Caray, Caray!

Princess Fi is bending Octopus' ear about Max. Princess Fi wants to talk to Dimwit to see if Maxi-Moron mentioned her (Princess Fi's) name even once. Who cares?

More of Dimwit mourning over Max and the gaggle saying they can count on her. Dimwit needs to be strong for Maxito.

Princess Fi has gone back to Pasta's Palace and is now helping herself to another drink. What is she going to do without Max? What if Pasta makes her move? Woe is Princess Fi!

Emili-Oh, Roddy, and Sylvita are mourning over Max as well. "Max was like a brother to me," says Emili-Oh. Suddenly Sylvie starts hitting on Roddy. Roddy says he's engaged to Fidiota. Sylvie isn't about to be deterred; if he's ever available, she is more than willing to fill Fidiota's shoes.

Back to Dimwit and her posse. She's never going to get over the loss of Max!

Mid-drink at Pasta's Palace, there's a knock at the door. It's Cousin Eddie begging Princess Fi to take him back. She says he's probably pretty happy to hear about Max's death. "As a matter of fact, no I'm not. I'm not that kind of guy." He keeps begging for a second chance. Princess Fi seems to be contemplating it, since she's out of money and may soon be out on the streets.

Back to the Dimwit Entourage. They want Dimwit to move home. Dimwit would rather stay at Emili-Oh's place and sort things out. Fidiota then suggests she come back to Perfumes 'R Us, since the manicomio is gone. Dimwit wants to look for another job as a nurse. Looks like Fidiota is 0 for 3. Fidiota then tells Dimwit Peyote is Pasta's daughter.

Princess Fi makes up her mind. She never is going to go back to Cousin Eddie. She simply doesn't love him. Now she needs to figure out what to do when she gets evicted from Pasta's. "There is only one person who can help me. My friend, Ismael, the fisherman!!" How nice and tidy is that?

Ismael is offering to teach Max how to fish, when the phone rings. It's Princess Fi, his long-lost friend. He's all smiles, until she says she needs his help and wants to come visit right now. Suddenly, he looks impactada! Commercial.

I'm not really sure, but this is what I think is going on. . .Princess Fi really needs money and a place to stay. Ishy would really like to help his buddy, but he's really broke; the fish have not made him rich and he has just enough money to survive. Princess Fi says she's about to be evicted and wants to know if she can just stay with him for a few days or weeks. That seems to be OK.

Dimwit is still with her entourage when Isabel walks in with a tray of coffee. Everyone but Dimwit gets coffee. Dimwit gets magic tea. Fidiota asks the obvious about Isabel working for Dimwit, after Dimwit's sister shot Isabel's beloved nephew. They then point out Gaby was found innocent. Isabel calmly replies that if the courts found Little Doormat innocent, that's good enough for her. After Isabel leaves, Fidiota tells Dimwit to keep a close eye on Isabel. Orchestra of Doom.

Ishy tells Max he has an old friend coming to visit, but Max is leaving for Atlanta with his "grandfather." After escaping death, he's become a new man. A man bent on vengeance. He thanks Ishy for Ishy's kindness and promises to pay back the hospitality.

Dimwit gets another stomach cramp following the magic tea. Fidiota wants to call a doctor. After Fidiota runs out Dimwit has a heart-to-heart with Little Doormat. Little Doormat shouldn't let Luscious get away. L.D. replies she's not as strong as Dimwit and is afraid to confront Mommie Dearest and Kick Me. Meanwhile, Fidiota is in the other room with Sylvie, Roddy, Emili-Oh, Granny M, and Isabel. Fidiota wants to call a doctor. Isabel talks her out of it saying it's probably something Dimwit ate. With the aspirin, her fever should go down in a couple of hours. Roddy backs up Isabel's plan and Sylvie pipes up saying Isabel is a nurse and knows about these things. It's been decided, they'll wait two hours.

Marfil is telling Diablo she is just leaving for his house and will be there in a half hour. We see her getting into her little white Mercedes and fumble for the keys. Uh oh, this must be foreshadowing. Sure enough, we see a close-up of a gun between the car seats, and a hand reaching for it. Wait a minute, it's the little (now) red-headed weasel! As Marfil is driving by, LRW shoots and Marfil slumps over the wheel.

More discussion amongst the living room brigade about Dimwit's condition. Suddenly the doorbell rings; it's Princess Fi. Princess Fi needs to talk to Dimwit – it's very important. Fidiota says now isn't the time, but Princess Fi is persistent.

Luscious comes to visit the comatose Peyote. He pours out his tail of woe; Peyote is in a coma, Max is dead, Gaby won't fight for their relationship, Rene just left Yolanda to go to Germany, Pasta is divorcing Octopus. Apparently it's a bad time to be an Irascible; so much bad karma!

Kick Me has on his tight swimming trunks, when Little Doormat walks in. He tells her to change into her little bikini and accompany him to the pool. When she says she doesn't feel like it, he grabs her by the hair and threatens her. He says he won't take Larry's appearance at court out on her THIS time, since it's clear she had no control over "The Imbecile" showing up, but if he ever catches them together. . .Kick Me heads out to the pool telling Gaby to change quickly so she can rub suntan lotion on his back. Pobre de Gaby.

