Caray, Caray!

We open with a recap of Diana's collapse on the bedroom floor. Silvia discovers her. Silvia is wearing a black wig--it must be her mourning wig. Isabel is not letting anyone call 911, natch.

Camila and Iggy review the fire. Camila is upset.

Roddy and Lala discuss Pancho's case. He thinks it's okay. (So why is Puncho going to prison later in the episode.)

Now they are getting ready for Gaby's trial. I am going to cut to the chase. Gaby wins.

Well, I'll give a little more, but there was little to be had anyway. Once again, it was nothing like an American court system. If you've watched Perry Mason and Law and Order, you know you should at least have a jury and spectators. Kike and Larry are required to wait in the hallway where they spend time figuratively butting antlers. Kike is wearing dark glasses to cover up his black eyes. Larry tells him to let Gaby go since he knows Kike really hates her.
The trial consists of a few scenes where Gaby tells what happened in her various encounters with Andres, and there are some flashbacks of the actual scenes. The judge announces that she is innocent based on his study of the evidence and the ballistics and her testimony. When it's over, Gaby comes out with Granny M and Fidiota. They tell the results, and Kiki leads her away. Granny M tells Larry that she's sorry he loves too much.

Isabel and Silvia discuss Diana's fever. They don't want to let the family know, since they're all at Gaby's trial.

There are some more bedside scenes with Paola.

Pedro and Max discuss their upcoming conversion to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Lala visits Paola's bedside and apologizes for her miscreant son. She loves Paola and wants her to live. She gives her a cross. Emilio kisses Paola on the forehead while Caramelo and Paco look on. (BTW, doesn't Emilio love both Paola and Caramelo? He could do the bigamy thing too.) Then he tries to kiss Octopus, who sneers that she doesn't want any demonstrations of pity.

Pancho is now being taken from the jail to a true prison cell. They have swapped his orange jumpsuit for khakis. This looks like the same cell as before, but they have added a second bunk bed--and a new cellmate, Halcon. They exchange the usual pleasantries, such as what are you in for--Halcon is a bank robber. He tells Pancho don't worry, it's not so bad here. Solitary is worse. (I don't understand how Pancho has been put in prison, as he has not had a trial yet. I guess he will not be punished for the kidnapping as Caramelo and Diana have decided not to tell on their spouses.)

Isabel continues to forcefeed Diana with the poison tea. Diego comes over, and Silvia wants him out. But even he thinks it's ridiculous not to call a doctor. Isabel tells them she is worried--because a high fever can affect the brain. Apparently Isabel's cover story here is that it's an "emotional" fever, caused by the stress and sorrow of losing Max. (Even if they were inclined to believe her, has anyone ever heard of such a ridiculous thing? And Diana is a nurse herself--why trust Isabel?)

Max stands shirtless on the beach for a gratuitous baring of pecs. He flashes back to the scene where he is hanging from the rafters and Diana told him she spent the night with Diego. (Geez, can't even Pedro realize that Diana was just handing him a story and smack some sense into him?)

Silvia is till trying to throw Diego out of the apartment. He insists as Diana's husband he has rights. (Why aren't they divorced yet?) He finally leaves.

Diego, Iggy and Camila have convened at Iggy's for a debriefing. Camila is appalled when Diego uses the tu form. Diego reminds her that they're all equal now--equal killers. Iggy tells him not to go around broadcasting that news. Diego says they are linked forever in their bad deeds.

Diana wakes up and her stomach hurts again. Silvia promptly offers her more of the tea that Isabel made! Diana asks if it's true Max is dead. Yes, it's not a dream, Silvia says.

Fiona cries with Octy over the loss of Max. She's sad because she left her husband for him. (It's all about ME!) Octy now lets loose with a deluded monologue: How could all these horrible things happen? First "they" take her fortune away, and her mansion and her factory, they humiliate her, then I find myself living in a small apartment with this man who I once loved, but he turns out to be just a humble jerk who's not at my level who runs a bar on the beach (and he throw me out), and then I lose my son in a fire, and my daughter's in a coma. What did I do to deserve this?

Lala reports that Pancho is in prison.

Silvia tells Diana to stop thinking about Max so her fever will go down. She tells her that Diego was there. Now Mom comes in with Gaby. They report the happy news about the trial. But they are most worried about the fever. Gee, maybe Mom will do something. Credits roll.
