Caray, Caray!

Monday's episode begins with Diana on the phone with a woman (Isabel, but Diana doesn't know this) who says that she has the baby, she didn't kidnap him, she took him from Bruna, who asked her to watch him for her. Just as she's about to give Diana her address, the police knock on the door and she hangs up. The scene ends with the police coming in and looking around the apartment suspiciously.

Next we're transported to Paco's apartment, where Octavia is daydreaming about destroying Fedora when Paola walks in saying that she's leaving. A fight ensues - Octavia tells her to have some pride and dignity and stop this fooling around with her naco husband.

Back to the mansion, where Fedora is trying to console Diana. She's sure that the woman who called will call again.

Back to Isabel's place, where the police explain that they received a call about a woman being beaten. Isabel looks oddly relieved when she responds that it must be the neighbor, who doles out daily beatings. The police leave, but Isabel's friend tells her that she needs to return the baby to his parents before she ends up in jail.

Back to the Octavia/Paola fiera contest. Octavia's trying to tell Paola that she'll stay in her room, she's not going out looking for the naco. Paola says she's not staying there with Octavia's husband, who she hates. There's some pushing and a lot of hair flying when the doorbell interrupts their cat fight. It's Rene, and Octavia tells him that she hopes he can convince Paola that she doesn't need to be out on the street looking for drugs. Rene, the new improved Rene, who doesn't act goofy anymore, tells Paola that she's not going anywhere.

At the fabrica, Pancho is screaming for Emilio to come out so he can show him who's boss, is met by Caramelo, who tells Pancho to beat it. It's the same as always with these two -- Pancho's telling her to stay away from the "munequita de pastel" Emilio. And she's asking what difference it makes, he has another wife.

Back to Rene & Paola, where Rene is telling Paola that she needs to stop taking drugs, he wants to save her, he wants to give her the same advice that her aunt Yolanda gave to him. Drugs are bad, Paola. But Paola needs drugs because her husband doesn't love her. Rene tells her she must fight this addiction! It's a disease!

Next we return to the fabrica, where Caramelo tells Pancho that all of the love she felt for him is turning to hate. Of course Pancho the super macho doesn't understand this. As he rants about Caramelo going to Orlando with Emilio, Beatriz is just looking at him with disgust, which prompts a nice kiss on the lips from Pancho the macho.

Caramelo tells Emilio that Pancho has left the fabrica, and Emilio is upset to see that she's crying again. He tells her that she needs to have a little dignity, and gives her a big hunky shoulder to cry on.

Meanwhile, Paola is also crying over Pancho as she tells Rene that she needs drugs. Rene tells her to fight, resist, and although he tries, he falls just short of squeezing out a tear of pure dolor. Violins take us to commercial.

Back from commercial, Diana is telling Fedora that she's afraid that history is going to be repeated - that she will be separated from her baby for all of his life. Fedora's sure that the woman will call back, then she mentions that it's logical that Diana and Maximilliano are upset, but she's noticed that Diego doesn't seem to be bothered by the baby's disappearance. Diana hadn't noticed.

Speak of the devil, we're transported to TeleMiama hospital where Diego is in Bruna's room when Marfil arrives. She tells him that she's not sure she can trust him, and he responds by walking across the room.

Rene and Yolanda are at the new Irazabal house, discussing Paola's drug problems. She needs to go to rehab before something terrible happens.

Meanwhile, Isabels's neighbor tells her that she's going to return the baby if she doesn't do it herself. Isabel is impactada.

Back to Rene and Yolanda, where Yolanda says that she can't bother Max with Paola's problem because his baby is missing. Rene suggests that Larry can help, because Paola needs help immediately. They're interrupted by Max and Larry's arrival, but they have no news about the baby.

At the hospital, Marfil is impressed to hear Diego's plan to stay in a wheelchair so that Diana will never leave him. Now she knows that she can trust him.

Isabel and Eugenia are arguing about what to do about the baby. Isabel is afraid that they'll be charged with kidnapping if they return the baby, so Eugenia suggests that they leave him in a park and then call the police. They go to pick up Maxito and find that his fever is back, so now they can't just drop him off at a park. Eugenia says that they'll have to return him.

Diego and Marfil are scheming about how to keep Diana and Max apart - he suggests that she convince Max to take the baby from Diana. Then Diana will hate him forever. Marfil thinks it just might work - she never wanted to raise the little nurse's baby, but at least she won't have to deform her body by getting pregnant.

