Caray, Caray!

At the local jail cell, Fedora is talking to Paco about her “guilt.” She insists that she is the real killer. The truth won’t be a secret for long with this crowd and these scriptwriters.

Yolanda and Emilio discuss how tomorrow they will take Max’s bandages off.
Yolanda is wearing a lovely harvest gold cowl-neck sleeveless sweater. I’ve always found the sleeveless turtleneck to be one of the most baffling fashion concepts, as well as one of the most unattractive. Harvest gold, welll, there are no words. Rene arrives and wants to talk to Yolanda. After they get rid of Emilio, Rene says he has only three words for her—of course, yo te amo.

In the cell, Diana comes to see Fediota. She is so happy to be able call her mama.

Iggy and Silvia are talking at his pad. Silvia is wearing an ugly house coat with a blue turban. She looks like Ethel Mertz as visualized by Timothy Leary. She is looking for money for her date with Pancholon. Iggy suggests she sell her wigs--she'd get a small fortune for them.




Pancho and his mother argue about how he's too macho. He insists he is entitled to two wives.




Lala thinks Paola is going to come to a tragic end, and it will be his fault.






Iggy is now marveling about how Silvia plans to pay a man to sleep with her. She thinks she's crazy, but she says it's worth it. Iggy says it's great for her but not for the guy.






Pancho is now telling Paola about the wonderful vacation they will have in Orlando. Where are they going to get the money? Why from his "date" with Silvia, of course. Thankfully, he doesn't tell Paola this.




Iggy and Silvia continue to rehash the date with Pancho.






Rene continues to tell Yolanda how much he loves her. She says their love is "impossible."






Now Marfil sees Bruno begging in the street. Bruno has become a complete wreck. She looks worse than Granny M did when she was a homeless woman. Bruno is holding up a tin cup.






Diana tells her mom that Gaby told her the truth. Fediota says that she was waiting for the right time to reveal her identity. Puh-leeze. Diana wants Fed to use the lawyer that Paco is willing to hire. There is a long talk about a prueba de parafin, which literally means "wax test," but seems to be whatever test they do on firing the bullets. It seems the test doesn't show that Fed is guilty, but she wants to take the rap because she can't stand the idea of Gaby being in prison.





At the hospital, Max and Camila are talking about how it's too bad he can't see. He rehashes the whole twin imposter story for her--evidently she was the last to know.


He says that Debora was worse than Marfil. Camila says "don't be blind." Oops!



He now starts to defend Marfil--she was a victim of her sister, he wants to go back to her.


Diana is now back at the factory. She discusses with Caramelo how Caramelo knew about Fed being their mother. Caramelo is sorry but she had to keep it a secret. Diana slips in almost revealing that Gaby is the killer. Yolanda comes in.




Silvia is surveying her wig collection when Pancho calls. He's looking for a good location por pecar. (sin). He asks if she already has the money, but she says she's still getting it together.




Yolanda wants Diana to be present for the big bandage removal. Cut to the hospital where the doctor is unveiling Max. Diana, Marfil, Larry and Yolanda are all there. The orchestra of doom plays. Can you see me? Yes! I can see. Diana is standing next to him and she tells him she is so happy. Marfil is next to her, and she is miffed. Now Marfil edges Diana out of the way, and calls him "mi amor" and kisses him. Now it's Diana's turn to look miffed, but she just looks glassy-eyed.





Kike and Gaby are strolling outside. She seems upset. What a genius. She reveals to Kiki that she killed someone! And Fedora is taking the rap. He says don't worry--she will be fine with her self-defense claim. Everything will be all right. But guess what--Diego overhears.


Octavia comes to taunt Fedora at the jail. Amazing how they just let anyone in to visit. Anyway, this scene is too tedious and I didn't even pay close attention, so I won't recap in detail. You can guess.



Camila comes home, and Silvia tries to butter her up. Camila is wise to her ways and realizes she wants something. Yup, chimes in Iggy--3,000 bucks. For paying some guy to do her the favor of taking her virginity. This is just beyond gross, folks. You have to ask, why would Pancholon sleep with Silvia but not be willing to give his brother a massage? Which is worse? Just asking . . . Well, anyway, maybe he plans to take the money and not do the deed.




At the hospital, Marfil asks everyone to leave her alone with her husband. Diana is miffed, and Marfil smiles. Max tells Marfil that he is sorry Diana is upset. Marfil says she'll fix everything. Marfil then goes out and talks to Diana. She wants Diana to stop her dream for having Max. Now that Marfil is back, she should have him because she's the real spouse, and not the imposter, and she spent two years in a bed unconscious (but she belongs in a manicomio on the middle of the jungle). Diana tells her that she and Max really love each other and they have a son. No matter. Marfil will recoup his love. An accident took them apart, but they'll make up for lost time. Marfil finally says that she knows Diana is good, so don't steal her husband. Please help her recoup Max.






Cut to a brief scene of Caramelo talking to Fedora in the jail cell. More filler.






Back at the mansion, Diego calls out to Gaby--he says he overheard and she must tell the truth and confess her guilt. (Really, she should be able to make out a self-defense claim. Especially with her madre for an abogada.) For once, Diego seems to be the person with common sense. But why won't he confess to his wife that he can walk? Still a turd.



Back to the hospital: Marfil realizes that Diana wants Max for herself. She tells Diana that she has the best weapon of all--she is the real wife. (I think Caramelo tried that to no avail. Oh, well.) Credits roll.
