Caray, Caray!

We open to the closing scene from Monday, where Fedora graciously gives all of the employees a raise. Emilio is very relieved to learn that he will also be keeping his job. Emilio looks almost sheepish as he welcomes the three of them and asks if she plans to change the name of the factory. Of course she's going to change it. It will be called Garces-Ledesma.

Lucky for the Irazabals, Emilio has a three bedroom apartment they can take over now that they're being evicted from the mansion. Emilio and Larry will share a room, Granny DS and Yolanda will share the second, and Marfil & Max will take the third. Granny DS likes her new digs, and looks forward to Diana visiting them. Max advises Nancy to ask Fedora for a job in the mansion, and tells Bruna that there is a servant's bedroom off the kitchen. **A servant's bedroom off the kitchen? That's an old fashioned idea for a modern skyscraper, much like the faux brick in the living room!** Bruna resists, but Max lets her know that things are not the same as they were in the mansion. End of story. Marfil hates the new quarters. Yolanda and Larry are surprising calm during all of this. They probably think this is a field trip or something. Larry apologizes for not being able to help with the luggage because he has to return to the mansion to meet with Gaby.

Once Yolanda is alone with Max, she asks why he doesn't look for Diana. She knows that he loves her. He says that for the rest of her life, Diana will only feel hate for him. What a drama queen!

Fedora recieves a call from Lala at the mansion, who informs her that the Irazabals have all left! Fedora is thrilled with this news, and tells Lala that she still has a job and will be receiving a raise.

We return to the perfume factory where Diana looks like she's ready to go to a garden party in her mauve sleeveless dress and strappy sandals. Emilio shows Diana to her office, which used to be Max's office. Diana is impactada. He asks if she loves Max, but she doesn't want to talk to him about it. Emilio says that Max is like a brother to him and he knows that Max loves her with all his heart. Diana says she's not interested in Max's love. Emilio excuses himself and Diana waxes poetic about Max's desk, his chair, his stuff.

We're transported to Key West where Octavia is thought bubbling that the police won't find her there. (Because Key West is so far from Miami) She's going to change her name and go to Hawaii, where she will have plastic surgery. She will never go to jail. Never.

Jump to the mansion, where the doormat is in the foyer calling Larry's name. Could he be in his room? No, he's probably at the pool because he likes to sunbathe. Perfecto! She goes to the pool and finds Luscious waiting patiently at a table. They exchange hellos and he tells her to come closer. Gaby: Why did you ask to see me? Luscious: So that I can repeat 5,000 times that I love you! Don't worry - my mom is gone. These months without you have been so hard! Gaby's not sure... their relationship has been rocky... but all it take is a smooch from Luscious to convince her. Wait until Fedora hears about this!

At the front door, Pilar is calling out "is anybody home?" We all know where this is headed...

Meanwhile, Pancho's fierita Paola is trying to cook breakfast, and nearly burns down the house. Lala comes in and tries to clear the smoke, and is not happy to hear that her son is still sleeping at 11.

Back at the pool, Gaby admits that she's afraid to believe in Larry, but he promises to prove that he's sincere. He's bought her another wedding dress so that they can get married in a church. Pilar is spying on them from behind a lamp post. He wants to move away with her - far away from all of the hate and revenge. Of course Gaby accepts. Pilar looks like she's going to vomit.

Pancho is just waking and screaming for Guera... he can't sleep because it's so hot. Lala sneaks into the room with a bucket of water and throws it on him to cool him off.

Paco is running along the beach in Key West when he runs past none other than Octavia! She says his name as he passes. He stops and asks who she is... she removes her glasses and he learns that it's Alicia - the love of his life! Cue the violins.

At the factory, Fedora is discussing her revenge with Diana. Now that it's all coming together, she has time for love. With Paco.

***I may have missed something here. I got an error saying that part of the recording was missed due to signal loss***

Jump to casa Soriano, where I'm happy to see Max in a gray sweater that's not the color of an ice cream cone. And it actually fits! Max is pressing Diego about the baby's paternity, which Diego swears is his.

We return to Key West, where Octavia and Paco are kissing like there's no tomorrow.

Back to the office, where Fedora is telling Diana about her plans to marry Paco. She'll tell him when he returns from Key West.

