Caray, Caray!

Today, we are still trying to get Bruno to reveal the baby's whereabouts. I will shorten the suspense for all by summarizing these long and repetitive scenes. Bruno asks to have Diana sent in. She wants to see her suffer. She makes Diana humiliate herself with tears. She blames her for Marfil's unhappiness and Debora's death. Finally, she says she will tell her where the baby is for something in exchange--she wants her to give up Max for the happiness of her daughter Marfil. Diana says she has already given him up--there is nothing between them. But you still love him, says Bruno, and he loves you. I want you not to love him and him not to love you. Diana says she can't control another person, and besides, he needs to work at the factory. But there's nothing between them. Dimwit strikes again! Bruno begins to have another heart attack. Or fake heart attack, I'm not sure.

Diana goes back in the hall, where Marfil and Max and Diego are waiting. Marfil doesn't want her to go back in, because she is intent on protecting her mama! She really wants her mother to die without revealing the truth, but she is not letting on. This is pretty much where we end up.

In another room at the hospital, we see the Mummy getting ready to reveal herself. She takes the bandages off her severely wounded hand and holds it up for us to see. Then she flashes back to when she was getting burned. Then she says "I can't feel my hand!"


Diana goes home at the end and finds her mother drinking and tries to get her to stop.

Larry and Yolanda rehash news on the beach. Yolanda doesn't want to reveal her relationship to Max yet, because he is preoccupied with the kidnapping.

Now for a new development: New characters! We see Camila and Iggy strolling on the beach and lamenting how they have no money. Suddenly Iggy's cell phone rings, and it's his cousin Eduardo, who he hasn't seen in two years. Eduardo is very rich and is coming from California (we see him in his mansion) to work for two years. He is going to rent a place, it seems, and Iggy offers him the run of his homeless shelter. (This part makes no sense, because if the guy is so rich, why would he want to stay in Iggy's little apartment?) Eduardo asks why Iggy isn't at the hospital, and Iggy says, oh, things, you know. After the call, Iggy and Camila figuratively high-five at their sudden good luck. The arrival of cousin Eddie will solve their dinero problems.


Anyway, Eduardo has a wife who he's crazy about. She's out shopping, he says. She just loves shopping. The camera cuts to a scene of wifey in bed with some shirtless hunk. He must be her personal shopper.
Later, she comes home, and they discuss the move to Miami and their upcoming stay with cousin Iggy. She wants to go to the movies, but he is too busy. She's very excited about the move to Miami. She seems to harbor a great desire to get it on with Iggy, I think, and she says that once she's in Miami she will have men who pay attention to her.

Finally, the Orlando vacation comes to a dramatic conclusion!
Puncho is in the pool kissing some strange girl. He pulls away from her just in time for Caramelo to come downstairs in another thong bikini. She starts kissing him. Paco comes out and tells her that Paola was there. Meanwhile, Octy is upstairs telling Paola that Caramelo is there. Paola runs downstairs, and the fun begins. Paola and Caramelo start the usual bitch-slap fest and go into the pool. Then Paco, Emilio and Puncho start exchanging blows and also fall into the pool. The action continues with a five-way free-for-all. Finally it is over, and Puncho is much the worse for wear, with his face bloodied.

Caramelo doesn't want to leave, and she cries that she still loves him. Paco tries to convince her that Pancho is trash, and she should divorce him and take up with a nice working stiff, like Emilio, who respects women. She cries some more.

Meanwhile, Paola is trying to clean Puncho's wounds, and she gets angry because she thinks he had planned the trip knowing Caramelo would be there. For once, he is in the clear, but no matter. Finally, she leaves with Octy. Pancho is left looking in the mirror and lamenting how his fieritas have disobeyed him. He begins to look and sound delusional and mad.

Meanwhile, the others still don't know that Paco is Paola's father!
