Caray, Caray!

Miranda is sitting on the floor working on her laptop and Fernanda comes in, Miranda says she couldn’t keep up her happy face any longer at the party. Renata runs in complaining that Gabino brought old clothes from the hacienda, the others tell her they aren’t even a year old! This is to show how shallow Renata is I think. Miranda says she’s putting a plan together for the chocolate at the hacienda. She wants Renata’s help to put together some outfits for her from some fabric in storage. Renata is appalled at the suggestion but Miranda insists.

Al and Vicente are eating, well Vicente is, Al doesn’t have any appetite after selling his house. Al tells Vicente that he wants to make a horse race against a former rival of his father’s, if Al wins he wants this guy to put some money into SLI. This scheme is straight from Laverne & Shirley or something.

Nuria, LA, and Roman say how sad it is that Flor died, poor hijo, etc. They move on to talk about how they can lay a trap for Cesar by calling and pretending to know all the details about how he killed Lasagna and disposed of the body.

Cesar chats with his mother and Julio. His parents, actually. He mentions that Daniel and Angel are out looking for clients, that solves the big ‘where are those two losers’ mystery. Cesar is trying to get Julio and his mother to get out of town on a trip or something. Julio says no, that’s final. Cesar’s phone rings, it’s Roman telling him in a disguised voice that he knows that Lasagna died in his apartment. Cesar is impactado, he starts clenching his jaw and all that other stuff he does.

Fern leaves to go see the baby. Renata is trying to figure out what kind of designs to make. Charo and Santiago enter, Charo is crying. Babe Lawyer’s evil friend was trying to pump her for info on the San Llorentes, when she wouldn’t say anything, the evil one yelled at her and insulted her. Renata takes her to kitchen for a cafecito. Santiago asks Miranda how she is doing in order to be able to give her his patented “keep your chin up” speech. Miranda is scared to open the letter from Florencia because she thinks Flor might be asking her to get back with Fabricio. Santiago manages to slip in “time will take care of it” in his response, which is part two of the “keep your chin up” speech. Miranda says she feels alone, Santiago finishes his patented trilogy with “you have strength inside you.”

Babe Lawyer, evil friend, and daughter are having dinner and they call Charo, then discover she is gone. Babe Lawyer is made at her friend for asking her so many questions and scaring her off. Evil one says for sure Charo ran back to Miranda, call her and ask her! Babe Lawyer does. When Miranda answers and discovers it’s B.L., she goes off on her. REALLY off on her. B.L. can barely get a word in edgewise before Miranda yells some more and hangs up. B. L. is really mad now at Evil one. Then her daughter asks her, “Mom is it true that you are going to make life miserable for Alejandro’s wife?” Evil one takes a drink and tries to act innocent. This lady is trouble. B.L. sends daughter off to bed, then yells at her friend “we’ll talk as soon as she’s in bed.”

Al and Vicente try to figure out how Lasagna’s necklace ended up with Flor’s baby.

B.L. gives a lecture to Evil one that is hypocritical. Babe Lawyer pretends to not have any interest in causing Al’s marriage any trouble. Yeah right. Evil one tries to talk her into being a troublemaker anyway, “think of you daughter.” Have you seen this house Babe Lawyer lives in? I think she’s doing ok. Really.

Charo leave Renata alone in the kitchen since she’s tired. Renata has daydreams about being in bed with Juan. We see how hairy Juan’s arms and legs are, so he is definitely a chest waxer. Big time. This guy is a gorilla and tries to pull off the hairless chest. Back in real time Juan himself finds Renata in the kitchen. He asks how she feels and gets a long whiny speech in return. This is the same conversation they’ve had before, really nothing new to add. Memories of doing the dirty deed float around both of them, then in the kitchen right now they start making out. So next I expect sex, then her driving away crying.

