Caray, Caray!

Cesar Luis is visiting Paula's mother inquiring where P is. She tells him that Paula no longer lives there. He wants to know why she moved out, she tells him that they had an argument and she left. He asks what they were arguing about. She tells him that it is personal, but ends up telling him anyway. She tells him that they were arguing about him. She tells him she is aware of his relationship with her daughter and does not want Paula to live the same life that she did. He tells her "lighten up, times have changed, I love Paula, etc., etc." She says she merely wants to open both their eyes that what they are doing is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Yadira enters the house to find Aliro in his underwear. He is humiliated and assures her that it is not what it looks like. She pokes some fun at his hot boxers.

CL says love is important, blah, blah, blah. He reiterates that his intentions are good and he loves Paula. He says that he does not want her and Paula to have problems because of him. She tells CL that if he truly loves Paula, to show her with actions.

Juan and Alirio are talking in the study. Juan is berating and telling him that its his duty to take care of the ladies in the house. Juan says how could a man so proper lower himself to act so foolish. Alirio says he was trying to profess his love and whatnot.

Back at Ana's, CL is still there trying to get her on board with their adultery and give her blessing. She reminds him that he is married, he says that he is getting separated. While he is talking, CL gets a call from his wifey. He gets irritated with all her questions.

Juan is giving Alirio some advice. Juan, of course, is doing that whole puppet master thing with Alirio so he can get Nidia off his back. He tells Alirio that Nidia does want to get married and they really need to set a date. In essence, he is making Alirio push harder.

CL wants Ana to understand where he is coming from. She says she really doesn't want to talk about it with him. He says he will talk to Paula.

Ana gets her address book and dials the number to CL's house, but doesn't follow through.

Yadira is berating Nidia about the Perafan incident. Yadira says it was his fault, she had nothing to do with that. She says she has been frightened, humiliated, her reputation has been besmerched, blah, blah. She continues on saying that they are not married and how wrong that must look. Alirio enters the bedroom again, without knocking. Nidia is all like, "oh you again. get out." He tells her that this time he is there with Juan's blessing. She looks suprised. He says he wants to talk to her alone and asks Yadira to leave. She leaves. She tells him he has behaved like a pig and wants him out of her room. He says that he is not leaving until she hears him out.

Next we are treated to a delicious scene in which Juan is getting ready. It shows him going through the motions of laying out his clothes, shining his buckle and applying his cologne. It is amusing and he is so charming... Yes, I think I love me some Juan. But, I digress. This was a really cute scene.

Alirio is telling Nidia all that he has done for her and is going through the list. He tells her that he will cancel the check if she does not agree to play nice and will tell the Davila ladies that they are the true beneficiaries. Nidia is muy impactada.

Juan comes down the stairs. Yadira compliments him on his appearance, asks where he is going. A dull exchange that is not germane to the plot. He has another exchange with Marely.

Nidia acts indignant, does her signature breast hoisting. He says he is finished playing her games. She promised him something that she had no intention of following through on. He has given her an ultimatum.

Paula is in front of the mirror looking forlorn with a token tear falling down her cheek.

Nidia is trying to buy some time and stalling, saying she need time to plan. (flowers, invites, etc.) Alirio says nu-uh... only important thing is the couple. She wants one month so she can diet. He says one week and no dieta... He exits. She weeps.

CL is questioning Pastor about where Paula could be and who was the last person to see her. He says Juan... He demands Pastor get Juan on the phone so he can find where Paula is staying. Pastor calls casa Cachon. Yadira tells him that Juan is not there and that he had some kind of appointment. They called it a "compromiso", I guess that is the same... She wonders aloud what kind of compromiso Juan had and says that he smelled good. She taunts Marely and asks her if she is interested...

CL is frustrated and has a drink. He is rambling about women and how men have to wait on them, etc, etc. *yawn*

Juan arrives at Paula's. She chit chat about where they are going to dine. They agree on French food and Paula gets to sit in the front seat this time.

Nidia tells her daughters that she will marry Perafan next week. The girls are muy impactadas.

Yadira asks what is the hurry on the nuptuals. Nidia says he is the last train. Marely says there are other fellas in the world, why him? Nidia says he is the only one to propose matrimony. They ask her if she is sure about what she is doing. She tells them that Alirio will be moving in. They are not happy about that.

Juan and Paula arrive at the French restaurant. He goes in first talks to the guy and they have a conversation that I do not understand.

CL is back at his casa having a drink. His wife comes in and demands to what is wrong. He asks her what prompted that question. She says that he is moody and has been acting strange and that it couldn't be about the pregnancy. He says that is why. She doesn't buy it. She asks again, what is going on??

Juan and Paula are in the car. He tells her that he does not have enough money to take her out for the fancy francais meal. He tells her that he didn't want to take her to a tres pesos dinner. She says that she is not a snob and came from a lower eschelon herself and has had many tres pesos dinner. They agree to dine whereever.

CL denies that anything is wrong and there is nothing happening. She tells him that their marriage is in crisis.

Juan and Paula are driving around looking for their restaurant. Their hands touch on the arm rest in the car.

CL and his wife are continuing their argument. Monica is tellling him that she knows what he does when he is out of the house and traveling. She says he is not the came Cesar that she fell in love with.

Paula and Juan are at the restaurant. They have some boring chit chat...Topics covered: Cesar Luis, the food, weapons of mass destruction. (okay, they didn't talk about the wmd)

Yadira and Marely are talking. Yadira tells Marely that she knows she has a thing for Juan. Marely asks Yadira what does she care. Marely gets mad. Yadira is poking at Marely for looking out the window, waiting for Juan.

Juan and Paula are talking about work. Paula tells Juan that she is going to resign. He gets a hang dog look. :(
