Caray, Caray!

Jocelyn is giving Clemente a heart attack (or something where you have to grab at your throat) as she tells him that she’s not really his daughter. His eyes get squinty in disbelief and as Jocelyn continues her insults, he weeps and covers his ears. When he hears Federico’s her real dad, he briefly wakes up from zombieland, but then starts simpering to her, telling her that even though they don’t share the same blood, he has always loved her. She cackles and calls him pathetic. He can’t breath but she just tells him to leave the house.

Candelaria & Miriam are discussing Leonardo. Cande says that although Leo is your son and Jos’s brother, he is very different from you two because I raised him right. Cande then opens a can of whupp-ass on Miriam who is left speechless. Cande kicks her out of the house, telling her she is not welcome. Then Cande breaks down…it’s nice to finally see someone have a hard time saying mean (if true) things in this novela.

Clemente is stumbling around, whining in a failed attempt to generate some sympathy for his plight. He decides to confirm the Jocelyn’s paternity by asking Federico.

Mariángela comes in to Cande’s house and sees she’s upset. Cande doesn’t tell her the specific reason she’s upset, just that mothers are always worried for their children (well…some mothers, right Miriam?)

Jocelyn tells an already downtrodden Miriam that she told Clem everything, that she’s not his daughter, and that Federico is her real dad. Miriam makes her weird little ahhsshh sound—which might be translated as what the hell are you thinking?

Clemente grabs Federico by the lapels and shakes him…apparently recovered from his earlier spell…asking him about Jocelyn. Fed tells him he’s a drunk and isn’t worth anything, and then when Clem charges, he throws him down on the floor. Fed continues with the pathetic, ridiculous line of insults and Clem is down grabbing his head.

That taxi driver who has the hots for Elsa (what's his name) comes in to Cande’s house and asks for a little loan since blah blah blah. Then he asks what’s wrong. She doesn’t tell him either.

Nicolás comes to give Jos the videos so that Gabe can see Luisito. Jos says he can visit Luisito one time. Gabe’s psyched.

Paulina, still in a snit over the text message, comes in, grabs something and acts pissy with JC…who looks a little underdressed for his new job. JC asks Tiberio for the information, but it is impossible to find. Pau stomps off.

Karen is sharing her triumph with Jocelyn. She says she’s not going to stop making these little scandals until they break up. Jos couldn’t be more proud. Jos tells Karen that Mari is Clem’s daughter. Karen’s little eyebrows knit up.

Taxi dude tells Elsa that her mom is very upset because of her and that she should go visit. She refuses. He offers to pay her (with Cande’s money) to go see Cande. She accepts.

Gabe is visiting with Luisito who is concerned that his dad is all alone in the apartment. Luisito tells him he doesn’t want to be there, that his mom doesn’t allow him to leave the room and that no one comes to see him. Gabe promises him he’ll try to fix this problem. Luisito begs him to fix it so that Gabe can visit him everyday.

Pau tells Mari about her problem with JC. Mari tells her that she trusts JC, and that maybe someone is doing something to hurt them…but who?” Then she tells her, he loves and adores you, just trust him already. Mari says she really wants to speak with Luisito…Pau calls the house and they speak with Mayeya. Now Cortito is sent to sneak through the house to get him on the phone…Luisito & Mari gush at each other on the phone and Gabe tears up just thinking how wonderful Mari is, and what a horrible hell it is for Luisito to stay in that house.

JC is telling Demián about his text message problems. D tells him to convince her to trust him right away. He says there’s nothing worse than jealousy to kill love. Awwww….

Clem confronts Miriam. She tells him to get out of the house and not to come back. She says he doesn’t have the house, or even one single cent. He grabs her arm, she bitch slaps him (this guy needs a self-defense class). Talking to himself, he says he’s going to protect Mari, his only daughter. He writes a new will that leaves everything to Mari.

