Caray, Caray!

[Here is Monday's recap a little late...]

In Taxco, Guerrero, Paula and CL are having dinner together. CL tells Paula that he does not want to take her to bed, but to make love to her. She seems to like the idea... She tells him that to make love, you need love and they lack that in their relationship. He says that he is falling in love with her and that she is much more than a conquest. She tells him that she has spent many a night dreaming/thinking about him. [ed. i can't believe what i'm hearing... Pristine Paula waxing romantic with a married man... just like her momma. wow. but, i digress.]

Yadira and her mom are comparing Enrique and Fernando. Yadira is worried that Enrique will cause problems at the party and try to start an arguement with Fernando. Mama Cachon tells her to relax. Yadira says that if anything happens, it is on her head because it is her party.

Yadira joins Fernando at the party and they are getting lovey dovey and it is bothering Enrique immensely. Juan tells Yadira and Fernando that one of them will have to leave the party. Fernando replies that he is not leaving. Juan tells Fern that he will not ruin Nidia's party.

Juan thinks to himself that he has a duty to protect the house and its contents and does not want things between Fernando and Enrique to erupt. Fernando and Enrique exchange menacing glances across the room.

Back at Taxco, Paula tells CL that he has two little problems, 1. he is married and 2. he does not want to fall in love with her. He babbles some stuff about his marriage not being satisfying or something like that. She tells him what kind of love she is looking for. She says that she doesn't want a small portion of love, she wants the real deal. [um, then maybe you might want to try someone who is not married... um, okay, i will ease up on Paula.]

Back at the party, the revelers are dancing the night away. Juan tells Enrique to buck up. Enrique is getting beligerant with Juan and feeling pretty gosh darn bad.

Paula asks CL if he is trying to get her drunk. He says no. She tells him that when she drinks she loses complete control. The topic then turns back to his marriage. She tells him that she doesn't think he will be getting a divorce. She tells him to get some rest, thanks him, and gives him a good night kiss.

The revelers are still having a good time at the party except for Enrique. Nidia thanks her party guests. She gets dramatic and announces her engagement to Alirio. The crowd does a collective gasp. Alirio is over the moon.

Alirio tells her that is the best news he has heard and that if he had wings he would fly. She tells him basta. She tells him that the rules of engagement between them will be specific. She will have control of her money. And he will be in charge of getting her the money. She lays down the law and he agrees.

Paula and CL are in their respective bedrooms thinking about the other. They are having trouble sleeping.

Fernando is bothered by Kike staring at him all night. Yadira tells him to pay him no mind.

Cl knocks on Paula's door...She asks what is her doing there? He says he was having trouble sleeping. He tells her that he is in love with her. She is dubious. She closes the door in his face. And then opens it again and a night of passion ensues.

CL's wifey is also having trouble sleeping so she decides to give him a call at the hotel. Phone rings... no one answers. She leaves a message for him.

Paula is now feeling the pangs of regret as she is laying in bed with CL. She says that he is her boss, he is married, etc., etc., etc. He tells her to give him an opportunity to show her what he feels for her. Her conscious goes out the window as they go for round two...

Enrique and Fernando start arguing. Kike has to stand on a chair to reach Fern...

Marely and Juan are talking about Nidia's upcoming nuptuals. Juan tells Marely that we all have a right to make our own lives. Juan says that Nidia is a vibrant, happy woman and that her and Alirio make a good pair. Marely says that they are still supposed to be in mourning and that her father has not been gone that long. Marely says that she knows that her mother does not love Alirio. Juan then tries to put a move on Marely, touching her hand, stroking her hair and almost confesses his love for her. But, they are interrupted by the fight between Kike and Fernando.

Nidia says that she will not allow fighting in her home. She tells Yadira that its her fault. She says that they are in a civilized home and they will conduct themselves as such.

Juan tells Kike that Yadira is not the only woman in the world and to give her some time and space. "Un clavo saca otro clavo." (i love that saying) Juan tells him to find someone else and have fun. Kike is a big sourpuss and says Y is the only woman for him. (wah, wah...) He tells Juan that he is not like him and that he only needs one woman. Juan tells him that it is better that he found out now rather than later how Yadira is. Enrique tells Juan that he probably does not know what real love is and that true love is having only one person.

Paula flashes back to a conversation she had with her mother about trust. She is having more pangs of regret.

Marely is outside waiting for Juan to return. He looks suprised. She asks how things went with Enrique. He says fine. He asks what happened to the party guests. She says her mother ran everyone off after the fight. Marely thanks him again for all the things he has done for them. Taking care of them after her father died and all his other responsibilites. He feels guilty and decides to tell her the truth. He confesses that he never studied at the university and that he lied to her. He tells her that she was his motivation and that he was trying to impress her. She is visibly upset and tells him that trust is the most important thing and that he is a liar.
