Caray, Caray!

We begin tonight’s episode with a quick recap of last night’s whinging…Demian is whining about being accused by Nic & Dolores, Tiberio is belly-aching to the police officer about his business being closed (um…a bribe might work better) and Mariangela is ruining her walk on the catwalk by CONSTANTLY looking over poutily at Joselyn who is working it!! Go Jos. (I was trying to remember where I’d seen the emcee of the fashion show…he hosts Vas o No Vas—Deal or No Deal).

Otilia wins and before Miriam slinks backstage to sharpen her claws she delivers the thank you speech. Otilia gives it right back, congratulating her on coming in second place and telling the audience that she admires her because she’s a woman who know how to lose, particularly since she’s never won. Cat fight! The parade of thank yous, etc. continues until Otilia calls out MA and announces that the name of the dress is Joselyn because it reflects capriciousness, vanity and ambition.

At the after party Regina (who’s wearing enough dead animals to keep a small Eskimo village warm---where’s PETA when you need ‘em?) gets in Dolores’ face about accusing Demian of trying to blow up Gabe.

Speaking of Gabe, he runs after MA to try and explain away Joselyn’s mid-fashion show kiss. He says it was a surprise. She retorts, of course, that’s the game. She surprises you and you let yourself be surprised. He invites her to dinner, she says no. Like a very old, but crafty and lecherous spider, he invites her to his web, saying he’ll cook dinner in his apartment and wait for her. She says don’t wait for me, I won’t come. He says I’ll be waiting.

The nacos are chatting about the fashion show. Silvestre says yeah yeah yeah, enough about them, let’s talk about us. He gets down on one knee and proposes to Elsa. You would have thought he asked Leo to get married because he’s over the moon. Elsa is grimacing but after some heavy arm-twisting by Silvestre and her family she says…yes.

Paulina (wearing the Easter bunny) and JC come home giddy in love. JC rubs Paulina’s belly and scares her by talking about death (again). Later, they are preparing their bags for their trip and JC passes out. Paulina is like, what do I do? While JC’s eyes are rolling back in his head.

Otilia and her gal pals are going to celebrate their win.

At the big house, the coven is meeting in Joselyn’s bedroom and moaning about their loss. Karen goes off to bed, and the other two speculate about her recent behavior.

Gabe puts the finishing touches on his fancypants dinner. The candles burn down to help us figure out that he’s waiting a long, long, long time. MA is outside the door wondering what to do. Gabe tells himself he can’t let her rejections bother him.

Regina & Demian are discussing Nic & Lola (Dolores is just too long to type for such a secondary character). D says to be severe with her, because this accusation is really disrespectful. Regina’s like yeah, but I have to forgive her because she’s a really good friend and Tiberio’s mom. I’m sure she didn’t mean anything bad.

Meanwhile, Nic & Lola are discussing the very same thing. They don’t believe D’s claim that it was used in some old construction project but Lola’s worried that Tiberio was involved.

Back at home and back on the bed with Luis David, MA is telling him all sorts of stuff he really doesn’t care about. He’s just trying to eat his book…probably because he’s used to shoving lollipops and other candy in his mouth whenever he’s on camera…actually they probably just glued some candy inside the book. She kisses him and he pushes her away (probably not scripted). Gabe calls, he wants to talk right away. They meet downstairs in the study (with the candlestick and Colonel Mustard). They have a little argument…that sounds exactly like every other argument they’ve had since MA came back from Europe (just look at the old recaps if you want a refresher). At the end that she does admit that she loves him, but that she wouldn’t be able to fulfill her desire for vengeance if she were with him.

At Cande’s house everyone’s psyched about the wedding….everyone except for Elsa. She looks like death warmed over. Everyone finally leaves and Cande goes off to bed. Elsa takes her little bottle out of her bag for a swig, when a loud knock at the door interrupts her…it’s pesky Silvestre telling her good night and how happy he is she said yes.

Paulina finally figured out to take JC to the hospital. Leo helps her. Later, he calls D’s house looking for Lola, but Regina answers and gets a bad feeling. JC is stable but weak. He asks Leo to keep lying to everyone. He also asks if he’s going to live to see his baby. Leo doesn’t really give a straight answer.

Employing the always economical flashback (twice the show, half the work!) we see MA and Gabe mulling over their earlier chit chat.

Karen’s leaving for the hospital and Joselyn, getting drunk on the couch, asks where she’s going and why she’s been so damn moody lately. Karen asks Jos if she loved Edgar, her father. Jos says, in the beginning yes, but then he just became a nuisance.

Leonardo finishes up with his second patient (JC) of the day by tucking him into bed…in his own house. He tells him to rest and that they probably shouldn’t go on that second honeymoon.

Regina was waiting up to apologize to Dolores. They make up and they’re friends again. Regina tells Lola that Leo called and then Pau calls to tell her they won’t be going because JC was in the hospital and has to wait. Regina, slowly starting to put two and two together, asks Lola why Leo called her.

Karen shows up at the apartment of love. Pau is like how did you know JC was sick? Oh, Leo told me. Pau tries to put two and two together but she only comes up with one and a half. She goes to answer the door, leaving Karen and JC alone in the bedroom. JC tells her how awful things are and Karen tells him that Paulina really loves him and actually seems to be sincere in her answers.
