyn has returned to her room and is thinking about her mom’s advice. Miriam has come in to “make peace”. She gives Jocelyn a diamond necklace and reminds her that aside from being mother and daughter they are also friends and share a lot of secrets. Jocelyn leaves the box open on the dresser and Karen spies it and tries it on.

Gabriel and Demian discuss JC & Paulina. Demian will never allow this relationship, but since Gabe knows the truth about Paulina, it doesn’t bother him quite as much. Demian shares his suspicions about Gabe being JC’s dad and Gabe can’t believe that D would talk about Regina like that since she’s such a great woman. Demian ends the conversation saying he doesn’t want Paulina anywhere near JC.

Karen’s plans come to fruition. She is with JC at a restaurant and in walks Paulina, not know that JC is going to be there. They are sitting uncomfortably and JC decides to leave…he hadn’t know that Paulina was coming. Karen pretends she doesn’t know what’s wrong…they are cousins, after all, and should become friends. JC leaves, telling Paulina that he loves her. Karen tells Paulina that she had the ‘best intentions.’ The waiter delivers a note and rose from JC. JC & Paulina kiss, Karen stomps off. JC suggests that they run away, Paulina’s not so sure. Things are looking happy, JC goes to visit his mom.

Miriam is at work and has now hired Giorgio to be both a model and her personal assistant. She promises him a great future. Elsewhere, Soraya sees the TV interview and realizes that that’s her son…Jorge.

Jocelyn finally finishes her preparations, goes to put on her diamond necklace and notices that it has gone missing. Uh oh. She accuses Mari and tells her to leave the house. Luisito starts up with his whining. Gabriel walks in and dismisses the accusation against Mari. Luisito looks at him with adoration. Gabriel suspects that Jocelyn set this “theft” up to try and get rid of Mari.

At the Alzheimer’s home, Clemente & Aurora are chatting outside. Clemente is telling her their story. We see flashbacks of them young and in love. Aurora is happy.

We see Karen stewing in her car, promising to separate JC & Paulina. She goes to visit Regina and meets up with Sr. Dolores who realizes who she is. Karen, of course, is clueless and still twirling her hair. Rogelio shows up and also asks to Regina. It’s not possible for either one to see her so they start chatting and go to have some coffee. Dolores is happy-her son and her niece—cousins (that’s a nice symmetry).

Jorge’s mom is telling someone how excited she is to have found him. Miriam is showing Giorgio the ropes at the office.

Back at the Alzheimer’s place, Aurora has fallen asleep and when she wakes up is disoriented. She wants to go to her house and heads for the wall. We see her wandering around. The hospital staff has noticed she is missing….the doctor is chastising everyone.

The maids are tearing the house apart in search of the necklace. Jocelyn tells Gabriel that she called the police. Karen calls and tells them she has the necklace. Gabe doesn’t even have to say I told you so. He makes Jocelyn tell the police that the necklace was found and wants her to apologize to Mari. Like a five-year old child, Gabe leads her to Mari and says…we are waiting…she apologizes. Mari receives the phone call about her mother’s disappearance.

In the hospital cafeteria, Rogelio & Karen are having their coffee. Rogelio is leering and Karen is twirling. They plan to tell Demian everything about JC.

Leo is telling JC that Regina is better and just needs to stay calm. JC says that’s unlikely in his house with Demian. For some weird reason, Leo tells the story of being abandoned at birth…

Jocelyn goes to Miriam’s office to update her on Jocelyn’s really bad day. Jocelyn is excited that Mari is suffering because of her missing mother. Miriam invites her to work with her but Jos isn’t sure, since that would leave Mari ‘in charge’ at home.

In assorted ‘set-ups’ for tomorrow: Gabe, Mari & the assistant look for Aurora. Demian & Karen meet. Paulina prays. Dolores shows up at Miriam’s office. Demian tells JC that he and Paulina aren’t cousins, they’re siblings.
