Caray, Caray!

We open to Friday's closing scene in Octavia's office, where the judge is ruling against Octavia, and Diana is rubbing it in Marfil's face.

Back at Isabel's apartment, Isabel is preparing to give Deborah a sedative as Deborah begs her not to. Isabel responds that she must do it so that Deborah doesn't scream and arouse the suspicions of the neighbors or the police.

In Octavia's office, Fedora is awarded Octavia's factory, mansion, and her fortune. Marfil wants Max and Larry to call a lawyer, but Larry says that it's an act of justice. Marfil implores Max to do something, but Max refuses. He says they will leave the mansion immediately. I had some trouble understanding what the judge says, but I think he's saying to calm down, that there will be a trial. Fedora tells Max that this is just the beginning, she won't rest until O is in prison.

At psycho mansion, O and Yo are frantically throwing halter tops and rayon dresses into suitcases while O whines about how her life is in ruins. Paola is driving her nuts. Yolanda is telling her to leave quickly so that she won't have to go to jail. Enter Granny DS, who wants to know if O is going on a trip. O tries really hard to lift her eyebrows in response.

***WHAT IN THE WORLD?*** Sweet piano music plays as Paola and Pancho sign their wedding documents. Pancho looks like he doesn't have a care in the world. Rene and Sylvia are there to witness it. This is some crazy scene.

Jump to casa Soriano, where Diego is telling Lala that his brother can't get married to Paola without divorcing Caramelo because he'll go to prison.

Back to Octavia's bedroom, where she tells Granny DS that she's going on a trip and that she hopes she won't have to see Granny's face ever again. Yolanda, who's still wearing the lumpy oatmeal sweater, tells her to be careful, and good luck.

Marfil, Larry, and Max are in the living room discussing the day's events. Marfil doesn't understand why they don't call their lawyers. Enter Octavia, who tells them that she's outta there. She's not spending the rest of her days in prison. Marfil tells her to stay and fight, but Octavia says her children are a disgrace. Her daughter is marrying a servant's son. She turns on her heels and walks out of the room with her snazzy lavender suitcase in tow.

Fedora is telling Diana and Gaby that the justice has begun, she's going to pay for all of the pain she's caused. Gaby and Diana are still concerned about Larry and Max. It's pretty much the same discussion they always have... nothing new. Except that Fedora gives them a little teaser that soon they will learn the truth. Cut to commercial.

When we return from commercial, we're still at casa Soriano where Fedora is telling them that what they will learn will be very important.

Cut to the courthouse, where the judge is congratulating Pancho y Paola. Rene and Sylvia are both looking nervous and weird, as usual. Come to think of it - why don't we see this couple together more often? They're perfect for each other! I digress... Paola is so happy she jumps into Rene's arms, which Sylvia uses as an excuse to tackle Pancho. Pancho breaks away long enough to kiss Paola and promise that she's the only woman for him.

Back at the mansion, Larry and Yolanda are discussing Paola's marriage. Yolanda says that Paola is crazier each day. Max goes off on a rant about how dysfunctional the family is. Mama's going to prison and soon the rest of the family will be in the street.

In Bruna's room, Marfil is complaining about the downfall of the Irazabals. She can't believe that Paola is marrying the son of a servant. Bruna's not surprised - it's become a custom for them to marry servants.

We're transported to casa Soriano, where Fedora is preparing to tell Gaby and Diana the truth, when Granny arrives and interrupts them to tell them about the latest emergency - Pancho is going to marry Paola!

Back at Lala's house, Lala and Diego are discussing the Paola/Pancholon fracaso (disaster). Pancho arrives and Lala asks if what Nancy told her is true - is it true that he married Paola. He tells her that it's true. (Does anyone else find it odd that this newlywed has returned to his mama's house immediately after the ceremony, sans bride?)

We return to the Irazabal living room, where Yolanda and Max are having a pity party about the recent turn of events, while Larry thinks that Max should do something. Max wants no part of it, he's too worried about how he's going to support his ugly sweater habit now that they're broke. He polishes off his drink and walks out.

At casa Soriano, Fedora is telling Gaby, Diana, and Granny that if it's true that Pancho has married Paola without divorcing Caramelo, they shouldn't tell her because it will be too painful for her.

Max has gone to his room to take a little siesta when Marfil storms in ready to rumble. He tells her to get out, he wants to be alone.