Al tells Miranda he’ll change lawyers, he doesn’t care, whatever he has to do. Fab runs in and says that he was talking to the baby about Flor and the baby smiled. He pulls the family portrait pose with Miranda again and Al feels sorry for himself, thinking “this is what she wants, but I don’t want any kids!” For some reason then he starts flicking the light on and off. I have no idea what that is about. While the others continue to coo over the baby, he leaves unnoticed. Fab says “Al come see” but he’s gone. Miranda goes to find him, then tells Fab that “he doesn’t want to see the baby.” Fab realizes that Miranda loves Al, he wants to go get Al and bring him back so they can work it out. Miranda says no. Outside, Al has a flashback to when Fab said he would get Miranda back when Flor dies, then storms off. Fab tells Miranda to not be stupid, go find Al. Fern returns for the baby. Miranda leaves and Fab explains to Fern what they were talking about. Fab convinces her to leave Miranda alone for now.

Juan and Renata are still making out in the kitchen. Miranda walks in on them, in the middle of her contractually obligated crying. Renata asks what’s wrong, Miranda says she wants to run to Al and tell him that she loves him but can’t get the picture of him kissing Babe Lawyer out of her head. Renata tries to convince her that she isn’t alone, they are all together. Juan and Renata give kissy eyes at each other. Whatever. These two are wearing me out.

Babe Lawyer tells the Evil one that she thought Evil one was a friend, but she obviously isn’t. Evil one tries to convince her that she is right, B.L. should steal Al. B.L. says she wants Al, but not like that. Evil one uses B.L.’s phone to call Al, she tells him that daughter is upset and calling for Al, Al says he’ll be right there. B.L. tries to take the high road and says she won’t participate in lies and tells Evil one to leave.

El Guapo has a drink and a smoke after raping Bertha. She calls him a brute and asks how he could do that. This from the most evil woman in Mexico. He says “remember how you hurt my hand?” He starts in like he’s going to rape her again, she tells him to leave, she could kill him right now! Yeah right. She actually looks like she’s enjoying it a bit. He goes on about how she smells. He has a real smell thing. Then he leaves and Bertha whimpers and cries.

Amparito and Francisco arrive with food for Fern. Fern is crying, so they all hug and cry. Fern feels like she could have done something more to save Flor, the others say of course not, it’s nobody’s fault. Fern says she knows that Bertha is responsible for Flor’s death. They force Fern to eat something.

Cesar returns home to find Bertha on the couch under a blanket. She asks Cesar what happened? He says you know, Nuria disappeared. She says she didn’t know. Cesar says for sure she’s with Luis Alberto. He tells of the phone call about Lasagna and the only people who know about that are Cesar, Bertha, and LA. So he has to be involved. Bertha says those two are a time bomb, they know too much. She rubs her forehead, gets up, and limps towards to back. Cesar says what happened? Bertha says nothing important to you. She doesn’t want to talk about this stupid stuff. Cesar says who was here and she answers that it was El Guapo. Cesar says what a Quasimodo he is, if you were with him I’ll never touch you again. Bertha says she didn’t want to, he raped her, and he will pay dearly! Cesar sits down on the couch and appears to sniff the air over the sofa where the deed happened. He takes a sip of his drink but it all appears to have grossed him out so much he throws up right there on the floor.

Fern, Amparito, and Francisco have pulled up some folding chairs, it looks like an AA meeting. Julio arrives and pulls up a chair. He offers his condolences. He wants to see Fabricio and leaves the room. The others continue to talk about, well, nothing really. Then Francisco tells Fern that Sanson has returned, he should warn Al.

Al arrives and is greeted by the Evil one. Evil one is pretty hot too I have to mention. Babe Lawyer plays innocent and basically throws Evil one under the bus. Al tells Evil one to not ever call him like that again, it is basically like crying wolf. Evil one has the nerve to be offended by Al. B.L. says whatever, get the hell out of my house.

Juan tells Miranda that Al loves her more than anything. He says he’s seen Al cry over her. Juan’s phone rings and he gets some news, he’ll be there right away. The results are in on the blood tests for the blood at the hacienda (when Miranda shot Cesar) and the blood on the handkerchief that Charo had from Gonzalo’s murder. Miranda says “they are the same type right?” Juan says no. Needless to say, Miranda is impactada.
