07/09 Juan Querendon
We open with Yadira and her mama in the ladies room prettying up and discussing Fernando. Yadira makes it clear that she is definitely interested in Fernando. Her mom asks, what about Enrique? She says that Enrique cannot possibly measure up to Fernando. Not in class, looks, money, or anything. Her mother tells her to get to know him first and and don't be so forward, and that she is practically giving it away. She says she is not going to pretend to be coy or play the good girl when it comes to Fernando.
Nidia drags a very drunk, can barely stand Alirio to the dance floor. The gang discusses Alirio's drunkeness, Marely comments on the ick factor of her mom hooking up with Alirio. Juan says she is just having a good time and that there is nothing wrong with that. Yadira asks if Juan is a little bit jealous. I didn't get exactly what he said, but I am pretty sure it was a no.
Yadira and Fernando are making out in his car. Lots of gross slopping kisses complete with sound effects. They make plans to see eachother the next day. Fern wants more, but Yadira asks him not to pressure her. He says she is driving him loco, she says likewise.
Juan and Marely return home. Marely says she had a good time. And the next time, she will invite him out. She also tells him to thank Fernando for her and since she was not able to tell him goodbye because Yadira was monopolizing him. She says that Fernando told her that she was assured a job at their office. She tells Juan that when she gets paid, she will take him out for a movie. Juan is muy happy...
Nidia and a still drunk Alirio are in the study. He is chasing her around trying to make some advances. She is rejecting and he is begging... She kicks him out of the casa because he said something she interpreted as pornographic.
Juan is laying in bed, unable to sleep because he is so happy/giddy. He doesnt know how he is going to handle the Marely job situation, but he says he will think of something.
Juan is sitting down to breakfast and Nidia joins him. She says she wants to talk to him about something. She tells him to be careful with Marely and that she may look grown up, but she is still a nina. He tells her that he is a gentleman and that he will not take advantage of her. She then hands him a stack of bills that she wants him to pay. classy...
He is impactado and wonders how he is going to pay them.
Enrique and the mariachis are released from jail. He looks very sad...
Fernando and CL are going having breakfast too and discussing the previous nights events. Fern gives CL the low down on Juan, the sisters, and whether Juan is gay. Fern says that he thought he was straight, but with the way he dances, now he is not so sure.
Ivonne arrives at the office and is greeted by Pastor. She asks him how his night went. He says he spent the evening with his mother. She informs him that she has some bad news. He says its too early in the morning for bad news. She gives him the chisme about Juan being out at the club with girls and that he was having a good time. Pastor looks heartbroken.
She goes on to tell him that Fernando was out with them too. Pastor is not going to sit by and let him toy with his affections and vows to get even.
Paula and Juan are driving to work. Paula asks him how his night was. He says it was fun and went excelente...
Enrique goes to talk to Yadira. He confronts her about her whereabouts. She says that she was obligated to go because her mother and Perafan invited her and Marely. She gets upset with him. While they are talking, the phone keeps ringing and she is yelling for someone to pick it up. Marely yells that it is for her. Its fernando. She prentends its one of her friends. He asks when can he see her again. She tells him to call her later.
Enrique asks her who she was speaking with. He tells her that he knows it was a man she was talking to. She insists that it was a female friend from the university. They begin shouting and arguing. Nidia comes down and tells him not to yell as if they are in the merdado and to leave and come back when he is more calm. He leaves. Nidia gives Yadira the 'i told you so' schpeel.
[my recorder stopped here and picked up at...]
Juan and Fernando are in the parking garage. Fernando tells Juan that he owes him for half of the nights festivities. He thought bubbles that he needs to resolve the problem of getting Marely a job there, figure out how to pay the bills Nidida gave him, and pay for Fernando back for the night.
He goes to Paula and tells her that he needs a loan from the empresa. She tells him that if she could help him, she would. However all those financial matters have to go through Pastor.
Perafan is sitting at his desk having some alka seltzer and trying to get Nidia on the phone. He is unsuccessful. He thought bubbles that when he gets his hands on their forturne, she will not close the doors of her heart to him and that Juan Dominguez will be history.
Some guy (Gutierrez) comes into his office demanding Perafan pay him the money he owes him. He tells him to be patient and he will get his money.
Juan finally goes to Pastor for the money. He tells him that he is the only one who can help him.
Paula goes to CL to tell him about Juan's financial problems. CL tells her that Pastor is the one those matter go through. CL agrees to help Juan and he will talk to Pastor to get him his funds.
Juan gives Pastor a sob story about his cousin he stays with, she has five kids and they are about to be evicted and whatnot. Pastor comes back with a "if the situation is so dire, how could you go out partying?"
Enrique is thinking about the Yadira situation and replaying what she told him. He is sad and jealous...
Juan says the reason he was out was because it was a family function, one of his cousins was celebrating a birthday. Pastor says he is not stupid. Why was Fernando there? Juan says what harm has he done to him? He tells Juan that he shouldn't toy with his affections or use him... and he turns him down.
Perafan calls Juan at the office. He is reminding him about some loan thingie. I am not sure what they are talking about, but it is adding more to Juan's stress.

Nidia and Alirio were fantastic again last night, but I hope they move beyond the chase-around-the-desk stage before it gets tiresome. However I'm not sure in which direction they should move; I'm not sure I'm ready for that pairing.
I love Juan's relentless optimism. He actually approached Pastor for a salary advance! I would never have had that kind of nerve. On the other hand, I would have had Pastor on the mat for sexual harassment long before now.
At the risk of sounding lascivious, I think think they should have more shots of Juan sprawled out on the bed half naked. That dude is wicked eye candy.
I'm curious to see how Juan is going to pay all the debts he seems to have racked up.
It looks like Marely may end up working at Farrel Industries; this would go along with Schoolmarm's plot prediction of how Marely and Paula meet.
Thanks Lucy! (I'm a big fan of Mr. Juan too.)
"At the risk of sounding lascivious, I think think they should have more shots of Juan sprawled out on the bed half naked. That dude is wicked eye candy." Geez, Sylvia, did I miss THAT? What a terrible time to be on vacation. ;-)
Juan really is stacking up the markers--that others hold on him. All those payoffs are gonna make for some interesting novela moments.