Now we jump to Ignacio's apartment where Camila's telling him that he has to do something about Diana framing him. Enter Sylvia, who tells them that she can't tell them where she's been because it's a secret of Paola, and she won't tell. Camila threatens to remove her wig, so Sylvia tells Camila that Paola has married a MDH - one of the dancers from bar Don Paco.

Back at Lala's house, Lala is laying into Pancho about getting married without being divorced. He says that it's just a secret between them... Paola doesn't know that he was already married. He doesn't know why he did it, he was just crazy. He promises mama that everything will be fine. Poor mama, I suspect that she's heard this line of bull a few times before. He wants to bring his new bride to Lala's house to live, but she forbids it.

Fedora wants to change the subject from Pancho & Caramelo and discuss her plans for the perfume factory. She suggests that Diana and Gaby come to work with her. Then when she gets her mansion back, they can all live together! Diana shoots her down by telling her that she already has a job at the hospital. She would love to work at the perfume factory, but her true profession is nursing. Sappy violins begin to play.

Luscious Larry is telling Max that he has no problem with losing everything they own, but he doesn't want to lose Gaby to Kike. Cue Larry and Gaby's theme song as he says that he's going to find her and apologize. Max tells him not to waste any time, to go now and get his wife back. Cut to commercial.

Pobre Caramelo is crying to Jorge about Pancho's infidelity. He was the love of her life.

Pancho is pleading with Lala to let Paola live with them. Lala refuses and slaps his face when he won't drop it. Diego, who's suddenly the voice of reason, steps in and tries to get him to understand what he's done. Pancho says that he knows that this is a disaster, but he doesn't know what to do now.

Fedora tells Gaby and Diana that she'll see them at the office tomorrow at 8. Gaby reminds her that before Granny arrived, she was about to tell them something important... Fedora says that they'll discuss it later. Just then the phone rings - Gaby answers, so obviously it's for her. It's Larry. Cue the theme song.

Sweet violins play as Pancho sweet talks his mama into letting his new wife live with them. Diego says that it's not Paola's fault, so she should be allowed to live there. By the end of the scene, Lala's smooth talking sons talk her into this bizarre arrangement.

At the mansion, Yoland is telling Nancy that she doesn't know if Octavia will come back, but she knows that Paola won't. Rene arrives and wants to know why his bomboncito is crying. She wants to know why he lied to her, why he let her marry Pancho. He says Paola's in love, he couldn't stop her, and pulls Yolanda in for a very stiff looking hug.

Here we are in Bruna's room where Marfil receives a call from Andres. She tells Bruna to leave so they can talk. He wants to know what she's done with his wife. She assures him that his wife is still alive.

Larry tells Gaby that he's called to say that he loves her, but she doesn't believe him. She thinks that he's calling because of what's happening with Fedora. He says that Fedora has nothing to do with the two of them, he loves her with all his heart. He wants to see her and talk to her. She agrees to come to the mansion, but when she hangs up she says that she loves him to, but their love is impossible.

Diana is telling baby Max that what's happening is justice, but it hurts because she still loves his papa. It's basically the same thing she says to herself everytime she's alone. This girl needs to pick up the pieces and move on!

At the mansion, Max tells the Irazabal crew, sans Octavia, that he's sure that in a few days they'll need to leave the mansion. Marfil wants to fight, but Max refuses. He proposes that they get an apartment. Granny DS is infeliz because she can't take all of her dolls with her.

Here we are at Lala's house, where the blushing bride is checking out her new digs. She thought bubbles that it doesn't matter that it's not as luxurious as her home, what matters is that she'll be with Pancho. Lala enters and they have a little heart to heart about how Paola is going to change - he'll be a good husband.

Back to casa Soriano where Pancho's marriage is still the topic of the day. Granny doesn't know what he was thinking, and Diego is very worried about him. Everyone agrees to keep the secret from the Irazabals so that Pancho will have some time to get divorced from Caramelo before they find out.

Max is in his bedroom drowning his sorrows, drinking so that he can forget Diana.

The next morning Fedora takes the reins at the perfume factory. All of the extras on the set act as employees so that she can hold a meeting where she tells them they will all keep their jobs and get raises. Gaby and Diana will be her right hands, and she promises that many things will change. Emilio will also be staying, as Fedora knows that he's a professional and that he has good references. Isn't it odd that she would accept his references, considering that they would be from the evil Irazabal clan? Dios mio, this lady is crazy. Credits roll.
