Caray, Caray!

Opening scene: Lala visits Caramelo at the fabrica to ask her to visit pobre de Pancho in jail. Caramelo doesn't know if she can bring herself to do it after all of the pain he's caused her, and considering that he's the one who kidnapped Max.

At the mansion, Diana tells Miguelina about her plans to get a job at the manicomio where Max has been admitted so that she can take care of the man she loves. Miguelina lets her know that Fedora's not going to permit this, but Diana is adamant that she's going to do it anyway because Max needs her.

At TeleMiami hospital, Dr. Evil and Diego have arrived to give Max his latest injection. Diego stands in the hallway whil Ignacio enters Max's room.

The following day, Max's doctor tells Yolanda, Larry, and Marfil that it appears that Max has gone completely mad, and he will recommend an asylum for him.

Back to the mansion, where Gaby doesn't want to get out of bed... today's the day she'll marry Kike, and Fedroa surprises her with a wedding dress. In the living room, Diana learns from Yolanda that Max is going to be institutionalized. Fedora enters the room all abuzz with plans for the wedding, and Diana informs her that she's quitting her job at the fabrica. Fedora is impactada.

Max is twitching and talking crazy - he doesn't recognize anyone, and thinks they're all trying to kill him.

Diana tells Fedora about what's happened to Max. Fedroa, who's nearly as evil as Octavia these days, is happy to hear that one of Octavia's children has fallen on hard times again. Diana lets her know that she intends to get a job as a nurse so that she can take care of him. Cue the synthesizers of doom!

Back to the hospital, where Larry and Yolanda are clueless as usual. Nancy calls Larry to let him know that at 2:00 Gaby will marry Kike.

Fedora and Diana continue to fight over Diana's love for Max. It's the same argument as usual. Fedora tells Diana to get out of her sight, then proceeds to gulp down a tumbler of whiskey.

Octavia has arrived at the hospital to see Max and learns from Marfil that he's going to be institutionalized. At least she's covered her breasts for a change - today's gold dress is downright wholesome compared to the skimpy outfits she usually wears.

Ignacio, Diego, and Camila are at Ignacio's place toasting their latest victory when Ignacio receives a call from a worker at the hospital saying that Max is going to be institutionalized.

The wedding is about to begin at the mansion - the judge has arrived and Fedora sends Silvia to tell Gaby that he's there. Gaby is crying to Diana about how she doesn't want to marry Kike. Diana tells her that there's nothing she can do... then Silvia enters the room to tell her the time has come, and her loving sister Diana tells her that it's too late for regrets.

Max has been transferred to the asylum. Marfil, Yolanda, and Octavia have accompanied him. The doc can't guarantee that he'll get better...

The wedding begins. Gaby and Kike sit down together to sign the documents and Gaby looks like she's going to lose her lunch. Kike, of course, doesn't notice. He's happy as ever.

Max is shown to his room. Apparently his insanity has impacted his motor skills because he's barely able to walk and is unable to focus his eyes. Yolanda's nerves are fried and she runs from the room in tears.

Back to the wedding, where the judge asks if anyone objects to the wedding and Larry is there to object. He says "Gaby's you can't marry, you are mine!" as a tear of pure dolor falls from his eyes. Gaby and Kike say nothing in response, and we cut to commercial.

After the commercial, Larry continues to protest the wedding, but Fedora quickly puts a stop to it. Kike holds Gaby back.

In the hospital, the doctor and nurse continue to struggle with Max, who keeps talking about Diana. Marfil leaves the room, and his big brute nurse throws him onto the bed and tells him to knock it off or she'll punish him. It looks like Bruna has been reincarnated as a nurse!

Marfil and Ocatvia talk to the doctor, who tells them that he's not sure that Max will ever fully recover. He may need electro shop therapy!

Fiona is still staying at casa Irazabal, and she's pacing the living room wondering what she'll do if Max doesn't come back. Yolanda arrives and tearfully tells her what's happened. Fiona is impactada.

Larry's still trying to talk Gaby out of marrying Kike, but doormat isn't strong enough to stand up to Fedora, whos' fighting like a fiera to get Larry to leave.

Marfil and Octavia tell the doc to do whatever is needed to cure Max, even if it's electro shock therapy. While they're talking with the doc, a crazy guy is telling Max horror stories about the manicomio where they are - it's filled with crazy people! Max seems to be lucid, but can't remember his name.

The nurses are discussing the arrival of an Irazabal at the manicomio. Samanta, the evil nurse, tells Galdis, the young sweet nurse, that if he doesn't behave she will punish him. (Maybe Max will fall in love with Gladis and forget about his obsession with the other nurse in his life!)

At the mansion, Fedora tells Larry to leave, but he refuses - until Gaby tells him to leave, breaking his heart into a million pieces. She falls into Diana's arms, and Fedora commands them to complete the ceremony. Cut to commercial.

After the commercial, Paco and Paola are at it again. Nothing new here - they hate each other.

Rene is consoling Yolanda at casa Irazabal. What a nice shoulder to cry on!

Kike and Gaby are officially married, and the only one who looks happy is Fedora, who claps as the ceremony ends. She kisses Gaby on the cheek and congratulates the happy couple. Gaby turns to her sister and grandmother for comfort as Fedora watches.

Larry is walking the beach shirtless and saying Gaby's name.

Yolanda tells Rene about what's happened with Max, but she doesn't want to delay their wedding since the doctor doesn't know when - or if - Max will get better. Marfil arrives and wants to know where Fiona is, because she's throwing her out on her ear. Fiona is pacing around the pool when Marfil comes out to tell her to pack her bags and leave.

Gaby has shut herself in her room with Diana and is crying over Larry, when Diana tells her that it's not to late to run off with Larry if that's what she wants. She had to marry Kike - there was no avoiding it, but now that she's married, she can do something crazy. She should follow her heart. *What kind of messed up logic is this, anyway? She couldn't stop the wedding, but now that she's married, she might as well run off into the sunset with Luscious Larry?* Anyway, Diana's pep talk works - as soon as she leaves the room Gaby calls Larry to find out where he is. She loves him!

Diana returns to her room so that she can call Yolanda for an update. She finds out where they've taken Max, then we're treated to a vision of Max curled up on his bed repeating her name and wondering why he keeps repeating it. Evil nurse Samanta enters and lets him know that there are a lot of crazies there and he's not her only patient.

The wedding reception continues - Fedora invites Kike to live at the mansion, and Kike is happy to accept. They suddenly realize that they haven't seen Gaby in a while, so Fedora goes to look for her.

Octavia returns home and tells Paco how hard it was to leave Max in that place, when Paola overhears what she says and asks what's happened to Max. Cut to commercial.

After the commercial, Paola screams at Octavia about how it's her fault that her children are messed up. Octavia is about to slap her, but is stopped by Paco, so she sends Paola to her room instead.

At the wedding, Miguelina introduces Lala to Rodrigo so that Lala can ask him to defend her son, the bigamist. Without any details about the crime, he agrees to handle the case.

Fedora enters Diana's room looking for Gaby, but Diana doesn't know where Gaby is. Then she realizes that Diana has changed her clothes and wants to know why. Diana informs her that she's changed so that she can go to the asylum where Max is. Fedora forbids her, but Diana walks out on her.

The closing scene is worth watching 2, 3, maybe 4 times -- as we're treated to a visual of Larry smiling and running towards Gaby with his gold chain bouncing on that beautiful six pack of his. When he reaches her, he scoops her up in his big, strong arms and whirls her around and then they kiss like they've never kissed before. Credits roll.
