Caray, Caray!

Nicolás is threatening Jos with a world premiere of a video…starring her. In order to keep the video under wraps, she signs the divorce papers. He’s a really good assistant and who knew he could be such a bad-ass. She gets the disk, but he tells her he has another copy at his house (uh-oh…probably shouldn’t have told her where it was Nic) and will show it to Gabriel if she makes him. The decision is all hers, if she tries to do anything against Gabriel.

Luisito is eating his ice cream and telling his friend that he just heard Coyote’s voice but doesn’t want to tell Mari.

Leonardo is chatting with his taxi buddies about his job offer (why is this a struggle?) Gabriel comes to chat with Leo about Mariángela’s happiness.

Otilia and Soraya are at the Televisa studios and they see…Miranda (Jacqueline Bracamontes)!! There’s a light breeze blowing in the courtyard so Miranda has to hold on to Otilia so she doesn’t blow over. Fortunately she’s an actress so she makes it look like she’s holding her hand because they’re really good friends. Otilia tells her about her clothing boutique and they share fashion ideas. Otilia continues with the meet and greet of Televisa stars asking them to wear her clothes and share the name of her boutique when they are interviewed. Otilia tells Soraya that Miriam is going to be shocked when she sees these stars recommending her boutique. Take that Miriam!

Miriam and Ingrid are discussing Clemente’s fortune. Miriam has discovered, much to her surprise, that she doesn’t control all of Clemente’s fortune, like she thought she did. Federico told her that Clemente has other investments and now she wants to know where Clem keeps that will.

Clemente, drinking and daydreaming out the window (poor Clem, he’s going to be drinking out of the bottle by the time this novela reaches its end), is thinking about his promise to take care of Mari and to tell her he is her father. He decides to do it right away.

Mari's school seems to be doing well. The group of students is outgrowing her kitchen table. Her new student’s mom tells her how lucky she is to have a boyfriend like Leo. Mari agrees (halfheartedly) and then changes the subject to say that she’s really lucky to have a job with such great students such as these. Ugh.

Leo and Candelaria are admiring her sequined handiwork. Leo hands her a cup of tea (or coffee?) and when she asks for a roll to go along with it he says no, she needs to lose weight (I guess this is one of the bad parts of having a doctor for a son). He tells her that Gabriel is still planning to divorce Jos.

Miriam is contemplating the astounding possibilities for sibiling rivalry if Jos and Leo found out they were brother and sister. Enter Jos, who tells her that she had to sign the divorce papers. Miriam says now they have to get Luisito back—in order to be able to control Gabriel (and presumably his money)--, and the way to do that is to prove that Gabe is a bad dad. Ingrid comes crashing in with a letter from the director of the psychiatric hospital. It says that Jos has completed her therapy (?). She gives a crazed chuckle in joy.

Babyface JC and Paulina are in their sparsely furnished apartment discussing whether or not and when to get out of bed.

At the office, Gabe is remembering Leo’s determination to marry Mari. The phone rings and it’s Pau sharing the news that Demián visited them on their honeymoon to apologize.

Regina & Demián are discussing the same theme. D suggests having JC and Pau over for a family dinner. Regina couldn’t be more shocked, or could she? Then D says he’s also going to ask Gabe over as well. She could and she’s thrilled to hear it.

Back in the boutique, Otilia & Soraya are discussing their recent marketing ploy. Apparently in exchange for appearing on the show, the Televisa stars expected a little positive PR and Otilia starts in on how not only are these ladies very lovely, they are also intelligent. With a smile on her face, Otilia then eviscerates poor Soraya, telling her to dress in a more decent and presentable way.

Miriam gives Nic the psych documents and he dismisses them, saying that it’s too late because Jos has already signed a voluntary divorce paper. He adds that very soon, this little problem will be over. After he leaves, Miriam mutters, that’s what you think.

Regina tells Simona that a miracle is taking place with Demián’s change of heart. His apology to JC and Pau and the upcoming visit of Gabriel and his family for dinner is wonderful, she says. Clearly, this is a build-up to more bad stuff happening.

Nic gives Gabriel the good news. When Gabe asks how he got her to sign it, Nic just tells him that it’s a professional secret.

JC & Pau finally got themselves out of bed and are at the office. Pau is happy that things are going well and she loves her mother-in-law. But when she sees JC & Regina together, she can’t stop thinking about her birth parents abandoning her. JC tells her to forget about it.