Isabel and Eugenia are freaking out at the latest news in the paper - that the baby has been stolen. Now the police will think that they're baby thieves and they'll end up in prison!

Speaking of prison, we return to TeleMiama jail, where Camila and Ignacio are still arguing with the transvestites and Silvia. Ignacio and Camila are thrilled to hear the news about Diana's baby being stolen, and the trannies are outraged at their heartlessness.

From San Francisco, Roberto is trying to reach his cousin Ignacio by phone and doesn't understand why he's not getting an answer. Fiona is whining to him about how he doesn't give her enough attention, he tells her that he's got to arrange the trip to Miami and will be back in a few hours. No problemo, she's looking forward to the trip because she'll get a chance to rekindle an old flame when she sees Maximilliano. Cut to commercial.

We return from commercial to Isabel and Eugenia, where Eugenia convinces Isabel that she needs to call Diana and arrange to return the baby. Isabel agrees, but says they should check on the baby's fever first.

At the mansion, Silvia is telling about how she ended up in jail because of Ignacio and Camila, but Lala tells her that with everything going on in the house, her absence didn't matter. Silvia's a little flustered by Lala's comments, but manages to ask if there's been any news about the baby. When she learns that there hasn't, she suggests that they call a psychic she knows!

Meanwhile, the baby's fever has not gone down, and Isabel is worried that he's going to die.

At Bar Don Paco, Paco is telling someone on the phone that his marriage is a disaster when he's interrupted by the arrival of Yolanda and Rene, who want him to help Paola because she's never had the support of her mother.

Speaking of her mother, she's prowling like a cat around Paco's living room while Paola's curled up on the couch crying over Pancho. She says her only happiness is at the side of Pancho, and says that she misses her papa, who always loved her. Octavia thought bubbles that if she only know that Paco is her real father...

Paco isn't interested in hearing about Paola's problems. She's the one who ruined Caramelo's life. Yolanda hints that he would feel differently if he knew the truth - the truth that she's not authorized to tell him. Paco isn't interested, he just wants Paola as far away from him as possible.

Diana is laying in bed crying over Maxito when Silvia and Gaby enter and suggest that the psychic that Silvia knows may be able to help. Desperate times call for desperate measures!

Rene asks Yolanda why she didn't tell Paco that he's Paola'a father, and Yolanda tells him that Octavia's capable of anything if she knew.

Estrella Cosmica has arrived, and I see that she's wearing one of Caramelo's earrings on her turban. She reads the cards to Diana - she sees two women, two women who are identical like two drops of water - these women will cause Diana a lot of pain. Diana tells her that one of them is dead, but Estrella says they're both alive and they intend to destroy her! Diana is impactada. Estrella has no info about the baby.

We're transported to Max's rental house, where Marfil's home and wants to talk to him about the baby. She's sure the baby will return, and when he does, maybe they should get custody of him and raise him together. Max looks confused by this suggestion.

Estrella tells Diana that the baby is in the arms of strange people, and the cards are not clear, but it appears that many people want to harm Diana, including a beautiful woman who wants to win back a lover from her past. Jump to San Fran where Fiona is daydreaming about Max.

Eugenia is telling Isabel that they need to call and arrange to return the baby. They're both worried about the baby's fever.

Fedora is not happy to hear about the Estrella's card reading in her house. The woman is a charlatan, and all she's done is make Diana more nervous. They're interrupted by the phone - Eugenia tells her that she's called to give her the address of where the baby is so that she can come get him. Diana has her usual glassy eyed response, and we go to commercial.

Back from commercial, Eugenia tells her to come soon, the baby has had a fever. She also asks Diana not to call the police, as they didn't take the baby and they didn't know that Bruna had taken the baby. Diana promises that she won't call the police.

What Diana doesn't know is that her hubby's up to his same old tricks - he was listening in on the phone call. He's not happy at this latest development and calls his buddy Marfil to see what to do next.

Max is pacing around his new library in his ugly blue sweater as Rene, Yolanda, and Larry try to keep him calm.

Lala is telling Pancho about the baby's kidnapping, and Pancho wants to know how Diego's taking it, as he knows that Diego loves the baby. She says she doesn't know, he's behaving strangely, he's acting tense. He's not the good man he used to be - he's changed so much. Pancho says of course he's not, he's paralyzed and he's not loved by his wife.

Max is crying on Yolanda's shoulder in the company of Rene and Larry, who are telling him not to worry, when the phone rings. It's Diana - she knows where the baby is! Credits roll.
