Caray, Caray!

Sorry this is late again. I have had a temporary computer malfunction.

Eduardo gives Fiona a new ring. She gives it back. She wants to end the farce of their marriage. She loves another man!

Rene and Yolanda talk about shopping.

Marfil, still wearing the purple eyeshadow, questions where Max is. Diana, still wearing the tube top and lots of green eyeshadow, assures her that Max went to Chicago --yeah, Chicago, that's right.
Marfil is not happy.

Diana is now sitting in her room and begging forgiveness from Maxi telepathically for making him think she slept with Diego. Max is still hanging from the ceiling. We now see for the first time that he is still wearing those white shoes although shirtless! He cries out to the Diana gods: You shouldn't have made the sacrifice. He vows to kill Diego. He really looks creepy to me.

Eduardo wants to talk to Fiona, but she isn't buying. There's no romance, and she's tired of his attitude.

Puncho and Diego plot strategy. The realize that Caramelo, Lala, and Diana know about the plot, but Diego is positive that none of them will call the cops.

More of a boring scene where Rodrigo tries to seduce Fedora. He tells her that he always respected her husband, and that's why he never tried to seduce her before. She asks him to help her forget her love for Paco.

Diana calls Diego. How does she have the number? She berates him for reneging on his promise to free Max.

More talk between Rodrigo and Fedora.

Iggy, Camila and Eduardo are chatting. Camila reveals that the other man is Max. She smirks.

Diana is still begging Diego to spare Maxi. You are a monster, she says. Only the monster that you made, he tells her.
He continues his trademark fume.

Rodrigo and Fedora continue. He accuses her of wasting time. Paco has a new wife. You should take a new path.

Eduardo rails against Max for taking his wife.

Diego is now with his mom. She wants to know if he freed Max. The police come. Diego points a gun at the door. Who told the police--was it you? No? Then it must have been Diana. Diego finally is persuaded to lower the gun. Turns out the cops are not there for the kidnapping--they've got a warrant to arrest Puncho for the major crime of bigamy. Psych! Condensing this sequence: Lala really has a chance to chew the scenery. Sooner or later, both her sons are going to prison. I was always a good mother, she laments. Maybe we were humble and didn't have luxuries, but I set you on a good path. Diego interrupts: "mama," Don't touch me with those filthy hands, she says. You kidnapped a good man. He is a million times better than you. Wow!

Meanwhile, Puncho is still torturing Max. He waves some food in front of his nose but won't give him any.

Silvia is in the jail cell. She indulges another one of her fantasies. She's Eve, and Puncho is Adam. Puncho has a live boa constrictor around his neck! Man does not live by bread alone, she says. She gives him the apple. This scene, like so much else, makes no sense.
Just in time, Emilio comes to bail her out. I had forgotten that he was her cousin. Anyway, it was a nice thing to do.

Diana plays with her baby on the bed. His daddy's life is in the hands of the Virgin of Guadalupe, she says.

Octavia and Paola continue arguing about Paola's drug use and no-good husband. Paola can't believe they turned him in. (I can't believe the police sent someone with a warrant for arrest for a minor crime like this! I also can't believe the police didn't recognize Octy and arrest her for murder when she went down to the station. Remember that warrant for her arrest?) Octy tells Paola that that disgraceful Puncho will be locked up for years for the lacra (scar or blemish) that he is. Paola wants to know why her mother butted in. It's my problem, says Octy. Paola asks why she couldn't let it go. You never loved me. Octy gently responds: You're trouble. You need to dry out.

Fiona shows up at Casa Irascible. Lunkhead answers the door. She wants to wait for Max there. She has no money and can't go to a hotel. What about Marfil? No matter. She pulls her rolling suitcase in and comes in.

Caramelo and Diana plan a way to help Max escape. Since Diana was blindfolded, she didn't know the location of the hideout. But now, they will follow Diego the next time he goes there.

Diana and Caramelo catch up. Everything's the same. They vow not to call the cops.

Back at Emilio's Silvia thanks him for taking her back to the apartment.

Paola tells Octy she needs Puncho because mom never loved her. Mom tells her she must go to rehab. Paola tells Octy that it's too late for her to play the role of mother. I hate you for never being a mom! I hate you for turning Pancho in. Orchestra of Doom swells.

Paola calls Puncho to warn him about the arrest. She tells him that her own mother did it. Puncho says he will escape and find her. He loves her. Diego brings Puncho more clothes. Puncho points out that he has plenty of experience getting away from the cops, so Diego shouldn't worry.

Meanwhile, Iggy and Eduardo go to the fabrica to look for Max. They meet Diana, who asks Eduardo "Who are you?" Cut to credits.