Nicolás, who has opened a private investigator agency on the side, is discussing with Dolores about ascertaining the truth about Edgar.

There is a tearful goodbye between Gabe & Luisito. Jocelyn reiterates her demand to Gabe that if he wants to see Luisito, he’ll have to drop the divorce. He says okay, but the only reason I will be coming here everyday is to see Luisito, not you. Ay, my nerves, she cries. Gabe rolls his eyes and says you’ve been bitching about your suffering and nerves every since the accident and it’s all been lies. She says nuh-uh…it’s all your fault my nerves are on edge. Gabe says that’s enough of your hysteria….I’ve had to deal with your tricks for a long time, in your effort to control and dominate everything but it’s over! Your heart is nothing but evil and you are bad and perverse. She tells him those are all lies, I’m sick. Gabe then reveals that he doesn’t know why, but he suspects her of being responsible for Luisito’s accident….Jos says how can you accuse me? I’m his mom. Yeah yeah, Gabe says, you’re his mom, but you’ve never loved him. You’ve only used Luisito to manipulate our marriage and I’m not going to let you do it anymore. Okay, I won’t divorce you right now, but I won’t let you take advantage of me ever again either. And then he stomps off. But wait…there’s more. She follows him and says, it doesn’t matter what you say or what you think, what’s important is the boy is with me. I beat you! Then he says, despite her protests, that he is the real victim. She made his life a living hell, and now she’s doing the same thing with Luisito. Gabe says, Listen up, Jocelyn, if you do anything to Luisito while he’s here you are going to pay….I swear you’re going to pay.

In stumbles Clem, telling Jos that Gabe gave it to her good. Jos says what are you doing here, get the hell out. Miriam reiterates the demand to get out. Clem says it’s difficult to accept that he’s not Jos’s dad, Jos dismisses his feelings as corny. He wants to go get something from upstairs but Miriam blocks the way and says, this isn’t your house and we aren’t your family. Clem says he’s stil paying the price for the mistake of marrying Miriam. Then Jos & Miriam literally throw him out of the house with Miriam shouting out after him…”Hasta nunca…” which is such a great line.

Dolores tells Tiberio she’s working on proving her innocence. He’s like yeah yeah, what else.

Comic relief time, Cortito is cleaning the garden…

Pedro & Rogelio meet in the hallway. Rogelio says, if it’s that important to you, go look for her. Pedro says that’s what I’m going to do and I'm going to figure out everything else that’s going on…

Diana is modeling the clothes—which haven’t even been ironed.

Something’s going on at Antojitos Chela and everyone’s knickers are in a bunch.

Leo is packing his bags and Cande scolds him for getting his dr. jacket all wrinkled.

Jos tells Karen the last bit of news…Clemente isn’t your grandfather and isn’t your dad. She also tells her not to tell anyone. Gabe calls and asks to speak with Clemente, Jos tells him that he left the house. Cut to Clemente….DRINKING OUT OF THE BOTTLE (I called this last week!). I’m guessing we’re seeing this so his ‘rise from the depths of despair’ will be even more dramatic.

Miriam was looking in her safe, wondering about the missing contents, when Rogelio pops in and blames Pedro…that he’d seen him coming from the room and acting nervous. Miriam freaks and breaks her glass, cutting her hand.
We see Clemente stumbling drunk down an old dirty alley…Mari is correcting papers and suddenly grasps her heart…two robbers assault Clem…Mari’s pain gets more intense. Gabe comes in, looking for Clem. Mari realizes that something’s wrong with Clemente. She and Gabe go looking for him.

Leo fixes up Miriam’s hand at the hospital. As he finishes, the test results arrive and he comments how strange it is that they have the same rare type of blood. Yeah, that is weird, Miriam says. Then, unprofessionally, Leo starts daydreaming about his parents and how the only thing he has from them is the same blood type…nothing else. Miriam daydreams about telling him…but doesn’t…but will she tomorrow?
