Caray, Caray!

Regina gets a phone call from prison threatening JC. Demian sees her worrying over JC’s photo and asks what’s wrong and if she recognized the voice. He comforts her.

Miriam, on a charitable visit to Federico in prison, is asking why he told Gabe that he’s Jocelyn’s father. Ummm…because it’s the truth, he answers. She blames him for causing problems and he basically tells her to stuff it and that he’s going to tell the whole truth.

Mari and Gabe are having a romantic chat in an abandoned restaurant. She’s scared and he says, but we’re free. Gabe’s a good actor because he even has that special-in-love-glow when he’s with Mari. She keeps whining that she’s scared it might just be a dream. He says keep on dreaming and then tells he loves her and that only by her side will he be happy. Awwww….they kiss and then Mari runs away.

Jocelyn and Tiberio are commiserating in a crowded bar that looks like it would be called “El Grotto”. They both look creepily at each other.

Candi tells Leo that Mari told her that Jocelyn isn’t really her sister. He is naively shocked that anyone could do that. He tells her that he was talking to Miriam and it was weird because she called him son. She’s pissed but tries to cover it up.

D confronts Miriam, telling her that everything is her fault.

JC is working and Karen comes slinking in offering help. He asks her why she’s so superficial. Karen starts her “poor little rich girl”monologue…and ends it by saying that she hurts inside…wah. Mayeya is eavesdropping in the hallway and later tells Paulina that JC & Karen are talking together.

D confronts the guy in jail about calling Regina and ends up hiring him to take care of Federico. Nothing like killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.

Paulina acts all pouty with JC when he comes to bed. He thinks to himself, he doesn’t know what’s wrong, but he’s going to be very patient with her in her delicate state.

Mari is whining about how scared she is about being in love with Gabe when Leo stops by with some suspicious news about the day her mom died. He tells her that someone had gone in to her room, but no one knows who it is. He also tells her that he hopes she’s happy with Gabe because all he wants is her happiness. Ugh. Sometimes there is such a thing as too nice.

Jocelyn is tucking in Luisito and causing some more long-reaching psychological damage. You’d think that living with a crazy mom his whole life he’d figure out what buttons NOT to push. He mentions Mariangela and she goes ape-shit with his crutch, breaking stuff around the room.

It’s day of the dead, and all of the apartment dwellers are gathered around the ofrenda, complete with pictures of Clemente & Aurora.

Back at the prison, Federico gets taken care of.

Gabe is going home and thinking that perhaps he and Mari are condemned to be apart but then…running up to the door is Mariangela! Apparently remembering her dead parents made her ready for love and they head up to Gabe’s place for a little lovin’.

Back at the Casa Loca, Miriam & Jos are discussing Gabe & Mari’s reaction to finding out that she’s not really Clemente’s kid. Miriam tells her she’s going to get her back in line, whether she likes it or not. They decide that Jos is going to move from just pretending to be normal, and actually take some steps to be normal.

Mari & Gabe are snuggling and discussing their happy future together. Since this is novela-land, we know that none of these happy little dreams of living together with Luisito and the rest of his kids is going to go quite as smoothly as planned. He’s convinced that their love is strong enough to carry them through any obstacle in their way and all they need to do is trust each other.

Otilia’s business and web-site is going gang-busters when she gets the phone call that Federico is dead. Talking about it with Dolores, she says she thinks that Jos & Miriam had something to do with his death. She then says that something weird is going on…and that they are together in their suffering and should work together to figure it out.

Demian tells Regina that he investigated the call and discovered it was from the jail. He tells her not to worry, he took care of it. She’s eternally grateful and even more in love with D.

After her booty-call (well more of a booty-visit), Mari returns home and remembers various happy scenes with Gabe. Gabe returns to his groovy bachelor pad and does the same.

Gabe goes to visit Luisito and Miriam ambushes him so that they can talk about Jos and Federico. Miriam takes one for the team and tries to get Gabe to believe that this whole paternity mix-up is all her fault (well, yeah). Miriam gets a phone call and shares the news with Gabe, Federico is dead.

JC tries to convince Paulina that Karen is troubled and didn’t have any bad intentions during yesterday’s little chat. Meanwhile, Karen is applying lip gloss and thinking aobut how much she digs JC.

Leo promises Mari that he’ll try to figure out what happened with her mom, and that she shouldn’t worry about it. Mari breaks the news that she and Gabe are going to get married. Poor Leo.

Miriam & Jos are discussing Federico’s death with Demian. He says that since it benefited them so much, they owe him a favor. Miriam says okay, let me know what you want. He wants Jos to sell him all her shares of the company.

**Many thanks to Jardiniera for covering for me….We were without electricity for almost a week. Ugh. Thanks!**