Princess Fi asks Dimwit if Max ever mentioned her (Princess Fi's) name at the asylum. Alas, he didn't. Princess Fi acknowledges that she and Dimwit didn't get off to a very good start, but now that Maxi-Mundane is gone, perhaps they can share their grief and become best friends.

Debora is gloating about finally paying Marfil back for all the years of misery Marfil caused Debora. All of a sudden we see police cars following Debora and the chase is on. We don't get to see much of a chase, since suddenly we cut to police cars rolling up to Marfil's Mercedes. The cops converge on Marfil with guns drawn. The one cop walks up and checks Marfil's pulse. "She's alive!" They then supposedly wake her up. She tells them she heard two shots, but doesn't know what happened. The cop asks if she knows of anyone who would want to kill her.

Mighty Max and Pedro say their good-byes to Ishy and Ishy's little girl. Max promises to get her a doll house. Pedro wants to steal a car like in his old days.

The chase continues and now Debora is running into a vacant house with the cops in hot pursuit.

The police tell Marfil she needs to accompany them to the sheriff's department, even if she doesn't know who shot at her.

Dimwit is delirious and calling for Maxi-Moron. Fidiota comes running in and tells Roddy to call 911. Isabel tries to stop them, but Fidiota will have none of that. Isabel stalled them two hours ago and now Dimwit is even worse! Isabel goes running out into the living room and Emili-Oh asks where she thinks she's going. As she's running to the front door, Isabel tells Emili-Oh that Fidiota no longer needs her services. Suddenly Emili-Oh gets worried and runs into Dimwit's room. Sylvie tries to stop Isabel, without success.

Meanwhile, Debora is holed up at the construction site, clutching her gun. They'll never take her alive! Finally, a gun battle breaks out.

Apparently Maxi-Moron and Pedro have stolen a mini-van. It's a trip down memory lane for Pedro, who was apparently a rebellion in his youth. All is fun and games until Maxi-Morose starts thinking about Dimwit and how she allegedly "cheated" on him with Diablo. Now she's going to be really sorry!

Fidiota and Roddy show up at the hospital. Yolanda and Pasta want to know why Roddy and Fidiota are so agitated. Roddy tells them Dimwit is gravely ill. As Fidiota heads to the ER, they run into Octopus. O--"What are you doing here? Stay away from my daughter!" Fidiota says "I have no intention of seeing Peyote; Dimwit is seriously ill." Octopus tells Fidiota she hopes Dimwit dies. Brrrrrr! I could all but see the ice crystals form on the TV screen. Roddy has to hold Fidiota back from attacking Octopus! Insults are then exchanged until Fidiota remembers she has a daughter to tend to; it's not always about fighting with Octopus. Octopus then mutters she hopes Fidiota has to suffer as much as she does, following the death of Max.

The standoff continues. Finally a cop gets Debora in his gun sights.

DoK tells Dulce, and later Fidiota and Roddy, that Dimwit was poisoned. At first he thinks Dimwit was trying to kill herself, but Fidiota says there's no way Dimwit would do anything like that. Finally a light bulb goes on over Fidiota's head. "It's that nurse!" DoK says they need to report this to the police.

The shoot-out continues. She'll never be taken alive!!! Finally she points her gun at a copy and he shoots her smack dab in the middle of her forehead. As she looks surprised, she gets shot in the back by another cop. Guess the show must be winding down, since we see our Little Red-headed Weasel fall from about three stories up and land in a pit. We see a close-up of her bullet wounds, so it will be hard to see her recover from this one; apparently her nine lives have finally run out.

Isabel is frantically packing to make a quick getaway. Now that Dimwit is in the hospital, everyone will know Dimwit was poisoned. From there, they will put two and two together and get Isabel. Isabel is going to go to New Orleans and stay with her friend Petra until things calm down. Just as she's leaving, who should be at her front door but Fidiota, Roddy, and the men in blue! As they take her into custody, Isabel is claiming she didn't poison anyone. She cries and denies her activities as they are hauling her away. Buh bye! Another loose end nicely tied up; you can tell the show is winding down.

Marfil finally shows up at Diablo's Dungeon, six hours late. He starts yipping at her, so she tells him what happened and how she was detained by the police. She has no idea who tried to kill her.

Granny M is visiting Dimwit and bringing her up to speed about what happened. Dimwit thought Isabel was nice; why would she do such a thing? Granny M wants Dimwit to get better so she can be reunited with Mini-Max. Dimwit is still mooning over Maxi-Moron. Cousin Eddie is whining to Doc Evil about losing Princess Fi. Iggy tells him to get over it. "I will never love another woman. . . Unless it is Dimwit!" Iggy is appalled. I'm appalled. "Dimwit is special." I could just barf. Iggy looks like he wants to barf.

Marfil is not in the mood. She's had a long day. She gets a call from the police to go to the morgue and identify Debora. Marfil says it can't be Debora, Debora died in a fire awhile ago. She hangs up, muy impactada!

The next morning she and Diablo are at the morgue. She tells the attendant it couldn't possibly be her dead twin sister. Pobre de Marfil, that's exactly who it is! She then tells the attendant it was obviously Debora who tried to kill her the day before. We then see Debora with a fake-looking scar, unlike any burn I've ever seen, and singed "red" hair. Hmmm. Wasn't Debora also a blonde? I don't have time to contemplate this as the

Credits roll.