At the Irazabal pool, Larry and Gaby are making plans to marry and move to Venezuela. She's always dreamed of a big wedding with a lot of guests, but he says they must turn their back on everyone. Evil Pilar is still spying. She sneaks off to call Kike to tell him the news. Kike is impactado.

Diana is sitting at Max's desk daydreaming about him. Nothing new here. Just the same old same old.

We return to Key West, where Paco asks O what she's doing there. She's on vacation, she needed a rest. He's there to buy a bar. They're staying at the same hotel, so he suggests that they have dinner together.

Yolanda tells Bruna where to put the luggage, and Bruna responds with a sneer "are you giving me an order? I work only for Marfil!"

Octavia calls Yolanda to see if there's a warrant for her arrest. Yolanda says she thinks they're still investigating the murder. O tells Yolanda that she's run into Paco in Key West and she plans to get him back.

At Lala's house, Paola is drying off Pancho after the bucket incident. He's wearing his ridiculous "checks accepted" tank top again and Lala's laying into him about sleeping all day. He's married and he needs to stop being lazy and get a job. He needs a serious job or she'll throw him out. Paola thinks this is a great idea. He can get a job and they can save some dinero and rent a house. This girl is delusional!

Now crazy Fedora is making plans to buy 3 company cars for her, Gaby, and Diana to drive. She wants the best for both of them. Emilio offers to accompany them whenever they want to go car shopping. Emilio leaves and Gaby informs Fedora that the Irazabals have left the mansion and O has left. Fedora is not concerned. In the end, O will go to prison.

Back to Paola y Pancho, where Pancho is making Paola promise not to do drugs anymore. She only used to escape from her life and her mama, she doesn't need to use anymore now that she has Pancho! Commercial break.

At Emilio's apartment, Emilio is telling Max that he's going to continue working at the factory, and that the Irazabals are like family to him, his home will always be open to them. Is this guy a glutton for punishment or what? Max has to break the news about Paola - she's married to Pancho. Pobre de Emilio!

We return to Isabel's apartment, where Marfil makes sure that her sister is not a danger to her. Isabel will keep her sedated until Marfil decides what to do with her.

Now we're transported to casa Soriano, where Diana is now sweeping the floor while wearing the same garden party outfit she wore to work. Diego is pouting as usual. She suggests that he can get a job there too, but he's reluctant. Diana tells Diego that in a few days they'll be moving to the mansion, which doesn't excite Diego. Diego tells Diana that he's decided to see a specialist.

Back a Emilio's place, Bruna is complaining to Marfil about the accomodations. It's too small for so many people! Marfil shares her fantasy that Diana's husband kills Diana in a fit of jealousy. Bruna tells her that her marriage to Max is sunk. Marfil knows that, but she wants to make sure that Max can never marry Diana.

Paola offers to help Lala iron. She doesn't know how, but she'll learn. She wants to learn to cook, to iron, everything. The phone rings -- it's the hospital calling to say that Pancho has been shot!

Gaby is tucking little Maximilliano in when Larry calls to say that he has good news -- they can get married tomorrow!

Meanwhile, Diego and Diana are discussing his plans to see a specialist when there's an insistent knock at the door. Paola's come to tell them that Pancho's been shot!

Back to Isabel's apartment, where Andres has arrived with a bottle of whiskey. Isabel agrees to join him, but he knows that she prefers rum. **Andres responds "la miel no se hizo la boca del burro" -- the honey did not become the mouth of the donkey. I think the loose translation would be "there's no accounting for taste"** He notices that she's wearing a new dress, and she explains that she's paying for it by keeping a kidnap victim because the pay is good. She's taking a vacation from scruples. Andres asks for ice, but she doesn't have any. She'll go borrow some from a neighbor. This gives Andres the chance to see who's in the bedroom - Deborah!

Diana, Gaby, Lala, and Diego rush to the hospital, but it's too soon to know.

Return to Emilio's, where Emilio and Max are drunk and talking about their lost loves again. Marfil's furious. She wants to know why Max is drunk again. He tells her it's because he was thinking about Diana.

Andres tries to wake Deborah. She wakes and tells him to help her escape.

Back to Max and Marfil, where Marfil wants to get their perfect marriage back, to love each other the way they did before. Max is not interested. Marfil sheds the glycerine tear of pure dolor. Credits roll.