Mari & Leo are acting all flirty. Leo tells her about his job offer at the hospital and that he still isn’t sure if he should take it since it would mean leaving his taxi-driving friends in the lurch (I’m sure it’s practically impossible to find a replacement taxi driver in ALL OF MEXICO CITY!). His stupid idea is to drive taxis during the day and work in the hospital at night. Mari tells him he’ll get sick if he does that…Leo thinks it’s cute that she’s worried about him (actually she’s worried about erratic driving skills and patients being given the wrong dosages of meds).

Pedro is visiting Gabe and they discuss Diana’s leaving and how strange and sad it is.

Otilia & Soraya are discussing Diana. Soraya tells her that she fell in love with the wrong man. Otilia blah blah blahs about women and men and ends up telling Soraya to tell Diana to come by and she’ll help her out.

Karen, dressed as though she was auditioning for a role as a slutty clown, is telling Miriam and Jos that she discovered that Otilia’s boutique is growing and that she’s planning to launch a line of clothes. Miriam scoffs but doesn’t want to underestimate her and sends Karen on another scouting mission. Later, Regina chirpily comes in and invites them to dinner. Jos doesn’t want to go, but Miriam says don’t be dumb…this is a good opportunity to plant seeds of doubt in Demián. They discuss their evil plans…Jos says she knows that Regina is in love with Gabe, and Miriam says we’ll take advantage of that fact.

Demián comes into Gabe’s office so that they can talk with out rancor or hatred. He invites him to dinner, saying that he understands Gabe’s apprehension, but he has good intentions. Demián says he thinks it’s best that the two families are united and peaceful. Gabe agrees to go but says he hopes it’s not another one of his tricks.

Luisito (who is looking more like Eddie Munster every day) tells his friend that he is going to tell JC about Coyote. Later his friend says don’t tell anyone we can investigate it and nothing bad will happen because he saw it in the movies that nothing ever happens to the good guys, just to the bad guys. Apparently, this kids needs to watch more novelas! They tell Pancho their plan to become jr. detectives.

Tiberio, in his efforts to make sure that he gets more than his brother, goes to Rogelio to stir things up. He tells him that since Pau isn’t even his sister, it’s not fair that they get the same. A good seed to plant in the mind of that snake.

JC & Pau are going to go shopping for their house…a great opportunity for another video music montage to show us how in love they are. They eat non-stop and twirl around the market and then set stuff up in their house.

Candelaria goes up to Mari’s apartment and asks her to deliver a letter to Elsa. When Mari delivers it, she tells Elsa that her mother is really suffering and that since she has moved into her own apartment, Elsa could return home. Too late, says Elsa, besides she loves stupid adopted Leo more than me. Mari tells her that a mother is the greatest blessing in the whole world and she should just love and respect Candelaria.

Gabe & Rogelio are talking about the family dinner that night. Rog doesn’t want to go, he’s still too broken up over his recent losses. Gabe tries to talk some sense into Rogelio about Diana, but he’s not having any of it. When Gabe suggests that they look for her together, naturally Rog says NO! don’t do anything (since then she might tell you what a rat-fink I am!)

Soraya introduces Diana to Otilia. She’s going to work as a model...but first Otilia has to insult her and teach her to walk like a crazy person.

Leo tells the head doctor that he wants the new job if he can work at night. The doctor’s like, and when are you going to sleep. Leo tells him not to worry, he can do it…he’s Super-Leo!

Pedro got a job for Cortito as Candelaria’s replacement. Hmmm…that ought to be interesting.

JC & Pau are trying to get ready, but first they have to dance around and kiss in their bathrobes. One last shot of how completely happy and in love they are before everything comes crashing down?

Demián is telling Tiberio that since JC is done with his other project, he’ll be starting full time at his firm soon. Tiberio asks if he should he treat him like a real brother, or like you treat your brother, with a growing hatred and with a desire for vengeance. Should I follow your example in how I treat JC? This makes Demián angry, but since Regina is coming down the stairs he has to hide it. He starts hyper-ventilating as he looks at Regina, telling her that she’s more beautiful than ever.

Nicolás tells Gabe he still doesn’t believe that D has changed. He suggests that Regina is still in love with him, and asks Gabe if he would consider renewing his relationship with her if she weren’t married to D. No time to answer, here comes Eddie Munster.

Jos, sporting her best Farrah Fawcett ‘do, is getting ready for the big night. Miriam is wondering where Clemente is. He’s at Mari’s apartment, telling her the big news. She’s shocked and can’t believe it.
