Caray, Caray!

Not off to a good start this episode, everyone is busy weeping over JC & Pau’s doomed romance. JC is content to suffer alone, weeping and looking all the more pathetic and pale in his stupid yellow sweater (ugh). Gabe is comforting Paulina, when Regina shows up with the big news…JC is sick. Paulina falls apart. Regina tells the whole story about JC’s great plot o’ secrecy and ends with, the only thing that can save him is a marrow transplant, Paulina jumps up ready to donate hers right away. Gabe, ever the voice of reason (who knew?) says, calm down girlie, it’s not quite that easy. Duh. They start on their own little Operation Big Secret (from this point forward, referred to as Operation BS), and decide to help JC without telling him. This sounds like a really dumb idea. Group hug.

Dr. Bedazzler (Leo—today draped in full bedazzled glory) is worried about JC and has realized how thankful he is for life and blah blah blah. He and his mom weep together and hug.

Paulina goes back home and tries to do her best b*tch act…which, of course, is not very good, maybe she should sign up for a basic course at Jocelyn’s College of BadA** B*tches. She’s decided to fight for their love and asks to show him the power of her love, yada yada yada.

Otilia and her coven are cackling over her plan to conquer the pre-hispanic clothing market.

Regina confesses to Lola that she told Paulina & Gabe. Lola asks if she’s going to tell the big D. Regina’s not sure. Lola tells her that Karen knows too and Regina’s like, oops I treated her like a little hussy because I thought she was nosing in on my son’s marriage. Oh no, she’s not a hussy anymore Lola says, she’s changing.

As we speak the hussy Karen is out with JC and telling him that Paulina is doing the right thing. Awww…the doctor is in.

Jos & Miriam are scratching each other’s eyes out with worry that their evil plans are all falling apart.

Gabe sends up a silent prayer for JC when Nicolas comes in talking business about investigating the big D’s business affairs. Gabe says that’s fine, just be discreet. Nic asks if he’s heard from MA. Nope….it’s a big fat mystery. How weird!

Silvestre & Elsita are arguing about her drinkin’ ways. She says I promise I won’t drink anymore, just don’t tell my mom or my irritatingly perfect, holy roller brother ‘cause I won’t never hear the end of it!

Jos confronts Gabe about MA’s mystery vacation. Joselyn herself looks like she’s got a nightjob as an Everest sherpa, but couldn’t afford the good gear so she just killed a muppet and made a coat out of its pelt.

Regina, Paulina sit down with Karen to apologize for thinking she was a total hussy. They clue her into Operation BS. They all spit on their hands, shake hands and call it good. They’re BFFs.

JC is pondering what a total idiot he is and thinking of new ways to be an even bigger one.

D is asking Regina what’s been bothering her lately. She says she’s just tired. He guesses it’s about JC. He’s going to man up and go talk to him but really he’s just peeved that she didn’t tell him every little thing on her mind.

Paulina is busy demonstrating her love by sweeping off eraser dust from JC’s design, picking up dropped pencils and otherwise being an insufferable nag. D bursts in and confronts him about his crappy attitude of late. JC goes to chat with his mom and gets all dizzy—she freaks out and almost blows her cover. They end up crying, hugging and telling one another how much they love each other. Awwwww…

Elsa and Silvestre are home and greeted by Dr. Bedazzler and Cande. Elsa beats a hasty retreat and everyone gives each other a look of discomfort.

Gabe wants to call off Operation BS, but Pau, with her keen logical mind, convinces him otherwise.

Nicolas confronts Tiberio about some project or other and wants to know if there are any of Demian’s special little surprises in store. Tiberio, says, no, everything is in order, but Nico isn’t convinced and lets him in on a little secret…he wants to know how involved Ty is in D’s dirty work. Tiberio is totally confused. I say it every week but this plot line could really be underwritten by the National Mexican Alliance of Mental Health Care Professionals if Tiberio would just go and talk to someone about all these conflicting feelings.

Gabe confesses to Lola that something happened between MA and him. He gives her a letter, to see if she can make head or tails of it. She can’t. Lola suggests that maybe Jos has something to do with all this, since she’s the one who wants them separated. Hmmmm….Gabe’s got something to think about.

Regina goes to Joselyn and rubs MA’s magazine cover and her big projects in her face. Jos goes nutsy and tears the magazine to bits. Enter Demian and they start arguing about the plan and threaten each other, blah blah blah.

Dr. Bedazzler, as usual without any patients, calls Gabe about running the tests to be a marrow donor for JC. They’ll do them that evening. Silvestre stops by with the magazine about MA. Leo wishes there was a centerfold, but will settle for the little old article about her professional life.

Elsita is drinking alone again.

Karen delivers her designs to Miriam with a cheery disposition and Miriam is like, that’s enough of that silly attitude, what’s up? Karen says she just wants to be a better person. Miriam tells her she’s just becoming a stupider person every day acting like that. Karen’s all whatever, you guys sure as hell aren’t happy so I’m going to try it this way instead.

Nicolas tells Lola that Tiberio didn’t spill any beans about how wrapped up he is with Demian’s shady business deals. Lola’s worried and so he offers to take her out for coffee.

Miriam is going off on Demian about his little ruse with Jos. She says that there are going to be some pretty serious consequences when Gabe finds out, because he’s certainly going to make a big stink about it, and then Regina will find out. She calls him a real imbecile.

Gabe’s on his way to the hospital, when Jos comes down the hallway, telling that guy that he’s leaving the building. Oh god, how corny. She has set it up so the car almost hits Gabe, but she saves the day, but then will need to be taken to the hospital by Gabe where they can fall in love all over again. But…Nic & Lola (on their way for coffee) are like, no way, there’s nothing wrong with that little faker. Joselyn, however, has a PhD from Joselyn’s College of BadA** B*tches, so she keeps up with the ruse. Gabe is befuddled, as usual.
